Guys with some new information developing involving the kit Kat update that is flashed and odined I have recently learned that kexec is possible which means aosp. Hells yes lol

So this sxtp leak is something unique I encourage my fellow Eclipse users to most definitely utilize this. So if Nitro does an aosp or you want to use another aosp build in the future you can.

Hope I'm not misinformed at all as I am still learning alot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] loganh.kenton:
Anyone else having issues with wireless charging? Just started re-exploring it, and I can't get it to work. Still running tests.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
Harley really???

That's insane, what is kexec???

How awesome would it be to have a True AOSP Eclipse ROM. Man I am excited over this...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Nitro can probably explain it better but Kexec is the ability to load a second kernel at boot time.

Which means a custom kernel is possible.

So hells yea it's super exciting. I'm sure there are a lot of stuff the devs would have to work around but it's good news

GUYS DO NOT TAKE THE OTA. IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE USE THE SXTP LEAK METHOD THAT WAS ROOTED AND YOU FLASH IN SAFESTRAP AND ODIN THE FIRMWARE.

Psa: DO NOT TAKE OTAs after updating to kitkat leak (nc2)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
Ok...color me stupid but I have a question...

We are all testing the kitkat leak then reflashing eclipse-correct?

I think I personally will wait until Nitro decides if he will advance eclipse to 4.4, wait for a stable everything on 4.4 etc.

Those who had 4.4 on the S4 before getting this phone, like myself, I'd think are already familiar with how KK functions. Sure I'm seriously excited to see the N3 with a pure AOSP nitro built rom...that's like free black and tan's at the sports bar.

I guess I'll wait until there is more.. meaning that I'll stay right on eclipse until we have something solid from Nitro to flash. :)

My views represent absolutely no one other than me, so if I am missing something, which I have been known to do, please fill me in...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yeah that's totally your decision. I know Nitro is busy this week but more than likely the next build will be 4.4.2

I was saying to not do the update by Ota because the method available right now may allow for Kexec. But yeah bro there's no reason for you to jump on it now if you wanna wait.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
I saw the Kexec and that is seriously good to see. Hopefully that is completely usable and we can have a Eclipse-pure AOSP rom on this beast.

I just wanted to make sure I didn't get lost in translation somewhere, as I have been known to do just that.

I know Nitro is busy and dealing with recovery. Please don't mistake my unwillingness to test KK with being impatient with eclipse as that is absolutely not the case.

Just satisfying my curiosity is all. :)

Thanks for the reply.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I just figured I'd go ahead and do it. I'm almost positive Nitro has loaded it up as well. I'm sure we will hear from him soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
So are you running the KK rom or are you running eclipse? And odex or deodex?

I guess I'm still confused...:(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I'm running the kitkat odex build. Hashcode and others have said we can odin back to mje if we wanted to. Right now safe strap is only being used on the stock side. Hashcode is working on another update for it.

So I'm just gonna wait for Nitro to release his kitkat build. By then safe strap should be all updated.

I guess I should not blow up Nitros thread but I just wanted to let everyone know about the unique build and all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
Nice.

I'm gonna give it a spin and see...

Thanks again bro
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I used ss 3.65 to flash the update then odin the firmware and when your all done install the new ss 3.72
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
Frankly, I'm torn. Eclipse is awesome and the differences between 4.3 & 4.4 is not necessarily worth being stock on stock til new roms come out. There's some apps you can use on kk that you can't on jb (like Google camera), but it's not like there's a huge performance improvement (please correct me if I'm wrong).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
No your right there's not much compared to Eclipse.

No reason to jump to 4.4.2 if you have the patients to wait for Nitro to update Eclipse.

I was off work and will be going into a busy week so I figured I'd just get it out of the way.

Man everything's so bright lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] armeN0317:
just curious... is there any xposed module or anything of that sort what would invert or darken some of the bright areas/apps?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Possibly but I'm not going to risk using xposed at the moment. I'm just going to wait for Hashcode to get SS running on all cylinders then I will possibly start playing around.

But mostly I'm just gonna chill and wait on Nitro for the inverted stuff.

[MENTION=3247702]nitroglycerine33[/MENTION] me and kvirus are locked and loaded on 4.4.2 awaiting your brilliant work.

Tell the wife you have to take a android break?

I know it's running through your head at this moment hahaha.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
Here is what I have for the curious...

I will sit on 4.4.2 specifically to gauge battery life, usage data and overall performance. It is slightly snappier, but I mean I had to do some really slow transitions to barely get a difference. If the battery life is on par, then it's safe to say that Nitro's work is significantly better than even I initially thought...because minus the 4.4.2 waving at you, the inverted apps and with a all black or no wallpaper...it's eclipse. I do miss the customization from eclipse and the aosp dialer for sure. As far as xposed, I will not kick the tires on that until, like Harley said, SS is optimized and as bug-free as can be hoped for. I remember all the ones who ran to xposed on the S4 and all those bricks...it was bionic epic.

I pretty much loathe TW so asking or expecting me to be totally fair is quite laughable.

I will say this...

IF somehow Nitro can build eclipse fully AOSP, it will blow the doors off of anything else available...

That's my take so far.

Hope you and the fam are doing well Nitro.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
[MENTION=4636224]kvirus11[/MENTION] you put it down perfect bro.

A full AOSP build would be awesome on this beast.

Hopefully that can happen but we will just have to see what the devs put together. We know Nitro is all about it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
In case you guys are wondering I have started working on KitKat. I am in the process of unpacking since I moved to a new house yesterday. So it might be a few days until I get settled down and get some test builds out in the wild. I will put up some progress builds as I move along the way as I know people enjoy watching it develop and can "crack" flash lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Sweet hopefully someone throws down some kk love to us DE users :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] comptonhubbard:
Color me stupid here but is there anyway to use this on a Sprint Note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
HEY!!

I, personally, am happy you are getting settled. I know my one big move took me a few (mostly going from gun shots in Detroit to the country up north) to get acclimated and will patiently wait for some solid stuff.

Man I'm so glad I was never a "crack" flasher lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] VeNuMuS:
You can try it. But its almost guaranteed not to work. And also it is 4.3. Go for it if you'd like but don't come back and say your device doesn't work. Cross carrier rom flashing is not advised unless it is a GSM device which tend to be generally identical.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
Wonderful News!

Harley you are awesome. :good:

Thanks for keeping all of us in the loop. I am frankly going to stay on Eclipse for the time being. I am glad you let EVERYONE know about OTA's. Some people here on the thread might be new & NOT understand that OTA's are the root communities WORST ENEMY.

Us with the heavy root backgrounds know this as a cardinal rule. I read Nitro is already up & going on a KitKat version of Eclipse for our Note 3. This Kexec breakthrough is wonderful. Can you imagine ACTUALLY running a TRUE Eclipse AOSP ROM... My mind is blown... :silly:

This is just wonderful news, that there is a possibility of running REAL AOSP ROM's on our retail Verizon Galaxy Note 3. :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yeah we will have to wait and see as far as having the ability to run another kernel at boot. It's been pretty quiet about it which might not be good.

But I hope man. Aosp Eclipse would be awesome.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
I hear ya...

Sometimes quiet equals progress also. Lets just keep our fingers crossed & hope for the best. :fingers-crossed: I am just happy that the possibility is there to maybe be exploited.

I mean that's all we can really ask for right? lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
As ridiculously fantastic as it would be to get a pure AOSP Eclipse....after preliminary testing and subsequent abusing of the deodex rom, if this is what Nitro can use as a base/mold it'll still be amazing pure AOSP or not.

I am abusing this battery like rented lawn equipment and it is rock solid so far. I will not post pics of a non-eclipse rom as this is Nitro's threat and I have far too much respect for him, but I will say 19H on battery and with 8H screen on some game playing and live hockey watching last night I am at 38%

Which ever path Nitro decides is best for his work, I will be running regardless.

Pretty stunning so far...my keyboard likes to tweek every so often but that's the extent of my error experiences, and I have not experienced the 3G issues they all seem to be talking about..(might be I didn't race to get xposed either..:) )

I dunno what your thoughts are Harley, but I'd be shocked if you had a less positive experience so far.

As for my thoughts, if Nitro can take this and really run with it, we are in for one serious treat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Here's some info on kexec. Looks to be a long process.

Man I can't wait for this build. Having to use Xposed for all the stuff Nitro spoiled us with has me wishing I'd just stayed on 4.3 lmao.

Okay so here we go brutha Scotty.

Remove custom status, all the headset crap. Volume warning and all headphone suggestions crap.

I know you got the data icon gone while WiFi is on. That's huge. Annoying as hell.

God I can't wait to just get stuff blacked out again.

I know it's my fault.

Nitros gonna hit this kitkat build out of the park.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
Oh I agree I do miss all the things Nitro gave us, but and this is a big but..

I refuse to use xposed. Regardless of all the awesome mods and tweeks, 90% of all the complaints about bugs and errors on almost any Rom are from xposed users.

Smells like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain't a mongoose.

I will keep on abusing and freeze experimenting this 4.4 until Nitro has one ready to play with, which I am positive will be nothing short of oh hell yeah status. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yeah I'm just using it for the few things I mentioned. I don't get all crazy with it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
Excellent, thanks for the quality read... :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
Xposed works perfectly fine on this rom. I'm on 4.4 now, but I ran exposed with gravity box from the first day of bought this phone on Eclipse, with no issues whatsoever.

Of course, run gb on a TouchWiz themed rom like stock and you're in a world of hurt.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
I was speaking generally, not rom or user specific in my regard to xposed.

It was flawless for you. Great. All I said was thru my experience in other forums over other sites over other initial roms for this and any phone, the vast majority of issue/bug reports came from xposed users. Which is why I refuse to use it. No where did I say it doesn't work.

I also am on 4.4.

I take it you didn't fully comprehend my initial post then.

No worries. Hope this clarifies for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
Yea after I posted and read back a bit, it occurred to me you were talking about the leaked 4.4. I'm on it as well and running xposed with wanam... No issues.

Tbh, I've used xposed on 10 different roms in my old s3 and Spectrum and never had an issue, other than with heavily themed roms like Pacman. But, if people read the installer, they'll see the warning again using on those roms.

I'm excited to see what Eclipse looks like on 4.4...i was hesitant to leave it for the leaked rom, but Nitro will have something for us in dentist, so I can deal with this horrible TouchWiz for now. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
Hahaha. Yeah I loathe TW for sure but keeping the phone on 4.4 made sense until Nitro has some candy made.

I won't lie and say I don't miss Eclipse because I seriously do so believe me...I'm as patient as the next user waiting.

I just can't tear myself away from a constant 108 on 4G and I haven't gotten a signal like that since my GNex ironically on Eclipse.

Glad we got the posts ironed out too. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
Man I don't know how you guys do it... I CAN'T STAND TW. I can't leave Eclipse for TW even if it's 4.4.2. To me that has always been the worst skin on Android. I can deal with HTC's, Sony's, & LG's skins, but Samsung's TW has always been such an eye sore to me. I don't know why but it just bothers me. :mad:

I love Samsung devices, but I ALWAYS root them & stick an AOSP ROM always. I was about to sell my Note 3 & get a DEV Edition Note 3 but once Eclipse came out I have been VERY, VERY happy. :p

I am just going to live vicariously through you BRAVE souls who must endure the TW tourture, because literally guys I just can't. :highfive:

Nitro will drop an EPIC Eclipse 4.4.2 ROM for us & all will be whole again. lol :cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
I do little things...

All black wallpaper, I also freeze so much that it doesn't really "feel" like TW. And believe me, I do everything I can w/o using Xposed to make it simulate AOSP but I loathe it as well. I agree it is the worst of all the skins by far even old motoblur. Blah.

I am only staying on the 4.4.2 for bug and issue purposes. So many are complaining about either horrid DL/data or signal issues and I have not seen any, and quite frankly, the only bug I have come across is my keyboard likes to blink sometimes when in landscape if I try to text while on a call.

Oh I am patiently waiting for that post from Nitro letting us know it's coming shortly, and because his stuff is always so rock solid, I have zero issue waiting. I'd much rather keep bug analyzing this now and get a quality, no bs/not hurried for the masses ROM versus all the ones popping up already.

And if the verdict is he isn't going to have one for several months...then I will go back to Eclipse and 4.3 and continue to patiently wait. We all do good by him as busy as he is. It's the least I can do. :good:

Quality is all that truly matters. That is why we root and flash to begin with, and his stuff is quality going back to my GNex . :highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kalani91:
I'm staying on eclipse too and not risking going to kit kat and the half effort roms out there for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yep Nitro takes the meaning of development to a whole new level.

Your gonna have to get on the nc2 build pretty soon though??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kalani91:
what is NC2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
That's the 4.4.2 build. I'm assuming you are aware of the leak.

Nitro said this coming up kitkat build is gonna be sick. Slimmed up with more AOSP than ever.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
But of course it will be. :highfive:

Can't wait!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lazarus0000:
I told my wife I wouldn't root/ROM the N3 for a little while @ least. I actually like some (SOME) of the functions of TW and thought I could make it a few weeks at least before I rooted / ROMd.

Turned this thing on saw those butt ugly greens, yellows & oranges and withstood all of 45 mins.

I couldn't even make it an hour before I got rid of that nastiness. Sure, TW is functional, but the look is ghastly. I love my Asian brothers and all, but I think South Koreans have some oddball tastes in color preferences...

Eclipse for the win!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
I eagerly await... The aosp theme is so "fetch" and we can actually use gravity box with his rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I totally agree. TW is not very good looking at all.

I'm glad I don't have a S5 nor will I use a rom that has this nasty look.

Man that is just awful.

But everyone has there own style.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lazarus0000:
But here's my question - been bugging me since I first heard of it... I hear that 4.4 has (basically ) no support for external SD. That, and the replaceable battery, is my primary reason for Samsung.

So what's going to be the fix for that? I'm afraid I'll be stuck on 4.3 because there's no way I'm giving up SD support. I work in a cellular black hole. The only thing "the cloud" means where I work is a fluffy thing in the sky.... So, without SD support, this "smart phone" becomes instantly dumb.

Anyone know what's in store for that issue? If anything? Or am I stuck with 4.3? Not that I'm complaining - this is sweet once you get rid of the TW nasty looks.

I'm on Baja's 4.4.2 ROM since I wanted to see what KK brought to the table for our N3. I was on Eclipse before this. I can answer your question... External SD card works just fine on 4.4.2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Saythis:
First builds of KitKat on our Note 3 had issues with writing to the External SD but that has since been fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Google is supposedly working on phasing the SD out, with internal memory getting cheaper and so much faster along with otg which is really good the SD is becoming obsolete. With a cheap micro SD to usb device you can literally have a wallet full of them and just plug into the OTG cable.

Here's some coffee money for working on that kitkat build.

Nitro how about a couple Eclipse Note3 Kitkat walls with the new build?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lazarus0000:
Hey guys - got a question.

I'm used to running a custom kernel on my previous phones. Is that a possibility with the Note 3 and its locked bootloader? I ask primarily because I normally overclock my CPU, but don't know how to do that without a kernel that allows for upping the max CPU cycles.

If no custom kernels, is there a way to overclock that I'm just not aware of?

"I've got a revolution behind my eyes..."

--Battle Flag
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] heXacode:
I checked it out using Trickster Mod app from Play Store to see what options we have. There seems to be some but not a whole lot like you'd see with a custom kernel. I don't know how far you'd get with overclocking the stock kernel with that app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
Nope. You can try, but the kernel reverts the overclocking. Most stock kernels have that protection.

There's a chance we might see a custom kernel (it's being worked on), but no dice for now.

I'm a little pissed this kernel peaks @ 1.4, but the 4.3 kernel would allow up to 2.2 or so. Seems like a step back to me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lazarus0000:
Hhhmmm... I used SetCPU a day or so ago and it allowed me to max out to 2.2...

Are you saying that under "normal" circumstances, the N3 peaks out @ 1.4 GHz?

"I've got a revolution behind my eyes..."

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
As far as I can tell. I keep trying to set to 2.2,but it reverts to this every time.

That's SetCPU set on performance and Antutu after setting it to max freq.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
I didn't think that would matter, since I was able to clock up to 2.2 with it on, on the 4.3 kernel. I'll give that a try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hyro864:
Is there any way to get stock Swype to work on this Rom?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
Really thinking about downgrading from Kit Kat just to get back on eclipse. When I was on Eclipse, my battery was phenomenal, I had great service everywhere I went and there were more customization options. Ugh. Decisions decisions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I know man. But as soon as you do that Nitro will drop his 4.4.2 build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
Yea, that's why I'm trying to hold out. I can deal with crappy battery life but the service is killing me. Constantly dropping no matter where I'm. I even tried ALL of the other 4.4.2 ROMs and it was all the same story. Crap battery and even worse signal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I see some people are flashing the old MJE baseband in odin. May be worth a shot.

Nitro will probably want everyone on the NC2 baseband and kernel though for use with his kitkat build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] XzxBATTxzX:
Thought of doing the same thing ? touchwiz sucks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
I'll look into it. My speed used to rival my wifi speed while at home and on the go, now its more like 56k.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] beepea206:
Yea I mentioned in the baja thread there weren't any substantive upgrades to 4.4, but was chided like I was a noob. I've been on the leak and the battery is worse and the speeds are no better. Possibly better Lte coverage, maybe... But it doesn't seem worth the upgrade effort. Eclipse was superior.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kdogg78:
I am holding out here on the 4.3 Build and will continue to hold out as I cant stand touchwiz on my phone.

Can anyone confirm Nitro has plans to release a 4.4.2 version? Just wondering if this is all hearsay, or the man himself has confirmed he is working on a version. Not asking for an ETA, just wondering if there are any plans at all for a Eclipse 4.4.2 ROM.

thanks Nitro,
