What bootloader do I need to be on?
A. Any. Keep in mind 4.1.2 and earlier will not have wifi unless you flash AGNi Kernel
and 4.3 boot loader will not be able to charge while the power is off (it will force the phone to turn on)
How do I check the bootloader version?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
MK6 is 4.3 Bootloader for AT&T
MJ4 is 4.3 Bootloader (from Leak for AT&T)
NF3 is 4.4 Bootloader for Rogers
NF1 is 4.4 Bootlaoder for Rogers+Bell+Telus
I can't charge the phone when the power is off?
A. You are likely on boot loader 4.3 or below...
You either have to live with it - or upgrade the bootloader to 4.4
Want to CHARGE your phone while it's turned off. Like it was on 4.3??
A. Then flash the
Shift kernel
It's been confirmed by
@absinthesummer working on DN5v2 Rom, with the old 4.1.2 bootloader!!!
Q. How do I upgrade boot loader to 4.4?
A. Look here for more info on the
Bootloader upgrade...

My recovery said I don't have SuperSU installed. Should I let it install it?
A. No. Always do this yourself - Flash SuperSU 2.02
Then go to the Play Store and upgrade to the latest version.
Q. How do I install SuperSU?
A. Best is to flash SU Version 2.02,
SU Version 2.02 then boot up the phone the SuperSU app may or may not be installed, if not go to the play store and install it.
Open it>it will prompt you to update the SU binary> go ahead and do that using either method (i use the first option)
Q. When flashing the ROM, the flash fails, why?
A. If flashing with Twrp and after wiping your complete system (including internal). When you try to flash the Rom and you get a Failed!! Then reboot recovery which will tell you no Os installed. Swipe to reboot the recovery, then it going to ask if you want to flash Root. Just hit DO NOT INSTALL and the phone will reboot. Then find your Rom on your external Sd card. Flash the Rom let aroma finish and enjoy..
If that don't work then you can try this recovery PhilZ Touch
I flashed the ROM and it is stuck at the boot logo??
Make sure your download of the ROM is correct (check the MD5 - instructions see below)
Reboot to recovery
(first try flashing without wiping, if that does not work - retry by wiping internal, then rebooting in to recovery again)
flash the rom again
when flash finishes, let the phone reboot.
the boot logo should come up. Sometimes it can take a LONG time to boot up the first time (5+ minutes) so give it a chance.
Q. How do I check the MD5 of my download?
A. Once the file is on your device, download ES File Explorer (or any other program capable of checking MD5). Navigate to the ROM.zip - long press to select - select properties - select Show checksum - Check the MD5 box, and click Calculate.
Then compare the MD5 of your download to the official MD5 (in download section)

Why am only seeing 4g, 3g, H icons in the status bar?
A. Because the Rom is based off the international note 2! You can flash one of the build prop zips in the download section, to acquire your correct icons.
I am having an issue locking GPS.
A. First switch setting to GPS only
Go outside, open maps, let it try and get a gps lock (can take upwards of 10 minutes)
Try flashing the GPS fix file for your carrier (in downloads section)
Go outside, open maps, let it try and get a gps lock (can take upwards of 10 minutes)
Try using a GPS lock fix app:

Try using TopNTP:

or this one:

If none of the above steps have worked for you then try this Gps Location apk Found by- Sawdoctor
Does download booster work?
A. Not yet. This is ported from the N7100 which does not have LTE - therefore, no working LTE download booster. We are working on a few things so MAYBE we will get this to work.
Q. Internet only works on Wifi, why can't I get regular internet over network?
a) Check your APNs.
b) Choose a different one, then choose yours again
c) delete all of them, then re-add the appropriate settings for your APN
Q. Apps are showing that WIFI is on all the time. How do I change this?
A. Settings>Wifi> Advanced Settings> Uncheck Always allow scanning
Q. How do i get the LTE icon (such as on the i317M Canadian Edition)
A. Install GravityBox [KK]
Statusbar tweaks>signal cluster settings>LTE indicator style>Click LTE
You may get a boot loop the first time installing the module from XPOSED:
reboot in to recovery>wipe cache and dalvik> reboot
A. You might be - Go to Settings>About Device>Status>Mobile Network Type (it may say LTE here)
If it says LTE, then you ARE getting LTE - you just don't have the right logo in the notification bar.
To change the network logo in the notification bar:
Flash the build.prop for your model / carrier.
OR
Manually use ES File Explorer
Click the little globe / phone icon in the top left (menu button)
scroll down to Root Explorer (Turn it on)
click on the actual word Root Explorer not the on/off button
Mount R/W
switch /system from RO to RW and click OK
navigate to /system
scroll down to build.prop and select it
Open with ES Note Editor
Change the value of lines: (don't enter all values, just the one that you want)
ro.product.model=SGH-I317M/SGH-I317/
ro.product.name=t0ltetmo/t0ltecan/t0lteatt
ro.product.device=t0ltetmo/t0ltecan/t0lteatt
ro.build.product=t0ltetmo/t0ltecan/t0lteatt
Just fill it in for your device:
tmo: tmobile
can: canada models (all)
att: AT&T
exit and save.
switch the /system from RW back to RO the same way we did above.
Reboot the phone
Alternate GPS Fix according to Bajanman:
Advanced:
1. Open the file explorer and go to System/etc (gps.config)
2. (optional) backup original gps config to etx Sd card
3. Then delete that same file (gps.config)
4. Now find the downloaded Gps file location and extract it!
5. Go to the extracted folder and copy the (gps.config) file.
6. After that go back to System/etc and copy it there! DO NOT FIX PERMISSIONS
7. Reboot your system and run a gps app see if it works..
Basic:
1. Flash the Zip for your model.
Here are the files:
AT&T –

T-Mobile -

All models- Gps Location apk
Q. I can't get mms to work on straight talk?
A. Some people have issues getting it to work with the stock message app & download alternate such as textra from the play store & put in the APN, and it worked for some.
Q. Is there a modem in the rom?
A. No
Other Questions/Miscellaneous
Grey-Scale mode isn't working when turning on power saving mode?
A. Go to AGNi controls application and turn off MDNIE hijack (this setting removes the ability for the ROM to control the screen - thereby unable to change to grey scale.)
Q. How do I fix the font size?
A. If you chose the S5 Settings menu:
Settings>Accessibility>Vision>Font Size
Q. Why is Air Command not working?
A. There is a good chance it's not turned on...
Settings>S Pen>Air Command (turn on)
If that doesn't work? - Re-flash is probably best bet.
My CPU speed is not going above 1200 MHz?
A. Enable everything in power saving mode, then disable it - this usually clears it.
Q. I'm having screen wakeup issues?
A.

2) Use the AGNI settings provided by
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54230324&postcount=8668 @Bajanman
Q. How do I get F2FS to work?
A. On 3.1.1 (Android 4.3) Psycho4US4 had luck using TWRP to format system, cache, and data as F2FS then flashed the rom according to instructions - and that was it.. give that a shot. - after you boot up, use DiskInfo to check the filesystem to confirm its F2FS
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo
On DN3V5.2 - f2fs has not worked reliably as of yet.
Q. A specific settings is already checked (or unchecked) in the position I want it to be but it isn't working. What should I do?
A. Try checking it on and off a couple times then set it the way you want. Sometimes after a flash these settings get stuck in the on position.
My Menu button doesn't work?
A. Does it open up your recent programs?
If so, then that means you selected the S5 remapped keys - to change back just re-flash the rom and select a different option.
Q. Music player (S5 Version) keeps skipping when the screen is off?
A. Raise the minimum cpu threshold – it’s a galaxy s5 music player bug - and that’s how they fix it on the n7100
Q. News and stock wall wasn't working?
A. Install from this thread:
http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1829023
afterwards, had to re-install APN to get data / LTE
Q. How do I get rid of the birthday notification?

also try: SPlanner-->Calendars-->Tick and untick "All calendars"
Q. How can I hide the s finder and quick connect pull-down?
A. use Xposed g-touchwiz:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...posed.touchwiz
How do you get the S Finder and Quick Connect icons?
A. Switch to the Tmobile version (see settings below for how to switch LTE logo.
Q. The S Finder and Quick Connect buttons disappeared from the drop down menu when I tried switching to AT&T build.prop.
A. Bajanman suggests flashing this: http://d-h.st/2qj
Q. I am not getting text notifications on my lock screen
flash the build.prop for your device from the OP
Q. What apps can I remove from this Rom? Bloatware?
A. We don't necessarily suggest this - TW does tend to be very interrelated, deleting one thing can cause other things to not work regardless here is a list:
http://www.droidviews.com/list-of-...g-galaxy-devices-that-can-be-safely-removed/
Q. Screen Mirroring Doesn't work:
A. Use Triangle Away to reset flash counter (allsharecast / screen mirroring looks at this for whatever reason)
There is a Samsung screen mirroring patch in the app store that fixes it in 4.4

It's really worth to read this! Thanks to @passenger001
"If you freeze all suggested apps, it may cause some of the rom features fc/not working, so read the whole post, try to understand what is meant on brackets, if you don't understand, don't freeze that, if without understanding you freeze all and later found something fishy with the rom, you have to flash the rom again." thx to @nitol for this hint

AIO Gestures: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures

Q. Private mode is not working?
A. Private mode is linked to knox and knox is disabled in DN3.
So private mode will not work.
Q: Why are Air Gestures and Finger View not working?
A. Note 2 doesn’t have necessary hardware sensors for that like Note 3. So it won't work!
Q: I am using xyz mod and facing issues:
A. Please be careful using mods, as they are maybe not fully compatible with the rom for now. Always make a backup before modifying!
Q: Where are the developer options?
A. Go to settings, general, device info and tap on “build number” 5 times.
Q. What is ART and why it doesn't work?
A. Don't select ART as it will cause bootloops!!!
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/art.html

So ART is in experimental state (Google) and it won't work with TW roms and has to be fixed from Samsung.

Also, Xposed is not compatible with ART just yet.
