Really then what's the Samsung TTS apk in the base rom for then? or what's this then

Sent From My 0x1 Note 3.i love tep....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
That's the stock Samsung TTS that does come with the stock ROM. I downloaded the High Quality/HD version from the Samsung Apps store to use instead. I assume that when freeza removed the stock Samsung TTS, he also removed the capability to use either version, or maybe any other TTS. All I know is that I can't access Samsung HD TTS that I prefer, and he has accepted responsibility.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
In not on stock I'm on 2.16b and HD works fine for me . he voice works too on this rom

You do realize the HD voice files in Samsung app store still require Samsung tts apk to access and enable them

Aha, that was the missing link, thanks kaos! I pulled SamsungTTS.apk from 2.1, copied it to /system/app, set permissions, rebooted, and I have my HD female voice back again!

Just curious what doesn't work 100% with just replacing the files like I described. I have a working boot and down animation with the appropriate sounds. Couldnt find anything in the op but swear I read something about the bootanimation being fixed in this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
Idk been on this since it was 4.2 but I know it didn't work when nab came out. That was the fix. Never had to try others. If he fixed in latest version cool. But it didn't work before right. You can that threads full of people running this ROM using that fix.

Anyone having trouble casting to chromecast from chrome browser?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bbradley:
I'm not getting any sound when I use the new Chromecast update to cast my phone screen to Chromecast. This will be huge if I can get the sound to work.

Can anyone confirm that it works or doesn't work for them?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] datajosh:
It didn't work for me at first either but after I restarted my Chromecast through the Chromecast app, I was able to get the audio going.

I will try that.. Thank you! :good:

is the volume up on your phone for media? that was my issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
After about 2 months using the nexus 5, I'm back to (still!) best phone out!! So glad I kept it and didn't sell it. And thanks again to freeza for such an awesome ROM. Another donation coming soon and really hope you get the note 4 when it comes out!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] datajosh:
What made you decide to go back to the Note?

The awesomeness of the big screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] papertown11:
well

i think i give up on this rom. i use email so much and the email app sucks so badly..... any way to get rid of it and go back to the stock version that doesnt blow.? and yes i already applied the email fix through recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
Why don't you use a third party email app or side load the stock one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
I hate to say it but I missed Samsung software like the clipboard for stock apps like the messaging and browser and the gallery app since it allows you to organize the pictures into folders from within the app. Also I missed the screen real state, awesome AMOLED contrast ratios and colors. Battery life, sdcard slot and camera are also things that make the note 3 better. I could not break 10-14 of use on the N5 without battery dieing and with even heavier use on the note (in lte instead of wifi!!) I'm at 45% left!!

Finally, the nexus 5 does not support simultaneous voice and data bc of spark in sprint and I also was having issues with calls not coming through for some reason.

I have one issue so far since coming back: the multi window looks like this and I can't figure out what's causing it. I disabled xposed and also multi window manager and no luck. Any help would be appreciated:

What's wrong with it? I have work exchange email setup in stock app and works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I use AOSP Email with a hosted Exchange account, and wouldn't change it for the world.

Please make sure your multi window toggle is set to on...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Oh man! Now that I think about it, I asked you about this same thing a couple of months back and you posted the files for the email and calendar could you pls post the ones you are using now and how to install them. It's leaps and bounds better than the Samsung one for sure!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks.. this is really a great addon, most roms don't have theming options baked in, other than Josh Beach's roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Everything works fine for the multi window. The issue I have is at the side bar has half of it covered. See pic.

Thanks for the files! Just to confirm, you replace the apks in /system/app and fix permissions right?

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

This theme is awesome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mart1an:
I flashed the email app but it's not showing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
For multi window, the theme you applied merely cut off half of the side bar. Push this themed one to system, app instead...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1mx7dw6f727vaoc/MultiWindowTrayService.apk

The two zip files should be flashed.

For email, cut out of system, app both SecEmail_J and SecExchange prior to flashing the two in the AOSP zip, or you'll have 2 email apps and two exchange apps residing in system, and they won't play nicely together (both will force close).

So it's step 1, replace multi window and cut/paste the two Samsung email programs to your internal card, reboot once, step 2, boot to recovery and flash your email, reboot to system, flash the AOSP calendar (oddly, calendar and SPlanner can coexist just fine).

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

You have to remove both Samsung email and Samsung exchange, or you'll have one or both not showing. Sorry about that, but I forgot to include that step.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mart1an:
is there push support? lack of is the only reason I never used "email". every 15 mins is hogwash lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
For Exchange, not IMAP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mart1an:
oh then it doesn't even matter then lol. thanks anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Thank you [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION]! That fixed Wm side bar and email. What's the name of the Samsung calendar apk? I searched in system/app and only the Google one shows. Also, since I flashed the Google calendar without deleting the stock one, will I have to do anything else other than remove it now? Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Happily, those two calendar apps can coexist.

For your reference, the apks are displayed below...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Awesome thanks! Since the Google calendar is not replacing the stock one, does it causes any conflicts/issues deleting the stock calendar? You are the best! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Absolutely zero issues. Both calendars will sync independently of one another, as they deploy different calendar sync apks.

Flash and have a blast. You'll love it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevmo1965:
I just updated to 2.16b and now I can't sign into Google to sync. I deleted my account in the phone, cleared dalvik and cache, restarted and still nothing. Any ideas
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Try booting up and installing this...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pk1i2ju7cc3tqrb/com.google.android.gms-5.0.77+(1244185-038).apk

The latest update should have taken care of this issue, but this should wake up your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevmo1965:
Thanks for that. I figured it out a few minutes ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Idk what's going on... When I came back to using the note 3 a couple of days ago (after full clean wipe), battery life was AMAZING! even way better than when I used the phone before jumping ship to the N5. Then like 3 days in i replaced the calendar and email app and flashed the fix for the multi-window sidebar (nothing else I can recall) and battery life is horrible. Look at screen shot:

This is after 1.5 hrs of use. batt drain been pretty much consistently like this since what I said above.

I cleared cache and data from the play store just in case and don't even have Google plus installed. Even installed Greenify with paid version but haven't really taken advantage of it don't really understand it that well yet. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Been looking around.. since the main battery eater is "android system" it's hard to narrow down so I'll just do a wipe and start over...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
This is a guess, but on a hunch, please check your system apps and priv-app folders, and make certain that you do not have duplicate apks with slightly different names.

This includes but is not limited to things like Samsung Exchange and Google's simple Exchange apk, YouTube, and others.

Worth a shot. That kind of battery drain can also put your phone into a coma from which it may never awaken. Not good at all.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rianbechtold:
My battery life is horrible after the 2.16b update, also been having issues with extreme lag (taking a minute or more to type a sentence type of lag)

What would be the proper way to downgrade to an earlier version, reflash the main rom and the update before the latest or can I just flash the previous update without reflashing the base rom?

Before this update, the phone was amazing! Full day battery life, smooth as butter now my max battery life is around 6 hours and the whole thing is clunky.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Nandroid backup, then restore data.

As to your issue, gotta be related to a rogue system app.

wtf

All i have to say is . I've never been on a buggier rom before in my life. To where its making me go completely stock towelrooting and theming my own self from now on. I've tried this rom for 2 weeks and todays the day i give up in total frustration
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fly4awhtgye:
I'm shocked to hear that. I've been on 2.14 for months and never felt the urge to change to stock or a different ROM.

But give some specifics of the bugs and others might be able to walk you through fixing the issues.

email fix applied and nope the email crashes even when i dont click on the notification one the when i click on the phone icon to call someone i get this pure **** thing. and yes i redownloaded and reinstalled 2 times and get the same results both times. just done with all the bugs

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Personally I've never had any serous bugs on this rom. From the look of that dialer I think you may have a theme messing your experience up. That dialer looks like the international dialer. Ours is white. But a lot of themes push apks to the system and you may have some doubles or incompatible apps in your system/app or system/priv-app.

I may be forced to go to Verizon by my company , anyone know if this phone will work on Verizon?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
It will not work on verizon. Only a Verizon phone with the esn/msl in Verizon's database will be able to be registered on their network. Verizon is the most locked down carrier in the US. So if it's not a Verizon branded phone it will never work on verizon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rianbechtold:
Update on my battery drain issue; after using better battery stats and trying to catch the issue, nothing was really standing out. Stock battery manager showed android system using about 80%, went back to 2.14 and problem was instantly fixed, only used about 2% setting phone back up, downloading apps, syncing accounts and web surfing for a little over an hour. A little while later my wife grabbed my phone to use it and told me Google now wasn't working, I asked what she meant and she said the voice search wasn't working, I looked and she didn't have the app launched. I told her you have to launch it before using voice commands and she said she usually doesn't have to on my phone.....hmmmm....so I looked in app settings and found you can set it to always listen for "ok google" (this may be well known but I never use Google now so I had no idea) I enabled that and sure enough, I was dropping about 10% battery in less than half an hour while browsing the web. Checked battery stats and "android system" was up to about 60%. Updated to 2.16b, disabled the constant voice search and at 16+ hours of moderate use, I'm at 38% which is what I was seeing before.

Idk if the 2.16b update enabled these settings or not. My wife swears she didn't and looked confused as she watched me go into settings and enable/disable. If anyone is having battery drain, I suggest checking this, battery better stats doesn't show it and the stock battery manager registers it as "android system"so it's not very helpful either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
That just goes to show how even tho we all share the same phone the phone personalities are some times very different. I'm on 2.16 update for maybe a month now and I've had zero issues no bugs to report and u get great battery imo… Just goes to show ya.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Precisely....

Precisely, which is why it is best to try out a rom and pick the one you enjoy. Isolating issues is a straightforward endeavor, which is why broad statements as "it doesn't work" are not useful at all. Specifics are useful, and when provided, many here are more than willing to help isolate it and solve it.

Glad you're enjoying the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] figgyfig:
Great rom!!!

I'm having a issue with my GPS. I noticed the problem with it not locking on my location after I rooted, using Towelroot. I noticed the gps.conf file does not seem correct. Can anyone please get my a copy of the gps.conf that works? Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goat1378:
Did you just get on this Rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Never had a GPS issue, but my suggestion is to reflash the rom. It is not my favorite answer, but it it should correct the issues you're free describing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] simoncinis:
Likely user error. No one else has these bugs. Don't blame the ROM or developer for your inability and lack of knowledge regarding flashing custom ROMs and/or applying themes and settings.

I had a hard time figuring out how to remove sound form the boot up/down animation secuence and also putting in a custom one (I had done this in the past but completely forgot how to on this phone). Heres what I found out and posted in this AWESOME bootanimation thread :

The boot animation is named "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" and "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" I deleted bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg since the phone does not use them and the sound files are located in /system/media/audio/ui theres 2 files there "PowerOn.ogg" and "PowerOff.ogg" and inside theres another folder called SPR with another "PowerOn.ogg" I dont know if it makes a difference but I created empty files with root explorer and replaced each of those so I dont have have boot or shutdown sound.. Hope this helps. It took me a while to figure this out.

Im also happy to announce that my battery life went back to being great after i did a complete wipe and started over. However, I held off on setting up my work activesync email. I just finished setting it up again with [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] suggested inverted app. Lets see how that goes.

Thank you guys for such an awesome ROM and the support by the community here specially [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Man, I'm going to have to try that. I've always been content using the boot animation, but it seems like going the extra steps in that thread pays off.

good morning [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], would you happen to know if there's a way to bump up the minimum brightness level when auto-brightness is enabled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
I'm happy to confirm battery life is back to being good. For what I can tell, the 2 things I did differently this time is flash the email fc fix from the op and manually replace the email app with the inverted one instead of flashing them. Good stuff!!

Screenshot was taken just now with heavy usage from the start like gps in car dock mode, bad service area etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Hello I have always felt the auto brightness just wasn't right, too bright in the dark not bright enough in the light. You have 2 easy options that I know of.

1. Wanam Xposed has a option under theme that adds a +5 -5 adjustment to autobrightness. this feature only seems to work on this fre3 for me.

2. Lux from the playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite let's you fine tune autobrightness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] miguelfp1:
Thanks for the reply! I'll download and try Lux, as the Wanam method didn't work for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Good luck, and glad you got the info you wanted.

Please let me know how that app works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
OK I think I have the setup I want with this rom. There's several xposed modules that come with the rom but they are in the system. Can they be manually removed without causing issues since they cannot be simply uninstalled? I don't want to botch anything. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Disabling them after clearing app caches from app manager should suffice. For extra effort, you can uninstall updates first.

If a version 2.17 is released, and any updated version has hit since 2.16b, a new one will be dropped into system.

They take up very little space, and you're perhaps better off than deleting them entirely.

Those happen to be the ones I have also disabled.

You can delete them safely, but it could be a game of doing it again with the next update.

Still, I'd just leave them deselected.

Did not work guys ?... I even tried a different rom and reflashed this rom and still the same issue. I know it not the rom, but I can't figure out why my GPS is stuck searching after I rooted.

This is Fre3 Stock UI with the normal sized toggles and the nu 3MinitBatteryMod..
