Wondering if the other Rom in question here creating some manipulation to Kernel/Modem so that users don't have an option to run away from their Rom. Asking this question because of the source of the kernel/modem in the rom is still unknown and Doc has tried his level best to explain everything in details.

Edit:

This is what he wrote in his thread, so did he pick up something from S5 Firmware or am I guessing too much?

Also Doc, would you suggest to skip v9 for v8.1 users since not major changes have happened?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
It is working because you have ne1 modem (which requires after vn14)

If truly working then there should be modem from K8

Though before doing anything make backup if efs with Dr. Ketan utility from rom. And keep safely and make a note that this one backup on K8 +ne1 modem from vn.

When you flash k9 you will lose IMEI again. Actually this happened to many here who have flashed vn 14 and then they flash other rom lose IMEI. You are first one who lost it from K8 to k9. Again make sure you have not flashed vn between K8 and k9.because even it happen with this rom it should happen only you downgrade. Flashing k9 shouldn't cause it.

Also there are hundreds of Download and no one have reported it. Even myself tried and no issue at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can skip if changelog is ok to skip. But shouldn't worry about imei if you haven't flashed other rom between. I have tried myself and no issue on k9 with included modem or other older modem too. I have tried myself three times. Except above case there is no one have reported. Above case is not pure bcoz if it is so then updating to k9 shouldn't lose IMEI. If k9 have issue then downgrading from k9 will cause issues but I have tested myself that too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:
Thanks. Putting v9 on download and will do a clean install tomorrow. Before that will take another fresh EFS Backup on v8.1.

Samsung keeps playing with the most important thing of a phone - EFS. One of the biggest reason people are moving to other devices like HTC, LG, Nexus or Xperia which doesn't have any such issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
No no it shouldn't be from s5 but actually different ne3 which is yet not released on sammobile.

Leaked means, this rom may release as official or may never release. (I have seen turkey rom on non English forum today which is different from one available on sammobile)

If Samsung is responsible for implementing this change we all face same scenario from next official version.

If not then this used version is not good and Samsung dropout it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yeah precautionary make efs backup on K8.1 and 9 (use Dr. Ketan utility) or efs Tool from play store by me.

And move backup to safe place.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:
Ok thanks. Just last Off Topic question. Which device are you planning to upgrade to in future from Note 3, so I'll also follow you there. What's the ones in your radar for 2014?

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] haybill:
I am going to upgrade from K.8.1 to K9--I have a backup of my EFS from 8.1, in Ext SD card, and since I have NOT tried any other ROMs on my N900 other than K.6, K.7 K.8 and K8.1--I am fairly confident that there should be zero problems.

Sorry for all who have issues after flashing the VN ROM--

Glad that I stuck to the great Dr. Ketan ROMs for my beloved N900.

How do I install the themes in post #7?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Rasool-Hamilton:
Simply download and put it in your phone and then install them from recovery and install zip part.

After flashing you need to put the background for holo from wanam xposed/theme/system holo dark background ...

I've tried bluo'z theme on K.8.1 thats perfect....

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Thanks DR for having really pefect support to us and make everything clear and sharing your knowledge freely with us ...

Doc you absolutely offer not flashing the new V14 VN rom ha? Some of my friends are in love with this rom, as I used to be, but I couldn't even think of going back to any other rom after flashing Ketans's rom...

thats really strang why it happend to VN Rom ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I can't say user to not flash a particular ROM when author of that ROM don't justify it to withdraw.

I warn user who want to flash VN ROM 14.1 they have two option after flashing V14.1

They continue using it without issue, but If they want to flash any other ROM around here,

-they have to flash NE1 modem

OR

-They have to restore EFS backup which made before flashing VN ROM V14
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Rasool-Hamilton:
No need to wipe for installing theme... simply just install with no wipe and enjoy ... you won't lose any data , but it is logical to make a nandroid backup from recovery before flashing theme to make your heart sure :)

Yeah ... thanks ...

One of the VN teams members could restore his baseband to old one using efs backup as you suggested ...

But , a question is here ... this process, I mean flashing NE1 Modem ,

is going on up to when? Is it going to be Ok after releasing new modem or same NE1 Modem officially by samsung ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] iba21:
All android phones have EFS folder.. htc too..

If you didn't bakcup it with other phones it means you didn't know there is the possibility do brake phone codes

Tecnically i could create a zip package witch contains a broken .img of hboot and recovery, if you flash it, boom, you brick the phone

:D

The only difference in samsung phones is they doesen't have a security permission in nand partitions as htc have..

I'm meaning.. you could change all nand partitions from the first time.. with htc you have to turn the security off (s-off) and after that you could modify all

And when i say all.. i'm meaning.. IMEI TOO ;)

I did it, it's absolutely easy, and, here in italy is not illegal, but in many states is, so, i will not explain how to do it, but, you only need ADB commands :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
It depends on next release of samsung, let's wait and watch.

If this implemented by samsung we all have this scenario on all rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] iba21:
Read 2 pages ago

Probably it's a leaked, probably it's a test, probably it's a broken immage with a different build number only for flasholic people :D

ex.. if i have 2 roms, the same roms, with 2 different build number, what will you chose?

The rom with an higher build number.. why? Becaus you think it will be better.. but.. if it's the SAME rom :p

Anyway who knows what radio partition do? Because.. all wants to upgrade the radio, but, are there someone who knows what that radio partition do?

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Rasool-Hamilton:
You can use "app Quarantine pro" to turn both easy and normal TW Launchers off ....

But before you need to tic the system services from "settings/advanced" in program in order to show all the system apps in program ...

Which is more stable?

K 8.1 or K 9.0 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] raied115:
I think it's related to the Modem of the K9 rom.

When I install the ROM, in aroma I selected the "Modem of this ROM", and now I get full (!!!) reception in places were I didn't had reception at all!

At least, that's what the status bar signal would show... If that ia the case, I can bare this problem...

Interesting...

EFS restore problem

Sir, I flashed VN V14 due to which i got NE1 modem i do have old efs backup but i dont know how to restore it. I have a folder in sdcard "efs_Backup" it has 4 .Tar.gz files in it please help me restore them..

I am currently on dr ketan 8.1 and NE1 modem..
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Are you sure you have made efs backup before flashing v14? Otherwise it won't work.

Tell me which Tool you have used to backup it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] TurkXtreme:
What do you suggest mr ketan?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] muhammad zakir:
Sir i dont remember which tool i used..:( and yes 2 files are dated as 23 april 14 and 2 are dated as 25 may 14 so that means they are old..i never made these backups but i do make backup before flashing rom in aroma so i think they came from there..

if u did a backup with dr.ketan's multitool when flashing one of his roms before you can find the efs backup in Myefs folder in your internal storage... then choose restore EFS when installing the rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] muhammad zakir:
yes i have myefs folder but its on my external sdcard..
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
can you attach screen shot of folder yhat having all files?

I needs to know name of files including extension and size of files. If you attach screenshot select detail view so i can get idea.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
can you tell me which file there in MyEFS folder? give me date too
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] muhammad zakir:
Sir i am uploading both screen shots..one of extSdcard and other of internal..
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] TurkXtreme:
which sound mod do you prefer?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Nice !

MyEFS can be very useful

First copy this My EFS folder to PC and keep it safe. Also make one copy on IntSD and attach build.prop file you have inside MyEFS (you can copy/paste text too of build prop if you can't attach)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] muhammad zakir:
Sir i copied My EFS to PC and IntSD..and build.prop file is already in the Myefs folder..:/
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I mean i want to read what is there in buil.prop. either attach here or copy/paste text.

You are 2 steps away from cleaning your device. it will take just 10min once i read build.prop

And you are on My ROM K8.1 correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Ok this backup you have made on Jellybean

But i don't think it have any issue.

Now follow carefully what i say it will take 10 min and i am waiting for your answer.

First go to Dr.Ketan utility -Task-long press icon near backup EFS - you will get efs.img on root directory of you IntSD (for safety we making current backup)

do this and tell me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] muhammad zakir:
done sir..
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Now move two file (efs.img and there will one more file along with it created to new folder and name it to New EFS) and make copy on both int and ext SD , tell me when done
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] muhammad zakir:
copied both files into new EFS folder sir..done

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
Hello Doc,

Installed the K9 (by the way - change in the title the 8.1 to 9).

ROM is rock. I don't know why but even if you see no improvement in the code of ROM, for me it is becoming better and better - thank you for this (and Samsung probably).

Small issue I had in the morning: as I'm in the trip, I connect to hotel wifi. And it has automatic open of internet browser in order to complete a form and get access. Issue: when it is automatically opened , there is FC.

I finally managed to connect to another wifi. .. and installed another browser. (This is S5 browser).

I can test one more time in the evening. If you want me to test a specific case, please let me know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Now i think you are on K8.1 OK? then re run aroma and skip everything except modem section and select 'flash Modem of this ROM' option and flash

-When device will boot you won't have network and lose IMEI

-Your baseband will be changed from NE1 to other (I think K8.1 have NC1)

confirm this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] aamir2day:
I removed and added google account but message n call logs still dont recognise contacts. Had dirty flashed 9 on 8.1..

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
yeah it could be, If ROM have issue then everyone should have it.

This ROM pushing some data to data folder that could precipitate errors. May be other ROM you have flashed may not have any data app in ROM. So issue should be some data link error.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] losta:
I've had similar problems before. Im not sure if this is the proper solution but it worked for me twice. Go to android/data on your internal storage and look up for com.android.gallery3d. Just delete cache folder using root explorer or similar apps. And reboot your device. But just to be on the safe side always provide a nandroid backup of your rom if you havent.

Good Morning! Dr.Ketan,

I am not able to use Screen mirroring of note 3 n9000 rooted with Sony tv where as n9500 which was at the showroom was working. It says hardware issue after trying to connect for few seconds.

Is it because of rooted phone?If I flash your rom does it support the screen mirroring?

Can anyone add poppuri mod to this had tried d other mod but it somehow stopped my wifi working so if anyone hv any suggestions plzzzzz do share

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Can you be more specific? which mod not working apart from battery mod?

Have you read OP how to use battery mod?

Have you flash any theme with vrtheme?

vrtheme causing this on any 4.3.

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Make sure you are not using other battery mod like xposed module or other

otherwise wipe cache and factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] ididnotgetabetterid:
Nop. Coming from a stock rooted MJ7.no mods at all. will try wiping cache and factory reset (I dont really want to do this)

Ok this may sound really strange. After replying to your msg I went back to my phone to see the battery icon on the status bar :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] baris_76:
Tried this one too. Same issue continues.

It may be because of data link as you said. Even when i take a photo or try to change the wallpaper, it gives the same not enough memory error. As many applications use gallery app for default for viewing photos, it became very annoying.

I like your rom, everything is smooth except this issue, thanx for your efforts. But because of this issue i reverted back to lidroid rom, no issues so far. Waiting for a new solution..
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
export contact from contact application then clear data of contact and contact storage from app manager

Then import contact from where you exported.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Don't worry it is normal

Now copy efs.img file from your MyEFS folder (which i said you made on jellybean) to root directry of IntSD card (same place where you created backup in previous step)

After this again go to DrKetan utilties-Task-long press icon near RESTORE EFS

once you get msg EFS is restored - reboot device and you should have IMEI and network back

Confirm this.

Apps FC on EXT2 partition with Link2SD

Doctor, Kudos to your mighty 8.1 ROM. Impeccable as always!

The imp question is where can I read more about you, your profession, place and hobbies. Found so many profiles in FB but not sure if that's you.

Ok, now coming to the least bothered question ;)

> How can I make Link2SD work with this 8.1 ROM? I remember making it work on your JB ROMs but haven't tried this again until now. I think I know what I was doing and did that right in creating a partition of 2GB (1.98) in EXT2 format just to be sure that your ROM supports without any kernel support. Link2SD (pro) mounted it correctly and believing it blindly, I just linked all moveable apps to this partition to find that everyone of them FC. I did all trouble shooting and did not make it to work.

So decided to remove the link and to my surprise the FC did not stop. Then your utilities app saved me from the FC. However not even a single android app works (always FC) when I link them to the partition though it is correctly linked and moved to Ext drive.

Is there anything that I should understand about this ROM or this application to work?

Thanks for all your invaluable support to this community again :)

This is very well explained. Once you have flashed latest VN ROM and if you flash other ROM you will lose IMEI

Two things will help you.

1.Get NE1 modem from VN ROM V14 and flash nit. (you needs it to use with any other ROM currently available)

2.If you have old EFS backup which you have made before flashing VN ROM, restore it.
