[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TheDriller:
Xposed is very bad indeed. Rooting is one thing. We have a trusted app that manages all root requests. If the app was not installed root would still work, but all requests for root would be allowed. As you can imagine this opens up doors and avenues for all kinds of hell.

Now, on to xposed.

This works by hijacking app process which basically is the run time for android. It also installs a bridge to allow free access to all methods in all jars and apks. This is unregulated and a shady module dev can place hooks to methods in secured apps like your bank app, your contacts app, whatever he wants. He could also install a key logger or a backdoor and you would never know. There is one root request and it's granted because you want the mod. But since this doesn't need to be declared in the manifest, you'll never see the permission. Since root is only granted for the app to run, once it hooks the method, well, you can figure it out from there. Not only that, but because app process is hijacked you could potentially grab something from browsing the web, it doesn't need to be just a module.

Think of xposed like root with no superuser app to regulate the requests. It's very bad.

Also there is the performance aspect of it. Your phone will lag and things will not feel as snappy as they will without xposed. It's the same reason. The modules hook methods and replace them. Sometimes the methods have dependencies and when completely replaced causes things to be screwy. Or maybe a dependency somewhere else needs code in the replaced method. Then you get all kinds of **** because it can't find the code it needs. I could go on for hours about this. But I'm going to bed. It's 8:13 in Saudi Arabia, and I'm on rig move right now.

I would say use the HW key remapping. I double click home for torch. Triple click when screen is off if you have the wake phone with home press enabled. Much faster and easier to turn torch on and off. You don't even have to look at the phone.

I'll give sparx the Tethering mod so you won't have to use xposed for that either. It's simple and maybe he will include it in the next update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pyraxiate:
Tethering and flashlight were the main 2 reasons I've always used xposed. I'll remove the link. I was unaware it could hook into secure apps. Per app dpi is nice as well and it allows you to force not only resolution, but orientation for a specific app as well.

I hadn't thought of the screen off hardware mapping. Im going to give that a shot and see how that works for me :) All mods I've used are from long standing devs.

I'm very specific when it comes to running mods /apps. There has been zero slowdown as a result though although I'm sure some mods can and will slow things down. If you can have tether bypass built in, I can deal with not having per app dpi settings. :)

Thanks again !

One handed

Can someone explain how to make the one hand from bloat and how to install.... Should I install using rom customizer or copy and paste... Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rtbear:
Copy the folder with the apk into the app or privapp folder (same one that it's in in the bloat folder), set permissions, and restart your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dakemin22:
Thanks got it working...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JamesEh408:
Can you give some more details or examples?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dakemin22:
Im still learning the rom but lets say i titanium restore my apps after I reset the phone sometimes i get all the heads up notifications after restoring and sometimes I dont. I checked the apps to make sure the notification is coming though and there all checked but when i actually go into the app like what's app or a game i have a message that's there that never got pushed through.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JamesEh408:
That is odd. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? From my experience TB sometimes make the apps funky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dakemin22:
Yeah i uninstall one app to to test it and downloaded from playstore and still the messages want come through. There on the app im just not getting notified that the app has a new message.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gangpe:
This has been one of the hardest things for me to figure out too. I tried using stock roms to see if they have better heads up notifications, but it turns out they don't. My suggestion is using an app in the play store if you really have to have heads up notifications. There are a few good ones out there. After a whole though, some notifications get annoying. That's just me though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jhfreeze:
I have a solution. This has been the best heads up notification app I've ever seen. Its called floatify and is in the play store. You can change which apps gets heads up, color, font, size, shape, opacity, and many more. It gets system wide notification privileges so it will always work with all apps. You can even add reply or other direct actions to them as well. I thought I missed KK exposed heads up til I found this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Try settings>notification panel, there's a new app notification jobbie enabled there...have a tinker and see if it helps

Hello - in the OP the following is CURRENTLY stated for v1.2.1:

Knox removed

Will activate knox 0x1

Thinking I do not want to trip the KNOX flag just yet as I just got a new phone, do any of the older versions (i.e. 1.2 or before) not do this functionality, or will all versions trip KNOX once flashed and installed?

I appreciate your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] J. Terrell:
Flashing ANY custom rom will trip your knox counter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atconway:
Yes sorry - I should have mentioned I am using Safestrap for flashing on my SN-N900A to isolate KNOX and keep the flag at 0x0 on my phone. To keep my question focused to this thread, I was just curious if there was something intrinsic about the newest version of this ROM (i.e. removing KNOX) that was not done in the previous version and would be better for me to use. I apologize if my questions have obvious answers; bit of a n00b on this front ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
If you flash this on an att device you won't have nfc and some other bits. We have exactly the same rom for your device in the att section [MENTION=4469503]TheDriller[/MENTION] could help you more...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] khanam:
Man, this rom rocks but the memory leaks in lollipop (thank you Google Android team) is horrible!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jhfreeze:
I use xposed with the "memory leak fix' module.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atconway:
This ROM did exactly what I hoped and the phone works perfectly. Thanks :D

One small question - how can I disable 'Scrolling Wallpaper'? Under Alliance Settings -> General -> Launcher -> TW Launcher Scrolling Wallpaper the option is deselected and states, "Scrolling Wallpaper Off.' However, from the main screen as I swipe across screens I can see my static image I have set for the background still scrolling. Unfortunately it leaves black bars vertically on the edges of the screen as I continue to scroll.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can disable the scrolling background, and allow it to just show my static image on the background when swiping. TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] khanam:
Whoa there is a memory leak fix module? I didn't flag exposed yet but I guess I note have to! Thank you dude!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
This ROM had the memory leak fixed waaaaay before xposed :p

So I figured out that either Xposed or Wanam didn't agree with this rom, I tried a re-install which got rid of the xposed hooks and it was fine, until I added Xposed back. Hopefully my logcat will point out what isn't playing nice.

Thread is quiet. Guess nobody has issues. I had a random issue when trying this Rom. I live in a very poor signal area so use WiFi calling exclusively at home. I get errors on some WiFi networks but not all. The most important is home WiFi calling gets an error when trying to turn on WiFi calling. Can't use phone at home. Same on any T-Mo lollipop rom. I've gone back to Android 4.4 and it works on all WiFi networks including home. Any idea what changed in WiFi calling in lollipop that gives errors on just some networks? Really wish I could come back but need WiFi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] booogermonkey:
Never had the issue. I don't use it a lot but it works when I do. Using lk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jhfreeze:
I've had similar errors but toggling off and on wifi calling and or wifi toggle eventually makes it stick for me, or a reboot, and the errors are not that regular. I have had it happen on kk too though. I also use wifi calling almost exclusively. Are you on latest baseband? If your back on 4.4 are you still on OB6 basband? I've had certain kernels work better than others too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] friedCELLS:
I'm on NK3 baseband. Wifi calling never worked on my home wifi on lollipop and I did try all the toggling stuff. Worked at other places though. But a few other places had the same problem. Not 1 problem on KK anywhere though. Maybe was a kernel but always used Lean. I had updated to latest LP baseband when I was on it and reverted to NK3 when I switched back to KK as NK3 always seemed good for me. When I was on LP, everything else was flawless. Just the WiFi calling error. It was some code in red but forgot the code. I'd looked it up and apparently needed a SIM update pushed from T-Mo. Did that but still didn't work. Had no choice but to abandon LP. Been on 2 KK Roms with different kernels and it just always works :confused: But miss the fluidity and speed of LP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jeizze:
Not sure why my calls keep hanging up as soon as I dial the call ends
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] khanam:
Try upgrading the baseband back to lp, I am certain lp roms don't work quite as well on kk firmware.

However.... my experience has been that Lollipop is absolutely way worse than kitkat in stability, reliability, memory leaks, battery life etc. Not even close. Lollipop is probably the worst android base in recent memory.

I'm an extremely heavy user - and the battery life, sluggishness, screen redraws etc I encounter in lp is far worse irrespective of the lp rom I use than a kk rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _Ascetic:
Tried changing the battery options under Alliance Control -> Statusbar -> Battery .. Doesn't seem like anything moves regardless of what option I choose.. I want the center-mirrored battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Center mirrored is battery bar...are you restarting ui after making your battery choice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _Ascetic:
No matter what option I choose in the battery menu tab, nothing moves. I have restarted the UI too. While I have your attention, what do I do about the video recording issue? I try to record, get an error message then the whole phone reboots :/.

I was running no modifications when i got my resets, but since then I have switched to leankernel to see if i get different results.

Can a few others run a test with me? Click this link for a gfycat video. I've noticed for all gfycat videos, usually on the 2nd or 3rd playback, I get really bad screen tearing. (Play it in Chrome browser)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _Ascetic:
I can confirm that I got screen tearing on other videos in chrome browser after awhile. I reflashed everything. Full wipe + Internal 5 times then reflashed the rom, let it set 10 mins as usual then set it up. Opened up the Camera app and boom samething. I really like the way this rom is set up but I can't deal with all the video issues :/.. KitKat feels like an old power pc to me lol.. Really want to figure this out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Weird...camera is stock outta the box Sammy issue...

Can those with issues try a third party from play store and report back please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TheDriller:
Pretty sure this is exactly the same thing people said about kit kat when we were transitioning from Jelly Bean. And same from ICS to JB. And no this is not the worst base in recent memory.

I'm fairly certain that Froyo has that title.

I remember having some issues with finding how to logon. Most roms have that do you want to login to Samsung thing during the setup. I'm almost positive I did it this way, pretty sure I would remember dealing with the my apps section on playstore. I do remember using tibu for some things like adaway.....sorry bro my short term is shot:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Also, MyBackup is a decent tool for backing up apps, contacts etc - I get zero issues when using it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pyrilium:
FWIW I think people have had good luck with the adb backup/restore functionality lately as well - although I haven't used it myself, there's actually a new recovery that's using it and I would expect good results for backup/restore to the same ROM. I've had mixed results with Ti over the years, but mostly find it to work well provided you're backing up and restoring across similar bases and you're not trying to do much system stuff.

Finally, the native Google cloud backup/restore generally works pretty well for apps, although I've found that it sometimes/often fails to restore things like credentials (which Ti does get). For getting back to a set of previously installed things though, it's pretty good provided you set it up on first install and then let it do its thing.
