[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SinDx:
Hi there!

I just started using this ROM, very happy so far, it's my first Stock ROM on my Note 3 (got it a few months ago, went straight for an AOSP rom). I got tired of the constant reboots and half-working things so I decided to try this one out.

I do have one question though, what's the easiest way to remove (not just turn off), most of the Samsung/TMobile crapware? I appreciate the creator giving us the full package, but I don't need most of this stuff so I'd like to uninstall it.

Hey guys... I have duplicate files and they stem form

Anybody has a problem with scrapbook foreclosing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tdeljr:
Same here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
As soon as you open it or is there a particular thing it crashes on? It's working ok here.. it could be related to what is actually in the scrapbook. More info would be helpful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johnvicencio:
You can open scrapbook, but when you open a browser and do a scrapbook using your spen by drawing a circle on a page, it opens scrapbook. However, once you try to save it it forcloses.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tdeljr:
Only when I tried to share a photo from scrapbook to Facebook it would force close and not upload the photo.

Good feedback, thanks. I'll see what I can do about that.

The benefit is really negligible (it can debated all day) so we'll keep that debate to those particular threads. If it doesn't work, ask the script writer, they might be able to assist. I've done nothing to block Odexing.

Scrapbook FC Fix

It was a pain to track, but download and unzip View attachment 2770706 then copy libdmcMVFD.so to the system/lib folder using a root browser, set permissions to rw-r--r-- 0644. Restart and enjoy non FCing Scrapbook.

Hope to have a flashable zip for the not so tech savvy soon, need sleep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] peng1can:
Just wanted to say thanks and commend your approach to this ROM. I really like how you make the minimum required changes to the ROM and then let everything else be handled by xposed and a few well-known flashable (and removable!) zips. You can see just by watching bug resolution in this thread that this simple approach has paid off in how quickly glitches are found and fixed.

One tiny bit of a feedback: the next time you do a substantial update, I'd love to see a detailed/complete changelog somewhere. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like to know exactly what has been modified in the ROM (for example, I like knowing what's included in "speed tweaks and even more battery optimization").

After months of trying a variety of ROM's, the only other thing I'd love to see in this ROM that I can't resolve with an xposed module is the patch for t-mobile tethering. I'm sure Foxfi does a great job, but there's something to be said for just having the built-in stuff working. I know this is primarily useful for prepaid users, so maybe it's a limited audience.

Thanks again for a great ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tas350kts:
A little assistance, I did what you mentioned in your recommended. Extracted missing file from the orig rom, chopped it to the system/lib file via root browser. Exited, restarted the phone into recovery TWRP then fixed persimmons. After restart no change, still no rotation. Did I miss anything?

I uninstalled Samsung: Account, Apps, Widgets, Updater, Hub, Hub updater, watch on, watch on video, scrapbook.

Also I noticed when opening the camera defaults to landscape and remains that way, even after switching to other apps, you have to exit to the home screen.

Thanks in advance for the input
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] anhqn91:
Try fixing that file permission from root explorer/browser to rw-r-r then reboot. I didn't fix permission from twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tas350kts:
That was it, back in full rotation business.

Thanks for making that painless.

Stock ne6 kernel will drain you faster if your bootloader is still nb4 speaking from experience, also I noticed when I have bad drain its right after a flash anf I open trickster mod to check what my cpu is doing if I cant get it to drop to one core while watching it I do a battery pull wait a few minutes and reboot.

I am on stock ne6 and ne6 bootloader. Any recommended mods?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] peacewarrior:
i love how question are ignored...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mpodval:
Do you mean upgrading to NE6? Effortless posted an amazing how to guide in the general section, going above and beyond any developer.

I would highly recommend using that guide and not any other method. Flashing a new bootloader is a big deal. I for one had to wipe internal and external memory before flashing the rom with the new bootloader. So mobile Odin would be too cumbersome to use.

Hope this dissuades you from trying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] peacewarrior:
ive already tried mobile odin and its stuck at the odin mode... so since i dont have a computer access have to wait for my friend on tues to fix thru his comp. thats why i tried the mobile odin because i dont have pc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DriftorX:
I suggest not using mobile odin when it comes to doing a huge upgrade like that. Especially from say like NB4 to NE6. Its better to use a computer with odin to flash a full stock untouch rom .tar file and then doing the regular rooting and flashing recovery with it. After, you should be all good to use mobile odin in flashing other roms in the same base. Thats just me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Mobile Odin doesn't have the ability to flash the bootloader. It wouldn't be possible to update to full NE6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Did you check the option to reboot into download mode after flashing by mistake? If you flashed correctly, it should still boot.

Pull the battery, then put it back in and try to boot. See if it takes you to Odin mode or does it boot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SuperSmashedBro:
Loving this ROM! Great work. One problem I have though is that sometime screen time isn't shown under battery info/usage but it comes back after a reboot so it's no big deal

One question, will there be a torch toggle added in the future?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] peacewarrior:
so i did this the right way like you said and all is well. thanks for helping me and just for future refereence let people kn ow mobile odin is not the way to go at all... lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Mobile Odin Pro does not flash bootloaders. Your modem and system are probably NE6, but you should check your bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Torch doesn't exist in the way it used to anymore within the newer Note 3 ROMs, so as of right now, I don't have plans for it.

Wanam Xposed Torch works well for when the phone is off. Holding volume up will activate it.

I can't get 4 way reboot to work in Wanam. Everything else works within the app though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Did you install any other mods? It works for me and others here. It has to be something else you installed or possibly uninstalled.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Stock NE6 kernel should work fine. The only time you'll have a USB problem like that is if you try to use an older Kernel or one not based on NE6 correctly.

Also make sure your bootloader is updated to NE6 using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
When you say changed the mixerpaths.xml.. did you make the edits in the NE6 file yourself or did you download a mixerpaths.xml and overwrite the one you had?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] artistree:
I overwrote it using this tutorial and file http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635622
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
You shouldn't use a random Note 3 mixerpaths.xml file. They're device and rom specific. If you want to edit it to boost files, look up how to actually make those changes and then change it in the NE6 file. If you don't know how, I'll see if I can make the necessary changes once I finish the next revision of the rom (that's what I've been working on).

Download, unzip and copy this file back the same way you did the last one. Reboot and see if it fixes the problem. View attachment 2776300
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] artistree:
Okay I'll work on that, I didn't know that it mattered, I appreciate your assistance...so replacing this file will take it back to stock volume right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Yea, it'll be stock volume. It's not hard to edit, but I'm in the middle of editing some decompiled apks and need to focus. I'll get a modified one out to you soon. They change lines of code in the XML file for different things and each device has some different values for volume and how and where to move audio (it's a little more detailed than that).

The one you used was for the T-mobile NB4 update (I'm guessing), so it was missing things like lines for recording audio while on a phone call and some other stuff that I know of already. It's best to stick with files from the current software on your phone. So if you look for mods, make sure they are NE6 based.

Some devs will get lazy and copy files from older files and that causes issues. I will never do that and that's the reason it takes me a while to release some stuff ... that and I'm a one man team with a 4 month old, a 19 month old and a wife who hates that I'm up at 3 am :/

Anyway, back to work, but let me know if that fixes your problem... if not we'll try to figure it out.

Rev 5.2 Changes

Rev 5.2 Download

Changes:

Fixed Scrapbook crash/FC

S5 Lockscreen Wallpaper (change it to whatever you want)

Updated Video Player to S5

Updated SuperSU to 1.99R3

Updated boot animation to display only new Samsung (No more white T-mobile 4G)

International/Inverted- dark dialer, contacts, mms and multiwindow tray (credit and thanks to foreverloco)

Bluetooth and Unrestricted Tethering enabled

- just enable hotspot and you're ready to share (Devs, please ask before you "borrow" this for your NE6 ROM, it was painful implementing this the correct way and no one was willing to help)

Known Issues:

If you opt to use the S5 messaging app, clicking on "safe mode" within the settings will cause a crash/FC. For that reason, it's an optional install until I can get it working. It is however 100% usable and in fact will add pop up text notifications and priority senders to the many features of the stock Note 3 messaging app. (download this zip and flash it in TWRP to install).

It should be Ok to dirty flash (flash 5.2 over 5.1 and wipe cache and dalvik),

but if you do

, you must also go to menu, settings, more networks, mobile networks, access point names, click menu, and then click "Reset to default". The first entry should read T-Mobile Tethering and under it should now say fast.t-mobile.com.

Note:

DO NOT USE MODS OR KERNELS FROM OLD VERSIONS. THEY MUST BE MADE USING NE6 FILES/SOURCE!! I can't stress this enough as 80% of issues we've covered in this thread are due to using old files. They WILL cause issues!

Happy Flashing!
