If it ain't broke...

Seriously, the first thing you should do when deciding if you should switch is look at the changelog. The entire changelog for NK3 is that they added Chinese language support. They didn't touch the moderns. If the changelog says that they improved call quality, added VoLTE, or improved Wi-Fi connectivity, that's the time to update. They adjusted the modem software.

[MENTION=4819587]kevp75[/MENTION] I keep getting weird hang time while trying to make a call from contacts or from messenger app it just hangs and then I need a battery pull but it keeps happening....crap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:
Experiencing a frustrating problem that hasn't happened UNTIL I flashed a mod yesterday, the full screen caller ID phone mod, and today anytime I receive a call, I get a 'Phone has stopped reaponding' (the jist of it, can't remember if that is exactly it, force close basically) message and I hit OK and it jast keeps popping up no matter how many times I hit OK, forcing me to do a battery pull.

My question is... how do I remove the .zip that I flashed??

I am pretty sure this is the problem since I have never had any issue before I flashed that. Please help!! I need it gone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chispas109:
As a flasher, I assume you made a backup prior to flashing any mods, did you did you or did you not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:
I did. Is that all I can do, restore my backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
There are 2 ways. One is to restore a backup nandroid in recovery and the other is to dirty flash DomPop v.4 over v.4 (my recommended choice of options). If those don't work then you'll have to start fresh.

Hey [MENTION=4819587]kevp75[/MENTION] I have a strange problem with Spotify. It lags endlessly on the rom but it works fine on my xperia which is running some kit kat by cynogen.

Any tips?

Besides that, the v4 ****ing rocks!

Thanks again. I know I'm being a pain again. :p

Also, my 4G is running slow on the rom too. Any ideas on what can I do to fix that?

I tried running the test on my other phone and it worked perfectly there.

[MENTION=4819587]kevp75[/MENTION] do you think something like this would work with Spotify fix too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
I don't get many calls, but both times I received a call they turned in to missed calls as soon as I answered them. I don't know if I'm just too slow at answering or if there was an actual problem. V.3.1 ran perfect for me. V.4 runs perfect also with no force closes on anything at all. Well... There was one other thing. I don't get any notices for Tapatalk at all now, and I'm running two versions at the same time. They both work perfectly on v.3.1 though, so I was wondering... Could it be because I used TiBu to restore them? Oh, just so you know, I am running my paid for version (4.5.2) that I use and the newest version just for posting screenshots. They don't interfere with each other. Even google play sees them as two separate apps.

I'm now getting notifications for both versions. Now it's time to turn off notifications for version 4.9.4 since I only use it to post pics lol.

Quick question. I am about to try to flash v4 again. I already have my TiBu backup from last time I flashed. Question is, everytime I want to backup, should I do a complete backup again or can I select one of these (I am attaching a screenshot) and just the modified/new user & system apps will be updated on top of my old? I don't mind doing a complete back up just to be safe, I just thought I would ask to know. If you guys could let me know what you think ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:

I am in a very remote location right now, our lakehouse, where I have Edge network, and we are working on setting up a wireless repeater with our neighbor whom we share an Internet bill with so forgive me the picture didn't attatch at first so I had to just quote myself and reply.

Backup new user apps and newer version. That will do it. I would also redo backups for modified data.

So no you do not need a complete backup everytime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:
Should I backup to the same folder? I have paid version so I can have multiple backups right? Sorry I knew the basics of TiBu, just trying to get a little better. If you could, would you screenshot for me?

You can set max backup history. But all the backups will be stored in same location unless you explicity go and change backup location.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fearbasel04:
I did I downloaded the rom and mods. Is it a mod that's doing it? As for exposed I understand
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:
Yeah I already have it set to my ext SD and have one or two folders with my backups dated. I know how to do that at least! Lol. If there's an easier way to do something, I am there. I'd rather just modify my current backup to grab the new & updated apps/data rather than sit through an entire backup. Since this is something I haven't tried before, I am still going to go ahead and do a full backup, as well as the new technique then try the new technique and if it fails I still have my full backup.

I appreciate your input! ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ramdesai:
Create new folder. Set that folder as backup location and I will recommend "back up all user apps" option to have backup of all apps that you installed. Then when you flash a rom, in Tibu set that folder as backup folder and using "restore all missing apps" option you will be able to restore the backed up apps.

It is so plainly talked about in the changelog. Tired of people asking so here, I am going to show you...

I am sorry you feel that you are tired of people not reading old change logs. Which is also hidden btw. Anyways thanks for pointing it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:
No.. I know how to do that. My initial question was do I need to do a full backup every time or can I just overwrite my old backup with the new or updated apps/data that I currently have.

Chsipas answered it for me. Tha ks though ☺
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ramdesai:
If your max backup history is set to 1 the whenever you take backup it will override the existing backup. But if backup history is greater than 1, then it will override oldest backup version for that app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danigraham:
The same question was asked a few posts before yours, that was not "hidden" and the answer, from the developer, was to read the first three posts. The LED question is asked almost every day. It has been answered in great detail and it has been answered by simply referring one back to the original 3 posts. And to say it is hidden is saying you just didn't bother clicking something to drop it down. And as you see now, OLD changelogs are important! Other threads really let people have it for not reading the OP. I am trying to help. There is a search feature that you could use in the future. Put in 'LED' and tons of answers come up pertaining to the LED feature.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
I do agree to a point that we are all here to help, but I also agree that it get tiresome answering the same questions over and over. Especially if the answer can be simply found by using the search function. Most questions that are asked have been answered numerous times, too many times in my opinion. I haven't seen one yet where I couldn't search the thread with a keyword and find an answer. This ROM has amazing troubleshooting support from many members, but even they get annoyed with answering the same questions many times over.

But on a "Different Note" <- see what I did there? Lol... I"M BAAAACK!!! I just got my new Note and I'm about jump back on this ship and see what I can do. I've missed this ROM and all the awesome people in our little family. :)

I did notice that some people had some problems after they flashed the Full Screen mod that I suggested. I guess I'll take responsibility for that, even though I did say it needed to be tested and I couldn't do it. That also goes back to not reading stuff thoroughly. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
There are really only 2 reasons I have seen for that. 1) You said yes to sending anonymous usage data to Samsung during setup and 2) You did not format data before wiping data. I don't know a third reason because everyone with the same issue as you so far have admitted to one of these two scenarios.

Yes. In twrp, in the wipe screen, there are three options. Advanced wipe, format data, and factory reset. The first step is to format data, then enter advanced wipe and wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data 3 times. Next comes the factory reset. Now you may install the rom, but DO NOT say yes to sending anonymous usage data to Samsung and DO NOT set up your Samsung account. Skip all Samsung stuff during setup. Once the rom is flashed, you have waited at least 5 minutes, and then rebooted your phone, you can go to settings, accounts, and set up your Samsung account. That is, if you like that sort of thing. Personally, I don't set up my Samsung account even then, but you can if you want to.

Thanks man and I'm so glad to be back! I was getting so sick of using my Nexus 6. I'm about to root, install TWRP and all that jazz and flash v.4, then go from there.

The rom is running perfectly for me. With kev's rom, and Bruno saa's camera mod, I actually feel like I truly have a Note 4. I'm soooo glad I didn't drop the cash for a Note 4 when I had the chance ?

On another "Note," I don't know how your coding skills are, but there are 2 mods many of us would eventually like to see. Full screen caller ID and a remap of the menu/recents/home button keys. I don't possess those skills any more because I took a different path after vb.net. I never learned c++ or java, only assembly, html, and vb.net, and that was years ago. I'd love to get into the coding game again but I can never find the time to begin learning them.

Sent from my DomPop Note 3/Note 4 Hybrid (Note 3 Hardware - Note 4 Firmware)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
I'm decent at coding, especially with c++ and Python, which you can pretty much get by with on anything that is Linux based. I'll work on the remapping first since it will be the easiest. It really doesn't require coding. You just have to change the key assignment for the key number with a text editor. I believe somewhere like "/system/usr/keylayout"

I'm not too sure on the Full Screen Caller ID though. May be able to compare what's in our system to the flashable mod, and change the values to what's needed. At least that way we know it's for our actual phone. I will definitely see what I can do. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
Awesome! The key remap is the one we want the most anyway. The full screen caller ID is merely a luxary we desire, but the key remap is what we really want and long for. Thank you ludeawakening ??
