Maybe more of a stock look lol. Its a few apps lighter than your SS system backup. I have made the backup of just the system and restored to test. Went thru setup and all still seems buttery smooth. I have added Shadow LED by [MENTION=4098343]CekMTL[/MENTION]. It uses the led indicator to show sd card both internal and external plus Wifi activity. I just have one issue and that when I put the file in init.d and set permissions correctly it's not running at boot. I have to use root explorer and navigate to /system/etc/init.d folder and run the file with root explorer's build in script handler. As soon as I get this figured out, double check a few things and test flash several times I'll package it all up and share. I'm no developer and this wouldn't be possible without your help and permission. I just know that there is really not a whole lot of development here for the n900a and this will just be another offering of "something different ".

Your correct [MENTION=4459374]macasus76[/MENTION] I tested and init.d is not working, I will get a fix soon to address the init.d and sdcard permissions fix , until then you can use attached apps
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ukic:
I installed this rom flawlessly, thanks carl1961. However, after making a backup from safestrap and rebooted system again, it won't start anymore. It will only bring me back to nc2 recovery. Any ideas?

EDIT: Ahhh ok. You need to flash SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer.zip every time u want to exit safestrap. Got it. But j/w is there a permanent solution to this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Namelesswonder:
You can fix the init.d support by changing the code at the end of init.qcom.post_boot.sh, remove run-parts and change the code so that the only thing at the end is

/system/etc/init.d/*

At that point you can reboot and check in /data/Test.log to see if it was successful, assuming you still have init.d script tester still inside the folder.

You can use FlashFire to flash stuff now, like any of the fixes or app adding flashables (I think it can also flash bootloaders and modems, but I am not entirely sure as I haven't used it for that). The only problem with it right now is that the app has a timebomb in it where it won't launch after 8/31/2015, so if you want to use it you'll have to set your date to before that or wait until ChainFire updates the app (he's on vacation right now so it may take a bit.). For the most part it is a competent alternative to a recovery, and it has the ability to use Aroma scripts and installers unlike SafeStrap.

P.S. If anyone wants to uninstall the NC2 Flasher app (because you use the reboot menu mod, or you don't need it) and it keeps appearing on reboots, then you can just delete it's folder in /data/app/ and it should no longer be appearing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ukic:
Thank you. I went ahead and check but I needed to join the community and without chainfire to approve, I can't download it anyway. Going to try and find an apk for it.

EDIT: Also noticed that photos posted on social media apps don't show. It's like the apps doesn't have write access to the internal card.

Thanks [MENTION=5689426]Namelesswonder[/MENTION] [MENTION=4510131]ukic[/MENTION]

Thanks for the fix @carl1961. I restored my nc2 backup earlier. After I saw your fix, I restored back to my oc2 backup. Noticed that baseband is still showing nc2. Flashed oc1 firmware and it says failed so I flashed oc2 firmware with success but still shows nc2 baseband. Any ideas?

Also here is ODIN OC1 firmware you can download and keep handy, install with Odin, when you come from NC2 to OC2

then you can install the recovery flashable OC2 firmware, you see the OC2 recovery installer is like OTA, it patches the OC1 firmware so if your firmware is NC2 then it will not do patch , I need to upload the NON patching OC1 firmware because it is whole files and not patches

Installed oc1 modem tar via odin then updated to oc2 firmware via safestrap successfully, thanks. I then installed the new sd fix patch and getting this error when I open quickpik > "not an error (code 0) could not open the database in read/write mode"

EDIT: Also app like Viber still can't load photos. I think it has something to do with that read/write mode error above.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
your base band shows OC2 and where can i get quikpik and Viber playstore? so I can test on my end QuickPik is a gallery app and Viber a messaging app

Edit Quick pik works, eve took a picture and played a video
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ukic:
Yeah both from playstore. Quickpic works but I get the error first time I open it. Viber also works. You just can't load or see photos posted.

EDIT: Went ahead and remove/reinstall Quickpic and now I get this error "unknown error (code 14): Could not open database". Not to worried about quickpic, I rather have photos showing on social media apps :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
and you verified in your about screen that you see Basband version N900AUCUEOC2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ukic:
Yes I did. Yesterday, I thought I just installed oc2 wrong so it so I did a full nc2 restore, installed oc1 then oc2 and still got the same error.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] marcbsmoove:
Please help! I have att note 3...I follow guide to the tee...and it's stuck on Samsung screen....I tried to odin back to nc2..but it keeps failing. Can someone PLEASE help me get my phone back in working order..what do I need to do? Thank to all that reply.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Namelesswonder:
Thanks for that. I was wondering why the firmware flashable for OC2 would say that it couldn't do modem.bin or NON-HLOS.bin. After applying the OC1 modem flashable it would still say it couldn't patch NON-HLOS.bin. Applying the firmware with Odin then applying the patch in SafeStrap fixed that right up. Wouldn't want to walk around with an updated 3G firmware but an out of date LTE firmware.

Also after much work and wearing of my flash and NAND, I got the ROM to work fine with Xposed and no force-closes in Samsung apps. I did both the ROM and Xposed flashable in the same instance, rather than letting the phone setup, then installing Xposed. It should work with the SafeStrap menu mod also. I'm thinking it should go in this order: ROM -> SafeStrap menu mod -> Xposed flashable, in order of flashing, with no reboots in between.

Double edit: Also I frequently get problems where it'll be booting, then it'll say that the system is not responding, with the standard popup, and a black background. I can click "wait" or "ok" and it'll receive my touch, then it'll soft reboot ~10 seconds later if I click OK. So far it isn't as annoying as the "getAudioPolicyConfig" logcat spam that I was having on OC1, which wouldn't allow me to boot with anything plugged into the USB port.

Triple edit: Also I suggest everyone install Liveboot, so you can see what is holding up your boot process or if any errors are happening. You might see some nasty warnings or errors relating to Xposed, but those should pass as that's what allow Xposed to work on our phones.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ukic:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Namelesswonder:
I had this really weird issue that just happened to me right now. I wanted to clear my dalvik cache because it was starting to get large and wanted to do it anyway, so I selected the "boot to recovery" option (I have Wanam 4-way reboot menu enabled, no SafeStrap menu mod) so I can carry out the clearing there. It reboots to the recovery except immediately it says "UDC" or something then "failure" at the top and I get a warning that unauthorized software is on the phone and I have to bring it to an AT&T store. Pressing the power button just shuts the screen off at this. Rebooting just brings me back to the recovery with the same warning. Pulling the battery does the same thing. I was still able to get into download mode and I flashed the OC1 firmware with Odin and now my phone is fine. I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm going install the OC2 firmware again and try manually getting into the stock recovery to see if it happens again. It might be related to the "fake device status" in Wanam but I don't know, I'll need to test.

Anyone having problems with init.d & things like FsTrim?

To Test, open a terminal emulator and type:

"fstrim -v /cache"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] macasus76:
[MENTION=1978478]KTownGT[/MENTION] I have shadowled in the init.d folder and it is working at boot. I did however try the fstrim commands you posted and I get "can't open symlink.... no such file or directory found.........

We do have fstrim support don't we? Or at least I thought it was present after android 4.3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Solved it by editing my init.d script & adding "busybox" to all 3 partitions. init.d is enabled by default, and (I believe) has a test script which puts a test.log file in the /data/ folder. :good:

You can successfully fstrim using a terminal emulator by typing:

"su"

"busybox fstrim -v /system"

"busybox fstrim -v /data"

"busybox fstrim -v /cache"

For some reason, the default busybox doesn't have fstrim symlinked & my phone wasn't doing it at all. WAY more fluid now :good:

I have tested with this on last weekend, and I got several issues. I followed the direction and install V71 exposed.

Even tested with backup/restore from the safestrap, the result is same.

1. As many addressed, contact, webbrowser, weather, gallery, etc are terminated unexpectedly when pressing menu button.

2. When install VolumeUp for torch, it won't work although other exposed modules(wanam, gravity) shows the torch is enable.d

3. When Moto Tether is enabled, can't change WIFI AP name or security settings.

This is what I found last week. Other than that, seems working fine. Would you tell me what I got the first issues? any workaround?

ok downloaded the rom in OP and I did a wipe in safestrap recovery, installed rom and rebooted, rom stayed forever on ATT logo,, I had to odin instal nc2 kernel and then install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, rebooted rom booted right up.

I tried all screens and pressing menu key and I did not get any FC

settings,mms,camera,calender,phone,clock,gallery etc

so I do need to fix rom in OP to get root at install.

but until I get rom updated with working root,UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip can be installed right after rom install, then rom will boot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dutch55:
I installed OC2 Deodexed the first time as a clean install coming from OC1 root. I have done several dirty flashes of the same ROM since. I had a problem with settings crashing in WiFi HotSpot trying to change the SSID. I had installed several of the added mods, including boot animation and sound and the Safestrap_Power_Menu.zip mod. Dirty flashing and not installing the Safestrap power menu mod eliminated my problem.

I use Nova Launcher but I have no reason to suspect it is related to the problem.

Two OC1 Firmwares

Hi Carl,

I notice that there are 2 different OC1 Firmware zips linked to in the OP. If coming from KitKat, does it matter which of the 2 that one uses?

SM-N900A_OC1_Firmware_Recovery-Flashable which after download is 50,145 KB in size while the SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_OC1_Firmware_Recovery-Flashable is 27,323 KB in size. Is one as good as the other?

Thanks!

Also, if one uses the second: Restore TWRP backup method (which I did a couple of times with different outcomes LOL during the week), would flashing the OC1 followed by the OC2 firmware be necessary coming from KitKat? I assumed no but......

Thanks!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
. [MENTION=1538050]wayne8821212[/MENTION]. Thanks for sharing.

The 50 MB has the full firmware in it. The small is a OC2 firmware patch installer for nc2. I need to remove that one. So use the larger OC1 If your goal is to have OC2 then you need to install OC1 firmware before doing OC2. The reason is the OC2 is a patch install.

Method # 2 Installing This Rom via Restoring Backup

Hi Carl,

Thanks for the info on the which OC1 firmware zip to use! My second question was buried in the middle so you might not have seen it. I am assuming that if I use your backup (of your OC2 deodexed Rom) and restore via TWRP, that I would be bringing my firmware up to OC2 (no need for any firmware flashing nor) right? I also assume that the backup has the most up to date super Su version as well?

Thanks!!!

I have everything working and going again. Enabled hotspot with xposed and now I have the Settings menu crashing over and over if I try to access the settings to edit SSID and password. As mentioned by others in earlier posts.

I know it's best to fix it permanently but is there a way to actually change those settings (SSID, password, etc)? I have used build prop editor before but i guess those settings are not accessible there? Sorry, I don't know much about anything. But I am good at breaking things and giving headaches.
