That's exactly what that module does is hide the extra icon. I didn't realize It changes icons because the dot icon theme I made overrides them any way. Lol.

I'm having an interesting result ever since I upgraded to version 4 when I reboot I get a message that says android is upgrading
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] repsol_23:
Mine does the same thing on every boot. Not sure what's updating but all is running smooth so far.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TSman74:
Same here but only for a few seconds, then smooth after that. No biggie.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pudgedaddy:
Loving the ROM DB, but I didn't see in your notes that this had launcher rotation enabled. My launcher is rotating and I would really like for it to stay in portrait mode. Is there a way or code you can post for me to modify to make it stay in portrait?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Cruzerx:
Can someone else see if developers options forces a crash please.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] repsol_23:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Cruzerx:
OK thanks. My force closes everytime. I will reload. Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
Ran 2 days now not a single crash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
This is why I need to get testers...this doesn't occur for me. I flash so many things that I am constantly cleaning my phone, and with Safestrap and a locked bootloader it never really gets rid of everything. Whenever I flash a new/updated rom I clear data/cache for many system apps (Play, Contacts, etc)...I also love SD Maid, use that quite a bit. Try cleaning your phone up a bit and let me know if it still occurs.

I read somewhere that this could be a product of the zipalign feature I have setup during boot...but if it's not happening for me then I don't believe it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'm also seeing the "Android is upgrading" when booting up but it's not a big deal. I'd be willing to be a tester for you. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rlivin:
Been running since release and had no problems. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
I don't think that this has anything to do with the "upgrading" message but the build I'm running is different in only 1 way. I don't have 1 launcher theme on my phone. If anyone is willing to delete all of the themes off of their phone and reboot to see if it still happens that would be appreciated. I can make a flashable zip file if you want him back as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thrgk:
Why do people care what rom they are on if they use launcher and widgets like next 3d? Not being negative just wondering
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Okay, I just got a pm from Misterxtc (creator of RicksROM). He said he had the same issue when the launcher themes are installed as system apps...which they are. So it's doesn't hurt anything getting the "Android is Upgrading" message but it should disappear if they are removed. If you like I can create a zip that would delete them from system and move them to data
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
The launcher in my eyes is in no way connected to the ROM. Most ROM'S just use the default launcher for that phone anyway.

The launcher changes how your home screens look, a good ROM performs well and has added features in it. I think of the launcher like a new paint job and a good ROM like an engine transplant. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Cruzerx:
Confirmed, deleted all the themes and it went away.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
Nice, thanks. I don't use them anyways.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mjh68:
Just a question Duece, what is the difference with V3 vs v4 ? Battery life on v4 wasn't as good for me as 3 so just curious. I appreciate all the work regardless. ..just so impressed with V3 battery life !!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
To be completely honest my first cycle wasn't as good either, BUT my first cycle in V3 wasn't very good either. I'm gonna charge to 100% and run a battery calibration for fun and see what happens. I'll try not to plug it in tomorrow and do some testing. I made a few build.prop changes so I'm gonna keep an eye on it. If it does in fact worsen I will revert back to my old edits.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] SOTK:
Having issues with sms messages not sending. Getting a lot exclamation point message not sent errors. I haven't experienced this on other Roms. Biggins V3 worked fine. I can't think of any settings I've messed with. Also, some messages are sent but in the sms Samsung app, I get the spinning circle forever instead of the time stamp I should be getting. I hope I'm being clear enough in explaining the problem. It's really weird and definitely did not start occurring until I upgraded to V4 (clean install).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
I must have the battery from the juice fairy because my first cycle on both versions were just stellar.

The one thing I did notice and maybe it's because I stare at my battery all day, but it seems like it drops from 100% down through the 90% within like 20-30 minutes but after that the battery last forever. I'm getting 6 hours of screen on time. Love it!

Next3D does not add all of the mods that are available in different ROMs. I tried Next3D and didn't like it at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phillymade:
Thanks Biggins for this great release. V4 is running flawless for me. everything working as it should. New daily for sure. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Very odd, I didn't modify anything in regards to messaging for V4. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mjh68:
No, messaging was fine . I flashed back to V3 for my camping trip but v4 worked well just not as good battery for usage. When I get home I will reflash v4 and let it run a few more cycles. I just can't charge as much on this trip and the 3.0 charger died so using an old one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pchpoochie:
I'm was having the same issue with long text not sending on V4:( went back to v3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jsirak:
Everything's perfect with V4. Happen to be using GoSMS as my messaging app. Very snappy, amazing battery life. Kudos!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Okay, here's what's going to happen. I really do not like releasing things that aren't working up to my standards. If everything is working great for you on V4 then you're good to go.

I'm going to push V4.5 today with the following changes:

1. revert back to the V3 build.prop for users having problems with battery life

2. use the V3 feature.xml edits for messaging

3. remove all of the themes to resolve "android is upgrading" popup (I can provide a zip for those who want these)

4. update greenify and wanam so there are no issues updating from Play Store

If you can think of anything else please let know soon...as I am going to start putting this together
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Possibly a way to change the CPU usage back to the Time and Date?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tttuning:
Anyway to use the blux theme with stock status bar icons?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Edit: All downloads are now being release in the 2nd Post
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
You would have to modify the zip file to remove the SystemUI.apk folder, resides under vrtheme/system/priv-app
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drbveb88:
Hey Deuce... you get "failed " if you try to text more than 160 characters. 159 goes through fine. Im on a clean flash with no mods.

Edit... and i will gladly test any fixes you conjur up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Lindsey:
How do you feel about adding the S5 Email and Calendar
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suptt14:
I am as well
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
The reason I don't add more S5 mods is for the fact that a lot of people like to theme their devices. The more I add that wasn't meant for the Note 3 the less theming can be done...and I don't have a dedicated person that does theming for me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drbveb88:
Going above and beyong for us users. I can't express thank you enough!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Appreciate it...

I didn't catch the Messaging mishap because I use Hangouts for all of my messaging ;)

Be a little bit, gotta go mow the lawn real quick :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Lindsey:
I really appreciate your hard work this Rom is buttery smooth with lots of customizations
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phillymade:
I just finished mine, if I knew, I would have done your's. ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Okay, I tested messaging using my V3 xml edits and it worked just fine. I texted my wife something that was over 400 characters and it went through right away. NOW going to do the lawn, be back soon;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'm not having issues with sending over 160 characters but I'm using the Messaging app (8sms) rather than the stock TW app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
Something that is bugging me is when I connect to WiFi I get the connected to xoxo network notification in the status bar. I didn't get that on V3.

I have the option checked in Wanam to not show it, but it does.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
You can remove it in settings > WiFi > hit menu > then advanced and uncheck "WiFi notifications".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
Good grief. I feel dumb. Not sure how I missed that. Thank you much!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fireproof1905:
Deuce did you have a chance to upload the zip for the icons on the notification bar? More stock look
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Trying to get a few things done right now. I'm going to post everything this afternoon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fireproof1905:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Take your time, it's the weekend, enjoy it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Man, if you only knew...my wife is pregnant and on bed rest. Which means I'm the butler for the next month :) I start working on the computer and all of a sudden she needs something. It's all good though, I enjoy all this and she knows it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Then definitely take your time, anything that needs to be fixed is minor and can wait. Don't worry about removing the CPU usage either, I found a nice app that puts the date right in the status bar and notification panel, pressing it takes me right to the calendar.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ravenseb:
Just was about to flash version 4..but I'll wait for the update
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:

Where ccould I find this app ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bjtcars:
I would like to know as well looks great.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Okay, V4.5 is up. I would recommend clearing cache and data (if available) for Contacts and Contacts Storage before flashing, this should ensure you don't get the acore error. If there are any issues please let me know.

All Flashable extras are on Page 50 in Post #495 HERE

Please let me know if there are any other requests for flashable add-ons
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Here yes go, it's really nice, you can customize everything then it creates an apk that installs the actual date.

I recommend flashing on a full charge or go through 2 full cycles until you get a feel of how your battery performance is
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
So if I don't have any real complaints with 4.0 should I upgrade? Was this more bug fixes?

Rather can I dirty flash this? I seem to barely get through a battery cycle and you've gone and created something new. :)

Does the V3 dark framework work v4.5 ? Reason I ask is, I had restored I thought stock V3 .So I flashed the dark framework , but got Immediate flickering and so I thought maybe it was v4 I had restored

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] herrdrjonz:
Possible to go from v3 to v4.5 dirty? Or is another wipe a must? Restoring all my apps just seems to take forever.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
You can dirty flash any rom any versions, just don't complain of 'bugs'. In my experience even the devs that put out sage dirty flashes, people experience Little bugs here and there. If you use TB and backup a launcher, it takes 5 mins to setup a new install.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
You are so right, and with that said I think I'll be upgrading to 4.5 just so I'm on the latest version. 4.0 was working great though, just for the record.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] herrdrjonz:
How do you get it to go so quickly? If I do 112 apps, it seems to take way longer than 5 minutes. I just found that TB does accounts so I guess I can try that to speed things as well; that's always been very slow to go type all my usernames and passwords in again for accounts.

I assume you say no when signing into Google to sync apps so you don't wait to pull them all down again. Any other tips?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
I only have 60ish apps I back up with TB. Maybe literally is 10min setup. But it's definitely really fast.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Curious to know which modem/baseband everyone is using...MJE, NC2, or NC4? I've used all of them, in my area I still get the best results with MJE

I am currently trying mi9, think I will go back to MJE though. NC2 was horrible and MJE was slightly better than NC4.

Thnx much for the hard work. I'm going through all parts of the rom to see if it works with my phone. Before yours, all of the KK roms have had some major component that didn't work correctly (on my phone). I've only run into one major bug so far. I could not use the voice command functions because it would force close repeatedly with a message saying Ggl text to speech had stopped. I tried clearing cache and dalvic, clearing updates and only got it to work when I uninstalled the google tts with titanium. I do have the black chrome pack installed and that looks to be one of the items that is themed. All I have left to check out is the gps, after that I'll send you a little paypal love.

PS-don't see many Detroit addresses on hear. Went to school at THE U of M and def miss northern people, but not the snow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'm not advising others to do it but I dirty flashed 4.5 over 4 and haven't had any issues at all today. I usually clean flash but I was in a hurry this morning so I gave it a shot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bjtcars:
I also dirty flashed figuring if I had any problems I would just clean flash but its running great.

I went from MJE to NC2 to NC4 and now back to MJE. Just a better signal here in the Boston area with MJE. You always want the newest thinking its better but not in this case (for me anyway).

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] deuce_biggins:
Google TTS worked in the past for me so I didn't even think about testing it before pushing the new build. I should have, given the fact that I updated it to the latest version, my bad. I still haven't used it, I will take a look at it later. I love how you capitalized "THE"...U of M...funny.
