I'm pulling this down now and going to throw it on a mirror later since the Sammy links are so unbelievably slow (by design of course).

No matter what I do i still cannot fix my issue with the dang SD card situation. I have flashed the changed files and I have even modified the files on the rom. Still nothing seems to fix my issue.

Well from sprint web site.

Cant wait for internal sd to be figured out im on odin one click n rooted it for now all works great both sd's can watch vine and download mp3s again and donwload on stock browser wonder what changes wen doing the rom.

Whatever happened to the NA4 leak? I remember there was a few that was able to downgrade from NAB to NA4 to MJ4. Is NA4 still available somewhere?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kstephens98:
Engineering bootloader is a separate file. Freeza may have included it in his stockish rom, but it doesn't come with the official nab ota or tar. NABD is the leak.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jelucas30:
Yeah, that worked. But I'm also having a issue where the phone app hangs after ending a call. When I hit end it hangs up the call and goes to the home screen, but the ongoing call icon in the notification shade won't clear. The only way I've found to close it is to force stop it in the app settings. I've never seen this happen before.

I checked through this forum and haven't noticed anyone else mention this. Has anyone else noticed it? The included pictures may paint a clearer picture. This is from a call I recieved last night and It's still sitting there.

Yes sir. I've been running Beanstalk as my DD. I also odin'd the kitkat software prior to flashing any roms, then after rom flash, I odin'd engineering bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jelucas30:
Would that be the SecPhone.apk?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthonicia:
Idk if it will work for you, but I was having all kinds of trouble with the stock kitkat and the NAB roms. Try a factory reset and flashing the NABD deodex. You still have to do the media_rw edit but it works after a reboot. If it doesn't work then just restore to what u have now, worth a try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
Yes it is. Use root explorer overwrite set permissions to match. Reboot.

That's your issue wipe internal. I backup with titanium on a schedule past 4 days every night to a 64gb external never a issue. I cant stress it enough wipe wipe and wipe. I odin the tar and do a factory reset in stock recovery. That's my starting point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jelucas30:
I tried it but it seems to have messed up my phone. I can't access data at all. And looking up the system info it shows that I don't have any Rom info or basband. They both say unknown. Could this be because I'm on the odexed version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
You need factory reset then reflash the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] btvolta:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
See above. It's the nastiest beast to tame, and after about 4 hours of lost time, I just shoved a play store app to launch the dialpad. 90 percent of the phone is ensconced in the contacts app, and the one I showed is native. But launch that dang SecPhone, and contacts stops. Always the last app of a talented themer, and also of a hack.

In sum, if you can live with the aforementioned workaround, PM me and I'll flip it to ya.

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

That beats harvesting apks any day. The problem with all of the International themes, for me at least, is that the dialpad remains white at all times. Even in-call, the keys and background just are nerve quite the same. Please keep us apprised of the theme you get nails the white swaths across the contacts and dialer apps.

Further, when in contacts view, the popup contacts submenu shows dark on dark text for every international vrtheme I've tested. The apks I found really shine on this metric, as it's truly white text on black background.

The international xml files in all of the res folders are just different for the dialer, contacts and mms apps. The US Note 3 devs are working with an entirely different slate.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] samantha123:
I have the same thing any help will be appreciated thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] utbiglall:
OK if you are on mi3... Here's what I found worked. If you are already rooted with TWRP or cwm, try to make a backup as you may be able to restore later and this method wipes your phone. Some have been able to restore data and some haven't. So after the steps below, you can try to restore your data. I haven't had luck with titanium backup restoring apps/data.

1. Find the stock mi3 tar and odin back to stock. There's a thread in Android development. I'm pretty sure this breaks root and puts stock recovery back on the phone

2. Let the phone boot up and go through the initial setup

3. Turn the phone off

4. Boot into stock recovery (volume up home button power) and factory reset

5. Reboot and Install the update from sprint.

6. Root via cf-auto through odin

7. Install twrp through odin

8. Factory reset in recovery

9. Install the odex/deodex of your choice from this thread through recovery

This worked for me and I was able to restore data from my previous backup.

So after flashing this rom and then the radio, it appears as though my device is now unable to make calls or text messages.

I would start from scratch to be honest. Flash stock tar through Odin, then reboot into stock recovery and factory reset/wipe data and re flash stock tar again. Just my opinion.

Updating your PRL in settings should help. Especially if you flashed a radio/modem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
As the recent posters have said, updating your PRL is your first step. This is what I would do first.

If the PRL update doesn't work out; ODIN back to stock like suggested in a previous post.

Unless you're a developer or experienced in modifying the Android System it wouldn't be advised to flash anything that hasn't already been tested extensively... Unless you want to be a tester and acknowledge the risks you're taking with your device.

Make sure to take backups regularly, especially before and after any significant change to the system.

I have, I know [MENTION=3920408]blackcanopy[/MENTION] has, and it does very well.

Please note that the international phone has native inversion, so a lot of the international themes won't look like the pics, and you'll end up with some dark on dark text issues.

The heavy lifting of decompile, xml edits, smali, backsmali, png edits, recompile, &c, will take time, and is being done by the best out there.

Until such time, universal themes that are straight up png swaps will just come out a bit off.

Further, check the theme for any classes dex files, xml files or anything but images, as it may cause force closes.

Finally, I recommend clearing out the vrtheme folder many of these implant into your SD card, as those are the unthemed versions. If you run another theme after restoring a backup, those will get overwritten, so if you like clock package from theme A and calculator from theme B, you'll be able to use both if you copy the contents prior to another flash.

In the interim, the hunt continues...
