I am highly curious to see how the T-Mobile N4 pans out. Hopefully it will be fully compatible with Verizon LTE bands and have unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Virus1x:
Baja on Verizon which device is the best for Verizon devs not giving in to Verizon demands?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
That's a great question. The M8 did really well with a full unlock and root almost right out of the gates if you go check M8 development forums there is a TON of roms both sense and aosp.

I would say that was the best device for development on Verizon in 2014.

Going into 2015 is a different story, it looks like Android L and the Nexus 6 and 9 will be announced tomorrow, with a few more great devices to follow.

I am really looking at the Droid Turbo specs, along with the Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Virus1x:
So basically HTC? Because s-off is easier then breaking bootloader on Samsung?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
I had the M8 but wanted to have the note 3 fiancee had the m8 now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Yes, HTC has far less security measures in place on their Verizon phones, therefore easier to hack. Samsung has their devices locked up like Fort KNOX (pun intended! ) :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Afro Samurai:
I don't know if that's really true but I can say every HTC phone I had up until I switched to the S3 was s-off. The only reason I switched to Samsung was HTC made that phone with no SD card slot. I forgot what model it was. If it keeps getting harder and harder I might just go back to HTC.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
I am optimistic that someone will save the day with a true bootloader unlock for Verizon Samsung devices once again..but the truth is its been a long time (djrbliss and Loki) since we have had a remote unlock.

Verizon users best bet is that Surge continues to bring Hashcode's Safe Strap to future devices. I personally love SS, and really don't see the difference between it and a true unlock...but that's just me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Afro Samurai:
I'd have to agree now I think about. As long as we have ss and can use Odin to change modems and firmware the only thing a true bootloader unlock gets us AOSP and custom kernels right? And battery life is pretty good across the board so for me I don't see a need for custom kernels. But if they do make it tougher and tougher to root and use ss I'm gone. I'd rather go back HTC than get an iPhone...??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] almahix:
I'm spoiled by the note 3 form factor. Everything else seems tiny. Don't want to go back to smaller phones. Hopefully other manufacturers will catch up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kickenwing13:
If Verizon gets the nexus x would that make it more attractive? I have been using my pen lately.. And I like it. But if the nexus is one hand able as my. Note 3 is.. And cheaper... And a nexus.. I'd have a hard time not going with it. Especially if development is there
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] elidog1:
Yeah if the nexus 6 rolls out on Verizon I'll be moving along.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] almahix:
Another Verizon nexus would be encouraging. They typically don't have adequate memory though without an SD card, which is a limitation. If it had a 5.7 or 5.9 inch screen and 64 ram I might overlook the SD card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kickenwing13:
I'm seriously attached to this phone.. The stylus.. . But I've always wanted a nexus device...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
Just to clear a couple things up.

I still have the note3 and probably always will. if you see me selling note 3's it is because i have acquired them and am reselling them. most of the devices i get are brand new or pretty close to brand new so if you ever need a spare device your more than welcome to look for me on "Swappa".

also i am currently going through the note3 rom as we speak i have just finished with the framework. and have to go through some of the apps now and bring it up to par with the verizon and tmobile s5 builds.

i personally am recoding alot of the way stuff was colored etc. to make it more suited for the note3, as initially the code was more or less s5 code and 4.3 note 3 code mashed up.

i have also fixed a few issues with superuser and some permission based issues that wouldnt allow you to use the nc4 kernel.

so far a very brief changelog is as follows. obviously within the next 24-48 hours it will grow emmensely

added compatibility for nc2/nc4 kernels

selinux permissive on both nc2/nc4 kernels

added option for screen recording toggle in power menu

added option to set Crt Animation Color and Speed

fixed an issue with system background images

fixed issue with listview animation and accesibility

recoded correctly how primary and secondary text is set

recoded alot of how things are colored to better suit note3

also [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] has been working for the past month or so on K-Exec, Studying Safestrap and Rebuilding the Alliance Custom Settings app from the ground up.

[MENTION=4854133]bajasur[/MENTION] has incorporated some new mods as well, and [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] has been working around the clock to bring the most complete aosp theme in existence on samsung Devices to "AllianceRom"

We have all been busy with various tasks and real life situations(work,kids,promotions, job hunting, taking over the world, etc..) so dont think we have abandoned you Very soon Build2 will be Out and you guys will be in Ahh!..

:D thanks for the understanding,

Nate, Mike, Surge, Davey, and the rest of the Alliance Team :laugh::good::highfive::cool:

Has anyone used a Tmobile service/sim card with this sweet ROM? If so how? I'm going to Mexico next week and I'm looking at grabbing a T-mobile simcard for the trip. Your gracious assistance would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
Your Welcome!

iirc [MENTION=3526654]FormeriPhoney[/MENTION] used a tmobile sim card in a verizon note 3 for a while. so it should work fine you would just need to input the correct APNs for Hspa+ and Lte
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] loveubuntu:
I love this rom but the button on the stylus doesn't fireup the intended menu on the screen. Anyone else notice that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] profman03:
I'm sure someone else has probably requested this, but I'd love to see the ability to change the apps on the pop up/ speed dial you get when you press the button on the stylus. Probably would be a total pain to do, but it would be awesome. Can't wait for build #2!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] maverixz:
Thanks again Beans. I'd reach out to fomeriphoney to get his steps with using TMob.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Jinded:
Are you holding the stylus close enough to the screen when pressing the button? I think it has to be in hover range to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] langdoy:
Yep, same here, but I barely use the pen. Only way for it to work is to enable menu when un-hoslter. If you want it to come back, holster and un-holster again. Not the best but I never really need it so I don't bother.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sudermatt:
First of all....thanks to the Alliance Team, and really, all developers who make these phones more fun and productive to own. I have Alliance B1 and it's recently started to slow down a bit. Prolly too many apps doing too many bad things. I was going to Fact-Set, then I saw there was a new build eminent.

I know we're suppose to be patient...and I'm trying to be.

And I know the devs are working their butts off...Thanks again....

png not supported on screen write

Guys- I have a quagmire with the the rom, running on 2 note 3's in the house.. In the screen write option from the spen pop up, I am unable to attach the screen shot to a text message, and get the error "file format unsupported" and it will not attach. It is infact a PNG when checking the properties of the screen shot.

I searched this forum, with some key words, but nothing came up specifically, so apologies if it has been asked already.. I have the same rom on my note 3 and it works fine. The one that isnt working is the gf's. I have matched as many settings as I could comparing the 2 phones. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Digital DJ:
How are you trying to attach the pic? I just tried it and mine works fine. I used my S-Pen to take a screen shot, then I went to my stock messenger app and held the pen to the screen to Paste and it worked fine. I also hit the file icon in messenger to add a photo, that worked as well. Have you tried going to your camera or messenger app and clearing the DATA and Cache? I had to do that 2 days ago as my dual camera wasn't working. I wasn't able to use both cameras at the same time so I cleared the data in my camera app and it works fine now. Maybe try that??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jackwagon06:
Not sure its the camera- but I cleared it anyway. Same deal. To clarify: I pull the s pen out, and select" screen write" on the pop up wheel. Then, you can modify the pic, etc. When selecting the "share" symbol, and then selecting "messaging" like I am texting you a screen shot(stock, not hangouts which works fine, as does email), it will not attach the file to a mms. I am backing up the sms's now and using your thinking, am going to clear the cache/data on the messaging app. Ill report back shortly! Thanks for the response too!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Psychotic Penguin:
In on Verizon unfortunately! No other show in town for me[emoji35]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jackwagon06:
Update: So it still wont attach after clearing the cache and data in messaging app. But it will attach if you try and let it fail, then back button to the screen shot then try to attach(share) it again to the stock messaging app, it works. Now that really bugs me......
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Digital DJ:
dude I'm not sure then. I would suggest wiping your dalvik and re installing this rom at this point. I tried it in everyway I could think and It works fine for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] platinumrims:
So is there a way to make the extra screen space black when using one handed mode? Idk why Samsung didn't just make it that way to begin with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
+1, wondered this myself for a while. I've tried changing some things in the color settings in alliance and nothing ever seems to have any effect. But always too busy to pursue it any further.

cant install

So I was running this firmware (it was recommended for using Jasmine 2.3.4) N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_N900VVRUCNC4_HOME.tar.md5

I factory wiped from safestrap. I then installed Alliance into slot 0. When done I rebooted, and my VzW N3 hung. Never got anywhere. Not an expert here, but guessing something fundamental is wrong. I would have thought that stock/rooted firmware should be ok. I really wanted to try this ROM. Anybody have any thoughts about what could have gone wrong? I've pulled the battery, when back into recovery and wiped a 2nd time. still nothing.

I will keep looking through the 1000s of posts for firmware links/suggests, didnt notice anything within the OP. I believe I followed the simple 4 steps from the OP

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

OK. searched the thread and even though this ROM appears to be NC4, one post suggested having an NC2 kernel (can someone explain why that is?) I ended up flashing the nc2kernel.tar.md5 that was linked in one of those posts. And my N3 booted up.

Mild suggestion, perhaps the OP could reflect 1) the link to the stock firmware base, stock deodexed rom, the nc2 kernel, and then suggest what the starting base prior to flashing this rom is. again, just a suggestion :)

now i"m off to setup for the 1st time. Hope it goes smooth

My apologies, I see what happened there. Unfortunately I still don't have an answer to that question.

I had asked how to add a website address as a homescreen icon

Nc2 is a permissive kernel. Nc4 is not. When build 2 drops it will have a fix for the nc4 kernel issue. Meantime odin the nc2 kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
I've had the problem all along that when the phone dims, right before the screen is about to shut off, usually you can tap the screen and it comes back to full brightness. Myself, and a few others have the problem that it only comes back at half brightness. You then have to pull down the notification bar, slide the brightness slider down, and back up to regain full brightness.

As of about 10 minutes ago, the last time this auto dim/half recover episode occurred, I no longer have a brightness slider or auto checkbox either. Anybody else?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joeriv5692:
I do have that same issue where the phone dims. Usually I have to hit the power button and make the screen shut off and hit the button again, usually resolves the problem. I've noticed it is more prevalent with some of the themes that you are using. But that's my phone and everyone else's is different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
Same here with the power button. Either method works the same, the slider or power. And I've noticed my problem comes and goes as well. I've just never noticed with theme changes. But I've not paid enough attention I'm sure. That's possibly dead on

As for my slider, it's back for now. Pretty strange. Two hard reboots, the second with a wipe, did nothing for it. But then a 2 minute battery pull and it's back... I think my phone has Ebola

All the USB 3.0 cables I tried only work at USB 2.0 speeds.

In fact, I'm pretty sure these cables are, in effect, useless for USB 3.0 as I don't believe there is actually a phone or tablet that can even use USB OTG 3.0 at all. I was looking at the USB 3.0 specification and at the time I couldn't determine is USB OTG 3.0 actually exists.

Any experiences with this? I have just been using OTG 2.0 cables with Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] matsuyamakaze:
Note 3 is a real true 3.0 you can't advertise that across the world and not deliver it that's bad business and any business that promotes a product and lies like say the chrystler 200 has v9 if it was a v6 they would be slapped with law suits and go bankrupt. It may be your outlets you need the proper volts also your pc has to have 3.o integrated otherwise it will only be 2.o but yes 3.0 reads and writes much faster on pc I belive the only reason they did not put these 3.o on note 4 is it was a pain in the ass for them to fix and replace many faulty cables in their debut. Took too much time money resources. A really good idea but easily surpassed by fast charge unless your pc use speeds are more important than charging.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Well another way to look at it with the Note 4 not having USB 3.0 on it is that with the Note 3 it caused (at least from my perspective working in retail) a good amount of confusion with the average person I talked to that they thought the Note 3 would only charge with the included USB 3.0 cable and they needed to replace all their current chargers just because of that fully not knowing that 2.0 cables work just fine with the Note 3. I know that might not seem like much to us on here but I can understand from those who find it a bit confusing.

Disable or uninstall Verizon Visual Voice Mail

Some people seem to like that this was included. I wanted to either disable or uninstall it. I get the notifications about needing to update visual voice mail, but I"ve never used it (ever) and not sure I feel the need to activate something I dont plan to use. I cannot uncheck the "notifications" box as the checkbox is greyed out. Is there a preferred method to keep this app/service disabled, or to simply uninstall it? Just using the force stop, doesnt do the trick. Thanks for the suggestions.

In the Hyperdrive Rom v8 whatever keyboard I was using had a microphone icon immediately to the left of the space bar, a long press would alternatively bring up the keyboard settings. I use that to dictate text messages sometimes. I havent found a way to get that capability here on Alliance. Has someone else figured out how to get that icon there?

Also, I plan to install Viper4Android. The stock volume when using headphones or an external blue tooth speaker is just not loud/robust enough. I know with HD8 I was getting more volume out, so I am guessing that it was a function of Viper4Android. If there is an alternative to extra volume I would love to hear it... :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
This is how I disabled that nasty notification. Go to your app drawer, then look for the Verizon folder with the voice mail/visual voicmail app. Click on the app, and drag it up top to the disable icon. Easy :D
