re: AT&T or VZW

My 2 cents: It really depends on coverage. If you get a signal with VZW and not with AT&T, your problem is solved, and vice versa. If you live in a rural area and get a weak signal, there are boosters (I have used a Wilson Yagi antenna with 4G Sleek cradle and gone from 0 to 5 bars...but the cradle limits mobility. It comes in versions for VZW or AT&T but not both). VZW offers 6Gb data for $50 while AT&T gives you 5Gb. However, AT&T gives access to WIFI hotspots, and may give you more options if you travel overseas. As for the GN3 - I'm eagerly awaiting mine - on AT&T, after 15 years a Verizon customer. Both versions look like they will be more difficult to mod than other phones (which is why some people are buying a T-Mobile version and moving to AT&T). I had no issues with Verizon in the 15 years I was with them, and am only buying the AT&T GN3 to find out if coverage on their network is better here than VZW; if not I'll return it and probably cease using cellular coverage for internet access and go with Excede - I live in a rural area, too, and have to climb a hill to use voice. Radio Shack rep told me Wilson is coming out with a signal booster "in a couple months" that will not tie you to a cradle. I get my phone tomorrow, and am anxious to find out how the radio on the Note 3 compares to my Droid Razr. Good luck!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kat3k:
Thanks very much for the helpful response. Both carriers are neck and neck reception-wise, with VZ probably slightly better. I have used Sprint's femtocell and was considering the counterpart for whichever carrier I go with, as it's been my understanding my signal is not adequate for a booster, but hooking up to DSL does work great. I have looked at a Wilson model booster before, and might give that another look after hearing from you. I don't know much about that option. In any case, I'm going with Costco for carrier and phone, and am going to try to hold off for Black Friday, just in case, but might not make it, especially if my N2 gets sold first. Thanks again.

amplification & mini cell tower

for voice, texting and 3g in a poor coverage area Verizon offers a free or low cost mini cell tower that runs off of an ethernet connect to the internet. when synched you have your own mini cell tower in the house

my situation was odd: i had very good cell and data. then verizon re-did their antenna system and my neighborhood got horrible reception and data. after about 6 weeks of my calling a few times per week and insisting on level 2 techies,

a supervisor approved selling me a refurbed mini tower for $100. or cancelling my contract. i took the tower and that ended my problems for voice, texing and slow internet at home. i have fast interent with good wifi converage all around my house and property.

months later they fixed the antenna problem. my service is not great--like it was 18 months ago, but good. i still use the mini tower and am very pleased. $100 well spent.

you way want to make inquiries before they sign you up. customer service supervisors at verison are generally pretty good.

4g or LTE if you have any signal at all, there is a 4 lte amplifier available for about $250. zBoost SOHO DataBlast 4G Data Booster Kit for Verizon LTE

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UNGTCQ/ref=gno_cart_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

If you are in a rural area, sometimes there are choices, none of which are great i have no idea what is available with at&t to augment their signals.

i live in a suburb very close to downtown just outside the city limits of miami. when my home area was having problems, 2 miles away at my office, i was down loading generally at over 20mgs. today my office is the same. at home my down load sppeds vary from sometimes mid-teens to 3 to 5 mgs lower end. during the few problematic months, i could not stream video on my cell without wifi at home.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kat3k:
Thanks for the Amazon link, but I don't have enough of a signal to use a booster. I'll have to go with the femtocell once I know my carrier. If not for that, I would have gone long ago to Straight Talk, but no reception aids for them that I know of (unless you piggyback on an ATT acct, but once the ATT acct is gone, so are you). The reception maps at Sensorly.com swayed my decision from ATT to VZ. It's just pretty hard to come out ahead, with any kind of savings, especially if you like to get new phones very often. I always think I love this phone so much, I will never want another, but then I do.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cpthomas1:
I recently sidelined my Galaxy Note 2 for a Galaxy S4 and I'm running into a stability issue with the TWRP and CWM recoveries. It seems no matter what rom I use, Stock or Custom, AOSP or TouchWiz, once I flash a custom recovery and then install any custom rom - I can no longer access the custom recovery unless I reinstall it. In short every new rom I flash requires me to reflash, or install, the custom recovery again in order to access it. "Now I didn't go to math school, so I'm not going to do the math," but this wasn't an issue on the Galaxy Note 2 - so I 'm wondering if I may have missed something when I initially rooted the S4, or if there is some other issue I've overlooked. If anyone has any suggestions please speak up - I would be forever grateful for the help!

I'm MDA Compact user from 06. 2005, and I've noticed that green dial button does not work always. After soft-reset dial button work again, but... that's slow way (about 90 seconds slow ;o) to fix this problem. Any faster solution?

Hey man, I was having a similar idea to this. Would I be able to make my own ROM backup with my own base/mods?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
I need more details to work with. What app are you trying to move? Does it give you an error, or you can't select the "move 2 sdcard" tab?

Remember, not all downloaded apps can be moved.

Why wouldn't you ;)

Just make sure it's boot-able after a factory reset and everything is working properly.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Ilxaot:
Alright thanks! I just wanted to make sure. I've always had the idea of a "Galactic ROM" feel for one of these. I think I'll make it tonight(: How do I upload it? Just package in a compressed format and upload, then tell them to use restore function?

Please take the time to read the recent changes I've made to my second post. Labeled "Questions"
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
I hope you read this first Questions & Knowledge

okay, now that you've read that.

You need to move everything inside your "SD card" into your "Internal SD". The easiest way to do this AND SAFTEST:

1. Make 2 new folders on you Windows Desktop. probably be best to name them internal & external

2. Reboot your phone (but don't have it connect to your computer yet)

3. Connect your phone (after it's been fully booted and operational for 30 seconds) in MTP mode

4. Open the Internal storage (partition size should be 29.7gb), and copy everything into one of the new folders.

5. Then do the same for your SD card (the sd card should say it's 1.8gb in size) and copy everything into the other new folder, on your Desktop.

5. Hold on to both folders until you know all of your picture and stuff are good.

6. Open up the new folder that you saved "external" and copy the Android folder into the other folder "internal" (or whichever Android folder is the biggest, should be the "external" folder).

7. Open up the "SD card" (1.8gb partition on your phone) and delete everything from that folder.

8. Open the "internal" folder and copy everything into the "Internal storage".

9. Check your other stuff (folders on desktop) and see what else you want to put into the "Internal storage".

10. Reboot into cwm and wipe "cache partiton" & "dalvik cache" (located in advance tab).

11. Reboot

If you still have storage problems it's because you have too many apps. If you really need the extra space you will need to partition your "micro sd" and setup Link2sd, but I don't recommend it. You might run into problem in the long run and some apps don't work when moved.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] pitbullmommy45245:
that worked..thanks! but i'm still getting the camera issue. when i go to take a pic it acts like it takes it but it doesn't it when i go to see the pic it shows a broken pic icon.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
I made some changes to my second post when I replied to you but anyway just set camera and video to save to internal storage. Your pics are not lost. They just don't have the correct permission. If you reboot, you will find them /storage/external_SD (data/media) take them out of there and place them /sdcard/ (storage/sdcard0). Remember don't save anything in data/media (when you using my swap script). I only have one issue at boot with the swap script. The problem is with SwiftKey, I have to load the language pack at every reboot, other than that all is good (for me at least, lol).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Oh and if you have duplicate issues go into app setting and clear data for that app. It's a lot to know but it's worth it IMO for the price of the phone. Lol, as you can see I've done a lot of studying with this phone.

Dang I just remembered something else, you may find two pics in external & internal with the same name but one of them will be a fake (no data) That shouldn't happen with the changes I made to the script. It mostly deals with the swap script displaying the same size. I don't have those type of issues any more.

It might be best to backup all your user apps with titanium backup (make sure it's saving to your micro SD) and then perform a hard reset, starting off fresh. Afterwards just restore your apps.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Sorry bud do you still need help with this. A couple of possible problems are

1. Corrupt images

2. You placed a file inside the cwm backup folder, that will cause a md5 mismatch.

3. The folder isn't placed proper. Must be /clockworkmod/backup/kuma82/(my images & stuff only)

Okay you will need "hash droid" app & "rom toolbox lite" or jota (I will use toolbox lite for this example.

1. Open rom toolbox lite and use the root browser, go to the location of my cwm backup, like so

Hold down on nandroid.md5 file then select to open as text. Note don't change anything thing in that file.

Repeat the process for each file.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] pitbullmommy45245:
ya i tried that. it still won't let me take a pic. like it lets me it just doesn't save i guess.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
So you went inside the camera app pressed settings - Storage - Internal memory? Are you using the LG camera app?

Type the following in terminal emulator app

su
chmod - R 777 /data/media

That command will give the pictures in DCIM folder the correct permissions. If you already moved them into your micro SD (Internal Storage), type

su
chmod - R 777 /sdcard

Note r must be cap R

I'm still trying to solve why it does that with the camera app.

The best thing to do is don't save.... , you get the picture right, lol.

Sorry but I'm not the type of person to just give something and be like here just press this and that's it. I want people to learn and understand what they are doing. This is a developer's site ;), don't get me wrong though, by all means ask questions :D

Kuma bro, I actually have my bootloader unlocked and still decided to try this.

This rom is pretty damn good and the fact that it works on a locked bootloader makes it better.

2 minor annoyances I've noticed though is it doesn't remember my custom ringtones after reboot (even with my mp3 in the ringtones folder) and the other is I'm seeing an unfamiliar phone# when I go to settings > phone > voice mail number (not using the rom atm so I think that's where it's at)

Once we get all the issues sorted out I might start using this full time. =)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Unless I can come up with another way to swap the internal & external, I can't do anything about the ringtone problem.

UPDATE:

On my latest work the custom ringtones are sticking after a reboot.

The system needed the default music app for it to work properly.

I still prefer pushing the custom ringtones I want into the system partition

/system/media/audio/ringtones/

I have tested obb, m4a & mp3 files and they all work flawlessly :thumbup:

Now about that funky number in your voicemail settings, if I'm not mistaken that is the default number provided by the carrier. I don't have any issues with voicemail. Just so you know the number in this pic isn't my number as well.

That's what had stumped me, I wasn't sure. I reverted to previous backup and it was still ridiculously hot, so I factory reset and restored my apps with TB, and only then did it start to charge (I also used a different USB), so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:

Kuma,

Thanks for all the work you've done on this phone. I just got this phone for Christmas as a present from the wife and want to start exploring the possibilities it has to offer. So far:

-Rooted

-Installed CWM

-Created a Backup (always, but just in case)

Now I want to use your Themed Rom for the locked BL I have. When I turned the phone on, I was prompted to update to the 10e immediately. Do you have a flashable zip of your rom yet? I tried using the .7z file but CWM doesn't see it at all. I am going to try the old method with flashing your recovery from the files within the .7z file you just recently uploaded for the 10e update.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Sorry I haven't made a flashable zip of 10e yet.

You need to extract the folder inside the the 7z. My second post has instructions on how to install the ROM using the cwm backup method. It called the old method.

The major thing is having the folder in the right place.

I'll hopefully have a flashable zip version this weekend.
