Not much activity here.

Either a good thing because everything mostly works.

Or maybe Noone uses this .

I haven't had a lot of time to stick my head in.

But know there is quite a bit of progress being made.

Plans have just slightly changed.

Looks like I will end up making a full version for v4. Instead of just updates. Lots of changes hopefully for the better. Eta probably this weekend after thanksgiving depending on amount of time I get to devote.

I need to ask a noob question.

How do you get to the exposed installer?

Steps???

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
It should be in the app drawer under xposed installer

Xposed installer > framework > update

First.

Then go to modules and check the ones you want.

Then clicking on modules should bring up settings for each.

Thanks

I've been running this ROM for days now and still lovin' it. Perfect for my minimalism...

Just saw [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION]'s Galaxy Note fre3 1.32 ROM which includes viper4android... Considering switching to that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I was thinking of trying it also at some point.

Will be including viper for next version.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
I've got everything setup just as I like it on this ROM so if the update is coming this weekend maybe, I'll hold out.

Perhaps I'll put together a bootani for you when I get some time, taking on too many projects at once... slowing down my progress.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I feel you on the projects.

A much improved v4 is definitely in the works.

And as per currently you could just dirty flash it and not lose your settings.

Should be this weekend.

Viper audio

Found another 20mb of uselessness.

Some very light themes.

Option to invert phone and mail.

More.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
That sounds absolutely lovely, I'm sold.

I'd be interested in a black/white theme.

Inverted apps are a plus; I try to use black/transparent backgrounds and white fonts/icons to optimize battery life, not sure how much difference it makes because I've never been one for bright and colorful themes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Great minds think alike.

This will have an option for a mostly black white experience. Not a huge color fan myself.

Does 5.8 have the option to remove the accuweather widget?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
nope all the new stuff is in 5.9, which is mostly done, if i can put in a couple hours on it tonight, and if i can make a case for driving back into town tomorrow then 5.9 should be in the test folder tom afternoon.

sorry, was just trying to get all the install bugs worked out before adding more stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SanityBroken:
I'll hook ya up if you feel like driving to the springs. Lol

So when you guys do a TWRP nandroid, what does everyone backup? My past two nandroids have included Boot, Recovery, System, Data, Cache and Efs and the files are much larger than backups a few months ago. I can't remember if I I've always had every option ticked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
i normally just do..

system,data,cache

i usually keep one full everything, and the rest just those 3.

all you should really need in most cases.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SanityBroken:
Selecting the clear dialer still causes phone to quit, other than that nice job on the installer overhaul
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
blah..

ill have to go look again,

thanks.

...

edit

forgot a comma in the installer. fixed for 5.9

even the strictest english teacher would get a kick out of how specific this stuff must be.

over 3,000 lines of case, content.context, and punctuation sensitive text. just for the new installer.

i think anyone who is a complete grammer nazi may actually enjoy the coding part.

it's all about the end result for me.

Everything running smooth as butter! Love a test spot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Great to hear!

As soon as [MENTION=5591585]nala_[/MENTION] gets home I'll have her send out the thank you emails for donators and contributors.

As soon as that's done the next mission for the evening is to add a few new testers.

After I'm caught up with that I'll look at anyone else who would like a test slot on a case by case basis.

So anyone who was looking for a test spot should check emails / and or pm late tonight or early tomorrow.

Anyone who still wants a spot and hasn't gotten one by then may send me an email or pm for consideration.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
Thanks. I do my best flashing after drinking so the details sometimes are hazy. Anyway, maybe count me in on a little 5.9 action? Maybe with a little more Paypal action?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
paypal action is always appreciated,:laugh:

though no worries, your on the test list, (i've also noticed you around for a while) and should get an email later this evening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
well, and thank you again :)

i went ahead and sent you a pm with the test group link.

i had noticed you around for a while and kept meaning to anyway.

Yup, this one is sprint specific.

Even comes pre rooted.

All you would need to do first is install twrp recovery.

(Check the original development secrion)

Sprint only for now.

I may port it over to other carriers, but then again I may not ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] erik077:
Great. Does everything works on it (including pen stylus)? If yes please send me pp with rooting info and I might do it over the weekend if I get a chance. My last rooting was S2, so you can tell I'm very rusty :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Pen and everything works.

No need to root at all. The rom install will root for you.

All you need to do is go to the original development section and download the latest twrp recovery.

There are simple instructions in that thread.

Basically you just flash one file in odin.

Then viola you can just install this no problem.

5.9? I can't believe I missed 5.7 and 5.8. I'm in the hospital for a couple weeks and you've knocked out a few updates. Now to catch up! Woohoo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Well that sucks.

I hope you're OK, but if you're in the hospital, are not in agony, are in hopeful circumstances, have at least some idle time on your hands, a computer, a charger, a good WiFi signal...then you you should devote at least half of your downtime flashing the rom. You may have to ask the doctor for any more time than the fifty percent.

Come to think of it, the test folder might have excellent palliative benefits.

But soberly, I do hope all will yet be well. And you owe it to yourself to flash a lot of stuff. Make sure that you have viper4android cranked up nicely. The other patients will love you.

Just tell the nurses to keep the visitors away

Anybody know how this happens? It's happened to me a few times but by accident and I don't know how to activate it. I'd love to know it's a pretty cool feature
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] adventure95004:
Did you format the card when you first put it in. I had problems, when I first put my card in so I transferred all my files on to my laptop formatted the card and then reinstalled all the files and haven't had a problem since.

Use the format settings on the phone do not format in a laptop.

Go to settings, controls one handed operation. You can set the screens to do that by swiping in..

I assume it must be checked on but there are other options and some basic gesture information

Andy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
The gesture for one hand operation is ...

Swipe from the right edge to the middle of the screen then back to the edge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 22stars:
Thanks for this, just bought the Note 3 and I love it.

Coming from the Galaxy Nexus, I was really hungry for a new lean rom - this one does the trick pretty excellently!

just a few questions though, I hope someone could answer:

1. when I was 1st setting this up (5.4 and then 5.5) i received a phone call, and the call screen that popped up was different - there were orange/red circles facing either direction to either answer or decline the call, not the answer screen i was used to - I must have changed something though, because now it looks like the ones I am used to from Jelly Bean and Kit Kat - is there any way to revert to that? (or am I just crazy?)

2. is 5.8 KitKat (4.4.2)? or is it still 4.3?

3. in the first couple of posts that have been updated, I see you have also updated the install instructions, are gapps included? or do we need to flash those after we flash the rom?

4. what kernels are inclded in the aroma installer for 5.8?

5. and finally, when you adjust the DPI down to 320, or any variation other than 480 really, the dialer screen, the answer screen, and other items appear off center - is there any way to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
1. Depends on which dialer you use.

2. 4.3

3. Included.

4. Freezas and stock

5. The common cause of this is not fixing permission before reboot.

The 5.8 install is much better.

The installer basically tells you what to do.

Should be pretty easy just read the pop ups.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xeonbuilder:
is there an updater to go from 5.5 to 5.8 or do we go with the full install from scratch?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
When you install, the directions are there on what to do.

What are everyone's preferred settings for loudest audio without distortions? My audio seems muffled. Can that be because of my otterbox defender?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
You might try it out of the case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] adventure95004:
I have an OB defender and mine sounds OK, the speaker hole is pretty big but is easy to cover. I came from an HTC one so was a little spoiled on sound.. I activated everything but made sure not to increase any bass, try using the equalizer to boost the higher end just a little, but not too much or it will sound tinny . I have not been impressed with the N3 even with no case.

hey, thanks a ton for getting back to me.

unfortunately, when trying to flash back to a nandroid i got stuck into a particularly nasty bootloop - i even odined back to stock, still no luck.

any ideas? - otherwise i'm going to wipe it and go back to sprint in hopes they will replace it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 22stars:
EDIT: nevermind all that, brought her back from the brink of death - will try 5.8 out later today, thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sniperkill:
So for everyone who installed 5.8, you guys aren't having any problems with no service? Cuz I flashed part 1 and rebooted as per the instructions. Then I flashed part 2 and I chose everything stock except for the dark menu's. I then fixed permissions and rebooted and no matter what configuration I use in aroma I keep getting com.android.phone fc's. And after I flashed part 1 and let my phone reboot, everything worked as expected, but after flashing part 2 I get the com.android.phone fc's and the no service with an "X" just above my signal bars. Not to mention when I try to update profile and prl my settings app fc's. Anyone else having similar problems?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 22stars:
Not at all, actually I've been showing full service, SMS, data, and phone all great on 5.8 - what kernel did you use and what dialer are you using?

did you wipe fully before flashing?

this commonly popped up on other phones/roms I have flashed to when the flash was dirty or when the ramdisk for the kernel/boot image didn't match the version of android that was being updated.

I would suggest you re-download (just in case you got a bad DL) and then make sure you wipe the phone fully before trying again. just my two cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] adventure95004:
Working good for me too, +2 on

a full wipe before installing. I am NOT technical at all but have had good luck backing up all my apps with Titanium doing a factory wipe and then installing and then restoring apps from titanium.

This is the first rom I have had no problems with and everything has worked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I believe there is an issue with the clear dialer.

Choose the dark one or choose leave alone. See if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Nickitt:
Hello folks, have been running 5.5 for quiet sometime now and I'm surprised I've ran a Rom thus far! This Rom kept me from going back to straight stock and I'm still loving it to this day!

I haven't been on XDA for a little while due to me becoming a father!

I'm back now to see a few more builds that have came up since I've been gone.

I see the new 5.8 update and next to it, it says no need for prev versions. I go to the last page of the thread and see people talking about installing previous versions and then 5.8 update.

I don't want to mess anything up on my phone so I'm here to ask how to exactly do this. I'm on 5.5 at the moment and want to install the 5.8 Rom. I'll backup my sms/mms and all of my applications.

I read through the OP along with #2 and #3 but the way it is set up is VERY confusing and somewhat doesn't make sense.

If anyone could please reply to me and help me out here. Will be on stand by before I flash this Rom, it is downloaded and ready to be installed.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
[MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION] just got into 4G service downloaded, will flash shortly

also sent you a pm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I do need to re write the op.

For 5.8

All you need is that zip.

It's both a full install, an updater, and a set of optional add ons.

The installer has instructions build in.

It has two parts once you flash. It will tell you what to do.

If coming from 5.5 or any other rom.

I recommend wiping data/factory reset in twrp.

Flash part 1

Boot.

Flash part 2.

You can most probably get away without wiping data. But if you have issues that would be the first thing to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] adventure95004:
Just a reminder and a thought if you started on 5.4 and you have been downloading all the updates you may want to look in your download folder and delete some of the old versions I wondered why I was running out of memory lol

Yes I have a ton of junk on my phone as well :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Nickitt:
The part 1 and part 2 were messing me up but you clarified that it is all in the 5.8 Rom.

I greatly appreciate the quick response, will report back once everything is finalized.

Thank you and I cannot thank you enough for what you contribute to this forum, unbelievably amazing. +1

Very happy camper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Nickitt:
Exceptional

All is perfectly well, very snappy and can tell a significant difference coming from 5.5

Did exactly as you stated.

Was running 5.5

Backed up 5.5, backed up sms, and all my applications with titanium backup.

Booted to recovery, wiped data and factory reset the device.

Went to install, 5.8. Aroma popped up, pressed part 1, proceeded to next and install. Rebooted to Rom.

Then booted back into recovery, went to install, 5.8, Aroma popped up again, pressed part 2, add what you like.

Hit home button on bottom left once part 2 is installed, went to advanced and pressed fix permissions.

Rebooted and blammo! Fast and snappy, wonderful Rom MJ.

Can't wait for other releases, I tend to stay away from test builds just because of the fact that there are and may be bugs. I like the stable builds :)

Wouldn't have a stable without the test builds.

Props go to you, may buy you a beer sometime in the very near future sir.

I really want a new Rom i am not in love with the 1 i am on right now but it was easy and had the most views in its thread. But there seems to be a little more to this than i am use to. I am use to download zip put it on the root of the phone and flash it reboot. But i really am not getting the how to coming from another Rom.

In fact looking at other roms i am not in love with there look either so kinda stuck.Anyway again not really sure coming from a different rom what i have to do in order to get this rom on my phone. Is it that much harder?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I don't think this one is that much harder.

The new installer for 5.8 has the instructions on what to do.

Basically if coming from another rom.

I recommend you wipe data.

Then flash 5.8.zip like normal in twrp.

The installer will pop up a list.

Press install part 1.

Read the pop ups.

Reboot to system.

Reboot recovery.

Flash 5.8.zip

Press install part 2.

Read the pop ups.

Choose your options by clicking choices in a menu.

Fix permission in twrp before reboot.

Reboot to system

Done.

I did do a full wipe. And I tried all the kernels. Ive pinpointed it to the second flash process. So I flashed everything stock and everything seems to be fine, except for the Market seems to want to ***** at me every time I try to download one of my apps. It will download one or two fine, then it will give me a error on one or two. I have to try to download it a few times before it will download for me

I always full wipe unless im installing a theme. This is the only release that ive had problems with. Im gonna try redownloading and see if that helps. Thanks

I have chose the stock dialer. But I like the dark menu's so im trying to find a way to be able to use them.

The dark dialer and menus should work.
