Download Booster not working? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Sprint Note 3, stock rooted lollipop. Debloated and heavily modded. When I enable Download Booster using the built-in toggle, I get the icon in my status bar, but it is dark. There also doesn't seem to be any change in my download speeds when I use it. I have heard that Sprint is disabling this? Any workaround /mod for this? Thanks in advance.

The onlt thing I remember about the download booster is you need to have a wifi presents established. Have you tried doing a nand/recovery backup, then going a fresh flash and seeing if it works then? I have messed up built-in functions before debloating and modding.

[ROM][FROYO]Wired CM MOD - Update 12/20/2010

Hey Guys, just after the release of my old ROM, this is a new ROM which is based on Froyo(2.2). I used the Cyanogenmod rom as base and i havent changed a lots except for some minor changes and few additions. The followings features are included:
Features
======
Stock Android UI
Busy-box
Rooted
SuperUser
NANO Editor
As Stable as CM
New Boot Animation
Froyo (2.2.1)
myTouch Music
New Android Market (Check Screenshots)
New Gingerbread Stock Keyboard (Check Screenshot)
Both Launcher Pro And Stock Launcher Included
Some Other Stuff
Removed Stuff
==========
Torchlight From CM
FileManager From cm (Get something from market if you need, that filemanager really bugged me so decided to remove, try ES File Manager, it rocks)
CM Boot Animation
Some other crapware
As this mod is derived from CM, most of the things (I think all) work properly, including wifi, bluetooth and everything else. If anyone finds any bugs or something wrong with the rom, please post it below.
How to install
=========
First root your phone using this method or this method.
Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.
If you dont get what i am saying, check this.
This rom asks you which launcher to use in the first boot, check the "Make Default" button and select the launcher of your choice, either launcherpro or default stock froyo launcher. I recomment launcherpro as it is really smooth and has no lags at all (i am using the same). And BTW, if you plan on using stock launcher and no longer want launcherpro on ur system, simply go to manage apps in settings and remove launcherpro as usual (yes, you can remove it). I havent dared to remove the awesome cyanogenmod settings menu because of its cool features and lots of additional functionalities. And the cyanogenmod wallpapers are intact as well.
How to make it look like the one in screenshot
==============================
First choose launcherpro at first boot and make it default.
then go to launcherpro settings (press menu on launcher and choose preferences) and appearance and change the dock's look to froyo wide
Then go back to launcher and long press the screen, and choose wallpaper, and go to cyanogenmod wallpapers and choose the wallpaper as shown in the screenshot.
Then arrange the icons in the same way and you are ready to go.
Enjoy Gingerbread Keyboard And The New Android Market With Lots Of Improvements.
Please let me know if something does not work. THanks
Update 12/20/2010: New Update Coming Very Soon! With WiFi And Tethering Working + More Features And More Stuff
[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] ]
I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with this rom and lets hope they will send the updates soon.
Download ROM
P.S. I can live without negative feedback. (<--Copied it from someone )
can i use headset control on this rom????????????????
OMG, i love this.
but the removal of some apps doesn't appeal to me.
Like file manager, Rom Manager, And the ability to wifi tether is gone.
I was able to wifi tether in the latest versions of CM, but it totally rids it of it in this rom.
Either than that, awesome rom.
Love the boot animation, keyboard, launcher. Keep up the good work. Hope to see more ROMs from you soon!

Wifi works - try reflashing it. Did you do a factory reset before flashing this rom? At minimum, clear your cache.
Using the headphones that came with this phone only works on the stock rom since it was a proprietary thing T Mobile did - why do people keep nagging about this issue?
Wifi tether isn't built into a rom. It a function but must be accesed by an .apk file. Download the latest wifi tether apk (2.0.5 rc1) and install it. BAM! wifi tethering in the palm of your hand.
"reflashing" it's you mean up again?? i wipe my device already. clear all data before up this rom but it's still not work

WiFi worked properly in the few mytouch slide's i tested the rom, and wifi tethering isnt inbuilt, but you can always download it and install it. And about the headphones, tmobile made the headphones to not work with anything other than the stock rom, sorry for that.

There's a good Tethering apk in this forum somewhere. You might need to go back a few pages, but you'll find it. :]
ALSO, yo OP, could you please push the Torchlight back onto the ROM in a future release? Torch is always fantastic...

Sharing Photos, Music, Videos with Smart TV

So I used to be able to bring up a picture and hit a small icon at the top left to beam the picture (or song, video) to my HDTV. I now don't see that option. Is there a setting for this? I did disable some samsung apps, is there one in particular that does this?
I think all share and svoice need to be installed. There could be more but those are the 2 I re-installed when I had that issue.
i re-enabled those but that didn't seem to work... do i need to re-install them somehow?
What ROM are you running? And did you disable or uninstall the apps? When I had this issue I was running a beans build and reflashed aroma and selected them during the setup.
And I assume you've already tried hitting menu and search for nearby devices?

Gotcha. Did you restart the phone (and maybe even your router and tv) after re-enabling everything? I rooted/unlocked on day one so not too familiar with the stock set up. Hope you get it figured out though

I restarted router and that worked!
What app does this? What apps are safe to disable and keep this feature? I really want to disable running apps like allshare. Not sure if this is allshare or wifi-direct? or just some other service.

[MOD][6/5] - Tether Hack

The Tether Hack and Tether hack with WiFi notification should work on stock rooted and stock de-odex I545VRUAMDK based ROMS.
If your rocking a custom ROM check with your ROM dev for changes to framework-res.apk BEFORE flashing this.
The other two mods, Remove E911 Icons, and disable Ongoing WiFi Noticiation NEED a de-odex ROM.
The orginal "Tether Hack doesnt always kill the WiFi Notification so I rebuilt the mods using a different method.
EDIT: One of the mods were removed because it caused GPS Issues.
Mods / Features
Tether Hack.zip
Adds Free tether for everyone
Removes ongoing WiFi Notification in status bar
Thanks to shoman94 for his help re-compiling framework-res. He has a good tut HERE!
Tether Hack - With WiFi Notification.zip
Adds free tether for everyone.
Keeps WiFi notification in the status bar
Remove E911 Icon.zip
Removed that hideous GPS icon in the status bar
Must be de-odex!
Make a back up before flashing!
You can use this Mod in your ROM or however you see fit just give credit please.
Thanks!

I am curious how you got this to complie and run. I tried removing com.samsung.sgp and the line below it from my framework-res. I even added the + to the different files that needed it. When I would recompile my phone would just sit at the verizon logo.
Did you do anything else besides adding the + to the layout lines?

Nice job! I see it removes the Wifi notification, does it add a toggle for the wifi with all the other toggles?

After posting the exact same question in the Q&A thread, I found it was because I needed to clear the cache/dalvik cache (maybe one or the other, but I did both).
I was able to successfully boot after doing so.

Compression has to be set to "None" on Samsung framework-res.apk
Thanks for posting this, both of the mods work great.
Just a quick question. With regards to the Tether Hack, how does this compare to apps like pdanet which bypass the subscription check but still seem to use the stock Wifi Hotspot? I don't know what exactly is happening behind the scenes with these other apps, if they do anything other than bypass the check. As an unlimited data user, is it "safer" to use pdanet or the other apps, or are you really just doing the same thing they provide without the need for another app?
Thanks again.
i already am using the widget to bypass the subscription check, just curious exactly what this tether hack does. also does it allow for USB tethering as well
nice mod!

I never used one of those apps so I cant honestly tell you what they do. However I can tell you what this one does...
It bypasses the Samsung tether check and just turns it on.
I have used this mod for quite some time and never had any one complain about being busted by Big Red... However AT&T and this mod will get you busted if you use it excessively.

It hacks the tether feature samsung put in the ROM to call upon another app to verify the subscription.
So instead of
1. Tether app start
2. Call App to check subscription
3. Return results to tether app
4. Tether... Or not Tether...
It goes...
1. Start tether app
4. Tether.
Steps 2 and 3 are removed from the framework of the ROM
Yes on USB and if I wasnt so damned lazy I could even do Bluetooth... But this is good enough for 99.99% of the people. Who the hell uses Bluetooth anyways... Damn kids and there fads :angel:

These apps are using something momentary (IE: The hack has to happen every time you push the *Big Friendly Button*) to bypass the check; I'm not sure what and I haven't had the opportunity/need to go digging into the how. I use Widgetsoid and it does the same thing.
This hack is permanent; it happens when you flash and doesn't require anything afterward. It allows you to use the included app on the phone without having to download any free apps that might have limits or ads and there's no paid version (FoxFi, for example). It means there are less "moving parts" involved, and theoretically, there are fewer things that could go wrong.
As for is one "safer" than the other...I'll assume you mean any less likely to get you in trouble...and the answer is no. They're achieving the same thing through different methods; one's just a bit "cleaner" than the others.
EDIT: Didn't see Scott's post...damn pages. Still relevant, I think.

It will work fine. We used the exact same method to override the WiFi notification.
However after further testing... If you download something it will come back.

Is it possible to implent the smart stay notification removal hack. Currently, I have to choose between the RWC95 hack (ongoing wifi and smart stay) and yours.

Which app are you using to tether?
Hi Scott,
Thanks for developing the Clean Rom!
I've used your clean rom on the S3 and the S4 and I must admit it's some good stuff you've developed. :laugh:
I've installed this tether hack but after reading this thread, I'm not clear on what app you are using to tether?
Is it the mobile hotspot app from the Big Red?
Or does Samsung have their own separate tethering app?
I know it's a newbie question, but any info would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Where is the tether app icon? I can't find it anywhere...
Is this the TrevE tether?
What exactly does this do since we already have a hot spot with this phone?
Also, when flashing do the cache's need to be wiped?

Looking to enable the hotspot functionality on my Note 3. I am currently rooted, though no custom recovery. How would I go about getting a native hotpot mod without installing a custom recovery? Im not opposed to installing one, but ive read that it trips Knox.

TRUE, TRUE. If you install a recovery it will trip KNOX. your best bet is to go to Google play store and install the Paid version of hotspot tether it works, and the developer is could at keeping it up to date. Ya, your our out a couple of bucks but that's better than the $30 monthly fee from sprint. OR, you can flash through a RECOVERY a deodexed version of NC5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664 THEN flash through a RECOVERY this free hotspot mod here http://kitkatkiller.eu/index.php?dir=SPRINT+GALAXY+NOTE+3/KITKAT+FILES/MODS/NC5 ENJOY !!!

I couldn't get SPCutility to work on freezas fre3 2.16b. Am I missing something or is there another utility that works?

Sorry, the one i linked works on nc5d 100% but in portrait mode only. I dont know anything about whats in fre3 2.16b rom. Sounds like you have custom recovery... backup and odin a stock tar then restore once youve grabbed your msl or maybe just call sprint to save yourself time.
Something I used to do back in the Hero and Evo 3d days was get my MSL and add it as a contact. Unfortunately, I didn't do that on the Note 3. Glad to see SPCUtility was upgraded to work on NC5. Now to make sure I always have my code. Do what you want with that tip. Thanks idone for all the neat stuff you are finding.

Any reason to root?

Without the availability or customs roms and kernels, are there any reasons to root a Galaxy Tab S3? Which bloatware have you uninstalled in your GTS3 after rooting?
I normally install custom roms and kernels for the improved battery life and overall performance improvement that many of these roms offer.

I rooted for cf.lumen but after freezing a lot of apps using sd maid, my screen on time is 10 hours with wifi always on and minimal brightness to still see the screen. Although i didnt check my screen on time before i froze all those apps...

I agree, I went back to not rooted and pray for OTA updates, even it's naive
If i ever going to root, one of the main factor would be for GMD gestures. Couple of finger swipes to close apps, lock screen, switch apps adds tremendous amount of button freedom and control.
I'm going to rooting to get complete control of memory (internal and SD) and app authorizations...

Mattered a lot more to me when Android was a lot less mature. Nowadays, Marshmallow is pretty solid. Add in Macrodroid or Tasker and call it a day. And Nova supports gestures.

We can disable bloatware with ADB?
I use Netflix on this, so root isn't worth the trouble to get Netflix working.

Not with ADB. You'll need an app like titanium backup or adaway for ad blocking. But both need root. But you're correct, getting netflix to work is a little bit of a pita.

Another option: I'm using Disconnect Pro and it seems to work fine. It has to be sideloaded though.
I rooted my Tab S3 for 4 main reasons:
1. Adaway
2. Viper and Dolby Atmos and boost sound the way I like it (and its big imrovement)
3. OGyoutube
4. to backup and restore with TWRP and Titanium

Get a number from Google Voice. Then install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer. Link Hangouts to your Google Voice number. You can text and make/receive calls with this combo. Working here for me.
Hello, how can i have root in tab s3?
Help me, Any link?
I want root for xda ads (at least)! The adds on main forum screens get so bad they'll block the screen from viewing the threads

Including the model# of your device is helpful to get proper direction.
If you have the SM-T820/825, this thread pertains to Root/Recovery (TWRP) for the devices I mentioned. If you have one of the devices, read the thread before asking questions:
