Here's a quick little workaround for avoiding the OTA notification - it just edits 4 lines of your build.prop. Flash it and let me know if things improve. IF you already have the notification, you'll likely have to go into recovery and wipe cache as well...

On my Nexus Prime there was a cool little APP available called PGM which has now been renamed to Touch Control. It would allow you to wake up your device by swiping your finger across the screen instead of hitting the power button, is there an N3 equivalent?

The zip wouldn't flash for me. Just fails.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Craniotomy:
Try downloading the file again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
If reDLing doesn't work - could you give a little more info on the fail? At times the recovery will spit out an error number as to the cause of the fail, some recoveries generate a log that you can grab before rebooting, etc. - these might be useful in chasing down what's going on.

If you have the ability to check md5s of files, the md5 of that file should be 8DF6F94EC0827B7F73BA1942A395F940

Hi. Has the dust settled from the kitkat litter such that there will be a return to focus on current Tweaked or are we moving on to an inevitable Tweaked-kat... Just askin' ...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
I plan on posting my little vrtheme update zip tonight. I had a few little bugs to iron out that I believe have been now, and in the course of doing so a few new things got added at the last minute of course lol.

I will not be updating the modificatinator or anything like that - this will just be a little 20ish mb vrtheme-style update zip - mostly smali stuff. I am 99.999% sure that it will play nice with pretty much any theme that already plays nice with Tweaked, so that's a bonus :)

There will be a little bit of legwork that folks will need to do if they are currently using either the dark email posted by [MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] or the dark mms option from the modificatinator (which is based on the one done by [MENTION=4304825]foreverloco[/MENTION] - so that would also include that one or the one in his theme or the one in [MENTION=665910]wally3614[/MENTION]s themes) involving the editing and placement of a dark.prop file into the TweakedInstall directory before flashing the zip, but other than that it'll be pretty straight forward.

Once that's done I'll be sticking around on 4.3 for a few more days in case there are any issues... then I plan on making the no-going-back (I could use the extra motivation truth be told) leap to 4.4.2 and start that journey. We'll see how well that plan sticks to schedule :)

Allow me to pose the following question... If Kitkat came first and then the current Tweaked came out, what would folks be talking about on these threads? My guess is that Tweaked would be considered a massive improvement over kitkat (maybe at the expense of a couple things, but there is some loss of functionality with kitkat too...). So if being a weirdo is liking a very stable, extremely functional and beautifully themed phone count me in! Perhaps all the wierdo's should band together and form "Weirdo Club".

I updated with the new zip last night and now have a problem using the default messaging app. The background of the box I type the message is black

as well as the letters I type so I can't see what I'm typing. If I send that message it will appear in the bubble but it would be nice to see what I'm typing first! This was fine before I updated. Is there a way to change the color of font I type in or the background? I've always used the transparent version of tweaked and have wally3614's blue theme for transparent. So am I a total noob here? Can I change the font color in either settings in messaging app or in TSM or is it something else. Hope it is not some conflict with exposed module. Regardless, in the mean time, I can use Hangouts instead. Thanks!

Hi wally3814. Thanks for trying to help but I had tried the options in your screen shot and they change the fonts in the bubbles and in the sent and received message when you open messaging. Any other suggestions?

Well, you get the prize for getting it right! So how can I change the font color? Do I have to mod the app? I've done it before with some other stuff but I'm pretty bad at this. Also tried a short search using google and I think you can do this on kitkat. Oh the irony!

No prob. Did you try any themes? It might fix your problem. Look for galaxysman theme, black and color theme in the theme section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nijel8:
That color should be "composer_edit_field_color" in colors.xml.

i keep telling everybody search in smali by id for anything you see and can identify on a particular layout and you can find what you are looking for.

Maybe I should make a How-To for themers how to find things on particular screen by searching for public.xml ids in smali.

Hey dwitherell, just wanted to say I know the latest update was just a small one but the things you added are not small.

Suggested Features

I saw you're working on the 4.4.2 behemoth, so I have some suggestions for the up and coming baddest ROM in existence:

Nighttime rendering: Also known as colour temperature, this is the ability to render the graphics in colours more suitable to the human eye dependent upon ambient lighting. There's real science behind this. Examples are EasyEyes Free for Android and f.lux for PC. Furthermore, I combine Screen Dimmer with EasyEyes Free because it has a colour filter (i.e. red) that's even better for keeping night vision but it's a bit unstable used together. F.lux's "darkroom mode" is out-of-this-world awesome. A one-stop shop like your ROM would be great. I understand EasyEyes (the paid version) has slidebars in a widget so that would great also.

TV glass: Another way to describe it may be a fisheye-type of render. We see it all over the place with devs and companies adding the appearance to icons, etc., so if everything on the phone could be rendered in fisheye (or TV glass) in just the corners or even the whole screen (can we say slidebars!?), that would bring a level of comfort just not seen on today's tech. We all grew up with it on our old televisions so I say do it! This would fit nicely next to the CRT animations but dwitherell knows best. (; This example is extreme, this example is less extreme, but I think just the sides and corners would be optimal (not pictured). Just like an old CRT TV screen!

Settings shortcuts: No need to explain this. But an example would be my vitriol hunting down mono audio deep within the bowels of settings. My love for a homesceen toggle would cover leaps and bounds.

Flashlight tweaks: I understand the Note 3 actually has 15 brightness levels for the flashlight but I'm not sure. Xposed Torch: Physical Buttons gets that firing the screen up to turn on the flashlight just ain't cool. XPosed Torch: Physical Buttons doesn't do anything for brightness levels so button combinations could bring the user not only the ability to turn the flashlight on (and off), but also control the level of brightness.

I'm sure I missed some things but that's all for now! Good luck and thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nijel8:
I really have no much time right now for detail how to but here is how I found that particular text color above. It should give you an idea for anything else you need to find. Let me say first big THANK YOU to Virtuous Ten Studio creator [MENTION=2295247]Diamondback[/MENTION] for the great tool, which makes modding apps very easy.

OK, decompile SecMms.apk with generated Java Code from smali which makes them readable and you can easy follow the logic behind all screens and layouts. So we have this screen(see attached screenshot) and we want to change the color of the message text we type. We see the hint text in the edit field that we can easy identify, right...? We open /res/values/strings.xml and we search for that text in it "Enter message" and we find his string name = "enter_message_hint". Then we search in public.xml for that name and we find his id=0x7f0c0216. Now we go in the generated java code folder and search for that id in all .java files - it is found in 3 files: R.java, AirButtonMainActivity.java and ComposeMessageFragment.java. Now the last one is more likely to be the one we gonna need, his name makes sense for what we are looking for to change, right? This is the code that should give us some hint:

....
mMmsRichContainer.setHintRes([COLOR="Red"]0x7f0c0216[/COLOR]);
....

Now, we need to find what is mMmsRichContainer so we search for it in the same java file and we find this:

...
mMmsRichContainer = (MmsRichContainer)mComposeView.findViewById(0x7f0b00ad);
mMmsRichContainer.setTextColor([COLOR="Red"]mTextColor[/COLOR]);
...

This code sets the typed text color we are looking for to mTextColor. So we continue to search for mTextColor and we find this this method which tell us what is that color:

...
private void setTextFieldColor(int i)
{
mTextFieldColor = i;
mEditorBg = 0x7f02024d;
if (MmsConfig.isWhiteTheme())
{
mTextColor = getResources().getColor([COLOR="Red"]0x7f0202b0[/COLOR]);
return;
} else
{
mTextColor = getResources().getColor([COLOR="Red"]0x7f090044[/COLOR]);
return;
}
}
...

So if it isWhiteTheme email the color id=0x7f0202b0, otherwise color id=0x7f090044. isWhiteTheme is a boolean in MmsConfig.smali set by Samsung to "false" in stock SecMms probably b/c they were too lazy to finish the Black Theme. So as a themer you should know if you have changed it or not and what of the 2 color ids above is the one you will search for back in public.xml, where you find the color name in colors.xml you need, and change the color as you like, finally.

Hope all this explanation makes sense...;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
You needed to opt for the dark-friendly mms when you flashed the update. If you reflash the update w/ the mms set to 1 in dark.prop that text will be white.

Hi nijel8. I tried to mod SecMms.apk using apktool. Set composer_edit_field_color to a grey (#ffaaaaaa) but it did not change things as far as I could tell.

What I did:

Using apktool used the following commands

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool d SecMms.apk

I then modded the file, compiled, signed it and then reinstalled SecMms.apk (also tried putting it back in syetem/app and changing to usual permission).

I guess the good news is that I did't brick my phone! Do I need to do something else?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi dwitherell, I'm also confused here. Where is dark.prop? I can't seem to find it. Perhaps I'm now paying the price for doing the basic install? I did check TweakedInstall directory but nothing about dark.prop. I suppose my preference is to actually mod the SecMms.apk but as mentioned above no luck yet. Btw. Happy Saint Patty's day!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mortifix:
First off I want to say thanks for making such a great ROM! I have run into an issue after flashing that I have not seen before. Sometimes when I get a call, I can see my phone ringing but when I answer there is no audio. I can't hear or be heard. The only way to resolve this is to reboot my phone. I did install ViperAudioFX, could that play a role in this problem? Also, the boot time seems a bit long ( 2 minutes and 20 seconds), is this normal or do I have a bad flash?

Thank you for your contribution!! :good::good:

-Mortifix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
What kernel are you using? If not the stock one, try going back to that and see if things improve in terms of boot time. I would uninstall viperaudio to test the call audio issue as well - that is not something I've encountered. Has anyone also had issues like that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johntuck77:
I had problems with Viper too - My 2Line phone service wouldn't work at all so I changed it and it was fine. Don't know what your problem is exactly but my recommendation is do a nandroid backup and then reinstall the rom and see what happens if yo uinstall it without Viper. If it works you know for sure

Good Luck
