Guys the normal revert back doesn't work in this case just FYI. ..this only applies in normal situations on the leak kk based roms...these Knox raid issues are specific and will lead to a brick if the restore method is used on the wiped Knox raid notes...be really clear what situation the person is in before recommending this restore...I've had over 200 people now on Knox raid alone in different stages of brick because of it that I've been trying to figure out a way to help them back

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's just a system background app that allows for mods and things in custom roms to function properly basically...updating it's not really necessary nor did it offer any benefit as i had previously stated when asked yesterday so I updated once then saw no point and don't recommend it

That live wallpaper it's pretty cool.. Wonder how much more battery it will kill. It's like parallax effect on iPhone wallpaper.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's awesome. ..i actually own the parrallax live background that has that gyro motion sensor and gives that depth affect...except you get to pick your background and it applies the 3d affect to it. Def like this one's theme and smooth motion. ..the tough part is some of these apps have a laggy effect on the ui after a little while...have you had any issues so far?

No I have no clue dude. ..i did the same routine as i have a 1000 times...but when I booted up i realized my storage was 26gb. ..all my slots wiped, my internal storage..everything...luckily I had my 1000 photos and 9277 songs on my sd or I'd have been irate lol...And all my twrp backups are saved so it wasn't a big deal since I had it fully set back up identical in 10 Minutes and downloaded all apps and games in no time...but very weird to say the least

How can all this happen on its on? And why would you ever have ANYTHING on the internal? I have never put any single file on the internal. Always empty.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
That's weird. Never happened to me. The only thing that corrupt is my external SD and already happened like twice. Glad you got everything backed up. Remind me to back up my data even more frequently.

On the other note, what you guys think about new Google camera? It's only for KK but photosphere looks amazing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] uplift777:
What do you use to back up apps?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The ones I had that were lost were from androzip. ..but I just re-download my apps from the play store

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude Google make the worst, I mean absolutely terrible camera software...I built the 4.4 camera into my galaxy mega rom and it takes hideous photos...Google sort of known for it...Samsungs camera algorithm is 10 times better Imo. ..and we have photo sphere already in note 3 lol

Mega

Here's a perfect test...take the same photo,same object, in some location between note 3 camera software and Google on note 3 and see the night and day difference lol

Lol yea I know..i took the newest 4.4 camera apk and guilt it into my Mega rom...only for surround shot. ..all of Google's camera software is garbage because it's generic and never optimized...it will never be as good as calibrated software for a specific device written specifically for a certain sensor

The "new" app is simply a new ui slapped on the nexus 5 garbage software...unfortunately

Two reasons why I always ran away from android stock/aosp/KK (I mean the system is kind of neat and stable) the camera and not being able to view my phone on my TV through HDMI. They have the worst camera in the phone market. LOL

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Agreed...my issue besides terrible cameras...is i don't like being a beta tester for google since they use the nexus owners like guinea pigs...every "update" is about 80% complete and full of bugs...Google broke the nexus 4 and both nexus 7 tabs with their hideous buggy updates...that and I hate the stock theme

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I see. I was just wondering since a lot of blogs are talking good things about the app. I like Samsung camera app except the darn slow processing time for stable shot. But JB camera app is way faster than KK camera. That's for sure. I really hated it in KK
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea and all they've done is replace the ui from me a b testing it next to the 4.4 camera or 4.3 camera which were largely unchanged as well...but if you a b test say the jb camera vs note 3 stock app you'll never open Google's again lol...that's what I did an posted the results on my mega threads and soundly shut down the argument lol...i put up the old apk for 4.3 or 4.4 I have both idk which that is but they're about the same...the newest one only works on kk but i can't tell any improvements other than the ui style but that doesn't help the photos lol

Mega

100% note 3 is Hella slow...that's why I shut off the stabilization...i realized how much better and more accurate my photos seemed to be without it...and so fast...occasionally you shake and blur one but I feel it's clearer with the stability settings off

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
So from what I can tell from what little information is there...and looking into the files...to me this appears extremely similar to the diagnostic toolkit that Samsung use in the kiosks at best buy and their service centers ...which allow for a complete wipe and flash of "deeper" parts of the system than typical Odin or kies can reach or alter. ..think of these diagnostic tools like ultrauser level where the aboot (bootloader), tz, bin, etc partitions, hardware intigration and controllers and files are accessible and rewritable. ..this file pack looks like a decompile version of that toolkit...now the hard part is...even with the base tools or files you have to have a means of implementing these commands thru something like adb, Odin ect...then you have to have all of the proper files and partition pit files to properly write each partition segment and flash the proper files in place...if wiping back to the Qualcomm level as these files claim...your literally gonna have to have every level of file system, scripts, and partitions set in a compiled file that can somehow be flashed that literally re writes not only the rom, recovery, bootloader, kernel, baseband, but all other deeper level hardware Integration files...a monster task that I hope someone can pull off...but as difficult as this all sounds...combine Knox, kernel fuse, and locked bootloader and your talking a long shot imo...but fingers crossed...maybe someone like design gears who is a programmer can do something with it but imo it's like putting together a decompile windows os piece by piece thru a tablet connected over wifi lol...just seems like a bit of a long shot to me that someone could put all these format rewrite base system files, a base or custom rom and kernel, new boot ect all in a single usable tool

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Samsung sure likes those color popping wallpaper. heh

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

That's absolutely fantastic news. Hope Hash and DesignGear comes up with some work and find a way to modify so we have bootloaders. That will be so much easier flashing roms, kernel etc without messing with SS. I do like slot option though haha.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I mean it's good and bad...good if and it's big if imo someone can pull it off...but Yea I'd love to get just regular recovery and a means of getting back to 4.3 for those who are on kk...other than that it doesn't really matter to me as I'm not going kit kat until I'm positive it's worth it and better than jb...so while hopeful I won't be bummed if it falls thru...I like the option of slots...just hate the guessing game of what's gonna happen on each flash...will it wipe your SD lol will it boot...will a mod flashed to rom slot 1 show up in your stock slot lol

Mega

Basically I just don't want people who may not understand what the files are they're looking at to think that everything's good to go for kk and coming back...as you can see from the posts people are hopeful and excited but it's still a little ways off if it can be done at all
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I hear ya. Wish for the best. Not that what we already have is good but hey I like openess haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gearshift:
Thanks for the translation. I kinda figured this was only step one of a sequence of 100 steps, but hey a break through is a break through. maybe it'll motivate me to actually learn some of this stuff. Though, this is how i first understood it, but correct me if i'm interpretting incorrectly: With what that guy did, making it posible to modify the different partition files/img's, couldnt you just flash all the parts through normal recovery? Like, modify what you want with the signatures from samsung so it tricks the phone into thinking its actually an "update"?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No unfortunately. ...first we don't even have a recovery...we're still on stock recovery ...safestrap is a sort of faux recovery for lack of a better term...without him divulging his method which, was one thing that kinda made me wonder...what he's talking about is literally "sub level" say outside of the bootloader or rom itself even....he's saying that these files are the Qualcomm base hardware boot files...think of it like the motherboard firmware...which still needs all other integral hardware interconnectivity controllers, a modified boot, tz, bin ect, and then an entire system/rom/kernel...literally rebuilding the note from the hardware up..(sorry for all the pc analogies I figure it's easier to explain so everyone could relate)...."in theory we could make this a different device"...that's why I'm saying that putting a package together from these files, in my opinion, would be almost impossible unless someone just rips samsung real diagnostic tool...i don't see how it could be done.

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Well seems like they need Samsung private key to make that file works. So there goes all the hopes and dreams as Mega predicted
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Damn that's a bummer man...did they find some more info about the situation? Just as a rule of thumb. ..imo over complicating a solution to an already complicated problem is a recipe for disaster

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
Mega, please forgive me if this question is dumb or if you have already explained it. But what are those files? He was talking developer level. All I saw was a link that took me to a bunch of files.

Another thing, from your earlier posts, I understand that they're trying to delete everything in the phone to the very bottom of it including the locked bootloader itself and putting in a new bootloader that they make? It's like stripping everything off of a Ford car and leaving only the body and throwing Nissan car components in that body? Am I correct?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No its the motherboard analogy...they're essentially trying to rebuild the note from the hardware up...i laid out the analogy a few posts back...basically it's not important for anyone right now that's not on stock kit kat...because flashing kernels is about the only other thing real recovery would give vs what we have now...so that's why I said I won't be upset if it doesn't come thru but sucks for those stuck on kk

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
Yeah I read all of your posts. Man, didn't it take a lot of samsung company developers/members (which I think is a LOT of people) to build what we have right now? That won't be easy to undo then redo again by a couple of guys, will it? I mean I'm no developer nor do I know much about things like that. I do hope that they get through, though. Hell I'll even donate to them. LOL
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude its not even just that...it's the Qualcomm drivers basically...the most base level hardware controllers. ..literally every other file and folder from the hardware up would need to be repackaged...even if it was somehow possible ..i would never do it put it that way

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
Hey man, you never know. They got games, bro. They may be able to do it. Let's hope so. Whatever it is, if it works, I'll take it. I support them 100% ::fist bump:: [emoji109]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Uh no offense but I don't think you realize lol...there's certain things you've never heard of for a reason bro...imo this is one...it's not like locked bootloaders are new..I've never heard of anyone ever attempting this...samsung themselves don't even do this when they full wipe a refurb so have at it lol not me...this is beyond desperation...and only if you on stock kk...it's pointless otherwise anyway so I don't know why anyone's all that interested outside of those people

Mega

It's a not a matter of support or anything. ..it's a matter of unrealistic and unnecessary unless your on kk...i really hope they get something figured out but it's not something anyone running my rom should really care about
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
Haha ok. You win. I'm switching to t-mobile after I pay off my note 3. I was talking to my buddy who is with t-mobile and he actually likes it. So, imma move on from this dumb company that doesn't know how to keep its customers. LOL

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gearshift:
I was trying to be optimistic about the find. but meh. I'll still wait around till may for a solution, otherwise I'll probably just have to jump ship. Will be too much effort to find an un-updated note 3, probably move to S5 or nexus 5
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Please don't take this as pessimistic as I'm as hopeful for this to work for you guys as anyone....I'm just trying to be realistic and explain everything best I can...honestly I'm Goin the tmo note route...the s5 is amazing but too small for me after years of having a note...i shoulda done it for note 3 but wasn't thinking we'd be this extreme in the lockout tbh...2 1024 but encryption points is ridiculous...love my cheap grandfathered plan but never again will i carry an att phone man hell no

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gearshift:
Oh no worries. I'm also a realist. haha. Plus if you go into things with no expectations, you cant be disappointed. ha.

yeah, I'm stuck with at&t with my grandfathered plan too. I'd jump to t-mobile but i hear terrible things about their coverage. I wonder though, would it be worth it to trade out for a t-mobile note 3 and then just modify it to pull at&t's network?
