Sprint Note 3 root VS Sprint Note 2 Root - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

A few questions for the experts here if I may?
I rooted my Sprint Galaxy note 2...Now I have louder volume, no camera shutter click and wifi tether.
I kept my original ROM, does this mean I can receive normal OTA updates?
I used ODIN and openrecovery TWRP but still when I boot to recovery it does not say TWRP just the standard Android recovery screen, though I am still 100% rooted just don't know why I don't see twrp page, How do I erase root and temporarily go back to original factory state? And, will "counter" be reset to Zero? what screen is that counter on too?
If I do go back to factory state...will overridden files replaced in sys/etc still be there or go back to original?
I have noticed battery drain has increased too.
Is there other things I can do without a custom rom that would amaze me ?
Lastly, is there a Loudness hack for Sprint Note 3? I don't hear about a default_gain.conf file and note 3 loudness is weak.
*******I just realized this is not a question area on xda, I apologize in advance and thanks********

Your thread will be moved by a admin. So no worries on that. What ROM are you using? Cmod...PA...or aokp? Each has different mods. If your custom ROM has acid audio, DSP manager and a couple other apps, those are what you use to make sound louder or quieter at least in my experience. As for your battery drain that sometimes happens if you don't flash a kernel to go with your custom ROM once you have that your battery life should level out. Try and find a kernel that supports over clocking and under volting. For example I'm running 2100 charge and a 1600 performance takes about a hr to fully charge runs buttery smooth and lasts 2-3 days. As for your twrp problem try flashing clockworkmod then twrp to see if its just a twrp problem. I personally prefere cwm cause its more stable in my opinion. If you use Odin to reflash stock then everything should be replaced fully to stock. Hope that helps

[Q] Battery drain with overheating

Hi guys,
I have a serious problem here with the latest cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly 4.3 ( cm-10.2-20130928-NIGHTLY-i9300 ) because once i finish installing it the right way following exactly this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKKKCXmYxpI&noredirect=1,
then i saw that the battery starts to drain so fast and the temp is about 45°C !!!!
and when i charge it i goes around 48c° in few minutes !
before i had the touchwiz 4.1.2 build and this is the first time i use a custom rom, the temp in touchwiz was limited at 40°c or less in full use and charge, but here in cyanogenmod a fresh one without apps and games etc, once i start something like video or activating wifi, the temp starts to increase and battery is going crazy !
What's going on ? i heard many good things about cyanogenmod builds and now i'm so disappointed, i know it is blazing fast but the important thing here is the battery and temp because before i told myself touchwiz is worst, is it a wrong temp value or the real one, because it was really hot from the back !
Before i install cynaogenmod i did a backup with CWM touch recovery and i hope you can give me advice on how to restore it the right way (i'm noob at samsung s3 forgive me )

go to recovery> backup and restore> restore>select the backup file you have. so simple as you do.
:good:
Yeah i did it but with pain : the backp didnt shows up since cm has changed the cwm folder path, so i had to cut my backup to the new path of cwm using root explorer and install the latest cwm recover build ( i had the 5.5.0 )...after this i did a clean restore and back to touchwiz with a reasonnable temp and great sound quality... maybe you can guide me to a good custom cyanogen with the best kernel for temp and sound too

[Q] Anyone have a copy of the ics devil kernel/recovery?

I'm using the Aokp m6 rom but from my understan
ding, it doesn't come with a recovery? it says I have stock recovery in my recovery tools apk. I have the glitch kernel/recovery that I use on M5 but last night when I wiped my cache/dalvik cache it threw me for a bootloop and I apparently didn't have any recovery installed? I have the twrp open script recovery that I can use on the m6 rom but I like all of the extra options on the devil recovery. thanks in advance!
are you using the old official M6 with Glitch or the Devil M6? you might want to use the devil m6 build if you want devil
Well I have the Milestone 5 that is glitched and the milestone 6 that comes with the devil kernel but I'm looking for the devil kernel/recovery that's in a zip file that I can flash through cwm recovery like I have for aokp m5 which contains the glitch recovery and what not. Because when I did a factory reset on the aokp m6devild rom,i was stuck with no recovery. Or did I just do something wrong?

as far as I know, most of those type will not work for the fascinate,,, but I have not looked at that one,,,
our recovery is also packaged with the boot partition and cannot be flashed/installed separately, which is how most of these tools work.

thanks hhp, that's what I was looking for. Actually it was a collection of old roms you uploaded that I've been getting everything from. Am I crazy for wanting to use ICS? I read reports of people loving their jb roms on their fassy and claiming 2days without charging but I literally have to walk arounaround with my charger on every jb rom I've tried. Do you have any suggestions on whether I should use gb or ics for the most battery life? I don't care so much about tweaks anymore, I just want my phone to not die on me everywhere I go. And is glitch or devil better for battery life?

yay i'm not alone. been using ICS for a while now and I myself have been trying different things for.. gee some time. right now i'm running the official milestone 6 (glitch, devil doesn't like my phone) and i've been trying to get decent battery life for a while.. trying calibration crap even though that's been confirmed a myth, wiped battery stats too many times to count, ugh... i did get 2 days of moderate usage at one point with AOKP.
but yeah as i said devil doesn't like my phone so i'm stuck (even though glitch is amazing). i'm not too much of an overclocker and i haven't even changed governors and i get 2 days of light usage usually.
how much battery do you get? apparently you use gummy.. i've never been a big gummy person. just my 2 cents
@GarrettVW67 I really got nothing for you on that one. I get 4-6 hours of heavy usage. And I'm 98% time beside a power outlet and usually less than 2 hours without charging access.
And I like having compatibility with all the current apps

[Q] Battery issues I can't decipher

Noob android modder...
HTC unlocked and rooted my Rez back in late Dec 13. I have had battery issues ever since. I know (through extensive reading these forums and others) this isn't due to root. And my issues are beyond battery, No ROM I have tasted has been stable. Tachyon ION, Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod 11....similar issues with each, some worse than others. I downloaded BetterBatteryStats yesterday to try and diagnose this, but I am skeptical this is the problem. Biggest issue: battery doesn't give a true reading of its charge, or the rom running (again, all of them) can't accurately read the battery. Case in point: yesterday I wiped phone and installed the cyanogenmod 11 from NEO. I installed better battery stats and fully charged. Battery lasted less than 2 hrs. Plugged in at 10% and let charge for a few hrs. When I unplugged, cyanogen tells me that battery has 44% charge. After immediate reboot, battery shows 94% charge. This has been consistant over the different ROMS.
The other big problem is the constant reboots I experience. Many apps seem to overload the system and forced reboots happen. I realize that I am likely the problem, but I can't seem to figure out why.
I apologize, I know its an old bit, complaining about battery life after root, but compounded with the instability of the ROMS...I suspect I am doing something wrong that I haven't figured out.
Questions:
1. Do I need to manually flash a kernel after/before flashing a ROM?
2. Does being S-ON have anything to do with this?
3. Any tips?
I appreciate any help

Answers to your first two questions:
1) After (although it S-ON it technically shouldn't matter)
2) No
Here are some tips, this could be as simple as a battery going bad, i consider a replacement one, either original HTC or Laza would be my recommendation. Also, I would consider going S-OFF, then going through @REV3NT3CH's full downgrade/upgrade guide from start to finish, this seems to be fix for many "odd" issues in the Rezound, I can't really explain why and it somewhat defies logic to downgrade to the oldest version of software available and then upgrade step-by-step through every version, but it has definitely shown it's value as a working solution to many issues.
I kind of suspect a battery, charger, charge port, bad cable, or even dirty/tarnished contact here though... three hours on the charger on a good stock battery that is charging correctly should bring it near full after 3-4 hours, if you are only getting it to 44% something is not right.

That's the thing, it says 44% when I pull it off the charger, but if I reboot it, it says 90%+. Multiple cables/ports have been used. Same issue.
Regarding your statement about flashing a kernel post ROM flash, I attempted this with Tachyon and the fuzzy kernel yesterday. ROM installed as expected, it crashed a few times while installing backups from Titanium, and then I flashed the Fuzzy kernel. After the kernel flash the phones screen wouldn't work....I believe the phone was booting, but no screen, just LED notificaion light. Thats when I started over with the Cyanogenmod 11 ROM, which has been the most stable.
Thanks for the advice, I will likely attempt your suggestion about downgrading/upgrading.

Always use the kernel that comes with a ROM, until you know it's stable and unless you have a good reason to switch... it is the best match to the ROM and the benefits you get from another kernel are generally marginal at best unless you need a specific feature that is not included in the ROM's kernel.
Proper sequence when installing a ROM when S-ON would be to wipe everything but external SD, then flash ROM, immediately reboot into bootloader and start fastboot, flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then reboot. Any other sequence could give questionable results.
Using Titanium backup to restore information in between JB and KitKat (either way) is not recommended, even with root access TiBu has issues restoring into /system in KitKat. It is highly recommended to reinstall all apps from the Play Store and use something like SMS Backup & Restore to handle text message migration.
I would again recommend a new battery, and going S-OFF especially now that the "wire trick" is no longer required using Rumrunner or Firewater S-OFF, then going through the downgrade/upgrade process I mentioned earlier.
So I have been unsuccessful at getting Windows drivers working for my rez. HTC sync and Windows used to identify it, but after I originally rooted it back in Dec, I wiped my laptop clean and set up a dual boot. Since then I haven't been able to get HTC sync to identify the phone, and ADB only works if I am in the TWRP or bootloader. Same with mounting and moving files, recovery only. Since the rumrunner S-OFF exploit needs me to be in Android, I'm in a pickle.
Things I have tried:
Current HTC sync software (Doesn't recognize the phone)
Downloaded and installed the driver from the Rav3nt3ch guide mentioned earlier
Also tried the old version of HTC sync that is mentioned in the same article

to make sense of it. the reason it works is through some flashings or wrong deleteion of files the files that are integrated in system that a ROM does not have these RUU.exe files and OTA (ph98img.zip) files do have and repairs the phone to its neccesary needed state again. a good example to prove it is a typical rom is about 160mb in size and only contains bare necessities really..where as the ruu or ota is usually around 600mb in size and also full flashes the phone to proper partitions and such...as stated in my guide be sure to let phone fully boot and go through first setup of those particular roms....some people skip this step thus not activating their verizon service

Windows 7. The drivers worked fine back in December prior to me wiping my HDD and setting up a Ubuntu/Win 7 dual boot. I can use ADB just fine if the phone is at the bootloader/recovery. Its only the OS the causes a problem.
Yes, the phone does get quite warm, though since switching to CM11 both heat and battery have improved. Still unacceptable, but improved.
I'll attempt to wipe the battery stats after it charges back up, but I don't see that option in the TWRP 2.5.0.0 I have installed.
**//After being out this evening, I got home and plugged the phone in about 30 min ago. It was at 8% according to CM11. After rebooting into the recovery, TWRP informs me that there is a 66% charge.

Clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 is now my recovery, fully installed on the phone. I had been using cwm as the recovery img that I would fastboot boot, then install a ROM. But the actual recovery installed on the phone was TWRP 2.5. Might this be the underlying cause of much of my boggle?

on older twrp or miscompiled recoveries it will simply just read as 66% and stay there....a good example...phils touch needs this battery reading part fixed as well as it shows 66% for battery currently
6.0.3.6 installed. Hopefully this oversight is what it takes to improve my experience with android modding. Thanks for your help fellas.
I don't remember having this much trouble modding my old HTC tilt back in the day.
Flashing clockworkmod 6.0.3.6, reinstalling CM 11 via CWM and then flashing the boot.img seems to have fixed my battery issues. After a few days of use, battery is holding charge much better. A note on what I think I was doing wrong, for others:
-I had originally flashed TWRP 5.X
-Then I followed this article explaining how to install custom roms whlie s-on
-I then loaded the various custom roms via the above method with the CWM 6.0.3.1 (Listed on their website)
-Chaos insued
Don't do this.

[Q] Android 4.3 rooting on GTI 9305 on Three UK

Greetings,
I own a Galaxy S3 GTI 9305 on the Three UK network. that a while ago got upgraded to Android 4.3. The software update gets on my nerves and has numerous problems (such as no text message bleeps unless you set a text message bleep for someone) and eating battery life like there is no tomorrow unless you hoik the screen brightness down to nothing.
Needless to say, it's driving me up the wall and I want to install a custom ROM.
The phone has been flashed with Odin, and I used the boot recovery p workaround and SuperSU shows up. However, this super paranoid Knox software has a dislike to the SuperSU app and blocks it.
The phone comes up with ClockworkMod recover if you press volume up, menu and power and I have put a custom ROM and the Gapps file on there.
The thing is, will this phone be able to run the custom ROM as normal (on the basis of ClockworkMod being on there and apparently functioning ok) or is there further nasty surprises that will prevent me such as a locked bootloader?
Apologies for possibly asking this question ad nauseum on the basis that it may well have been asked before.

It's running on the latest firmware, and I still have problems. I absolutely hate it and want to run a custom ROM. What concerns me more is the possibility of a locked bootloader and being stuck with what Samsung and Three UK telling me what I should run on my phone.

yet another 'Best ROM' thread...

Hey guys,
Newbie here. I am very excited about my new yet to be received phone - X829 using EUI 5.8.016S (Stable).
I care about call quality, camera quality, sound quality using the CDLA technology headphones (in this order).
I don't consider myself a heavy user - I talk maybe 30 mins per day maximum, light web browsing, no gaming...
Should I stick to the stock rom supplied EUI 5.8.016S or is it worth upgrading to something else? Like, will a custom ROM yield better call quality, camera quality and sound quality than the stock rom?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi, i am also a X829 user and i would suggest you to try recently released EUI 6.0.030s, which has great battery life and network receiving, of course quite stable.Camera quality is also good.
This one is the same rom modified by CrisBallGreece that includes system adblocker by default and preinstalled magisk manager, removed unnecessary leeco apps and chinese garbage apps.
Here is the link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17dVqqd_kRZol6ORhvs_Ubri7xNldRLvw/view

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. How do I get the 'cleaned-up' version installed? Not familiar with either super su or magisk. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? The threads I found make reference to super su but can't download it from the official website. Sorry if this was already addressed in a different thread...
Thanks a lot!
Follow this link :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
First of all, you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp (a custom recovery mode, allows you flash rom).
Download rom and gapps then put them to your device, backup your data.Reboot to recovery mode.Press wipe - wipe data, go back and press install - find the rom you copied and flash it.Once the phone booted, go back to recovery and flash gapps in the same way then reboot.That's it.
This is the only way to flash any type of rom.
Btw, magisk is a root manager like the supersu, gives you root access of the system.
Hi,
Thanks for the very informative post. I got my phone yesterday and started to play with it As expected, I had some hard time installing the EUI 6 CBG version. I think it's because I installed a very recent (if not the most recent) version of TWRP...From memory, the one I installed is 3.2.2...Anyhow, EUI seemed to install fine and I got the success message displayed in TWRP along with the note 'phone will reboot in 5 seconds' or something like that - which never happened.
I then installed Lineage OS 15 Oreo because I didn't know how to downgrade TWRP.
So do you think that the problem I had was because of the TWRP version I used? how does one downgrade that?
Also, I installed the Gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577) but Google services gives an error message...'Google stopped working'. Is there a workaround for that?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi mate,
Right after that " phone will reboot ..." note, you should have rebooted the device by pressing and holding the power button for 8-9 secs and it would be fine.
No, latest twrp version works fine and is compatible with this firmware.
Hmm, you can try to delete the app data of google play services.Have you flashed the los 15 with full wipe ?
Btw los 15 is not mature enough.It still has some battery consumption problems and the battery life lasts not as long as EUI's. + I don't know if it has CDLA sound mod but it doesn't contain dolby digital sound.
Hi,
I believe I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data).
I will try again to flash EUI 6 by CBG tonight.
The workaround for gapps was to flash them at the same time with LOS 15. Previously I flashed LOS 15, rebooted into the system, went back to recovery twrp and then flashed the gapps.
Thanks!
Yeah, flashing the gapps with rom in a row is not a workaround, its a must-to-do.Unfortunately i forgot to mention this to you.Apologises..
Great, thanks a lot! it worked. I'm getting used to it right now. Will play with this ROM for a couple of weeks and then try something else...I was thinking SLIM7...any thoughts on it? have you tried it? any red flags?
Thanks!
I am also thinking to move that rom, but later.Well its the final version so no bugs.But i don't know if it supports cdla sound mod, do you know ?

Not sure if it supports CDLA...I tried this rom briefly the other day and I had a hard time with the camera...battery seemed to deplete quite fast, but I'm sure it can improved with different settings, greenify, etc...try it and let me know if you like it.
Which other roms have you tried?
Thanks!
Most non-eui roms will have slightly worse battery life making greenify an absolute must.
But if you want a non-eui rom (like me, I just hate eui) I recommend lineage 15.1 or du12 by infrag(my current rom).
Hi man, after a long time, I had a change to try different rom, named mokee 7.1.2 (nougat).Well, it's not bad, performance is excellent, not a single lag at all. Also the battery backup is good, not perfect as EUI but acceptable.
Pros of this rom are, it's being updated in a nightly period and Android security patch is dated as august 5 2018 !
You may check it out if you are interested..
Regards.
I am also on DU12 thinking to try 1 of Android P roms, is it time or to wait ?
