[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrid:
Good day,

I have unpleasant problem at my I9190. Every 5-7 minutes my device becomes to lag for 4-5 seconds. It doesn't matter if you watch a film or Youtube, play games, or just work with the interface. Every time periodically an image becomes to lag, but sound continues to work without problem. I tried to make wipes but it doesn't help. Also I tried to reinstall stock rom. Can somebody describe what is the reason of it? Root or what?

My previous I9190 (was changed because of the problems with screen) works without these glitches.

Appreciate if you will help me, these lags are really annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
Sounds like some hardware is causing those intermittent freezes. If you are certain reverting to stock everything and flashing in custom ROM + kernel still causes the issue then you might need to send the device in again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrid:
I tried to flash CyanogenMod for interest and lags dissapear. After returning to stock they appeared again. Can't understand the reason, really. I tried to use smartphone with and without sim, with and without external card, with and without root, the result is the same. The only thing I can think that one of stock apps or processes makes these problems but who knows..

Hello everyone

wish u having a great day

I am coming from a note device so I am more used to 5*5 in the launcher and I love to stick to touch wiz

can anyone help me?

Thanks

Just install nova prime launcher.best available option for android phones.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: Touchwiz 5x5 launcher

Here you go.... Touchwiz 5x5 Launcher

Installation:

You will need a root capable file manager like "root explorer" to install this.

Temporarily install another launcher while doing this

Unzip the file and copy it over to the internal sdcard

Rename the stock SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher3.ap_ (just as a backup).

Copy the new SecLauncher3.apk to the /system/app directory.

Reboot

Set default back to TouchWiz Launcher

Good luck!

Enjoy!

Here is the download link:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
So I live in Romania, and I have I8190 (international unlocked non-nfc model) and I have xxamd3 since I got it in July... Problem is, software update (even kies) say I have the latest version, however, the latest version for "Romania" (without any carrier) and Vodafone România (my Carrier) were released in September...

I know I can easily flash with Odin, but why am I getting no update by kies or software update?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
Nevermind, I got it carrier-free from eMAG, and it apparently has the COA version (cosmote), which is pretty much the only one who didn't get the amg4 update

My question is, what happens if I flash the Romanian version for no carrier? (this might also fix some connection issues, since I am on Vodafone)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aavvaallooss:
No problem. I am from Spain and I use a rooted ROM from Germany without problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
Yeah, I researched a bit, and I found that the ROM or the CNX (Vodafone ro) cdc were not in my system (/system/cdc), guess I'll just wait for the update from cosmote, I unrooted my phone for warranty, and I don't want to lose it
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] capellone85:
how can i move voice files from /tomtom/data13.chk to storage card? What is the command for registry? thx!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
Just search the regirstry key for "Tomtom" and make change to the path.

They are probably under HKLM\Software\Apps\Tomtom Voice ****
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] arp:
Move Tomtom Voice to SD card

I have same problem!

Have folder Navigator (with program .exe at SD) and at \tomtom folder the Voice files.

On my PPC don't exist that registry entry...

Someone can help?

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dingo:
I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but TomTom 5 will read voice files from a folder named "Voices" on the root of your SD card.

I just put my voice files in there and it finds them fine.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] arp:
Tomtom voice location files

Hi Dingo,

No, my Tomtom 5 have a folder at \mydocuments\tomtom that have voice files inside!

The instalation program make this folder at this location!

What I want is move this location to SD card to free RAM memory on my XDAmini. At registry I can't locate an entry to move this location... this is my problem.

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dingo:
Ok i see. I do not have any voice files there. I did not install any when i installed Tom Tom 5.

Instead i just copied my voice files to the "Voices" directory on my SD Card.

You should not need to change the registry as TT5 will always look for voice files in the Voices directory on the memory card first.

Have you tied making a "Voices" directory on your memory card and just moving the voice files to it ? This should work.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
It's weird how TT behaves differently on our Magicians. The 'Voices' thing didn't work for me either, but I found out something else...

Try creating a folder on your SD card and call it Tomtom. Now move your voice files AND the files from the /program files/Navigator there. That's it! No changing the registry or whatever. Just create a link to the new location of the .exe and you are rolling! :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dingo:
Ahh i forgot the Tomtom dir. I have to have a dir called Tomtom also on the SD. Although i just leave this empty. This was originally to allow me to have full UK postcode search. So i already had that when i put my Voices in the Voices DIR.

If it works putting your voices in there then i would do that as it will save and extra DIR.

This has been replaced by Universal Root de la Vega!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] designgears:
Question & Answer

"Root de la Vega" What kind of name is that?

It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.

Can you help me with the drivers?

No, but you can head over here for help with drivers.

How do I get into download mode?

Method 1: adb reboot download

Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.

How was this root method accomplished?

By hex editing the system image to call a script on the sdcard as root.

Will rooting or downgrading or flashing stock trip the Knox flags?

No, KNOX flags will not be tripped!

Will root survive a factory reset?

Yes, it does.

Do I need have to fully wipe my phone when rooting?

Yes. If you don't you will get lots of nasty force closes. I have yet to find a way around it.

Does Xposed Framework work on a rooted Note 3?

Yes, it has been updated to work fully with the Note 3.

Will rooting report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?

Yes. It can be removed by installing Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed and enabling Security hacks > Fake system status.

Titanium Backup is giving me problems, how can I fix it?

Check out this thread. If you are still having issues, please take your concerns to the dev, they are not related to rooting.

How do I open a 7z file?

With 7zip!

Can I do this on OS X/Linux?

No, not until heimdall is updated to support the Note 3.

Can I unroot?

Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.

How do I flash stock?

Check out this thread.

I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?

From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.

Checksum

Downloaded root files from the OP and Mega for the 6th time today. Extracted with 7zip. Did not change the md5 file name. Still NO GO on getting matching checksum numbers. I have been using Chrome browser to download.

I will try again with IE. ****Edit: Can't use IE, doesn't play nice with Mega. Trying with Firefox*****

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] leijonasisu:
I don't get it..

So what your Knox is still 0x0 but Samdung can still see that your firmware is 'custom' meaning that you obviously did modify your device.

It basically just means you can still use the Knox Locker and etc...

Sure it's an improvement but Samsung aren't idiots.

If you could show 'official' and '0x0' I would tip you one hell of a tip. But at this point it does nothing for those of us who are worried about our warranties.

Still good to see some progress I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dukins:
Hmm mine says official and 0x0 rooted as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] carlz28:
Flash back to the stock ODIN before you send in a warranty phone. You should do that anyway.

Problem solved.

And yes, you can flash back to the stock unrooted Odin. I did it. All was good. Re rooted now. No issues.

All is well with this. Quick question: I performed this and got root. Experimented with DPI and now stuck at Samsung splash screen. Can I just run the 1st part and still have root? Or do I need to do the whole process again like dumping the root files to the sdcard, restarting,etc.?

Hi.. what about in Download Mode?

I think is what the OP is talking about.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gerg004:
In the video posted a few pages back going through all the steps, in Odin his filename is "test.tar.md5"... mine is the full Root_de_la_Vega.tar.md5. Does this make any kind of difference? My md5 matches that of the OP. Want to make sure before I continue in Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] repsol_23:
I rooted as well yet mine says custom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cjcarter1254:
I don't know for sure, but he may have made the video before the link was fixed with this issue. Originally the file name needed to be changed, but that was later fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gerg004:
Thanks, I went ahead and started. Odin is doing its thing. Everything checked out fine and it says that's the filename in the OP so I'm rocking and rolling. Thanks for the help.

Edit: It's a GO. Have Root! Thanks so much from everyone here!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] carlz28:
You can fix it by installing the xposed framework and using one of the modules...wanam I believe. It changes the "Custom" back to official and also gets rid of the unlocked icon on the initial boot screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] rh535:
What was your md5 checksum on that file?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] hahahi123:
hi. i wasn't sure if to created a thread about this but i am having another issue. i thought maybe it was because phone wasn't rooted at first some of my files wouldn't transfer but even after rooting my device, i still can transfer some game data for example. is there something the note 3 is missing that prevents some files from being copied?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] razvu:
I had the right MD5 checksum, however in the device status it says "Custom" and when I boot there is the unlock sign and it says custom again...Root works, however. Any idea how to fix this?
