[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
I just said in my previous posts that I HAVE wiped everything (three times!) completely and tried reinstalling only 5.8. How can I "obviously not be doing it correctly" when I'm doing ONLY what the instructions are saying to do?

EDIT: Got it to work. There is something in one of the options of Part 2 that, if I select one that isn't listed with an asterisk next to it, it doesn't allow a signal. I went through Part 2 and made sure only the "Compatibility" options were checked and no others.

EDIT 2: Bugger. Upon going into Google Play Store to reinstall my apps and it says that I cannot install one of them (a game; Sims Freeplay0 because my phone's version isn't supported. It's 4.3, and the game ran on it just fine on 5.5. Anyone know a workaround or option I have to select somewhere within the phone to get Play to let me download it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Nickitt:
When I say it is obvious, I mean do you see anyone else having this issue? I may suggest flashing to a different Rom, getting everything set up like Google accounts, play store, updating prl and profile. Once done back it up, wipe and flash the 5.8. Even with all the information you give us, we're not in your shoes and cannot tell you exactly what to do. That's the reason why we are here though is to help so don't get angry with one of us when we say it's obvious. Thanks and good luck to you.

Usually if you are having problems with the play store I always try different dpi settings per each app until it shows all apps. There should be settings to choose from if you install the 5.8 build aroma. Just putting in my two cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
Your previous statement of it being obvious came across being condescending. So, yes, I'm going to sound like I'm angry because I'm fussing with a problematic ROM that has been giving me troubles for 4 hours when I'm being accused that I was doing something wrong. It couldn't possibly be because I was actually telling the truth and I was doing everything in the instructions and was still having trouble, only for someone to assume I was doing something wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yavihah:
When you full wipe do you reboot to recovery? Had similar problem with this rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
First I do a full wipe in TWRP. Just to be safe, I will use the Wipe option 3 times. Then, I go to Install and select 5.8. I select Part 1 to flash and let it do its thing, after I choose which kernel I prefer. Then, I let it boot to the main OS and then reboot into Recovery.

EDIT: Okay, got 5.8 running okay but I just noticed something: Multi-Window isn't included on this? Or, is it hidden somewhere and has to be enabled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yavihah:
It should be on quick settings, I think its toggled off as default
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
Sweet, found it. Thanks. Is there a way to get the transitioning to be faster/snappier? I believe that they were very fast on 5.5; is it just a setting found in one of the "add-ons" that would change the speed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Are you still having the Google Play Store version not supported prob?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
When I reinstalled 5.8, I went ahead and downloaded the game before I went onto Part 2 of the install, just to ensure I could download it. Then, when I went in to the DPI settings, I had them set as "Midway" and everything works as it should now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 22stars:
go into settings>general>about device - then tap the "Build Number" until it says developer options unlocked, then go back and go into settings>general>developer options and scroll down to Window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale - change them all to 0.5x - this will make it faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Cool. I was just going to mention that in the X posed Installer, one of the modules you can download is "All Apps in Play Store". I haven't used it myself, but I think it addresses your prob.

Glad you got it worked out. Sounded like you had a rough time getting up and running on 5.8, but its worth it. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
Thank you, I appreciate it when someone acknowledges I had a rough time and is willing to offer support to get it rectified. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Anytime I can use my (very limited) arsenal of knowledge...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
See what happens when I'm not paying attentuon.

The problem with the install may be choosing clear dialer for some reason it's borked in 5.8.

The all apps in play store module should fix things up with any issues downloading on other dip settings.

Seems like you guys got most of it covered.

The plan is for releases there is to be a 5.9 public (fixed 4.3 installer)

And 6.0 test (new 4.4 build) this weekend.

Thanks guys for covering and helping out. Awesome user base. Yall are the best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xyojimbox:
I'll test 4.4 for ya. Need to flash something! Haha

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
That would explain it, quite possibly. When I first did it, I chose my own custom settings, and the Clear Dialer was one of them. When I went with the asterisk listed options, no issues whatsoever. Glad to see you're aware of it, because truthfully I haven't found any other ROM that comes close to this one. It's mostly the level of customization I can do (like the DPI settings) that I like.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Nickitt:
I am glad everything is working now and is to your liking. We're all here to help, sorry I came off as saying you basically didn't know what you were doing.

Happy to hear all is well so you are now experiencing such a great silky smooth Rom.

Excited to flash 5.9 then 6.0, been on this Rom since the first day it was released ? MJ must of done something right because I'm a flash happy kinda guy ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nelsonator1982:
Been waiting for your 4.4 ROM would love to test if possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Anyone notice that some images in the play store won't display? Is it just me? And the little controller icon in the "games" tab doesn't show up. Not really an issue just an annoyance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Happens if your using the hosts file For ad blocking. It's a bit extreme
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Any way to undo that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neonflx:
Is xbmc working?

I get a crash every time I try to open it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
You can use host editor to edit the host file

Search Google and delete the entries.

Alternatively delete system/hosts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Derp. Xbmc works though the install may be borked.

May have to install manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Duce HD2:
I tried using the Drama mode in the camera and this is what comes up... Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xeonbuilder:
I just check my drama mode and I have the same problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I probably bored it at some point and no one noticed. If I get a chance I'll take a quick peek foe 5.9 but the old 4.3 builds will be pretty much abandon ware by the end of the weekend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Funny. Between the wife, 4 and 2 year old, I thought drama mode was the only mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] joelstitch:
I'm having the same problem. When i clock in "Open app info" I get this message:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] enzyme:
Assuming everything is installed correctly. When I do a factory wipe, which part of the install process does it roll back to? Because there were several installs. First install? Or will to go back to the completion of the whole install process?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
It completely erases your system and data partitions. You will need to re flash both part 1 and part 2 of the Rom installation process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 22stars:
Assuming everything is installed correctly, you would not need to do a wipe, particularly not a factory wipe.

you should have done a wipe in CWM or TWRP prior to flashing the rom in general.

the wipe in your recovery will not touch your data partition storing your files/ pics / music - however a factory wipe / factory reset will clear that out.

detailed instructions for proper flashing are all included in the first few posts on the first page.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] enzyme:
I mention this because I ran into something that I can't fix.

I kept getting FC's very frequently. It was because of a Wanam Xposed module that I enabled. I don't know which one but it was one of them. The FC stopped but my dialer changed and was small (exactly like what it looks like when completely/improperly installed.

How could I fix this. Could I just install the rom again over existing, and then the provisioning? or start over? Things are backed up so I don't care about retaining user apps/data, or system data/settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] joelstitch:
I figured out how to fix this. First make sure you have the stock Gallery app installed (I had mine freezed). Install Aptoide. After installing Aptoide search for Drama and install the app that comes up. That fixed the issue for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rukin1:
hmm weird.. it won't let me fix permissions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
Same. It's like the ROM breaks down after a while. It's almost been a month since updates so I just installed 4.4 and changed the dpi. I had forgotten what it felt like to have my apps working without lagging or FC
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Duce HD2:
Nvm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
i get stuck in a bootloop :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
I am still on my initial install of this Rom and not one hiccup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xeonbuilder:
I have just 2 apps that dont work anymore since flashing this rom. at bat 2014 and the optimum app. No matter how many times I flash them they dont work.. Hopefully a new update will fix it.. hint hint..:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Same here. Its almost these guys are describing a totally different rom. I've experienced none of the issues. I hate to bring it up again, but this sounds like install steps skipped or borked. All due respect to everyone with a problem, but maybe just double check the OP to ensure the process is executed exactly as described. Otherwise [MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION] is an awesome troubleshooter. Hang in there!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Duce HD2:
No issues either, other than the Drama mode in the camera not working. Initial install for me too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
It's more likely that we run different apps and the ones I run don't work while the ones you run do. I've wiped everything and started from scratch following every step down to a t. This is the only rom I've ever donated to but I eventually couldn't justify sticking to it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Are y'all running the Beastmode kernel? I used to have a lot of issues with my apps thinking it was the ROM, then I installed the stock kernel and all my problems went away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
I tried that too haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sholee:
is anyone else having this issue with the rom? I keep getting signed out of my google account and i'll have to sign back in every other day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
all of a sudden my dialer became small like this. I flashed again the dpi zip, and re installed the dialer from the Rom zip theme menu. How do I fix this?

Please see attachment.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Maybe run the App Settings app and change the dpi of the phone to 480. Worth a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
I tried that already but thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Just reflash and fix permissions. Had the exact same issue on 5.5. Not sure what causes it but that's how I fixed it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
Which part? One or two? Or both?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cjohnsonthe2nd:
you turned on one hand mode. press menu and turn it off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
How?

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I did that and it still does not work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Both.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] T3CHW0LF:
You need to set both dialer and contact apps to 480 DPI.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Yeah. Did this work? There was mention earlier in the forum but I definitely forgot to mention contacts do too. Did [MENTION=4918283]T3CHW0LF[/MENTION] get it right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oFAMOUSo:
i think you only have to do the contacts and it fixes it right up. well it did for me. no other ones changed and it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] T3CHW0LF:
Both apps need to be the same DPI for it to stick since they are dependant on each other. The same goes for the camera and gallery apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
Haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
This worked..... Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Boogeyman45:
Hi all. Where are these dpi settings located?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
Go to xposed installer and either download or activate app settings module. Then pick the app you want and change the dpi. Afterwards, reboot.

Either way it's just too soon to write off an awesome Dev just because they haven't dropped an update. Ask yourself this question; is my Note 3 awesome with this rom? Then ask; Do I have any problems with this rom?

The Dev is busy with life. You know that does happen right?

So all you users stop being in a rush for that KitKat fix. Nothing you all are missing. It's just an updated os with app dependency on each other and security patches.

I don't think you are being either, but I would aver that people like this ROM, and they are still talking about it. What content would you suggest be retained in this thread, and what removed, and to what standard?

My posts here have been nominal, basically suggesting that folks be patient, and I think I called a guy a stalker (definitely a sarcastic remark on my part, I am unclear if I even provided the proverbial text-based wink).

But back to my point, reading through the last few pages, the majority has been upbeat, helpful, and forward-looking. In the main, they show active use of this ROM and a desire to hear from the dev. I see nothing here that could even be brought to a PM.

So, in the spirit of your post, I'll ask you genuinely what posts do you believe belong off this thread?

You can PM me with the specifics if you'd like.

I've hit a snag; how do I actually go about to change the DPI of the main phone system itself? Basically, what I'm trying to do is update one of my games and the Play Store says it's not compatible with my device. So, I'm assuming that I have to change the system DPI in order to update. Is that true? If so or if not so, would someone be able to point me in the right direction, please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Xposed installer, downloads, then get "all apps in play store". Don't need to change dpi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
Unfortunately, that didn't work. It's still saying it's not compatible with my device.

EDIT: I changed the DPI from 240 to 320 and now it works, to an extent. It still won't let me update (or reinstall after uninstalling). I'm thinking I have to try different DPI settings in that one module to get it to behave correctly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Just a thought, did you make sure the "all apps" module was enabled after it was downloaded? In Xposed just double check to see if the box is ticked next to the module in the 'Modules" section. Just because it's downloaded doesn't mean it's turned on. You probably know but I didn't at first. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
Yes, I did.

Found a work around: access the Play Store via computer and tell it to download and install to my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] T3CHW0LF:
You have to specify what DPI you want to spoof with the all play store module. You do that by selecting the module in the xposed module section. When you select the module it will take you to the module settings and then you can choose the correct DPI to spoof.
