Quick question, was it a norm for SM-N9005 variant Note 3 to get bootloop whenever someone/something modified the system partition after flashing and boot into android has completed?

Well, I owned a bacon (OnePlus One) and it is less hassle to flash custom ROM, the said phone belongs to a friend of mine, he just request my help to get a custom ROM for him as he had enough with the lag and battery drain from stock firmware (Lollipop), so I get him this ROM + TWRP 3.3 official + nano-opengapps + Magisk 18.1.

Everything works fine (up to install all needed magisk modules like V4A, Vanced YT, etc )until the following 3 cases I did in the phone to trigger bootloop:

1. I tried to manually remove AudioFX from system/priv-app (because i installed V4A magisk module) using file explorer app and restart

2. I use AdAway to block ads by modifying the host file and then restart

3. I reboot the phone into TWRP and remove AudioFX folder then restart.

But the bootloop can be solve by perform a factory reset through TWRP. Was it something in the hardware that prevent changes to system partition after android is flash or something similar due to knox?

In case u ask me to search the forum, yes, I am aware of forum rules and I had searched the term "bootloop" over here for hundreds of entries but nothing are relevant to it (mostly are wrong kernel or something else, I even found the adb disable-verity method from somewhere else but nope, that wasn't the case).

Question.

Answer. No
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xange:
thanks, well, guess i had missed something when i flash the phone. Is there any kind soul here mind to point me out what did I missed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shallmann:
Have you tried using Titanium Backup to uninstall AudioFX?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xange:
I will test it out and let you know next week, I let my friend continue using that phone as it is and warn him not to use root to modify the system partition for now. As far as i know based on the 3 scenarios, if there is even a slight changes in system partition after the phone had its first boot after flash, it gets boot looped until it gets a factory reset, i'll see if image backup of both system and data will help the case or not.

Forgot to mention, after factory reset because of 3rd bootloop from removing AudioFX through TWRP, the AudioFX is removed, its just i had to restart the whole setup wizard again...

what tts working on this rom ?

Hello,

and many thanks for this rom that seems to work fine (maybe not tested all :))

as i'd like to use osmand for navigating on osm maps, i need a text-to-speech apk, with french language.

pico tts.1.0, found on

https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/page/2/?q=lineageos

doesn't work : after installation, going in parameters/system/language/synthesis: select pico : "the app closes systematically" :(

any suggestion ?

thanks in advance.

I use Google TTS 3.16.6 and no issues on all 9.0 rom...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xdaixi:
hi rayman95,

and thank you for your answer.

i did try this one too without success.

so i install it again, but, after selected as 'prefered engine', the 'language' choice, speed and tone are 'gray' with no access.

is there anything more to do for this to work ?

the 'read' button is also gray and inactive and the 're-initialize' button don't do anything apparently.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rayman95:
Maybe reboot..and uninstall pico tts

from lineageos-14.1 to 16: a success !

Hello !

and many thanks again to jprimero15 for this rom !

on my note3-n9005-hlte, I came from lineageos-14.1-twrp-rooted and that is what i did (except mis-memoring :) ) :

1/ pc: $adb backup -f 2019-04-16_backup-f-apk-obb-shared-all.ab -apk -obb -shared -all (save 'everything')

2/ pc: $adb cp /root/sytem/lib/libsec-ril.so /externe_sdcard (save the working lib for the phone)

3/ download the last twrp.zip or .img

4/ note3: reboot in 'recovery' mode : vol+ + menu + power

5/ note3: 'install': 'last'-twrp (choose zip or img, down-right)

6/ note3: reboot in recovery

7/ note3: 'backup' (one more ! ): boot, system, data, cache, efs, modem, enable compression

8/ note3: put off the micro-sdcard to copy on the pc

9/ pc: read the copy of the backup : extract: system.ext4.win >	addon.d... > lib: /lib > libsec-ril.so to copy in the root of the sdcard

10/ note3: wipe /advanced: cache, dalvik cache, system, data

11/ pc: download lineageos-16 and addonsu16 (for root)

12/ pc: $adb sideload lineageos-16...zip

13/ pc: $adb sideload addonsu

14/ note3: reboot in 'recovery'

15/ pc: $adb root : once again > 'adb is already running as root'

16/ pc: $adb push libsec-ril.so /system/lib/

17/ pc: $adb shell

18/ note3: hlte:/#cd /system/lib

#ls -al | grep libsec

that is to control the libsec-ril.so

#exit

#exit

19/ reboot : it may reboot one or more times (loop ? ) but finally stabilize and 'land' successfully ! :)

20/ for 'text-to-speech', according to the previous post follow the rayman95 advice : install the Google TTS 3.16.6

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-text-to-speech-engine/google-text-to-speech-engine-3-16-6-232892818-release/google-text-to-speech-3-16-6-232892818-2-android-apk-download/ and reboot !

hope that's could help someone :)

Im so proud of this comunity. Haven't tryed the rom yet, but until now i have been using Phronesis ROM because it keeps some features of Note devices.

[Update]

It's just perfect. Pretty much everything is better, except for the thing that the stylus support is not that optimized, the secondary button on it won't work and if you want to use it just as a cursor, as you would do with your fingers, you will have to push a little harder. Other than that the pressure sensor works just fine. The only bug, that I don't care about, is lack of Bluetooth call support, but I don't use it. So there's that.

Hi, thanks for making this ROM.

I have tested all haggertk HLTE version, and unfortunately I have problem with the wifi. When I tested the ROM from build 20181010 up to 20181122, the wifi is working fine. But starting 20181203 up to 20190518, the wifi is very difficult to be turned on. It occasionally works, most mostly not. Is the a major change (like hardware driver change) between Nov and Dec build? Is it possible to install the latest build 20190518 but getting the wifi files from 20181122? How?

Sorry if I put it wrong, I'm not a programmer, just a regular windows pc user.

Thanks in advance

Thanks rayman95.

I'm sure I have did that before, and I also happen to use nordic region. I have tried different pie ROM as well like Havoc, RR, and Pixel Experience, but all end up with the same wifi problem. The one that works fine is this ROM build before Desember. But let me try again... maybe I'll get lucky.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GreatSudoku:
I've noticed a bug in the TMO 201901518 build. This is the first Lineage OS 16.0 build I've installed. The Bug is as follows. When I have my phone in an area where the phone doesn't get reception, the phone will reboot constantly. I'll be able to use the phone for a few minutes, then the phone will lock up and reboot. I've had this same constant reboot activity occur in 3 separate locations where my phone doesn't get service, and I've never had the problem of the phone rebooting randomly in areas where I get reception.

I noticed in Lineage OS version 15 ROMs, when in an area with no service, my phone would eventually "give up" trying to find cell reception, and I'd have to reboot my phone upon getting back into a service area in order to get cell service and data back up and functioning. Now it appears in version 16 ROMS of Lineage OS that when the phone "gives up" trying to get cell signal, it reboots itself. I even tried turning mobile data off, but that had no effect. It doesn't seem to matter if I am connected to a wifi network or not. If I spend any amount of time in an area with no reception my phone goes into constant reboot mode.

Any one else run int this issue? Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eric_Lev:
No such issue on my side.

Did you use the latest firmware? ... https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298969340

My Baseband is listed as N900TUVUFQD2 (which I believe is the latest firmware for the SM-N900T)

Does the firmware in the link you provided work for T-Mobile variants of the Note 3 (SM-N900T)? Looking on the firmware list on the page below, the link you sent me appears to be firmware for for the Saudi Arabian variant of the SM-N9005

My device is SM-N9005 (HLTE).

Edit1: for orther Note 3 .... https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=196446 ... and you are using the latest firmware for the SM-N900T.

Edit2: Try a clean install (full wipe) of the latest build (+ nano gapp + los su addon if needed) with the latest TWRP (3.3.1-0).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GreatSudoku:
I'll try that. I did a clean install of the rom and gapps and magisk, but I had 3.2.1 of TWRP. Will try updating that, reinstallign the rom fresh and see if it makes a differnce.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Buslova:
Really exciting to see [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] and team LOS continuing the good work of keeping one of the best phones relevant today. If only the ugly BT bug would get more attention and finally squashed. Oreo was such a pos for the changes it brought to BT and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough devs that use BT to make it a priority. Afraid at this point that many of us will be stuck on Nougat forever since BT calls are a must for many of us. Not complaining since otherwise we'd be stuck using Samsung's embarrassing LP or MM rom and the nougat ROM I'm running does everything I need it to except for the coveted wireless android auto support that P brings. Anyway, wanted to say thanx, great work so far, congrats on RIL, and please keep chugging ahead especially on stupid relentless BT bug.

POSP is not LOS. That is where youare mistaken. POSP is a modded ROM. LOS is more like stock with very low customization.

Hey [MENTION=6561802]jprimero15[/MENTION], thanks for your contributions! I just have a question (forgive me if it's OT):

Do you think logs might be able to help with figuring out these bluetooth issues that people are having with LOS 15.1 & LOS 16 (and their variations)? I was just wondering, because usually issues like these are mostly hardware related (unsupported chipset, outdated internals, etc), so logs might not be able to show related activities. But then again, I saw that RIL had been fixed so I could be wrong. Any thoughts?

P.S I'll gladly edit this post if it is really OT from this thread :o

Don't worry. Your post is quite normal one that was asking if contribution could do any help for fixing an issue. We know you and we are aware of your intentions. You did not spam threads with same buzz words.

Currently experimental builds, troubleshooting and bug fixing is mainly done on telegram channel mentioned in OP. The fixed and stabler builds are shared on XDA. Upon request of devs and depending on stability of shared ROMs, the hunt for bt bug may start. But as I said, it is currently not a priority to fix.

I myself dont own a bt headphones for call or a car that has bt speaker, so it may seem as not important for me, but I know many people who has those and have to have bt connection to make calls for their convenience

Thanks for the continued support

I've kind of moved on from XDA as my time for flashing ROMs ended long ago, but just wanted to say thanks to the developer for the continued support of this old device (Verizon HLTEMO for me). After over two years on official Lineage 14.1, my phone was starting to really lag and show poor battery life. Probably needed to start over but figured if I was going to do that might as well upgrade, especially since they pulled support too. This is certainly a huge improvement. The major pain in the arse for me moving on was Titanium Backup and it's inability to use the external card on 16.1 (worked around it on 14.1 but I had multiple backups in different folders that caused confusion for me yesterday, thanks Google). That resulted in a huge mess in restoring my apps but anywho. ROM itself is super fast and battery on standby is superb, not even 1% used during a 7 hour period asleep.

Hate to lose BT as I have a smartwatch but I guess that is the sacrifice I will have to make. Good luck with that issue in the future and thanks again. I know there are just a few of us downloading but it's appreciated by this small bunch.
