Welcome to the LYN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 thread - v14


===========================================



CAUTION ON KITKAT

FIRST SIDE EFFECT

Flashing kitkat now will render the external SD almost useless for some apps. This is a new feature of kitkat where each app will need an extra permission for external sd. As such you will need an update from the app creator. Nevertheless, Samsung stock apps are working fine.

The is a fix for rooted user as we can change some permission stuff with root. ROOTING WILL TRIP KNOX ON KITKAT.

Please be warned on this new permission issue with kitkat before flashing.


Rooted user can flash this to FIX EXTERNAL SD


SECOND SIDE EFFECT


KitKat ROM is detecting S View Cover Chipset, only Genuine Samsung S View Flipcover will working now.

All counterfeit or any branded casing including Spigen SlimArmor View - S View function will stop working once update to KitKat ROM."

The is a fix for rooted user using exposed framework and the xposed app from here S cover Xposed Fix.
ROOTING WILL TRIP KNOX ON KITKAT.

Please be warned on this issue with kitkat before flashing.


THIRD SIDE EFFECT


There will be no downgrading back to 4.3 roms anymore so the 2 above side effects is here to stay until someone fixes it.

Only flash Kitkat if you have understood the above 2 side effects.

Officially phone came with MJ7 or later - root with any method will trip knox.
Officially phone came with MJ1 but later updates to MJ7 with OTA/KIES/Odin and later - root with any method will trip knox.
Officially at MJ1 and rooted and update to any firmware excluding KitKat ROM using Mobile Odin Pro only - root will remain and won't trip the knox.
KitKat cannot update via Mobile Odin as new bootloader required and will trip the knox once you root it only.
Install any custom recovery and custom kernel will trip the knox.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


===========================================


For the Note series, the main differentiator is the S-Pen using a Wacom active digitizer, and Samsung's nicely packaged software to take advantage of it across the OS. I personally like the workflow enhancement you get when your device can actually replace the paper notebook, so I am very keen for active digitizer devices, of which currently only the Note series has it in the smartphone/phablet form factor. Larger devices with active digitizers (Wacom or N-Trig) tend to be very expensive (RM5k++) tablets/convertibles from notebook manufacturers.


First off, I want to put things in perspective. I must state that we can no longer think of our devices as "phones" but COMPUTERS. Therefore, since computers have been around for the last 60 years or so, there is nothing "new" or "innovative" to expect from our devices, except for "faster, better, cheaper". Maybe not cheaper but we have seen ASP (Average Selling Price) falling across the board.

In 2002 - it was already speculated that your phone will become your computer:
The Economist - 2002-11-21 - Computing's new shape

And because it is a computer, you have to treat it as such, ie regular backups, some periodic cleansing/factory reset and practice safe computing habits.

Note that of course it is not to be compared with the CISC type computers of the Intel x86 desktop/notebook genre, but it is still a computer nonetheless of the RISC variety, specifically the ARM family, with a huge number of variations across manufacturers. The focus of ARM is for performance per watt, which allows low power computing on the go which has been the dream of computing since its dawn.


Anything else, feel free to contribute.

Information will be added as it becomes available.

Typically I will begin new versions at 00:00 of the day, so Started will be 00:00 of day 1, and Ended is considered as 23:59 of the end date for ease of calculation, unless specified in the time below.

by Charles Chambers

Used to be a diehard iPhone fan since 07. Switched to android in 11 and I love it.

The difference between android and iOS: iOS is like living in a nice hotel. You don't have a lot of choice but it looks nice and easy to use.

Android is like buying your own home. Buy an really nice home (android device) and you will probably love it. You can change and customize it however you want. It's yours! You can also buy cheap.
The consensus among thread members (they have the Xperia Z Ultra as well either currently or previously) is that the Note 3 screen is better than the Xperia Z Ultra's screen.

> BEWARE OF SCAMS/CONS/FAKES <

A word about the terms "AP" and "Ori" (not the best choice of terms, but this is Bolehland :blush: )
A real Samsung (or any manufacturer's) device is Original whether it's SME or AP. We get our terminology confused due to the use of the term "AP" here whereas the correct term is "Parallel Import" or "Grey Market". And again due to the proliferation of counterfeit goods in this part of the world, the term "original" is also misappropriated to denote "Genuine".

SME vs AP is simply a matter of distribution channel for a Genuine product. You can also get "original" counterfeits since it comes directly from the manufacturer of said counterfeit.

*PLEASE READ POST 9 ABOUT Samsung's SIM-locking* This is Samsung's attempt at reducing parallel import sets that could impact a specific country or region's sales revenues.

From Merriam-Webster:
Definition of COUNTERFEIT
1: made in imitation of something else with intent to deceive => LYN's historical topic on the subject - AP, Ori, Water

Pics of Counterfeits
Or perhaps more politely, "unbranded clones"

Android Central on Enabling USB Debugging option

For app developer, enabling usb debugging need some special tricks now
I didn't know about that.

Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number a few times > It will say your a developer now > Go back and you will see developer options above About Phone > Check USB Debugging option in Developer Options
USB debugging is mainly for developers, allowing them to use the android sdk (software development kit) to communicate with the device. However, USB debugging can be extremely useful as it allows us to use adb commands which can pull and push files to the device even when it does not boot correctly.

BB9900 to Note 3 is a big move. Because..
1 - you moving from a keyboard to touch screen. You move to any touchscreen keyboard, you'll face the problem.
2 - you moving from a one-hand to a big phablet. One hand is not easy. But samsung has one-hand operation settings that you can use to help you do one-hand operations.
3 - you moving from an email-focused phone via BIS/BES to all-in smartphones..

Reading manual probably not gonna help much. But at the end of the day, you just need to get used to it....

Go to Setting > Device tab > Sound > vibration intensity

From there you can set your vibration intensity for each different types of events. In fact I find that Note 3 vibration is too strong till I can hear it instead of feeling it. I have lower down the intensity. Not sure how strong you want.

every time i check my battery, i had discovered that the wifi is always awake although i off it. after google bout it, seems like it is a new feature in android 4.3 to help get better accuracy on our location by scanning for nearby wifi. more about it in the link below and how to disable that feature...

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2422689,00.asp

essentially, for note 3
Go Settings --> Connection tab --> tap Wi-Fi --> tap menu button --> tap advanced --> uncheck Scanning always available

this should turn off wifi entirely... sorry if this is known, new to 4.3 so jz sharing what i had found out... cheers~~~

Knox "fix" for "Prevention Information"
Andrewtst's clear outline of stuff to freeze to stop Knox from displaying the annoying popup V9/#2206 - 2013-11-04
This is caused by Knox settings and some apps are tripping it to give this popup titled "Prevention Information". It has been reported occurring almost daily, and various users have also posted fixes. There's no real fix actually except to either root and freeze it, or accept the 30 day ignore checkbox.

QUOTE
The only solution now is happily see it every 30 days or..... root and disable all KNOX things, total 5 apps related to KNOX, include:
- KNOX 1.0
- KNOX 1.0 (don't ask me why duplicate)
- KLMS Agent 1.5
- Knox Notification Manager 1.0 (this should be the one buzz people)
- KNOX Store 1.0

Issue 014 by vinnilaa, additional update:

vinnilaa,Oct 9 2013, 04:58 PM

V7/#1506

In regards to the purple smeared stain on my screen, the stain was spreading wider within a day. I brought it to Samsung Service Centre in One Utama and upon checking the technician said that the LED is cracked inside. I didn't see any visible crack on the screen and I don't think it is caused by any fall. Apparently, if I leave it, the stain will spread and eventually the screen will go dead. According to the them, I must have pressed the screen hard till the LED cracked inside  :stars:  Seriously!!!!

Since the screen is not under warranty, I have to fork out my own money RM680 to pay for the damage... I tried to argue it doesn't make sense for a new device to be so flimsy and as a user of Note 1, Note 2, Tab 7.7 and Note 10.1, I know the quality is not that bad. But, they can't do anything.

I had no choice but to agree to change the screen using my own money. The device can be collected after 3 hours. So, I will be going back to collect my device later.

Anyway, advice to all who prefer to use the phone naked, please spend a bit of money to buy a case such as otterbox. As for me, I am going to sew a pouch with thick sponge to protect my phone...  :x

UPDATE: Samsung seems to have some numbers of this defect but it remains largely cosmetic, so an exchange likely depends on your luck to convince the service center, and how badly dented it looks.

HEAT

*** THIS IS NOT A DEFECT !!! ***

Perception of "Heat"
Modern high performance mobile SoCs do generate heat. This is an unavoidable result of more transistors, higher frequencies and more features.

Some have posted about "my phone feels very hot." This is a QUALITATIVE statement with no numbers.

Please provide QUANTITATIVE statements like "my phone reached XX degrees when I was doing YY"

Recommended apps are System Tuner, by 3C here or Android Tuner, by 3C here. These apps provide CPU Temperature which is the correct reading and NOT the Battery temperature which is the only reading most monitoring apps provide.

The reported range of CPU temperature is from about 30C on idle or IM/light activity to about 60C to 63C while browsing and/or playing games. Some users report a high of only about 45 degrees for their Note 3's regardless of activity.

So DO NOT BE ALARMED if your Note 3 reaches 60 degrees. This temperature is uncomfortable to touch for more than 1 minute (or less for some) but Samsung seems to have alleviated this by placing the SoC at the topmost part of the device beside the camera module so that in portrait mode you don't actually feel it.

So please provide QUANTITATIVE descriptions when posting about heat.

Legal Redress

IF you ever need to file a Consumer Tribunal Complaint against a seller OR Samsung.

The following posts are from the HTC One thread. For some unfortunate reason, the HTC One was reported in its own thread with a lot of defects and a very large number of posts resulted from disappointed owners. Some offered tips on submitting claims to the Consumer Tribunal.

It is hoped that we do not need to resort to such actions where Samsung is concerned.

Go to the shop you buy from and give them 1 copy of Form 1 and 3 copies of Form 3, get them to chop on your Form 1 = 20 minutes? depends how far is the shop.

Jason,Oct 22 2013, 11:45 PM

Well, there's no need to debate, you just need HTC to write you to say
1. Your unit has a camera hardware problem
2. Your warranty is void because of ........
3. How much you have to pay to repair the camera hardware problem

You just tell HTC, if they void your warranty, you want it in writing.

AFTER you do that step either a. they give it to you in writing OR b. they don't.

Either way, you have a case with tribunal. With this letter, when you go tribunal, you will win already. Without the letter also you can win, because it is unlawful to void your warranty without a valid reason what. If its void, then they can give black and white stating why, if they cannot give a black and white document stating why then they are denying you warranty that you should rightfully get.

If I sell you a Macbook Air, you delete Mac OS X and install Windows, and the screen spoil, I cannot deny you warranty right?

Same logic bro.

EDIT: And HTC won't dare to lie in court, at least they didn't lie in my case, they admitted the original part number had a hardware issue.

This section contains an explanation of what rooting is and some additional information FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. READ THIS FIRST PLEASE.

After you've understood this post, proceed to the NEXT POST (Advanced Topics Part 2) for ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS.


Introduction to Rooting - Part 1 - Theory
Much of this post is compiled and written up by me based on reviews of various sources around the net and other sections of LYN. Sources and Contributors are duly acknowledged. If you wish to reproduce this writeup please PM me that you are doing so and acknowledge me as well. Thanks.

A bit of evangelism before we begin:
10 reasons why Android is still better than iOS - AndroidAuthority - 2013-01-17
Read the comments for a feel of what people think after having read the article.

Since we're actually going to discuss rooting, here is an article for you to understand why your phone is not supplied rooted out of the box:
Why Doesn’t Android Come Rooted? - 2013-03-12

Rooting for Beginners - some general explanations and understanding

The simple, non-sexy, non-flashy, techie answer: root gives you administrator (ie God) access to your device.
Root DOES NOT change your phone in any other way. No speed-ups, no slowdowns, no other changes or magic. But it OPENS THE DOOR to magic icon_rolleyes.gif

Other answers using different metaphors:
Easiest Explanation EVER To Explain Root Vs Jailbreak
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them


LINK:Difference between ios Jailbreaking and Android Rooting
an excerpt:
Now while IOS users might consider jailbreaking their iPhone the same thing as Android users rooting their Android phones, there is a HUGE difference. In fact, you can't even compare jailbreaking to rooting, and here's why.
Android out of the box allows users to install 3rd party apps (also known as sideloading), already allows you to install themes, and even allows you to install applications directly from your SD card or internal memory of your device. Everything that IOS users hope to accomplish with jailbreaking their device is already included as basic functionality within Android.

LINK:Another article explaining Rooting from Android Authority

Does Rooting Void warranty?
For Samsung phones, it's a yes and no answer. From the terms and conditions, rooting/flashing will void your warranty, but Samsung Malaysia is not strict about this. So far there have not been cases of Samsung rejecting rooted phones, but please be prudent and perform a Triangle Away counter reset and flash stock firmware before turning in your phone for warranty.

UPDATE: The above paragraph applied to phones that arrived before Knox became a feature of Samsung firmware. Currently, due to Knox and the Knox Warranty Flag (see Download mode pic below), it is HIGHLY LIKELY that Samsung will declare your WARRANTY VOID.

Triangle Away DOES NOT WORK ON KNOX PHONES.


If you live in the USA, rooting (of phones only) is legal as proclaimed by the Librarian of Congress, so you shouldn't have any issues with warranty. The US legal system has not clearly defined what a "tablet" is, so you can't root tablets. We don't know the case for "phablets" laugh.gif

Can rooting damage your phone?
It is a one in a million chance. If you are afraid of this slim chance, don't root.
This usually happens due to PEBKAC issues. Therefore, if you are prone to PEBKAC, do not proceed. Please google PEBKAC for your OWN UNDERSTANDING AND PROTECTION.
If you do not suffer from PEBKAC, then please ensure 1 very important thing: your download is NOT corrupt. For Windows, use this tool: HashTab by implbits
Make sure that your file MD5 matches the one from the host site. If the MD5 matches, your download is clean, and you may proceed.

There may be cases where you will not have the MD5 from the host site. If that is the case, use this tool: http://www.7-zip.org/
Install it. Select default options, and then run "Test archive" from the right click menu. Passing the test will give you a good indication your download is not corrupt.

What is the Flash Counter and Triangle Away?
There is a counter in the phone that checks for flashing of custom ROMs. If you have flashed a custom kernel or ROM, the counter will increase. When you get into Download mode, it will show that the counter has increased. This tells Samsung that you have modified with your phone.
You can reset this counter by using Triangle Away.

Triangle Away DOES NOT WORK ON KNOX PHONES.


What is this about "locked bootloaders" ?
As you have seen from the writeup above, the bootloader starts your device. In Samsung, it also contains some checking code to determine whether you have a modified recovery and/or kernel. However, Samsung did not lock down the bootloader. A locked down bootloader means you can't root, can't change recovery, kernel or ROM. We all fervently hope Samsung continues in this fine tradition.

Samsung has now locked bootloaders due to security requirements of Knox.

Other manufacturers also practice bootloader locking as a so-called "security measure" to protect, ostensibly, the user. See link above about why your phone is not rooted out of the box. Here is a link to a post by an XDA forumer about bootloaders for Samsung, HTC and Sony.

Also see this post (2013-03-08) by DooMLoRD, a recognized XDA developer, on his steps for unlocking the Sony bootloader. Warnings quoted from his post :
QUOTE
Quote:
For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader.
DRM keys WILL be lost forever

Quote:

So we should thank Samsung for being more mod-friendly than the other manufacturers.

Region Lock on Newer Samsung Phones

News about Samsung and region-locking their phones

ItemLinkArticle DateContributor
Updated News AndroidCentral - Here's what's going on with the Galaxy Note 3's region-locking 2013-09-27 confuzan
Updated News [UPDATE] Samsung’s vague official statement 2013-09-26 Xeactorz
Initial News Samsung’s vague official statement regarding Galaxy Note 3′s regional SIM lock 2013-09-26 Xeactorz

QUOTE
Sammobile - The Update text:
UPDATE: While Samsung’s wordings aren’t very clear, it seems that the Galaxy Note 3 will actually be usable everywhere, but not before it is activated with a SIM from the region it was bought in. Once you activate it/use it with a local SIM, you’ll be able to visit other regions/travel abroad and use it with SIM cards from that particular region without issues. This is likely to reduce grey imports by retailers and those who want to make a quick buck by importing the device and selling it at higher prices, as the retailer would have to open the box to activate it before selling it, which would make it less attractive to a buyer. However, until Samsung makes an even clearer statement, you probably should refrain from importing even a Note 3 that has been activated in its home region.
QUOTE
AndroidCentral's article excerpt:
Region-locke​d, except for when it's not
The region-lock only kicks in if you first "activate" it with a SIM from outside the list of approved countries.

As it happens, the crucial factor is which SIM card you first use when you set up the phone. Lars from AllAboutSamsung.de was given information to this effect when he got in touch with Samsung Germany, and it's since been confirmed by Nirave Gondhia, who got his hands on additional Note 3s to test the theory. A second Note 3, first "activated" with a UK SIM, could then be used with a UAE SIM — the same one rejected by the first device.

(This also explains what happened with our own unlocked Note 3. It was never region-locked, as we used our EE (UK) SIM to run through the initial setup.)

So the region-lock only kicks in if you first "activate" it — i.e., switch on the phone and run through setup — with a SIM from outside the list of approved countries. It's probably a measure designed to ensnare grey (unauthorized) importers of Samsung phones. And it means you should be very careful about which SIM card you use to activate any "unlocked" Samsung phone from now on.
SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE REGION LOCKING AFFAIR
QUOTE
confuzan,Sep 28 2013, 11:49 PM

joytest perhaps you want to post this article up regarding region locking.

http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-note-...-details-emerge

summary:-
-note3 and other samsung flagships manufactured after july will have region locking in EU and US.
-booting up for the first time in this phone must use EU/US sim cards. after the first activation, it will be sim unlocked.
-booting up for the first time with a sim card from non EU/US operators will lock the phone. need to go to samsung service center to unlock.

what this means:-
-samsung wants to prevent parallel import from EU/US to other regions
-AP set from EU/US will most likely be activated already before it can be used in other regions.

DO NOT USE FILES MEANT FOR OTHER REGION NOTE 3's !!!!!!!
Be certain of what you've downloaded and that it is meant for the N9005 ONLY.

Android 4.3 and beyond: Is root going away for 'Stock' ROMs? - 2013-07-31 - waveweaver

**RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD PART 1**

BEFORE YOU FLASH .... you will need the correct USB drivers for the Note 3.
=> XDA - Latest Samsung USB drivers and ADB

ROOTING AND KNOX
Knox is a new security measure implemented by Samsung into their phones. It is only bad news to those of us that like to root our phones. Rooting a phone will trip knox counter from 0x0 to 0x1. You can check the knox counter in download mode.

The bad news is unlike the previous flash counter, there is no way to reset this, thus this indication of warranty void will always be with your phone.

The good thing is that earlier version of bootloader have a back door to get root without tripping knox. Newer bootloader after that had closed this backdoor. For the first step into rooting, ALWAYS DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK under settings > security.

To find out if you have the safe bootloader, download Android Terminal Emulator from play store. Run that app.
Type
CODE
getprop ro.bootloader

If the result you get is N9005XXUBMJ1 or lower it is the safe bootloader.
If the result you get is N9005XXUDMJ7 or higher it is the unsafe bootloader and you got no way to root without tripping knox.

If you have the unsafe bootloader just proceed to root using CF Auto Root. But be warn your knox will be tripped and you may risk your warranty.

If you have the safe bootloader, please read on. Subsequent post is on how to safely root, update and flash custom rom.


INITIAL ROOTING METHOD WITHOUT TRIPPING KNOX
Root De La Vega
XDA Thread. The links are dead. But no worries we have our own mirrors.

Instructions.
QUOTE
Rooting Instructions
1. Disable reactivation lock under settings > security
2. Remove the external sdcard (if you have one)
3. Boot into bootloader mode (see methods above)
4. Load the correct AP file into the AP slot in Odin (find your AP version in post #2)
5. Load the correct CSC file into the CSC slot in Odin (find your CSC version in post #2)
6. Click start in Odin, wait for it to fully flash
7. Let your device fully boot after flashing has completed
8. Copy the contents of Root_de_la_Vega.zip to the root of the internal storage

    /My Computer/[Phone Name]/Phone/
        root_de_la_vega.sh
        root_files (folder)

9. Reboot (very important!)
10. After fully booting delete the files from the internal storage that were added previously

    /My Computer/[Phone Name]/Phone/
        root_de_la_vega.sh
        root_files (folder)

11. Reboot (extremely important!)
Reinsert the external sdcard (if you have one)

That's all! Enjoy Root!

XXUDML2 URDLV
Those that are still unrooted on MJ1 can just upgrade straight to ML2 to get root with this file. Just flash it in AP using PC Odin and follow the remaining steps of RDLV to obtain root. There is no need to factory reset or flashing any other CSC (It comes with the required CSC already)

XDA - Fix FC for Note 3 Android 4.3 Titanium Backup - clfoong - 2013-10-15

QUOTE
This fix solves force close issues with restoring apps with data in Titanium Backup.

This operation recursively fixes all SElinux file markers in /data/data, which are spoiled by titanium during data restore. (Quote from vodkinagdan)

User vodkinagdan found this solution:

Simply execute this from the terminal emulator:

su
restorecon -R -v /data/data

This has to be done after every restore (or batch of restores).

I take no credit for this but it works!

vodkinagdan has sent fix to Titanium Track.

Unrooting (ie Return to Stock)


Assuming you HAVE NOT tripped the Knox Warranty flag during rooting, there may be reasons you wish to unroot your phone (selling, send in for warranty etc).

To do so, perform the following:

1. Select "Unroot" from SuperUser
2. Flash in STOCK FIRMWARE via PC Odin
3. Boot into Stock Recovery and select Factory Reset.

It is really slow motion! My monitor is capable of OC to 120hz.
Thanks to Note3 video I can quite confirm my monitor OC is real and no frame skipping.

My personal opinion is that naked phones are just accidents waiting to happen, and also that so-called "cases" that leave the top and bottom bezels exposed do not deserve the term "case". IMHO, a real case covers the entire bezel, the back and also a rim lip on the front face of the device. To each his/her own.

Useful Applications and Tutorials

One piece of advice. PLEASE CHECK APP PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING. An app should not have permissions beyond what its stated functionality should be. For example, a Wallpaper app should have NO PERMISSIONS. A Launcher will naturally have access to permissions for Calling and SMS and Phone Hardware (vibrate settings etc).

If you install MyHotSexyGirlLiveWallpaper with access to Calls, Network Status and SMS, then .... whistling.gif

LINK:About Mobile Antivirus - 2013-04-18
Excerpt:
QUOTE
Semantics of Fear
Applications claiming to be “antivirus” are merely detecting what has the potential to be malware, something that a developer of an application may have snuck into the software code that is meant to steal data or interact with the device in such a way as to cause it to send premium SMS messages at the victim’s expense. This is more correctly defined as being a Trojan or form of spyware, but given the years of conditioning by security firms “Virus” sounds a lot scarier.

Common Senseless
Although these detection capabilities may be marginally useful to the end user, they do not by any stretch of the imagination fit the definition of an “antivirus” or replace common sense – that is to say, being cautious about which applications you download and then carefully reviewing the permissions for each application if you do install it.

Does that “Barney Wallpaper” app you download really need access to your contacts, call history and location?


A link about the so-called "massive vulnerability on 99% of Androids"
Keep your pants on: A reality check about this latest Android malware scare - 2013-07-08
Excerpt:
QUOTE
That's certainly the case with our latest doom and gloom story -- a fright-inducing app signature vulnerability brought into the public eye by a new security company called Bluebox (which, like almost every company that releases scary-sounding info about Android threats, is a business built around the sales of Android security software -- go figure).

In the meantime, as is usually the case in these scenarios, there's absolutely no cause for alarm. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whether you're surfing the Web on your PC or getting online from your phone, a little caution and some common sense will go a long way in keeping you safe from the big, bad virus monsters lurking around our virtual worlds.

shadowzephyr,Oct 2 2013, 10:03 AM

Well, here's my step.

Apex, Homescreen setting:
1. Portrait grid, set 9 row and 7 column
2. Icon size to 80%.
3. Tick Use tablet UI mode
4. Tick Transparent notification bar
5. Set Show persistent search bar to Never
6. Tick Hide icon labels

Apex, Dock setting:
Should automatically set to Off (because we already set to tablet UI)
If, you want to enable Dock setting back to On, then it's no problem.
Just tick "hide dock divider" to remove the divider.

Apex, Theme setting:
Of course, select ClickUI.  tongue.gif  (Kindly noted that this is not free)

Well, your theme is almost complete. Just insert Zooper Widget Free (4 x 3), select ProgressClock, and you're done!  thumbup.gif

Mods

To flash these mods you need custom recovery such as Philz, TWRP or CWM.

Of course we know that this will trip knox. So for those that wanna keep knox 0x0, flash using Flash Gordon.

It uses a new way to flash zip files without needing a custom recovery. Best of all, it is knox safe meaning it will not trip knox. Tested by myself.

But of course with this new knowledge do not go and do foolish stuff like flashing a custom kernel even though you can. tongue.gif

Confirmed working on stock rom without tripping knox.

CSC Feature
CSC is a bunch of codes found in your /system/csc folder that controls what region gets what feature. With root you can edit either others.xml or feature.xml files to activate/deactivate these features
Refer here some codes from Note 2 forum. CSC Codes

For now these codes are working for me:
Add subsymbol to samsung keyboard
CODE
<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>de;en_US;en_GB</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>


Language code to go with it. (language_country)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Note: I notice you only need to key in the language code on note 3. You can omit the country code except on languages that are available in a few countries like english and chinese.

Turn of camera shutter and focus sound. This will add a menu in your camera settings to turn it off.
CODE
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>


All apps in Pen Window. This one is easy cos there is an app available.

Hmm, seems like I will hold my horse first and decide later if I should flash this kitkat. Too many things to give up.

WiLyi antt00 Now the only way to make all S View work is using the original Samsung S View Flipcover chip.

With this method the Spigen SlimArmor case is working but the menu button to turn on will not work as original one don't have this feature.

Yalo, in this case also means Spigen never acquire license from Samsung, after I peel off I just know Samsung chip design is different. Spigen chip design totally same as those counterfeit one.

Remember Tick Phone Bootloader Updates.

Read your comments in xda thread but not very clear

So you already tried the original s view chipset on the SGP SAV, but the s view still not functioning?
Even with this mod only home button will wake the phone in s view mode?
Appreciate if you could clarify further

I already pre ordered the SAV, but now really not sure whether to cancel it due to this kit kat glitch

On second thought maybe you can help me since you are on kitkat.

Can you run this with terminal
CODE
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/unbrick.img bs=1024 count=168960


And then upload the unbrick.img for me somewhere.

Hi all.

I've bought a view cover online.

When I call my phone, nothing is displayed on the transparent screen. I have to manually check it via the power button.

Is it supposed to behave like that?

Tq.

To use KitKat, we must flash the bootloader, is it? So cannot use MOP now?

Sorry sorry. I was wrong.

It's the WhatsApp message actually. When someone WhatsApp, it will not show on the screen. Is it expected?

Call and normal message working.

Also I cannot clear the missed call notification from the transparent screen itself even I press X after opening the alert.

Tq

Read your comments in xda thread but not very clear

So you already tried the original s view chipset on the SGP SAV, but the s view still not functioning?
Even with this mod only home button will wake the phone in s view mode?
Appreciate if you could clarify further

I already pre ordered the SAV, but now really not sure whether to cancel it due to this kit kat glitch

It is working just can't turn on the S View screen using that bottom center button.

Really flash wont trip Knox? You mean flash with Odin ? Coz I'm very worried if it trip, I might lose my warranty.

The phone show some symptom of display problem about few times. Like the display turned to greenish, and sometime screen error. So I'm guessing sooner or later I'll have to send it for warranty until the problem rise again and become very serious trouble.

Thats why I'm worried about flashing the phone.

Then don't do, send for service is better choice.

Flash stock firmware won't trip via Odin, but will once you root it due to new bootloader.

But for your case, why wait? I will immediate send for service.

Andrew..to be confirm again...I'm in X-Note v7 with MJ1 bootloader.....will it trip knox if im updating Poland KK using PC-Odin?

Won't but from future, any day you plan to root will trip.

Also after update to this KitKat, they is no way to downgrade to older any 4.3 ROM as your bootloader already update to newer which currently only that 4.4.2 Poland ROM work.

Then don't do, send for service is better choice.

Flash stock firmware won't trip via Odin, but will once you root it due to new bootloader.

But for your case, why wait? I will immediate send for service.

I wish I have evidence of the symptom(like taking photos of it). Sometime it happens, sometime it doesn't. Dunno the people at the service center will believe me :\

If you at X-Note 7.0, then you need to install that auto brightness fix as original had been broken by the developer.

i had the greenish effect thingy before when using my note 1 after the firmware upgrade. its like suddenly the colors got inverted and everything turned green and white turns blue and also only happens from time to time... something like polarized effect.. i managed to fix it by doing a hard reset which the matter went away and never came back again..maybe you can try that

i think most people are confused whether this will trip knox or not.

flashing the official ROM will not trip knox.

it is when you are on kitkat and you root, it will trip knox because of the new bootloader.

Yalo, a lot still unsure or don't get it.

Here attached scenario on when the knox get trip or not.
  • Flash stock ROM officially or not - won't trip knox.
  • Officially phone came with MJ1 or older - root won't trip knox.
  • Officially phone came with MJ7 or later - root will trip the knox.
  • Officially phone came with MJ1 but later officially updates to MJ7 and later - root will trip the knox.
  • Officially at MJ1 and update any firmware exclude KitKat ROM using Mobile Odin - root will remain and won't trip the knox.
  • KitKat cannot update via Mobile Odin as new bootloader required and will trip the knox once you root it only.
  • Install any custom recovery and custom kernel will trip the knox.

if i update to kitkat, how can i retain my apps and data in my phone?

or if it will wipe my apps, how can i restore or  backup without ROOT?
*
If you're on stock MJ7...you can straight away flash the Poland official stock firmware via Odin.
It won't trip Knox and your apps will still be intact..I think.

Though it good if you make a full wipe after flashing major update...ICS > JB > KK

Maybe you got too many things running in background. Kitkat frees up more ram from the system but eventually it will still be used up if you keep to many things running theoretically. tongue.gif

No, it won't trip knox.

KNOX will ONLY be tripped if
1. Flash custom recovery
2. Root for firmware higher than MJ3

Flashing stock official firmware via PC ODIN won't trip knox

Need to tick Phone Bootloader Update else it will stuck at Recovery page when the phone restart. Mine happen like that as when 1st time I flash I didn't tick it.

It is better tick, some user face this issue, some not, I think those using custom ROM before with custom recovery will facing this issue.

I am using the final Poland ROM not the leak one, it is single file but mine need to tick else I stuck at Recovery page. I also no idea why it behave different for different user. Some stuck some not when not ticking that.

I read XDA, certain user will stuck at that, maybe is Odin version issue or whatever, but mine also v3.09, the firmware I download from samsung-updates.com not sammobile one.

My 1st flash without ticking the Phone Bootloader Update - stuck at recovery page.
2nd flash I tick it, successful.

Aargh. The pain.

Any other suggestion? No KitKat for now, I see that MicroSD is not usable and root will cause knox to be tripped.

That the easier way, else you need to know check one by one which apps that actually cause it.

Ya, some issue on Knox, include that external SD card issue and only root can solve it. As for S View issue, need wait somebody hack it else only Genuine Samsung version will work.

Yep, it not even allow you to write something on it, it will prompt something like "disk full".

Unless you root it and trip the knox, then this issue will be solved.

After you use Samsung original chipset, all is working as usual except turn on the phone via Home button as this function is never there in Samsung one.

Have u tried removing your card see if it helps? Sounds like a problem with media scanner or memory card corruption

Previous install apps will work. But when you try to do following will fail.

- Titanium backup to SD Card will show fail.
- Multiple select photos for deletion at QuickPic also fail.
- Copy/Move data using third party browser, example Root Explorer.

and etc.

I change my statement on KitKat SDcard issue.

Flashing kitkat now will make the external SD almost useless. You will not be able write in certain process, example moving/copying data via third party explorer, multiple photos select for deletion at QuickPic, backup using Titanium Backup. No issue save camera photos on it or playback games in SD card.

Due to the changes in Kitkat and most probably knox container, many previous methods not 100% functioning. Many reported that EFS could backup fine but unable to restore.

Not sure if custom 4.3 kernel works with 4.4 or not. So far no custom 4.4 kernel as Samsung haven't release any source code yet

Or you may try out AOSP rom. ProBam seems very popular

jumps to 1.01GB/2.71GB after few minutes (running some stuff in the BG i suppose)

not like it matters though brows.gif

found out there's a new option called:

Process stats within Developer's settings

it states:

Background apps from the last (in my case) 4h 10m
The status of your device memory is currently normal

Not sure if custom 4.3 kernel works with 4.4 or not. So far no custom 4.4 kernel as Samsung haven't release any source code yet

Or you may try out AOSP rom. ProBam seems very popular

I read XDA people mention no AOSP ROM is working as all base in 4.3 bootloader.

I don't feel that, it is center in line when compare with the battery icon. But mine is custom font, so can't really sure how original look like.

which font?

with stock font it looks centered

but with

helveticanueuecondensed57 or robotocondensed-regular

it is really skewered noticeably up (top of the font is similar with the bottom of the touch point of the battery if it were a real battery)

I know what your problem is. You are on 4.3 and using latest cfroot meant for 4.4.2. You need to search for older version of cfroot not the latest.

Duhh..am really blur using script or edit/copy/paste/replace anything via Explorer. Tried replace the platforms.XML and end up losing all my My Files visibility. Do a factory reset also no joy. Lastly need to reflash again the KitKat full firmware and do a full wipe....sigh doh.gif

Any other way so the external sdcard can be fully usable..? :sweat.gif

As I just noticed the thread is rated as average 3 stars it seems it is not appreciated by the users. Meaning for me that is just a waist of time for me to post my personal stuff here. From now on I keep it just for me.
Thread closed by me.

1. Go to system
2. I find the platform.xml using search when inside the system
3. Click on the file and choose SE editor.
4. Find the extsdcard column and then add the group line.
5. Click the save icon on top right.
6. Reboot.

Am using Root Explorer..done the edit/add and save.
Am only add the <group gid="media_rw />
Save it then reboot.

Now the TiBu file that stored inside my extsdcard can be use BUT MOP still cannot read the extsdcard...only internal storage is possible.

Do you use MOP..? Can your MOP read the extsdcard..?

Previous install apps will work. But when you try to do following will fail.

- Titanium backup to SD Card will show fail.
- Multiple select photos for deletion at QuickPic also fail.
- Copy/Move data using third party browser, example Root Explorer.

and etc.

Prices for this phone changes every week due to supply n demand factors
Official retail at Samsung is rm2399 though some outlets will sell at rm2299
Two weeks back some online 3rd party sellers quoting rm1.9-2.0k but prices now seem to creep up back to rm2k range
I suggest you google at lelong.com n garage sales lowyat to get a better idea of pricing
AP sets you can get around rm1.8-1.9k

You must install official one before you install Sweet ROM else it won't boot due to new bootloader required.

I never care what OP said need wipe, I only wipe when phone gone crazy, else don't wipe.

That's the old interface they were testing. New version is another interface.

You need that version 4.0.0.26.3 if you want that interface.

You can download from here

My Note II's cable nearly torn apart when I'm in China now. Got so pissed off as it can't charge my phones properly.

Went to Taobao and bought 3 sets of chargers (cable+adapter), reached the office today. Straight opened up the packaging and started using one of the sets, extremely pleased with it. 1800 all the way and it only costs RMB 22 per set.

What's more the packaging is damn good and looks really original. The seller claimed it is original, I don't bother it as I need all three sets for my travels. biggrin.gif

The circuit design is completely different as I had peel off mine, and I even took off the extra plastic that cover the circuit part.

Original one is more advance design circuit, not like those counterfeit or Spigen. Yes! Spigen use counterfeit design.. damn meh...

Well , if 1 brand can become successful by locking everything down , others will try to follow as well . Put it this way , how many users bricked their phones when samsung was "lose" on their policy ? There was a time , SME allows u to claim even when u r rooted or on custom rom . Thanks to ppl flashing G roms and non G roms on different version of their phones , bricking their phones during G2 era , requiring a motherboard change , SME revised their warranty policy . Sure , its not users fault since Samsung themselves made 2 variants of the same model but inexperienced users should at least try to understand what they r doing b4 actually doing it .

Well , if 1 brand can become successful by locking everything down , others will try to follow as well . Put it this way , how many users bricked their phones when samsung was "lose" on their policy ? There was a time , SME allows u to claim even when u r rooted or on custom rom . Thanks to ppl flashing G roms and non G roms on different version of their phones , bricking their phones during G2 era , requiring a motherboard change ,  SME revised their warranty policy . Sure , its not users fault since Samsung themselves made 2 variants of the same model but inexperienced users should at least try to understand what they r doing b4 actually doing it .

Actually Samsung fault on releasing too many variant in same model.

Now even worst, you see how could Samsung use same model number N9005 for Hong Kong variant which never can flash others country ROM due to it is different, at least it is only 16GB. Even user with 32GB Hong Kong variant also can't flash others international country N9005 ROM.

A lot Hong Kong user had soft brick the phone when KitKat Poland out. Lucky got Sweet ROM v7, now those Hong Kong user the only choice to save their phone is flash in Sweet ROM v7, else they need either send back to SC or wait until Hong Kong initially release KitKat ROM for that variant.

Use official file explorer, everything work.

But it won't work at Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, multi-select deletion in QuickPic and etc.

my es file manager can browse into the external SD, but cannot perform delete a sing file, while official MyFile have no problem.

btw, this afternoon, i juz flashed it to KitKat with official Poland (single file).
no problem through out the flashing.

but i do have the rotation problem while running WAZE. but after a few restart, update my samsung apps. and untick those smart samsung gestures or whatever hightech samsung features, and retick.

then restart, and everything fall back nicely with full features.

however, in my official gallery, i noticed the picture rotate really really slow. have to wait 1-2 second b4 it rotate, unlike previously which will perform simultaneously.
