I guess it's something I will just have to get used to... Make sure when I turn it off and on to also turn on wireless. Will see if I can find anything else about wireless issues...

Any suggestions about the best way to reset CSC (away from Bulgaria) and/or modem without upsetting the Alliance set up? (I'll also go looking, but doesn't hurt to ask... :D) The only way I know of to reset CSC at present will factory reset the phone so I figure I will need to replace (a) file(s) in the Alliance ROM and reflash.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Seems to be fixed by changing modem - I have the BTU stock on PC so I extracted it to get modem.bin and non-hlos.bin and used Mobile Odin Pro to flash them. Now phone starts with wireless on. Yay... didn't even have to mess with CSC... :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ronvasse:
Since the release and before that on this version

No issues what so ever

And in my opinion the most complete one.

Talking about battery life I dear to say it's the best one out there.

Tested the other well known also but this one with lean kernel 2.6 is the best.

I can't see the point of having always the latest firmware on my phone.

If that means trouble what's the point.

I'm a bit surprised that there are a lot who run the others and have loads of problems

A well its their loss or they are to chicken to flash the best one.

Having said that it's of course my opinion

Nice opinion Ron :D

Ok guys, we're in the process of rebasing to NF4, has a couple extra mods, kids mode, download booster usb 3.0 connection and an awesome AOSP theme. Should be ready for the weekend :cowboy::cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nihal1983:
great ROM

[MENTION=541750]sparkyb[/MENTION] ,

great job on the ROM , any ideas on an AOSP ROM :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
You work too hard, :D but it is MUCH appreciated...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
No.

and why would you want a crappy ROM that has even crappier signal and abysmal battery life?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
One oddity - I'm used to my messages having 140 character limit but this one is set to 70. Any way to improve that? Or is it just an arbitrary figure? (or for that matter is it a figure set by BGL-base ROM?)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Have it fixed now - I had Messaging as well as Messages from Restore so I swapped to Messaging as default app and it gives me the 140ch limit... :D

Ok guys, here it is...v4 based on XXUFNF4 :D

Normal flash routine, OP to be updated...

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561807

Massive thanks [MENTION=4469503]RErick[/MENTION], he did most of the re-base :)

2 bugs to mention:

Stock email app will fc if accessed from dropdown noti panel but funcions normally in every other way.

If power menu/restartui fail to work, install Busybox from playstore.

For those using Lean kernel on v3 you will need to update to the latest version or phone will not connect to pc....

Enjoy!! :silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Maybe

but you did the hard part. Tackling sysui is the worst of it:D thanks sparx
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] muhamet:
Thenks for the best rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
OP updated....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Kangal:
Sorry a bit late, but needs updating again.

Stock email crashes NOT if you access it from the Notification panel.

Stock email crashes EVERY TIME regardless of where you access it from, IF you have received a notification for it.

Proof:

Get email, hit the notification, app crashes, dismiss the notification, relaunch app and all is working fine.

Get email, dismiss the notification, app crashes, dismiss the prompt, relaunch app, works fine.

Get email, get a notif, launch app from launcher/shortcut, dismiss the prompt, relaunch app, works fine.

I launched the email app from TW Launcher, Apex PRO, Multiwindow, and Switchr... they all crash the app whenever there is a notification/email received.

Obviously something's broken in either the Email App or in the ROM.

Possible fixes:

1) Try an older version of email app (needs to be flashed from recovery)

2) Try a newer version of email app (if available)

3) Go bug-hunting in the ROM.

Other than that all is pretty good.

Just wondering if anyone's been able to get the "Volume Boosting MOD" to work with this. I'd like to bump up the volume (a bit) to the AUX so that it sounds better in my car stereo.

Also wondering if there's a Setting/MOD to stop TouchWizz from automatically re-setting the Volume Level for Media whenever the AUX is connected. It does this to "help my hearing" but honestly it rather causes me to bump the stereo high and blow my speakers. Resetting the Volume every time is inexcusable for a smartphone, let alone a superphone lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
The fix for volume resetting itself is to delete page buddy crap off of phone. (All of it)

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
On install you can choose stock or aosp/alliance, once flashed you can customise it with 1000's of endless possibilities. It also has theme packages for tw launcher and premade theme zips for Alliance Manager. With Alliance Manager you can also save your own creations and share/swap with other users...flash n play ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mduma77:
Tried that. Not working and I am not new to alliance customisation type.

So can anyone please enlighten me?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
So far, so good - only glitch was reinstalling everything via the TB 'Update.zip process - Messages and Contacts FC'd - so I reinstalled NF4 across the top (no wipe this time) and all seems good... except I got the no wireless at start issue. So I tried flashing the modem I used to fix it before and bricked the phone. Rebuilding it now... le sigh...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mduma77:
In every other app like settings , facebook, gmail, etc my statusbar acts normal i even tried to dim it to see if it take effect. It did. But on home screen keeps dissapearing.don t know what else to try. Goldie.....help plz. I would really love to use this rom cause is awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
[MENTION=2223398]NunHugger[/MENTION] fixed the status bar issue :D - thx man..

Got a couple of little missing mods and some fixes for you all, will add an update pack to ota then upload complete rom as v4.1
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mduma77:

Pfiuuu. That s a relief.

Eagerly waiting.

I ve been flashin thouthands times the rom since yesterday. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Breathe easy now and take a rest! :D

Will upload either very late tonight or some time tomorrow...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Well, that was fun... NOT!

Lost IMEI and Baseband - first time for everything I guess. Near as I can tell it happened because I'd swapped to TWRP - ever since SGS3 days I have run Philz or a variant of CWM more recently (due to seeing something about an incompatibility with Philz when I was having the e: error in Recovery)

It's all I can think of as to why this happened. The modem I flashed I had done before on Alliance v3 when I was having the original issue of wifi not starting when phone started.

I have spent the last day or so desperately trying things to get my phone back. It can be hard to do when you can't get the bastard to stay connected long enough to copy something from the PC. :( Tried all the ROM's I had on HDD and 3 different 'sure-fire' solutions for the IMEI restore.

Then I tried dr ketan's Tool from IMEI Tool N9005 Complete Backup - it didn't work either at first, but in the meantime I was DL'ing a BTU ROM from Sammobile - I figured the phone had originally had success moving away from the HK ROM it came with using a BTU version so the PIT etc should be OK with a new one. (based on getting a system.img size error when trying to flash via Odin.

It worked.

So now I have the NF4 Alliance running and just going through the set up to get it how I want. (e.g. deleting 143 apps and system crap I don't want) :D

*big sigh of relief!!!*
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
I fixed the status bar issue by unticking 'Make transparent' - the status bar IS there but can't be seen - swiping down from top brings the Notification panel with everything on it. I have a gradient colour on my status bar so didn't really want transparent anyway - soon as I untick it, the bar is there.

There's an email fix in OTA. I downloaded it and got a notify it was 100% but the OTA says 33%. Where does it DL to? (as in there was no install process)

All seems good so far. Couple of errors re Google Search and Call Backup app, but both had updates which sorted it. Antutu is slightly slower than previous at 34743 (was 35750) but all I have done so far is the Animation scale tweaks.

I have Lean kernel 3.3 on my SDCard - is that the one you mentioned as getting the latest? I'm not sure because the DL page for it looked different so I'm uncertain if I got the latest. I also DL'd a kernel - N3_AELKernel_v5 recommended for the latest Echoe ROM so will try that as well.

Thanks for all the people who put so much into this... :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Glad you're all back up and running mate :)

OTA will download to int sdcard/ota downloads, the folder is also accessible via recovery for flashing from there.

I'm currently on Lean 3.2, was newest at time of flashing. On v3 i think it version 2.6...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ronvasse:
Lean 3.4 is already out.

I run it and get about 7 hrs screen.

I don't debloat I just don't use the stuff.

Hahaha

I never seen someone who takes so many stuff out of a custom Rom

But good you're up and running again.

3.4 has no issues till so far btw

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
DL'd Lean 3.4 - will flash it when I have a better idea of user-level performance and see if it compares to 3.3 (current) or the N3-AEL one. I'm unsure about the benefits of lots of tweaks in a kernel - I used to use Siyah on the SGS3 and tried tweaks to get better performance but eventually found less is more where kernels go. Which is how I found Lean... :D Or maybe I just don't know how to tweak? :D

That's what I used to think... But the Note 3 is better spec'ed than a good laptop from maybe 2 years back. And Android reminds me of the DOS days when you could get your electronics to do almost anything if you knew the words to use. :D

So it's fun to get it working to a level where an Apple 5 user blinks at it and just walks away...

(c'mon... don't tell me none of you have done it? :D)

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

I rooted the missus' S4 Zoom and stripped out the crap and she was gobsmacked at the difference in performance. It's worth doing, just to free up RAM - on Alliance v3, normal install I had circa 1.2GB free, but after taking out the garbage I had 1.8GB+ on start. You might be surprised at what is sitting in your boot (trunk for Yanks :D) slowing things down for you... Stuff you never use...

According to TB I have 101 apps installed - USER apps, not system ones. All up with system stuff there's 308... AFTER I took out 143 of them.

Probably a good subject for a thread - How many apps do you have and how many have you NOT used in the past 3 months...? :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
When you get there Sparky, when you get there... Don't stress the new version, just let us play with this while you kick along at your own pace.

I'll have to nandroid, then run the ROM again and see what I take out - obviously I can't look at what I have and tick off a list 'cos I don't have them anymore. :D Unless someone knows of a list of standard apps/system etc? I'll post up a list of what I removed though - the phone seems very stable now.

And I am pretty sure it wasn't what I removed that caused the brick. I can't be positive but given what I read on here a while back about CWM and TWRP having different structures, what happened to me sounded like that. Last time I saw the system.img size fail in Odin was when I was trying to get away from the Hong Kong setup that came with the phone.

The fix this time was similar (except I didn't lose IMEI that time) as in it seemed to be a wrong partition size.

More soon on what apps...

The message limit issue is still with me. I have 2 apps for messages I can use, one called Messages and one called Messaging. Messaging gives me a 140 char limit on screen but breaks SMS's into small blocks to send - obviously NOT a good thing when you get charged per SMS. Messages has a 70 char limit that I'd like to increase to 140 but can't find how.

Is there a way to check whether a text is being broken up into multiple messages other than contacting others to ask what they received?

Is the 70 char limit a European thing that I might need to change by flashing something else? (bit nervous about flashing another Modem after the last episode... :D

I have a DL of an Aussie ROM, N9005XXUENE3 and a UK ROM, N9005XXUFNF4 that I can try. I'm on TWRP for recovery so hopefully will avoid the brick issue I had.

Any advice is welcome.

[MENTION=4207059]sparky b[/MENTION] - here's a strange one. I use CallLogsBackupRestore and also SMSBackupRestore to ensure I don't lose data on installs. Up till now I have been able to backup and restore to&from folders on my extSDCard called (unsurprisingly) /call logs and /smslogs.

Now I get a warning telling me the device will not allow me to backup to those folders and instead I have to use the App folder on the extSDCard - i.e. /Android/data/com.riteshsahu.callLogBackupRestore/files - and it then gives a warning that if I uninstall the app I will lose that info. I'm not positive it is to do with v4 but it is strange and the apps don't show any such change on Play Store. And they still offr the extSDCard folders as options prior to telling me the device will not let me use them.

Any ideas what is going on?
