[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wojo797:
OK so with some help from people in this thread I was able to finally download to extsdcard...the only problem now is esfile manager is showing 2 extsdcard lol... I know this is something with kk but how do I get it back to just one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Always-Learnin:
Maybe try clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery and rebooting?

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

FYI for Sacs...the 4 in1-Reboot option is not working for me. Neither are the S5 Quick Settings Icons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Any chance that you have an Xposed module providing the 4-1 reboot menu? The one on this rom created by freeza works well, but may be in conflict something else (ie, Xposed module).

Just a stretch.

Good luck!

I really need your help. I followed this guide to the T. I didn't everything and I used all the correct files. The phone has a red x on the signal bar and I can't make any calls or send or receive texts. Idk what happened but I really really need some assistance. Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I really need some help. Can someone help me please. I still have only a red x on my signal bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
I think you need to totally wipe your phone minus external sd and start over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shyne888:
Ok right now service mode is telling me

No service

Network: Blocked

IMEI Certi: Fail

What does that mean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danon.brown:
Sounds like your phone didn't pass to be on the network. Where did you buy it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
Does wifi work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shyne888:
Yes wifi works great. The whole phone works great besides my data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ycats:
Copy paste from stock DeOdex, retain S5 in priv-app, push, fix permissions, reboot.

How do you "fix permissions"? When I find the file using my Root Explorer app, and then long-press it, I see options listed and then choose Permissions, but I don't know what boxes are to be checked/unchecked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] simoncinis:
It's not connecting to network. Maybe you have flashed an international or other carrier odin by accident. I've never heard of the phone just losing network. Screen shot the about phone section for baseband info
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
Just curious but go to the playstore and download phone info samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] btvolta:
Rw-r-r.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shyne888:
Ok i did that whats next. Thanks btw

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

What odin would be the right one for my phone? I have only downloaded what i was informed to download via flash instructions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ycats:
I see:

Read Write Execute

Owner X X X

Group

Others

Is that right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] simoncinis:
You can try 1.85. Otherwise 3.04 3.07 or 3.09. But 1.85 might just give you the best result.

I'd still like to see the screen shot to verify baseband build and such.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
Take screenshots of the app so we can see all the info. It might take 3 screenshots. Then upload them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shyne888:
The screenshots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
Ok I don't see anything out of ordinary other than radios not working. I think you need to go back in to recovery and wipe everything then reflash the NAB tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jbarresi19:
Hey Sac were you still going to add a flashable for the S5 settings UI or decided against it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ronny71:
How and where can i change Font styles on this Rom...Loaded fonts ...but theres nowhere to open it up and install the fonts...I need sum guidance...:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dharmabum02:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] onekoolbrotha:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I finally have version 4 working. Just wondering if anybody has had issues with the samsung Video Player and if so what was done to resolve the situation. Any information would be highly appreciated.

Can anyone help me in changing the record button to the add call button I tried the multitool mod but that didn't work. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DevilDog512:
If you use xposed then you can do that with the wanam module.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Need to use file browser and go into system/priv-app and delete the extra video apk. Keep these two delete other:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caesar_:
After following these instructions.. Will I still be able to restore NAB touchwiz and aosp nands.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jay07jay:
Tried using wanam and that didn't work any other suggestions is welcome thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tmwilsoniv:
Just finished setting up V4. Love it! But I have to ask a question:

Where do I find Wynam and Xposed?? Are they hiding in plain sight or do I need to be industrious and download and side-load them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Goto the play store and download wanam and after you install and open it will prompt you to dl xposed..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tmwilsoniv:
Wow! Long day and a brain fart = misspelled word search...

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ronny71:
Thanx that wurks...i appreciate it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tokencollecter:
I finally got v4 to work. I tried and installed the rom Note X rom 15. It uses nc5 so after installing it I did a full wipe and format and tried installing v4 and what did you know, it works :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caesar_:
What wasn't working.. Network?

If not, do you know how to fix that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tokencollecter:
Yes this fixed my network issue. I flashed that note X rom and re flashed sacs and it worked. I've been in the same shoes with a lot of people with issues with the network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caesar_:
I have no network and in about for baseband it says unknown in v4 and when I nand back to nab backup it still says nab for baseband and software.

This is after flashing both nc5 firmware and modem then v4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ThisAwesomeGuy:
Awesome rom!

This rom is just sweet!!!! Can any of you guys tell me what i have to delete to get rid of the apps in the notification panel, also the buttons on the buttom of the notification panel? BTW thanks for the awesome work put into this rom!! :victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
I would love to know the same. those 2 things are the only thing keeping me from this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
You have to buy the 3minit settings app from the store to remove the apps, not sure about the other ones though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Thanks but buying a app to disable said app seems stupid lol. I tried the zip from the s5 rom on sacs site that removes the 2 things but it didn't work. Seems to be all within the systemui.apk by looking inside the zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Stupid or not, it's the only way, not sure why though, you should be able to turn something off without having to buy another app...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] davistha3rd:
I been unsuccessful in fixing the sound hack/network issue. I wipe and reset, flash odin rom then firmware and baseband. Next I flash Recovery then root. I wipe and reset, flash sacs with sound hack but still have no network. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DevilDog512:
That is correct. So you have two choices here. Either push a different systemui.apk to your phone or flash a different Rom. I wouldn't advise trying to push systemui unless you know what you're doing as it will cause your phone to flip out. This line of questioning basically led to the s5 thread being closed so I hope that doesn't repeat itself here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] P8ej2Et:
Keep Note 3 settings menu?

Is it possible to keep the Note 3 settings instead of it looking like the Samsung s5? Does this rom have Aroma installer and does it give you the option there or is there any way to revert once the rom is installed?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bigmar75:
You have the option in aroma installer. Do not check off s5 settings.

Sent from my SM-G900P/SM-N900P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xsisbest:
I'm pretty sure if you don't install the S5 settings in aroma you will have the 3minit shortcut in settings to adjust. It's just the s5 ui that doesn't allow it and lidroid to show up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
no sorry mate. Even without the s5 settings there is no option to turn off 3mint shortcuts. I had to buy the app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
I have only 3 "issues"

So ive been running this rom for about a week now and everything runs pretty great! :good:

I only have 3 issues/ tiny annoyances if anyone can relate, or better yet have a fix.... Or even better yet if [MENTION=2744265]sac23[/MENTION] could take a look please! :fingers-crossed:

1. Bottom notification panel toggles. I know this one has been discussed but no one has a fix. Is there ANYway to remove them? Its not such a big deal just sometimes they can be pressed accidentally which raises the volume. And I know several others have been asking as well. (see attachment 1 for image)

2. Quick Connect?? occasionally when i connect or disconnect from wifi I get the error message "Unfortunately, Quick Connect has stopped" Im not sure what exactly that's referring to but usually when I get that message I have to go into wifi settings and connect to my network, sometimes having to re-enter the pin too.. Im not too sure, it happens occasionally. (see attachment 2 for image)

3. Lastly and perhaps the most "irritating" (to me anyways) is that when my phone boots, I get the boot animation but it always displays the "Android is upgrading... starting apps" message afterwards for a few seconds. I just find that it kinda looks out of place all the time especially after a really cool boot animation. I tried changing bootanimations to see if it does the same thing, and it did. Its clearly not a bug I think, but anyway to remove it:confused:

So yea thats about it...is everyone else experiencing the same, or maybe even have some fixes :fingers-crossed:

thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
1. No fix as of yet

2. You can freeze Quick Connect in either Titanium or App Quarantine Pro

3. I only get that when I clear cache and dalvik cache. If I do a quick reboot I do not get that message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
thanks for the tip! But thats strange. Even if i just do a reboot and I still get that message. It doesnt say optimizing apps like it does when I wipe cache/Dalivck. Just says starting apps for like 4 seconds or so. Is this only me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
No problem. I don't know man. I haven't experienced that. Does your alarm clock give you a multimedia service layer fc if you try to add a different ringtone? I'm curious because mine does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
I think i tried to emulate what u mean. I used the stock Clock app, set an alarm. And I changed the set alarm to a different ringtone and saved. No fcs but im not sure if thats what u mean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
Yeah that's what I was asking. However, instead of selecting a ringtone already there hit Add to select a different one if possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
Hmm?? I never used that feature before. But ya i just tired it and I get the same FC. So ya same here. But if I want to add a ringtone to the selection I always just put the .ogg in /system/media/audio/ringtones and set permissions to rw-r-r-. I dont know if .mp3s or other fomrats would work, but I know there are format changers online, u can just change it to an .ogg

But ya idk about the fc though :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
That's weird. I'll have to hit up Sac and let him know about that. It worked fine on v3. Thanks for testing that out for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
ya no problem, good luck I hope sac has a fix
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] luisrod03:
Collins I'm with you... I get the same thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CollinsB:
Ya, thanks man... let's hope that that [MENTION=2744265]sac23[/MENTION] has a fix! :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doby-nut:
Same symptoms here guys, bet Sac comes up with a fix, bet he does, he's been amazing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dharmabum02:
same here ... not a big deal but it does happen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] davistha3rd:
Thanks to you I got it working using this method. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
Anyone have an idea of where the heck the update settings are in the s5 settings? For prl and profile updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xsisbest:
Should be under System Update . If anything go to Settings then click the 3 dot menu on the top right and select List View.. You'll see System Update under the System Menu. You can see it in Grid View to but it's towards the bottom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caesar_:
User error.. I was flashing the baseband in pda option. Flashing it in phone option works better. Now both state that I'm on NC5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
Thanks again for checking that out for me. I found the fix. I just grabbed the Music Common Utility from Sacs S5 Rom and dropped it in, changed permissions and it now works. CollinsB I Pm'ed you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] davistha3rd:
I never thought to select anything other than 'pda'. Guess that is where I goofed, too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asteetva:
can not paste email app to system/app

I have extracted the email app from sac folder but can not copy it to system/app folder keep getting message "permission denied". Tried to change permission of app folder from "drwx-r-xr-x" to "drwx-rwx-rwx" and it says permission denied.

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cerj:
If using ES file explorer or Root explorer give them SU permissions, then make sure you give them r/w, which is read write permissions.. Then you should be able to set perms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asteetva:
Thank you so much for quick response...I gave them su permission but do not know how to give them r/w permission, tried with emulator did not work finally installed JRummy root browser and that helped...

I was just about to install your themed email app when you replied, so I have a question the one you have themed is it AOSP email or stock email?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mainstang:
So if I follow the instructions and wipe internal storage will I lose things like pics saved to the internal SD card?

Yes..but there is no reason to wipe internal...not needed

The v4 download is talking a long time. Are there any mirrors?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
Maybe this has been answered before but im currently running v4 and I was wondering what are those numbers on my top left that keep on showing up and how do I take them off?

Also I get a force close on quick connect, not sure where its coming from I'm not even doing anything it doesnt happen constantly but it happened twice since I ran the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Settings>Device>Lidroid Tweaks>Network Speed Widget
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
I dont have lidroid tweaks on my settings>device
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
Are you using the S5 settings? Switch to normal settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
How do I do that kind sir?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
You know that is an excellent question lol. I don't use S5 settings. My guess would be hit the menu button on settings? Or I believe if you go the app drawee there should be 2 apps called "settings" one of them should be the normal Note 3 settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
Never mind I got it, thank you. You know anything about quick connect force close?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
I haven't really seen it. I saw it once after I flashed v4 but haven't seen it since. My guess would be that its kernel related. I flashed stock kernel and haven't seen it since. But idk... Just a guess
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] murphdsurf:
Djalbanian would you mind telling us how you getting rid of those numbers in the top left of the screen? I'm in the same boat trying to get rid of them and foe the life of me i cant figure it out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doby-nut:
Believe its settings, device, lidroid tweaks, uncheck network speed widget (twice) reboot.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

Try freezing the quick connect .apk file with titanium back up, that may be a solution for you.

Im not seeing any Lindroid tweaks what so ever. Ive looked like 20 times? I do see a Lindroid file manager.

Posted on page 204 perhaps your in S5 settings instead of normal peek at those replys....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] murphdsurf:
Hey Doby-nut, Sorry to be a bother (Just installed this AWESOME Rom last night, So still learning my way around it) but where do i locate the S5 settings? TIA,Tom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
I believe you have to flash the original settings instead of the s5 settings to get lidroid tweaks. How would you revert back to s5 setting if you please to do so?

And how do you freeze a file with titanium back up. Where is the quick connect apk file anyway?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doby-nut:
Use app titanium back up, file should be in system/app with titanium back up select app file then select freeze.

Ref lindroid tweaks do a search of this thread believe you will find answer ref settings. Good luck. Plenty of useful posts here....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
Thank you, ill do a search in this thread...meanwhile I flashed regular settings and went back to setting/device and no go still on lidroid app...I'm not understand, did it not flash with the Rom? Ill attach a pic
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doby-nut:
Yes, do that search I believe you will see posts where nova launcher was installed, launched add app select lindroid launch tw launcher and it will appear. Search, you'll find those posts. Your not alone I'm sure....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cerj:
Each file explorer has it's own way to set r/w.. in ES, tap tools then r/w..it will give you a pop-up to choose what partitions you would like to quell with.. Root explorer has r/o, r/w button at the top left.. or it will ask you when you try to delete an app.. I have both, themed Aosp and stock email.. they will be in the mods link in my op.. Glad you got it...

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

The main S5 accu weather widget will only work on the TW launchers, but I was able to make the second accu widget trans, along with the digital clock..when you put them together it looks like the Main one., but will work with most launchers.. when you tap the widget it brings you to the accu weather page, just like the main accu weather widget..I will post in my thread soon..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djalbanian:
Ok, so I used es file.explorer went to system and then app and find lidroid apk and I tried installing it again, it installed successful but nowhere to be found...which seems odd. I rebooted phone and everything I just can't find it anywhere or under system devices..

Also, where is the stock email?

Preparing Services....

Hey guys, I'm at work and can't spend any time reading through the forum right now, I have to look busy at work lol.

Just flashed V4 and followed all the steps on page one and I'm stuck on preparing services. I don't have any cell signal at all.

I reflashed following all the instructions again just to make sure. Still no go.

Can someone please point me to the fix for this. Thanks so much for the help.
