Your an absolute legend thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] alienmaan:
Now this OP is amazing, Very helpful, Very humble and Amazing Rom. Thanks BongOfWar.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] znejk:
Hi. Really nice rom. Though I'm having troubles with videos freezing after 20 s in plex and in Samsung video player. Using the lean kernel. The Note 4 Camera also has a lot of issues with videorecording.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Ty for bringing this to my attention I will look into possible causes and see if I can sort it out
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] znejk:
To clarify the sound works but the image freezes. I think it has something to do with hardware decoding because using mxplayer with software decoding works. Other than that it's the first rom that got me to switch from CyanogenMod :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
This extra info helps ty,

Ty for taking the time to try the Rom

Is it possible do your tweaks and along side with Xposed framework? I loved Xposed because I could get more out of my phone such as removing annoying YouTube ads and so on and deep battery saver. Please could you put Xposed back in the next build? This is the reason I have not updated as of yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Good morning to all, developer of this amazing rom is it possible to add S Finder and Quick Connect to the custom system UI ? or add network speed and the battery mod on the Stock system UI? Please and Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Good day BongOfWar did you get the chance yet? Did u get to add s finder and quick connect to custom UI or you can add network meter and battery mod to stock UI. Please please I love this rom. I am on custom UI right now but miss S finder and quick connect.

New SystemUI

Just made a new SystemUI setup with both 3minit Quick launch & S Finder & Q Connect all on 1 panel with a toggle to remove it,

Screen shots below
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
BongOfWar Thanks again. Will u be including screen capture and torch in the power off menu ? What about the emergency alert that's on the note 3 will u be adding that too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Well the screen capture and torchlight have already been completed for the next update as well as a toggle to bypass email exchange security.

the emergency alert is on list to do but not really high priority atm...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Wow I would love to get ur new system UI , when will be up loading it BongOfWar?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
should not be to long, ATM just trying to see if i can find a way to switch the status bar clock position between Left, Centre, Right sides on the fly as well as a few other little things
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Ok thanks for sharing your hard work I really appreciate it . This is the best note 3 rom to date, please continue sharing your work This Rom will be my daily driver for a very long time. When u r ready u can upload your new system UI, will it be for custom UI or stock UI? Can I flash it over the custom UI?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
unless stated they will always be a full custom version just with the specified changes that will be listed in description,

You should have no problems flashing it over your current SystemUI as i include a line to wipe the systemUI cache so it should install cleanly

Edit :-- I will upload the new systemUI shortly i have to go run an errand and will upload it to the OTA App ASAP
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Ok understand
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Oriente:
Hello Bong.

First of all - Thank You for your work over that ROM.

I do not comment over someone's rom until I'll test it good.

So:

First of all - I did clean flash wiping everything and u found few bugs.

Aroma installer does not clean as it should. It should totally wipe memory before

Installing new rom. It did update over the last one so I had to wipe manually from twrp.

Next thing is that I'm missing device info. Each time I click on that - settings crashes.

Now the most annoying thing - security log agent appears over and over again on notification panel. I've just deleted it by some app from play store. S6 camera is still bugged coz slow motion and the other feature uses 64 bit architecture. U can apply modded version of note 3 stock camera. Those are things I managed to find using it for 3 days now. I love it anyway :) keep up good work.

Device: N9005 international snapdragon

Kernel: arter97

CSC: XEO
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Ty for bringing these issues to my attention i will look into them,

Yea the S6 camera is still buggy to the point i have added a warning to next update in aroma about issues ( may yet remove it fully )

I think i may know what is causing the Device Info crash and will hopefully have fixed next update,

The security log error i have never suffered in any form but am looking into possible cause

Ty for taking the time to try my Rom and bringing these issues to my attention ( Feedback keeps the project moving forward )

Bong
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Done

New Custom SystemUI is finished and uploaded to your OTA Update section

Yes BongOfWar it works perfectly Thanks a lot I love this last one more.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] muffintastic:
Bongo, did you get my REQ to merge Xposed with your tweaks also? I was gutted that you removed it from your latest update, this served well for what I needed it to do, such as block YouTube Ads lolz.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carlitobahsoun:
hi plz any infortmation about screen time on using this rom???? and what kernel ????
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shijiro33:
Bongofwar before anything else, thanks for this rom. I tried it after the reviews I've seen and how quickly u responded to their probs with the rom.

I've flashed ur work doing a clean install but my camera is buggy. Video recording to be exact. I tried the s6 then tried the note 3 but it crashes. How will I fix this? TIA
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
i did get your request and i have re-added the latest version of Xposed ( ATM ) to next update with a big warning lol...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
there may be some of the lib files or such left from the S6 camera depending on how you installed it over the S6 cam, i will try and right a script to clear this and install N3 cam again
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
screen time is generally good, there are multi kernels to select, i recommend the default selected one in the installer,
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shijiro33:
Thanks mate ima wait for that
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
BongOfWar ur next update looking good, I am definitely staying with this rom I love it, do u think u can drop safely assistance in the reboot menu? And how about password to turn off your phone in the reboot menu, but if u put back xpose then there will be module to enter password before you can turn off the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gaabryel:
I'm using your ROM for some time and I didn't saw any problems...till now. Great work. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shijiro33:
Bongofwar i need your help maye.. i tried flashing stock samsung firmware i downloaded in sammobile to try and sort my camera problems after i've flashed your rom. I tried it several times but it fails in odin and now im stuck saying i have to sort it out with kies... how can I sort it out?? Anyone??
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
OK few questions, what phone model are you using? ( sounds stupid I know but got to ask )

What firmware version did you download from sammobile?

What version of odin are you using?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shijiro33:
Right first off i have a note 3 n9005 version. I did download the lollipop version from UK i think it was BOA and tried it on odin 3.01 and 1.85.. when it finishes it says failed and wjen i turn my phone on, it shows a message prompting me to try again on kies. I cant get to recovery coz it shows the same message.. i don't know how to post the image here lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
firstly try this firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50080/N9005XXUGPOF3_N9005NEEGPOF3_NEE/

then this odin https://mega.co.nz/#!epshkJAa!y7pFS5-9RVhp4vDxTRAQARAwkjyQAB_9mDZWfXkLqko

once firmware is downloaded extract it once,

launch your odin in admin mode,

Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait to see if it completes
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shijiro33:
Thanks mate. I'll try it later. Hope this would do so i can enjoy ur work again. I'll have to stick with my note 2 for now smh
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Good day BongOfWar when will you release your next update?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:

Its up and released just been doing some major code cleaning and sorting over last couple of days,

I have still been doing bits on Blaizzr Rom and Blaizzr Rom is still my only maintained Rom so i will continue to update...

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
BongOfWar I am having problem with ota, it's force closing when I click on addon, anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Hi all sorry i have not been on the last couple of days my router fried itself and i had to order a new 1 from provider, Im back now,

I have not had any problems with the OTA app myself, You could try to un-install it and re-install it again from the market see if this sorts the issue..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sohail667:
it is more better if u make quick launch systemui without S Finder & Q Connect
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
there is already a version like that included in the rom

OTA Update app fix

+1 for updating the application. I was having the issues and updated the application. Now is fine.

Search 'OTA Updates' in play store and showed an update that fixed the crashing issues. Didnt come up in the automatic updates list for some reason though.

Can now see all Addons perfectly
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
yea it seemed to be a bug with the app iteself, some suffered from it some didn't,

Hi. What app did you use to delete it? It's driving me crazy constantly on abs I can't disable it. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdxcess:
Good morning bongofwar when will u release ur new updates ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Hi all sorry been so quiet last few days had my head buried deep in code, there will be an update soon although this will be a new rom with a few mods.

The reason for this being that it is sourced from new BOG4 firmware file ( always like to restart modding on new firmware to minimise errors )

but main reason is due to the fact that this rom has been completely done with Bongs Multi Kitchen for Linux, and as the Rom tools are still in development i thought it would be best to make sure the base firmware is stable before i do any mass modding. It will be usual deodexed, zipaligned, de-knoxed and i will add a few minor tweaks, 5 way reboot menu, 3minit batt mod that sort of east to fix thing.

Hope this is ok

The firmware is for china and there is a bug with wifi frequency for european mobile. Here there is a fix if you work on this...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BongOfWar:
Just thought I would let you know I won't be doing anything for a while due to the fact that one of my kids was messing with my pc keyboard, slipped of my seat in panic dragging the keyboard and half my pc system with it so as of at the moment I have no pc of any kind to do anything on

Welcome to the Kyocera DuraForce super thread

There isn't much information floating around for the DuraForce and I've created this thread to aggregate information as it's found so we have a single place for useful information, hacks, etc.

I'll keep the thread as up to date as possible and organize any information from future posts into the originals so people can find information easier.

There is a Lollipop update available for the device as of early February, 2016. I have found a way for users to update if the OTA fails (see below). I've also updated the below posts with information regarding the Lollipop update and moved the KitKat notes to another location (link for old notes is below)
[General Topics] kemonine96:
Ota - lmy47v1218_2217

For those who are having trouble applying a FOTA on the DuraForce, check /cache/fota/xyz_fotalog_123.dat It's a text file that contains a lot of really good info on what is going on during a FOTA. Including errors. Keep a look out for signature mismatch errors.

I had errors with the following files. Took me a few tries to get the OTA applied as each attempt resulted in one error.

Uninstall Xposed (moar hacks)

/system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl (disable PTT/Speaker buttons)

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml (sd card "fix")

If trying to address the issues manually does not work, follow the procedure below.

Download "vanilla" system image from HERE (link)

Extract zip file

Ensure at least 2Gb of storage is available for internal data

adb push mmcblk0p21_KVT49L_0617_0132 /storage/sdcard0/

adb shell

su

dd if=/storage/sdcard0/mmcblk0p21_KVT49L_0617_0132 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Reboot phone once it completes. It will take awhile and not report anything during the process.

After phone boots, run "adb reboot recovery"

Wipe data / factory reset

Wipe cache

Reboot

Run software update

Do you trust Kingo?

I'm THRILLED to hear you were able to root and freeze all the AT&T crapware. I can't wait to do the same. But how do you feel about Kingo? I'm almost leaning more to keeping the bloat, kind of the devil you know, you know?
[General Topics] kemonine96:
I've used it a few times over the last year and can only complain it does a sloppier job compared to SuperSU. Every pre-canned root wants to crap all over /system and none is better than the other so long as you get the su binary in a working state IMHO. I know Kingo is harder to clean up after than SuperSU / others but it's a hell of a lot easier to just use Kingo to root and cleanup after. Stacking root exploits and similar like Kingo is doing is a huge PITA and best left to those specializing in such things.

Fair enough, I was able to replace Kingo with SuperSU pretty easily:

Install SuperSU from Play Store

Run SuperSU and update su binary via "Normal" mode

Authorize SuperSU when Kingo prompts

Allow SuperSU to replace su binary

Freeze/Remove Kingo

Reboot and enjoy SuperSU

Optional: cleanup other Kingo remnants
[General Topics] tomzweifel:
Components to clean up?

Any chance you can steer me towards the "remnants" that need to be cleaned up and where to find them, just to make sure I get it all? I'm probably going to go though this exact process tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for the information!
[General Topics] kemonine96:
Unfortunately I don't have notes on what Kingo leaves around on /system... Some searching online or poking about /system should yield results.

np yeah i wished it was to lol... seems that my phone wont take the ota i did delete the bloatware....probably why it wont update u know how to force the ota or do u know where i can get the apks to reinstall them to update it... ty dan:confused:
[General Topics] kemonine96:
I managed to free up some time this weekend and I'm going to be pulling the OTA and seeing what I can do for re-packing it for those of us who are rooted and/or de-bloated.

Will post back with more info after I've had some time to poke at the OTA some.

Edit 1: Looks like this has patches for system and boot. /cache/delata looks like the directory where everything was downloaded. Hopefully binwalk and some other tools will yield useful information on what's contained within.

Edit 2: Looks like I was able to install the OTA despite being rooted. I'm waiting for 1st boot to verify root persisted and I'm also working on mirroring a number of partitions that can be used to "go back" to stock as well as images for updated partitions post-OTA.
[General Topics] kemonine96:
I managed to get a stock boot and system partition uploaded today that you should be able to use to restore the de-bloated apps. The image is here

You can use a Linux machine (or other methods) to extract the APKs and put them back or use busybox + dd to restore the contents of the partition (you may need to re-root if writing the partition using dd). There are some good guys on XDA and elsewhere on how to restore a partition image on an Android device.

Edit: The posted file is for an ATT device
[General Topics] kemonine96:
Good news everybody! The ATT OTA doesn't remove root and can be installed as-is provided you've not de-bloated the ROM or installed Xposed. If you've de-bloated (see below) you'll need to restore the missing bloatware and if you've installed Xposed, you'll need to uninstall it prior to applying the OTA.

In one of the early OP's there's a link to the "misc file mirror" that contains partition images for boot and system partitions. These are from an ATT device and can be used to restore back to a state that'll allow the OTA to apply.

Happy hacking and OTAing everyone.
