Kids, kids, stop the bickering. There were no substantive changes from 4.3 to 4.4 that would drastically increase battery life. About the only major improvement is a more efficient and effective radio, which will increase life by reducing consumption.

Take your phone off autopilot with brightness and other features and you'll see life improve. Many of the convenience features like auto brightness and cpu control actually reduce performance. Which is why true aosp roms will always outperform any other rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
OK kid...for one the radio is worse for me as well as many others which is why a lot of people have went back to the mje radio. Obviously it depends on your location. And two, I never use auto brightness or any cpu control apps. The ONLY thing that I have done is upgrade to KK lol so common sense says the problem is in the upgraded firmware. And nothing that you said has anything to do with AOSP. You think AOSP roms don't have auto brightness or cpu control features? Lol AOSP is superior because it's vanilla android. I've ran AOSP on every phone I've had except this one. I'm done now. Nitro, I apologize for the off topic discussion.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hecksagon:
The Zerolemon battery comes with a case. It adds about 1/2" to the thickness and is about average for a case in width and length. It also roughly doubles the weight.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
Testy. My reply wasn't at you, it was at the bickering over the 4.4 build being better or worse. Read the changelogs, it's purely to allow more compatibility with nav and other features, not substantial performance like when we went from gb to ics. Better and worse, no offense, is subjective. Unless you do some benchmarks, you're just reporting on reception, which caries on location and system maintenance. But there ARE improvements to the new rils that increase reception, whether you choose to agree or not, thems is facts.

And the auto pilot features I'm referring to are things like Samsung power saver. That **** actually causes more trouble than letting an interactive governor ramp the cpu off use. There's so much **** woven into the Samsung build, it's amazing we get decent battery life at all... It requires tweaking that stuff off to get better life, which is counterintuitive.

That said, I miss the aosp themed rom, even if it has a terrible Samsung base. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] troc240:
Any chance you will be working with kit kat for this phone Nitro?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yes this upcoming build will be kit kat based off the new nc2 build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
So, decided to get unlazy and Odined back to MJE and installed this ROM ... SO glad I did! Amazing implementation of AOSP!! Really digging it thus far!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Awesome. Sounds like a flashing "fix". I hope you feel better! ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
That's actually what I'm about to do as soon as my phone is fully charged. After spending quite a bit of time on KK, I'm gonna revert AGAIN to MJE lol. Eclipse is by far the best ROM I have ran. Period.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I was digging KK, but was having significant signal issued (constantly dropping to 3G) no matter what radio I used. Figure a flash back to MJE was in order.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
I was thinking of going back to mje as well. Could someone please pm me a link to galaxy gadgets lite? The link is down and all I really want are the inverted system apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
OK, new to this ROM and not understanding the all apps in multi window ... I edit the apps I want in there, but instead of them opening in multi window one app is opening on top of the other. What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dredhead4:
Some apps are just incompatible and won't let you use multiwindow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I installed this app and all is well now

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.mwappsmanager

Apps I want/need to function in multi window are doing so ever so nicely ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
So, I finally Odin'd back to 4.3 to get back on Eclipse goodness. As I'm not a fan of Nova launcher, donno why, I tried to install the Google Now launcher and every time, I get this:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I thought GEL was for 4.4. I could be wrong though
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I was under the same impression
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
I used it on 4.3 with other ROMs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Maybe it was a modified ver.

Gonna have to to what Nitro says.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Just installed fine on beans jb but would not install on Eclipse for me either.

Edit. Other thing I can't figure out is why I can't open mc3. Always says network error. All other 4.3 roms work fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] renee613:
Has anyone had any issues with VZW stock 4.4 automatically downloading on their phone? I went to send a text message and noticed 4.4 was about 25% downloaded. I went to system settings and selected NO THANKS for the download and cancelled. I ask because I thought the ROM was set up to automatically decline VZW system updates.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Haven't seen it, but assume the same thing you do. That could be a issue. Lucky you caught it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
More than likely it would not install successfully anyways. But sdm1.0 I thought was taken out of the rom. Hmmm. Yeah you don't want any trouble. I guess look for it and freeze it with Tibu.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Thanks for that pointer Harley. It was in fact there on tibu. Just froze it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
I had to freeze mine as well. It started this morning. No thanks vzw.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] renee613:
Thanks for the tip. I just froze it as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
If anyone could pm me a link to the dark system apps I would really appreciate it. I tried downloading through galaxy gadgets and the link doesn't work anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
I believe they are the ones in the OP from playstore that require a minimal donation.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
No those are Google apps
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RayMcGrath:

I already have it lol the link within the app is not working
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Man I just deleted it the other day too. I would of been more than happy to hook you up. I can't install the app anymore since on 4.4.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
(disclaimer - my next comment is in no way a compliant or gripe over no KK Eclipse [emoji6])

Having run this ROM for about 24+ hours now I can see why the KK release hasn't dropped yet ... The amount of work that must go into this ROM is unimaginable!!! Really great work and I am so digging the AOSP aspects of the ROM with the N3 goodies still available!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Hells yeah Nitro spends countless hrs writing code. He's a great dev that I truly appreciate. And that's why Eclipse is always my go to rom.

I can only imagine the grief the ol lady gives him hahaha

Guys Nitro needs coffee and beer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Haha ... I can only imagine the amount of time (and grief taken) that goes into each build! Way (WAY) back in the OG Droid days I used to theme and I had to give it up due to the all consuming nature of it all ... I really have no idea how these devs do it!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dredhead4:
I actually ran one of your themes back in the day. God that was so long ago ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
So YOU'RE the one! LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
Man that sucks! I know someone out there still has the zip on their phone lol I wanna see black everywhere!

All your Blacked out apps in one place. They have an app as well but I can't find it now. I use it extensively. And not just Google Apps, but others as well. Very responsive as well - they've dealt with issues over Twitter a couple of times for me. Turned out it was my fault - 1st implementation of Halo blocked app installs when it was running.

Check 'em out. All their work has been flawless for me thus far.

Hey nitro, harley ..nice rom( donation pending pay check.)....One question ...is there a 4G issue here I can't get more then two bars if 3g....In a normally heavy 4G area. Ny,ny.

does lte = 4G p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dredhead4:
Hey does anybody know why Google play services is killing my battery? The only thing I did to my phone for the past few days is stop using power save mode. I went from about 6 hours sot to about 4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oryanh:
I had this issue before and clearing cache, and data of the Google play services app, then removing and re-adding my google account resolved it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
No you shouldn't have any 4G problems. It's AOSP so it's not going to fluff the signal like TW does.

Check your dbm's.

Ate you using the mje baseband and kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chefb:
Yes I'm using what ever came with the rom/4.3....I think I read some where about touch wiz fluffing signal, I was surprised to see the lte instead of 4G ..When I had the nexus the was still a 4G logo...no biggie

in the next version will the battery percentage be fixed cut I won't apply when checked. Thanks for the feed back btw
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Not sure on the battery percentage option since he themes the status bar.

He does have some circle with percentage available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
The app listed in the OP will get you the battery tweaks ... among other useful tweaks. Awesome app and well worth the small monetary fee to support such an awesome ROM! IMHO
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Can't seem to get the camera burst shot to work ... I don't use it too often so it's very likely user error LOL. Can anyone confirm whether or not it's working for them?

Edit: Never mind ... Reboot got it going
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GrainOsand:
Nitro,

If you have a 4.4 progress build and would like to share, please send me a PM. I can't take this Stock note 3 any longer...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Lol we are all feeling the same way. [MENTION=3247702]nitroglycerine33[/MENTION] is on hiatus from anything android at the present moment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
After running stock NC2 for a while and now back on 4.3 with this awesome ROM, I much prefer the battery life I'm getting now! Just my $0.02
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] itzsteven:
hey guys im running tihs wonderful rom right now but my phone keeps downloading the software update whenever im on wi-fi, i dont wanna update the software because ill lose this rom, is there anything i can flash to disable the software update? thank you!!

EDIT: NVM, i went to settings -> about phone -> software update -> no thankyou

and it cancelled the update!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the death of me:
Thinking of trying Hyper 4.4 while I'm waiting on Eclipse. Any thoughts? FYI... I will certainly flash to Eclipse 4.4 as soon as it's available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oryanh:
It's something to do I guess... I suppose it would only make you appreciate Eclipse even more when its out. Go for it... Let us know what you think.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Check posts 1445 and 1446. If you have tibu you may want to do this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
Guys, I just want to say that Nitro usually takes his time with the updates because of what Harley constantly alludes to... He writes & rewrites all his code from scratch. (You guys don't know how KEY that is.)

His work is always very polished because of his due diligence. He puts time into his work & it shows. Yes he may not provide constant updates like other dev's but when he gives an update it's usually the cream of the crop & works incredibly well.

I have been on XDA for a VERY long time, (longer than my official join date) & dev's who consistently drop updates on the regular are usually not polished & are just "duct tape" jobs if you will. (I like jerry rigs also. lol) Nitro on the other hand takes his time to ensure his work, just works. That is what makes Nitro & his Eclipse "Brand" so different & wonderful. Eclipse on Android 4.4.2 is going to be GREAT. Based on Nitro's track record, you guys can expect nothing but the best. :good:

Patience is a virtue & Nitro always delivers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsomnus:
There's nothing wrong with trying other roms while you wait! There are a couple really good ones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chefb:
How could the update be successful if it download over the rom? Plus I thought rooms would block that whole process.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
There is never anything wrong with trying other ROM's. :highfive: This is XDA, a ROM's buffet that is free of charge. :silly: Flash till your hearts content. :cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Probably wouldn't, and that was always my impression. Though I have no desire to click accept and test my understanding of roms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
I'm actually on hyperdrive right now and is actually the best *IMO* 4.4 ROM that's out. I've literally tried all of them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oryanh:
Can you share some of the areas hyperdrive excels at?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] papanut:
On my third phone using nitro's rom and have always appreciated his less frequent but high quality releases.

Having said that I'll put a plug in for bigginsrom has been good. His 4.4 along with a universal theme I found and the NC4 modem is running good for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] XzxBATTxzX:
Is the nc4 modem better than nc2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] papanut:
For me it's been good. It's been interesting to me though how some users, with battery life, the kitkat update, modems, just how its not consistent. Some users have not liked the results and others, like me, have had no issues with the updates.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GrainOsand:
Got it! Scott thanks...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mvlamberti:
I'm with you on this one. TouchWiz is making me twitch. I've got 6 days left to take this phone back and this rom seems like the only thing keeping me from doing that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yea hopefully we can get something going soon. Nitro has been super busy with work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mvlamberti:
Totally understandable. I don't know how some of these guys do it. I remember my first ROM on my Tab 10.1. The dude had a full time job and (I think) a single dad and some how found time to churn out updates for a pretty killer rom. I don't mind donating when it comes to things like this. These guys put a TON of hard work in to this stuff and sometimes don't even get a simple "thank you" out of people.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] NuclearBier:
I am currently on Eclipse v1.1, how do I go about updating to Android 4.4? Should I take the the pesky OTA or just wait until Nitro releases the kitkat version?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Don't take the OTA. Your going to have to flash the NC2 leak with safestrap 3.65 and then flash the firmware in odin.

If you follow the instructions here you will be golden and ready for Nitro to release Eclipse 4.4.2.

*** How To Update From JB 4.3 To KK 4.4.2 On Verizon RETAIL NOTE 3 ***
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
I can honestly say, using the google now launcher with the DPI set to 350 changes EVERYTHING. Makes the phone so much better. The sad part is, for some reason, Eclipse won't install the GEL. But still, between Eclipse and GEL, those are the only reason why I kept the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I wish I could dive into this GEL issue. But I am on 4.4.2 awaiting Nitros build. Hopefully we can get the Google launcher working with Eclipse 4.4.2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Totally agree on that. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] harrytery:
GEL worked fine for me on eclipse. It was after I downgraded from 4.4.2 back to 4.3 so I was on a fresh install
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
This goes to anyone who is getting the OTA reminder on your phone. Yesterday I got the OTA from Verizon to update to Android 4.4.2.

Now I have this terrible reminder in my drop down. To get rid of the reminder I used a root browser & navigated to system>app>SDM.apk.

I renamed SDM.apk to SDM.apk.bak & now I don't have that pesky reminder there looking at me. :good:

I hope that helps anyone who is having that busted constant reminder in their drop down.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
GEL worked before, then went to 4.4 then back to 4.3..... twice.... And then it wouldn't install. Even without GEL, Eclipse 4.3 was still amazing. Well, with Nova launcher or GEL at least. I hate everything TW and will never use it as my default launcher.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
Since the overall mood is we are anxious for Nitro to get us some AOSP love, I think it is prudent for me to chime in (plus I'm back from vacation)..

If anyone can deal with the TW trash by using all black wallpaper and my suggestions for a few (weather and nav) apps for home screen feel plus my list of TB app freezes for 1 day of off charge time (4+ screen on and some game playing plus phone calls), the 4.4.2 leak from it seems like way back then isn't all bad.

Mind you I super miss Eclipse..like a fat kid misses cake, buuuut, the leaked TW rom isn't really too bad. I haven't had the radio/battery issues that have been attached nor have I tried any other 4.4.2.based roms solely because I can wait. I prefer Guiness so I'll wait for a 4.4.2. Eclipse..

My question is for those who have tried others...what were your likes and dislikes...might also help Nitro with what to work in and not...

Just a thought guys and gals. Be safe this holiday weekend too. Enjoy family time this holiday Nitro.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Maybe a Memorial weekend Eclipse release.

I'm like this waiting for my Eclipse rom.????????lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
HAHA! brother so am I, I'm just trying to not add to any pressure for Nitro :silly:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I know I'm totally just having fun haha.

Nitro is so laid back he doesn't care when we're having fun messing with him.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mvlamberti:
My dislikes are mainly:

- Tiles in the main notification shade

- The TW lockscreen

- Inability to edit screenshots with the Photos app that comes with the new Google Camera. (This one really eats away at me)

I'm sure I can think of more, but that's what comes to mind first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
I never had a compliant with battery life on my N3, but I definitely noticed a dip in my "end of day percentage" when I jumped on the NC2 leak. Having come back to MJE and flashed this ROM I am amazed at what I an getting now ... Not sure if it's 4.3, the ROM or both but it's definitely a welcome improvement ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chefb:
How/ where did you get that battery screen.

Let's go Rangers! Clap... Clap... Clap, Clap, Clap!

I love the Rangers also. Was there at MSG when they lowered the Stanley Cup from the scoreboard. I also was there for Game 7 Vs. the NJ Devils. Things are looking ohh so similar again.

I think it's the TW ROM that's doing it, to be honest. When I was on MJE TW the battery life was not as good as MJE Eclipse... If the correlation translates the same, the NC2 version of Eclipse will be better than the TW version of the NC2 leak. :fingers-crossed:

Definitely going to keep my fingers crossed...

I'm waiting for this rom so anxiously. I have the 4.4.2 hyperdrive rom and it is excellent especially the battery life. Having said that, nothing tops AOSP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Xanza89:
So I wasn't paying attention earlier and accidentally accepted the update to KK. I've been running Eclipse since it was released and I do not want to update to kitkat. I immediately yanked the battery but when I reboot my phone it goes to recovery and tries to install the update. How can I get around this? I really don't want to lose Eclipse, there has to be some sort of fix to this...I found it odd that I'm even receiving OTA pop ups to begin with on Eclipse..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kalani91:
I keep going back to this rom. Haven't used anything that tops it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Is it entering safestrap recovery or the stock recovery? Either way the install will probably fail.

You could try entering download mode by holding power, home & volume up but then at the "warning" screen hit volume down to boot into the OS. See if that will work for you. Then, if you make it into the OS, freeze the heck out of SDM 1.0 to stop OTA updates from coming through.
