[Q] 9005 Kitkat Update - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was wandering if im missing something or did samsung not put it into their kitkat update. I thought Kitkat gave you a home launcher selection box in the settings now? I have seen it on the nexus 5. I thought this was a kitkat thing? Looked useful being able to switch launchers. Or am i missing it in the settings? Thx

You missed it. It's in the last tab of your settings under "default applications"

Nexus 4 on 4.3 dialer suggestions not working

Well I read that in the 4.3 update we were supposed to be able to start typing in the dialer and suggestions pop up as to who we are trying to call I waited for the OTA finally got it like a week ago but I noticed that, that feature does not work on my phone its basically just like it was on 4.2.2 I'm running stock unrooted. Is there a way I'm pose to enable it or something? I'm trying to get this resolved without having to factory reset my phone because it will erase my internal storage, any help will be greatly appreciated thanks

Have you tried GPS Status - Test & Fix from Google Play?

Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately those methods didn't work. I was outside with the phone for over 30 minutes and the "Searching for GPS" continued to show. The dr. ketan download fix shows Note 2 7100, however mine is the sprint version sph-l900. Would this make a difference? Thank you

I got mine to work by installing a TW ROM first getting a lock and afterward install PA android 4.3. I hope this helps. Make sure you have a lock first while your trying to install PA 4.3.

I'm not familiar with a TW ROM or PA android 4.3. I'm assuming it replaces CM10.2 completely?

[Q] Syncing Smart Watch with CM S4

Hey Guys,
I've recently rooted and installed Cyanogenmod on my S4, thinking that once I have 4.3 on there, I could now use my Samsung Smart Watch.
I managed to find a Galaxy Gear .apk and installed that. When it runs and tries to connect to the watch, it fails every time. I was going to try and install Samsung Apps, then download Galaxy Gear from there and try again. But the only one I could find was from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277473
And that APK won't install using APK Installer. (Just says: "X App not installed.")
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with the S4 and the Samsung Smart Watch. Or knows of a different way to do this. I'd love some help.
Thank you
The Samsung Watch is most likely not going to work with cm since the watch and its software is propriety. You will need to use a stock Rom base 4.3.

I thought I read people were getting it to work once they had a rom with 4.3.
That's a bit disappointing. Thanks though.

Got rid of custom padlock on boot with wanam.

Thought I would share cuz it took me forever to figure it out but if you want to get rid of that custom padlock after root...you can use the Wanam Xposed Module. Just go into security hacks and check "fake system status" to make it"official" again. This might be old news but it took me forever to find something that worked.

Wanam does nothing on my note 3 your trick didn't work nor does any other feature this app offers. Strange

It does work, just did it this morning. Are you familiar with how to enable modules in the Xposed framework app (Go to modules and make sure that is is checked, then reboot.) Also for this particular module (And most that mess with boot stuff) a second reboot is required to see the changes.
Yep. .. That did it. .. Thanks

Are you on a custom ROM? I had it working on stock then flashed a ROM and it stopped; or should I say it worked intermittently . After this latest OTA I decided to remain stock and it's working fine again on every reboot ... Not saying that this is your issue, just thought I'd throw it out there.

I'm on stock MJE. Wanam is working now that I updated the module.

Lol. I only used custom roms to be able to theme certain things....with wanam it works best on stock which so far keeps the phone working at its best for me anyway. Xposed is awesome IMO.

Another great module for Xposed is called "Unicon". Lets you change your icons everywhere on your phone...even the lockscreen shortcuts and some settings icons. Uses icons from almost any launcher theme without having to change launchers.
???Sent from my precious Samsung Galaxy Note 3???
I've had this icon ever since I rooted this puppy. Never goes away. Even when I odin back to full stock firmware. Wanam only masks this. But it does not work for me, regardless. So how does one actually get this to go away other than odin stock flash? Cuz if I ever need to revert back for warranty, it's still gonna be there on my phone.

SM N900 kitkat features

Hi, My phone got updated to kitkat 4.4.2. But there is no updated dialer or emoji keyboard. Should these be enabled somewhere in the settings? Please let me know.
There's no visual changes on the stock dialer and you will find the emoji when you press the "sym" at the left side before the space bar.
But when I insert these emoji in to whatsapp input box they change to something else!
