my current ROM is working complete fine EXCEPT for the caller ID, I was trying to download the SVA rom, but if it also has caller ID issue, then maybe I'll just wait for the next release :crying:

Hi Mark

I posted this on your site, but not sure if you saw it. I'm having a few issues after rooting and installing google play:

1) do you get "Android is upgrading" upon every reboot? Can't seem to avoid/fix it. And seems it is only the apps I download from the play store that need to be upgraded. The more apps I have the larger the number of apps that need upgrading each reboot.

2) do you get random signouts from your google account? I can't pinpoint how to trigger it, but randomly the phone gets signed out of google services and loses access to gmail/calendars/google services on the phone, and I have to re-login.

3) which version of firmware are you running? I upgraded to "N9002ZNUBMJ3" after getting it out of the box, but then wasn't able to downgrade to a modded chinese "MI7"-based ROM.

N9002 New Firmware, Should I Update?

Hi Guys,

I got my N9002 last week from eBay from a seller in china. Ready rooted + Google store, all well so far. While connecting it to the PC using Kies, I got a message that there is a new firmware update.

Current firmware version : PDA:MI7 / PHONE:MI7 / CSC:MI7 (CHU)

Latest firmware version : PDA:MJ6 / PHONE:MJ6 / CSC:MJ6 (CHU)

Is it to safe to update? Or will it reset the phone back to the Chinese version, delete google play...etc? I watched a video on you tube for a guy who updated his phone & still has play store.

Another thing that I find strange, 1) All contacts tend to disappear from the phone every once in a while. After a couple of restarts, they show up again. 2) The phone turns to mute mode in its own.

Anyone facing similar issues? Any solutions?

Appreciate your input guys. Thanks

Finally you free me

Marrkdaviid after almost one month trying to find how to install Google Play and remove all chinese bloatwares i finally found your instruction and everything is fine. Now i confirm that i feel free wth the best smartphone. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blizzaa:
SVA's ROM is the better solution imho. OriginallyI did it near-enough the same way that Mark did but decided to scrap it all and go for SVA's ROM a few days ago. It's the closest there is to having a normal N9005 version and keeping Dual Sim functionality.

I should have read more about backing up my data and apps because I have lost a fair bit but nothing too important. The added bonus of Samsung Keyboard, being able to use Play properly on the phone as well as the desktop is nice. I don't know if Mark manages to remove all the CN bloatware but when I did it there were still a few apps left over. With SVA there aren't any.

Caller ID is a bug for some, and I see SVA has released an update to fix that so I might need to do it again. If I backup properly this time it might be a lot easier, and good practice if the developer continues working on this ROM, for the future.

I am experiencing a contacts bug that someone else had, they just disappear, but i'm finidng that i just need to sync with Google contacts again and they come back. I also have to join back to the Play store sometimes, as an existing user. Not sure what that's all about but I guess I'm just getting kicked off from time to time.

If someone knows how to stop my contacts disappearing please share. Also I would like My Magazine to get Western content not Chinese.

There were some apps on SVA ROM that I installed and found I didn't really want, so maybe it's best to look them up beforehand and decide.

Thanks to Mark for the guide, and a great thanks to SVA for the ROM.

dear sir kindly do a deoxed rom if you can !!!

It's better than it was! I don't get it at all on boot, and just the white bg and logo on power off. Much better than before with the annoying voice! LOL

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigjimmy546:
I just downloaded SAV2, thanks again for the ROM.

however, I am still unable to fix the caller id issue in Taiwan (10digit) I've tried 10/9/8 and still no luck.

also I wasn't able to remove the lock button on the status bar.

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _SVA_:
Manual solution for caller id after install ROM:

Make a backup copy of all contacts or export them to sdcard

Fix in the file : /system/csc/others.xml:

<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>11</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>

from 11 to the length of the phone number in the your country for example 8

Open - Settings/Application Manager/All and clear data of "Contacts Storage"

Reboot

Recover or Import all saved contact

Now should all work
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigjimmy546:
SVA,

thanks for your quick reply, I've tried this menthod many times with 10/9/8 digits and still no luck.

it seems like a taiwan specific issue that requires a special contact provider apk to fix

also the ROM is mentioned odex, but I don't see the odex file, anything wrong with my phone?

can you let me know how to manually remove the lock button on the status bar?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blizzaa:
The Rom comes with a settings app, SVA ROM Settings v6.5 (on mine), and the second option down is 'statusbar settings' and there is an option to 'Hide lock icon'. You will probably need a restart/reboot after.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigjimmy546:
I did just that, but nothing happened

when I click on "large clock" an option pop up which requesting reboot, but when I click on "hide lock icon" nothing happens, even if I restart, the icon still there.

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _SVA_:
I am very sorry, but in SVA ROM Settings v6.5 all options work only in 2.0 Superb version.

In 2.0 Free work only "SVA ROM Reboot".

SVA ROM v2.0 download Link

Hi guys, I have a new N9002 that is already Root and with Google Play and it has with the build number version JSS15J.N9002ZNUBMI7

I bought this Note 3 Dual Sim N9002 from a guy in China at Amazon.com . I love the phone but the Keyboard and lack with languages (only comes with Chinese, Korean and English) as well as the chinese bloatware drives me crazy. I tire other keyboads from the Play Store and even use More Locale 2 app to be able to choose other languages like English and Portuguese. The More Locale2 app works fine, but i miss the good old Samsung Keyboard from my Note 2 from ATT.

So, it sounds like this new ROM will solve some of this problems, but i am trying to download from this link given, and after trying the Free link more 5 times and failing every time, i bought the service for Fast download for 1 month last night and it is still taking a long long time (3 hours) to download only 25 MB.

QUESTIONS

1 ) Does anyone has another good download link for this SVA ROM v2 please? I would prefer a free site to download, since i already paid 10 dollares from this Turbobit site and it failed for me 2 times and it is going now is very slowly.

2) Can anyone confirm that this new SVA Ver 2 let you choose other system languages, such as regular american (US) English and Portuguese?

3) Can anyone confirm that this new SVA Ver 2 Rom will let me add a Portuguese language Samsung Keyboard with a Portuguese dictionary ?

Thank you so much for any answer.

By the way, i installed the App IME Swticher, to be able to release other phone languages hidden from your phone by the carrier, but it did not work... this current ROM looks like it does not have any other languages. It only has English, Korean and Chinese, looks like.

So, i really would like to have a ROM with the original Samsung Keyboard and other Languages from Samsung, like the one that comes on th original Note 3 in europe or in Brazil , that includes a bunch of languages.

Software update after installing custom ROM?

Hi there,

Thank you for all these valuable information on Note3 Duos.

I recently purchased one myself in China, but I don't want to have these not-so-useful Chinese apps.

So I'm thinkng of installing the custom ROM.

Anyways, my concern is whether or not the "Software Update" function will continue to work even after I replace the stock ROM with a custom ROM? I've read thru the threads here and the links in the threads, and it seems that I won't be able to receive any further "Software Update" if I get my bootloader changed to 0x1 by installing a custom ROM.

Anyone knows if this is true?

Thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH SVA for this great ROM

***********************************************************************

SVA thank you so much for your ROM, it is great, i just finished installing the Ver 2.0, and I saw that you have enable for multiple languages and also has the Samsung International keyboard (with multiple languages including Portuguese) as well as Google Keyboard.

You are a genius, I love my Note N9002 with 2 SIMs now. I will start to use more to see if everything is working. Thanks again.

Questions:

1) I have not installed the 2 additional patches you made, one to fix the camera and another one for the Caller ID. In fact, I am confused to how to install these 2 files (patches),

Can you tell us how to install them PLEASE ? I installed them using the CWM Recovery program ? But I am not sure if I did correctly..... sorry, i just want to make sure. I have not be able to test the caller ID yet, but all I did was installed the ZIP file using CWM.

2) I also noticed that you have made a NEWER version 2.1 of your SVA ROM, but I cannot find any link to download it. Can you tell us where is the link please ? These new ROM ver 2.1 already include these 2 patches, correct ? anything else you included in this Ver 2.1 ?

Thank you so much, please send me a link for me to DONATE to you.

With root explorer, for example.

My caller id issue has been fixed finally. Thanks to SVA for great work.

You have to install the patch and than fix system/CSC/other.XML using root browser. Once done than go to settings/applications/all/contact storage and delete data. Reboot the device and re sync your contacts.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jun3636:
Just to share my experience on SVA 2.0 ROM. It is generally good with the following 'bugs':

- caller ID still can't work after following instructions to install the patch and tweak /system/csc/others.xml

- SMS not threaded

- Wifi weak/unstable (may not be due to the ROM)

the one which bugs me most is the caller ID issues.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Hälftebyte:
Sellers tend to have good rating for the quality of their service, not necessarily for the quality of their products.

$13 isn't bad though.. you should have maybe at least 6500mah combined from those three batteries.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:
I agree. Still, you would get a lot of negative feedback, especially concerning batteries. A lot of people have bought that, so I took a chance. I will definitely update this thread once I get them. =-}

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Just ebay. Verified buyers on amazon are actually pretty good.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:
I buy from Amazon a lot also.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I have a suspicion some of the sellers on Amazon get their shady rating count as well. It takes a second to create merchant account on Amazon and list anything already sold in there under the original manufacturer listing. Since I talk to a lot of accessories companies, a number of them complain about people selling fake ones under the same listing (very common with Spigen, UAG, Samsung batteries/headphones/chargers, and others). So you have to be very careful who is the actual seller of the product when you click to buy it. I notice some sell fake stuff, it's clearly listed as seller from China, and they got 100k feedback rating?!?

Personally, I try to look for those who sell with Prime option since it's covered by Amazon and often an OEM part they have in their warehouse.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Hälftebyte:
Ebay can be pretty good if you know how to check feedback. Almost everything I buy is from there (laptop, phone, fresh fruits).

Yes let us know how good they are. I have a $6 glass screen protector coming in a few weeks that I'll post pictures too of so people can compare to the $30 brand name ones. I love comparing generic chinese sold products to the brand name ones. In many cases they are very similar expect one has a fancy badge and price tag

I also got a micro USB to HDMI adapter last night for my Note 2, and one of those 3 in 1 lens kits for it. The lens kit was only $7 with free shipping. I watched several Youtube vids regarding it, and for that price you can recod some pretty amazing footage.

I'll also update you all on those as I get them. =-}

Any update about the quality of the battery, especially compared with original battery? These look like genuine Samsung batteries, but for the price I doubt that. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zeeshanonlyme:
Did you read the power output from the charger? It's too less.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:
I noticed that. Wouldn't they just trickle charge then? I don't know alot about electricity. Just as long as it's not too much power.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zeeshanonlyme:
With wall charger you get ~1600mA which charges device in about 2.5hrs . The output of the one u bought is 1/4th (400 max) of the external charger so it would take 4x times longer than it would have taken with the wall charger(10 hours :eek: ) .

i dont know much about electrical stuff . I hope am wrong :D cuz i have already bought a spare battery and thinking of buying the samsung external charger but 50$ is way too much. Im getting it at 39.9$ but stilll too much :P

Do keep us updated.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:
Well, there are three batteries so I won't need them to charge in a hurry. :p
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kenshin304:

Bought something similar once, the charger works fine. But the batteries expanded to nearly twice there normal thickness in the center so obviously they weren't usable any more
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:
The batteries arrived today. So will update this thread once I have used them for a bit.

The lens kit is pretty sweet. Was only $7 and shipping was free.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zeeshanonlyme:
Do keep us updated on how long it takes the battery to charge to full from zero with that charger.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DelphinusMinor:
Okay, so here is an update.

So far I don't see any issues whatsoever. The batteries appear to charge in the same amount of time they would using any wall charger. They also last as long as the original battery and from what I can tell, these are OEM batteries. There is no difference in appearance from my original.

I have had no issue charging them with my normal wall charger also and have not noticed any additional heat. I monitor the temps with a widget of course and by touch.

Of course it's only been just under six days since I got them. I will update this thread if I do run across any problems.

So far I am very happy with them. :good:

Anyone??? :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scotteb:
It means that the phone is using your providers network, if you were on wireless for example as you know how it normally looks, the network data icon goes away, If you were to send a text or use a program that does not use wifi, it will then use cell data. Maybe you have a rogue app or service running. Have you tried to wipe your cache and dalvik? You could also be connected with wifi but not have internet access through it, thus enabling the network again while wifi is on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I've checked the network connection over and over again, but from what I see, the icon never goes away and its been more than a day, so I'm gonna try wipe cache and dalvik and if not, I might have to do an Odin stock (hopefully not). :rolleyes:
