Do you guys recommend leaving Sprint connection optimizer on or off? I rarely use Wi-Fi, if that matters.

I recommend leaving it off. Why? Just cause lol.

Honestly, I think it saves battery when it's not processing in the background.

I've found that on my phone, and others with Samsung Galaxy variants, that it does some serious wonky **** with connections stability. Leave it off.

On that note, is anyone experiencing AdAway not working? I had to reflash from scratch the other day, and chrome was SSSLLLLOOOOOWWWW, refused to finish loading pages...

I disabled AdAway, boom! Supafast! I reapply, and... pages are fast, but no ads are blocked.... Ads all over the place...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Adaway working fine here. Added crapalink Xposed module, and all is right as rain.

Titanium back xml format for sms, call logs, etc. No system apps.

Backup crucial files from card and internal memory to your computer and the cloud.

Flash NC5, restore only those items mentioned from TiBu, and clean flash recovery then this rom.

You should be set.

Once you're out of this, back up your EFS partition only from TWRP, then copy that to wherever you may need it. It's an in-case-of-emergency backup.

Please keep us apprised.

Finally, you may want to invest in a new external SD card if needed.

Freeze connection optimizer from TiBu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingdazy:
Figured it out.

Srsly dumb.

It's related to the new "data compression" feature built into Chrome now. (pages are compressed at Goog servers) Apparently in my reinstall rush I absent-mindedly turned that on. Turned that off, and it would appear that AdAway is functioning properly now.

Curious if anyone else will have the same results?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidzer1:
I've been having a similar problem where the battery % remaining goes up when the Galaxy is just turned off for a couple minutes. Turn it off at 85% battery charge, wait a few then turn back on and you have 92% charge. It's only one of 3 Galaxy's I have that does this so I thought it was maybe a hardware problem. Also charging it may hit 95% and then while still on the charger starts going down and may run down to around 85% even though cell and Wifi are both turned off - just sitting there doing nothing. I've monitored the battey temperature with AndroSens and it is always okay. Oddly sometimes the battery voltage reading with AndroSens reads at a level that would indicate a full or near full charge but the percentage shown may only be around 85%. It's rooted with a custom ROM but had this same problem on the stock ROM.

How do you clear battery stats? Would that happen just by flashing a ROM after a wipe of cache and reset or do you need to clear them manually ?

Strange Galaxy... maybe it's sitting on a fluctuating space quanta free energy aether node :rolleyes:

I've just realized that my screen is not rotating. The "screen rotate" option IS checked and I've also tried the "rotate all directions" in Wanam. This doesn't work either. I saw a couple other people had trouble with this too. Did anyone find a fix???

I've been on this rom since Ive updated to KittKatt..I just noticed a few days ago that there was an update for this rom..HOWEVER...I am unable to back up anything, as it keeps giving me a "failed" error. Prior to the update to KitKat...I didnt had this issue. Ive posted about this problem im having on other post and I was told that I havent fully updated my into...which I dunno how or why? It is said that Im having the issues that Im having bcuz I need to be fully updated....That being said...can any one show me a screenshot on on my "About device" info should look like?....right now My Software # ends in NAB as well as my Baseband. My build number on the other hand says "NC5"....what should my info say? Buz Im confused...does anyone have any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I answered your questions thoroughly in my stock rom thread.

Please refer there, then return here and upgrade to the latest version of this awesome rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecbettis:
Was this in response to my screen rotation question. If so, yes I did uninstall it. And if that is the issue then crap. I don't want it on my phone but I want the screen to rotate. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acedooncoon:
Ok...so I did the system wipe (factory reset) but I think I did something wrong bcuz after i tried to reboot...It got stuck on the Samsung note 3 screen....I was able to put into recovery and when I tried to reboot system...I got a message that said "no OS Installed" and I got another message that said "You phone doesnt appear to be rooted...would u like to install superUser"....I got a little scared but then quickly remember the file u told me to flash on the other post....that brought my phone back to life....and I went into about device and everything said...NC5. After checking that...I went back and followed the last steps u gave me in the other post only bcuz I fgured that I lost root...and I remember seeing the red android guy (I seen when I rooted before)..I am now flashing this rom and waitng for it to boot up....Im leaving my first job to head to my 2nd job...so I probably wont be respond until 2morrow.....but thanks for u help man...thank u for ur patience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Thank you for the update.

There are few on these forums that have not experienced a taste of that which you've just been through, and all that matters is that you made it.

Congrats.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BigMosley:
I just setup things and figured I'd chime in. I just flashed the ROM and rage kernel and GPS/navigation works here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BigMosley:
I did a fresh install and I do have a boot sound. I then installed Wanam and clicked disable boot sound and that also doesn't work. Is there another way to disable this loud corney sound when turning on and off the phone? Also I see others have customized their notification icon colors, is all this done in Wanam also or via another app/theme? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
The GPs lock is not the issue. The problem is the turn-by-turn/navigational guiding does not work. Once you drive off the cursor remains on the initial locked in position.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
I am beginning to think, that people who are on the 4.4 bootloader may have this gps issue, can anyone confirm this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
yes, go to syste/media/uisound

rename the PowerOn.??? that should disable the sound, I do not understand, I did not add boot sound to Vision.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BigMosley:
I believe I am on the engineering bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beandip-Javier:
Just my thought [MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION] , but I don't think it's the 4.4 bootloader. I have not had the gps issue on the 4.4 roms. Just like others I can refresh my weather location and finds me but anytime a app uses gps the gps symbols appears and won't go away until I reboot. Gps nav finds my location but if ls way off or at times won't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
+1

I have also ran other 4.4 ROMS and GPS has worked as well. Mine will pinpoint me perfectly every time I refresh it on maps, nav, weather, etc ... it just won't follow me. Hope this information helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
Then how can we pinpoint the issue? Haven't found anything in common with anything? Seems random.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
This is a long shot because I am by no means a developer, I lack the awesomeness gene that you have running through your blood for that, but is there anyway that the gps issue and the nfc issue could be related?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
[MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION], I think a good way to approach this is to see what folks have as location settings. So much has changed with KitKat, and with GmsCore updated multiple times, it's made this even harder to pin down.

I have a battery of Zooper widgets, a few of which rely on GPS lock. No matter what I do,after a fresh rom install, it can take a few reboot cycles to get a good GPS lock and to have that flashing icon go away. I do not believe that you've altered anything in framework, or touched the entire DeOdex base that could be impacting the antenna array or its ability to grab and lock in the Sprint Note 3 rom base. But I am not a dev, so this is speculation.

So...I suggest that everyone having or not having these issues do the following...

Check location settings in Google Settings, and set those to high accuracy....

Then try going into maps and see that flickering GPS icon just do its thing.

You may find that most of this may take some settling in.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it will eliminate one suspicion I have; namely, that your rom dropped commensurate with the insane Google Settings updates that rolled out within 3 days of each other.

I'm using the penultimate build (same rev number, but different set of numbers inside of the parentheses, see screen capture), and it fixes a ton of crap that I'd otherwise be encountering, the biggest of which being the inability to open a themed Gmail (force close city).

Rename the existing GmsCore in system, priv-app with the bak extension, watch your system go bonkers for a few minutes, then push this to system, priv-app, fix permissions, reboot.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xt0587tg4138fho/GmsCore.apk

For added measure, one could go into app manager and just kill all settings for Google Services (believe it or not, it's one nasty beast), clear cache and manage space, and just blow it all out...

I'd recommend doing a nandroid backup prior to this, since you're messing with a core file that just propagates itself across the interstices of the OS.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Checked my settings to make sure they didn't change and they are still on high accuracy, been that way since I first booted this ROM. Just to give it a bump I changed setting, backed out, went back in and put it back on high accuracy and still the same thing. I don't have time right now to try the gmscore but I will try as soon as I can, probably tonight or tomorrow. Just curious [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], I know your gps is working but is your nfc working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] K.0.0.L.:
Out of curiosity, does this rom has "call record?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
I'm not sure if it was put in but you can enable this with Wanam Xposed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tiggam:
Great rom, really. Stable, minimal, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all your team's work.

Nope, but it could easily attain it. Probably best to wait for the stock base to be updated to NC5...

Yes this is correct of you remove myhub then screen rotation breaks. Pretty goofy if you ask me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecbettis:
Ugh! Guess I'll have to restore. Major bummer. Thanks for letting me know!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
So I searched this and others and also called sprint to verify; my wifi calling says failed to verify. Any thoughts?

I guess I'm wondering if this is a rom issue or setting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ch3vr0n5:
No need to restore or keep Samsung HUB. This happens due to the uninstall removing a necessary library file. Check out the folowing:

1. extract libgnustl_shared.so from system>lib of your rom's zip.

2. Copy and paste to System>>lib and change permission to rw-r--r--

3. Reboot and enjoy!

Tested this myself and and it is indeed the resolution. Sources:

Ok so I'm back again..... So upon getting home I tried to download all my apps then create a back up so I can move around to different Roms... However I still can't back up.... It's saying that I do not have snuff space..... When I check the space my phone has about 4GBs of free space and my SD Card has over 20GBs..... It I think I see what the problem is..... TWRP shows that my "DATA" portion (that's is part of the back) up is ridiculously high.... Here's a pic of both my internal storage and my external storage..... I have no idea why it's so high..... I'm thinking I should format my internal and start all over. According to my phone I have a little over 19GBS of used space in Misc.....how do I free that up??? Do I see how much the DATA is??? that gotta be a mistake. :(:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ubigred:
Do you have Lucky Patcher installed?

Sent from my SGNote 3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yeah, that's really weird. You likely need to wipe your external storage, and reflash this rom from your internal memory.

There's a rogue app on your device thinking that a sector of your data partition is taking up more space than the device has available.

If I remember correctly, you had used TWRP and PhilZ CWM, each with less than desirable results. Did you try to restore anything from one of the prior backups? If yes, please reflash using TWRP and restore nothing from an older CWM or TWRP backup until you get this resolved. You can save your call logs, contacts, mms, etc from Titanium Backup, xml format only.

Go to your external storage, and delete the TWRP folder.

If using ES File Manager, make sure that the recycle bin function is turned off.

Lastly, remove your SD card, and perhaps invest in a new one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Stryke_the_Orc:
In your case it may be a faulty battery or a dirty contact. I believe clearing battery stats was removed quite a while ago, I don't recall seeing that option for some time now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
The Sprint rep yesterday was quick to blame the WiFi issues on the rom. Today I talked to another rep who was very helpful and said that if your location services are not enabled the first time WiFi calling is enabled, is causes a "failed to verify" error. So, all location settings must be enabled when setting up wifi for the first time and then can dialed back after activation. Just thought I'd share the fruits of my 2 hours with Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acedooncoon:
No I dont have that...but I was able to fix the problem. I basically just formated my internal storage.

I was able to get it going now. I just formatted the internal storage. After doing that I was all set. I did make a copy of my internal storage on mu computer so Im good. So now im good...I was able to back up my Rom and now Im trying now ones.....FINALLY!! lol....Thanks man.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You are most welcome.

My recommendation is to flash one thing and take it slowly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Acedooncoon:
Which is what I usually do. Ive read many post where things have gone all the way left for people and they dont know how or when it happened becuz they flashed so many things. In my case...the only thing Ive done was update from 4.3 to 4.4. and stayed on one rom. It was only when I tried to update that Rom, that I had found out about these "issues". Nonetheless...Im good now...thanks you guys like u and others who have reached out too..Thanks for all the help.

Anyone Know how to remove the tweak that Makes it so all apps are available in multi window and pen window? I think that is what is causing mine to not show up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dalek_Caan:
I would think if that was it the issue would be more ROM wide but as we all know not all devices act the same :)

you would need to pull the framework2.jar from the last version without the tweak to remove it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
So I take it you're not experiencing the same thing? Then maybe its just something on my end... I will try to narrow it down
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecbettis:

yeah sorry it is working on my end ... hate to ask the obvious but have you tried toggling it on and off in settings see if it makes a difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] escavi:
I've been having problems with the permissions being able to get changed for this file in this ROM. I have used Root Browser, held the file to bring up permissions, changed it to 0644 rw-r--r-- and get an error saying that changing permissions was not successful. Please not that some file systems do not allow permission changes.

Additionally, I tried to paste it in the proper directory first before trying the above to then later change the permissions, but it wont let me paste it in the system/lib directory
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
Make sure you are on the most current supersu, this will cause permission issues, use Root Explorer, you said root browser, that will not let you do root functions will it? I do not remember. Is there such an app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Sounds like you root browser isnt propery doing root stuffs. Id make sure its being granted superuser by checking your su list in supersu. You also may have to enable root browsing in the setting somewhere.

I would also recommed root explorer for doing these kind of tasks, been using it for years now. But its a paid app so if you're not into paying id recommend es file explorer for a free alternative. I like root explorer better but es should have all the same features for free.

So I did this. But I still do not have screen rotation. I used "File Manager" to copy the file from the zip and then paste it to my System and I changed the permissions. It said "file NOT copied" but when I look back it is in there. However, it says "0.00 KB" for the file size in my System and is says "1.15 MB" for the file size in the rom zip. So I'm guess it didn't truly transfer. Do you have any other ways or ideas to get this to actual transfer over??? Thanks!....... NEVERMIND! I got it!!! So for anyone else that may have the same issue I just had... I just found the libgnustl_shared.so file from the zip in File Manager and emailed it to myself. Downloaded the file from my email. Opened File Manager and moved/cut the file from my downloads folder to my System>>lib folder. Changed permissions to RW-R-R and rebooted. Works great!

Please realize that your job is complete. You developed a solid ROM and those with a little bit of brain can run it without any issues. I'm delighted with v3 and intend to keep it until my next upgrade. You deserve a reprieve and please don't feel bad about it. You made it happen, man, and there are hundreds of Note 3 owners that are extremely appreciative of all your work. Go, and enjoy life!

Well I had myself tried hell lot of things but after 1 week of head banging . Just restored the system files from my nandroid via recovery .

Don't sweat it restore the system only from your backup ( provided you make a backup of your rom first up after first Installation.)

I just had to re debloat my rom .

UPDATE:

Ok, I have come up with a plan that should work just fine, after multiple copy and pastes outside of xda I have found a way to to at least get this Vision X download center link inserted into the OP, lol, pretty wild doing it blind, but I did it. So from this point forward, I will NOT be able to edit the OP with any info about any future releases of these roms, until a fix is found. So all downloads will be done from that host site, I will post any info in the threads about releases, so if someone does not at least read the thread, they will not know what is going on, this is the best I can do, I do NOT want to stop the development of VisionX roms at this time. I enjoy providing you guys with at least another rom to flash in addition to the other roms posted here, so VisionX is still alive, and I will do what I can to keep it rolling here....

This is the link posted in ALL VisionX threads now, located in the OP....ViSiON-X DOWNLOAD CENTER

Thank you for your time, lets move along.
