[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vannuzzo:
wifi problem

hi can you help me too? I installed the DN3 v3 but the wifi disconnects all the time, and tells me poor connection, you have some better fix that solves?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hosgor45:
There is a wifi fixer. Dr. Keaton ' s solution. You can find it on the first page of the op on Ditto Note 3. That's how I fixed mine
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vannuzzo:
I've used it, but it continues to do this, then something else is not working the screen with the palm of your hand
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobytenacious:
v3 is the beastest rom i've tried yet on my note 2, hands down. zero flaws in my book. and battery life actually improves from stock. unprecedented awesomeness
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hosgor45:
I agree. Great Rom. Wonder what would they add for the next update :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrustmaster23:
What should they include? It's perfect right now. Maybe lowering down the ram usage, but still I'm more them happy with it now :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limpeon:
Still a problem connecting to wifi

Takes lot of time to connect to wifi or else it'll not even connect and display "Failed To Obtain IP"...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meriem:
Flash DN3 v3 via recovery.

Flash MJ5 bootloader via Odin (bootloader tab).

Wifi granted.

Long time in finding wifi spot means your router has blocking settings or your wifi spot is misconfigured.

Are you with DHCP?

Any blocking port setup on router security settings?

You should chekt it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzjsanandres:
Is there any other way to flash MJ5? I've tried Odin using my laptop but it cannot detect my device. (I don't know why but I have all latest usb drivers installed. Installed latest version of Kies but still can't detect my device. I think my phone's usb port is the problem, because it only charges via usb(460mA) even if its connected to AC.) Btw, so I resorted using Odin Mobile to flash MJ5, again, still no wifi.

Help please.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
This is the stock Mms.apk from the Nexus 4 KitKit release themed dark, using the gradient background. The only holo blue in the app is remnants left in by Google. So far, it is only tested on my stock rooted deodexed rom. Unfortunately this stock version lacks features, but I needed something dark for now. I will attempt to add mods and features to this or find a different base to use. I will be working on a bubble version of this and will also be working on porting my 4.3 version to KitKat.

Disclaimer- As always, keep a nandroid back up on hand before flashing or pushing to system and keep a backup of your stock Mms.apk also. I take no responsibility for any issues you encounter. Flash at your own risk.

Updates

11/21 - Initial release

11/22 - Background and text color in number picker, when selecting message limits in the settings menu, themed to where the text and numbers are visible. Header and footer are located in the framework and could not be themed, as is when selecting ringtone.

Installation

(1) Flash the zip file in recovery or

(2) Extract and push the Mms.apk to system/priv-app, set permissions if needed, and reboot.

*If using a odexed rom, you will need to rename/remove the mms odex file.

Lol. Actually, they are all relatives.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
You have this going in several threads. I will be happy to chip in some support, but I prefer to keep it out of here and I will reply in the other threads dedicated to that mod. Looks like whatever edits you made in the manifest didn't work as they should.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Op updated. I was able to fix the number picker when setting max messages in the settings menu, but it seems the footer and header are framework controlled. Nonetheless, you can now see all the numbers and it looks better. This is something rarely used anyways. Once you set it, it is there.

I got this recompiled after trying to add bubbles. I cant get it to work though
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
try renaming msg_bubble_left to hairline_left and msg_bubble_right to hairline_right in the drawable-hdpi folder

or in the layout folder look for message_list_item_recv and message_list_item_send and on line 8 and look for hairline_right and hairline_left and replace them with msg_bubble_left and msg_bubble_right.

Fully functional or not, why are you posting them here? Also, I notice you are posting the same thing in at least five different threads. You should just start a thread of your own.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Shoot

Apologies man. I did start a couple threads and am partaking in like three. Ill stop posting it here. My bad. If you have time to help ,could you bounce over to the thread ? Sorry again dude.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Post here if it is relevant to my work. I have have been working on this version and also attempting to port over my 4.3 version in between. I found a 4.3 version that installs and sends and receives fine. It has pop up reply that is functioning good, but opening from the notification panel for some reason is a no go. I'm seeing posts that the CM version works, but I haven't had a chance to look under the hood with that one. I took the weekend off.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Hmmm. Did you check the preference XML under res?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Don't think it is with that XML. It was most likely with the quick reply popup. I have ditched that base for being to buggy. I have my bubble version up and running for this current base. I had it under test and have one tweak to do to it. I also need to decide on the color scheme I will use for release. It should be released tomorrow. Then I will switch my attention to new bases, including further attempts of porting my 4.3 version.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Kick Axe man. Are you gonna theme for custom bubble option,or just do one variant only ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Don't know how to add a color picker and not even sure if that would work on 4.4, but changing the bubble look would just be a matter of changing bubble pngs in drawable and text colors in the xmls or changing the background color within the outline bubbles I use along with text colors.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
I'm looking forward to whatever you create man. And yeah,4.4 is killing me in regards to modding and theming. Too many difficulties to bother trying to mod stuff ....
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Did you include this i your manifest:

<service android:name=".HeadlessSmsSendService"

android:permission="android.permission.SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE"

android:exported="true" >

<intent-filter>

<action android:name="android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

<data android:scheme="sms" />

<data android:scheme="smsto" />

<data android:scheme="mms" />

<data android:scheme="mmsto" />

?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
That particular base I used was a 4.4 base, so the manifest was already correct. In fact, after testing the CM base last night, I realize it is the same base as the CM one. It seems to function better after the CM team put their hands on it, but the read button is still dead from the notification panel and the lockscreen wake flashes twice along with the double vibrate. Still, it is better no quick reply at all, I just hate having bugs.

Speaking of bugs, my bubble version of this base is delayed for now. It is fully functional, except for one bug. The send bubble is stretching on it's own dependent on scrolling of the messages panel. When opening the messages panel, a short message sent will display wrapped correctly. Then, when scrolling up and back down to the same message, the bubble will be stretched. It doesn't do it with every message, just certain ones. This is a weird behavior I have not seen on any previous versions of Android.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xdevillived666:
Odd

ah,okay. As for the bug,check /Res/Layout/message_list_item_ send.xml and at "android:layout_height="@dimen/avatar_width_height" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" ,change "true" to "false" if you havent done so already:) Dont know if that will help ya or not
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Avatars are removed. I've done it the way I have always done it. Like I said, it will display fine. Then when scrolling the panel, the bubble will stretch on it's own. Closing and reopening will fix it, only to get messed up again when scrolling. There is also no consistency with the messages it happens to. No pattern to be found. Really odd behavior I have not seen before.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Wonderful news guys!! I have successfully ported the 4.3 base I use to 4.4. Now I feel like I wasted my time with this featureless 4.4 base in this thread. This means that soon you will see my 4.3 themed apps linked below on 4.4. This will bring back in app emojis, smileys, breathing notification, and quick reply to KitKat thru the stock messaging app. All I need to do is relocate the quick reply box higher as the keyboard now interferes with it. Stay tuned.

Awesome. I'm gonna try my hand at a build from scratch using 4.4 code and eclipse+SDK. I'm guessing its gonna be a project;)

Quick question

Is there a huge disparity between 4.3 and 4.4 code?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Zehlek:
One in OP fc on Slimkat with Hells kernel and ART
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Then one of the three things, rom, kernel, or ART, is not gonna allow it to function. It is pure stock and the only thing I did was theme it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Zehlek:
For some reason I'm think it is ART. I'm going to try with Dalvik just to see. Do I need the MMS.apk and the mmssigned.apk that is in the zip?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Just the Mms.apk in the priv-app folder.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Zehlek:
It appears to be ART, I switched to Dalvik and now it works
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Great, but that is odd it doesn't work with ART, since it is a stock messaging app. Thanks for reporting.

MMS for 4.4.2

Is there a coming update for this app or one that is made for the 4.4.2

I use this on my 4.4.2 Nexus 4 but was wondering if anything new would be happening?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
It is typically busy and hectic for me this time of year. Things are kind of set aside for now, but I should be back on things in the near future. Also, the 4.4.2 factory image is just released and I want to wait until I'm up and running on it before moving forward. I'm waiting of fireb33 to update his rooted stock rom. I'm still planning on versions of the outline bubbles I like to use. I've actually got the theming completed, but there is still some recoding I need to do. Kitkat is bringing a few challenges.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stefanthehuman:
Thanks for the update!
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
So trying to choose between the Moto X and the Nexus 5, I came across the biggest difference between these phones, their development. Moto X has little to none and Nexus 5 has more than any phone out there. This was an easy win for Nexus 5 I thought. Until I read Moto X users saying that flashing ROMs and kernels are normally to fix issues that the stock versions have and that they don't need Custom ROMs and kernels because what they get is stable, smooth, and lasts long enough (battery wise).

I thought back to why I flash ROMs on Note II and my previous phone SII, and fair enough, I used to do it because I wanted to fix issues that came with stock versions. Now, I hate flashing ROMs, I just want to use my phone. Anyways, looking at the development on the Nexus 5, it seems much of it is to fix the speakers, camera, battery life, etc.

Then I thought that Custom ROMs are important to stay up to date with Google's updates but then Motorola released their update faster than Google did with their Nexus 4. They are also updating their 1.5 year old phones (Not the Razr HD or the Razr HD Maxx probably because of their TI chipset). So it looks like Moto X users are in good hands as far as updates are concerned.

What do you guys think? Would you rather have a fully functional stable stock ROM on a phone that has no development otherwise or would you rather get a phone with tons of development to fix issues that the stock ROM has?

I am asking because there may be an angle to development that I haven't considered. Many customizable things included in ROMs on Nexus 5 are available via Xposed on Moto X.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
That's a very narrow perspective. There are lots of reasons one might want to flash a ROM or kernel; the "one size fits all" mentality of other vendors such as Apple and Microsoft need not apply here. Custom ROMs open the door to different features that the OEM might not have considered or wanted to spend time on, and allow the creativity of the general public to enhance the phone in ways that are unique to them or only fits a certain niche that wouldn't be profitable for a big company to try and cater to. It certainly isn't just about "fixing issues".

Though custom ROMs certainly aren't the only feature I would look for in a phone, I might hesitate before buying a phone that little support or, even worse, a locked bootloader with no current workaround or hack for the simple reason that even if there's nothing I'm interested in today, there might be something cool that I want to try out tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
If you had bought something like the Moto X one year ago, what feature made by the ROM developers on the Nexus 4 would you really want to try out?
[Nexus 5 General] fallingd0wn:
I've been debating this myself. I have a Nexus 5 now that I'm testing with TMO prepaid for a month. So far, the phone is really nice and as you said, the level of development is astounding. BUT, I have to leave VZW in order to keep the phone. That's very hard to do when I get a hefty discount on the service and still have unlimited data. I can get LTE pretty much everywhere I go. With TMO, I'm lucky to get Edge data in some places or even a signal at all inside buildings.

I love the look and feel of the X. It's is a great piece of hardware and with the Dev edition, I could stay on VZW. I also like the fact that it runs basically stock Android along with additions that are actually useful and well done. The dev community is very limited though and will most likely stay that way. Moto was quick to get the 4.4 update out but it remains to be seen if that pace will continue. You would hope so but nothing is guaranteed. The X2 may be out next year putting the update schedule for the current model on the back burner.

I had the original Nexus One and the Galaxy Nexus. I've always been a diehard AOSP guy. Every phone I've owned in between has always been on a custom AOSP based ROM in order to get close to that Nexus experience. I'm attracted to custom ROMs not because they fix bugs, but because they allow me to always stay on a current version of Android (no waiting for carrier updates) and add some nice features to the basic AOSP design. Custom kernels can also improve overall performance and battery life even if you decide to stay stock otherwise. The Nexus line will always have the edge in this regard.

I wanted to be blown away with the N5 and content with TMO but I'm second guessing my decision each day.....
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am running the N5 stock and have no reason to root or flash a custom Rom. Never thought I would say that about my phone but I am actually content with the N5 the way it is. There are some cool features that devs add in but then you get sucked into this never ending flashing frenzy which I have been in for years.

It is good to actually enjoy the phone now and keep the software on it for more then a few days. lol

Anyway, the screen alone on the N5 is enough for what I consider a big step up from the Moto X. I have friends with Moto X's which I actually recommended to them since they are on Verizon and it was being offered for free on contract. I do think it is a great phone with some great features. Not enough there to sway my decision to get one over a N5 though.

I do applaud Motorola for their unbelievable quick update and I bet we start to see some other maunfacturers start stepping up their game as well. We have seen this recently with HTC also.

The question to ask yourself is what is important to you. Another good thing with the Moto X is it generally stocks with the stock Android feel so it almost resembles Nexus software.

Bottom line, when I turn on my N5 after playing with the Moto X, the Moto X does not in any way make me want to buy one for myself.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Why not go to a MVNO that uses AT&T towers? Would still be much chepaer then Verizon and they offer much better coverage then T-Mo.
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
Don't you want to improve the Audio and the battery life by trying out the kernels and the mods made here?

I assume you mean resolution? I was under the impression that 1080p and 720p are not that different under daily usage?
