huh? :confused:

--

ahh now i "get it". Well how do i find out if a command is still running? the command line for cp with auto decline of overwriting is: " yes n | cp -i <source> <target> " .. while "yes n" constantly writes an "n" when the cp command asks for user input. And when the cp is done the "yes" also stops, obviously. How can this be mimicec in a script?

But even with this, there is more to it. Just delete the libs that i listed and then you can try what happens if you copy all the stuff over (without needing to decline anything). But I have not tested this because I always tweak the things on my own rather than to just copy whole folders.

--

I'm pretty busy and if I have to figure out everything on my own then it gets boring quickly (people just want everything spoonfed .. sigh) - I don't even get to use my phone from all the testing and reflashing etc I alrdy did on this.

So someone just needs to be "brave" (odin can always fix this!) to copy a full system folder over his existing ones minus the lib files I listed and report back if it caused any problems or worked alright.

Plus some research on what folders actually get modded by rom brewers so that those that are left untouched can just be left out in the copy process. I always did this so far in my installations.

Compared the folders of stock vs custom rom and checked the file sizes to see if anything changed. Most folders were just the same. Like the /system/vendor/.

So I just left those out in the copy process - but this does not have to be the case for all the roms out there.

--

TLDR: Need to find out if theres anything apart from the libs that shouldnt be overwritten - someone needs to try it. (copy full system folder of a custom rom over his own system folder minus the dangerous libs I listed a few posts back).

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zroice:
well its no rocket science to be honest, so some "help" (its just some dirtywork, nothing that requires much skill) would be cool =).

By the way: this does approach currently completely ignores all aroma installer customizations, those things need to be done by hand..

To be completely honest: It would help everyone more if you guys would just learn to use adb and the terminal - its a hell more fun than to just run premade scripts anyway I tell you. (until you've done it a couple of times, then you need a break lol - like me right now..)

If you manage to install a rom "by hand" this is quite a big ego booster I tell you and you will learn alot along the way. (my "guide" was actually meant to inspire people to try this stuff and work together on finding a nice method to circumvent this warranty void bull****, but I fear this cannot be just baked into a script or app - and even if it would require a hell lot of work to integrate aroma installer too etc.)

But we can certainly create a script to ease up the process. (or to prepare roms to be flashed with flash gordon app)

Hello :)

Like many I'd like to this KNOX system beaten.

I can't help much, but when I saw the "yes" thing I thought I could help.

The yes command basically does this: while true; do echo no; done

So in a script, where <cmd> needs "Y" to confirm some operations, you should be able to use while true; do echo Y; done | <command>

This can be put in a bash function or a script.

Cheers :fingers-crossed:

hi there im from portugal and using vodafone network. my note 3 is unlocked to all operatores. is there a safe way to root and keeping warranty "seal"? if i use the root de la vega and then do the updates it will steel keep the warranty? sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy Note 3 General] evrkusd:
I'm working on a similar process of installing a lightly customized ROM without using a custom recovery or flashing. In my case it's because the bootloader on my device is still locked (galaxy tab 4 10.1 verizon).

Mostly I'll just be removing files I don't want, so I don't think I'll run into any of the lib overwrite issues you were having. I think this makes creating a script file much easier, since I'm just sending rm commands, right? Any idea how I would structure this file to run through adb?

I'm assuming I can do something like this:

mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/lib/modules/*
rm /system/.../*.apk
(rm and other apk files)
rm /system/app/tr.apk (unroot)
rm /system/bin/su (unroot)
rm /system/xbin/su (unroot)
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit

Does that sound doable?

I found the Poetic Palette (says it's for AT&T) case on Amazon and was wondering if it would fit on a T-Mobile G2

Looooove that case....if....it would have fit my T-Mobile G2...poetics ad says "all variants except Verizon" but that isn't true. I ordered one and it didnt snap all the way on. One corner was always floating out of the corner. Such a nice thin case. It is a shame
[G2 Accessories] katamari201:
Do you know why the T-mobile would be different than the AT&T one? Which one would cases for the global model fit on?

There's a leaked Samsung Android 4.4 schedule on the net and it points to January for the S4 and N3. Going by the title at the top of the screenshot/picture it's the international variant S4/N3. US will be even longer. I'm quite pissed about this as these are the flagship devices and should be upgraded MUCH sooner. Thoughts?

I find Root and ROMs much more beneficial than the OS,....for now. De-bloating and customization is key!!

Are you kidding? ART is potentially huge. I'd rather Samsung skip over 4.3 and go straight to 4.4 for this reason.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] shiftr182:
I really had to think about it when I chose to get the Note 3, but I figure the features on this phone are pretty amazing, and the way its looking is that phones will mostly be locked in the future. ATT is locking theirs, Verizon is locking theirs, Im sure the rest will follow. If two out of the four major US carriers are doing this, there is a good chance that someone will find a way around it. For the time being, we have Hashcode who has found away around the lock for the most part. We just need to get something like Loki or KEXEC working.

My other option was to keep a phone that has outdated resolution, software and hardware..... I had the Note 2 for a year and was ready to move on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] akellar:
That's going to be hard to do since we're already on 4.3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
That part was for my Note 2. :cyclops:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RaptorMD:
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We accept the fact that the US carriers bend us over the barrel and do what they want to us. We accept it everyday by using their services, paying their crazy stupid prices and by accepting their restrictive contracts. Anyone who expects a US Wireless Carrier to offer an update let alone a Samsung update within a reasonable time frame is simply crazy.

The only reason the HTC One is getting it so fast is . . . well they don't have many phones to actually update or are worth updating so they have to keep pushing updates out to stay relevant. Of course the HTC one didn't get 4.2.2 we got stuck with 4.1.2 until we got 4.3. Of course I gave up on my HTC One long ago.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
After reading some of the experience that Beans... has passed on to us I think Samsung is trying to make sure they have AOSPs completely locked out before upgrading to the next Android version. I'm also guessing they'll try one more OTA before the Kit-Kat OTA, just to make sure. Fortunately I don't use my Note 3 as a phone so I don't get OTAs.

RaptorMD hits the nail on the head. We encourage carriers to do this by paying $/mo for it. I swore that I'd get a Nexus device before the Nexus 5 came out. What did I do when Nexus 5 came out for every carrier but Verizon because Verizon wanted to force its adware on it??? I got a Note 3 with Verizon. lol. I justify it because T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint have almost 0 bars where I live and work. But I never use my phone to call, so ... why should that matter? WiFi FTW!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
When I started this thread, I was all hyped up about wanting Kit Kat. It's the latest (and greatest?) Android OS and I had my shiny, new latest and greatest Android device. It seemed like it was a match made in heaven. Having the phone for 5 months now, I can look back and see how silly this was. The Note 3 is a beast without Kit Kat. While I've read that Kit Kat performs marginally better than Jellybean, I can honestly say this device doesn't NEED it. Would I like to have it? Sure. Truth be told, this device is fast enough without it, though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Even if it shows up... I ain't gonna take it... The whole KitKat whirlwind is a disaster... I'll stay with JB until devs here figure out stability and SD functionality and I have to flash the update to have the compatible kernel.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] illstaygold13:
Hmmmm
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sh0cka33:
That's true. Google said they are fixing kitkat though. I've read that 4.4.3 is on the horizon.

Question: Has Verizon been delaying kitkat all along because they knew 4.4.3 was on the horizon, and just wanted to wait for that in order to bloat that update instead?

I hope so. But it's unlikely.

The fact of the matter is that we're going to finally get 4.4.2. Just when 4.4.3 is released. So we'll all have buggy/broken phones for 6 months waiting for Verizon to do what they do, again. Because the update notification will happen very often and will mentally ruin us if we don't oblige.

Some of us might end up with some replacement "refurbished" models, though. So don't worry.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

This is fairly accurate. There is a point of diminishing returns with software upgrades. But...

Fact: Touchwiz is sluggish and I'll take any performance gain I can get.

I'm mainly looking forward to the speed of locking and unlocking the screen that kitkat has brought to the note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
I don't worry about it at all... I'm rooted and my updates are disabled anyway so I don't feel any obligation to take an update just because it's out there... I've been doing this way to long to fall for the hype and don't mind skipping until something reasonable is released.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BigMcGuire:
Funny, when I was younger (I'm 28 now) with my Droid 1, I had to have the latest and greatest, which ended up with me spending a lot of time dealing with bugs, problems, and half baked ****. Now, after having spent years rooting, roming 3-5 times a day, I'm pretty happy with CleanRom (4.3) on my Note 3 and I have no urge to go to 4.4 until it's been out for awhile. My past self would shake his head at me in disgust lol. But now I know better. It's not worth all the problems, bugs, broken carp for a few new features I'll never use/don't need.

Maybe you could get a Google+ replacement app. Like a social site mash-up app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BigMcGuire:
You know what's funny? That's exactly what happened 3 years ago. I went from my HTC Thunderbolt to an iPhone 4s because I was tired of all the bugs. Got an iPhone 5 and.... finally came back to the light side this year with the Note 3. :) lol. The land of bland and mediocrity was maddening. That and, there is no intelligence on Apple forums anywhere. <cough>.

Found out what caused the Google+ bugs. Using FolderMount to move stuff to the SD somehow I reset my Google+ settings and it was syncing stuff when not plugged in, so my fault. Just too much fun tinkering :)

The iPhone is a solid product. But I would miss the amoled screen too much. And the battery life. And ios7 was glitchy at best.
