Okay this is strange. My phone is telling me I have 29.59GB of Miscellaneous files for some reason. I just go this phone yesterday and I have rooted it and it is running Jelly Beans build 6. Its is build MJE ,model number is SM-N900V. It is not just some bug, I really can't install anymore applications. Please help

Yes, I forgot to mention that.
Well that's why. When you activate a ROM slot using SS you pick the data partition size which is usually 1-3 gigs and the rest of the 32 GB internal is miscellaneous. In order to put all 32gb to use you would have to flash the ROM on the stock slot.
I haven't done that yet, but very tempted. I always like having the stock slot for stock usage

This link is a guide on how to flash to the stock slot and return to stock if necessary.
Sent from One Bad Ass Note 3
That storage summary (via the Settings menu) is bad enough even on a pure stock phone... and far more misleading on a Safestrap ROM running in a non-stock slot.
I just looked now (running a ROM in a non-stock slot) and it says I have 40.1 Gb of misc files.
I flash over stock, a simple step to odin back to factory if needed.
Glad to know. Not to sure why flashing of stock is so taboo (even though I have yet to do it) I figured it would be like using a standard custom recovery. Restore in case of a soft brick and Odin if a harder brick. Probably going to do that this weekend.

I think it just to be safer for new users, if something goes wrong, just switch to stock slot and your good.

I installed the leaked 2.2 way back in august... want to get back to stock 2.1 for OTA 2.2 so if 2.3 ever comes around I wont have to keep doing this sorta stuff. Any ideas?
Have you updated to .340 I don't think you can downgrade in version numbers so I don't think you can go back to 2.1
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
No I am at 2.2. My phone was 2.1 when I bought it.

What does that mean tho is there a tutorial on how to do it?
This, my friends is why it is so important to read thoroughly on flashing before you do it.

Power down then power back on holding the home button. Once in stock recovery press the search button. Wipe and reboot. Hope that helps.

Also, if the only reason you don't like gummyjar is the camera you can flash the stock blur one, easily found by searching around.

Um no you don't have to repartition unless your external SD card is not formated.
And if you are making a backup, like in TWRP, change the backup directory to the external SD card

Edit: tried dialing that and it just says welcome to Verizon wireless nothing seems to be going my way haha

Currently running ricks rom when I go to access my test menu to change from CDMA to GSM it says menu unavailable so I'm guessing I'll just Odin back to stock again and see if I can fix the problem from there

After hours of trying I finally got into my settings after using Odin to go back to stock and reflashing the kk leak as far as I can see my settings are fine and no one else is experiencing this problem on stock 4.3 I have 4g but after flashing any rom I lose it

Were you able to pull the zip file?
im going to go with you got that message due to flashing a 4.4.3 rom then going back to a 4.4.2. rom. im pretty sure when you get a real update it always says are you ready to update to kit kat 4.4.3 or something like that. but i could be wrong. this is just going off of memory, and the fact that you look like you have a custom rom on the phone.

I'm going with that also since i don"t see anything inside the cache folder and indeed i was returning from liquids official KK 4.4.3 build. But since i have been going from AOSP custom roms almost every week I never got this until now. I did read about this bug in CM though. Sorry guys false alarm.
I used to do a lot of this back in my Bionic days, but I've just been stock for a few of years on my hltevzw Note 3. I've been happy with my stock 4.4.2 KitKat except that It's been eating the battery lately. The bloatware seems to be unhappy that I won't cave to Big Red, so it just runs up the CPU until the battery dies.
Anyhow, I bought a spare Note 3, unlocked the bootloader, and got TWRP going on it. It's on 4.4.2 right now (stock) and I'm ready to flash something bloat-free. I've read stories about GPS or MMS or modem not working with some roms and I can't have that. I just need a rom that will run like stock without the bloat. I use the pee out of GPS, I go through 35 gigs of data a month, I text instead of calling, and I still accept the occasional phone call.
What would be recommended for something like that?

Jasmine Rom 6.1 it is based on OF1 but works fine with the 4.4.2 bootloader (unlocked) and 4.4.2 modem. I run it with idlekernal or also with the reccomended leankernel. Very battery friendly.

I saw where people had talked about Jasmine. I'll take a look. I also heard about Jackyaway. But aren't some of the roms not good for VZW or Dev phones?
I installed the lk_hltevzw-v6.4.zip via TWRP an all seems to be the same as stock KitKat. How do I know that there is a change?

No changes to the phone according to the "about" screen. It must not be as easy as flashing a rom from TWRP.

According to what you posted, you only installed the lean kernel. You didn't install the rom itself. Read the link I posted, follow all the steps for dev edition. You don't need to flash the modem, nc4 modem works fine.
