Awesome news Baja! Looks like an upgrade thus Friday! Woo-hoo!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
Are you suggesting this phone over the nexus? I don't really know too much, other that it sounds cool in the brochure and it looks shiny. So I would value a devs opinion more than social media's or review websites, etc.

Since Verizon took their sweet a$$ time releasing this, and we only get 1 upgrade every 2 years, I'm a little concerned now that I'm blowing money on outdated technology...

For Verizon users no.... All future Samsung devices on Verizon will be locked down and will not be rooted.

If I was still on Verizon I would buy the Nexus 6 in a heart beat. We will find out if it's unlockable tomorrow... It better be!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
So if it's unlockable, will all of your work for other variants automatically work on the Verizon version? Or will things have to be adapted?

If it can be fastboot unlocked, all of the roms for nexus 6 should be compatible
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Afro Samurai:
We'll know by Friday. If Verizon comes up with their own variant and it's locked down I'm leaving Big Red later this year. If anyone is interested I'd read up in the Nexus threads and ask questions. There's some helpful folks over there. Got a lot of help getting my laptop set up for fastboot and adb. Also got a nice explanation in the fastboot vs. All in one tool kits as well.

Sorry man, I'm at a loss. Mine locks perfectly. Just figured I would post something so you didn't think everyone was ignoring you.

I will say, you've got a lot of stuff there that doesn't look very close to mine in your settings. However, I'm not very knowledgeable about that part of this process so that probably doesn't mean a thing.

I may have already said this, I'm running mje. It works well for me

Hey guys having a problem.

I can achieve root on JB and get Safestrap 3.65 installed no problem. I reboot into recovery and do a factory data wipe, I then go into install and install Alliance 2, after this I reboot into download mode and installed the KK firmware that az_biker has listed. This is where **** sucks :(. The phone reboots, I no longer see a safestrap option, and I am stuck on the AllianceRom boot screen.

I can reflash the phone back to stock from Odin no problem and start the whole process over again. I have done this 3 times now and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I am becoming extremely frustrated and I feel like I'm wasting my time so if anyone could help me, I'd be so appreciative!

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
I would follow the directions and firmware from this link. And just use alliance ROM instead of the stock one. The steps u r taking seem correct so give it another go. Make sure u check the md5 on the ROM download also.

I redownloaded all of the necessary software and ran through the steps to the T. Same thing happens :(

If it matters, I cannot boot into recovery period. If I try to, the phone just reboots and goes to the rom loading screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Ya the safestrap option won't be there after flashing the ROM and kk firmware. U must get the ROM to boot then install safestrap 3.75 for kk. How long r u waiting for alliance to boot. It can take a few min sometimes for the first bootup.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] IAmMcLovin:
Sorry I meant the stock recovery can't be accessed but wasn't sure that mattered. My bad on the confusion.

I let it sit for at least 10 mins before I pull the battery. Twice after this I was able to actually see it boot into the OS and got the optimizing files message, but then it goes to starting apps and I've let it sit for 20+ mins and never goes passed.

I was able to get beans June deoxed rom and firmware installed on the first try. I was also able to get newest SuperSU, BusyBox, and Safestrap installed (to which I promptly did a backup in safestrap).

Would love to get a better non stock rom installed to clear out all the junk.

I do appreciate the help in figuring this out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Ah yes I believe the stock recovery was missing from that package. So u r on the stock rooted kk rom now? If so then I'd re download alliance and try again. Even create a ROM slot1 to test on. I wouldn't use slot 1 as a daily driver but it would be fine to test with.

Seems that my memory card is not functioning the right way. When I download files or take videos on reboot the videos / files are not there.

I tried downloading videos from my ftp and none of them are playable. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Your firmware indicates you are on a different device, US Cellular. This is the Verizon thread. We do not have the firmware that you mentioned and that is probably why the ODIN flash you did failed. I would strongly advise not flashing anything from this Verizon thread onto your phone.

I would remove card, back up whatever you need to your PC or somewhere else, and reformat the card. I am running a 64GB Sandisk card formatted exFat with no issues whatsoever on this ROM. I find Sd Cards to be highly volatile based on the amount of issues that people have with them. Usually a clean format fixes the issue, unless the card is completely hosed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] IAmMcLovin:
So interesting/good news! I got everything up and running on Beans deodexed rom, so I did as you suggested and went to rom slot 1 and installed AllianceROM. I'll be damned if it installed on the first try!

Would there be any benefit to moving this rom to the stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes the stock slot is much better than slot 1 for battery life and daily driving. But u can run on slot1 for a while and c how it goes. If u have any issues then try on stock slot. Nandroid ur deodex setup so u can easily restore if needed.

WiFi Issues

I was running BajaROM 15 for quite some time and was very happy with it. I then tried AllianceRom and it was just as good except that I started having major WiFi issues. It will connect just fine, and usually the speed is fine for awhile, but then it just slows down to a crawl and finally becomes completely unresponsive. If I disconnect and re-connect it usually speeds back up for awhile. This is on any WiFi network, so its not just my router.

I tried installing CM12 and it bricked my phone, so I had to start over with stock>Root>Safestrap>and then I installed BajaROM15 again clean. Now I still have the WiFi issue that I never had before on BajaROM. I have tried both NC2 and NC4 radios with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

- E
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
If you attempted an install of CM12 on your Verizon Note 3, I would stop modding your phone immediately and do a little more research before you do damage that will completely render your device useless. Due to a locked bootloader, AOSP ROMS, such as CyanogenMod, will not work on our device.

I am on this latest build, V2, of this ROM and my wifi has worked without issue since it was 1st released. Have you tried another ROM to limit what the cause might be? Maybe try Eclipse or Hyperdrive and see what happens. That will help narrow down the problem to either your specific hardware(meaning your network, router, home, other devices on network) or if it is the ROM itself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
I love hearing that people are still running BAJAROM!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bradleyem:
Honestly Baja is so smooth and so reliable that I have had no reason to switch. I don't think the WiFi issue is specific to Baja...but probably a tweak that I forgot to reapply after reloading from stock. I do remember that there were several bugs in JB initially. I just need to figure out this WiFi thing. I did change the device name in WiFi Direct settings and it helped some, but not completely. Thank you again for your hard work on this ROM Bajasur!

There are several variants of CM12 lollipop that are claiming to work on a Verizon note 3...

http://androidflagship.com/11520-install-cm12-android-5-0-1-lollipop-rom-on-verizon-galaxy-note-3

But maybe they will not actually work.

No matter, I'm very happy with Bajarom, and have no real reason to change it. As I mentioned in my previous post I remember that there were several bugs in JB initially, and there is probably something that I forgot to tweak.

I'm quite certain that it is not my network, etc because nothing has changed and the problem persists on every wireless network that I connect to regardless of security type or open network. I have tried stock firmware, Bajarom 14 and 15, and AllianceROM. I have also tried several radios.

I've been modding phones since the Windows CE and HTC Mogul days and I do networking and application engineering for a living so I'm not quite a newbie to this....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
I'm sorry. I should of been more specific. There is a Developer Edition of the Verizon Note 3 that is able to run AOSP custom ROMS. If you have the developer edition, then you can flash anything you want. I just automatically assumed that you were running what most people in these threads are running and that is the regular Verizon Note 3 with locked bootloader, not DE Edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] matsuyamakaze:
That's caused from you installing the rom on a different slot. You need to make a backup of your stock, and always install any rom on stock slot. This will fix it.

Well then it sounds like HD8 should be your daily driver.

I'm older and I'm not a power user. I use my N3 as a phone with light to moderate texting, searching, browsing and BT in my car and I can go 2 days with this rom before recharging. No two roms and users are alike. Also if your phone is more than a year old and you've been charging daily if not more then its been beat up and used heavily and not near what a new battery will give you.

Sorry, i know there is a lot of info on this, but I've tried in the past and got it wrong. Can someone tell me what i need to do to ensure the phone is wiped clean of personal stuff before selling it. I've had phones in the past where it would boot up to the phone setup wizard like it was brand new, but be contacted later about pictures and stuff found on the phone. I don't want to risk it to my lack of knowledge. Obviously I'm missing something, not wiping everything i should, idk. I'm fine with leaving it rooted with alliance, unless the wipe needs to be in depth enough that it erases that too.

Tia.

Btw, joined the nexus bandwagon. Pretty slick phone. Haven't had much time to tinker, but a quick scan didn't show alliance rom anywhere... Hopefully it's in the works

Edit: Nevermind, got it sold (I think). They wanted it completely stock, so I just odined a factory image and wiped data/factory reset afterwards to be sure. Everything looks blank to me...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Vorn the Unspeakable:
Been using this Rom for a long time and it's great. But lately I've had an annoying bug with apps using Material Design. Any time I fling up or down and it hits the top or bottom of whatever list or page I'm on, it gets stuck there. I can open then close the menu, which seems to unstick things temporarily. Either my google-fu has completely failed me or no else has this problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
There is a known glitch with scrolling in this rom, primarily in the app drawer. But others have reported it in various other apps as well. The symptoms you describe match this glitch pretty much spot on. If that's what your experiencing, there is no fix except for the app drawer, changing its orientation
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
If your on Verizon, Nexus is the only way to go for those who enjoy custom roms and root. Moving forward that forum is going to explode with development.

There is no Nexus alliance ROM in the works as of right now. I wish there was, but there isn't.

That being said, there are some awesome projects in the works for nexus users, including a rom by beans and other Alliance members called PurifiedROM
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
Thanks Baja. I guess i just misunderstood back when you guys had whatever issue here and all switched to the nexus. I assume that meant y'all were - making/porting over/whatever the term may be - alliance over to the nexus. I guess it just meant you guys were purchasing the phones and no longer deving for the note. No worries though, i don't blame you. Allot of (largely) thankless work goes into what you guys do. Your accomplishments have already been tremendous. Thanks for doing what you do! This goes for the entire alliance team!

Thanks for the recommendation. Beans roms can never be wrong, and I've seen mention of purified over there as well. I'll give them a try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lilafleisch:
We need alliance!!!! I am hesitant to upgrade to the nexus 6 because I just don't know if I can live without the customization opportunities that I have gotten used to on alliance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Vorn the Unspeakable:
Thanks. That must be be why I could never find any info on it. I've only experienced the bug in Material apps, so I always had that in the search terms. I've been using Nova launcher so I haven't had the app drawer bug at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Genuinely curious question, have you ever owned a bootloader unlocked device, especially a Nexus? The customization that you were able to do on Alliance will definitely be there on Nexus devices, and more. Plus you would also get access to different kernels which would bring even more customizations.

Only thing I do not like about the Nexus 6 is no SD card slot and no removable battery. I have an almost full 64GB card in my note 3 now and I have already replaced my battery in my Note 3 giving me superb battery life on an aging device. Still extremely tempted to pick up one because I use my phones as toys and I LOVE to tinker. No better tinkering than with a Nexus device.

EDIT:

Also a STABLE version of xposed is not available for Lolipop ROMS which is a big deal for me as I use a few modules that I do not want to live without.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
There is plenty of customization available on the nexus 6, just no alliance ROM. I will also say that there is no rom over there that comes close to the amount of customization that ALLIANCE ROM has to offer.

I think I mentioned it once before but I am getting a Galaxy S6 Edge on t mobile this week and I am going to eventually bring an Alliance ROM to that device, going to be a few months though.

Unfortunately the only device for you Verizon folk is the nexus 6. I would either stay on your note 3, get a nexus, or switch to T Mobile
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lilafleisch:
I have been keeping an eye out. I haven't seen anything near alliance on the nexus 6 threads...I realize there are tons of software customization options...but I'm more talking about the on the fly themeing options. I like being able to make my phone look exactly how I want...I can't see getting rid of my note 3 to go to a plain old boring stock look.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Exactly, that's what [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION] and the alliance crew bring. Total customization at the user level. You don't have to conform to any single theme from theme engine, you can pick and choose exactly what you want... Hence making it the best rom in the history of Android Development
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Thats what a stable xposed would bring. With xposed and lets say Gravitybox, gets full compatibility, everything that can be changed in Alliance should also be able to be changed with Gravitybox or another all in one module solution.

Well thanks for the reminder of all good things alliance brings, right after pointing out that it doesn't bring it to the nexus 6... :banghead:

Just kidding. Just curious, I'm not one to whine and beg, i promise. Why no alliance development for the nexus? You guys did such an amazing job here on the not, and went to the nexus with rave reviews, but no rom? I would guess something to do with it being a little more complicated than what i could envision. If i need to convert a .jpg to a .bmp, i Google a program to download, lol. No such thing for note rom to nexus rom?
