I am trying to finish phone setup, its a Note 3 unlocked from att and rooted. Kept having touchwiz problems and found this great launcher but it keeps crashing when trying to add widgets like a clock or sound/mute and others. When I add a widget it comes up 'nova launcher stopped working' and any earlier widgets added are corrupted or messed up.

Really want to stay with Nova prime as the grid setups are very good. Thanks for any reply.

Black screen and vertical lines

Hello

I have tried to use your rom. I flashed it how you said but when i try to turn on a black screen with some kind of vertical lines appear.

Then i saw a post of yours saying to just flash system.img and boot patched to solve it. But it is still the same.

I can't go to recovery and don't have phone. How can i solve this problem?

Thank you in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrammy:
You have probably flashed the wrong one :(

Make sure you select the correct version for your phone. MTK6582 or MTK6589.

The phone can report false CPU info as said in OP.

If you flashed mtk6589 then try mtk6582 instead or the other way around. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timunas:
When i try the MTK6582 the spflash tools give an error

BROM Error: S_CHIP_TYPE_NOT_MATCH

And other is I can flash many roms with the spflash tools. But the mtkdroid tools do not detect the phone. It is always doing the sound of an input usb pen and output after seconds
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrammy:
Hi,

There are many many models of this phone and that’s why I said in the OP to be sure to check your phone very carefully before flashing with this ROM. :rolleyes:

If you did not make a backup first then You will just have to search and flash until you find one that works for you.

You could try these Here http://www.needrom.com/category/star/u9501/

Regards bigrammy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timunas:
I managed to make it work with the mtkdroid and the model that is showed is MT6589. So i did it right.

I already flashed that rom and blackscreen still occurs :(

I hear the sound of the rom playing but just black screen appears, maybe the problem is in lcd driver?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmilm:
Noob here MT6582 question.

Hi recently joined and have been reading lots of threads here. Great forum .....

Will no doubt read a few times before I fully understand.

Ok got myself an alps W500 MTK6582 device which from reading here is the same rom as a Star S9500 mtk6582.

Have I got that correct?

Also is there an android 4.4 rom for this device? Thanks

I have managed to fully backup my phone using DroidTools following excellent info on here.

I find them great little almost disposable phones for the price, just find the preloaded android rom is a bit shabby and buggy imho

Thanks for any info advice.
[LG G Watch R] Acturbo:
Ok guys I've checked all my settings and for the life of me can't figure this out. Everytime I use the text feature from the watch it seems to work ok(tells me text sent etc.), if I go to the phone it appears as if everything is ok(shows text being sent from messaging app), but no one receives the text. If I go back to the messaging app and manually type it from the phone it works fine. Cant figure this one out any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.......

Idk about on Google not working but the only way I can respond from the watch is I use Google messenger. On stock messaging app on my G3 to reply it tries to make me open on phone. Maybe try the same and see if it makes a difference?
[LG G Watch R] Saknice20:
You have to use google hangouts as your default text program or it won't work. Had same issue.
[LG G Watch R] Piercing Heavens:
I enabled hangouts as my default and also made sure I enabled sms and it still doesn't work. The message is listed in my app but is never received by the recipient.

Also tried the Samsung default messages app as the default in Google now and it didn't work.

I think I'm the only person with this issue.
[LG G Watch R] Piercing Heavens:
This fixed it for me.

Hello everyone. I have a note 3 from verizon and from what I've ready, Samsung has a way of knowing when you root your phone thanks to the Knox counter. I understand people have ways around it, but frankly, I understand why Samsung does it and don't mind losing my warranty.

I do wonder this though: does the insurance cover a bricked phone from root?

Also, if I do root, can I get stock Android 5.0?

And lastly, there's so many sites that claim to know how to root a note 3, but a lot of them don't seem legit. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you! :)

Hi,

Im new to Samsung devices and I have a very simple question.

Does tripping KNOX void my warranty?

The reason I ask this is because everytime I search the forum I see a different answer.

I am getting a new phone because I have a very bad lag issue. Sprint never even rebooted the phone. The only way to see it is tripped is to enter download mode. I would think if you sent your phone to Samsung they would check, not so much with sprint though.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhill110:
I ran across a thread in t mobiles note forum. A couple of folks got repairs with it tripped. A couple more said they got thier phones back with knox bit reset.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
With the arrival of a new "batch" of Developer Edition Note 4s delivered in the past couple days and the ones scheduled for delivery in the coming days, the opportunity for a proud owner of one of these devices to lock their bootloader inadvertedly is high. I know the following warnings/information can be found in a number of different threads, but you have to look for them to find them. So here's several do's and don'ts for new Developer Edition Note 4s:

WARNING: MAKE SURE REACTIVATION LOCK IS NOT SELECTED UNDER YOU SECURITY SETTINGS IF YOU PLAN ON INSTALLING TWRP AND ROOT!!!

1) Never take an OTA update from Verizon. Samsung has never updated the firmware on their Developer Edition devices...never. The chance that Samsung will change their policy for the Note 4 is slim to none. Taking an OTA update will most likely lock your bootloader. Yes, if you have TWRP installed and rooted the update should fail if it automatically downloads and tries to self-install. The point is, when notified that there is a OTA update, don't take it.

2) Never flash a firmware file unless you know it has been approved and tested for the Developer Edition. Finding firmware for the Retail version of the Note is easy, finding firmware for the Developer Edition is, at this point in time, impossible. If you flash Retail firmware on your Developer Edition you will lock your bootloader.

3) There is only one ROM available and safe to flash for the Verizon Note 4 Developer Edition...one. That ROM can be found in the Android Development Section below. Flashing a ROM developed for a different carriers device usually produces less than desired results, don't do it.

4) Security Policy updates from the Play Store are safe to install if you want to, but are not necessary. Security updates from Verizon should be avoided.

I hope this helps some new Developer Edition users avoid a costly mistake. We already know of two Note 4 Developer Edition owners that have flashed Retail firmware and now have an expensive Retail model of the Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Good advice...although I would have hoped that people buying a DE would know better.

Slight update to point 3...FireKAT is coming to VZW. The developer is rebasing it for VZW and said it would be available by the end of the weekend. Be sure to thank and/or donate to him if anyone uses it as he may be our best path to Lollipop when it comes out for the Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
I've heard good things about FireKat, can't wait to try it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Romans8vs1:
Is there a thread somewhere to monitor FireKAT to Verizon progress?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
What is even the point of the dev edition then for the average XDA'er? Having an unlocked bootloaders main benefit is the ability to flash other custom roms. However, most phones with locked bootloaders usually use safestrap, but since the amount of people who own the dev edition is relatively small, it doesn't seem that beneficial. I debated for a long time getting a note 3 DE but decided against it. It seemed overall that it was a hassle and I refrained. The only reason I bought the N4 is simply I had an upgrade available and if I didn't, probably would have passed on that too. This way I can keep rotating my 4 lines, 1 with ULD, to get 2 upgrades per year?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
There are periodic references to it in the TMO N4 dev thread and I exchanged a couple of PMs with the dev related to another topic but it came up ...it will happen, we just need to be patient.

Update: FireKat should be available in a couple days per the dev. When it drops be sure to support him if you flash it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Yes, there aren't many (only one right now) ROMs available for the Note 4 Developer Edition. But, there are plenty of apps that require root that enable the user to customize, improve performance, improve battery life and perform functions that you can't do on a retail version. That is the primary reason I choose a Developer Edition. Another factor is the fact that I hate SafeStrap. So, if I was interested in flashing customized ROMs I don't want to do it with SafeStrap (that's assuming they ever get root for the retail version and if a version of SafeStrap comes available). Life is full of choices, you made yours and I made mine for different reasons. It's all good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
If root is ever achieved, many of the things mentioned can be done too.

But yeah, I never really liked SS either, just saying that it is an option, but my main point I guess is that the DE sort of splits the community a bit. Many people don't want to lose their UDP so buy unsubsidized anyways so the DE isn't a bad option. However, it just seems like these kind of things cause a lack of dev on one side or the other which is bad for the N4 community as a whole. That's what I was really getting at.

Yeah, I just bought an N4 actually though and am sort of let down this time coming from my N2. MW and the S-Pen I never really utilized with the N2 since I switched to an AOSP based rom as soon as they became available, but halo and floating window were nice too.

The only three features that really stand out to me are the camera, the display, and the fingerprint scanner.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
You are correct, if root is achieved many of the things I pointed out can be achieved. I also agree that two different versions of one phone can split the community. But in today's environment, it is getting harder and harder to even get root much less unlock bootloaders or get a version of SafeSTrap that will work. If that remains the status quo then I'm glad the development community at least has the Developer Edition to work on. I'm not a crack flasher but I do like the ability to run the five or six apps that I like that require root and have the option to flash a custom ROM if I want. Plus, I really like the ability to create my own debloated ROM by getting rid of all the Verizon, Samsung and even some of the Google crap they put on our phones. I can cut the size of the stock ROM by almost 50% by debloating and have all the functionality I want or use. It makes a noticeable difference in the speed and smoothness of the phone's functions and battery life. I guess I just hate to be like the iPhone community that is locked into what ever Apple thinks we need or want, LOL. But, that "freedom" is getting harder and harder to come by.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xxx42069:
Thanks for the heads up op.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
I'm in a similar boat myself, but the thing is I have 5 lines I can manipulate my upgrades with so buying subsidized is more of a benefit for me with all the current workarounds than shelling out 700. When I was going to get the N3, I xfer my upgrade and sold my note 3 retail to get the DE, but decided last minute not to do it. For some reason, the aesthetics of the N3 did not seem that appealing but the N4 is beautiful.

But yeah, I just think it is a sad state we are stuck in with VZW. The service is good, but the company is definitely somewhat crooked and incompetent. I had TMob, AT&T before, but the service and speeds never compared to what I got in my area with VZW. That's why I really want the N6 if there is an unlocked bootloader, as an added bonus the phones all seem to be the same SKU which means the user base and dev base will be huge.

And yes, 100% agree, not even having root now is very unappealing for no TiBU, and quite a few other apps I constantly use that require root, Repetitouch for example, bunch of xposed mods, and no custom DPI. I seriously cannot even think about using Chrome without adjustable DPI or the ability to block permissions.

Agreed again, iDevices main downfall is they didn't license out their OS. I don't have the numbers, but I know SS captured a big amount of their market, but if you add in the other Android phones I don't think iOS even comes close. Which was the only reason I ever had an iDevice, but I really missed the level of customization and that was coming from the OG Droid, haha.

So right now I am sort of stuck in this spot, either keep the N4, return it for an N6 when it comes to VZW or sell the N4 and get the device from the play store. From what i've played around with, the camera, display, and the fingerprint scanner make it a hard decision. Also I am so used to soft keys rather than capacitive buttons, feel like that eats up a lot of screen real estate. But I am pretty sure I am going to get the N6 and move away from SS, which is quite sad because I like their peripherals and overall devices.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MiuKing:
To be honest I don't know why everyone is so eager to jump ship to the Developer Edition note 4 when there is absolutely no development going on right now for it.

The vast majority of Galaxy Note 4 users are retail. Unless a vast majority of Developer Edition Phones are bought by the public I just don't know how there will be development for the device since there is no popularity. (ie no audience to develop for)

I mean sure.... you get root. You can debloat a little here and there but what matters most is getting your favorite rom that you want ported to your device.

Other than that. Developer edition doesn't look like a hoot right now, imo =/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
I can appreciate your position. Hey, the N6 is a great phone, go for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
you dont know that. tmobile kernels work fine. and as far as firekat coming it will be here tomorrow or later this week i have talked to dev about it already.

also stock rom debloated with tweaks and a kernel you dont need much more right now honestly. and i can tell you this GOOD LUCK with rooting the retail and you will NEVER get an unlocked bootloader
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
Hard to find... Really, hard to find.

It sort of pains me to jump boat though, as i've always had Samsung since a few years ago. Never really had TW on there for that long

And I can appreciate your sentiments too because a lot of the reasons you mentioned are some of the reasons I want to stick with the N4. There are way too many variables now in picking a phone IMO.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Kevins89notch:
I'm on my 3rd rooted device and yet to install a custom rom. I simply want root access, and the ability to have my phone be MINE! I don't want BS apps on my phone. I don't want the factory browser to have locked bookmarks. I don't want a camera telling me I can't use flash when I'm at 12% battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] trapperjohn:
Hi,

Besides the 3 things you found better than the N2, what about cell and wifi reception, is it better when compared to the N2?

Thank you,

Bryan
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
Cell reception is definitely better John.

WiFi is the same. I've never had a bad experience with WiFi.

My N2 for some reason lately was capped at around 80kb/s-100kb/s and I can't seem to get much higher than that. When I first got the phone it was 300+ almost all the time, but that could be because LTE wasn't as big back then or the updates they have done henceforht.

EDIT: When I say better, I mean a lot better. I sit in the same spot at my desk and with my N2 I was always constantly having to stand up to send a text or make a call. This phone I can do it practically while laying on the ground. So reception has improved drastically for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Poloasis:
Dude you miss the whole point of a DE Note 4, FREEDOM!!!!

I had a retail Note 4 before I got he DE. With the retail I felt trap, almost choking to a point. I couldn't immerse my self with it, and NOT HAVING Viper4Android was a NO NO. You have to hear the Note 4 with V4A with a pair of Sony MDR-1RTBT MK2. Coming from flashing almost a ROM per week on my note 3 and ending up with stock debloated TW version didn't feel bad at all and this where I'm at with the N4. I'm about to Flash AMSPilot debloated now and so far I'm good until FireKat.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrhale13:
What about updating for the oculus capabilities?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Not sure if this answers your question, but if you have a DE and are waiting for an OTA update to enable you to use the VR then you're probably going to have to wait for a developer to modify the OTA update so that it is safe to flash on a DE. The OTA update that has been released not only fixes for the VR but also has new modem and bootloader. A DE owner that somehow flashes that update will lock their bootloader. Keep in mind, Verizon and Samsung has never released an update for the Samsung Developer devices...never. I don't suspect they'll start with the Note 4 Developer Edition.
