Something missing with Lollipop 5.0 on SM-N900 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I upgraded my SM-N900 recently to Lollipop 5.0 (PDA:N900XXUEBOC4, CSC:N900ODDEBOB2), some features missing and I don't know if that is normal in this version or not, for example:
* One-Handed operation not working, I tried to swipe many times from right to left and vise versa with no luck
* I can't select a default number for a single contact if this contact has more than one mobile/phone number
the previous mentioned features were working well with KK4.4.2,
so any one already have same version and can test then help me ?

Hello, any idea ?

I9500 S Planner Lollipop - events duplicate/copy .

Hi all,
I am on I9500 with the Omega v28 5.0.1 LP. Unfortunately, the S Planner app that I am so much used to use was changed on the new LP ROM.
I am not concerned about the interface or the widget changes. I am missing the events duplicate/copy option.
On the previous S Planner versions the user was able to choose any event on any given date, long click and choose copy/duplicate to different date.
As for now, I can only choose edit or delete the event. As for duplicating / copying - it is simply not there.
I have checked several friends phones all on LP android - different brands / different models - the do have an option to copy / duplicate the events.
I have used this feature very often and looking for the option to get it back with the Omega LP ROM.
Is there a way I can reflash the updated S Planner app with the copy / duplicate option available through the recovery on the currently installed ROM ?
Tried to search the forum - could not find the solution.

Changing Button and Recen Apps Behavior

Hi!
I have a rooted Note 4 with Sweet rom installed.
I want to know how to change the button an recent apps behavior.
In S4, the button use to open recen app list and is you pressed on the left of it it would open the context menu. In Note 4 the button does not open the recent app and if you press on the left of it it will open recent apps.
Is there anyway I can change that? I guess you can but I dont know how, does anyone knows how to do that?
Thank you!!!
There where some mods that did do that but it been along time since I saw them so I am guessing they only work with a very early build of 5.0.1 or even 4.4.4 but I don't think it will work on 5.0.2 or 5.1.1.
A rom or two supported that as well which still are being updated to newest firmware but I do not know if they still support that feature and nor do I remember what the roms where called. But if you ain't lazy then you'll find it.
I'd your room is deodexed and supports Xposed, you can do that easily

Help me save my old Samsung Note3 (bought from UAE)

Hello Friends,
I have been hanging around for a while now. I tried my hand few times to update my Samsung note3, as Official service is not provided to phones bought from outside India. Sadly.
Current ROM that I flashed was in 2015. But it is unstable. It changed a lot on my phone,
like my model no now looks like - SM-G9250, (originally it was SM-N900) only.
Details of my phone are:
Android Version: 5.0.2
Baseband Version: N900XXUENG1
Kernel version: 3.4.39-5466072
Build Number: Aurora.Full-G9200.Port.No.4.2
Important: Phone is Samsung Note 3 (Exynos)
My question is simple:
Please help me find best / suitable ROM that my device can happily run. Without any Google Service Errors.
If possible, please point me towards instructions about what to do and how to do. Technically I am little confused seeing all the choices here in forum.
Thanks and Regards,
Praveer.
Come on Guys, Help me out. No one has any answer ?
Update fro my side
===============
I tried using [7.1.x|SM-N900| Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 (ha_3g)], I find myself in particular problem, after flashing ROM, GAPPS and SU binaries, the Google Music stops just when I begin to set up the phone (It happens when language is getting selected), upon going further, the "Google Play Services" stop when I am trying to setup the Google A/C, just after setting up wifi on my phone.
Actions taken so far:
===============
I have tried flashing ROM again and again (must be more than 10 times and counting), I have tried flashing ROM + GAPPS before flashing SU. I then tried ROM+SU and then GAPPS. I flashed ROM with GAPPS (Pico) too. The verisons of GAPPS used so far now are SUPER, STOCK & PICO.
Out of all combinations, Pico gives me least headace. But Google Play Service Framework should be same in all packages, right ? In either case, I am always greeted by "Google Music has stopped" just before I begin phone setup.
Plus I noticed when I did factory reset+cleaned internal storage+cache, I always get "E: Resource (front) -(fixed) failed to load" message in logs.
Do this error creating problems in flashing GAPPS ?
Also, Can some one please tell me what should be partitions on the phone (Samsung Note 3 (SM-N900)) Exynos based ? Maybe I have wrongly configured phone setup ! After all, I have tested so many ROMS over last 3-4 years, that I have forgotten the original partitions detail.
Regards,
PrankSter.
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Note 3 Q&A for more relevant answers.
Good luck
If you flashed a custom rom then logic says ask in that thread .

What is the model # in download mode?

P8 for android 5 or 6? which advice are you?

ı use huawei p8 gra l09
use android version 5.0.1 lolipop b211
which advice version you are?
battery-camera-performance which better than version?
I'd recommend in the interest of security, always install the latest update available for your phone. If you update to Marshmallow, 'Pro' camera settings will become available (please see this thread for more details: P8 camera metering mode question).
When you check via Settings > Update, are you being offered any updates at all?
If not, first we need to determine what updates (if any) exist for your phone, so start by telling us the full 'Build number' mentioned in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format (or similar): GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.
And also what region & vendor the phone's from - using your dialler, enter *#*#2846579#*#* to access the Project Menu > 3. Network Information Query > 4. Vendor Country info. What does it say against Vendor: xx & Country: xx?

marshmallow is more responsive and for most users it has much better battery life, other than that, Android 6 has also pro camera options and better UI of system, if you are rooted or are going to root your device, i highly recommend to flash ARROW rom, best battery life, fixed few things that stock rom has fully working or are buggy etc
Marshmallow gives better battery life for people who struggled with battery drains on Lollipop. If your Lollipop is fine Marshmallow will reduce battery life. It also kills switching between last used apps by holding the multitaslking button, limits the amount of shortcuts to 9 (basically 8, one spot is occupied by "settings")..
Android 6 has more camera modes and 5x5 screen layout, but the FB Messenger Chat-heads and notifiactions did not worked for me, so i rolled back to Android 5.1, and then it works. But 5.1 has only 4x4 screen layout, which is really annoying after 5x5. But the matter is on Messenger.

Making GearVR Controller Work with Note 4 possible ?

Hi, i have been searching this for a while , i have a note 4 running on stock rom 5.1.1 where i recently got a vr headset with controller where i realized they deny the controller to work with the note 4 despite the headset works just fine .
By researching i get to see that there were suggestions to either install a specific apk or root and change build.prop device number to another device then reinstall gearvr services , then i saw additional posts that both methods stopped working , due to system updates that would either ignore the outdated apk or bootlooping rooted devices .
So I came to think how about ported roms then i came to see posts claiming ported roms do not support gearvr etc .
Now i really need an expert opinion about this , were you ever able to use the controller with note 4 910c 5.1.1 ? if so what's the right way to it ? if through a port please specify which along with the cons of the port over the stock rom , i have read on most ports i googled complains that most sensors are broken with ports etc but non specify if gyroscope still work or not on those so i am a little lost here . any help is appreciated and thanks in advance !
