MJ if I flash Goddly's mod will it F-up your permissions?

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] WeSiDe:
Permission to ask that question denied.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Unknown. I have not looked at it.

Probably ok though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I have everything stock in my Dropbox, unzipped and at the ready at all times. Here's the problem with your question, however. Just like randomly deleting apks from system if you're running stock rooted instead of freezing them is contraindicated for most (see the Q&A forum for reference), putting them in works the same way.

Put in an apk that has dependencies, but leave those dependencies out (assuming you don't know those, and few devs knows all of them), and the app will just create chaos (force closes, the app not showing up in the app drawer, random reboots, &c). Some are safe...perhaps the calculator, I don't know.

Take for example the awesome video player (I like being able to stick a video on the screen and resizing it at will). On one of the roms on this forum, it just wouldn't function, until one dang library file was swapped out. It runs perfectly now. That library file was on the rom, but it was a different file size. Swapping them out and rebooting fixed the issue immediately. I have no idea how long it took to find the fix, or how the different one got in there, but I don't care. It now works and I'm happy. I'm not a dev, and respect those whom are. It's also why I don't like messing with system apps unless I am upgrading an inverted app that has been tested, or if I can be fairly certain of the behavior to expect.

Safest to ask, backup, freeze, test and hope for the best.

I can attest to the can of worms the stock apps and dependencies create.

Huge pita sometimes.

Even when you mostly know what your doing, and armed with all the proper tools, it can be a daunting task hunting some of them down.

I'll add making a samsung app zip to my list.

Though in this case if i remember correctly provided you get all the apps labeled samsung_xxx.apk you should be ok.

I don't believe they have any dependencies that have been otherwise removed.

Though no promises on that I bet it would work.

(From memory I haven't actually looked at my dependency tree today)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrofeoSC:
Any ideas on the Copilot and Google Search FCs, as I guess I am the only one who is having the problem. I wiped x3 and installed the whole set again and I still have the same problem/??????????

I am sure it is something simple that I am doing wrong.

Thank you very much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'm messing with copilot now.

I was sure I had it working previously.

I should have a solution at some point for that in the next 24 hours.

As far as Google search.

Try delete velvet. Apk from /system

Then reinstall from market.

Though Google search should be working.

I can confirm the force close on copilot.

Normally I wouldn't be so slow with a solution, this week has just been kind of hectic for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrofeoSC:
I understand fully. Family first. A little sickness for fun and life also goes on.

Thank you for all you are doing for us!!!!!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] astonmartin214:
is there a kit kat ROM out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
Huh ... Really?¿????

Here?¿???????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] astonmartin214:
well yes I'm looking for & it's not in the Android Development section
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
there is no fully working 4.4 build for the note 3 that i have seen.

official word has been something like 1st quarter 2014 for the note 3 to get an official sammy build.

rumor has it that some builds will be getting it in january at some point.

though who knows how long it will take to get an official sprint build out.

i would love to be wrong, maybe someone has built up a working 4.4, i just havent seen it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] T3CHW0LF:
You are right about a official Sammy build. As for 4.4 builds Cyanogen Mod released the source code for CM11 for the Note3 just recently. There's a thread in the general section about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Well don't tell me that...

Guess I need to go explore the possibilities of said scenario.

How often are you going to make public builds? Only been using it for a whole day but I got great battery life today. Stoked for more!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] radar369:
Here goes a stupid question for you:

How do I get the date. time...........the circle battery meter and the 0.0B/s from off of the top of the screen? Combed the phone 360 and don't see any settings for it!

T.I.A.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
Hey radar369 ... The settings stored on the modules installed on exposed installer app.

Open the app called exposed installer ... Find modules click on it and there you see all the modules. From there find the mudules you need and turn off mods to your liking.

Sorry I'm not very detailed but it will help you get started...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] luisrod03:
I have problems downloading the rom... When I download the rom i get the message download starting and few secods later i get error 406 to try again, but when I try to download another rom it works... Do you have a mirror link for the rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Yup all those settings can be found under

Xposed installer> modules

All but network speed are options I. The wanam module.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
The limiting factor for public builds is my availability of a normal Internet connection.

Though I have been getting better about update zips instead of full roms for the test group.

Maybe some of that will filter down sooner rather than later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Thank you kindly. Be on the lookout for an email with a thank you note and possibly an invitation to the test folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Sorry at the moment the is the only link.

I'll be adding it to goo manager at some point also.

Maybe a different browser.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Just Downloaded...

MJ: I just downloaded to my laptop (direct ethernet connection), and to my phone using both Chrome and Boat Browser (WiFi), with speeds averaging 1.8MB-3.8MB/sec. All three downloads simultaneous and through to completion, MD5s match on all three downloads, called file host, and they indicate that there are zero issues on their end. Please try from a different browser or your computer.

[MENTION=3337862]luisrod03[/MENTION], please let me know the browser you are using and I'll test it.

MD5 for Public V5.0 = FCE7AACBDDBA56683E716A9F2D50D8E0

DropBox link here for those having issues with the current storage provider
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
You sir are awesome.

I also have had zero issue downloading from your host.

And I think that is only the second report ever of someone having issues downloading.

I can also report full success using the chrome browser and

Windows 8, xp and 7, Linux (ubuntu), and multiple android devices.

All have completed without issue on my end also.

My general answer to this is usually, sorry for the inconvenience, and to recommend using Chrome browser from a windows machine if possible.

It would be nice to have a few mirrors, though due to band with and technical limitations on my end, it's much more convenient for me anyway to have things in one spot.

Of course if it didn't take me a full 24 hours to upload a rom things may be different.

At some point as this rom matures I'd like to get it it's own Web page I guess, though that's a future plan.

So a giant thank you again [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] without whom no one would be able to get this rom at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] radar369:
OH WOW.....................lot of stuff in there! I have to take some time out to sift through all of that stuff and see what it does! No need to say "sorry"...........that DEFINITELY helped me and it's a good start! Thank you!

Best rom I've flashed so far mjcollum! Surprisingly I haven't ran into any problems with this rom yet! You got a late Christmas present coming your way...............................as soon as I find out how to send it! LOL! :silly:

Um okay, this is an issue I Have noticed for a while on different phones and Roms, When ever I'm talking to sprint on my phone i am unable to send text messages to anyone. I started Noticing it about 3 years ago. The sprint techs don't know how to fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] WeSiDe:
I was the first to not be able to download. :) I was messing with different DNS server settings on a network using a pair of routers in a cascaded lan to lan configuration. Go figure. Download still should a worked! (That last part I'm only kidding.)

I can put a mirror up. Would need someone to make for me or give me some direction on a index.html for a frontend. I got a dreamhost shared server for personal use and nothing to do with it. Unlimited space and bandwidth.

For everyone else. My Christmas break is officially over.

I will be returning to work on android stuff nearly full time starting tomorrow.

Hopefully I can get a lot of the random almost done stuff out.

And catch up on requests and update zip packages.

I get unable to mount usbstorage while installing and I wait a few minutes. Nothing. Just says failed. What do I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
First.

Ignore the unable to mount usb. It's meaningless.

Second look back 2 or 3 posts micmars posted a md5.

Make sure yours matches.

Also be sure to reboot recovery between wipes.

If in doubt. Follow the step by step instructions in post 2.

Make sure to do each thing in order exactly.

No skipping steps. There is a reason for each.

Anyway of getting the hotspot apk? 5.3 seems to have broken mine. I am getting that I am not subscribed error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Thats odd. When I get home this evening I'll post one.

Though I have a thread in the dev section with just the wifi hack of you need it. Use the deodex one it will work on this.

5.4 will be a full build only and not an update just to get everyone back on 100% the same page.

5.4 will be just 5.3 with a few minor bug fixes and no added features.

5.4 will be available to everyone.

At right around the same time 5.5 will be an update zip for 5.4 that just adds new features.

This should make my life easier and get everyone back on the same page.

Next 24 hours or so.

Lost Root

Good Morning Lady and Gents -

This morning (somehow) I lost "root". I have not applied the root process to my phone since it were initially released. Now, I have to do it over again I am super nervous, the first time I use the root_de_la vega process and it worked like a charm. I was super nervous the first and now even more nervous this time around. I remember a special odin was used (I can't find it), firmware specifically for the Sprint Variant and last two file added to the root of the phone reboot then delete then and reboot again. I remember the process the troubling part is what to download the de_la_vega thread :crying::crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Since knox is already tripped there is no need for De Las vega.

If you still have custom recovery (twrp)

Then just installing this rom again should give you root back it's included in the full builds.

Or if everything else is good and you don't want to re install.

Use the cf auto root in the of dev section.

De Las vega (which I have used also previously) is needlessly complex if you don't need to keep knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
YES,... I found De La Vega very complicated but I'd muddle through it with no issues. I will wait for the next build to flash.

Thank you and I am sorry to use your thread for help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Not at all. That's what it's here for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
5.4 ....

Does anyone really use any of the added busybox calls, above and beyond the standard ones?

If you don't know what I mean the answer is no. :)

I'm betting most people don't, I will be removing some of the extra calls for 5.4

For most 99% this will have no effect.

Anyone using the expanded busybox calls in the terminal or what have you can easily install them using any of the market installers.

No regular apps should be calling these anyway.

And they have only been included since 5.2 or so anyway.

Will just be rolling back to a slightly improved version of the pre 5.0 calls.

If anyone thinks this will be an issue for them speak now or forever hold your peace (or at least until we decide it's actually an issue)

As an FYI, Nova Prime and other launcher replacements also have this setting (Nova under Gestures and Buttons), long press home button can be remapped, just in case one is on your phone and you have it set to anything other than system default.

Happy New Year to all! Been away for awhile due to health reasons. But all was not lost as I was able to clean install 5.2 and restore my data with a minimal dependency on TB data restore making this the cleanest install thus far. Man, I can't get over how technically perfect this ROM has turned out. Besides the skill and attention to detail that has gone into this rom I especially like that there is no room wasted with an overwhelming amount of the latest and greatest mods or over the top theming. It has only what is needed for the rom to work at peak efficiency and leaves room for individualization so that the rom can be a reflection of your personal taste and not that of the dev.

This is not my first trip to the Rodeo. I've been a technology professional for almost thirty years and I've had most of the flagship devices over the past ten years and have usually fiddled around with all of my devices seeking that ever elusive state of perfection. I have to say, objectively, that I have attained that level of perfection with the combination of the Beast and MiniN3. This is my definition of perfection of course, YMMV. Kudos to MJ's mad skills and this user group and the product of a collaborative effort.

Right before my absence I remember the beginnings of a thread about not being able to get rid of the time and temperature lockscreen widget. I went back in the thread trying to locate it without success. Was this ever resolved and can someone point me in the general direction of the discussion regarding this issue? I'd love to get rid of that widget and would prefer to dip so without having to resort to a lockscreen replacement app.

Many thanks and, MJ keep up the outstanding work. I've got another little bit of sipping whiskey fundage coming your way in the next week or so (shameless palm greasing). :)

Sorry for the long post. Blame it on the meds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
ill be back on in a few minutes to read back through any missed posts, and pop out some answers.

just cause i havent been posting though doesn't mean i havent been working.

there has been another almost complete re-write of the base system...

(there were some potential issues that may or may not have been causing little problems)

so...

5.4 is done (i'm just retesting everything now)

5.4 should be the most stable and compatible release to date.

there should also be improvements in ...

phone speed, battery use, wifi, bluetooth, and data handling.

more tweaks to audio stuff in preperation for including settings for viper (viper is all working now though at the moment you must pick your own drivers and settings, cortex with neon for xhifi and personal preference for the regular driver)

5.4 will become the base build for everyone.and will be a FULL INSTALL ONLY. (sorry about that but it was needed)

(5.5 update, which will be new theme stuff,and added features for tester group today/tomorrow)

also minimus v1 is done and will get posted to that thread.

also will try and get a bunch more update zips out today.

and need to re-write both ops.

and catch up on some paperwork,oragnizational stuff (yuck,my least favorite part)

anything that hasn't worked up to this point should now function properly, though i think we've been pretty stable for a couple builds now.

so be on the lookout this evening for updated builds (they are done, jayme and i will try and run into town for a quick dinner at a mcdonald or some such so we can upload them)

thanks everyone
