[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Becauuuse, for 1,000,000th time: Not everyone uses the gimmicky Touchwhiz pen features. Scrapbook? What's that? SPen search... huh? I pull my pen out MAYBE once every two weeks to sketch something, and I can still do that in CM11 without "SNote", by using Sketchbook, Papyrus, and many other apps, with pressure sensitivity too. You can even get a "touchwhiz-like" popup and pen-removed-notification/vibration when you pull the pen out if you use the Note Buddy & CM SPen apps.

And what's boring about AOSP / CyanogenMod?

- The increased speed and reduced bloat?

- Security holes plugged WAY before carrier updates?

- Configurable Quicktiles?

- Built-in Wireless ADB, LED Flashlight, and other misc features

- Free WiFi Tethering?

- More reliable WiFi connections (TW always says "Your WiFi is Unstable")

- Quiet Hours

- THEMABILTY

- And all the other stuff I'm forgetting because I take it for granted now...

The only thing I miss about TW is the better reliability (CM crashes about once a day - to be expected this early), and the slightly better camera quality (CM AOSP camera pics have a bit more ISO noise in low light. Samsung probably uses s/w to remove it and/or longer shutter speeds)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ggabriele3:
I think what you're missing is that you would not necessarily lose all the pen features. It seems like there are apps that will restore at least some of the pen features, which might end up being all I want.

I'm still in the honeymoon phase of using the phone, though, so I don't know yet how much the touchwiz features will end up mattering to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shogun_45:
I had flashed the Gummy 4.4.2 ROM on my Note 3 but some of the bugs..umm..bugged me too much. So I flashed CM 11 by Temasek and I love it. It runs fantastic for me and I have no complaints.

I also don't care about the SPen. I took it out and used it for about 5 minutes when I first got the phone and haven't touched it since. I got the Note 3 when I switched to T-Mobile for the screen size mostly.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
I think you're missing the point, nvm don't worry about it. It's not worth going back and forth.

As far as CM/AOSP... The Note 3 is lag free, bloat free once rooted, I'm Deodexed so i can theme if i choose, i have free wifi tethering native now, my wifi connection is never unstable (though i have a new modem and router at home). You lose wifi calling if you need it. Quiet hours is basically the same as blocking mode. Security patches i will give you, though I'm sure they don't patch all of them.

Man I'm loving the Jedi rom! Quick question though. I installed the 5x6 launcher and I think I'd prefer the 5x5. Is there any way to install the 5x5 without starting from the beginning flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _INSPIREed:
Did flashing the 5x5 zip in recovery not do it for you?

If you only use the s-pen for writing purposes then that can easily be replaced by apps. The only thing I find I miss on cm is multiwindow. sure theres xhalo floating window module that is multiwindow but its not as feature rich as the samsung one. The samsung multiwindow (with certain mods) can put up to 4 apps in multiwindow at once, or 3 or whichever you choose. All resizeable which I do frequently. that coupled with the "all app" mod, its very useful. see my screenshot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] indstrlmtlhd:
I use Darthstalker, from the installer you can choice what Samsung, Google & TMO apps you want, with a few exceptions which I then use TI to uninstall.

Only thing from Samsung I keep is their keyboard, and only thing from TMO I keep is Visual Voicemail & Wifi Calling. I then use Nova Launcher with a custom icon pack & custom widgets. It runs sp much better than CM 10 nor CM 10.1 did on my old phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] muqali:
TW ROMs are pretty good. Stock is like 20% good Samsung features and 80% Samsung crap bloat. Once you strip the bloat, it's hard to beat it. I'd prefer AOSP based on philosophical reasons, but when I have to actually use the phone, I tend to TW things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] knite75:
I don't understand what's all this CM11/AOSP craziness is all about.

Out of curiosity, I installed the officially nightly CM11, and used it for a few days.

My only reaction was WTF(?).

It's like taking a luxurious Mercedes S500, and stripped it down for the drag strips.

No S-Pen functionality. Camera sucks balls. No Wifi Calling. No Smart Stay or anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nighthawk626:
Aosp is not for everyone just like touchwiz isn't for everyone. What it all cones down to is the freedom of it. Regardless of whatever features touchwiz or aosp comes with, nobody will put a gun to your head to use one or the other. Its a preference thing. Just like choosing between apples and android. There can be centuries of argument or discussions about it but at the end of the day, you like what you like. Me personally I've grown to love touchwiz modified on the note 3 but my daily driver is forever aosp. Personal preference
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jahnbodah:
On note 2 I always stuck with touchwiz (tweaked ROM) because I always felt like I was missing features on aosp/cm based ROMs. Temasek ROM has finally got me to switch to a cm based ROM... And stay there.

With just a few apps, you can (mostly) add back spen functionality. When I pull my pen out it makes a noise and turns the screen on, if the screen is already on it will pop up a window so I can choose a notepad app (papyrus) or to take/edit a screenshot. The other thing I missed that cm based ROMs didn't have were notifications on the lockscreen. Temaseks ROM has lockscreen notifications, and I actually like those better than the tw ones. Also halo is really cool.

The biggest reason I stuck with touchwiz though was battery life. Again, temasek has solved that. I am getting good battery life, and some people are posting screenshots of over 24 hours off charger and 11 hours on screen time... I haven't got that yet, but my battery life is pretty good.

Just remember, you don't have to agree with other people and join a camp... Just use what you like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
Same setup as me, and i agree about stability. I loved cm on my older phones with less memory but with 3gb ram, even if it was stock unbloated this phone flys!! Best phone i have ever used in my life and im sure ill say it again once i buy the note 4 as well!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ggabriele3:
You're right that the stock camera app is garbage, but its worth noting that Google heard those complaints with the Nexus 5 and promised to improve.

With the car analogy, understand that some people see it more like a Porsche GT3. Sure the stock 911 Turbo has plenty of speed, but some people are happy to trade features for even more speed.

Flashing nightlies is like taking a ride in the prototype, where the engine hasnt been tuned and they still have the stock suspension because the new one didn't come in the mail, so you're getting oversteer and it's stalling all the time.

As a heads up, this requires root and Xposed/Cydia Substrate. ART users run away!

So I had recently acquired a Hulu Plus account and, as we all know, it is littered with ads! What to do?!?!?! The first thing I tried was AdAway, but that didn't work :/ Apparently the app brings up this error screen when AdAway blocks the ad. So then I installed Root Cloak and applied it to Hulu. Presto! AdAway is able to block the app without detection! Huzzah!

That would be like using ad block plus and hulu on a rooted device. Hulu doesn't care about root. It needs the ads or it won't work.

Wanted to share my setup. The Oppo is a beast of a phone. The stock dpi looked blown up and too big to me. I use the N1 for everything and sold my tablet so this setup is much nicer to me.

Set the DPI to 320 using Textdroider :http://goo.gl/m2PHZr

Enable softkeys with using Softkey enabler: http://goo.gl/1l3Gyl

I used the following Xposed modules:

Xposed installer: http://goo.gl/JEu7Sr - main installer.

App settings: http://goo.gl/ifxLq3 - Find systemui in the list and change screen (dpi) to 600x1024 and any other app you would like in phablet mode (camera, keyboard, hangouts, gmail)

Phab7: http://goo.gl/6Mq5ri - Check Phablet (this fixes some landscape wackyness with the softkeys

Play store fix: http://goo.gl/xx9CNG ensures there wont be play store issues with the DPI

After all this reboot.

I also disable all the hardware buttons form the settings built into Omni.

Hey! I have a haida running a custom. The problem with my device/SD Card is it shows multiple copies of every folder on the SD Card. (like 3 or something) but inside the folder there is nothing. Its an empty folder except the one folder that did have my files. Same with my Music...I've got 3 files of every song on the SD. and deleting one copy gives "Cannot Play this File" message. It wont let me copy files on the SD. It just shows the copying bar. that's it. no progress. Would really like some help! thanks!

Just to clarify, in that last edit you're just saying that turning dt2s off in the settings makes the kernel's version of dt2s work right? Cause that's what I'm seeing on my phone. Thanks for the heads up, I enabled the dt2s setting a while ago but I always forget that I did so I hadn't tested it yet.

[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Dt2s is working for me. S2w isn't functional yet. Is dt2w working for you?

If you have dt2s enabled in your ROM settings, make sure you disable it as out counteracts the kernel's dt2s.

I don't think I have it enabled in probam. Dt2w doesn't work

Did you follow the instructions in the op to enable it? It should be enabled by default I think but if not I put instructions there
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
Oops I meant double tap to sleep I'm sorry
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
That's weird then. You have to double tap the status bar in case you didn't already know that. If that's still not working, then enabling the ROMs version of it in settings should do the trick.

Ohhhhhh, yeah I was double tapping above the menu keys. Status bar works flawlessly. Thanks! Idk if its in the op or if I just blanked out

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abarax:
Here it is in a nutshell: Error 927 on ANY download, any app, any game, be it paid or free, on my Nexus 7 (2013) FHD. I've done the following:

- Cleared the data and cache for the Google Play Store, Download Manager, and Google Services Framework.

- Uninstalled updates for the Google Play Store and Google Services Framework.

- Deleted and re-added my Google account.

- Rebooted.

- Hard reset.

- Downgraded to 4.3 and re-upgraded to 4.4.2.

- Tried to download the apps and games from the Google Play website, and get "An unexpected error has occured. Please try again later."

- Changed the filter and proxy settings on my Cisco router.

- Switched to LTE, and... same thing.

- Created another Google account, and it worked, but I will NOT be forced to re-purchase the apps I've spent nearly $80.00 on over the years, or upload my music collection to Google Music again.

- Reached out to Google for help, and... crickets.

I'm at the end of my rope. If this isn't resolved soon, I'm returning the Nexus to Wal-Mart. I've NEVER had this sort of issue before, even with my first-generation Nexus 7. I've had Android tablets since my Motorola Xoom awhile back. I've ALWAYS had Android tablets. I'd hate to have to abandon Android because of this idiocy, but I may have to do so. I don't want to have to go with Apple for both my smartphone and tablet, but it's starting to look that way.

If anyone has any suggestions that aren't listed above, please, help me out. I love my Nexus 7, but without apps and games, it's pretty worthless.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pandae:
Normally deleting and adding back the Google account is a solution for Play Store problems, but as you said, you tried that. Some have reported that error 927 is because of a network connection error. How is web browsing? YouTube?

How did you do that? Did you download the 4.3 ROM to flash it? Did you unlock and flash a custom recovery?

When all else fails, flash the stock ROM, especially with your downgrading and upgrading. Google's files include a "flash-all.bat" within that will wipe everything and flash the stock ROM and recovery.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abarax:
I actually have flashed the stock ROMs, from the original 4.3 to 4.4.2, with the exact same results. I've also made certain not to unlock the bootloader and to not root as to recreate the OOB experience as well. At this point, my options are exhausted.

I have the same problem. Ran across this thread doing a search for the error 927. Running a Verizon HTC One and an LG G Pad 8.3. Both have the same problems, and i too have called Google several times. Their answer was to call HTC. I was livid. I changed my password, but was only a temporary fix until I made a purchase from the Play store. Then the error came back. I realize i am in the Nexus 7 forums but wanted to chime in since the problem is happening to me too. Hopefully Google comes up with a fix. Too much money tied up to just create new account, which does work by the way.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dawiseguy77:
Creating a new account shouldn't even be an option what it the issue happens on the new account? Google just needs to fix it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] planedoc:

Same boat. I did everything the original poster did as well. Called into play store support and eventually got passed off to tier 2 support. Haven't heard anything in over a week. :(

The issue affects every device I log into with my account. Originally showed rpc:s-7 error, now 927.

Anyone with this problem find a solution? Again, I've done everything the op posted. In the past I've been able to correct the problem. But this time, no go.

Have you tried installing apps from Google Play on a computer?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] quantic.chaos:
Hello, just an update...

My problem has gone... Seems it was from google side.

Too bad I had to flash my cel 3 times before I realized it was happening to all my devices.

Don't know if the password change had anything to do with the fix since, at least, it didn't work immediately.

If you encounter the same problem don't panic... give it a little time, hopefully it fixes on its own.

After researching about safestrap, I was wondering if flashing an SS ROM to my main partition would bork my phone, or simply flag my phone's warranty notification (I could care less about my warranty flag) I want to install a ROM and be able to utilize as much of the storage as possible in the partition and don't mind using ODIN to flash back to stock if that is all it takes to fix it, (I've used ODIN many times in the past w/my other Sammy devices).

Is this a possibility or is the S4 different in such a way that they are bricking left and right because of this kind of thought process?

So what started off as a 500$ unlocked (16gb) to 400$ and now to 300$ all in 5 months. [August Release Date]

What sort of resell value are we looking at before the Moto X2 comes out around august?? Im only curious because I would like to purchase this moto x unlocked phone now for 300 and sell around July/August.

At this rate, its looking like ~100$-125$? What do you guys think?
[Moto X General] eksasol:
You should not consider a smartphone as an investment. It depend on how much more discount Google will give it. If the price stay the same, I would say if you keep it mint, my guess is $240.

You couldn't even buy a mint (international) Galaxy S2 for $125 and its 3 years old.

I am just looking to buy one motox new (take care of it) then sell it and have it hopefully cost me 20-30$ a month on average.

Im happy everyones so optimistic that till still be near the 200$ range considering its only $300-330 now. Whats the best way to sell? Craigslist, ebay or Swappa? Thanks guys! :)
[Moto X General] eksasol:
Craiglist only if you carry a Remington 12 gauge for protection, otherwise Swappa is hassle free. You might be able to get a few dollars more from eBay, but they have lots of fees so in the end it's not worth it.

I think you should look to buy a phone as a keeper than just temp use. People have said Moto X feel faster than their Note 3 due to better software optimization. Seems like a waste if you're buying it just to use LTE temporarily.

It actually started out at $600 for those who just can't wait when a new phone is released. :/ I've sold phones on eBay and Craigslist. As mentioned, you might get a little more from eBay but Craigslist is usually faster. Regarding the shotgun comment, always be sure to meet in a public place and don't give your description until you arrive. Most people are decent and just looking for the item you're selling.
