[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Negan:
Ok guys I must say this and please know I mean this in the nicest way possible so don't take it the wrong way and have a fit or start a flame war.

I am just shocked with some of these posts regarding certain problems. It's almost like people aren't even trying to figure things out when they run into an issue. And 5 minutes of trying isn't exactly a solid effort. Now I won't comment on tethering because I'm on bell and it works on any rom or stock.

However we have had several users test it, all of whom are on tmo and all reported it working like a charm. So it's really strange. But I can't help with that and perhaps theres something odd going on there.

However some of the other minor things like wanam, or sms, volume, etc are all working just fine. This isn't cm where everything is broken.

I stand by user error or defective device.

Here's what you guys need to consider and should be doing.

Some root apps and or xposed tweaks, etc will conflict and cause issues. So will dirty flashing blah blah.

When I test a rom I do not install my apps until I've tested all the normal things. That gives you an unbiased result everytime. You guys ever watch any of max's rom reviews where he scrolls through everything? Ever notice he doesn't have anything flashy on his home screen and doesn't really have any apps installed? That is so he can properly determine functionality. Once ive done that I restore my tibu. And then I test again. Then I install any additonal mods. Then I test again. By doing this I cam easily pin point anything that causes issues and fix them immediately.

Like if anyone has visited my CYANide theme thread and reads the op, you will notice I clearly state that wanam can conflict with it. Same process was done. That way I don't release a "nightly" lol! And it allows me to know what does and doesn't jive.

So I can understand the frustration some are experiencing. However I think some of you need to just slow it down and start over. Start with a clean flash and do what I said I do when testing. I bet it will be a lot quicker than trying to sort through all your crap that's already installed to find the needle in the hay stack. You'll save a huge headache.

I like many others am here to help and will continue to do so no matter what. But let's all do our part and do things the right way and have some fun.

oh and one other thing guys. I see a lot of users help out other users ie [MENTION=3233338]kushXmaster[/MENTION] will help sir_noob_a_lot. Remember to hit their thanks button guys. Don't just write thanks or abandon the thread. Show a little love to others. And remember guys please respect each other.

As for the dl link, it may be an issue with the server possibly upgrading or something. I'm not certain. If ptmr3 pulled it he usually tells me, and he has not. Anyway for those looking for it, unless ptmr3 posts in here that it's ok for a mirror, don't post one out of respect.

So I truly hope you folks understand where I'm coming from. There's no malice in my tone here.

Cheers

Backup your USER apps sms, call logs with your preferred choice. I recommend tibu.

Then obviously ensure you have the rom on your phone, verify the md5 matches.

Then in recovery (twrp recommended) wipe. Them go to advanced wipe, and wipe cache, dalvik, and system.

Now thats a solid wipe.

Then flash rom. You'll be fine

Aka read the op!
