That's not possible since I'm not running an ad-blocker.

I'm curious if you actually use the ROM because of the way you make such a statement with such apparent certainty.
I most definitely am and had been since before KitKat and I was just saying what I read when doing a search but if that's not your issue then its not. I was only trying to help but I'm sure you got it squared away by now and if not I'm sure you will. Good luck with that bro!! :)

I didn't mean to jump down your throat dude, I'm just a tad frustrated with this issue. I don't think I'm running an ad blocker unless it's called something else and I'm not aware of it. I had Ad Aware once but removed i, what else can it be?

it wouldn't be an app you added. Its in xposed. But let me read a few pages back to see what the issue is. Maybe I can come up with something. And its no big deal bro I've been there. I think we all have a time or 2.

I'm unsure if this is a known issue with the ROM or a software corruption of some kind, but I have never been able to change the default ringtone for SMS. It's still that stupid default whistle tone matter what I change it to.

I poured of over the sound settings and I cannot identify the problem.

For anyone having issues connecting to websites or some apps not working , for instance logging in to Snapchat, make sure you delete your hosts file and replace it with a stock one. It took me a bit to figure it out but once I did I was back to having a normal phone. The built in adblocker is great but I think it's too detailed that it blocks a little too much.

Thanks dude.

I'll look for the Ad aware host file and delete it.

Freeza and I are friends I Facebook, I'll ask him if he's still developing this ROM.

Edit: can you tell me where the host file is in the directory?
I hope he is still developing here but I do know he's currently over at the Note 4 and has a stockish Rom he's got up and running. So its not looking good for us guys here at N3 which makes me sad. But that's in no way confirmed til it comes out the mans mouth himself

    Hi guys, welcome to Galaxy Note fre3. This ROM is 'Wizless' in that it doesn't have the Samsung launcher or widgets, and tries to remove as much bloatware as possible while maintaining a fully functional ROM.

    Play Store link in App Info: gives you a "play store" button in the App Info of apps you've installed from the play store, making it easier to get to the play store entry of the app.
    ScreenOffAnimation: Set to CRT by default, this allows you to change your screen on and off animations.
    SwypeTweaks: Set to have swype's voice dictation icon default to Google instead of Dragon.
    Text Xposed: Set up to allow you to grab the definition of "selected" text in a text field by pressing the 3 dot menu or the "define" button if visible. Also set to allow you to double tap some text fields that are not editable.
    Wanam Xposed: This module is responsible for a lot of small changes including Screen Record/Capture on the power menu.

    YouTube Adaway: No more ads in YouTube videos. This module needs to be updated through the Xposed Installer every time YouTube gets updated.
    YouTube Background Playback: This allows you to "minimize" YouTube and still have a video play. Useful for music playlists. This module needs to be updated through the Xposed Installer every time YouTube gets updated.

    [size=+1]Introducing: Galaxy Note fre3 post-install with Xposed Framework[/size]

    In Galaxy Note fre3 2.0, I have written a post-install script that will install, on first boot, the Xposed Framework, wanam, tinted status bar, and butteredtoast. This does not mean you have to manually install Xposed, and enable modules. It is all automated and all happens on first boot. No need to 'reflash' the ROM. This will happen any time you do a factory reset on this ROM. It also sets a few default settings, enables tethering, and a bunch of things behind the scenes. I consider this a version 0.1 product. It has great potential and will able me to apply entire settings on your device--everything from ringtones to brightness, volume, widget layouts, lockscreen wallpaper, etc. You name it, I can probably make the post-install script do it. This will enable the Galaxy Note fre3 ROM to be truly customized in every way exactly how I intend it to be.

    You will notice upon first boot, when the white screen comes on telling you that your phone is setting up for the first time, that the phone will quickly 'hot boot' after about 30 seconds. This is completely normal and is part of the post-install process. Don't freak out and think you're in a boot loop. Everything will be fine. As the ROM progresses, I will modify that screen with a message like "Your phone will reboot during the setup. Please wait..."

    See it in action:

    Hmm, not many exciting things going on lately, but I have noticed a largely security based update was released. NK4.... I'll be updating the ROM to this shortly. No kernel source was released for this update so I can only assume it is a very minimal update.

    I'll also be updating the kernel, removing a few modules, and adding new ones over the next week!

    Thank you to everyone who continues to support this project even with the lack of activity going on both here and the Note 3 forum as a whole.

    Update coming along....
