So I've tried all the available roms, NC2 firmware with MJE modem. So now I'm on stock rom and noticing major battery performance differences already in day of use. Instead of getting 8-10 hours of battery life, I'm getting 17 hours. And this is on stock side. I imagine with the available roms, then I would even extend it even more. Thank you again for this stock rom :D

Quick ROM question

Beanstown106 or anyone who knows,

I installed the leaked version of of KK 4.4.2 De-odex ROM on my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and from what I understand this is the ROM you want to be on so when I read about people installing other ROMs are they installing it on the different custom ROM slots in safe strap?

I'm just trying to figure out what the best ROM is right now and if I want to try to use them do I only install it on the custom ROM slots because the stock ROM has this leaked KK 4.4.2 De-odex ROM. The different ROMs I'm seeing are the Hyperdive and allience etc..

Thanks,

Hey all I \ve run this rom before but now am on latest version of Alliance Rom. Alliance has become an unstable rom for me so I want to come back to this. Is it a simple wipe and flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phillymade:
Yep, clean install and your back to stable stock.

Hi,

Stock is getting better all the time. My biggest reason to root was to get voice recording to work on Bluetooth. That turned out to be a myth. Rooted or not, it doesn't not work, no matter whose app you use. Moreover, any call recording app, other than "Automatic Call Recorder", messes up Bluetooth voice dialing. Thus, Bluetooth call recording is out for the Verizon Note 3 + KitKat + 4.4.2 NC4.

While It is getting more and more difficult to root, rooting is getting less and less useful. Restoring after a factory reset can be done with Helium, and without root. NovaLauncher enables you to backup your home screen layouts. The only mileage I'm getting out of root, is blocking OTA updates.

Sincerely,

Jack
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Digital DJ:
Jack, I couldn't agree with you more. The only reason I root anymore is to get rid of the bloatware that comes with these great devices. But I am starting to not care so much about the bloat anymore. I haven't seen significant battery increases in a rooted rom. I will say that beans roms are great, but i'm just not sure I'll root anymore when I get my note 5. I do know this, if I ever have to use my insurance to replace my note 3, I will not root it.

My opinion about BT is that not only is it a waste, it's a dying breed. I don't think it'll be around in a major way much longer.

Very interesting to know that att safestrap works on ours. Good find. Will play with that for a while.

And yeah, I am a big user of hot spot teather. But I figured I would be okay for a few days hopefully. Keep my galaxy nexus with me so I can throw in my Sim and use that for hotspot.

This may have been asked but reading on my phone and could have missed it.

Can this be flashed with ODIN? I don't want SS or anything just stock root. I am also already on it without root so would I have to go back?

Thanks for help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mrmcintosh:
Is this real....I've been waiting for some kitkat action for my retail note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
The ROM needs to be flash in SS and then the firmware flashed with Odin. You would have to go back to MJE then upgrade.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] IT_Architect:
The only niche Bluetooth ever found was headsets, only because it is the only game in town. Windows Mobile phones never had a problem recording under Bluetooth. With Windows Mobile it doesn't matter where the inputs or outputs are, and you can even switch during the conversation and there will be no hiccups in the recording. Of course Windows Mobile is a far more advanced operating system than Android or IOS, but I would think after all of this time they would have been able to come up with something that works.

The Bluetooth concept of one wireless radio for all devices makes a lot of sense. The only problem is the execution has been abysmal, and manufacturers have had two decades to get it right, yes, 1994 is when it first came out. The only other Bluetooth device I have a mouse for my laptop, and only so that I don't have a dongle to lose, snag on my bag, and bang up my port and motherboard when something bumps it. For anything other than a headset, including mice, keyboards, and networking, Bluetooth is high maintenance. It's time for a wireless USB spec. like Logitech's Unifying Technology.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chillout2010:
I've been using this setup since the beginning. Can't say anything bad about it. Works like is should. I don't check here as often as I should. Has there been any updates or changes in the last few months? Also I'm using nc2 which seems to be fine, any reason to change to nc4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
Ive been on nc2 since August. Been really good. I might want to go back to 4.3 jellybean though. If you go to nc4 then you cant go back to mje jellybean 4.3. If you dont care to go back to jellybean..than flash beans stock deodexed nc4 rom. :D

Just got this ROM installed on my device, everything is working great except for tethering. The built-in hotspot doesn't work, it always says requires a subscription for this feature. Is there something special I have to do to get it to bypass the provisioning?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thrgk:
I am on NC4 beans 9.5 and I want to try out this rom. Do I need to go back to nc2? If so what stock images/stuff will I need to do so? I am always afraid I will flash the wrong thing in odin, etc
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I have installed this ROM on two devices, one is absolutely perfect, but one is experiencing random reboots, sometimes when the phone isn't being used, other times during games and phone calls. I saw online that a lot of 4.4.2 users on Verizon are experiencing this, but not much in the way of fixing the issue. Anyone have any tips on how to combat these reboots?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mannypelo:
does anyone have a link to these downloads. I need to reflash my phone to stock and the links in the descriptions dont work anymore
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Have you tried this page?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/

This has all the stock firmware. Keep in mind they are not rooted though like this thread has posted but it will take you back to stock. I believe only 4.4.2 can be rooted. Not sure about 4.4.4 as I don't have this device any longer. 5.0 definitely can not be rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] big16point:
Links for the rooted 4.4.2 firmware

I was trying to find the links for the firmware that are listed in the first post. I'm trying to fix a phone that is still on 4.4.2. It was rooted at one time, but it appears that some sort of update has happened and I think it has lost root. I haven't checked it, but I was thinking that re-flashing it with the software from this post would be beneficial because it is supposed to have the tethering already unlocked. The links for the firmwares can't be found. Maybe the software was removed from androidfilehost? If anybody has good, current links to the software from post #1, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Try the DEV-HOST link in my sig, be sure to click on the BLUE OVAL :download" button once you select the file you want. Hopefully what you need is there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] big16point:
Thanks for the help!

I'll check it out later.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] darkhawkff:
Maybe it's just me, but none of those links work. Nothing but ad's and junk and never able to download any files.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Must be you. I just clicked 5 or 6 random files (Note 3) and they all brought up a download button, when clicking the download button they all gave me the option to 'save file'... Not sure what the issue is when you're doing it..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] darkhawkff:
Click the download button, not a single one would give me a 'save file' or anything, always timed out.

That's aside from the ad's and junk it pop's up.

Haven't been able to get a single download to work there. Every single one times out. But just there. Everything else other places works fine.

I might suggest logging out of your account and trying anonymously.

EDIT:And just for the sake of it, tried this in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox, just to be sure. None worked. Always timed out downloading a file. Could always load the webpage just fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I don't think I was logged in, but not 100% sure, clicked link in my sig.

Odd. Why would it only allow someone logged in to d/l their own files? Something's up for sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] darkhawkff:
No idea, all I know is it isn't working.

But I still say, give it a try. Logout of your account and see if you can download the files. Maybe I'm just screwed up, but I tried it on 2 different computers with different browsers and still couldn't get a single file to download. It always timed out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Not logged in (see upper right corner of window)

got the download, then the mirror, then the "save file" and saved to my desktop...

I have no idea what's up!

I have tried everything. I've tried all different types of TWRP. Hlte and VZW. Neither one of them will stick. only way I can boot into a ROM is pull battery, go into download mode and then choose restart phone. I even tried flashing NJ 6 stock firmware. Odin says pass but did not update the firmware. only ROM I can boot into is the hyperdrive rom which is a backup. Do you have any advice?

I have had some suggestions on how to semi-permanently disable the camers so I can go into buildings where cameras are not allowed. I guess the best was to overwrite the camera.dll file with a blank (unless someone has a better idea??) Can anyone help me I find, back up and replace the old .dll file on my new Tmobile MDA Vario Wizard? I can not seem to access these type files and see the extensions from active sync to my laptop.

Thanks for any help,

Thanks for the tips so far. Reply to tips: I have already assigned the camera button on the side to contacts but you can still turn on camera via programs. I would like to pop out the lens, but can't find out how to do this?? I have already put a lable over the lens a temp fix. The change in control panel to view hidden files through active sync worked to find the camerapicturedll and video files. How can I create a .dll with no info? Then I could replace the .dlls I have copied off and saved. Perhaps I could just delete them, but I have not tried and not sure it will let me. Any thoughts?

if you are rooted try installing systemui.apk from someone else or download it from my rom on original development or if you are not rooted, reinstall the firmware again via FXZ.

the results of updating the prl were promising... I'm just downloading speedtest to see if I'm getting the speed I should

You are the man!!! I still don't know what profile is about but my speeds are what they should be thanks

Sorry that was a false alarm I accidentally flashed an old rom

Im glad it worked for you! I am not sure what updating PRL and Profile does but it works for data issues :p

Can you post your speeds that you mentioned you were measuring?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uconnpat:
actually it didn't work for me

Data is really weird for me right now... (a month ago it was fine) I'm constantly flashing new roms

I go between the pacman, liquidsmooth and cm remix

I actually thought it was a radio/prl/ programming issue but now think that it is a rom issue

My house gets horrible data about .4 megs (enough for streaming spotify)

My work gets awesome data about 2.2 megs

I'm about to flash the newest cm remix (because cm remix has been the most reliable when it comes to data

It is hard to believe that there are only two pp customers on this board
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erickr13:
Actually I am on RingPlus so I guess that the stuff I do to fix my data issues after flashing a ROM will work on any Sprint network- based company.

Can you try flashing the latest Sprint radios? This link contains all the radios: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/sprint-develop/sprint-radio-collection-t2195481

I recommend flashing the radio GA02, report back with results please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I've got a toroplus on Page Plus, and unfortunately the 'Update PRL and Profile' trick is no good for us. Page Plus uses Verizon's network, not Sprint's, so our phones have to be manually flashed using ETS and PRLs can be updated using a neat little app called CDMATools. (It's on the forum here somewhere, needs to be a system app) I'm thinking that 'Update Profile' is similar to *228 OTA programming on Verizon's network. That of course doesn't work either for us. The nearest equivalent involves setting up a donor phone, running *228 on that, then pulling the authentication keys from that and writing them to the Toroplus - not exactly something you want to do every day or two to get data working again. .

Do you have your 'preferred network type' set to 3G? May not help, but it's a thought. There are also some more involved network mode settings exposed in the CDMATools app., may be worth poking around in there. It sounds like you're getting good 3G speeds at work, not sure why it would be so slow at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erickr13:
Oh I see, I thought PP runs on Sprint network.

Also you mentioned that he need "CDMATools" right? Well installing VanirAOSP (A KK 4.4.2 ROM) will give you CDMATools as a system app if you cant manage to get the app by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoseIlla:
**EDIT** To start, I'd like to say that once you've configured your phone properly you can flash whichever ROM you'd like with no problem. I flash mine all of the time, it's great.

PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. It's a bit of firmware(?) used to program the phone and tell it which cell towers to use. So far as I know, the newer the better.

The profile is the data profile. When you update this, it fine tunes the data settings and includes the information your phone needs to communicate with the network to negotiate your Internet/MMS access.

If you're on a Sprint-based provider, you'd normally be able to provide the information to the best of your ability (following a trustworthy guide) and then connect to wi-fi to have the final configuration updated. This is what I did, I had no data access until I did this part.

But... since you're on PagePlus(which is Verizon-based) I don't know how simple or difficult this is. It may be as simple as flashing a PagePlus PRL and a Verizon radio. It may be more complicated. There are guides like this one available that should be of some help. Just remember to follow the direction to the letter, a single screw up can result in you not having data or cell service, and even worse you may end up on the phone having to lie to PagePlus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uconnpat:
thanks so much for all of your responses

to be clear, Profiles are not for verizon based /PP users, correct????

Yeah I kind of figured out that Data was independent of rom after about a 2 day freak out session. I have activated data and mms through the long process which involved a donor phone etc.. hence the freak out session (about the thought of doing all over again)

That being said I think some of the newer roms are messing with the data somehow... maybe its the switching between wifi and data... I don't know but I'm on the newest cm remix which I like for a lot of reasons and get data

btw I have it set up on my phone (to save battery) that when my wifi is on my data is off and vice versa does anyone think that the constant switchin on and off is causing problems???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
You can grab the .apk from a ROM like Vanir and push it to /system/app/, or use a flashable .zip like this one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48083686&postcount=150

For bonus points, add CDMATools.apk to the list in /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh and it will stay through flashing ROM upgrades, just like your gapps. :)

Not firmware, just a list of towers and networks - but you've got the idea. Here's a fairly recent PRL modified for a Sprint phone on PP, works well for me:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ing-problem-Ver-53078?p=15256795#post15256795

Not Verizon radios, you need the Sprint one. Much more programmable. In fact, the only way to reprovision a Verizon GNex is to flash a modified Sprint CDMA radio. A Page Plus / Verizon prepaid PRL is needed though - that and the authentication keys which must be pulled from a donor phone.

Correct. Mine tries to update its profile every time I reboot, maybe because I don't have the shared secrets for 3g data? The profile update always fails, says "can't connect to server." I say "OK" and move on. My 1x data works fine (if you're familiar with PP plans, I'm on the 12, so 3g would just let me chew through my 10Mb/mo. data a bit faster.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uconnpat:
Thanks so much for this... right now I can get data but it takes a little longer to get working than I'm used to. sometimes I cant get data and about a few weeks back (at about the time my data problems began I did do #228 sel2 which I think updated my prl to 53401 (I didn't check it before hand. I'm flashing the prl you posted I'll report back soon

oh and I'm noticing horrible battery life on my cmremix but that would make sense because it is searching extra hard for towers ... right???

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uconnpat:
I downloaded vanir, changed the prl, backed up cdmatools so I could use it with any rom if need be and am flashing preferred rom now

the 3g icon works quickly and consistently

but there are two problems

one is that it is showing a '?' with a small version of the four bars

asking me to sign into the network

and speedtest is showing me network communication issues

I think its a 4g thing

I really think that is it... It is trying to get 4g and for the life of me I can't figure out how to tell it to stay away from 4g and just stick to 3g
