I know what you mean about the keyboards. I have found issues with all of them. But nearly all of them seem to get better, they kinda learn as you go as long as you teach it your vocabulary.

The one exception, the one i never could get used to, is the one that Baja referred to a while back in this thread. I don't remember which one now. But for some reason, it would misspell nearly every word i typed. And as i recall, it would always auto correct so i had to manually type in the word. VERY frustrating.

Oh, and on any keyboard,i always disable auto correct. I want it to say what *I* want to say, not it. That should definitely be a selectable option on any keyboard IMO

Yup Swiftkey is good, tried that one too. I wound up going with Kii for a couple reasons, it seemed to me to do better with prediction, and I really liked its customization features, including the color of the swiping trail, so for example I have my major keys one color, the secondary keys (shift) another color, and my swiping trail yet a third color.

Few quick questions:

1. How do I restrict which apps can utilize the internet. I.E. I am traveling and roaming but want to allow whatsapp to utilize the internet for messages but nothing else? Not sure which app is best

2. Anyone come out with any good dark themes lately for the contact / dialer? I remember a Dark theme which was out there but cant seem to find it anymore, wondering if any newer ones came out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Something tells me there might be a decent dark style theme dropping very soon... Just a hunch

Have to say I've visited XDA today 10x more than usual for the same reason.

L is a long time coming. As a Verizon user - I can't stand the adware junk of Verizon Android phones (hence why I come here to root). Family members who have had Android hate it because of how slow and loaded it gets --- you root it and they think you gave them a new phone. Most of my family went iPhone for this reason. Sorry this isn't AllianceRom related.

AllianceRom related ---- Once I get Build 2 - I'm going to start from scratch - format SD Card, clear everything, and setup as if I got a new phone --- and keep it that way for a long long time. Hoping I can stick with my Note 3 another year.

Biggest thing I miss from Pre-KitKat days --- the ability of the Note 3 camera to do Macro photography. I'm a huge macro photo hobbyist. Now the camera can barely focus on things in front of it. :crying: Using different camera apps has almost no effect.

I checked the guides that say go to /system/usr/guikey*.* and changing Power Wake but this has not helped. Currently the home button does not do anything when the phone is locked.

You did make sure home key wakes in lockscreen in custom settings wasn't disabled didn't you? As in its unchecked

Oddly enough I have my right side button set to end call in the call custom settings but it only shuts down the screen and does not end a call when my call is going on. Sorry for the questions. My phone next to me has all the same settings line by line I have to be missing something.

Dumb questions...

But this thread is gigantic and I'm getting lost.

Is this Bean's new project? Did he stop with Jelly Beans and this is his new thing? Big fan of his stuff.

I'm new to safestrap so here goes....

The instructions say to install it in the stock slot and they also say to do a factory reset. Doesn't safestrap prohibit you from doing a wipe on the stock slot?

I'm a little concerned out tinkering with my stock slot as I like having it as a fallback in case things going sideways.

Can you do backups of the Alliance Rom? If so, how do you restore them? Safestrap says you'll brick your phone if you try to restore a custom rom to the stock slot.

Do I need to change the Kernel or will Alliance work with the NC4? Some of the others ask that you downgrade to NC2 or it goes into boot loop.

Again, sorry for the rookie questions, but there isn't much out there specifically related to this rom and these questions.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bajasur:
Beans is now part of Alliance Rom, so yes this is his new project. I think you'll be very happy with what you get.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Backup the stock slot.... Then wipe system/data/cache/and dalvilk under advanced wipe. Then install your rom then reboot to bootloader and odin the nc2 kernel. The stock slot is the only way you can utilize all your storage. Most people have issues using slots battery/heat/storage. Or any day now build 2 will drop and it will be compatible with the nc4 kernel. Though ive had no issues with the nc2 kernel anyways. If you have any issues restore your stock backup. Or if u like to jump around do it like you would if using a true recovery. Make backups and switch between them all using the stock slot. Like you would have to do prior to the multi slot dream that safestrap brings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deputydog95:
Thanks for the quick reply! Any ideas on the other questions?

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Awesome! Thanks. I may just wait on the NC4 kernel build 2 uodate. Who am I kidding? I'm super impatient and already have the NC2 kernel in a folder on my desktop :)

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

One more quick question...

Two actually.

Safestrap specifically warns that you shouldn't restore a backup of a Rom to the stock slot? Is that no longer an issue?

Also, since safestrap won't let you wipe the stock slot under the regular section, I'm assuming you can do it under advanced?

And no consequences as long as you have that stock rpm all backed up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
i personally haven't but i dont play many games anymore mainly just text, hangouts, maps, calls, messages and alot of browsing.

yea its pretty badass! its just a set of images themers can make thier own flashable animations if they want, by just replacing the set of images in a vrtheme zip

with google voice and hangouts u can now do wifi calling granted its not your same number but google allows u to pick your own number :confused:

the lockscreen issue should be fixed in build 2 we had some issues with the lockscreen in build 1 that should be remedied now. ad far as the microphone i will look into it and see if any of our keyboard mods could be causing that. i use swiftkey myself so i havent noticed.

LOL

Ok, LOL send me all your $$$$ haha :D:silly::cool::rolleyes::eek:

im confused is alliance the only rom that wifi is working on for you?

build 2 should fix all minor issues experienced in build 1

ya should be any day/night now. im still hammering through some of the extra apps to make sure we are caught up to the international alliance version and to fix any issues we have been having with the verizon base.

thats what i thought lol

yep i am now in alliance, so arent zaja,zurge,zavey :silly:

as for the rest of you guys like i said a few qoutes up just going over a few more apks. and working some kinks out/organizing a little bit

the beta testers should have something soon and then shortly after that it will be released for public consumption :D :cool::victory:

I flashed the NC2 Kernel, but why when I go into setting does it show baseband and base version ending with NC4?

The kernel version details doesn't reference either NC2 or NC4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dpoverlord:
Some reason my power button wont end a phone call anyone have this bug? I figure there is a conflict somewhere since my other note 3 phone with alliance rom has no problem using the side (right side button) button to end a call. Right now its only function turns off the screen. I went into call settings and set it up to act to end a call but its not working. Any help appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yeah, the kernel version doesn't say nc2 or nc4, nothing to worry about though. If you booted up you're on nc2.

While the devs are hard at work, does anyone have a list of xposed mods that are known to conflict with alliance?

I currently use the following mods in addition to those that are included with Baja 16.1:

ActivityForceNewTask

App Settings

Greenify

Notify Mod

Wanam

XBattery Themer

Xposed GEL Settings

I'm also cuurently using GEL, but obviously planning to give tw another try once the new build drops.

Thanks in advance!

It's been a while since I've messed around with rooting. My notes 1 and 2 were heavily modified. I didn't fool around with the Note 3 much since it was slow to get a rooting process and ROM's weren't that plentiful at the time.

Clearly that's changed as there are lots of options now. I've got my phone rooted now using towel root and safestrap is installed and working. However, I'm very rusty on the data transfer process.

I flashed the NC2 kernel last night and installed Alliance. Pretty cool. However, I quickly realized I'm going to spend hours getting it setup again. With Build 2 being released shortly, I decided to flash back to NC4 and the stock rom, and wait for the B2 release to set it all up again. No point in doing it twice :)

With all that being said, I have a titanium backup of my stock rom to include all the apps and app data.

When I flash Build 2 and start over, what's the best way to get everything over to Alliance to get myself up and running again as quickly as possible?

It looks like google does not have the option to just back up your stuff. It now makes you check backup/restore using google option. Package deal apparently.

Do you let google put everything back on and then use your Titatnium back up to restore missing apps/app data? Or select no to the google backup/restore option and let Titanium do it's thing? If so, will a snapshot work going between Alliance and stock or do you have to use xml?

[MOD] Volume boosting - best method for Note3

I have not yet installed Viper4Android on build 1, and honestly I dont recall if I read if its included automatically in build 2 (its would be great hint hint). I found this link from HighOnAndroid backlinked here to XDA. Has anyone tried these mod's in KK? I have a bluetooth speaker that the volume from that is ok, but there are times I wish the output from stock speak or through headphone jack was just a bit more. thats even without the safety warning thing turned off.

other have other methods for getting a couple more db out from the audio?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
I keep seeing this viper app being mentioned, so I looked it up on the play store. It has really good reviews. So then I looked it up here on Xda. At the beginning of the official viper thread it addresses devs baking it directly into their roms. So before I research all of that lengthy thread on how to modify the build.prop and install this thing, is this going to be in build 2?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't notice this question was just asked. I guess it was done while I was reading all that stuff I mentioned above.

So +1

Will build 2 include the all apps in pen window mod? I use this very often in my work.

Need help and advice

I'm on the leaked NC4 with alliance and I'm having the issue when changing lockscreen settings, it eventually renders my device unusable(many have complained about this in this thread already and it's linked to NC4). My question is could I make a nandroid backup, odin NC2, then restore the backup?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
There's a chance the nandroid restore would work but I think it's unlikely because the restore would surely bring back the setting that has your device malfunctioning. I had this issue too, and what I narrowed down the problem to be was the lockscreen settings - if I switched to the AOSP lockscreen and set the "swipe out from the right" page (the page that's opposite the rest of the lockscreen widgets) to camera - this would put my device in a bootloop that I couldn't recover from without a data wipe. Never could pin down the issue & I'm not sure of the status of this fix,but I have a feeling they have ironed it out for build 2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dpoverlord:
You know oddly enough I used to do this process now (just reinstalled build 1)

A. Back up sms restore

B. Back up settings

C. Install Rom and programs below with backups to SD card

1. Root towelroot

2. Install busybox

3. Supersu

4. Install safesteap

5. Install rom

6. Reboot download install deodex file in Odin AP slot in Odin 3.9

REBOOT

1. Install Google account with contacts

2. 8k contacts synced

3. Google play and install apps

4. Load restore settings

5. Load Alliance theme / configuration settings

6. If using a backup phone I go line by line to see what's missing (easier with verizon they are really good in sending replacement phones.)

7. Load titanium backup and I use it to freeze programs.

8 Wallah done!

If anyone has any ideas to speed up my process would love input! Sms backup and restore said I had 4800 threads 79k lines of text..... Had to wait 3 hrs for it to fix. Since it would stop restoring when the screen went blank, could not figure out how to keep the screen on longer than ten minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetguat:
build is has been mentioned as being compatible with nc4 kernel. Qustion. I honestly dont know which kernel I flashed, but I followed the instructions I hope.

I know some ROM's out there use a Unified KK firmware. Is that different from the nc2 or nc4 that is being discussed? will build to work with the unified kk firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
U can make a Flashable zip backup in titanium to flash in recovery to restore apps and messages. Also under developer options turn on screen always on while charging and plug it in. Then screen won't shut off....

NoTe III'd
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joeyc1123:
That is the exact problem i'm having. I've actually narrowed it down to changing the "swipe out from the right" button. The last time this happened I only changed that setting(didn't switch to AOSP setting). I didn't know the new build was due out so soon and that it was compatible with NC4. I guess my real question(which I believe you answered) is:

can I odin NC2, then factory reset(with alliance on stock slot) without having to reroot?. If I did this, once it boots up after the reset I should be good and rooted correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dpoverlord:
Thats amazing, something tells me that will be a lot faster than using backup SMS Restore. That zip would work in safestrap right?

Can you direct me to any mods to backup my SMS messages and apps in Titanium Backup to do that with?

Is it just me who finds it ironic/funny/retarded that a developer edition is cheaper than the adware infused Verizon version? It's not chalked full of adware making Verizon $, right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] talonzme:
Yes, but you can't get the dev editions on upgrade can you? Don't you have to buy them outright.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BigMcGuire:
Good point. Didn't think about that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
Well, the point BigMcGuire raised is still correct. Off contract, the retail edition will be $699 (direct from Verizon) but the Verizon DE will be $653 (from Samsung). So yea, it doesn't make sense. Why would ANYONE *want* to pay more for a locked down, bloatware-ridden device?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] talonzme:
True dat. The whole point to the custom roms is to remove all of that. Is Samsung trying to start a truly open source phone movement that works on a major network? As Arsenio Hall would say, "things that make you say hmmmm"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scott_65:
What I don't understand, why do they sell Dev editions at all? Maybe I'm missing the point, but they sell an unlocked phone, allowing access to all the behind-the-scenes workings of the device. This allows the wonderful folks like the alliance crew to learn the tricks to hack the phone. Then they do all they can to lock all the rest of the phones on the market down so they can't be rooted?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it...

Typed with both hands from my Allianced N3 phablet using the XDA Free app
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
I'm sure Red doesn't want to sell DEs at all, rather, maybe Samsung obliges them to do so? Why are there so few? AFAIK VZW doesn't want you to unlock/root your phone, mostly for two reasons. First, n00bs that soft brick their phone trying to ODIN or flash a ROM (probably the wrong one, etc), and don't bother to read enough to figure out that in most cases a soft brick can easily be "unbricked" and you can start all over. These are the people that take their "dead" device with blank stares back to the Verizon store and expect a replacement (which they usually get). Secondly, and maybe even more to the point, Verizon charges *extra*, on top of your already-too-high monthly extortion, with your ridiculously-data-limited account, for the privilege of tethering. Yea, like what, $20 or $30 more? When all you have to do is root and you can tether at no extra cost on the data plan your're already paying for.. So yea, they really don't want you rooting the device you paid for (regardless of subsidized or not).

I'd be really curious to know for sure if Verizon is all that happy/willing/eager to have ANY Developer Edition devices out there at all, or are they forced to by Samsung (for whatever reasons?)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
From some sources I read that in order for Verizon to be able to sell some brands of phones that have to sign an agreement with allowing de devices
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
Yup, that makes sense. I'm sure if they had their way, nobody'd ever have a "VZW" DE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mwshows:
AFAIK, there is no charge for tethering now, as long as you're not grandfathered in the old unlimited data plans. If this was a reason to stop root, it would have been a reason to allow root once tethering was added automatically with limited data plans. I myself am doubtful, as to this being a reason to stop root access.

Also, people who root Android make up a VERY small percentage of customers, and it's extremely unlikely that the few who take "broken" phones in to be replaced, are a main reason to block root access. Verizon will replace a phone for just about any reason if you complain enough. The value of a long term customer FAR outweighs the costs of replacing a miniscule percentage of phones over the life of a customer.....

The push for security on phones is just that.... A push for a more secure platform from which to run our daily lives. Just about every financial app, business app, intra-company apps, etc.... We use apps and visit websites that require the most safe platform we can offer them. There's BIG money here.... More than any of us can even dream of.

I think sometimes us "rooters" start thinking we make up some big percentage of Verizon customers (or any company for that matter). We don't. We never will. And we're never going to get a company to bend that doesn't actually want to bend.

As much as I don't "like" Verizon, they are my phone company, probably forever. There's a reason they are so successful. They have the best network countrywide, and that won't change anytime soon. It's the same love/hate relationship I have with Google. I LOVE Android, and Gmail, and all the other things they do that make my life easier.... But I hate their companies views on politics, allowing government intrusion, etc.... But I have made a judgement call to use their stuff anyway.

Exellent points. Good post. I'd lump Comcast in there too. Agree about coverage, I jumped to AT&T a few years back because I wanted a "then hot" phone only available on that network, and it was a miserable experience, poor voice quality, constantly dropped calls, etc. Their coverage/network is probably better today, but Verizon's is so good I won't risk jumping (and also because I'm grandfathered unlimited).
