Freezing

I just made the jump over to the Note 3 from the S4 and love this ROM. The only issue I keep having is freezing. The phone will freeze up for a minute or so on its current screen and then eventually reboot. Sometimes when the phone freezes there is a very thin line across the entire screen from left to right that is just a bunch of jumbled colors. Ive been in the middle of a call, downloading something from the play store, logging in to facebook and reading text messages when freezing occurs. No common occurrence, just all across the board. I Odined back to stock earlier and reflashed and am still having the same issue. What am I missing? MD5s matched up. I am re downloading the ROM and going to re flash and see what happens! In the meantime, any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Are you letting google restore apps and data? If you are on your next clean flash make sure you uncheck it during setup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wdcspurs:
No. I have unchecked that every time. It usually starts after I get my couple of gmail accounts setup and a few basic apps from the play store. The only thing I am truly restoring are contacts from a vcf file on my sd card. And come to think about it now, I had a freeze and reboot on stock unrooted right out of the box after I restored my contacts. What and the hell in my contact file would be causing that if at all?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Well if u want to try something different. First go ahead and clean install. Maybe test it out for a bit make sure all is well. Then restore your vcf using the google online browser method and let sync restore them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wdcspurs:
What is the google online browser method? Restoring it through the gmail account? I did just back my contacts up to the verizon cloud. I am planning on reflashing right now and then setting everything up except for contacts. Will check back in!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MANswers:
Not sure why this is happening, I have cleaned re-installed the rom again, and i have unchecked the option to auto download apps in playstore after the bootup, still it keeps downloading, force stopping the playstore still keeps the apps downloading.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dragonsportbikes:
Dev team, can anyone tell me where the mobile hotspot apk file is in this rom. I have searched the entire rom and I can't find it!! What is it called and where is it?

Please and thanks team!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Is your clean install including wiping cache, dalvik and internal storage?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wdcspurs:
Factory Reset option. This will be third time Ive flashed it. This time with a fresh download as well. As I stated in a previous post, within a half hour of unboxing this note 3 friday, I restored my contacts from my sd card. I got a freeze and reboot while I was deleting unneeded contacts. That was on stock out of the box. That is usually the first thing I do after flashing. When I did this current flash, I have yet to restore contacts. 1 hour in, not freezing and resets. Everything else as far as apps and accounts have been set back up and downloaded. That was the only thing I was truly restoring each flash, carried over for a year and a half or so in vcf format on my sd card. Coincidence? What could be in the contact file that could be causing that? I am about to start using the Alliance tweaking in a minute and shall see where this goes! Killer ROM though!

Good luck :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Go into safestrap advanced wipe options and select everything except extsd card. Wipe that. A couple of times. Then reflash the rom. Make sure everything important to you is on the SD card. [emoji106]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wdcspurs:
Im gonna ride this out until I encounter it again. Then I will take the suggested route. Ive never wiped internal storage but now would be the time to do so I guess since the phone is still very young! Thanks!

This script completely wipes everything except the extsd. I use it to ensure a clean install. I do not have any issues with my flash. I wish the best for you. Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wdcspurs:
Flash in safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Yes. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A ROM TO FLASH ON YOUR EXTSD CARD.

You should not be disappointed.

OK for some reason my themes won't stick. I changed the wallpaper and now when I go back to set theme in A/M everything sets but the wallpaper. Tried reflashing and wiping , any idea thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Go into the alliance folder and there they are in current theme. Thanks [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MANswers:
Nevermind, this is resolved, a couple of reboots after the playstore asked to accept the terms and conditions, and then it never auto downloaded.

I was able to pickup the apps that i want to install from titanium, after that i updated to the current version from the playstore.

Now i will monitor how the battery works after this install.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dragonsportbikes:
No no I know where to go to use it... I'm looking for the location of the actual apk file in the rom. I would like to theme the ugly red icon. So I need to know where the apk file is so I can access the png file for the hotspot

I don't ever using any of the Verizon backup options. I just use the auto sync with the native gmail account stuff, it's always worked seamlessly for me. But in case it helps anybody, I just got a notification of an update for Verizon cloud service from the play store. Not sure if it could be behind some of the issues

I went in and used the zip you provided to wipe and proceeded to flash the ROM. Halfway through it flashing in safestrap it froze and i could see one of those thin horizontal lines of jumbled up color. Does that point to a phone issue? Its the same line ive seen inside of the ROM when it freezes and resets.

Vertical Scrolling Issue

I am also having this issue with vertical scrolling. It doesn't happen everywhere but like it was said in previous posts when I am in the app drawer and if I switch it to vertical scrolling, the scrolling freezes when you reach either all the way at the top or very bottom and if you try to swipe back up or down you end up opening an app. I have also seen this issue in Google Drive and Google Photos.

I wonder if any devs of the Alliance ROM or anyone here can please shed light on this issue as it is not just happening to one person.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dragonsportbikes:
I am having this issue only in Email.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Just to throw this out there. After the ODIN, when you boot back up their still might be remnants of older stuff. After you ODIN, then boot back up, reboot back into stock recovery and do a full wipe. Then after that boot back up and proceed to install busybox and safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Derick60:
Just swapped out stock battery with an aftermarket one fully charged and my phone booted into Safe Mode 4 times in a row before finally booting normally. However, I had to restore my widgets manually. I doubt it's ROM related, but it struck me as strange.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] yearn2burn:
One thing I can't find. Can you make the power menu icons vs text different colors?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Yes. Colors. Uncheck those selections in linked colors. Open unlinked colors and then change accordingly. [emoji6]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
This has been talked about a lot and devs have acknowledged it's being worked on. In the meantime, a solution that works for me is to scroll gently to the edge of the list rather than let it bounce off the end. It keeps the glitch from occurring

You need to hit the notification as soon as it starts downloading all the apps and hit the stop button ASAP... Then settings and "Do not update"!

I do this everytime I flash a new rom or flash a new blacked out playstore on my device, otherwise it will sometime change the setting to allow updates or add apps to homescreen... Etc etc

As to facebook try greenify... Disables data in app except when you open and use it... Then hibernate it till next use....

Problem?

I've noticed a bug(?) when I try to use Incoming Call Notifications. I noticed this on build 5.5 and again on build 6. I wanted to be able to post a screenshot, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work while a call was incoming.

Anyway, the Incoming Call Notification, if active, pops up a box at the bottom of the screen when you get a call without interrupting whatever app you may be using. Since build 5.5 the box still pops up, with the three buttons at the bottom, but the contact display area is totally transparent. It looks almost empty. Has anyone else had this happen?

I always hate to just assume a bug is caused by a ROM but I've tried troubleshooting the issue with removing apps, xposed mods, etc and it still happens. I've clean flashed both 5.5 and 6 and had the same issue. The issue even occurs when I don't have any other apps installed than what comes with the ROM.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I actually used this feature quite a lot in the past and turning it off because it isn't working is making my OCD flare up. :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Tidewater:
Unfortunately, I have no help but I have had the same problem. When I turned off the option to have it, I got a totally different popup that actually worked. Not as minimalist as the other one but at least it worked. Sorry no help.

He has the incoming call notifications turned on.

Settings/call/incoming call notifications

And says the picture of the caller is clear or transparent.

Well I'm using it and I have a contact picture for everyone and they show up just fine. Maybe something wrong with the default no picture place holder??

And you can't post a screenshot because while someone is calling screenshots do not work. For me at least using my s pen.

The problem with the banner not showing up is that you're missing the [sigpic] html tag. See screenshot of my signature page.

If you click the "insert signature..." link to the right of the banner it should create the tags for you or you can do it yourself manually, just put [sigpic][/sigpic] wherever you want it to appear. :good:

This might be a stupid question but if I wipe internal storage while flashing won't it remove safestrap and then cause issues? Or do I just need a rom on the ext SD to flash and I'll be fine? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Have the rom on your extsd. Re-download TiBu from store then restore SS from your backup. Or have SS available on extsd as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mwshows:
On your Playstore question..... When you enter your Gmail info on a new install.... Simply uncheck backup & restore apps on the next screen. There's usually 2 checkmarks on the very next screen after you enter your password info. Just uncheck the one you need.

systemui crashes

Like other who have reported com.android.systemui crashes when using the Alliance Theme Manager, I too have experienced the error. It'll loop the error every single time, necessitating a reboot. I've tried the suggested fix of adding an Alliance button on the left and right side of the pulldown, and I've tried to set the Alliance folder to rw on the internal storage, both to no avail.

I performed a clean install (I came from Jasmine) and I'm on the NC4 kernel. The handset works fine with Alliance installed otherwise. Are there any other suggestions out there? TIA.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GameChanger:
To the Alliance Team...I would like to request an auto theme switcher like color of the day but this would be theme of the day. I know you can manually switch them now but imagine auto pilot. I think people would also get very familiar with customization options better with creating multiple themes. Not to long ago I would get complacent after I created one theme.

With this I would never put my phone down (my wife says that now). It would probably get me a divorce. ?
