My issue with the bobcat theme is 2 fold, both personal and I am most likely in the minority...too much heavy theming for my taste (love some, others not as much), and it adds about 100MB from system partition. Other minor issues include the watermark of his moniker on every contact, etc.

These things aside, it's the best out on the international thread...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Two questions:

I'm currently on Freeza's KK tar version which I flashed via Odin (I'm assuming it's odexed since it's stock) I then flashed Phil's CWM and chose the root options within that recovery. OK, so that's my setup. Here are my questions:

1. Can I flash this Deodexed rom with whatever bootloader was included in Freeza's stock KK tar?

2. If I can flash it (deodexed version) would it be safe to flash it over Freeza's stock tar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jelucas30:
I did a re-flash of the rom and I still seem to have the same issues. The reason this is such a concern is because when the phone app gets stuck like that it prevents me from receiving the next call. If someone else calls me the phone will vibrate but the screen won't come on for the caller ID and notification light won't blink. It's like the phone still thinks I'm' in a call, but I'm not.

I even had it today that when I hung up and ended a call the call minute counter in the notification shade kept going as if I never hung up the call. I had to go into application settings and force stop the app to get it to go away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
Have you tried this completely stock no mods no Xposed mods no add on just freshly installed copy of Kit Kat. It's possible a mod or add on is causing a conflict.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I have tested this many times, and I am not experiencing this.

I feel for you, as I use the phone for a lot of calls, and that would be a serious concern for me as well.

You say you did a reflash of the rom. Did you apply any system level mods prior to reflashing? I ask, because a factory reset will often retain themes and the like, whereas reinstalling I would think should have clear those up.

Did this issue present at the time of running stock, or only when going to the DeOdex? If not, then as much as I hate suggesting it, reflashing the tar and rerooting seems to be the best starting point. For me, that's a ton of work, but to have a working phone is worth the work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
i have most weird problem with deodexed nabd rom, after flashing it with factory reset and everything clean from twrp, none of the installed programs can write to internal storage. First noticed it with dropbox claiming storage full or unavailable. when i stated to debug that i found that none of my programs installed from the market can write to internal storage. the built in ones strangely still can do it fine, for example Camera or My Files, but ES file explorer for example can't even create folder on internal storage. I can write there as non-root , normal user from adb shell. Am I going crazy? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Back to the tar file is your best play here. What you've described can be redressed with that start point.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
You mean FLASH unrooted odexed tar? then what? I want deodexed one so i can install hotspot mod
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yes, reflashing stock tar is exactly that to which I'm referring.

I want you on DeOdex as well, but the hotspot mod seems the least of your issues at the moment, if you cannot write to internal storage, then backing up everything internal and external, reflashing stock and rerooting seems the the best card you've got.

You can have recovery and do a backup, reflash the DeOdex rom, apply the platform edit, and nothing else, and from that point you should be able to write to both storage locations.

You'll have your backup to rollback if needed.

Josh will be delivering an Odex hotspot mod soon enough, if by chance you have to remain Odex. There are market hotspot apps that are fairly inexpensive and work on stock, rooted or not.

None of these will help while you remain on a phone that cannot write to internal storage.

Thank you!

Just for the experiment I've done it one more time, twrp-->format everything including system and internal storage-->install dedodexed zip-->boot-->dropbox can't write to storage. I guess something is wrong with that zip file. TWRP does not seem to be able to flash tar files like stock recovery? do i have to ODIN it?

P.S. used odin to restore stock tar and everything is back to normal minus deodexed, plus tons of Sprint crapware and knox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jelucas30:
OMG!!! Where have you been all of my life. That was totally it. I was using an Xposed Mod called Xposed LED Control and I had the phone app selected to use a specific light color. I un-selected it, rebooted and...... Problem solved! I'm totally surprised that's all it was. I've been struggling with this for days now. I wonder why that was interfering like that?

I really appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Good info, and worth noting that layering Xposed modules should be your first point of reference. You'll note that a lot of the finest devs (not all, by any measure) do not support them, as they can cause just the issue and many others such as you've encountered.

Have you tried LED light manager from the play store? It's free, runs great, and doesn't require root.

So bummed that I have to give up on the DeOdex versions of this ROM. I cant get dropbox files to save to my internal storage and HBO Go keeps telling me to insert an SD card. I have tried everything, flashing the .tar stock, rooting, then installing the DeOdex version, tried pushing the platform.xml that fixes storage write issues. Nothing works.

The stock odin file works fine. Was hoping to get some DeOdex action:(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] miguelfp1:
Hey everyone! Hopefully somebody can shed some light on the issue I'm having...

I ODIN'ed the full stock NAB tar file, verified it booted and then installed the Engineering bootloader, no problems up to that point.

The issue surfaces after installing the De-Odexed ('Stockish') NABD, whereupon it constantly freezes, including during the initial setup wizard. I installed after clean wiping my phone, both before and after the ODIN tar flash, and using TWRP to clear the internal SD before flashing.

Should I try the other versions to see if they work? I verified the MD5 of the ROM zip on my phone and it matches the one in the OP, so my initial theory of a bad download went out the window.

Thanks!

Will flashing the odex fix the card issue?

I'm have the same problem and I'm using my original nandroid backup that came with the phone. Its only rooted and updated to 4.4.2

I noticed its not only TB its also dropbox and many others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
It's a known issue that is across every KitKat Note 3 rom out there. Look at the changelog of KnoxRaid for AT&T. One of the first things you'll see is external SD write fix. It's something built into the update by Sammy. Only apps with write permissions can access it, like Google Music.

Try creating a new folder went ES File Manager. If you have the issue, you can't do it. For now, the platform edit is of which I know. If it doesn't work, I know of no other way except waiting until the dev community solves it at the rom level.

Ok so what your saying is that even my nandroid "original" is affected?

Thanks for all your help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
What I'm saying is that many have this issue, the platform edit fixes it for most, and that many people have pointed to articles describing this is intentional by Sammy.

The platform edit can be done in your own, or you can use this file gifted to me by [MENTION=3920408]blackcanopy[/MENTION]...

Unzip the attached, navigate to your system, etc, permissions folder, look for the file called platform.xml, rename it with a bak extension, place the unzipped one in the same locations, fix permissions, reboot. You may want to back up first. Your call.

Bring in some heavy guns, such as root explorer. It's worth the $1 or so. There are many others that will do the job. You can even do this from TWRP's built-in file explorer. Be careful if choosing TWRP, because you'll have to set file ownership from TWRP, and you best know what you are doing...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
"Exactly" meaning this does require being rooted or you want to know too? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
Means you need to be rooted with a custom recovery to flash a modded file. I the only file you can flash with stock recovery is and ota update.zip from Samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
initially I FLASHed deodexed ROM from OP and had a dropbox issue and also any other app from the market not being able to write to internal storage. I gave up and FLASHed stock tar via ODIN and rooted. Dropbox worked but I"ve got a new problem - now Titanium refused to backup to external storage. After some searching I found a workaround that was to add highlighted line below to the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file using Root File explorer

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

The FLASHable zip from above seems to just replace this file. This solved the Titanium external SD problem.

Is this fix also going to fix the problem with internal storage problem in deodexed ROM?

I wish I knew before i went back to stock :)
