What up TJ!

V8 with V8.3 update is amazing. I hear ya on that one, I never like the painstaking task of it either, but it is what it is. I have seen that thread float around and I cannot say that I have used it. It seems pretty easy to follow, but I am apprehensive.

8. Select backup and restore

9. Select advanced restore

are these the (2) steps you get lost on?

I must admit, it doesn't seem to correlate but again I haven't tried it.

When you go to "Install" you have to find the folder that your download is in. I set my default folder to be in the "Internal Storage" area, and then I move it to the EXTSD card. From SafeStrap, I tap the top where it defaults to "Internal Storage" and select "SD Storage", and from there I find my zip file easily.

Perhaps that is something you may want to do before installing the new release?

I make a back up of my ROMS, and store them in the EXTSD. I always utilize Stock Slot. I tried ROM Slots 1-4, and the only one that didn't drain or lag a whole lot was Slot 4 for me. It is still in best practice to use Stock Slot, seeing that Deuce states he will not support you if installed in any other slot.

What I would recommend is:

1) Store any downloads you may have onto your external sd card

2) Make a back up of the ROM you are currently running

3) Wipe and clear Stock Slot

4) Attempt at following the directions in the thread you wanted to try initially for the restore of data

5) If you decide to just skip #4, then by all means, install that bad boy (V8) and go with it

Remember, always back up first, that way you have something to fall back on in the event of a mistake :cool:

Ttyl buddy!

Hey Shag,

I'm finally rockin the V8 and didn't waste a second flashin the 8.3, it's definately slicker and more streamlined. I did what you told me but didn't need to back up the v7 because it was still in downwloads in SS. That guide worked like a charm… (the steps are obviously referring to a different recovery), in steps 9-11 all I did in thread end when its said 'restore data' is uncheck cache and system and left data checked and swiped the button and in less than 2 minutes shazam!, I'm on the new rom at the point when I made the nandroid and no more bluetooth crash.

I think I'm going to post a thread on this, I know it will help alot of the ridiculously inexperienced like myself (in case you didn't pick up on that- haha). One weird thing I noticed is when I scroll all the way to the left from home, the gas buddy app opens up and the icon at the bottom (pictured) is horizontally split in 2- is yours like that? Anyway, thanks for your help!, so are you a developer and what's your name?

Hey TJ!

Ok that's the pull action, you'll disable it by holding down the menu and you will get the home screen options. From there you can choose to remove that action and you'll be squared away, and no I don't use the pull action. Glad to see you went with getting V8 going, it is a slick ROM. I want to thank you for verifying that those steps worked. I used them for my wife's S5 and she was set after 5 minutes. Saved me some time for sure!

I am not a developer, or anything remotely close to it lol. I watch threads, basically, and absorb all the info that I can. I test and apply them before I answer. I've been scoping XDA for a while, so all that I "know" is from sitting quietly on the sidelines and observing.

Sorry, I just saw this. I have not seen anyone mention this as a problem and I just tried it and it works. Have you checked your sound in the browser? Maybe try messing with viper, and see if maybe a setting got messed up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hey Carlos,

That screen is gone thanks bro! ya those rom steps are the bomb- I am going to revise it ands critique if for our pfone and recovery and post a thread.

I'm wondering if theres a way to change the dial pad on biggins? I have one dial pad in portrait and a different in landscape, the thing is the one in portait sucks- cant really see it and when I'm on a call and need to choose an option on the dial pad, a big white dial pad comes up and you can barely make out the numerals.

Do you have an Allshare cast dongle for the tv?..this phone mirrored on the tv is like UHD!

Catch you later,

TJ
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Hey TJ,

You could flash another theme and it will change the dial pad. There is a black and a blue themed one in the DB Mods, then Downloads Section, then Themes. The black dial pad you can check out here. The blue dial pad looks the same. However, if the problem persists it might be that you have it on "one handed operation".

I have Chromecast and I use Live Cast to mirror things that the Chromecast doesn't work with.

later!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Wow it was the one handed operation which you kinda need on this beast... I'll have to check out the themes to see if I can get a better one handed dial pad…

Thanks man

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hey Carlos,

Just a heads up for you- you may want to check you wife's phone, when I recently did the nandroid/ biggins update flash/ restore process, I didn't realize that a couple things were missing. While I was at work yesterday I got a call from someone who always leaves a vm, I keep all verizon apps in a folder on the home screen and when I went to look for it, my vm app was missing from the folder so I checked the all column in Application Manager and it wasn't there either so I've got to find it or find another. Also, I use the 'my magazine' and I noticed the 'here and now' was missing but I found the app but it says it's not installed. Anyway, if your wife is at all like my girlfriend, she'll be pulling her hair out when she can't find something...

Also, check this tips n tricks site pertaining to the N3- you probably know most of it know

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Morning TJ,

Thanks for the heads up. I got it working for her FINALLY, lol, I had wondered if everything had transferred over but didn't pay attention to those apps... I think you're on to something about redoing the instructions for our end and just posting it as an fyi when doing so. Saved a lot of time, but that one particular could be frustrating and to have it listed would def help others.

Anyway, time to get this Mundane Monday started!

I had the same thing happen to me I'm nc4 Ota I flashed nc2 that's how I was able to rom I rooted towel root everything was fine until today for over 2 weeks I am on jasmine went from 1.9 to 2.3.2 then dirty flashed 2.3.3 as I was told to do. And texting would not work couldn't receive or send but I had same issue with 2.3.2 1.9 was fine I installed busy box etc already

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

I went back to 2.3.2 backup because my backup to stock wouldn't boot went on Verizon screen and just stayed there like the original poster said. Not trying to hijack just need help. Plus the 2.3.3 was an update only 99mb
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
It's ok, I know you're not trying to hijack you just want answers and that's what XDA forums are about. My question(s) to you are this

1) 2.3.3 was a dirty flash update according to the ROM's dedicated forum. Did you dirty flash this ( have the 2.3.2 installed and just flashed 2.3.3 over it) or did you wipe 2.3.2 completely and flash 2.3.3?

2) When texting didn't work, did you try fixing the permissions in SafeStrap? Generally when you have any issue in the ROM, fixing permissions fixes them.

3) I always ask if you followed the OP steps accordingly to ensure that proper troubleshooting can be done thereafter.

I will take a look at your ROM's thread and see if I can find anything to help you, but please know that I do not use that ROM, I will only be utilizing general knowledge and anything I can find using the search bar in XDA in the proper ROM forum.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matsuyamakaze:
Yes I dirty flashed no sir I did not wipe by factory but did however wipe cache and drlvik . Thank you for the response. Yes I too utilized the search engine and found that I could change my modem and I have and to no avail did I reach any success. I did however flash another rom alliance and that did the trick. It fixed everything. I tested by messaging myself and before I would not receive a message for 2 to sometimes 10 minutes or not at all. Now it's instantaneous. I'm pleased that you all are such helpful people. I've been on forums for many years and never on any type of forum was I ever treated so respectfully and with such advice and help. I enjoy this forum very much so and wish to be a active member. I flashed nc4 out of curiosity and then mje I'm still on it and I must say I'll most Like change until I find a suitable obe. Thanks again. Oh and by the way I belive it was my fault and not the devs I take full responsibility that I belive I restored the wrong message app and data from the wrong backup to that particular rom. So it malfunctioned from my own doing. I apologize.

triangle away

How's it goin Carlos-

If you weren't aware, I figured I'd pass this on… I was reading up on why I could not mirror my tablet or phone to any of the tv's anymore with the all share cast dongle- I'm convinced the dongle wasn't support kitkat yet my girls s4 and my phone and tab did before he os ug. Anyway, this guy was saying to use triangle away to reset flash counter which didn't work so I'm going to try chromecast and live cast like you suggested. The weird thing I wanted to pass on was after I reset the flash counter and the phone has an additional battery icon, the time was in the middle all of which I was able to adjust but the strange thing it did was add a 'screen record' in my power button long press menu. I wasn't sure if some of the biggins stuff got restricted and triangle away undid this but anyway heres a pic.

So have you read up on the note 4?… I did a little and it seems besides a few enhanced features like image stablization on the cam, better graphics and processor, the note 4 dosen't have alot that the 3 does.

I also read that this new 5. os is supposed to be a big breakthrough in compared all the past.

Catch you later bro,

TJ
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Hey TJ!

Long time brother, how are things? I checked out the N4 at Best Buy and was impressed with the camera features but wasn't enough for me to spend the money. Biggins is a solid ROM and I can't see myself switching to a phone without any development so.

For the battery issue and the screen record, that's something you can change in dbMods. That or if you have any Xposed modules activated, there should be something under "phone mods" to remove that stuff if that's what you want. Some like it, some don't. The only thing I find useful is the Screenshot mod. I find myself using that a lot.

I have seen so many people want the 5.0 update and I have seen others wanting to roll back.... I guess the jury is still out on that one. I'll wait till Deuce has it incorporated into the ROM before I decide lol.

Talk to you later bro!

I have added the Blackjack to my collection, which currently includes the i-Mate JasJam (best device I've owned), the QTEK 8500, HTC Excalibur, many Blackberries (hate all of them) and now the Blackjack. I absolutely love this device and am trying to make it better, so here are my questions...

1. Has anybody figured out a way to delete emails with a single button press like the backspace/del key on a Blackberry?

2. Is there a way to set up a shortcut directly into Outlook email without first going into the messaging menu?

Thanks! Hope you had a great holiday!

Mark all read and Delete all cab

Here is a Microsoft's developers cab that does exactly that. I have had it installed on my HTC brander S620 from day 1 and it is a wonderful addittion.

You will find that once installing there are two new menu items in the right soft menu - MARK ALL AS READ and DELETE ALL

I found this one day on the web (sorry - can't remember where) when I was first making the switch from full windows mobile to smartphone. I was thrilled to find it so I downloaded immediatly and loved it.

Enjoy

PLEASE NOTE -- This is a CAB file attached not a zip. I was in a hurry and when it would not let me put up a cab I just renamed the extention. Make sure you download the file and then rename the file extention to .cab. Then drop on phone and install.

Thanks JMD0116! I'll give it a try.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonigox:
Hello, I recently got a OnePlus One via AliExpress. I love this phone so far, however, I noticed that even on vibrate mode, notifications always play sound (even though it clearly says "In vibrate mode, all notifications will vibrate regardless of individual app settings"). What could I do to make notifications vibrate when the phone is on vibrate mode?

Also, I noticed that whenever I go to Settings/Sound/Volumes and check the "Link ringtone & notifications volumes" then go to vibrate mode, go back to Settings/Sound/Volumes and uncheck it, the notifications volume slider is not to the very left, meaning that the notifications will play a sound even though on vibrate.

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 because well, it needed KitKat and Samsung is lame...

Now I am faced with the decision to root or not to root. My N5 is awesome it has Full support and is the raw experience I want, rooting would let me have a little more fun in the way of mods and tweaks, but all the problems everyone seems to be having is kinda putting me off so I guess I just need help.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Right. Root doesn't modify files that can cause an issue assuming you're doing it right. I'd highly recommend NOT using a toolkit and rooting yourself and unlocking the bootloader yourself, it assures nothing goes wrong and you get some experience.

rootSU's guide are a treasure trove of information, take a looksie.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
unlocking the bootloader lets you flash a custom recovery to flash things, it has nothing to do with root. you can flash any roms or kernels you want, without root. all root does is give you permission to change system files. and you would flash the root zip in your new recovery once you unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectrys:
So would unlocking the boot loader void the warranty?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
depending on who you bought it from, yes and no. but anyways, you can lock the bootloader after as well, easily. generally, google will still except warrenty if the bootloader is unlocked for any hardware issue. other companies will void the warrenty, including LG. but again, it can be relocked :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectrys:
So would unlocking allow me to do things like mods, such as rings and boot screens?

Sorry kinda new to boot loaders.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup. anything that needs to be flashed will go through your custom recovery, which needs an unlocked boitloader to get flashed onto your device. then youll use that recovery to flash things, and make backups.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
Unlocking the bootloader is a requirement in order to use a custom recovery. And most mods are installed by flashable zips in recovery. So yes kind of required.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
You have to unlock the boot loader in order to root. Personally at this time I would not root because of android L around the corner. With rooting, you can longer receive ota's. Yes it fun to tweak but if I were in your position I wouldn't....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not true. You can receive OTA's if rooted (read the OTA help-desk thread) However, what's the big deal about OTA's?

1) You can get a rooted rom flashed based on the latest build BEFORE you get the OTA

2) Much less to go wrong that way than with OTA.

I think too many people put too much importance in OTA updates. Its a poor method of delivery and not even quick
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Personally, I think that if you don't know how to update manually and are completely reliant on OTAs, then you shouldn't have root access in the first place because you don't know what you're doing.
