Note 4 Android L PIN & Video Camera Issue

So thanks to the post above, using that kernel.zip file allows video recording to work on Note 4 Android L roms, thank you for that, as there is no known fix for the pin issue which is my lock of choice, I went to lockscreen settings, screen lock, and selected NONE, after testing a couple dozen third party lockscreen apps, a good one with no ads, is "Dodol Locker".

It will do lol : )

Hi Geeks of Android ROM for N900W8

I'm looking for a new ROM to get for my GN3 N9000W8 Bell. I currently have 4.4.4 rooted.

Any suggestions?

Is there anyway to flash Tmobile OTA update on N900W8? I'm trying to get the wifi calling feature. The note 3 is currently on 5.0.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] force70:
First no you cannot install Tmo firmware on a Canadian device.

Second, are you using the 900w8 on the Tmo network? If not it wouldn't matter if you by some miracle had the Tmo firmware working on the 900w8 WiFi calling is a Tmo network thing.

Need correct ROM.

Hi,

I saw many forum and see all sorts of ROM but specifically didnt find ROM for N900T.

My intention is to update ROM on N900W8(Canadian WIND) so that i can get LTE in USA on TMobile

Can you please send me link with correct ROM?

Thank you much,

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] force70:
There are tons of of Tmo note roms, look in the Tmo note 3 dev forum.

That said flashing a Tmo based rom wont make any difference in your LTE connection as no rom changes your baseband.

And no you cannot flash a Tmo baseband on a Canadian device. LTE should work out of the box on Tmo especially a wind device as they are aws enabled i believe.as long as your device is unlocked of course.

Hi, i installed X-Note v3 on my Rogers N900W8 Note 3. At first my WiFi & Bluetooth wouldn't turn on, and than i flashed SaberKernel and they still didn't work. Than i flashed a file a user made and posted on one of the pages of Omega Rom and my WiFi started working. But Bluetooth & NFC would turn on but not work. Bluetooth is a must for me (Galaxy Gear + Car Hands-free) So i had to go back to stock. I loved the bloatware-free X-Note rom! The battery life was amazing.

For the past 3-4 days i have been running X-Note rom on my N900W8 Rom with fully working WiFI / Bluetooth / NFC. To get everything working i had to flash a few files after the rom. For a complete set of instructions on how i did it just visit the X-Note rom thread and look for my post its in there. And today i flashed Faux Kernel.

Why i wanted the X-Note so badly was the battery life! The stock rom was very nice, + it was even better once i rooted it and installed Xposed Module,. but the bloatware would sometimes bog it down. Now with the custom ROM + Kernel i got a lightning fast phone that gives be SUPERB battery life! The stock rom would give me 1 full day out of the battery. Now i get 2.5 days.

I was wondering if you could provide me with one more link. Could you tell me where you got the Faux kernel from? I can seem to find it anywhere on the forums.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Hahaa i read up and saw some videos on the matter and it is indeed stright forward. I did not know the .zip files were good to go. I thought you had to unzip them and do some playing around with the files to make it work. Now i know its a simple install file which is bundled to make life easy.

Nevermind. I now understand why newbies like me can not comment on dev forums. I dug a bit more and found it all. Running faux and X-note now works great. wifi and bluetooth fixed and good to go.

Now I do have a question. What can i do with the Faux Kernel that I couldn't normally do with the stock kernel?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therockk:
Ya no worries, glad your liking it. Yes with Faux you can Undervolt the phone. Undervolting allows you to reduce the amount of power each CPU speed uses and you save ALOT of battery this way. Also undervolting reduces the heat produced by the phones CPU. So if your phone frequently gets hot, after undervolting it wont. And with Faux kernel it has tweaked CPU / GPU governors which boost performance and battery (If you dont know what a governor is just google it, as explaining it here will take up a few pages!) + tons more things are improved in a custom kernel. On the Faux kernel page the first link that is provided is the kernels change-log. Just read that too see what it provides.

I hope you are having a good Día de Muertos.

I have taken the plunge with my N900W8 Canadian one but same model. I believe they are identical (correct me if I am wrong).

I have installed Faux Kernel as well as X-Note rom as well as followed his instructions and EVERYTHING works fine. no brickage, haven't had time to reflect on battery improvements however, ( not enough time).

NOW I did find a bug. If you are listening to music with the Flash light mod (where you press up on the volume button when the phone is alseep to iniate the flashlight, great idea, but it crashes the phone espeically listening to music I think there is a conflict with some internal stuff.)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fbhadha:
My phone keeps crashing and rebooting about every 20 minutes without fail. Not sure how to check for the cause. It usually happens if I an on Skype or listening to Internet radio. And only happens if the screen is off for that period. If it's on it works fine but the moment it goes off the count down starts. Not sure why. Been trying everything.

I think I might have something to do with Faux kernel tried the latest saber and it seems to be stable
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therockk:
Did you undervolt the phone? And how much did you undervolt each CPU Speed by? I did -50 mV, if yes than try increasing the voltages. Like i said previously all android phones are different and maybe your phone dosnt like going down that much power. Try increasing it and see if the problem persists. Also did you change any GPU governors? Also, did you do a FULL Wipe data factory reset + format /system?

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

If you undervolt the phone, and switch the governors you will see the battery improvements :o. The CPU governor i used is "Intellidemand", and GPU governor "simple". As for the flashlight issue, in WanamXposed settings (Or other settings) did you enable the "Volume button to switch tracks mod"? That could be whats causing that bug!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbreban:
Really looking forward for a 4.4 rom :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fbhadha:
Actually the flashlight mod had nothing to do with it. I did a but of troubleshooting and it turns out it was Faux all along. I am now using an updated version of saber and everything works fine. Also FYI he added undervolting and OCing as well in the new update just letting you know.

Now everything is stable and working. Only thing it doesn't have is the intelliCPU and thermal but it works and it can actually clock higher.

Quick question though. Is the Wheatley governor good.? I am not familiar with governors I read up on them but the jargon the person used went well over my head. I was just windering what the more obscure and less self defined governors were about.

I will try and Undervolt to 25 and see what happens. Then ramp it down. I guess the worse thing that can happen is rebooting right:P.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok guys,

So, I'm almost there...

Installed the X-note rom, put in the wifi fix and everything is working just as it should (so fare), I could't find the bluetooth fix so i didn't put it in, but the bluetooth actually works! (so who knows)

The NFC still doesn't turn on, but im sure its cuz i haven't installed the Kernel.

My question now is What Kernel do you think i should use, and where can i get it? It's been some time since i installed a Kernel so is it also just installing the zip from recovery or do i use odin? I remember back in the HTC EVO days, there was an app that could do it from the phone, but not sure now hahahaha

Finally, you have no idea how AMAZING it feels to stick it to Carlos Slim and Telcel!!! OMG no joke, i moved to Mexico fromLA and it's ridiculous how bad cell service is here in Mexico (worst than AT&T in LA, and thats saying a lot!). I fly to LA often so i'm so happy i can now just put my local SIM chip when i'm there and not have to pay Insane fees to telcel when roaming... (sorry for the rant, but WOW is it bad here in Mexico in terms of cell service)

Honestly guys, it's not hard to look on either the note 3 development section or the tmobile note 3 dev section....you can basically choose whatever Rom you want now. The Stainless one, it's an international based one modified, I it has a couple files in it you can flash when using tmo or international roms to make the phone an n900w8 again and to ensure the Bluetooth works. Just have a look around all the best stuff is on the first page of both dev sections.

Literally any tmo or 9005 Rom should work now, especially if you flash the Canadian csc file and Bluetooth fix (bt fix only fir international roms I think)

I asked in that thread if you could use the csc for other roms and the dev want sure, I've used it on about 6 or 7 more, tmo and international. The only other thing I suggest is having a copy of sabre kernel or compulsion kennel and flash that. What I do is install the Rom and let it restart the phone but on that first restart I go right back into recovery and flash one if those kernels. My preference lately had been sabre input because I'm running Jedi and I love ptmr3's work. Great dev and his stuff is completely stable.
