He's on note 2 4.3.

There are several posts on why tethering was removed. Read: dev doesn't want to support theft. If you want tethering pay for it. Also, this isn't the place to discuss how you should be able to use your data.

Id your connection issues with VPN are from 4.4 then there isn't much we can do to help you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spaghetti2514:
Have you tried the one offered by Wanam Xposed in System > Disable tether provisioning?

I think that's the same thing, but I'm still on JB so I've got the built in provisioning disabler and aren't really in a position to check
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
I was just thinking about that after I made the post. There's 3 Note 3's in the household so I'll just trade it out with someone LOL.

[MENTION=2595499]iunlock[/MENTION], just curious, why is the VPN so important to you. I thought that was mostly something that you used to get on to a network at work or that sort of thing. I know it can be used to get around the plan ck somehow as well. Are you just trying to get a wifi connection to your other devices? I have, (we all do now on tmo) hotspot up to 3gig with I think all plans. If and when I go over that I use Wifi tether router from playstore to get around the plan ck temporarily until my cycle renews. Seems to work fine for that.

I appreciate you pointing that out and yes this is not a post to discuss how we use our data. The point that I would like to make is the definition / rather perception on how you define tethering or what it means to you differs from others. Let alone how this is being viewed as "theft," is a little extreme IMO and the majority would agree.

I understand the dev's decision to do what he did, however, in this ball game we're in with customization, either way you slice it the sudden decision in removing the feature is a little abrupt and again the majority would feel the same. (I don't mind paying for the App to make this possible, that's chump change. This also isn't the point.)

We all have our own opinions. I support the dev 100% and am grateful for his awesome work, which means that I obviously support his decisions with what HE does with HIS ROM, for our pleasure. However, just because I support it doesn't mean that I like the fact that it was removed, all due to the reasoning's behind how we individually define what tethering means.

The real question is, who really is the "theft" here? Us the consumers or the money sucking corporate conglomerates that tack on misc. taxes to our phone bill? If we're paying for Unlimited Data (yea yea, I know of the stupid fine prints) with no throttling on our device, what's the harm in accessing the internet via our computer/ipad using a UAS on our other devices? That's the point.

My $30 plan doesn't include any tethering.

I never need tethering, I just like having the option.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
If you don't like the way your carrier operates, switch or complain to them.

If you want tethering built in, it's not gonna happen.

If you want to do it yourself, it's pretty easy. If you can decompile apks, edit xml and do some smali edits you're golden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
No need to expend any energy in doing so. I like TM over all the carriers. Best of all, we have options to make it possible so it's all good.

VPN is important to me because of my line of work in dealing with confidential client information (financial/real estate). When you're dealing with this stuff, especially big numbers (dinero) a rule of thumb in this industry is that you just don't take short cuts or you'll end up falling hard from ignoring your own ignorance. Plus, I like security because it makes sense. Personally, I can't see myself going about it any other way other than to do something so simple in using a VPN.

I'm aware of the options for the tethering etc...

Oh BTW, from a VPN user to a VPN user, DON'T UPGRADE TO KK as you WILL have one heck of a time staying connected on your VPN. It's a known issue with KK, one I hope gets figured out soon to obtain a smooth connection. As of right now if you upgrade to KK (because you're upgrading the BL) you'll be screwed (Can NOT downgrade back to 4.3) until someone figures it out. So, stay where you are for the moment if you still want to use your VPN.

, just curious, why is the VPN so important to you. I thought that was mostly something that you used to get on to a network at work or that sort of thing. I know it can be used to get around the plan ck somehow as well. Are you just trying to get a wifi connection to your other devices?

IF VPN is that important to you and your business, I wouldn't be messing about with a my phone knowing that I am taking the chance that something might not work correctly.

Ok, so I tried to do some searching because I was curious. Couldn't really find anything. I did find a quide to decompile the settings.apk and do some backsmali edits to get an option to decrease font size. But it was for ics lol. And I'm pretty sure it's system wide.

So here's what I would try. Use xposed to adjust the dpi of the touchwiz launcher.

Edit: you can actually use xposed app settings to just adjust the font scale for the touchwiz launcher. Should work just fine.

Not sure if it's ROM related, but here goes nothing. The quite ubiquitous "No connection, Retry" KitKat error reared its ugly head. Comes from nowhere, internet connection is fine - Chrome and other apps work just fine, except GMail, Play Store and other Google crap. Reboot usually fixes it. I am not sure, but I think a couple times I saw it going away on its own without a reboot.

Does anyone have any insight as to what's going on with this error. The internet is full of "useful" solutions as to clear cache and all that, but those are solutions till next time it happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cr1130:
This same EXACT thing has happened to me Friday.. I ignored initially and again last evening it popped up. Not sure what the deal is as you stated when rebooted all is well. What I have noticed now is that when I long press on my menu screen from home screen to access google now I get S-Finder instead. Not sure if they are related issues or I f'd something up tinkering around.. Anywho, if anyone knows how I can map google now back to long pressing the menu button or why this No connection pops up, I'd gladly appreciate any insight.. Using my search boxes in XDA in the meanwhile ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Not sure about the connection issue. I haven't had that problem.

And the menu key was mapped to s finder always I think. Definitely in 4.4 that is the default. You might be able to find an app or something to change it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cr1130:
thank you sir. i cleaned all cache on google apps an the no connection has yet to appear.. ill keep searching for the google now situation as it did start with kit kat now that i think about it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spaghetti2514:
What launcher are you using?

Nova Launcher has a setting to specify what to do on long menu press. I remember when I first installed the 4.3 version of this rom, S-Finder was indeed the default search, so it's not new to KitKat. I both deleted the S-Finder apk and switched launchers, and after that I was getting only Google Now on long menu. You might try moving the S-Finder apk out of the way (or deleting it) and see if it automatically falls back to Google Now if you want to use the default launcher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cr1130:
Edit-froze s-finder. long press on menu button does nothing.. so im just going with pressing home button and touching the G and get to google now that way. i couldnt figure out how to map it to my menu long press.. no biggy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kwolz:
Am I Over thinking this?

I try reading everything I can before making a jump like this - oddly enough that seems to be my stumbling block here.

I read that all you need to do to update the bootloader is to Odin to 4.4.2 stock, reroot - odin the recovery of choice and jump to any custom ROM you want.

Then I read that you have to first odin back to stock 4.3 because the new OTA roms will not install if the previous rom is custom.

I have Odin / Mobile Odin / TWRP for 4.4 / OTA image for TMO / and this rom. I am a little confused with the process.

Am I over thinking this ( my brain is locked in a loop - if the new BL requires a 4.4 recovery - and the 4.4 recovery requires a 4.4 BL - which one do you put on fist and can they just be done at the same time )...

I don't get a lot of free time to do crap like this - so any help to point me in the right direction would be great. I just can't imagine that everyone here with a custom 4.3 rom is going back to stock 4.3 and then stock 4.4.2 and then Jedi - at least I have not read about anyone actually doing that.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Reflash without wiping.

Here's what you do, it's really easy.

You go to http://www.sammobile.com and you download the stock tar image from there.

Put your phone in download mode.

Use odin to flash the tar file you just got.

Let it reboot.

Make sure you have twrp 2.7

Reboot to download mode again and use odin to push twrp.

Let phone reboot.

Reboot to recovery and flash rom.

You don't need to revert to stock. You don't need to root the stock 4.4 rom after odin.
