I think it's a learning process ...that you finally realize you do more harm than good trying to disable this and that....because very few times if you have a similar setup as your previous rom like v7 to v8 does a rom have drain....especially when you know what apps you used run constantly or don't ect....it's almost always user apps..at least on my roms because I have baselines for each thru tests before they post.....I know a lot of people get lost in the numbers and forget about the actual battery life...the tools are great but out of context like I always say...your simply chasing your tail

Hi Mega,

Very much enjoying v8, definitely an improvement IMHO over v7 -- less sure about versus v6x, but I'm sticking with v8 for now given how long it's taken me to customize it to my liking. Speaking of which, if you're bored waiting for safestrap for KK, etc., any possibility of doing a completely debloated version of FireNote? Yes, I know you use some of the Samsung apps and you want this to be a stock experience, I'm just saying.....I literally freeze more than 60 entries upon flashing your rom, and I'd love to start off with meanest, leanest version.

I have to say, I'm completely torn about overclocking like you do. I love the speed and snappiness, but as you've pointed out, the battery life suffers. I have trouble getting to 5 hours screen on time with SetCPU maxed out. But then if I underclock (which will get me up to 7 hours screen time), it just seems so slow (even though it's really still darn fast). Oh well, choices are good, I guess...

In any event, thanks as always for all you do for us!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MoJoe277:
There are some "debloat" scripts around you can flash. Have you tried those?

I prefer removing stuff myself, so I know exactly what's been removed. Only gotta do it once, unless you hop around a lot.

If you guys haven't seen new Google. Map, check it out. Pretty cool update.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...guidance-in-navigation-and-more-apk-download/

And also this app. Double knock turn on screen and other shortcut features like M8. Works pretty nice but still beta though.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Honestly no there's no point in doing a stripped build...as I've explained a few times before...you gain nothing by removing a bunch of stuff from the system apps...stripped builds offer no benefit no speed, battery, or storage benefits...other than the aesthetic of how many pages you have of apps and widgets.....your just risking cascade failure by ripping a bunch of stuff from...you literally have the same rom before and after you "remove" the apks...if deleting a bunch of apps that don't run in the background offered any benefit that would be the rom lol...so while you may prefer the look of removing a bunch of icons or widgets that's literally all that's changed...as for clocking to max speed vs not...just use on demand vs performance keep the speed without sacrificing battery life...so no there wouldn't be a stripped build because itd only be limiting apps 110,850 other people may use without gaining them anything in return...trust me if there were any ways you could make my roms better I'd do it, or have the instructions posted

I disable only about 10 apks on boot and they've been listed in op for months

Mega, I have question. How hard is it to port roms?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's really pretty easy tbh...I've never liked them personally because I've found alot of the time If not done properly you can run into serious problems hard brick included...I've built a few strictly for personal use for friends over the years...it's much easier than building a rom....we can get further into in pm if your interested in it...personally I dont like them and never use them but can explain how you could do it if you want

Just an FYI for anyone wanting to use the galaxy launcher...I've been messing with it and found I really like parts of it...to optimize it (or any other 3rd party launcher)

Set it up how you like it

Go into advanced settings and choose keep launcher in memory

For smoother/faster transition animation: under home screen settings remove shadows from ui

In Nova: change transition speeds to fast

In Apex: set home and App drawer to 0 ms

Also for the weather widget***

I have found that by having nova installed and using this widget below on galaxy launcher for some reason gives you a widget that looks somewhere between note 3 and s5 widget like this below on the right...just if your wanting something similar widget wise when using nova apex on galaxy launcher...enjoy

Mega

If anyone knows why or how this widget appears to take on elements of the theme of whatever widget you have installed...this is the first time I've ever tried it...maybe someone more familiar will know

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Zugshad:
But your tweaks still Perform betterfor the stock tw?

Also not sure if this is normal. But getting great battery. However I turned on my bt and connected to my headset and made a call then left it connected and I lost about 20% in 15 min or so with it just sitting. I know I know turn bt off but this just didn't seem normal to me. I typically would leave Gps and bt on and max lose 1% an hour with it sleeping just Curious if others had this.. Other than that loving it

Unfortunately dude...for me at least...bluetooth is the biggest drain on my battery hands down...i love my gear and sacrifice the battery life...but on my galaxy mega or note 2 with bt 3.0 I get about 2 ffull hours of screen time more than the note 3 with bt 4.0 ...when I don't use my gear and keep bt off i literally add an hour min of screen on time...so at least for me it's always like this...i didn't change anything at all with bt...it's exact same as stock was. ..and yea stock TW will be faster from all the tweaks and rebuilding....this is just for those like black that always use 3rd party or for those who wanna give one a try ...at least this will optimize the experience

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
Hey bro. The Google maps apk link you've provided, is it the same as the one in play store or is it something that hasn't been released yet. Reason why I'm asking is, the one you provided says 8.0 and the one in playstore says 7.7

From my 3rd beast of a phone...!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Zugshad:
Yeah bt definitely big drain it just had seemed a bit more than normal but yeah ill just keep it off when not using for sure hehe

Excellent find...thanks again for posting it...i posted the apk in 2nd op for you ....did you see the post I made about the launchers...i was hoping you could explain the deal with the widget...i know you like to use the 3rd party launchers hopefully you've seen this before lol ....how does this work if you know? I'm a little baffled how it sort of changes to fit whatever weather widget you have installed

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea well that's also a good idea because it will constantly cycle checking for any devices it can connect with...leaving it on and not connected may actually drain more than being connected to your earpiece...Def turn that bad boy off and see if that doesn't improve your battery life

Fellas I hate to say I just saw a report that samsung released Knox 2.0...a much more serious and advanced security dual boot system that is nearly impenetrable...idk what this means for us in the dev community...but given the difficulty of rooting and romming knox and kk alone...an even more advanced version can only spell trouble...as much as I love and have been obsessed with my samsung devices I'm afraid the note 3 may be the beginning of the end for the heyday of romming. ..this is one time i really really hope I'm dead wrong

Dude i couldnt believe it when I read the article...they've enhanced the security by several magnitudes and therfore the complexity of modding or hacking around it will be that much more difficult...so annoying dude

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea but the next decent device is lg and they're light years behind samsung imo...plus the developer unit are just tthe s line not the note...and strip all features from the device...that's why I'm so bummed...there's no real other option especially for a note

Mega

I guess in all seriousness I'd have to start considering a Chinese phone with snapdragon chip..vivo xplay 3s and zte nubia x6 are my two front runners but I'd hate to see the day when we're completely locked out of a phone we pay 700 or 800 dollars for...all because some business people use Kno?? Why not sell specific models and leave the general devices alone? I don't get it

Hmm. Mega fef know more about this than me,....

I assume stock is now deleted, yes?

Can you try flashing v3 in the stock slot or is that slot deleted also?

I don't think we are suppose to actually delete the stock slot, but rather flash over it instead.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] butchieboy:
Yeah I wiped stocked slot to free up space thought it would be ok because I have backup on my external sd. Activated slot 1 where I have Firenote now stuck on GalaxyNote 3 screen

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MoJoe277:
This is not good news for us. But honestly, can you blame them? The devs here on XDA made Knox look like a joke. Then all the bad publicity started showing up about how Samsung's top notch security program is worthless.

It was only a matter of time before Samsung had to come up with the new version.

Keep in mind that Samsung's main target at the note is for the corporate world where security is a high priority.

Mega what does this mean for our note 3s in the real world? Will it simply stunt the continuation (kk root ect) or will it set us back?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I think they will just push the update out. As long as we don't update, we should be fine for our phones. Sucks for all the new devices that will be built in though. I guess we can just stay where we are and let the dev rip out the Knox like they usually do with custom rom so we can flash safely.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
This is where I'm torn...while I partly agree with you moe...as I have taken up for Samsung previously...except the sole reason for knox is commercial enterprise which they could do on a device specific basis...as general users it has no real benefit...black that's the thing that's git me so bummed...if it's as secure as they detail...there will be no ripping it out...in fact if it's as secure as they say, integrated at the kernel and boot level...then we're looking at the last series of custom roms...you've all see the difficulty in getting root for kk and ss...we still don't have it...now imagine it'd that much more complex...then you'll see why I'm not as optimistic as black...but I'm trying to keep hoping

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Unfortunately what this means imo....they will integrate Knox 2 into the next wave of kk updates over the next few weeks or months...which means imo if we don't get ss and root for KK to build on the first kk build or 2 we can kiss official base roms of kk on the note 3 and will be stuck in the exact position were in now indefinitely...i really hope I'm wrong about this all. ...but it the rollout of Knox last year is a guide this will spread out like a wave across all high end devices blocking known root and recovery methods making it all but impossible to bypass

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Maybe I should've explained as black and a few others seem to be mistaken...unfortunately there is no removing Knox. ..what black and others are referring to is the Knox Apks and Elm Agent apks...the real Knox is located deep in the boot and kernel and has never been removed from our note now...this is why I'm worried about this. ..we have yet to break the Knox tthat's in our note as is....removing the apps does nothing to change the root level real Knox security that is unbreakable as is

So its possible Mega that if one were to take the official OTA update to KK..that in the following weeks or months there could be an OTA of Knox?
