Thanks guys.

The instructions for this rom mention nothing about updating firmware. My steps will be as instructed.... Wipe stock slot, flash rom, install kk version of safestrap.

Is that all, or am I missing a step for firmware updates?

Thanks for the help. Bare with me, I am def not new to this and always do my research. This is the first time I messed around with jumping builds and safestrap with a locked bootloader and just want to make sure I am not going to mess things up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Numbers are just numbers. I think they were looking more toward the easter egg. They just wanted the up to date. I could care less. This rom runs amazing for me

Is there any way to get rid of the 4G LTE icon when Im on Wifi?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Yes I am currently doing it. U need closed installed and look for Samsung data icon fix. Install reboot and your done
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jolly_roger_hook:
Sry im not upnro date with your question but bare in mind if you are coming from jb you have to update to kitkat first you cant just jump ship it doesnt work that way if you go to beanstow106 thread there are detailed instruction in how to do this just when it says to flash the deoxed rom repace that with alliance and don't forget to flash the nc2 kernal or this will not boot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Says in OP required firmware is NC4. Or the patched nc4 if you weren't forced onto the OTA
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Just to also note that the user also needs to downgrade kernel to nc2 for this to run.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jolly_roger_hook:
Not always numbers have updates none that are really important that often but buy the time vzw pusshes out a 4.4.4 for the note 3 the note 5 will be out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kdizzleh85:
The kernel is included in the rom. He should do no downgrading of his kernel. Just make sure he's on Kitkat and flash the rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
it wont run on nc4 it even states in the op to downgrade to nc2. After u do the NC4 update and install the rom, you need to go into download mode, use odin and install nc2 kernel to run or it will just show black blank screen
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kdizzleh85:
I got ya. I misunderstood ya man. I didn't realize they were on the nc4 Ota. Also I didn't realize it was a kernel in Odin but rather I thought it was a firmware upgrade. Never mind me then.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Its all good from what I read from his post he was coming from the NC4 ota.

Also there is a forum on here somewhere i have to find it where you need to download the files and flash it via odin. Best to use the newest odin I believe it's 3.09.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
My sig has ODIN, and NC4 to NC2 links :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
Thanks for your feedback. I think i remember reading that way back in the thread when it came up too. I've just been too lazy to go back and change it. Maybe you've inspired me to do it now.

Or maybe later... Lol

I had the 2 clock problem too. I don't which xposed mods you are using but I had gravitybox and wanam mods enabled and this is what I did to fix it. In Gravitybox I disabled clock and in Wanam I enabled and centered it. Then in Alliance custom setting I set clock to center. Then I had only 1 clock showing.

Anyone else have lot of shuddering from YouTube app? Freezing etc.. Sometimes the audio will keep playing but video will stop... Don't know what's going on. Sometimes I get really buggy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
That's the wierd thing I didn't use any xposed for the clock. I just used the alliance tweaks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GameChanger:
In my experience if you activated any of those mods it would trigger the clock settings.

Not3rized
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
I don't use any of those and the double clock still happened. I am going to try it again just using the alliance tweaks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kinstre11:
That is IF they ever push 5.0 to the Note 3. It could happen but I'll likely have a new phone by then as will most people that currently own the N3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TToTT:
As I'm working very long hours these days, I haven't had time to search the thread on whether or not it's been addressed to you and the team yet, but every time I connect my phone to my car stereo (Panasonic head unit) via Bluetooth on this ROM, Settings will hang and force close once and then be fine and connect after I hit "ok" to allow the close... Like I said, didn't know if that's been mentioned or not, but hopefully that bug will be addressed too...

It'd be nice to see a couple more options of TCP congestion and/or governor choices, but as I believe those are kernel dependent, I'll happily suffice with your offerings of this wonderful ROM. :)

time stamp fix hopefully

Okay for people havin issues with your time stamps being incorrect try these things i dont have the issue so i cant confirm if any of these work but these are the things i have found

1. Disable automatic time and set the time one or two minutes slow, back out and back to the home screen, now go back and enable automatic time. Check if new messages will be displayed with correct time stamps.

2. Try SMS Time Fix by Matthew Precious, see if the problem will be solved. It's free on android market:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mattprecious.smsfix

3.Get a new sim and it fixed the issue for some but that would be an incovience because you would have to call tech support as the store will not giv you a sim if your phone is rooted

4.1 big thing make sure that you have your google account set up for what state you are in because that can cause time stapm issues

if i helped please hit the thanks button

I just found a small issue with the stock lock screen settings, the "unlock effect" is grayed out and is not able to be changed at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kalkat579:
Do u have live wallpaper on? If so that enables the lense flare effect and disables your ability to chose what you want of not im not sure that issue has not come up yet mine works fine

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DeeMann:
I just had an issue with the volume when playing music...i enabled long press on volume to skip track...but as soon as you press the volume up...the volume goes full blast...has anyone had this issue??? if you turn of volume to skip track the volume behaves normally
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MBRedline:
I just tested this out and it seems that the volume will not work when the screen is off, one press of volume up puts the vol at max then the vol buttons will not change the vol level, also one press of vol down does the same it sets the vol to min level and will not change until you turn the screen back on. The skip track funtion seems to work fine tho. I am going to switch some settings and see what it does.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
What music player are you using? Have you enabled volume skip in custom settings?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DeeMann:
volume skip was enabled and i was using google play music...but when i disable volume skip it functions correctly...the volume skip track does work its just the volume goes to max level or all the way down
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
19 hours this round with 58 minutes of on screen time. I combined heavy tethering and wifi usage. Pretty good and have 40% battery left. Thank you for this rom :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Hmm. Are you long pressing volume?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MBRedline:
I am using Samsung music player still get the same issue, I unchecked volume skip in Baja settings and checked it in Wanam settings, it seems to be working correctly now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Hmm. Could be conflicting with wanam. Mine is working great. I'm glad you got it working either way!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MBRedline:
Could have been, either way it's working now, the problem seems to only be with the screen was off and trying to use the skip track function. I'm going to disable wanam and try again and see if it works now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DeeMann:
im only pressing the volume once and it jumps to the max level...i will try to enable or disable in wanam as well and see what happens
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MBRedline:
I disabled wanam completely and it was still giving the same issue, but I just unchecked it in custom settings and reenabled wanam and it works that way

Thanks Baja
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Hmm.. I'm not sure what is going on there. I just check again with the box checked and Google play music worked with screen off and long press.

Is there anyone else who has this feature in the ROM without using wanam?

Thanks

Theme files issue

I am not sure how, but my sdcard/Alliance/ (Backup)(CurrentTheme)(Themer) folders are all empty.

My Alliance Manager is blank and when I try to create a new theme I get the error Error reading file theme.txt- make sure it is in /Alliance Folder!

I am not sure what I did, knowing just enough to be a danger to myself.

Right now, its a pain as contacts are dark gray text on black background so nearly impossible to see.

Is there some way I can restore all the needed files or is there a link with the files that I can download to fix the problem?

Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] barrackOBAMA:

just use Gravity box or Wanam to center the clock, don't use Custom Settings, if you already did, go back to Custom Settings and set the clock to the right (as it came first), then go to Gravity box (in my case) or Wanam and center the clock there...you won't see that issue anymore. If you don't use Gravity box or Wanam to center the clock, you will have that issue every time.:good:

Thanks again guys for confirming I have to flash the firmware a few pages back. Just to say, I am not coming from an to OTA, I am on clean rom jelly bean. Bought the phone near launch and been on it since. Just figured it is about time I checked out kitkat and this seems like an excellent stable rom.

Sorry about the thread saying NC4, we will get that fixed asap. Just heads up NC2 kernel is great by the way. Have you tried it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suki7474:
Hello everyone. If i am on hyperdrive 8 and my baseband is NC2. If I want to switch to this rom do I have to update the baseband version to nc4? or do i just have to wipe (factory reset) install this rom in the stock slot and reboot? I just want to make sure that I am doing it right. Thanks everyone!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Follow the op in the beginning
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suki7474:
my understanding is I need to odin to nc4 baseband then Im good to go but I was confused by the last couple of posts
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
You do not need to change basebands...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suki7474:
ok thank you for clearing that up
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
to run this u need to change the kernel to nc2 if u took the nc4 update

if u didnt take the update there is the other steps. my phone came with the update so i had to downgrade kernel to nc2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suki7474:
ok im on linux 3.4 so ill have to odin the kernel then proceed like I would normally download a rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
The nc2 kernel has a build date of mar 13. Download and flash the rom then reboot to download mode directly via ss and Odin kernel.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
this rom has amazing battery life. Can't wait till future releases.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
I stated this quite a few times. After you flash rom you need to go into download mode use odin and flash the nc2 kernel to have this work. The kernel data has nothing to do with this.

This is the method to follow if coming from nc4 ota
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes I no how to update as I told u how to originally. The date info is for him to reference which kernel he is on!

Thread has been cleaned. Let's not have a repeat of that.

Put simply, if you have negative feedback please post it respectfully. Disagreements to negative feedback are better off by OP handlng; or report the post and let us do our job. That's a much better alternative to piling on and hijacking a thread into a flame war. I see most involved have been around long enough and should know that.

For reference NC4 appears to be the ROM base, which is normally what is noted in the title. Any prerequisites (required baseband/kernel) would be noted in OP or instructions.

Any questions about the action taken please feel free to contact me by PM. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of XDA.

Hey everyone,

Is anyone else having battery life issues on Alliance? I frequently used to go 18+ hours with 2-3 hours of screen on time. Lately I am barely getting through the day, even with minimal use. Today for example I am at 35% after 11 hours, with only 1 hour and 14 minutes screen on time (24% of battery use). Android System is next at 17% and then Android OS at 8%.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am not sure if it's a bug or not. Maybe someone can direct me where to go but I noticed with note 2, s4, and s3 that if the phone is idle and off that you can press on the home button will wake the phone. It doesn't work. Is there a setting I need to change or is it a bug?

OK guys I'm new to safestrap just left my unlocked s3 so just wanted some info. OK I'm still on 4.3 rooted and safestrap made a back up now can I flash this rom since I'm not on KK kernel or modem. Just wanted to know if there is anything I need to know before I go ahead and flash this since I was on alliance on my s3 and I loved it. Thanks for any help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Shaggy Kobain:
You'll need to dl safestrap vs 3.75b04 run it, and the nc2 tar file, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358549058 , put the Tar in the AP Slot in version 3.09 of Odin, and then flash the ROM in Safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Check the links in my sig, I haven't changed all the Baja Sur links to ALLIANCE links yet, but they sill take you to the right places. Links for SafeStrap 3.75, and other req links should be readily available.

I've been crazy busy at work AND out of town over the last few months and haven't updated all the OPs to correct credits and link names, trying to do that this weekend.

Here's something cool that I just discovered about the touchwiz weather widget.

With more than one city to report weather, you can swipe between them on the home screen.

Now maybe everyone else already knows this... But I had to share anyway.

Have a great weekend fellow Alliancers!

Thanks for all the replies. I've not added anything new at all since loading Alliance (was on Beans before). I am in the stock slot for Alliance (its my only ROM). And yeah it might be time for a new battery but the phone isn't that old... And check these out. Its BAD today.

Well, first of all, AllianceRom here for download is Build 1; however, you also mentioned somewhere that there are other Build(s), where do I get the latest build? Secondly, after flahsed, my verizon Note 3 reboot into a black screen and I don't understand why people in this thread all don't need to use NC2 or NC4? I am confused. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Your question is kinda confusing but in order to get this rom to work u need to flash the rom if your coming from nc4, and then go into download mode and and flash nc2 in ap slot. this will get the rom to run and get rid of black screen

Also, someone mentioned that nc2kernel.tar.md5 is ok to use and it's only 8.7mb. yours is 47.9mb? Does it matter which one? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
The NC2_FW is the entire firmware .tar file, the smaller file you're referring to is JUST the NC2_kernel portion of the entire tar file.

The difference is:

NC2 firmware is the leaked, converted NC4 firmware

NC2_kernel is JUST the kernel portion of that firmware, when flashed with NC4 OTA allows reverting back to 4.3 JB (MJE)

NC4 OTA will NOT allow reverting back to 4.3

Man, I hope I explained that the way it was in my head :D
