I make no tweaks to such things - sadly kernel concepts are far beyond my meager tinkering skill set.

This is rather perplexing, as I also make no edits/mods/etc that alter data connectivity (at least not knowingly) - I know such things exist, but I don't understand them and as such I tend to shy away from them. As such the elements related to data connectivity are identical to NF9 stock (the base I used to tinker on), and if the stock NF9 rom worked fine for you I am at a loss for how this would differ as those bits should all be the same. Beyond that, if it was something I had done unintentionally (such things do happen of course) the fact that you would be the first to mention it is also perplexing. Just out of curiosity I flashed back to NF9 stock this morning, ran some speedtests, then flashed back to my little mess and did the same - there is always variability in the results of course but over the span of 5 tests in each scenario there seemed to be little difference (unrelated side note - it seems TMo has been doing some work in my area, as I was getting some comparatively high speeds (in both scenarios as I said) from the last time I did such tests... which was maybe 2 or 3 months ago I believe).

I am unsure how to help with this - my gut says its something location/network dependent but you have presented evidence that suggests that not to be the case. My attempts at recreating the comparative difference you saw between unedited stock and my little mess yielded no noticeable differences, but they do in your case. I am at a loss regrettably. If I were you (disclaimer - this would be a hassle) I would go on a flashing binge comparing stock to this to other roms all in the same relatively small time range and running multiple speedtests (as that seems to be the metric of choice for assessing such things - are there better ones?) to see if some sort of pattern emerges. If it ends up that tweaked is noticeably slower after such things... well I dunno lol - there is a limit to how apples-to-apples things can be done, so I would try to assess fundamental differences between things at that point to try and distill some sort of pattern from the confusion.

I wish I had something more tangible to offer... but sadly I am not a real "dev" sort that has a more intimate understanding of the inner workings of network connectivity stuff. Keep me posted, and feel free to use this thread as a sounding board as you work through things if that is indeed the course you choose.

Also - kudos to the already-displayed level of thoroughness prior to bringing this up. It's nice to see the initiative to problem solve :)

Very strange then. I wonder if it was just a random app thing...? I suppose those sorts of things could happen. For what it's worth there wasn't anything I could see in the logs that would point the finger at the bobcat theme directly - I would just keep an eye on that app and see if it happens again in a similar scenario.

Yes, correct, he has. It's the same theme for Tweaked 3.95. They are from two different compatibilies, my guess. So for Tweaked 3.95, only download [MENTION=4930664]cerj[/MENTION]'s theme that is explicitly labeled as being for Tweaked 3.95.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
No, the Blu De Lucia that you see linked there I believe is for if you're sporting a AOSP / CM11 ROM. But for the much-better-than-CM11-rom-called-Tweaked - the proper Tweaked 3.95 compatible version of this same Blu De Lucia theme is here:

No, that's the CM11 theme link you asked for. That's the theme engine used by most AOSP Roms. He has a thread in the themes section if you look there for our device if you're interested in finding the theme compatible with Tweaked.

I know this isn't a theme thread but it pertains to the rom. I'm currently on the material L theme from wally. I downloaded the one you recommended (twice), drop and flash but the rom just sits at the boot animation, even left it sit for about 20 minutes. Can this not be flashed over top of wallys work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Ive notice quite a few problems when flashing over themes. unless youre mixing themes and dont mind leftovers, but as far as a clean looking flash over with no reminants of the prior theme, it most likely wont happen unless every element is being overwritten. (Ive mixed all the tweaked themes at some point)

Now for it not to boot, its been rare but ive seen it. Just dirty the tweaked rom to restore stock theme, and then custom theme.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Guess I'll wait, don't feel like dirty flashing, then reflash kernel, xposed and all other stuff. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mega Montana:
That seems to be a problem for some other users of that theme and has been reported to the Theme Dev who noted they are working on it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56911434&postcount=300 . Hopefully will be updated soon but I've used the Tweaked 3.9 version of the theme on 3.95 and it works fine for me. Not sure if there's still a link to it or not, in any case, I'm sure if you give it a couple days he'll have it fixed for 3.95.

Edit, sorry originally linked to the wrong post.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] carbon14c:
that has been my decided next plan of action. i'm going to start with a tweaked reflash just for kicks, then proceed back to stock again in as shortly a time period as i can manage - to avoid network variations like you suggested. i really appreciate your well-thought out response and genuine interest in the matter, i know these things have no meaningful impact on you and i appreciate your time that you devote to helping myself and other in the community :D:D:D

side note, been having trouble with this device from the get go lol. had no issues rooting stock nf9, flashed CWM from there, then cyanogen's latest at the time. loved it, amazing rom with the aosp type ui i'm used to on my nexus. realized the big difference between that rom, and touchwiz rom (no amazing camera functionality, no s-pen, etc) so i decided to try a TW rom. i believe i tried hyperdrive next. had a major issue with the lockscreen settings, no matter what i did i could not get the phone to allow me a lock pattern, or any pattern that was not a high security type (pin/alphanumeric). so after trying 1 or 2 other roms (tweaked was last, liked it, especially with the AOSP theme) i decided i need to start fresh. attempted to get the stock firmware flashed via odin. device bricked, finally got it to flash, lost access to recovery, finally found a working 4.4.4 compatible TWRP that odin liked, flashed it, THEN decided to flash tweaked again. flashed tweaked, all is good and i can actually lock my phone. except for this network issue.

so as you can see, there is some history with this device.. sorry for the convoluted response lol. will try some re-flashes again and post results. i have a feeling my device is being picky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CZ Eddie:
dwitherell, are you going to be migrating to the Note 4? I'm seriously considering the move because ATT is $issing me off and TMO can give me an N4 for the same price I'm paying on my N3 with ATT right now.

But I have not seen any other ROM's that offer the option to remove quick settings toggles from the notification pulldown.

Is that a proprietary tweak of yours?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
I am unsure on the N4 still... though I should be deciding here before too long. Still debating between N4, Edge, and Nexus6 honestly. That being said I've been lending a hand here or there in some N4 threads just for funsies :)

I have no clue if I was the first to hammer it out (I highly doubt that to be the case), but I know it exists on other roms. I don't believe it's done the same way, but that's half the fun of it all really - tons of paths to reach a similar destination and all :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JONGAR1357:
Serious data issue. Data is ridiculous slow. I've tried hyperdrive Rom, jamals s5 Rom and gooh s5/n4 Rom and data is good but came back to this Rom bkuz is just super smooth but data issue gets me frustrated. Anyone have a fix for this? I've tried different apn addresses and nothing seems to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Ok theres two now. I'll need to know some more details to (hopefully) better understand, as I am unable to replicate the data slowdown. It would be nice if there was something common between the two instances as it might offer a clue or at least a starting point on investigating what is going on.

Carrier?

Kernel?

Mods?

Theme?

Clean flash?

Is it like that right away (before apps are installed/restored) or does it degenerate over time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JONGAR1357:
T-Mobile, lean kernel 3.12.3, no mods only xposed framework, no themes, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, system, factory reset 2x's,

It's right away....like when installing my apps from the play store, it goes 1 percent at a time until it reaches 100%, there's sometimes that it jumps percentage but still that size of the apps aren't big for it to be downloading that slow on lte network, YouTube constantly buffering, Netflix constantly buffering, instagram doesn't download the pictures, need to tap to view picture and I'm on T-Mobile LTE network. With the other roms I have no issues of this sort is just this rom in particularly and frankly this is the rom that I most enjoy and like. Is just that data issue :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] legmando33:
Yup same here. T-Mobile, stock kernel. No themes no mods no xposed. Clean flash as well. A lot slower than Cm11 nightlies.

I need to know too what beast you plan on getting next. God willing hoping the 5 is 64 bit or I'm definitely done with Samsung especially if other phones are 64 bit by then as expected
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
As this pertains to Tweaked 3.95......

I wrote extensively on that thread as to exactly what you're experiencing. I already experienced all those symptoms.

Only one way it works, no shortcuts:

1. WIPE UR PHONE! Completely wipe everything in TWRP. Flash Tweaked 3.95 WHOLE rom zip file. Having had Tweaked 3.9 then having flashed the miniupdate to 3.95 was broken. Flash the full Tweaked 3.95 ROM after a full, complete wipe. Do not underestimate me when I tell you this.

2. Make sure you choose the S5 mms in when preparing.

3. Flash Blu De Lucia Tweaked 3.95 theme. It works 100%. It's not broken.

It doesn't matter what anyone says, it's not broken. =)

Please allow me to humbly expound....EDGE IS CRAP! N6 has Exmor IMX214 sensor, not the newest IMX240 like the N4.

For the EXACT same amount in price difference you'd pay for the Edge up from the N4, you might as well invest that same dollar amount into the Samsung Gear VR virtual goggles instead and break even that way. Why? Because dollar for dollar, the Edge doesn't bring to the table revolution, the Edge only brings to the table "different". What you get, pound for pound, is just a novelty at this current moment.

When Note 1 came out, I didn't get it because it was 1st gen. Then I scooped up the next 3 model versions and still have them.

This iteration of Edge is gen #1. Pass this one up, brother. Get regular N4. The Gear, from virtually (pun intended) every reviewer who whoever tried it, has blown away people.

If neither is a popular choice, choose the lesser of two evils, sort of speak. N4 all day long!

TMO phone on ATT plan here.

Data was uber freakin slow for me too.

I ODIN'd back to stock (nf9 somthing) and data was still slow.

I ventured out into the wild of the night and data got CRAZY fast.

Weird stuff.

Dunno that it has anything at all to do with the ROM since an ODIN back to stock sets EVERYTHING back to stock. And I still had data issues.

I think there may be sun flares or something tonight. Affecting all and none.

My phone came from a complete wipe and fresh install, and when I mean compete wipe, the whole system/data/cache was formatted because I changed to f2fs file system. By wipe everything, Nah, I formatted everything, doesn't get any cleaner than that. Then I rebuilt everything on 3.95. Already chose s5 MMS at install.

I've been around the block a time or two. ;)

N4 is crap for an update. Nexus 6 devastates the n4 and the note 3 with some modding can almost catch the note 4. I've been playing with my nephews n4 for a week doing various things he's asked, rooting, etc, and I'm glad I didn't waste my money on that thing..

Okay, back to tweaked...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
You're correct on N6 modding freedom. However, the N4 camera is light years ahead of the N6; $700 - $750 better buy me more than just modding flexibilities. Any decent person shouldn't pay $700+ for a plain-jane vanilla Android phone with a Exmor IMX214 image sensor, or else I would have recommended it. I would also understand if I wanted N6 for flashing all kinds of ROMs, but truthfully I only need Tweaked. Once Tweaked hits ANY phone, flashing stops for me, man. Only flashing I would do is Xposed modules from that point onward. No other ROM has EEVVEERR touched my current N3, so I'm being honest when I say I'm exclusive to Tweaked. Therefore, a Tweaked N6 would feel the same as a Tweaked N4 (for me), except that I'll get to keep the camera superiority on the N4, "Super" AMOLED screen (which makes a different to a huge movie buff like me), etc. N5 was more mod-friendly than Note 3 but we still got the N3 for a reason. All Nexuses will always be more mod-friendly. I think anyone who gets a Note does so because they realize that the Note's signature claim-to-fame just can't be reproduceable anywhere. Anyone who does not understand that clearly does not use the S-Pen to a substantial degree (not just to a casual degree, but to a substantial degree). Keep in mind, no kind of "mods" can entirely recreate the awesomeness of the S-Pen and it's new features, etc, no matter how hard anyone tries. I can see many reasons why a Tweaked N6 has its advantages. But man.....not for the price they are asking. It's just not right.....a Nexus 6 is closer to the One Plus One and that phone, for sure, will have timely updates - for $350 max. So yeah, I have issues w/N6 price. My attempt here is to bring clarity for the still would-be buyers.

Ok, back to Tweaked.

Looks like Z-Man possibly solved the bootloop problem with the Blu De Lucia Tweaked theme

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56924954
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Advantages for me: I put +'s to indicate how significant it is for me.

Note 4: Camera ++, S-pen +, micro sd ++, Excellent Display +

Nexus 6: 2 Front facing external speakers + , bigger screen +, very big potential for rapid development (some of it would be catch up to Note 4 like features like floating windows). ++

Interms of hardware the two things I would really regret not having over extended time is the better camera and the micro sd on Note 4.

Interms of software side, the rapid developent on Nexus 6 would be missed.

Anyways, I'm leaning towards Note 4.

Ok. Sorry for diversion but if I might add, tweaked 3.95 has worked most excellently for me...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
I have to chime in and say that's not the only culprit, I believe. I always used stock default and no transparency and I still got the bootloop. Why is that? I tried different scenarios of flashing, always using stock opaque, still got boot loop animation. How come? This suggested that other anomalies took effect. For my testimony, my problem was flashing Tweaked 3.95 Blu De Lucia theme on a Tweaked 3.95 installation where I 1st had Tweaked 3.9 only and then flashed the miniupdate. Listen to me man....

1. I formatted/wiped/nuked my phone completely, every option possible in TWRP.

2. Then I flash the prep zip in one scenario with UNCHECKING all my options, another scenario on a fresh install I elected default options, etc....all opaque defaults, etc...

3. Then flashed main Tweaked ROM 3.9 only. Booted into phone, all was fine.

4. Flashed Blu De Lucia, all was fine.

5. Started the wipe/format/nuke process all over again....

6. Flashed prep (two scenarios, which means we're now our 3rd or 4th flash...) zip, then Tweaked 3.95.

7. Repeated all my steps when I last successfully flashes Blu De Lucia theme, except this time -prior to flashing BDL theme, I flashed Tweaked miniupdate of 3.95. Rebooted, verifier that 3.95 was installed, then went into TWRP and attempts to flash BDL theme - BOOT LOOP.

8. Wiped/formatted/nuked but this time I flashed Tweaked 3.95 main whole ROM with 3.95 already included. Then flashed the SAME BDL theme zip file - golden.

I explained this in detail over at BDL thread. I encourage we chat troubleshooting experiences over there, as a couple of us have experienced different scenarios. I'm happy to help the best way I can. =)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
Dang! Swappa! =) PM me how much a typical N4 runs for (or even a N6 for the matter).

Only thing I know for certain, in case anyone else is entertaining the idea of Swappa or Craigslist or eBay, is that you can't JUMP with those devices. T-Mobile told me I could not insure any outside device, either. So no insurance. I'd rather pay $25, $30/mo and then JUMP half a year later if I wanted to. Unless you're intending to keep the device like me, then it doesn't matter.

I do wonder one thing. If i originally had premium insurance on Note 2, then N3, then N4...would my premium insurance reattach itself to any prior purchased device I put my SIM card into so long as I had already purchased that device via the JUMP program? I'll call and find out.

I asked this very question the other day at a tmo store. Apparently jump attaches to the device only, not the sim. Additionally, if you add a device to your acct (while keeping the original one) you can not add jump for that device or move your existing jump to the new device. But you can buy premium insurance for the additional device.
