[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dnlilas:
Hello,

I would like to have a backup of official ROM with latest OTA 2014-02-18 included before playing with the phone

(in particular changing the partition size). Could you confirm that following are the right steps upon reception of the phone :

- install VCOM driver

- use flashtool to flash boot.img and recovery.img (CWM) (only these two files) => CWM installed

- boot to CWM recovery and install CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip => rooted phone

- boot to CWM recovery and install OTA update.zip

- boot to CWM recovery and made a backup (system + data...)

- Use mtkdroidtools to backup the ROM (for safety)

- use flashtool to flash ebr1 and ebr2 corresponding to the desired partition size (7GB in my case) => system and data destroyed

- boot to CWM recovery to restore (system + data...)

Afterwards, the phone should have the new partition size while preserving the official ROM + OTA + data, isn't it?

Question:

After searching, I find an apparently simpler procedure to root + CWM:

Use Framaroot 1.9.1 to root (only ADB driver needed, no VCOM driver needed), then install MTKMobile Uncle application to install CWM. So the flashtool is not needed. But from the opening post there is a lost root problem when SuperSU is updated from Google play. Is it true? If yes, so why does the CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip method from CWM work?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidOtaku:
Hello all,

I've had my Note 3 for a few days now, was pretty happy with the battery life until yesterday evening when I installed Lookout Mobile Security.

Basically, since then the 'Active Apps' widget is constantly red, and this is all due to Lookout eating up between 20% and 30% of the battery, all the time. It's not scanning apps (actually I did trigger a manual scan to make sure the files were all freshly scanned), and when I open the app itself, it just shows me the basic front page, no mention of any activity.

Anybody else experience that?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awukuf:
Hi all,

NEED some urgent help.

i rooted, recovered and installed the jellybean 4.3 ROM - everything worked fine, so i then then encrypted my S4 in the settings menu_

i then noticed that the SuperSU app i downloaded on play said that it didnt have root access.

i then proceeded to repeat the above link but i didnt decrypt the device before hand.

Rooting with CF Auto root worked fine, recovery wit philz touch_5.17.7 also worked fine and i installed the rom again.

when my S4 switches on, everything looks fine until i'm asked for my password for decrypting, my password is correct but cant get past this stage, screen goes blank, black even like its turned off, it vibrates once then about 30 secs vibrates twice, then nothing, it just looks like its turned off.

NEED HELP to get back to androind 4.3

[Nook Touch General] asphalt_jesus:
I was given the impression by many sites posting a Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight as rooted and a working Google Play.

I got the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675706 and followed the links to those files. I'm on Linux, so dd is no problem.

The rooting process was not difficult, but almost nothing works.

-Both browsers launch, but do not do anything despite trying a search phrase or URL.

-Google play does not launch. No feedback. Just nothing.

-Nook ColorTools doesn't launch.

-Amazon Marketplace works, but, since the device is locked to B&N, I can't install Overdrive.

-The "settings" button points to the B&N Nook settings.

-If I'm not careful, I end up at the B&N home screen and cannot get back to the Android desktop. For example, trying to launch Android's settings puts me in the B&N settings and I cannot return to the Android environment.

My original goal was to use the device to read books from my library system using Overdrive app. It's a new-ish device as of 2013-October. Maybe it's not well suited, or something has changed?

Not sure where to start for useful information to track down the issues. Is there a way to turn on logging so there's some information to post?

Thanks for your patience.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There are lots of images and lots of tools floating around and coincidentally, lots of strangeness.

In response to "fails, no feedback, just nothing", I'm sure that logcat is telling exactly what the problem is.

You need to acquaint yourself with logcat and post selected bits of it here.

On any system there is just one Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk.

Whichever you have (B&N custom or Android stock) will determine what you see.

I use library books all the time without hacking the DRM.

I don't use the OverDrive app on the Nook because it ties you to the OverDrive reader (which is a piece of junk).

I use Adobe Digital Editions on my desktop and the stock B&N reader.

(There is no evil tie to B&N that prevents you from installing OverDrive or anything else.)

Getting back to a launcher requires a hacked android.policy.jar

It also requires that you selected the launcher as your default Home intent completer.

ButtonSavior can be used if you don't have a hacked jar.
[Nook Touch General] Crispy3000:
What I would have added to that guide you linked to as requirement would be to make sure you have a backup first before rooting/installing gapps.

Things certainly don't sound like everything is installed and happy.

Being a newish device you will on firmware 1.2 perhaps even 1.2.1 a lot of older threads / tools / tweaks can be for v1.0 or v1.1. If you are on 1.2 then update to 1.2.1 before rooting. There are also minor differences between having a US and UK version firmware.

Get Google apps on NST NSTG sometimes can take a day or so. Signing into youtube sometimes helps. Searching for apps may require the search market app.

If you have a backup restore and try Nookmanager its a bit more user friendly.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Try to avoid using class 10 sdcard for your rooting I have read there are problems without kernel fixes [Although that's pure theory on my part I've used them in the past. Then again I did not think to check log for problems like that then)

I really don't want to compile one myself presently as I have no environment setup and those that I've seen like latuk's here don't have support for glowlights.
[Nook Touch General] asphalt_jesus:
The device was running 1.2.1 What ended up working was NookManager with NTGAppsAttack.

Renate, my nook default glowlight had no method to browse the Internet with the stock firmware, and my local library system has an app that installed easily once I could use a browser. It looks like the library system's app does all the DRM then downloads. The device still has the B&N apps, so I'll try to read the books from the library in it.

Thanks to all.
[Nook Touch General] Crispy3000:
You should have a browser on stock. Its called browser.
[Nook Touch General] asphalt_jesus:
If it did, it wasn't obvious. It booted to a B&N URL where I could do B&N book consuming, but that's it. No browser settings under the "settings" menu, no Android-style menu to list/execute installed apps on the device.

It's entirely possible I missed it. I was busier trying to root the thing.:victory:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Here's my comments after just over a week of use so far (O2 Exec Corp install with GBP Weather, IPToday, MagicButton installed)

1. Frustratingly slow when typing text messages, when using the inside keyboard there appears to be a delay between pressing the key and the letters actually appearing within the body...why?

2. The phone is frustratingly slow as well, when dialing sometimes the dialing tone isn't even made for some keypad numbers although the number is still dialed

3. Hanging up appears to take some time, around 2 seconds upon pressing the hangup button

4. Waking up the machine from it being turned off (standby) takes a few seconds before it becomes usable?

5. Answering calls when the Exec is closed with screen inwards...is this possible and if so how do you hold it to ensure the person can hear you, and likewise?

6. I need a GPS unit, am I best with wired/wireless (which had best battery length?), but don't want to spend a lot, any recommendations?

Thats about it for now but its enough to cause me issues...the things sexy, there's no doubt about that, but needs A LOT of tweaking - why did they not release it with a little more ram? 256 perhaps, is that the answer?

Appreciate your help!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Dude, you truly need to read thro this forum. All of these issues have been covered extensively, and most (all?) of us now have highly efficient, sleek, and fast machines. It's a bit unfair to ask people to post the answers again...

Spend some time then ask us for help on the couple of issues you truly cannot solve - you will then get a lot of support.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
I've been through the entire forum and generally can't find a conclusive forum that solves the problems here!!! Unless I'm missing something...?

The main problem is that people don't name their subjects appropriately, and instead put 'Help me please...' or similar - doesn't help searching at all.

Could you point me in the right direction?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
ashley,

if you hard reset (back/save first) your Exec and select Corporate mode (code is 0506) you Exec will have more user memory and will run faster. If you install GSPocketmagic++ it will be even faster.

I hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Thanks dude, did the Corp install as my first measure anyway, but haven't yet tried PocketMagic, I'll give that a go and have a search on the forum to see what it does!

http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1276

However, I would recommend smallmenuplus; it has a freeware version, and I'd recommend paying for the full version's bells and whistles.

It's "based" on gspocketmagic (whether legally or not is still a debate I think), but it has improvements which make it a better option. Some of the boys have had a debate about whether gsp++ introduces a magic bullet that somehow speeds up the Universal. I don't think so, both are just good and efficient task managers. SmallMenu seems to provide the same and better functionality.

I'm not knocking GSP++, but SmallMenu is a more finished product.

:( I`ve had my Note 3 two weeks now and am delighted having come from an iphone4S. It is a UK SM-N9005 version locked to the 3 network.

I charge my phone in the evening, taking it off the charger at 10pm with the battery at 100% and then pick it up at about 8am the following morning.

It has lost 15% and 18% over the last 2 overnight periods. This never happened with the iphone which would still be at either 100% or 99%.

What am I doing wrong. FWIW, I uninstalled facebook this morning to see if that makes a difference. Any other ideas folks?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorWinters:
For me i lost over night 1-3 %.

Maybe Sync is on, so Email, Facebook sync in an intervall?! Maybe your phone is awake over night and didnt go into deep sleep. Look into battery statistics.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulsmith048j:
OK, I think I`ve cracked it and it`s largely down to the advice above.

Before taking the phone off the charger at approx 10pm I basically now turn off `GPS, `Location Services`, and switch off `Synch` completely so that Googlemail and all the other bits and pieces under `Accounts` are set not to synch whilst I `m asleep. Obviously I switch most of them back on again at the start of the next working day and now my phone does `go to sleep` properly overnight and only loses 1% of battery overnight. I `ve also completely uninstalled Samsung Push and that has also made a difference, plus I uninstalled the Facebook App and replaced it with a web-pageshortcut to my Facebook account on the internet using Firefox browser (which also supports Flash!!)

I have Wifi, GPS, Sync and Bluetooth turned on at all times, during the night not connected to a charger I loose around 1-3 %.

Battery drain is virtually non-existent in deep sleep... From 20:00(charger disconnect) to 10:30. All sync off, all location services off, all bloatware gone (as much as can be done without root) by default.

3G on, WiFi off: 100% to 98%

3G on, WiFi on(keep during sleep:never): 100% to 96%

3G off, WiFi off: 100% to 100%, no loss.

Try BetterBatteryStats (there's an XDA version, use Search) and Wakelock Detector to see what's draining your battery.
