I have to agree, sometimes no matter what I do I get drain, but most of the time if I wait it'll level out giving me a more accurate assessment. I usually wait about 2 cycles in order to make a determination.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
So this isn't my first spin around the block using the advanced approach for install, but for some God forsaken reason, I can't get Ver 2 to recognize the install. prop file when I'm flashing. Pretty much installs every app, then won't boot because there's no kernel being installed and I'm running CM, which isn't compatible kernel wise.. So it just sits on the initial boot screen.

Anyway, file name is unchanged, place the file in root.. But it just isn't being seen..... Any advice on a particular directory in root that might help? Thanks in advance!

shell in computing provides a user interface for access to an operating system's kernel services. "Shell" is also used loosely to describe applications, including software that is "built around" a particular component, such as web browsers and email clients that are, in themselves, "shells" for HTML rendering engines. The term "shell" in computing, being the outer layer between the user and the operating system kernel, is synonymous with the general word "shell".

No I haven't it's weird? Was just curious in order to identify any battery drainers... since I hadn't seen this before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
It's seems to me from the definition that shell almost sounds like SystemUI.apk

That being said I've seen it pop up occasionally. And then poof it's gone.. lol. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

My advice is to flash a TW kernel right after you flash the ROM, that way you will be able to boot your phone. I get my Tweaked install folder on external SD Card and that flash everything like I set it up before hand.

Not having to deal with aroma freezing

All the kewl kids are using the advanced install approach. ...... Just saying

And the fact that dwitherell like making things work. (Which is awesome).... regarding the aroma freezing statement. That's why dwith doesn't use aroma to just flash the rom.

How frustrating is it to run thru the whole aroma deal to have it freeze right before the flash.... myrom did that to me so many times:mad::mad:

I finally did the change and now I'm using this rom. 2 questions though. How do I make the toggles stock like so I can only see 5 per row and how can I change the limit of how many toggles I can remove from being seen from the toggle bar bar when I slide left or right? Ty
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
OK update. What happens is first system sounds lock up if I open up volume control it is greyed out and then when it sleeps it reset wallpaper.

TWEAKED 2.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Melodic13:
Welcome!

In Settings>Device>TSM Parts>Statusbar are some options to mess with toggles. Personally I've never messed with them, I am content with the rom's original layout :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CoogiMane1996:
Thanks for the assistance but I already been there no progress. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
The only way to only see 5 per row is to set the number of toggles in tsmparts > statusbar settings. The downside (and related to your second question) is this also limits the number of toggles seen when you slide left/right - i.e. it won't slide. There's no current way to show 5 and have it scroll - sorry :(

So when you open volume control system sounds lock up (how do the sounds lock up? Like the settings oage freezes?), and then the wallpaper resets? That's the only time it happens?

After flashing your rom, i right away used TiBu and started removing bloats and that includes mymagazines. Does that affect the email from opening?

Also, for the battery is not really a big deal. I was just pointing out what I noticed because from fully charging it to 100% then doin some light web browsing, checking feeds etc., i noticed im down to 90% in less than a few minutes. I dont turn on my LTE all day but only when required. Ill do some comparison when I got time.

Another thing i noticed, lets say im downloading an app from gplay, then when that millisecond status changes to installing, the homescreen pops up suddenly then reverts back to gplay again. I also noticed it when running quadrant benchmark, the desktop pops up then jumps back to the app whenever it changes different test mode. ie. Quadrant: Pattern > Desktop appears > Maze > Desktop appears > Planet > Desktop > DNA. I compared it to my Note 2 and d/l Quadrant and there was no screen change. I ran the app and you get, Pattern > Black screen > Maze > Black screen...etc.

Other than that, its been great so far. I really appreciate you taking the time to create this wonderful rom for us. :good:

Kindly check your pm. There is another thing i need some clarification. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
From what I can tell the e-mail FC is centered on the notification side of it - it may be specific to when you try to go into the e-mail (or maybe even look at the notification) from the pulldown, but I haven't tested that much tbh.

And yes, keep me posted on the battery life stuff - I ran stock unedited unrooted for a few weeks before I really started messing with anything to get a feel for "typical" baseline battery performance, and on the balance that type of performance hasn't changed much over time (this is all on stock kernel - the kernel is one thing that can definitely alter/hopefully-improve battery life, way more so than the rom).

The screen flash you see is a necessary evil of the system-wide transparency. This is one of those things that you either love or don't - the default setup has it transparent, but you can use the modificatinator to switch back to a true opaque setup - at which point I would expect the pattern you saw on the note2 would return.

Saw the PM - responded :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Hi dirtybudha. I tried Lean Kernel when using tweaked v1. I'm not sure what happened but I got a nasty boot loop that I could not get to stop even after doing a long press to restart (for some reason doing this can generally get me out of boot loops - other extreme option is the battery pull of course). So I went back into recovery and flashed saber red kernel again. With current tweaked v2 I lose very little battery when idle (for example, I unplugged the charger at 2am and at 6am the batter was at 99%) and during general use I lose about 3% batter per hour which is more than enough to get through the day. I don't OC or UV and generally have plenty of battery to spare for a days use. I guess I could try LK again but at this point I don't have a compelling reason to change.... I guess if folks claim they can get much better battery life I'll give it another whirl as our power companies can be unreliable around here at times.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this but ive been trying all day to use this rom.

The phone doesnt randomly reboot just randomly shuts down completely. Any suggestions?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Melodic13:
Okay so I'm going through the advanced set up, what does "you save the file using a UNIX end-of-line format." I opened up the TweakedInstall folder using Notepad++. Do I need to do anything else to ensure its in the proper format, or as long as I open it in Notepad++ should be fine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] edgeez25:
Cool... Thanks for the clarification.... Now it's time to flash :D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
It will be fine. Super simple just make sure you save "tweaked install" at the root of your storage ( no folders)

sent from my ??????? note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Essentially yes - all the changes that happened after that were minor fixes or were in regards to install processes and what not :)

Is there any rhyme or reason to when the shutdown occurs? What kernel are you using? I would try using the stock kernel if you aren't already using that one to see if things improve - I used that one exclusively through the whole make-this-mess-of-a-rom project and never once had a scenario where I had the phone shut down and require a battery pull to restart. Not sure it's the culprit, but given the description it seems kernel issues are at least plausible - keep me posted.

Nice - so it worked for you then, yes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Persianhawkes:
I was using the kernel from intrigue. I guess i should try with stock kernel. Thanks for the quick reply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
Geez!!

Now I have to install this shortly after the "beta"?

Thanks man, thanks a lot!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Huh - I used that one for quite a bit w/out issues, but from what I can tell experiences like "it worked for me" are rarely a good indicator that it will work for everyone else unfortunately when it comes to kernels. The stock kernel is the exception of course - otherwise samsung would have some issues :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] arctic84:
Also had some issues with stuff crashing on the intrigue kernel.. both on ur beta and ur 1.0 roms :eek:. Switched out the kernel and everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for the feedback - and good to know :) I'll have to add in something to one of the initial posts that makes such possibilities a bit more salient for folks!

basic approach prepare install zip

Using the basic/super simple approach.

How do these aroma options get installed if you go right to installing main zip after creating? Does flashing the actual rom pick this file up somehow?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
The basic installer (aroma) makes a folder called tweaked install on the root of the sd and like u said the tweaked. Zip picks up the options.... Not quite sure how.. That's Dwiths ? baby.. ... I think it might be magic ?He did that because aroma has tendencies to freeze...

sent from my ??????? note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
ALWAYS remember that no 2 phones, even of the same model, will act the same. I, personally, had experienced this with 2 Galaxy S2s and a ROM. So it's not terribly surprising that your phone didn't like Lean Kernel.

I'm not one for jumping around kernels, but it never hurts to try new ones. If it works then HELLS YEAH! If not, then there are a handful of others to try...and ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING.

That applies to phones and public flashing.

I've decided to try Faux's kernel and it's working fairly well, but I'm only 24hrs in.

I like Lean Kernel and it works on my phone. I unplugged at 100% battery and went to 99% after going back to bed for 3-4 hours.

Sucks your phone hates Lean Kernel, but several Tweaked users have used/are using it. It is good to know that Saber Red Kernel works, as I had wondered if it would play well.

I lost punctuation on my keyboard overnight. .. really weird
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Hmm... probably going to need more info on this to help unfortunately.

- What do you mean by losing punctuation - like you cannot get to them anymore at all, or is it a longpress access sort of thing?

- What keyboard?

- When was the last time you remember seeing punctuation on that keyboard?

- Any new mods/themes/etc. that you have tried or updated since that time?

This ought to be a decent start - otherwise I have nothing as to why it would've happened - although maybe a csc file change perhaps...? I feel like I remember that happening for someone in the past.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nlarge:
Long press on samsungime is whats missing. Can get them on google keyboard. They were there yesterday.

I added pandora patcher... but I uninstalled and no change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
My guess (and that is all it is at this point) is that somehow that process (that's an xposed module yes?) altered one of your /system/csc files. This is the most likely scenario as samsungime listens for things in that file and google keyboard does not - hence the difference in behavior there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nlarge:
That being said.... how do I get it back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
It'll be in /system/csc of whatever rom you might be one - my guess is either your feature.xml or your other.xml file (or maybe both) got edited somehow, so grab a stock version of those and you should be fine.

Alternatively - you can try to find the line to edit to get it back and manually change it on your phone.

I don't know this for certain, but if you opted for that approach I would start in feature.xml... probably trying to edit CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary first (just need to add in things like en_US in there I believe). Perhaps others can chime in, but if not I'd make sure it looked like this:

<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>en_US;es;es_US</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>

That looks to be what it should be for stock anyway. Hopefully this is what the issue was - apologies if not.

Im on tweaked v1 if you have the xml files... otherwise time to upgrade
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
@ dwitherell I lost my APN settings. Well, actually I flashed the ROM. All was good. Let all my apps download from Google play. The I flashed my nandroid backup that I made for Tweaked v1, data only. It replaced the newer APN from Tweaked v2 with the ones I had on Tweaked v1. So I deleated those APNs cause I know you had a different one that had installed with v2 for tethering I think. Then I used the modificator to flash the AT&T carrier again, but I got no APNs installed. Am I gonna have to replace the whole ROM? Or maybe you can just tell me the APN settings and I can just remake them?

Haha. Sorry bout that. This all started cause my LTE signal strength has not been good the past couple days so I was messing around with APNs and such.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
From the original v1 install zip, pull out /system/csc/feature.xml and push it using root explorer or something of the like into the /system/csc/ folder on your phone. Set permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--), reboot, and see if it helps.

The preset APNs didn't change between v1 and v2 actually - did you delete them in secsettings or deleted the apns-conf.xml file? Is there a reset defaults option in secsettings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
I deleated them in secsettings. I re-did the one for AT&T phone, but I could have sworn there was an APN for tethering that I saw there when I first installed v2, that is no longer there. This is for AT&T by the way, not t mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Those preset ones are populated by the csc files, so it would make sense that there would be a difference between v1 and v2 as you are now using ATT csc files - have you tried going in to the main APNs area in SecSettings, then hitting menu and selecting Reset to default?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
Ha. It fixed it up. I did not even know that existed. Many thanks.
