I agree. I not only don't want to trust clouds, I don't always have access to them. I work on boats (no continuous data service) and in Canada (no data at all). I like having my stuff IN the phone. Not sure how I'll deal, if and when sd cards are no longer in phones.

How good is your radio, especially compared to the N3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Nice on working on boats. I'm strictly pleasure on Chesapeake Bay with them. Someday soon they'll be no more SD cards I'm guessing. I have NO issues with current phone and service.. Glad I'm back on moto.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikeman45:
Does anyone have a working link they could share.

az_biker-

I downloaded the Alliance 2 - NC4 file from your sig/dev host... Thanks!

I would like to confirm thats the file I need to go over to KK-Alliance 2 via the NC2 bootloader method so I can get back to 4.3 if I ever want to. I already have the KK firmware tar file which I got from Milski. I believe I'll also need to pick-up SS 3.75 as I only have SS 3.65 presently with my 4.3. Thanks for your guidance!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikeman45:
I tried all 3 links and only get a total of 3.14 MB and it says its supposed to be 1.5 GB. The real reason im looking for this zip is so i can try a dirty flash because all of a sudden I cant receive any phone calls. I can make calls with no problems but whenever someone tries to call me it may ring at least once then i get unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped. I did a google search and came up empty. Has anyone else ever came across this before and if so what did you do to fix it. Thanks to anyone who helps in advance, its greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Sorry to hear about your problem... hopefully one of the brains on this thread, az_biker, Milski, etc... can point you in the right direction.

Just a little while ago, I was able to download the entire 1.6 gb file (Alliance 2 - nc4); it took a little while (maybe 10 minutes or so). I believe my download speed is about 15 mbps - maybe you could give it another try... however I would think you initially want to merely flash the stock rom tar.md5 file to get you back to getting your phone to work again.... the other guys will probably correct my idea... Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pizza_pablo:
There is a link from another source, a few pages back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Sorry to hear that. I have a current trouble ticket active in dev host, because it works for some, and not others...

Glad to hear you got it all worked out!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
So I was already on a stock deodex NC4 build. I just wanted to try this out before installing to the stock rom slot so I installed to slot 1. I noticed a bunch of odd behavior. Notably these 3 problems right off

- one handed keyboard would not show

- reboot menu was not functioning, only shutdown worked

- back button would not work most of the time.

Are these type of problems due to not installing to the stock rom slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Terrible batt life is a frequent issue when running slots. Make sure you're on SS 3.75 (3.72 will allow slots but not with stability) ...

Also, I remember something about some files like SafeStrap, must be flashed on stock slot then will be avail when using all slots...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
So can anyone confirm that the one handed keyboard and reboot menu are functioning properly on this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Yes, both should work fine...I get one handed keyboard. And the reboot menu works; I assume you mean via the power key.

Did you end up flashing to your stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
No I haven't yet because of the issues I mentioned when on slot 1. The keyboard is a top concern of mine on any ROM. I know there are many 3rd party boards that work OK but I really like the stock Samsung keyboard when the options work correctly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Well, I just checked the Samsung one-handed keyboard, and it definitely works. I prefer to use Swype, and that also supports one-handed keyboard. I don't know what I'd do without Swype!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I'd reco making a nand of the stock slot, wiping stock slot, flashing Alliance Build 2 to the stock slot, deleting slot 1, reboot.

Also, make sure you're on safestrap 3.72 or higher if you're going to use slots 1-4.

Some users have issues when using slots.

Hey Milski or az_biker-

I'm in a situation exactly the same that you were in (Milski) when you inadvertently installed part of an Alliance theme onto your phone.... for me, funny enough I have the Hulk theme on the notifications screen and the settings screen... (Could be worse I suppose; I could have the girly theme on there!) - - Someone replied to you (about a year ago) to select S5-Style theme to correct. Did that do it for you? - I don't want to do so and get the S5 Colored screens all over my home page and other home screens so I'm holding off selecting that theme. - Any help/advice would be appreciated on getting back to the Alliance Team's original-out of the box theme. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Hey stray. Yikes. I barely remember yesterday, let alone a year ago. I do vaguely remember something like that. And I'm pretty certain I just booted into ss, wiped cache and dalvik only, then reflashed rom. That should get you back to original theme without wiping data and starting over. I'm guessing you didn't make a backup before installing theme? If not no biggie. For future reference always back up first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Milski-

Thanks for your reply! - Yeah, I know I should have done a backup initially... :o I think I was just like you, merely looking around and pushing a button here and there - looking at themes without installing them... but somehow the Hulk showed up....lol.

I think I may leave everything "as is" because I don't want to have to redo all my settings/colors toggles, etc... which are working fine right now and took a while to get the way I want them.....

Do you know if I were to select a theme in Alliance Manager does it change all your home page backgrounds, etc.? I would assume so. - I'm not sure how I got the Hulk on "only my notifications screen" and my settings screen. - Thanks again for your help!

Hey guys-

I decided to try and flash the nc4 modem to see if I get better reception (currently have nc2); when I try to Odin it, the nc4 file never starts...??? - - I'm using the ap box and have tried numerous times; even tried flashing the MJE modem instead, and that doesn't work either. - - Odin does recognize & connect to my phone as it has done dozens of times - top left box shows connection. - - Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to flash the nc4 modem? - Thanks for any help with this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Is anyone able to offer any help with my problem re flashing the nc4 modem? Or is this off-topic for this thread???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm working atm so I can't dig into this. But there is a link in my signature for rooting/upgrading nc4.

Maybe something there will help you out.

Gimme a quick idea of what you're wanting to do, and your current condition. I'll try to bounce back in here in a few when I get a chance.

az_biker-

Thanks for your reply. - I'm only trying to flash a different modem on my phone; currently running leaded nc2 Rom w/ Alliance 2 of course. - - I have downloaded 2 zip files for the MJE & the NC4 modems (thanks to Jellyhead) , but they won't flash via Odin for some reason...??? - - Funny enough I can flash other tar.md5 files and I just did a bit ago because I got stuck in recovery mode on my phone. (btw, the file I just flashed

I'm not sure if this makes any difference but I select the nc4 modem file nc4_modem.tar.md5 directly from the zip folder: it ends up showing by itself off to the right (screen panel on PC) and I double-click that.... it seems this must be wrong since it's not working....??? (However, the kk firmware I just flased via Odin was also in a zip folder....????) Am I suppose to extract the tar.md5 file from the zip folder first??? - This has really got me puzzled. - - I'm only trying to do this to improve my phone's reception. My modem presently is nc2 - - I believe you mentioned that is one of the weaker one's;

I appreciate any suggestions you might have!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Unzip the file first, then grab the individual file for Odin.

Many people reported better luck with the mje modem, but I suspect this is very much a perspective thing since there are innumerable variables that impact signal/reception.

Experimenting is the reason I root. Just try to do a 'scientific' comparison between modems by checking signal at the same places, same times, same weather conditions, same phone case, etc. Anything other than a decent apples to apples comparison is just wasted time :D

NexsixP
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Thanks for your tips and for your insight. Since I am using Windows 8.1 or newer, I am pretty sure that Windows is automatically unzipping the file. The manner that I'm trying to flash the modem file is exactly the same as the way I do the Kitcat firmware file. The only difference is the modem file is not flashing via Odin. I have even downloaded the modem file from jellyhead a couple times to see if maybe the first one got screwed up somehow.

I will go back and retry my earlier steps and I will verify that I am indeed unzipping that file via Windows 8.1. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Hey stray. I just checked my modem files. What jelly sent you match my md5s.. His files already unzipped. Something else is up. I was flashing everything from 8.1 without issue.. I don't currently have note 3 with me, so I can't work thru steps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
This is what I see when I upload nc4 modem. Again, don't have phone to connect. If you're having success with other files flashing the modems should take no time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Hey Milski, thanks for helping with my problem. I can't help but think there is something wrong with my modem files. I've tried it on both MJE and NC4 with no luck. But when I try to odin kk firmware, there's not problem. (See attached - I did like you and didn't bother attaching my N3 this time.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Unfortunately I can't view what you posted. Sorry. Flashing modems should be an easy option. My gf has my Note 3. If you don't figure out what's up in the next few days I'll force it out of her hands and see if I can help you out further.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
I Finally Made it - Thanks!!!

Hey Milski & az_biker-

Finally, I'm going to be okay with the modems! I was/am in a Peet's Coffee shop and tried reloading the modem files from jellyhead...I can see where the files had stopped mid-stream during the download...so I've restarted and got MJE to fully download and get loaded up into Odin... So, now I need to decide which to flash first....decisions, decisions, lol... although I've completely got mje ready to go, the nc4 stopped at 20.5 of 27.1 mb... so, I may just flash MJE and try that for a week or so to see the difference. Eventually I'll get the full nc4 file...

Overall my reception really isn't all that bad with my nc2 until I get to the block where I live.... - then the signal goes to about -120 dBm!!! - not good! So my house will be my litmus test for which modem to stick with. - Thanks for your help.... I shouldn't have to bug you guys for quite a while! :o
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I've looked around and can't figure out what might be going on. I never really swapped modems so I'm not too savvy on what might be happening.

NexsixP
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
As to the earlier question about Windows 8 and zip files, Windows doesn't actually unzip them, it just allows you to view the files inside them without unzipping. You still need to right click and select unzip. I zipped the files because it made them much smaller but I realize now that this may cause confusion as to whether they are recovery flashable. I used Odin 3.0.9 and both MJE and NC4 are working. the md5 posted with the files is for the actual modem file inside the zip. I hope this clears up some confusion.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
A Million Thanks!!!

jellyhead-

You were spot on!!! Even though I thought I had my problem solved by virtue of getting the whole file downloaded, I would have been at a loss without your input! - You saved me!!!

So now I've flashed nc4 modem and am anxious to check it out. I know you have to hang with the modem for several days to give it a fair analysis.... so I will; this is great. Maybe I can get my at home signal from -120 dBm to perhaps even -110 dBm. That would make a huge difference!!! --- Thanks again to you, az_biker & Milski!!! You guys are great!!! :highfive:

trying to download build 2 in this thread and it says file not found (error 404)

same thing for the nc2.tar by beans also in this thread. (OP)

im on stock NC4 and did towelroot and i just installed busybox 38 apk and am getting ready to install safestrap 3.75 apk but was gonna grab those files that are error 404.

what gives?

also i have read quite a bit and people are saying only the nc2 kernel is selinux permissive.

do i need to flash that nc2.tar by beans since im already on stock nc4 and it says in the OP that nc4 is also selinux permissive?

i did a google search for "6674a578b7aaa9903fc589646cf992ec" the md5 of the build 2 and every download site has it blocked...

whats going on here?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pizza_pablo:
No.

Must be on 4.4.2 / NC4 or earlier.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheRock40359:
Install from 4.3

I'm on stock rom 4.3 and every time I flash the alliancerom It never loads past the alliancerom splash Screen I even tried to flash the nc2 kernel and it still didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
I'm far from the expert here, but I believe if you merely flash the firmware with Odin (I believe I used kitkat 4.4.2) you should be fine... Give that a try!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
In my sig are instructions for 4.3 to 4.4. See if reading through those gives you an idea of something you might have missed.

You can always go back to factory and start over again if you can't figure out what's up with your current situation.

az- I guess we just slightly overlapped; and of course without completing all the installation instructions correctly, my tip may not be of any help at all...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm not sure about me being an expert, but thx :D

Glad to hear Alliance is treating you well. I'm on Nexus 6P running Pure Nexus which is pretty much the same dev crew from Alliance.

The Rom and thread are as good (or better) as Alliance was in its heyday!

I dropped 5 bills getting the 6P retail, as VZW doesn't offer it. The device, the PN Rom, and the PN thread are worth every cent!

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Yes, use 3.75. It supports the rom slots as well. Make sure you're installing everything on the STOCK slot. All system apps must be installed on Stock slot, then they become 'installed' on slots 1-4..

I've got it. But now the alliancerom is in I noticed when I turn on one handed gestures my phone messes up. Everything stops working and my phone locks up
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Hmm... I never used one handed gestures for very long, just tried them out to see how they functioned. Is it possible that you have a screen protector that blocks or messes with reading/seeing you hand gestures?

I'm afraid Google will be your best option with the hand gesture issue since I have very little exposure to hand gesture problems. I just turned my hand gestures on, and messed with the different settings, and mine works fine, no lag or freezing.

Sorry I can't be of more help than that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheRock40359:
O. Well I have no screen protector but even my buttons stop working

I'm also on the nc2 kernel and not nc4 so maybe that's it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
After backing up the stock rom, you full wiped the STOCK SLOT, and flashed everything to the STOCK Slot?

I've not heard of buttons not working....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheRock40359:
Yeah
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Well, there's good news and there's bad news.

Good news is, you're getting really good at flashing and using ODIN.

Bad news is, SOMETHING isn't working right, so the ONLY way to remove whatever isn't right, is to start over from scratch.

verify all your files on your sdcard (not verify the md5, but verify you have the RIGHT versions, right names, and all the files you need ROM, SS, Odin files, etc

once you've verified all that, remove ext sdcard, start over at step one. I had to do it THREE times before I got it right, I kept borking different steps :p

sorry it's frustrating, but it is worth it, and I know the steps work.

Is there a lollipop alliancerom for the Verizon note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Alliance build 2 is the last Alliance Rom for the Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheRock40359:
They're not gonna make any more for note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Not Alliance. That dev and crew moved to the Nexus 6 & 6P (which is why I am on the 6P )
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheRock40359:
If I went to a lollipop rom can I downgrade back to the alliancerom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm pretty sure once you go LP, you can't go back. Now, it's been a few months since I've been active in the Note 3 community so that MAY have changed. But last I remember, if you want to retain the option to revert, you can't upgrade to LP...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheRock40359:
I'm thinking of the jasmine rom. But I like the customizable alliancerom. Didn't wanna try jasmine rom if I can't go back to alliancerom
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Well, 2 schools of thought:

1) Alliance on Note 3 is going no where, and not being updated. But until it's code is really outdated, it's the best thing going :)

2) jasmine rom is very popular, still being developed, and why choose to not move forward, solely to save the option of reverting to a 18 mo old rom?

I stayed on Alliance until I got a new device. That decision is yours my friend.
