[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krynj:
Nice tip. In all my years of Android tweaking, I've never come across that one. I don't need fancy screen on/off animations. I prefer quicker response time. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
This phone is fast enough to where you should be able to do screen on animation with no lag. I'd try wiping cache before disabling anything
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XzxBATTxzX:
noticed too

I have noticed this too... bugs the hell out of me. i tried putting animations to .5 cause i think it makes the phone look like crap when set to 0, helped a little bit but it is still there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
I noticed this last night. I was missing the swipe to unlock because it was taking so long. Seems ok now, though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
I found a slightly faster response with the three animation options set to 0.

I think its a touchwiz thing my s4 did it stock and it went away with Hyperdrive rom but it came back when I was on cynanogen mod. I feel like my I wore out my power button lol it is a little loose.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlz28:
Its a Samsung thing with the processor. The Note 2 was the same way. The easiest way explained to me awhile back....once your screen goes off...and all stuff running finishes up...you essentially enter Deep Sleep. It's a battery saving feature...if you will.

Manually turn off your screen, then like..2 seconds later, turn it back on. Should be virtually instant. Now do the same thing but wait 2 minutes....lag.

It is 'kind of' annoying, but I'll deal with it for the sake of battery life.

Now that we have root, you can always try to adjust governors and kernel settings to help it, but until we're able to use other kernels, it's gonna pretty much always be there, the lag, that is.

Hope that helps explain a bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleevasteve:
The only way around it on the Note 2 was to force a wake lock, basically it never enters deep sleep. You may be able to use an app to do it as well, such as: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl

MikeyXDA was an advocate of the method and explained it really well on his MeanBean ROM for the Verizon Note 2. You just take a slight hit to battery, but at least there's no wake lag.

Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=543135
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Storm T:
I have absolutely no wake lag on mine at all. I was expecting it like my Note 2 but I hit the button now and it's just on instantly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heat mizer:
Wake lag with sd card

I'm having a problem with wake lag bad sometimes - several seconds. Mine seems to be connected to the sd card. I have a 32 gb card I used in my note 2 with no problem, it's and sdhc i think. I cleaned it down to 8g of stuff on it and put it in. It kept causing note 3 to dis mount the card each time I turned it on; had a little message at the top left. Much of the time the card would stay dismounted. When I finished a call the screen would not come back on for a long time, couldn't end the call. Took the sd card out, problem resolved. Backed up the sd card, put it in the N3 and formatted. Got better results although still doing it some. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to get a new sd card or trade in for a new note 3.

Any thoughts. I would check the sd card if you still see long lags.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmike6453:
Try to freeze/remove S Voice if you rooted because S Voice is mapped to double tapping the home button. This helped me out a lot on the Note 2 and I removed it already on the Note 3 without comparing lag difference already

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
I was able to change the dpi in the build.prop file to 360 and everything looks great except for one thing. The weather widget on the lock screen will no longer update. I have tried freezing the app but that didn't work and I have looked under all options to remove it but to no avail.

Does anyone here know how to remove the weather widget from the lock screen?

Here is a screenie.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
It took me a few tries to get rid of it. I think the "trick" is that is has to be expanded (swipe down), then you can long press and delete it like any other widget.

Did you try an LCD Density of 320? Iirc, my default weather widget looked fine at that density.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
I hadn't tried 320 yet. I only tried 360 since I read someone had success with that dpi. I also pulled down on the widget itself but no matter how long I press and hold I get no option for removing it.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
Well the change in dpi didn't do the trick. I can't see to figure out what app or widget this is associated with. Would anyone happen to have any ideas? This is on my lock screen and it appears after clock shows up. Here are 2 consecutive images. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commissionerg:
I'm using 320 lcd density--changed with rom toolbox pro---with no issues at all. I was experiencing crashes at lower dpi of 280 though. 320 seems to be my sweet spot and I'm loving it. Dashclock doesn't look so gaudy now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bskarpa:
Ok I have a retarded question but why would you want to change the DPI? The reason I'm asking is cause I've never messed with DPI stuff.

Sent from my hacked Galaxy N3!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
I like to use a lower dpi so that I can fit more on my screen. It basically makes things smaller allowing for space. Here are some screenies for comparison. These are the stock 480 vs mine at 360 dpi.

Hope this helps.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
Finally. I am able to run dpi of 320 and still have a lockscreen without issues. I ended up deleting the original widget and adding one from "hd widgets" in it's place. Unless you do this you will always get the ugly white box as per my original post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansto82:
What all do i need to change? I changed the build prop in system but my TW app launcher is all shrunk up and my home screen indicators are half way up the screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
I tend to change only the build.prop file. Sometimes things will move around on the desktop but I haven't used the tw launcher in some time simply because I like Nova. If things aren't looking the way you like try upping the dpi. I use 320 but I personally think 360 is the best compromise.

Also some apps may not like the dpi change. When this happens I suggest using xposed module that changes dpi on a per app basis and increasing dpi until you like the look.

It's a lot of trial and error to get a setup you will be happy with.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianpeso:
Does changing the DPI cause the Multiwindow popup on the left side of the screen to not show up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repsol_23:
No it shouldn't. It should still come up but look smaller. I think you can enable it by holding the back button for a few seconds.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianpeso:
Thanks! I had changed DPI and installed the modded transparent multiwindow pullout and I recall it working. Then when I look again it was gone.I held down the back arrow and it came back. Big thank you!

[HTC Wildfire S] Zurion:
I have a little problem with my WFS. I partitioned the SD card to use Int2Ext4, but the ROM keeps saying that no SD card is present, even if it does use the EXT partition. I can mount the card in CWM, I can see it's content there.

I'm using the ROM from OWL Project (this thread), the last version of it.

I would post there, but I don't have the post count yet.

Any advice? I'm currently repartitioning my SD card and try again. I reflashed the ROM a couple of times, fixed permissions as well from CWM.
[HTC Wildfire S] allandanton:
Did you format your partition on the SD card with EXT4? INT2EXT4 only supports the ext4 file system, not ext2 or ext3. I use the INT2EXTV2 on myl WFS with the OWL ROM for a few weeks and it works without problems so far.
[HTC Wildfire S] Zurion:
Yes, I used Ext4. I tried flashing Int2Ext, Int2Ext+, Int2ExtV2+ and Int2Ext4+ from CWM, but I was always stuck on bootloop. The only way I made it work was by extracting the script file from Int2Ext4+ and placing it in /system/etc/init.d of the ROM zip. Flashed it, it worked, but then I got this problem :))

I'm thinking that maybe the FAT32 partition was not formatted correctly. So I'm doing that now.
[HTC Wildfire S] Zurion:
I repartitioned the SD card and now it worked correctly. Weird is, I did the same thing as before, so I'm not really sure why it wasn't working in the first time.
[HTC Wildfire S] jack_dude5555:
i format the sdcard, cache, dalvik, etc then flash the script (data2sd or int2ext or int2ext+ or watever) then goto advanced then select partition sd card, select 512 MB and 0 MB for linux swap space. DONE, hope solves it for you
[HTC Wildfire S] martelinko:
I have too WFS with OWL project :) and i dont have any problem with this :)

Go to recovery menu and here create partition :) (befor it backup sd card)

Then go to mount and storage menu > mount usb storage >connect usb cable > give cronomod on sd :)

Then go to install zip from sd card and instal cronomod INT2EXT+ :)

And have more memory :)

After instal cronomod dont stres :D android start is first longer :) but only first :) then normal speed :)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITyeti:
I found a fix (plus possible trigger?)

Hey all,

I realized that the wireless issues were all where there are at least access points broadcasting the same network. The signal indicator flickers back and forth between solid and weak, and I think the wireless manager is jumping back and forth instead of sticking with the stronger one. I installed one"WiFi Manager" from Play store and the connection is more solid. I haven't rooted my device yet, so this may be the best answer until a patch shows up.

Let me know if it works,
