You only do the wiping BEFORE flashing the ROM, GApps and Magisk, not after. Can you try again? Do a clean wipe (cache, dalvik, system and data) and install Lord Eko's ROM and make sure it is working. Then do another wipe clean and install latest ROM, GApps and Magisk. See how that goes.

Sorry if this has been answered and I don't see anything in my searches.....but...is there a way to get any of the sweet nx cameras or ports of Google's camera working on this rom? Every one I've tried fails.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ahmednagi8:
Try google camera this specific version works for me pretty well but make sure to grant all the permissions required and most importantly set the video recording resolution to 720p for both back and front camera
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chris8189:
Just followed your instructions to the letter, and yet again, the phone will not boot this ROM. I am very interested to know what Vidwhal has done differently compared with Lord Eko to result in Vidwhal's not working. I have proceded to nw download an even earlier version of Vidwhal's ROM (01-15-2017) to see if that will work. I'm starting to lose patience now.

Edit: downloaded the above and clean wiped and flashed and still the same situation. Still getting the Set Warranty Bit: Kernel bootloop. I give up. Clearly my phone is not compatible with these ROM's (proceeds to finger wag and tut at the phone lying next to him).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
Just a thought, did you change anything to your partitions under Lord Eko's rom?

What i do on version jumps or change to other Rom's, maybe it's not needed but i do it anyway, is format the data partition.

If you could run [MENTION=5316466]Lord Eko[/MENTION] RRN then you can run [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] RRN and that's a fact.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chris8189:
Not that I was aware of, but nevertheless I've just gone and formatted the data in TWRP and flashed afresh Vidwhal's latest, Gapps (Pico) latest and Magisk v15.2 and still get bootloops. Is it worth reverting back to latest Samsung stock ROM via Sammobile and starting from scratch?

Edit: I wonder if it's because I'm using twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.tar and not a later version? Not that I can use a later version anyway, because I have been unsuccessful flashing anything later than v2.8.7........
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PrfyVdlx:
It is your choice to give up, but just to let you know, you are not the only one having boot loops. From Lord Eko's ROM switch over to Vidwhal's, I don't remember having boot loop, but in-between version changes on Vidwhal's ROM, I did get boot loops. You were asking questions about the differences between Lord Eko's and Vidwhal's ROMs, but between versions of Vidwhal's ROMs, what question will I ask?

As [MENTION=1172433]Chinaboy5216[/MENTION] pointed out, if you are able to make it run on Lord Eko's ROM, you are guaranteed to make your phone run on Vidwhal's ROM. You just need to keep on trying until you find out what works on your phone.

Most of us keep on flashing new releases despite the fact that our phone is already working on the current or previous release. That's because we are all pioneers here. And you are here because you are a pioneer, testing and validating and confirming, and happy doing all that. In-between are the frustrations and disappointments, but that does not make us stop. We keep on. Be like Rocky, 'one more round', until you knock the opponent out.

Don't throw the towel yet. One more round?

TWRP is one big reason. Do you update TWRP using TWRP/TWRP Manager and the update to 3.2.1.x fails?

Just would like to let everybody know I am okay with Synergy r19 kernel Jan 6 release, battery saving and response, and it is just a matter of preference for me that after this post, I am flashing Xenial b26x kernel. One difference I found is that Synergy gives me a darker hue on my phone screen, which, in Xenial, I have to make it darker manually. Other than that, they are almost the same. Kudos to all developers and testers (I'm with the latter group). :o
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chris rock:
One more idea for chris...

Maybe you should try another gapps app.

Wrong gapps force bootloops too!

Vidwhal wrote it ist required to use newer twrp I guess.,..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chris8189:
Thanks for trying to restore my faith. I wholeheartedly agree that if I can successfully run Loed Eko's ROM's, then there should be no reason why I can't run Vidwhal's. When I was running Lord Eko's, on startup it would bring a notice up saying Kernel is not SE Android Enforcing, and then proceed to boot the ROM. I did not get this line of red text whenever I flashed Vidwhal's, just the Set Warranty Bit: Kernel message. The same applies if I try and flash the latest version of TWRP, I get the message Set Warranty Bit: Recovery, and then it bootloops. However if I install version 2.8.7 4-4, it will say Recovery is not SE Android Enforcing, and then proceed to boot TWRP successfully. I am at a total loss here.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion, however the GApps that I am using is the latest Pico, straight from the GApps website, and works flawlessly with Eko's ROM, so I am not so sure it is that what is causing it. If I had to hazard a guess what the cause may be, it would be some sort of protection element that Samsung have built into the phone to prevent custom recoveries and ROM's from working, and so there must be something subtely different in TWRP 2.8.7 and newer, as well as Lord Eko's and Vidwhal's ROM's for the former to bypass security, and the latter to not. Tell me if I'm not on the right lines.

Chris
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] galakanokis:
Very strange, I assume you have tried without Magisk? Maybe just the ROM?

I ran with TWRP V2.8.7 up until a week or so ago and no issues with Vidwhal's RR. I could not for the life of me flash SuperSU on 2.8.7 only Magisk.

I am not on RR right now as I had terrible battery drain while on LTE only (no wifi) but I also haven't tried the latest 2018 release so I may flash again and see how it goes.

Just finicky devices I think.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
Flash with latest TWRP is more than adviced, mine is on TWRP 3.2.1.0 (latest version). If i recall correctly [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] also mentioned this in the thread somewhere.

Gapps can also be an issue, to be sure flash the rom only first and reboot, if the rom isn't the issue then flash Magisk (SuperSu is giving issues these days, at least for me. Currently running Magisk 15.2 here) and reboot, ... and so on. Go step by step so you can identify which part it is that gives you the bootloop (Rom, SU or Magisk, Gapps, ...)

As Gapps i still suggest to use OpenGapps Nano which to my experience works best, again for me on my device.

As said, if you can run Lord Eko's rom the you can also run Vidwhal's rom. I also suggest not to give up, RRN 5.8.5 is really super stable, fast and battery friendly. It's more than worth is to at least keep trying a bit before giving up.

Also suggest to post your device, TWRP version, what exactly do you flash and in which order, ... all possible data in one post. That will clarify a lot more and will give you the best help.

Good luck!!

Abnormal data traffic usage from “Android OS”

Hello,

It is getting worse, I am using the 1/1/2018 version and the traffic report tells me that the Android OS was using 1.53GB of data in just 8 days...

When I look at the details I see only the apps included in the system apps, but I have no details on how to stop this...

Do someone has an idea on how to dig into this?

Thanks,

I have an N900-5 HLTE locked to Three mobile UK. It was my birthday today so have had friends and family over tonight, with the Samsung lying dead on the bedside cabinet upstairs for the last few hours with no ROM on at all! Fun times! I have tried flashing the latest TWRP both via image in TWRP itself, and through Odin. Both methds will not work. Is Heimdall worth a try? The order in which I flash is what I would consider to be standard - I first do a clean wipe (system, data, cache and dalvil) and then flash the ROM. I then flash GApps and then flash Magisk (if the ROM does not already have it baked in). I have had to reflash Lord Eko's ROM again tonight, just to get me going, as this phone is my daily driver. I haven't had the time after the gathering tonight to mess around. Frustrating to say the least. Flashing different ROM's on my Sony Xperia Z3 was a walk in the park compared to this phone.

I'll update you guys tomorrow after work, when I get another chance to mess around with it. Thank you so much for the ongoing advice.

Chris
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] grumpycoder100:
Okay. Can you provide us with some info about your device? If possible, go to Play Store and download an app called Phone Info (see attachment) and show us your bootloader, baseband version. Then we'll see what's the problem. If it is an old bootloader, that could be the reason as to why you're getting bootloops when flashing newer builds.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
Latest TWRP can be flashed through recovery, just download the img file from TWRP and instead of selecting zip file for flash select img file. This is easy to do.

In case you need it, how to flash a img file in TWRP:

Did anyone tried installing ARISE sound system?? Plz tell ur setup thanx..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AmberLynn:
This is hunting me since years.

It's present on all non-native Note 3 Images I have ever flashed (e.g. also on the N5 and N7 ports).

Using ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 in build.prop helps a little bit but the echo remains.

Seems to be related to the usage of the inbuilt mics but I was not able to figure out how to eliminate it (even after comparing files from stock roms).

It's basically the *only* drawback I could find on this ROM.

Which is a pity because it's so blazingly fast and modern.

Not sure if it could ever be solved by playing around with the sound .xml files or by usage of certain kernels as people often write that they do not have this problem.

For everyone not familiar with it - this is what we are talking about:

If you call someone "normally" (without using a headset or speaker), the other person will hear an echo of herself when she speaks.

Rather loud and disturbing.

For "us" with our Note 3 everything is ok.

The problem is experienced on the other side of the line.

That is why it is probably not so familiar (until the called person tells you).

Also, because it does not happen if you are using a headset or the loudspeaker.

Thanks,

best regards

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AmberLynn:
I think everyone has it (at least with N9005 model).

But would be interesting to hear other user's experiences regarding that "problem" (which can be circumvented by using a headset).

This "caller echo" is something that's not just related to our Note 3, it's also present on other phones if you search for it on XDA.

The mentioned build.prop tweak is referenced in this thread (Tweak No. 16): https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-build-prop-tweaks-t3376962

The one who is able to "fix" this "problem" would be widely appreciated as I am sure: If you ask around, this will be present on nearly every modern Note 3 ROM nowadays.

Maybe just not apparent as it affects "the other side of the line" and not us.

And if the called person does not complain - how would you know about it?

Thanks,

best regards

Problem fixed

I had the same problem.The Dev helped me to fix the problem.You must add Cast to your tiles. Another important thing for Samsung TV. Press Menu on TV Remote- Select Network- Screen Mirror- Device Manager . On device manager delete all unused device. And make sure your phone is allowed in there. If your phone is already there try to delete your device and start the process again. Very important thing first time when you try to connect to your TV , a small pop up will appear on top of your TV scrren. You must select Allow with your TV remote. Another important thing AnyMote Smart Remote paid app was recommended by the DEV of this ROM. Which works great.

You can with root. Use the Lucky Patcher app (don't discuss further about this, it's banned, I'm just saying this app's name to help you out)

Go to the app, click on Toolbox, and there should be an option to odex all system apps. Wait for a few seconds and it should automatically reboot).

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
SM-N900S is a Qualcomm CPU, Korean variant as far as SamMobile tells me. Seen the specs of the device this should not be an issue, doing a search trough the thread shows info too.

I checked in [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] thread and [MENTION=5316466]Lord Eko[/MENTION] thread, in both threads there are a lot of posts, i suggest you read these first and ask the owners of the N900S to their experience as with the 5.8.3 and 5.8.4 versions there seemed to be some unstable issues. Version 5.8.5 however looks not so bad to me.

Good luck, in case you do flash 5.8.5 don't forget to flash the latest bootloader and modem, latest TWRP prefered and even more important TAKE A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING just in case.
