Thank you.

Never fear guys I've been hard at work all night.

Sometimes I have to scratch my head at how they code some of this stuff.

And it's all stuff that just makes life harder to go back and fix later.

Example.

Why would you ever go through the trouble of hard coding a solid color image to a background. But then still leave all the calls in place so it doesn't redirect to the image until the very end of the chain. When you could have either just called the image in the first place , or better yet just call one of the standard color codes or add one to colors.xml.

And why do we need multiple color xml files for different DPI settings that the phone doesn't even support.

I swear I could probably cut this rom in half just dumping extra image files.

Rant over sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
Just curious, where do you find all the time for this thing? Do you work from home? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Honestly at the moment this is about my full time job.

After the holidays I will have to go back to finding a new job.

Nothing horrible. Just one contract over time to find the next thing.

In the meantime I could think of worse ways to spend my time and the donations do help a lot so there is that.

Honestly this would be an awesome full time job though.

Just sitting around making electronics do my bidding.

As long as a can take a few hours every now and again to finish rebuilding an old car to drive around in the summer I'm a happy camper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Maybe I can find a blue tooth device to test with.

My car doesn't even have a radio. Or ac, power steering, abs, power windows, fuel injection, or pretty much anything not related to it moving, ect.. :)

Hmm sounds familiar for some reason.

I digress...

I would think it should be possible to write a wrapper that took whatever form of meta data the note was outputting and format it to the new standard. In theory that would get it working. Though you may have to incorporate it into the blue tooth stack further.

Maybe if I get some free time I'll see if i can peek around in the blue tooth driver stack and see what's up.

Could be interesting anyway I guess.

How does one go about removing the Internet speed indicater on the notification panel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Turn off the network speed indicator module under X posed installer> moduled
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
Speaking of network speed indicator ... is there a way to use the the network indicator from the iPhone 5 I like those small round dots
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lopies:
How dare you speak of Apple products on this forum... :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
That would be awesome, thank you. Do you need the Apk for the keyboard ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Hmm... some things i realized.

camera shutter sound option

facebook sync doesn't work

chase mobile app no longer alerts me on updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
P.E.B.K.A.C.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Honest way of putting it.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Facebook stuff dose Work, i bugged Mike tell he got it working correctly.

camera shutter sound um um um dose anyone really use it or need it? It was first put into electronic devices as a gimmick.

Have you downloaded a new copy of your apps once you Flash or have you been Restoring everything with titanium?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'm liking the new dialer and contacts.

One ore two minor visual things to remedy.

Giant improvment.

Preview this afternoon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Camera shutter was removed during the move to five.

A believe I said it after last update.

I'll get it back for next one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
meant to type facebook calendar sync.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
For anything that doesn't work.

Go ahead and pull me a couple of logs.

There are a bunch of log cat apps in the market.

Pull one with it doing it on verbose.

Pull one on errors.

I can take a look and see what's happening for you.

It should sync just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
can't sync log when the option is no longer there in the settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Of course it cant be something i could just check myself..

So there was a calendar sync option in settings that is no longer there ?

Sorry for my confusion I don't use facebook.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Missing options nd not working are two different Things for Future ref.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Ok. See that I can work with.

Now that I know what you mean I'll take a look.

Was just a bit confused sorry.

I had tried to make sure all the Facebook stuff worked.

I'll look into it and see
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
ok boss:highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
For sure.

If something is missing

I might not even notice when I go to test.

Especially if everything that shows works.

When working these issues out as much info as possible please.

Especially when it's something I don't use myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Samsung built in Photo Editor has dpi issues as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
I changed the Dpi from 320 to 380 to 480 for gallery, has the same issue on all the setting. Is there a different Apk i need to change the settings on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'll have to look here in a few minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Changed it to 480 Dpi No change except the size
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Neipas09:
Where is 5.1 Full and 5.2 update at?

I couldn't find it on the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
yup, the pic alignment is still weird after changing the dpi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Ugh it's probably calling multiple parts from multiple apks.

I'll have to run through and change one at a time and see.

Luckily app settings puts a little icon by them so you can kind of tell easily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Also at that point there probably connected enough they need to be all at the same Dpi anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
I already switched to kit Kat gallery, it's pretty cool
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'll have to check it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
I usually use QuickPic for the gallery. The only time i use gallery by samsung is when i need quick s-pen features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
As far as calendar for facebook is it possible something needs to be set up on the Facebook side.

Maybe account for sync type thing.

Some of my other apps will let me sync calendar.

Though I will have to look into Facebook more
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
facebook app itself doesn't have sync options for calendar. it's samsung settings that have it. stock rom had the option built in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
My thoughts on this would be that android has included Facebook into the operating system which allows all the sync options. If the stock Facebook files got removed in your cleaning this could possibly be the issue with the option normally there not Being there.

Just ideas from a moron.

@mjcollum question for you Window, Mac, or Linux?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nala_:
All updates past the public version are for contributors only at this time.

As mike adds new features there is usually a trickle down effect with the public version gaining a few features.

This is done foe both testing purposes and as a perk / thank you to anyone who donates.

Especially because at the moment this is his full time job mostly.

Ill be catching up on oir thank you notes and adding any new contributors.

Thank you everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Very possible.

I can throw together a Facebook package with any removed facebook stuff if there is any. I look later.

Windows or linux.

I usually dualboot.

Though to be honest I get lazy and find there really is almost never a need for linux.

Though I do like it. And love the idea of an open source os.

I won't touch a mac.

Nope. Never.

I can't stand it.

Not because I'm an android or Linux fan boy or anything.

I just don't like the whole idea.

The hardware is nothing super special.

Yes it's on the high end usually.

But better options for the price.

Great marketing.

Mediocre products at best.

Way to locked down.

And I hate the ui.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stashu11:
Wow, maybe a solution to my stock problem. Every time I boot up I get an error facebook can't sync. I never want it to sync anyways. It's only been since I got the note 3 that this has been happening
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Well apparently I have no problem getting that part to not work.

I could pretty easily whip up a app that would wipe facebook off the phone completely.

Though it would need root.

Of course you could always just use maximus.

Which is way better than stock.

If I do say so myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Awesome, i only ask because i just watched jobs last night.

I've Used a Mac once but only for a Min to pull some movies off it. It took me like 20 Min to figure out where the files were hidden.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Lol your doing good. After I spent 20 minutes figuring out that the mouse only had one button. I still kept trying to right click.

Ugh.

A simple os layout does not need to be that difficult to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Ask jayme. I finally converted her away from apple.

She was a firm apple fan.

Would hear nothing about any reason why it would be better all around to get rid of the apple stuff.

Now she laughs when she sees someone with an iPhone trying to explain how it's so much better.

Of course she is all rooted and whatnot though so there are a few hoops to jump through to get the best experience. That is daunting for some.

Though stock for stock the android is still better by far.

I couldn't convince her to go back I don't think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
My parents have IPhones only because they are simple and they don't want all the bells and stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
For sure.

For some people they are actually ideal.

For those that are comfortable with technology and want more features and options we get the complete other end of the spectrum.

The few.

The proud.

The rooted rom'ed android phone brigade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
As i told a fellow Android user once, The iPhone Is for The Uncreative, Uninventive, Unmotivated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
On a side note.

Dialer and contacts.

Pretty much white.

Some red.

Just trying to decide on the background.

Clear is awesome and pulls your wallpaper as the background.but works best with backgrounds that don't have a lot of white.

Black is always good.

Maybe a 80% or so black overlay. About what pulling the drop down looks like.

Probably different versions at some point.

If yall have thoughts let me know.

Little left to do yet.

There should be a beta preview a little later.

I'll make it a separate add on zip for now.

And add it to the rom once any additional tweaks get mafe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
A transparent Dailer sounds Kool to me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Ok first test version will be transparent.

We can adjust from there.

I'm weird like that. I enjoy fully customizing my phones which is why after 4 years I left the iPhone behind. Playing the jailbreak waiting game every time an OS was released was getting old.

I just like quality products I don't care who's name is on it.

I Will agree that the laptops Are built well, but to me the 1300 price tag on the ma'am book, vs 500 - 700 For a compatible Windows. I'll buy a new laptop every two years and get the most updated hardware.

The desktops / towers are just outlandish. Apple dose not make a desktop that could out perform the tower i built and put windows on.

But i Digress, to each his own. And more power to everyone.

We are on our way back to the house now.

I'll have her get anyone we missed then.

Sorry for any delay.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goddly:
Not a problem Enjoying The Rom, Its actually kept me from releasing my, White Out Transparency Rom, I have a few Mods that differ from the other roms out.

~Just a port fom a different device~
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
that dialer looks sick! got a link? haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdebutts:
Hey I'm sorry.. Somehow I've gotten a little behind on the updates..is everyone doing complete Wipes for updates labeled as "full"? Or is dirty flashing working alright? I just hate redoing everything each time.. Thanks y'all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goddly:
I'll give it to mj. If he want to add it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Cool pop it over I'll give it a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Jayme getting out any missed links now.

I'll spend an hour or so on minimus and upload it tonight.

5.3 in progress.

Dialer preview in progress.

Spykes theme in progress.

Better lockscreen weather handling try 2

More options.

Integrate 4 in reboot with system

More audio tweaks.

I'm sure i skipped something
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Sweet I'll have a custom theme for Christmas :D it's all i could ever ask for and more :D

Currently trying to figure out all this Sdk and android studio stuff. That way I may be able to assist you in the future With minor issues and themes.

thank you for everything you do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GramKrackr:
Hey were you ever able to find anything regarding the SVIEW Cover to possibly fix and include in upcoming releases. Hopefully I'm not the only one using an sview cover and I was thinking for future as the Spigen SVIEW Slim Armor is about to come out and going to be jumping on that immediately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I honestly hardly ever use the android ask stuff.

Granted it can be necessary for some of the most advanced stuff but it's not needed.

I'll post you my Apk tool package.

And some instructions.

Ends up way easier.

You can usually just

Decompile.

Edit.

Recompile.

Honestly notepad++

Apk tool

Some way to edit images, photoshop, I like image magick for batch commands on images from a command line.

And some way to make zips. I use winrar.

Are all I have really needed to use for everything so far.

Granted I'm comfortable with a command line and those tools.

But keep it simple is my motto.

Also this way there is no real setup.

My folder has some easy scripts.

Just put your twframework

And framework Apk files in the folder

Along with the file you want to edit.

Double click start

Type r1 enter

Type r2 enter

Type

Apktool d yourapk.apk

Make whatever edits to imgs or files

Apktool b yourapk

Copy the meta inf folder and android manifest from the original Apk into the new one in the dist folder it created.

Bam done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I have not as of yet for sure.

Though the upcoming 5.3 release will have some improved Dpi calls above and beyond what app settings offers baked in.

I should have it out for contributors in the next 24 hours.

Giving myself a little cushion on this one as its just a feature update.

I need also to finish a few other projects in the meantime.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
That sounds so much easier then all this android stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Also I just saw an email from [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION].

If you want to make some theme or add on packs that are compatible let me know. I could then spend time doing other things.

We can probably even clean you out post 4 to post them if you like.

I'm open to ideas.

Anyone who has anything they made that they would like to see included let me know and I'll check it out.

And guys, the mod is simply stunning. No other way to describe it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
small teaser from earlier

the background is clear.

few small glitches.

need to import some reworked icons also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'm on it.

Fix is on the list.

Though I thought it was included.

Try setting 480 Dpi in app settings.

And maybe try delete hosts file.

One of those was also impacting it for me.

I'll look more later.

Hello! I'm loving this ROM the only thing I noticed since I installed v5.0 the stock email app is missing the Exchange Services option, and I need to sync my email for work. I tried using the 4.4 email apk with matching Exchange Service's apk but that is having problems syncing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'll add a public version small bug fix for this and a few other minor issues as soon as I can.

To fix your sync issues.

Delete all email apps and exchange apks.

Delete any related data in /data/data

Reboot.

Flash 4.4. Email zip.

Should then work.

Should already work for everyone else on 5.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
There is nothing past 5.2 up at the moment.

You did get those links right?

I'll get you the xml

I basically removed the background call totally.

Then set each individual section clear
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Okay they have a lot less in them. I'm going to start spending my free time reading and watching videos on C++ And in a couple years i may start to understand it Lol. You make it seam so easy, i tried pulling apart a stock 4.3 Rom and i can't understand where you found files that didn't need to be there. I'll be taking next week off work and going to attempt to learn at least what i am looking at and what each part dose. Spending an hour looking at This code makes me appreciate what you and the other Devs do So Much more.

I'm Into the building and repair of computers (which is why i have and outrageously Over powered 3 foot tower that i won't ever fully use. I have ran Crysis 3 and far cry 3 at the same time on this system with 0 lag)

I really need to learn the coding side of computer language so i can really use my brain and my computer for everything it's worth.

Thank You for the file and the first step in the learning process, i will enjoy showing off what I'm learning in the next few months and you telling me how to do it better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:

45 minutes to downtown.

1 mile to the nearest neighbor.

It has its perks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flyers2114:
very nice rom....keep up the great work!:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] WeSiDe:
I'd like to run this by you guys for a peer review, because I keep getting errors, all seeming to be related to permissions or busy box. Here is my process;

1. Boot into twrp and wipe Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache 3 times (old wise tale? Not site why, hold over from my epic4g touch days. ) and then reboot back into recovery.

2. Flash 5.1 full, reboot, go through setup Wizard and Samsung setup Wizard, hit the desktop,then reboot back into recovery. Flash 5.1 again, fix permissions,and reboot.

3. I go into Wanam and permit it root access and of the op install outline that's the only step left I think. After that I reboot normal.

After boot reboot recovery, apply 5.2 update, reboot, done.

Also, I'm not in understanding the role of Viper4Android in the rom. I think I saw it mentioned briefly but couldn't find the reference. Is it an intended behavior for v4a to spit an error when attempting to install the drivers? I see they are already there in /system/lib/sounds and and allot of edits to the /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf file. So. Do I just leave the two v4a apps alone and tune the sound through the touch wiz player.

Thanks for any assistance and I should have posted sonner. No computer atm, but it got to Houston today, Wahoo! Btw, I'm a long time user of Viper4Android and wanna thank you for choosing it as your rom's DSP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Your suppose to fix permission after the 5.2 install.

Viper4android probably not installing drivers because of busybox. try downloading "busybox installer" from play store and install it. then try to load the drivers in v4a again. good luck
