Hey guys, anyone experiencing a delayed wake up from screen unlock? It happens if the phone has been sitting for a few and I go to unlock the screen and it's delayed about 3 seconds and wakes then locks again real fast. I'm also getting force closes on the stock email app.

It's a clean insall, I always start fresh with system wipe ect. It's been happening since a few updates back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Lag on lock screen is about 0.5 seconds, but feels a bit longer.

Mail force close has a flashable fix in the OP.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Unknown_Hero:
Thanks for the email fix, sometimes the lag is 0.5 seconds, I'm not worried about that but I am having HUGE delays in wake up like I mentioned up to three full seconds, not always but enough to be an issue because it locks itself again after it wakes since it thinks it's been unlocked for those 3 seconds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
It sounds like you have a rogue app that is causing force closes, or is taking time to stop.

Might want to post a logcat to isolate the issue.

Do you have any installed apps that might be interfering with the lock screen?

Are any programs installed taking up a considerable amount of RAM?

I've noticed a larger amount of lag on the Lock Screen when the program that was last up takes up a lot of GPU (like a game with high-detailed graphics or programs like Hulu or Netflix). Is the lag you're experiencing the same when the last open program is just the launcher?

What Recovery (TWRP? Philz? CWM?) and what version are you using?

What is the error message that you're getting?

Have you tried changing the location of the backup? There should be an option to save it to internal storage instead of MicroSD card (or vice-versa).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
That's the exact reason that I asked you the version you're running... This is why clarifying helps... you could've gotten a good answer a few hours ago...

TWRP 2.6.X.X will only work with JB or older Roms... I'm actually surprised you were able to flash the 2.1 ROM using that recovery. Yes, trying to make backups of a KitKat ROM with that version of TWRP will invariably fail.

Anyways,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] weightlifter63:
what about root? Engineered Bootloader? (as it pertains to these instructions)

so with these instructions, I don't see that it would be rooted? Whats the best method after this is installed? I should never post before COFEE! I just realized the ROM is already rooted... due to the features... I just skimmed it originally. DOOOH!

Also if I want the engineered bootloader in, can that be put in after the fact? if so what would be the best step?

Im also still rocking MiniN3 (rooted)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Most all roms are prerooted. However, if you're still on Jellybean, then you must update to stock KitKat and add root prior to flashing any TouchWiz KitKat rom on this forum. This means 4.4 2 NAB tar or one-click, then NABD update on SD card while you're still stock if you want to be on that build, then add recovery, then flash this rom.

As to the engineering bootloader, you can add it at any time, either prior to flashing this or any TouchWiz KitKat rom, or after.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Thanks for the help and mcmars, I'll check into my apps then I'm running stock launcher and not too many apps but I use Netflix a lot so I will dig into that, thanks guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
Yeah, whenever I'm stuck with an error I just can't fix with "traditional" methods, I end up just wiping system and starting fresh. Here's a checklist I would do when re-flashing the ROM.

Check the Bootloader Version.

You want to make sure you're either on NAB or NC5. You can see it on the boot screen when rebooting the phone.

Double-Check the md5 of the ROM zip files

You need to double-check the md5s on both the v2.1 and v2.14b files. I always keep these files on my external SD Card, so in case I need to wipe the internal storage, I always have my Rom zip.

Do an advanced wipe in TWRP.

For the purpose of flashing this Rom, I'd recommend checking: Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache. You could also wipe internal storage, but I doubt it's necessary.

Reboot into Recovery

I always reboot into TWRP after wiping system. There have been installation errors in the past that are fixed by doing this. I don't know if they have been addressed, but it takes seconds to do and it doesn't hurt anything. When TWRP asks you to install root, decline.

Flash the v2.1 Rom

This is straight-forward and shouldn't be difficult.

Reboot into System

This is another step that you may skip. I always do this just so I know that the system works on 2.1 before trying to update to 2.14. I'd also recommend this because you might want to make a backup of it before updating (so you have a solid "base" to work off of).

Reboot into Recovery and install update

This is also straightforward. You shouldn't have to wipe anything before flashing the update, but I'd wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, just in case.

Flash e-mail fix (if you want it)

I only use the Gmail app, so I haven't needed to flash this, but if you want to use the stock e-mail app, you should also flash the Email Notification FC Fix from the OP.

Reboot into System

Now your phone should be in fully working order.

Reboot into Recovery and make a backup

I always put my backups on the microSD card, but it's your call.

Reboot into system and enjoy your phone!

I know it seems like a lot of steps, but it really works and I've never experienced any issues when installing/updating ROMs this way.

Hope this list helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dvtmg704:
Thanks can I go from 2.1 straight to 2.14 or do I need to flash 2.13 before 2.14
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
You can go straight from 2.1 to 2.14, but make sure you are flashing the 2.14b file... the original 2.14 file had some issues which caused installation errors. At the end of the day, your Rom version will say v2.14.

Sorry if I missed the answer to my question but, I will ask any way....

I've been on this ROM for a few weeks now and really like it. I just tried to install the update and it fails. It either says it failed, or it will load half way and sit for 20 minutes and never move from there. Im running TWRP 2.7. Not sure if i got a bad download or not. I've never had an issue with bad downloads. Honestly, I'm fine with the original ROM but, I'd like to update the kernel and take advantage of any other tweaks from the update. I followed the instructions of the wipes and reboots then flash, etc...

Edit~ I did verify MD5 for ROM and Update

Any other ideas?

Also, why does this ROM have two cameras and two galleries?

TIA!

I don't think it's an issue with the ROM, but one either with the bootloader or TWRP itself.

Can you please post the screenshot of your "Backup" page in TWRP? The one before you actually start the backup. I have attached a picture of my TWRP backup screen so you can see what I mean.

My apologies about the picture quality... it was taken with my Eee Pad Transformer (TF101), which isn't known for it's quality camera.

The reason I want to see this is I believe it's only one or two of the partitions that's being read wrong by TWRP. If we can see which one is being read as 212TB, we can start finding a solution to your problem.

HOTTTT FRE3 N3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
Ok, your data partition is out of control! That's what I was thinking. I don't have a definitive answer to what caused this, but I'd bet it has something to do with flashing the ROM when using an older version of TWRP (the 2.6.X.X version).

Unfortunately, there are only two solutions that I can think of. I'll start with the less-intensive one:

Do a full wipe in TWRP (including internal storage)

Basically, the same steps as in

my previous post

, but in STEP 3, you'll also be wiping internal storage. Then, you'll need to reboot into recovery, go back into the Wipe Menu and choose the "Format Data" option (before the advanced wipe). Then you can continue with the rest of the instructions (Steps 4-11). I'm hoping this will "reset" the data partition on your device.

Re-flashing Stock NAB from ODIN

If option 1 doesn't work, let me know and I'll write out instructions on this. My theory is that re-flashing the stock NAB tar file will fix the issue with the data partition.

DISCLAIMER

You need to have all your ROM files on an external microSD card if you want to wipe internal storage... ALL data in the internal storage will be deleted. If you don't have an external microSD card, you will NOT have any files that you can flash onto your device. If that's the case, your only solution will be to install a stock TAR file from ODIN (which I have directions on).

I hope number 1 works, since I don't really feel like writing out the instructions for ODIN (in terms of flashing ROMs on my phone, I'm least-familiar with ODIN).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dvtmg704:
I did everything u told me to do I haven't done a backup but when I go into backup data looks normal I will try to do a backup when I finish flashing themes and hacks thanks for help bro
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
I'm glad it worked without having to resort to ODIN (although, ODIN's not too bad, I just don't know it well enough).

I'd recommend doing one backup prior to flashing MODs and themes, just so you have a "base" ROM to go back to in case a MOD causes FCs or anything like that.

But, as I'm oft described, I'm paranoid when it comes to flashing mods (I'm always assuming they're the cause of FCs or slowdowns). That's why I like XPosed modules so much, I don't think they sink their teeth too deeply into your system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dvtmg704:
No fc on blak x theme its great u should use it thanks for ur help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
That's some very solid, sound advice. Hopefully it will be well received and followed. I'm with you, after a fresh flash I always back it up before adding apps or mods for that very reason... It's a nice safety net.

The signal bars are deceiving and don't always show true signal strength. I use an app called Signalcheck that actually shows your real signal strength. Sometimes you have 4 or even 5 bars but the strength is not that great. Hence signal keeps dropping. Just a thought.

I think you can force it to LTE through ##DATA#, but you lose voice and sms/mms (1x is turned off). But if I'm not mistaken you can turn on wifi calling and it will route it over the 4G. It might be a useful solution for certain use cases.

I had the problem at one location that LTE signal would be fine, but the 1x would be weak, and the phone would switch to a tower with better 1x, but it couldn't get LTE from. Very frustrating.
