Contacts still not working correctly

Hello all:

I must be doing something wrong......

I have completely reset the phone, returned to stock, wiped everything (and it's mother), re-rooted, installed safestrap, re-downloaded Alliance rom (in case of bad download), installed Alliance Rom according to supplied instructions, and am still having an issue with contacts. Maybe it has something to do with syncing contacts????

****issue***** (I am going to be as precise as possible)

1. I open up the black messaging icon

2. I select the compose icon in the top right hand corner (btw i'm recreating the scenario as I type so I don't miss anything)

3. I select the "+" to the right of the empty "To" field.

4. Contacts list with a black background appears and I select a contact.

5. another contacts list appears but this time with a white background and boxes to the right of each name.

6. I select the same contact by selecting the box which now has a green check mark (cause what else would I do at this point having already selected a contact)

7. A white check mark appears in the top right corner and I select it.

8. Phone pauses, goes black, then a message appears saying "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."

The only thing I can think of is that there are 2 contact lists or applications that are "competing" with each other.

+++++Let me stress this point......I need to be spoken to like a child when it comes to technological issues. Break it down Barney Style!++++++

Any help is always appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention. :eek:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
I followed your steps exactly. I get the exact same response as you..

I use Handcent and hadn't noticed. Not really sure if a fix, other than using a different app. But feel better that your issue is not exclusive to you. I'm sure Ryan will look into it.

What bubba said. I use gosms and never even use the messaging app that comes with the rom. If you don't mind, just use different messaging app and easy solve.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] roughneckboren:
You know I'm down to test Ryan!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the2rrell:
Just a quick question [MENTION=4469503]RErick[/MENTION] did you ever get the issue with the messaging app wideget fixed or looked at. Addressed in the kitkat release maybe?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
It will be fixed in the next release.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] misterwright:
LOL

is it ready yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
Errrr .... Nope

Not for a while I'm afraid. Gonna take me a couple of weeks minimum. Have lots of stuff to work on and move over to 4.4 base. BTW, I'm gonna be using the latest international base because we don't have a good one to use ourselves
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
International is pretty solid. I've tired it myself. Plus the magic you sprinkle on it, will be awesome ROM.

If Bubba doesn't hold up development that is. :D

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Its not cancelled. I'm working on it right now.

And banjo boy will choke you out with a banjo string if you're not careful:D

I are killing a random chicken to take care of both of you now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Lol. Stop choking a random (strangers) chicken. That's gross.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
Oh no .. I'm not into that like you man ..

Trust me .. it's the best way to get the voodoo to work .. I haz the power .. and the chickens belong to me .. I aint no chicken thief ..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shane1981:
Sorry if this has been asked but can this rom be flashed into another slot besides the stock one?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
As per the opp instruction ... flash ign stock. Trust me ... I fought it and flashed several times in a slot. It will give you issues because of the extreme customization.

You can restore it in a slot after flashing. But it needs that stock slot to flash properly.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shane1981:
Any chance of bricking ive done that already to another note 3 and i dont want to do it to this one .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
I was hesitant to do it .. I are old and skeert ... but .. I followed the instructions in the OP to the letter and had no issues. Are you currently on 4.3?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shane1981:
Yes. Ive flashed alot of things using safestrap so its not that .the last time i messed with the stock slot i messed up trying to go to a 4.4 rom and had to get a new phone .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shane1981:
Tried to flash and it keeps saying unable to open zip file . Why would it do that i havent had any other trouble with anything else could it be a bad download?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
No problem at all for me. I had problems using it on slot but in Stock slot it's running perfect when I had this. I change rom quite often.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
Most likely a bad download

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:

New Phone

I have just had this GN3 for a few days and was lucky enough to get a factory refurb that still had JB, so was not locked down.This is by far the best rom I have tried so far but have not wanted to jump up to KK then back down again if not happy. Fear may have something to do with it :) So now that this roms dev seems to be working on a KK rom I am kinda excited. I will assume since he is heading in that direction there must be an advantage but I have read mixed reviews. For those who have been there, what great new things can we expect? I am coming from an original GN N7000 running Asylum rom which is KK, but I do not see where there is much difference between KK and JB personally. My N7000 does have a feature I really like which is a double tap of the status bar to sleep, which is cool but I think that is not relevant to KK. I did read that the GN3 had some issues with GPS on JB but I think devs have mostly worked that out. Anyway, Big THANKS to the dev of this rom and looking forward to the next ver.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] posersk8r:
Cant go wrong with jb or kk with rerick and from my previous experience with this rom, it would still be the same, he wasnt kidding from the op, the customizations you could do will keep you busy for weeks and more. And very battery friendly i must add.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] roughneckboren:
Gimme gimme gimme!!! Cmon man the end of my hitch is Wednesday. That would be an awesome days off present. :cool::cool::cool:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Yes I am working on a KK version. I found a base that I am happy with and is very stable. But as everyone knows with my JB ROM it took time to get everything added. So with my first release there will be things that are missing, but will be added over time. One thing that I haven't added yet is menu to kill, its proving to be a major pita. However I will get it right eventually. I am mostly trying to get the theming options done. I have one last thing to work on and that's the quick panel toggles. They are proving to be very difficult in KK and it has taken weeks for our team to get them working on the S5, and getting them working on Note 3 is even more difficult mostly because the SystemUI is very sensitive and picky about how you do things. Hopefully before I go back to work I will have v1 up for you guys. I'm running it now and its smooth. Haven't had any FC or major errors yet. Been a couple of days. I spent 2 days working on getting our ROM Customizer and OTA to be compatible with safe strap, and now it is. It will actually reboot directly to recovery now with widget and flashing and will run open recovery scripts. This will allow other aroma like features to run with flashing an updated version of the ROM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] misterwright:
Still here

I know I already asked for this but can't seem to find the answer

*****************************

Are we going to get independent carrier font type and font size by any chance?

And if we could adjust clock font type and font size independently also would be a bonus!

Maybe date format control like (E, d)?

Just curious ...

******************************

I would be happy with a JB or KK version as long as I could use it longer than 3 days at a time?

I as for a lot...

So I will let Bubba axe isur dun yet?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shane1981:
I installed this rom and it works perfectly except for the 94% ram usage and when i go back to safestrap to restore my stock rom no files show up to restore all i can do is reflash a rom not restore anything .anybody know what to do?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
This is a common issue with SS now a days. I've seen a couple of posts in different ROMs about it. I don't think it's ROM related. Try to uninstall recovery uninstall app then redo it again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
94% ram usage is not a bad thing in Android. These aren't windows or mac computers. Android runs most efficiently when ram usage is high. The more frequently used apps in ram the better because it uses less CPU to load the app when you go back to it. If android needs more resources, it will automatically free up more memory. This is why it takes longer to load an app after its been killed or removed from ram than if it is stored there.

As far as your recovery issue is concerned, if you are trying to restore a backup, and it has been placed in a different location than where recovery is looking, then you will need to choose the storage location in the recovery. When you click on restore there is a black bar that tells you where the recovery is looking. If there's nothing there press on the black bar and change locations. If that still doesn't work, try what Kalz said.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
In other news, I think I am going to release the first KitKat version of Alliance. Granted there are some things that don't work yet, but MOST of the theming stuff works fine. More stuff will be added in future releases. Keep an eye out in the development section. I decided to make a new thread and maintain both ROMs separate
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Exciting news!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] HaMMeR-MaN:
1st, I really love this rom and probably going to be a bit reluctant to change, but so I have things straight in my head.

1. I am on MJ5 firmware now and as I understand I can move to NC2 and run a KK rom, but can I come back to MJ5 or do I stay on NC2 if I want to come back to this rom?

2. I also understand that TWRP 3.72 only works with KK and 3.71 only works with JB, but will 3.71 work with either of the firmwares above? I think this question will actually be answered once the above is answered.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sapps:
Hammer...here is the link to upgrade to 4.4 and here is the link to dowgrade from 4.4 to 4.3.

Both of those can be found in the AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General forum. If you stick to those two, then you will be able to go back and forth between 4.3 and 4.4. However, I get the feeling that once RErick releases the Alliance 4.4 ROM then there will be no need for you to ever go back to 4.3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] HaMMeR-MaN:
"However, I get the feeling that once RErick releases the Alliance 4.4 ROM then there will be no need for you to ever go back to 4.3"

That's what I am thinking as well, but just want to be sure :) Thanks so much for the links.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
What sapps posted will works perfect except to. Go back from 4.4 to 4.3, you don't need to restore the lengthy process. You can follow this easy guide instead. Most of the people somehow like to keep using Mj5 restore for some reason.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sapps:
Thanks Mutant....i've only gone back once so that's what I posted. Thanks for simplifying the process. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] HaMMeR-MaN:
Thanks to both for the help :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Ah yes, this will work too. However, there have been reports or massive battery drain from having a KK modem on JB firmware. Just a heads up. Some people don't experience it, some do. Seems to be hit and miss.

Still working on it guys. I always have last minute things to add... This that and the other. I also have to do some outside chores tonight. Possibly early tomorrow? IDK, my partner in crime has been hard at work while I've been out of town, so I probably have more stuff to merge tonight. That just means more goodies for you guys though :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Unless the rom that you flashed has the modem built in. I have gone to couple of different KK rom such as X-Note 12 and I'm still on MLG. Now I'm back to JB rom, my modem doesn't change. I have to stick with this modem or mj5 so my region free unlock will work fine with no problem. Just letting you know.

I'm excited to test your KK rom. Can't wait.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Vicious Von:
How come when this rom is working on all cylinders it's phenomenal
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the2rrell:
As to imply that it isn't always on all cylinders?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Vicious Von:
Don't be so negative. It's to imply when everything is in working order this rom is ???
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Thanks! Its been a rough road and I've had some issues with this ROM, but I think all the JB stuff is hammered out.

You guys are awesome!

Has anyone seen or know of a small apk or app that will allow you to post to FB directly from the Gallery without having to install that bloated FB app? (in short adding a FB icon on the share link). I suppose I am somewhat prepared for the flames but try and be kind.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] NaxIonz:
I know how to change it when I am manually creating an alarm.

Why I want to know is how to change the default volume, so that when a 3rd party app automatically creates an alarm, it doesn't blow my speakers out the window.

i.e.

In your photo, the slider is about 70% full. I would like that slider to always start at, let's say, 20% instead.

I'm having an issue where I can no longer sync my Facebook photos with the Gallery app.

Any thoughts as to why?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Looks like sync is turned off. But I also removed SNS.apk because it likes to run in the background and drain battery. See if you can get a copy of that apk and put it in system app and set perms rw-r-r or 0644 and see if that will work
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] NaxIonz:
Ohhhhhh... if SNS was intentionally removed, I'll leave it so.

If I need a picture, I'll just browse to it via the Facebook app
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
I tried hard to make this ROM for the users and not for me. If it were MY ROM there would be a whole lot more removed. SNS is safe to put back in but just drains battery because it constantly syncs.

Have you tried the friendcaster app? Way better than facebooks app IMHO. Facebook has crappy code and well... Sucks. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] K-alz:
I think he needs the "Picasa uploader" not SNS as I think SNS is only for notifications from apps like Facebook and Tapatalk. I read that Picasa uploader is for uploading photos to Facebook, Dropbox....etc. So.it might work both ways. I maybe wrong, though.

sent from my?3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Good catch. And actually I think it needs both if I'm not mistaken. SNS allows the account to sync on your phone I believe. I don't really use Facebook so I can't exactly remember.
