[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Hey, Zen... After much reading and deliberation. I think getting things unscrambled is the best way to go. Getting back to a state of being able to receive the kitkat update, is it possible? Does the phone need to be unrooted? I have done a backup with teamwin to exdcard which I have now repaired. I am also going to do one to my PC. I have the stock 4.3 from Sams, but am curious as to the sboot file I have been reading about. Honestly some say make sure it's there but in others like mine, they say make sure it isn't. I am just curious whether I should take a leap of faith?, do a wipe with team win then flash stock 4.3. But, do I wipe then turn phone on then shutdown boot into Odin, flash 4.3, but again if all goes well I am sure it will come up saying I have done a custom install. And if that's the case I will not be able to get kit kat. If or **** have a few minutes could you update me on my best course of action and a step by step. If I had someone I knew that did this near me it would help immensely and I wouldn't be bugging you guys. I am just trying not screw this up and ya scared to death ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
No problem - we're happy to help.

From post #37 it sounds like you've been able to flash the 4.3 stock package multiple times with no Odin/download mode errors. If so, you are already on the 4.3 MK5 bootloader - so no worries there since you want to be on 4.3 and be ready for a 4.4 update.

Once you have your backups copied to your PC I'd recommend you do a wipe/format of /system from recovery (twrp - team win) and - if you don't mind starting from scratch - a wipe of data/factory reset as well. Then power off the phone and boot into download mode, then flash the 4.3 stock package. Once done, you will need to (1) reroot and (2) reflash a custom recovery.

This should give you the cleanest config, and the issues you were reporting earlier with apps not working should be cleared. Note that if you restore your previous backup those issues will probably come back. Your best approach is to either manually install the apps you want, or take a backup with Titanium Backup before starting all this (copying that folder to your PC before starting wipes), then with TiBu, restore only nonsystem apps - user apps only, no data. You can then selectively restore data for some apps where needed.

As for root, I can't say for sure what the 4.4 kitkat OTA installer will check for, but if it's like 4.3 you should be able to have root active when you run the software update process - but you will lose it as part of the OTA upgrade and will need to rerun cf-auto-root to get it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
OK so if I understand correctly.. The best way do factory reset within Samsung first under settings... Then go twrp and do a wipe. Then flash stock 4.3 and that should put everything back to normal. I guess if trying an update from settings after and it says that I can't then I will just have to wait til a stock kitkat comes available. I will wait for your reply on a go then go for it. If anything it's a learning curve. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Make sure you have good backups first. Copy everything to your PC.

Then decide if you want to completely factory reset - including format of sdcards. See above.

Then proceed... You can do factory reset from settings or twrp but might be easier from settings. You will need to do the system format/wipe from twrp.

Then the Odin flash of 4,3 and boot phone... Check to see if everything is working. Then root with latest odin cf-auto-root.

Leave recovery alone (change from my previous advice). You will need stock recovery to get the OTA process to work.

You can then keep an eye on the forums here. Someone will break the news when 4,4 is available and you can update. Or, after a bit of time, the full Odin packages should be available to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
I will do a reset from settings and pull my exdcard before hand. (only because I have had issues previously and have read a few times with posts saying to, also) after that I will do a wipe from twrp and then flash like you said. Hopefully all works and everything goes well. I will let you know how things went. Thanks again. Fingers crossed.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Hey sorry quick question. Since at the moment Knox has caused this counter to say that I've tried to due custom rom. Do I need to use triangle away or is this problem going to be removed when I flash new stock 4.3. Sorry just thought of this. Going to work on phone tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Once the Knox counter is tripped it's tripped...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Well success....followed your instructions and everything went perfectly. After a factory reset I did a format/wipe thru twrp and phone is completely back to stock and unrooted. ....everything now seems to work flawlessly. I have installed apps as if new as not to move something over that may have had issues. Now I guess my last question. Should I root phone now or wait till kitkat arrives. More than likely this is going to be the last update for note 2 but who knows. Will rooting the phone affect ota or should it stay the same? I'm just wondering what's going to happen? I honestly don't remember what happened last time. Knox is showing as an app but I don't think it's actually installed. I have tried ota it's working fine now. I guess like you said some stuff got crossed.

I cannot thank you guys enough. I'm sure I am not done with both your help yet.=)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Keep it the same, totally stock for now... We can only assume for now what the upgrade requirements are for the OTA.

It's easy enough to uninstall root.

You just have to figure out whether there is an app that you are running that needs it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Glad to hear all is well :)

Also, keep in mind that you will need to be running stock recovery for OTA to work. If you are completely stock with stock recovery you should be fine to update to 4.4 when it is released. (You'll probably be OK even if rooted, but just in case see below)...

As for root, like DS said, it's easy enough to unroot before applying the OTA. Your process would be:

1 - check for update

2 - if update available, download then defer update for at least an hour

3 - unroot

4 - reboot

5 - apply update

6 - confirm everything is working

7 - re-root (if desired)

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
I've poked around this on my dev phone for a few minutes. The Themes provider FCs whenever you try and set any setting using it (Theme, notification sound, ring tone, to name a couple), and so a few settings seem a little broken. Also, the backlights for the buttons and physical keyboard are not working. EDIT: Also, the OSK crashes when you try and do gesture typing. EDIT2: When the display falls asleep, looks like it won't rewake. Since the button backlights aren't working, I can only go by the fact that the charging light turns off when I unplug it to know that the phone is still actually operating.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Snuzzo:

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
...I don't think you understand sarcasm. Looks like this rom has been abandoned.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Snuzzo:
That was a very unappreciative comment. If all of you don't want a build, then all means I'll stop working on device support for this rom.

Not all, I'm waiting for a new build since I try the first, its a really awesome ROM, the kind of ROM I really want. I hope you don't stop working for our device, your work its really appreciate and awesome

Alright, then go for it. I thought someone was bumping an ancient thread for no reason. I've seen it many a time.. Sorry :/

No harm no foul. :) Sorry if in context I looked disgruntled. I'm very easy going.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] yohan4ws:
What is different about this rom vs. say SlimKat or Omni ? ...

Is this as close to a google generic plain stock build or has it got enhancements ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Snuzzo:
Its too much of its own entity can't really compare to anything. Best way for me to describe it for the end user, cm9-esque with additions.

Edit;

You mentioned both Slimkat & Omni. Think of it as a combination of both but without some ability for end user customization. Main difference, I use aroma.

Nokia X has just gone for sale on Saholic.com for Rs. 8,499 but is only available in Black color and others are shown as "Out of Stock". So people who wanted this device have to go for Black color when buying from Saholic.com but if you want other colors, you have to wait for it till March 15th.

Buy HERE (Not an affiliate, just a purchase link)
[Nokia X] Brute.Force:
I dont think that this is official. On the Nokia India website it still says coming soon and nokia always sell in India for official price which is Rs 7,500 (89 euro)
[Nokia X] Mrtoxicgamer10:
Nokia also said that this price you mentioned is before subsides and taxes and I also had talks with this website customer support and they said that they are taking orders for now and the product will be delivered on or before March 25th but the Product will be in Retail stores on or after March 27th.

and for your kind information, this website is a no joke. They are legitimate :)
[Nokia X] thaikinh:
Nokia X is confirmed to be available in Vietnam from March 12 for the price just 2.55 million VND or 117.5USD, cheaper than in India, however I am waiting for Asus Zenphone 4, expected price should be around 99USD for 8GB version.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdfpido:
Guys, please help me. I'm really, really pissed now for this Samsung BS!

I upgraded my Note 3 to NB4 (France) and of course, I could not able to access my external SD Card. There was a fix for the platform.xml, I followed the instruction to the T (note that I was successful in doing the same when I first upgraded to KitKat) but it still could not be detected, nor read.

Please if anyone knows the solution to this, please let me know.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
It actually works using solid explorer to edit the platform.xml. And yeah. You have to be rooted to do so.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdfpido:
Still didn't work. I used Solid Explorer and am rooted. :(

After adding this:

<group gid="media_rw" /> to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,

like so:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Do I have to set the platform.xml's permission to rw-r-r? I did that but still not working.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
You may need to reflash a new one.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdfpido:
Reflash a new what? Platform.xml? I backed up the original file for safekeeping.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
I mean. Flash a new clean firmware. It happened to me before. That solves my prob.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdfpido:
I lost count of how many times I've flashed this French firmware just because of this issue, and still no luck.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dahdoul:
Try Root Explorer and grant root access for it.

After edidting the platform file reboot your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] willcor:
hi ,

first of all don't think it is a bug on Rom NA6 ,( i have no such issue,using NA6 and Gmanager v 1.6.132701 )

This happenned, a few times to me in past and other forum members , on other Rom 's( and it was always the relevant Gear manager version )

I fixed this by staying on relevant Rom, but going back a version /or so, to Gear manager version , that works 100%

.i suggest to check/try other version of Gear manager( you can search Gear forum, all Gear manager version is posted here somewhere ).

Plse note ,best is to do a clean "reset " when installing and pairing Gear manager( on phone ) and Gear.( watch )

Usually it was the" notification tab" that was missing on Gear )

Only" bug" i found on this Rom NA 6 was if you sideload ,apps

,it will disappear from"" apps" on Gear watch ( but in reality apps are still present on Gear ) .

A reboot fixes it temporary , otherwise use "recent apps/tap and hold two finger on watch , to find sideloaded apps .

good luck

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
Per [MENTION=5246982]SamsungSupport[/MENTION] (and I also verified), the Email app icon is only used to view the native email client's notifications. This sounds cool, except that our Gears already receive notifications for that, so not only is having the app icon redundant, the stock email notifications can no longer be deleted. In notifications, the little email icon will show like you had a notification, like Gmail, etc... except when you click on it, it says no notifications. I had to reset my Gear to remove the blank notification. (Tweetview, anyone? )It is not a stand alone email app that lets you see all of your emails, etc.

The modded play store could be messing with it. Especially if Google Play tries to update itself (which is does without telling you) might even mess with the edits. You would have to get a logcat when you try to install something that says there's not enough storage space. The package manager should throw some sort of code to let us know whats going on.

This happens when you have a corrupt data Dir for the app.

Use Root Explorer or something similar, and go to data/data and look for the app folder that is giving you the error message and delete the app folder.
