[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
Just flashed it - didnt help. I'm hoping the OP or some devs can weigh in here. Also, would you be able to give me some links, where it is described as a known issue, so I could do some digging? My own searches for a fix didnt yield any productive results :( I'll try to collect some system logs from logcat and kernel, which capture these installation attempts that fail with parsing errors

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

You're entitled to an opinion. I, however, don't think my post was misleading at all. The only reason I mentioned how much work it is to do a full wipe is because it was suggested to me as a fix to a problem. It doesn't seem logical to infer that a full wipe wasn't done before flashing the rom for the first time, just because of my refusal to try it as a fix.

As far as your comment about not needing to point out a mistake - I think by not pointing it out it would have left the wrong impression that I acted like a newbie, and didnt properly flash a new rom, which would not only present me in a bad light I don't deserve to be, but also be counter productive in my attempts to fix this because others, who might try to help would be mislead by incorrect picture of what's going on with my phone. Therefore, let me counter your "advice" what I should or should not point out with one my own: If you don't have a helpful suggestion or anything productive to say and the sole purpose of your post is bickering - please refrain from posting. Trust me - it's a good advice, and it's been given by forum moderators to users, who made posts like yours, on many occasions :)

google dialer

Is there any chance of a working ported google dialer for kitkat? I love the caller id feature and like to stick with wicked!

BTW, Awesome ROM!

Lol Looks like you should take your own advice there. The first thing my post did was ask you a question. Good luck to you and your problems.

If your using xposed framework give the module in the pic below a try. I appoligize if im misleading you as I am not an expert by any means on this, just figured I would let you know what worked for me in a similar situation. GL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
I gave it a go - no luck. Based on the nature of the error, it seems like the issue is not with sdcard or internal memory access permissions, but rather with the KitKat installer - it seems to not like how these local apk's are either packaged, or signed. I'm leaning more towards signature issues, because the ones from Google Play Store install just fine. Only my speculation of course. I could be wrong and I havent had a chance to collect & troubleshoot the system logs yet. Still hoping a developer can weigh in and save me some time :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
I tried Google Drive suggestion from here and it worked. It's a pretty lame workaround, to have to do this every time you need to install an .apk, so I'm hoping someone can weigh in WTF is going on?!

I suspect [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] may have covered the topic here, but I'm still not sure how to use that info to permanently fix the rom on my phone.

EDIT: Also, copying the apks I want to install to internal storage and running the installation from there works as well. It's only attempting to run them from SD card results in these parsing errors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] QuickInfo:
MAN I LOVE YOU!!! This worked perfectly!

I wonder why this ROM had this issue... the other TW Roms seemed to write to internal fine. But it donesn't matter, this ROM is just WICKED ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
bromance aside, can anyone suggest an alternative way to realign partitions, either manually or via script? Don't like the painful idea of going back to stock and then having to reinstall and reconfigure everything from scratch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
I don't know another way unfortunately, just make sure you follow directions carefully and get back to wicked asap lol. I've done it twice so far and not too time consuming. Mostly setting backup after root takes about 20 minutes

Terrible battery drain

So I switch from v5 to v6 KK and am have major battery drain issues.

A few things i noticed:

-Bluetooth is now staying awake when connected to my car (never used to in V5, car is 2014 santa fe)

-android system/OS are my top battery drivers.

Any ideas what to look for? Google + and search are disabled as well, and nothing has changed in terms of settings and apps from v5 to v6

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
Do you have the visible to devices checked off while bluetooth is on? I don't get too much drain when connected to my truck. If you just flashed the rom give it at least 2-3 days to settle in. You can also try better battery stats to see if you have an app draining your battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] QuickInfo:
It didn't take too long, maybe 30 min to get everything back.

Do I have to do this every time if I switch to another ROM and want to come back to Wicked?

Anyone know how to get rid of the TW lockscreen notification widget - the one you get when you get a new text message. I want to be able to use Dashclock and whenever I get a new textmessage, the TW widget just comes in and makes dashclock useless. I've searched and haven't found a solution yet that still allows me to use dashclock. Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chrisa887:
In settings under lockscreen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kCelsius:
Can't find that setting... Not sure if we're talking about the same thing... Here's the widget I'm talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gonnapushthru06:
Did u go to setting in ur text messages
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kCelsius:
I unchecked that last option and it still does it...only difference is that it doesn't say the senders name and message...it just says Messages and then New message...widget still there. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gonnapushthru06:
U have to uncheck notifications and then give it a try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kCelsius:
I guess that's the tradeoff....gone is the widget but then no way to get vibrate, sound, and screen on anymore. Guess I'll have to live with the widget for now until there a workaround to get just the widget out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gonnapushthru06:
Yea unless u get another messaging and enable notifactions it's just stock messaging is made to pop up on home screen and have tired to removed the home lockscreen widget by pulling down the widget and the log press and drag to trash

edit. Nvm removing the lockscreen widget don't work just get a different messaging app should work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kCelsius:
I removed the widget already - so dashclock will show when there isn't a unread message. But, when there is an unread message, the widget takes the place of dashclock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gonnapushthru06:
Yea I just tried it too best thing would be disable notifactions from stock messaging app and get another one and enable notifactions on that one and dash should work so u can have vibrate and top notifaction just tried go sms worked man give that a try

Only if you flash a non TouchWiz rom aka AOSP. Something about the new kitkat, it messes up the partition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] QuickInfo:
I just find it really weird how it only impacts this beast :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ultravorx:
The visible to paired devices is off, But i just noticed it this morning after flashing v6. BBS doesnt show any apps draining the battery either. ITs very odd.

Usually at work, with no service, im at 92% at 12pm. Its only 10:30 and im at 90%. no change to use or programs either. Im really stumped.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
If you just flashed this morning I'd give it 2 days to settle in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
well this certainly sucked! I went back to T-Mo stock rom and recovery, did factory reset. Verified in T-Mo rom installing from SD card works fine. Then I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 + WICKED - and it's broken again - getting same parse errors. Several hours down the drain :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cytonic:
When do you get these errors?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
When you go back to stock did you factory reset on the factory recovery? Be sure the rom and other info is on your external cause it will delete everything on your internal and fix the write probz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mega Montana:
Has anyone tried this app out?

Good find, worth a try to anyone with the problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
:

Yessir, I did - factory reset using stock recovery. This ain't my first or tenth rom, or flash attempt - I'm aware of the data preserving issues :)

I've burned considerable portion of my work day trying to figure this out - will share the findings when i get home
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
Apparently, you don't have to go back to stock T-mo rom and stock recovery, in order to do hard reset to fix partition alignment or whatever is broken. I tried hard reset from TWRP and already had WICKED and it fixed SD card issues.

I'm having other issues, most likely related to Google's lame decision to block 3rd party app installations, which didntt come from Play Store or carrier. Still looking into that

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tomasitoc:
Hello,

I am on wicked V5 since its release. No problems at all.

I want to try flashing this KK version.

Do I just flash this. The OP stated about having the 4.4 bootloader. How do I check if I have the 4.4 bootloader?

thank you in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
If you are on v5 and did not update to official 4.4.2 firmware then you don't have 4.4 bootloader. Follow directions in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2672393 and you will be ready to flash this beast. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
Sadly, no. It morphed into other issues. I'm able to install apks from sdcard now, but none of the Aptoide installations work and a lot of programs, like CBS Sports, theScore and many others, which used to work fine on 4.3 roms don't work anymore - they just freeze and hang on blank black screen after opening. Eventually I get a pop-up about the app not responding, offering me to wait or close.

I'm tired, pissed, frustrated and lack many sleep hours because of this. I wish I could go back to 4.3 bootloader and restore nandroid of my 4.3 rom, which was flawless, fast and had absolutely no issues. If I had a choice I'd stick with JB until Google sorts out the mess they made in KK.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
First I've heard that returning to stock didn't fix the issue and all the problems you're having I haven't seen anyone else replicating them. Good luck though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evil1art:
Check out my new Zooper widget on the playstore

Its just like my transparent weather widget but for all launchers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SBERG117:
Just installed CBS sports app from playstore...works fine...

Are you downloading these apps you speak of from the playstore or trying to restore from a backup file of some sort?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
From playstore...I'm giving it one more shot, this time using mobile odin pro. If it doesnt work I'm gonna start looking for ways to downgrade bootloader and go back to my 4.3 nandroid
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
Restoring any data from titanium?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SBERG117:
Have you tried a different micro sd card?

Maybe possibly the one your using is going bad.. I had it happen to me a few times....

I've been reading the posts and such and can't understand why your having the issues your having if your doing all procedures properly...

Only thing I can think of at this point is SD card going bad....

If you've already upgraded to 4.4 bootloader you don't have to keep using odin...

Maybe try to just download a fresh copy of wicked, place on ext sd, wipe as usual a few times and reflash...Dont make any modifications after that, just leave the rom as is and try doing some of the things you're doing and see what happens....Believe me I'm not trying to tell you what or how to do something, I'm sure you're well aware of these things..Just throwing suggestions out there for ya is all....good luck...:good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mega Montana:
Has anyone tried not logging in to Google after flashing and restoring apps before doing so to see if it makes any difference. Just guessing on possible solutions from some quick searching.

Or another possibility but tedious, upload non market apps to Google Drive and restore from there. Not exactly sure why that would matter but saw people having success with that after getting similar errors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] knasmall:
I have been reading these forums for years now and flashing for the last 5 years (galaxy s i9000) now on the note 3. I don't understand the reasoning for having all these problems restoring apps. I don't use titanium backup - i use app list backup. Before i flash a new ROM i backup the list of the apps i have been using on app list backup. I flash a new ROM and when i enter my google account info everything is re-downloaded on to my phone. Yes i have to sometimes set the apps up again but that only takes seconds to do. Could the problem be that people are not using google to back up their phones? I am not in any way trying to say that certain people are stupid, but if you do a complete wipe every time your chances of having problems are certainly reduced. It takes me about 10 minutes to restore all my apps (around 300) and it's all done automatically as soon as i sign into my google account. For sure you should have a wifi connection for this!! i just leave it alone and in 10 minutes its good to go - I sign into the apps that need it and i'm off to the races. Not trying to diss anyone just trying to undertand why people have so many problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] raw2000j:
What kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
Not titanium. Using Room Toolbox Pro, which has built in backup utilities. It's the same developer though - [MENTION=582585]jru[/MENTION]mmy19 so shouldn't be any different. The problems occur before restoring though, so it's not related. I've also been very careful what i'm restoring and didn't restore any apps that might have any kind of impact on partitions table or system settings

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

the one, that comes with this rom and I've also tried Compulsion 11 - it's in my signature
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steve97ta:
Stumped me buddy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] raw2000j:
Strange have u tried lean kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
The fact, that same problems occur with 2 different kernels leads me to believe it's not a kernel issue. I will keep that kernel in mind though, thanks for the tip. Trying some different things now.

I wish there was a way to realign partitions via script or an app, or at least an app to show alignment status, so I could see where the problem is. Stock recovery seems to be the only tool, capable of fixing partitions - I hope some developer borrows that procedure from KK recovery source and makes an app for it, or TWRP team incorporates that method into their next version, so custom recovery could align partitions as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] akapaul26:
The option to align partitions via Odin has worked imo 100% of the time therefore you might at this point contact tmobile to see if you have a hardware issue. Obviously you tried everything else.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
I got a few more things to try, before I run crying to my carrier. One of them is flashing stock rom via odin with re-partition option enabled. For that however, I need the .PIT file for N900T, and I can't find one. I tried the pit file for N9005 from here because I made a fairly reasonable assumption the partition table should be the same between N9005 and N900T versions, since its the exact same hardware and same KK OS, but it didnt work.

If I can't fix this for WICKED, one of the earlier posts said that people discovered other KK roms don't have this problem, so I was going to try that as well.

Also, I don't know if it's any clue, but Mobile Odin Pro 4.10, which supports N900T, according to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] fails to detect my phone as supported phone, so I asked about it in Mobile Odin thread

I can't set up the pattern lock with this rom, it says "pattern turned off by administrator....," and I don't have any device administrators and no VPNs. I also did a full wipe for system/internal storage/cache and a factory reset. Is any one else having this problem ???

The pattern lock is a big deal for me, I am torn because this is a solid Rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
1. Settings->General->Security->Device Administrators make sure you dont have any.

2. SuperSU->Settings->Enable multi-user make sure its NOT checked. Also set SuperSU to Grant instead of default Prompt and check blocked apps list

3. Check if you have any apps that prevent screen lock or disable display timeout

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Well....I fixed it. The answer to your next question is "I don't know", LOL. I've been doing nandroid backups before every somewhat significant round of installations and setings changes, in hope once it craps out I'll be able to just load latest nandroid and isolate the problem. After that the next logical step would be to find the developer of the responsible app, cut the tires on his car and order 50 pizzas to be delivered to his home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sharl1987:
I already checked all of this, the only trhing is that I have "Android Device Manager" as an administrator, but I have it UNchecked. Still it's not working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
this may seem like a dumb question, but sometimes complicated problems have easy solutions: have you tried a different pattern, or always the same one? I'm speculating some patterns might be disabled on purpose for security reasons, because they are too simple. You know, like you cant select consecutive numbers like 1234 for pin code. A good way to check if it's WICKED issue or not is to flash stock rom via odin and try there. Nandroid first, of course
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xsvari0us:

Just a tip, there's a little box in the top right corner, says "Search this thread" that saves you from needing to read 300+ pages, but also keeps you from breaking rule #1 "Search before you post" I'm almost positive you'll find several replies to this question multiple times over in this thread.
