Hello encho,

The work you're doing supporting the note 3 is downright phenomenal mate. Arguably, I'd say you're the flag bearer for aosp love for the note 3 ?

I was always wondering on how to start building roms like you do. I've gone through a few tutorials and they were always over my head and wasn't sure how relevant they would be in my quest. Could you possibly point me in the right direction mate? I d like to port an aosp ROM to our device, say maybe the omni ?

I am a doctor and hence I don't have a lot of time at hand but I'm more than happy to pursue this as a hobby. Perhaps, I could be your apprentice and you teach me your trade. Haha ?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

P.S. apologies for the off topic.

I want to try this rom.. just want to ask SOT on normal usage? Heavy?

also, do viper4android work in this rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Make a Nandroid of your current Rom and see - Yes Viper4A works - but you have to change Kernel to SEAlinux Permissive or install a script which can be found in the Viper4A threads

For the building part, go to CyanogenMod instructions, everything you need is there. For me it was more experimenting than anything else that helped me understand this. I suggest that you build pure CM rom first, then try to "port" it. It is all about setting proper file in local manifests folder, tweaks you can learn later. After that you can build (not port) other roms, by just changing files in device tree. I can help you with this if you need.

PS. Do not start with omni as it is not caf friendly, I have spent a lot of time trying to make it build before I realised it was not buildable for our device. It can be done, but not worth it imho, when we have Slim and PA.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that new build is up, as yesterday's build did not have proper time stamp (date of build), which is the only difference. Only did it so people would not complain. :)

[MENTION=2734070]encho[/MENTION] thanks for a slim release. It's running great. Still got a pretty big ghost usage of my battery, but I'm trying to tune it down.

2 questions for you or anyone else who knows the answer offcourse.

1. Are there any custom kernels which can be used without any problems with this slim release. I'm not sure how deep slim is inside the rom, or is the kernel used cm?

2. Could the ghost usage of my battery be found because of my lg urbane smartwatch (like energy hungry app)? I currently measure the ghost usage by the amount of 'diverse' battery usage (and the fact it's solely on top of the battery stats)....

Thanks for the great release so far. It's really fast, just the features I need and so responsive.....

After running the rom on my 2nd charge I can say the rom works awesome..

Getting great battery life!

I did notice the Notification LED wasn't working 100% with regards to Battery Life..

Hey guys,

I'm running Temasek's CM12.1 on my Note 3 which is an awesome ROM in all issues. Can anybody confirm that SlimLP is faster than Temasek?

Thanx
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:
Temasek´s kernel overclocks to 2.8 Ghz. So it will run faster.

Actually you will not be able tell the difference running day to day apps.

My experience is that slim is stable as a rock. It is my current daily driver.

Give Slim a try. You won´t regret.

LTE breaks but it sustains best on slimLP

OK hear me in on this one.

For a long time LTE just wasnt possible on my device. Be it the n9005 or n900w8.

WHenever I did manage to get LTE signal bar working(verifying it over app "LTE discovery") a reboot later would reset the EFS settings

to HSPA+ from my local provider.

(I would have to go back to TWRP to restore the rogers EFS and modem every single time to recover LTE signals)

steps on how i got it to work

1. flashed n900w8 with the "N900W8VLU2DOC4_OYADOC4_RWC_Canada_Rogers_5.0" tar.md5 odin package through AP(the lollipop stock rom)

2. root

3. install twrp

4. do a full wipe of system,data,cache partitions on twrp(leaving EFS and rogers modem intact)

5.install and boot slimLP(including slim zero gapps package)

6. configure APN settings-------> I get LTE

7.reboot

8.settings don't stick, rom reverts to HSPA+(online feels way slower too)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thetransitful:
How is the peformance and the battery life in this rom?? :o
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GingaB:
Noticed something odd. Qucik settings from the dropout doesn't stick. The icons move about randomly. Anybody else noticed that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] foxtaur:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New update:

So I GOT IT WORKING THIS TIME AND FINALLY FOUND THE CULPRIT

turns out you have to delete all other APN settings(minus the one your using) inorder to get LTE to function but there another

minor inconvenience, you have to go into your carrier signal settings( type *#*#4636#*#*) and select LTE/gsm(auto)

what happens is that every time you reboot phone the signal gets defaulted to WCDMA.

Encho, will there be a droplist in nearby future that will allow for selection of both WCDMA /GSM/LTE?

other roms have this
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
You mean tile?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] foxtaur:
yeah tile, my bad lol:D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] foxtaur:
noticed another odd thing, while testing out latest SlimLP on my htecan device I noticed when I shut off device entirely it displays the battery meter and then the screen starts flashing for no apparent reason continously especially if you have the powercord connected.(very noticeable in the dark)

I thought there was hardware issues with my device and it wasn't until I tried it with Euphoria OS that this bug wasn't there anymore.

NB = With SlimLP theres also a delay when turning on a device.I have to hold the power button for quite an extensive time

If you have a PC just flash TWRP using Odin. Just Google for instructions on how to do it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:

Battery life

Love this ROM but finding the battery life pretty bad. Charging the phone at least three times a day. And that's after letting the ROM settle for the last week!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
I had completely opposite experience, are you sure it is not Google services?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bourne220:
I've been running it with TK Gapps stock package as I prefer it with all the apps. And for some reason I keep getting some lag at times. I don't get how that's different to Slim Gapps package plus the Google apps from playstore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
It's not the apps, but Google services that runs in the background. It can drain battery very fast, depending on gapps and setup you're using. I suggest to have some kind of battery monitor to see what's causing it. It could be some misbehaving app even.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] HSD-Pilot:
Maybe check this out to get GPlay Service under control

Or try another GApps Package. I personally don't have any unusual Battery Drain and the Rom is running smooth since one week now.

slim rom having color temperature issues or time to get a new device?

Now I could be wrong but recently my device is getting the dreaded yellow tint on amoled displays. Going into settings and livedisplays from SlimLP and adjusting the display mode and color temperature tames it but comparing my first device to the second hlte one(which will be sent to my girlfriend) , it's definetly not as crispy nor bright. It's driving me insane but I know there is a huge difference in hue between them. And the brightness too to an extent.

My question to you encho is this. Is this normal to expect with note 3's?, Is this a software related problem? or should I go back to my carrier and exchange this awesome device, pay the difference for a note 4. It hurts soo much to abandon this precious toy.

NB = ughhh .........curses that my device is worse off than hers :( )

I by no means expect miracles, if it's a lemon, it's a lemon but I need to know what cause the yellow tint? Is it rom related?

I baby my devices. Could I alternatively get a new digitizer with LCD panel?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
Do you have Live Display or something else switched on in your display settings?

It shouldn't be rom related, I don't know anyone with such issues. But to be on the safe side (your phone might not like some rom settings), you should try flashing TW based rom and check if you still have the problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] foxtaur:
well I just found out, it's hardware related. damn it!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how hard its to replace the screen and digitizer?(I'd hate to loose my device)

I need a note 3 that runs band 4 (LTE band rogers and the big 3 canada uses, I believe thats the 1700 MHz freq)

which note 3 models use this and are regional unlocked too asides from the n900w8?

NB =After much research I got a n9005 UAE for my girlfriend who needs to use it in phillipines too which is why I got her a band 3 enabled phone so that globe telecom could run it.

Are you using different kernel to install xposed mate? The stock kernel is enforcing right?

There's no need for any Custom Kernel to use Xposed, just flash the Zip and use the Xposed apk to configure your Modules.

You should write a book with your secrets to manage time. I will certainly buy it. :)

It is called multitasking. [emoji41]

It doesn't take that much time. Kernel tweaking and cherry picking may take time, so I avoid them. For building ROMs I have established a method, prepared templates etc.

It could be. This is international version optimised. Try different kernel and see if that fixes it.

No, it needs TW ROM.

Nexus 9 wifi

This device has never been rooted or unlocked (I usually root and rom my devices but i decided to leave this alone since it is stock android). I frequently do a factory reset to keep my device fresh.

During this factory reset my Nexus 9 appeared to be frozen, for hours. I forced a reboot (pwr + vol down) and now the OS will not load.

I can only get into Fastboot and Hboot, thats it. I tried to download the factory images here (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) but it says the device is locked and it fails when i try to flash in Fastboot.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How's he going to toggle the "allow oem unlock" if he cant boot into android!! Im pretty sure this is a hard brick and is not recoverable. Unless the bootloader just needs unlocked, but if its never been unlocked before then he probably has never toggled that.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

If you have never unlocked the bootloader before, then you are pretty much stuck. In android settings, theres an option that has to be toggled on for you to be able to unlock the bootloader. But if you cant boot into android to toggle this, you cannot unlock the bootloader. Simple as that. People are going to keep referring you to links on how to unlock bootloader, how to flash factory images, etc.. But its simply not possible unless that setting has been toggled. Unfortunately you are going to have to either have it sent it for repair or replaced. Sorry about your misfortunes. But good luck!!
