[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Pillo70:
Hi everybody. I have been following this thread almost since it started, finally I have decided to install v6. Clean flash, wiping everything and updating bootloader and modem as it is recommended. All the files I have used are the posted in this thread. Kernel is phamtom, the one coming with the rom, no xposed, no other mods, just the rom and the md5 of every file was ok. I have found several bugs.

1.- First installation: The S8 launcher worked fine while you do not touch it too much. I changed the ordering of the applications to alphabetical order and everything got messed. Everytime I restarted the cell, the launcher reverted to the original config. I have tried to change launcher to the stock one or the other option (infinite scrolling) and back again to S8 and no success to recover the functionallity. In this first installation I got root working using magisksu + magisk manager, I could restore all my applications using titanium. However due to the problems with the launcher I decided to clean install again. Magisk hide did not work on this installation in any moment even though I followed the recommendations of the thread to get it working, I could not pass safetynet but at least I had root.

2.- Second installation. Wiping everything again, and clean install. I chose magisksu + magisk manager, as in the first installation. I did everything as before and I followed the instructions to get magisk hide working, including checking for the .phamtom.log file and patching from PRC. I had root access (PRC said that root privileges were achieved), however when I tried to restore everything with titanium, it could not get root privileges, failed to get the root. I wanted to get magisk for the kids to play PGO, however I decided to unroot and install the old way root. I unrooted the cell via using magisk manager and then the recovery option, just to be sure. I restarted again in recovery and I try to root the old way. It failed, I chose for every option to leave everything as it is and in the options for installing applications, I unchecked everything. With those elections rooting fails. I repeated again the same elections but this time I left checked the applications to install. In this case rooting was done. I restarted the phone and I could use titanium backup to restore everything. However I am still interesting on Magisk for the kids. I do not understand why it failed.

I have been customising the phone the whole day and suddenly another problems arose:

a) If I group several applications in home screen (like if you make a folder) when I accessed to one of them, the content of the group occupies the whole screen, then you launch the application you want. When you close that application you do not revert to the home screen but to the content of the group that it is not closed automatically when you launch your application, so you really need to hit twice the right button to get the home screen, which is quite annoying.

b) I have put a lot of direct access and widgets in home screen but I cannot put the widgets to one chat of whassapp and neither to one thread of tapatalk. I got the message that touchwiz start has stopped working and the widgets are not created. I have cleaned data and cache of the launcher and the problem is still there. I do not know what to do to have those widgets working. The rest of the widgest seem to work fine. This is also something annoying because it is a long way to get either one chat of whatsapp or one thread of tapatalk if you think that you have those applications grouped in the home screen (think also in the problem described in a) ).

I would appreciate some help to solve these problems. Rom is quite nice and I would like to keep it and make a nandroid backup before starting to mess around with magisk. Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
