What is the reason for reduce the functionality? Space?
Do you have a download link?
I took the sources of the ThL W8, it was not in there I guess.
I think I read earlier that it was also removed from official sources.
While compiling I did need a trick to fit in space, but I think it would fit.
Just no need for me to try :).
The recovery is attached, no warranties at all off course :).
You need SP flash tool to flash it.

grtz

[update]
gees man, I told several times I posted that recovery and thought you would take the time to look in those few previous pages.
And there it was, two clicks back by the way:

Before screeming help, did you do any testing? Looked at settings? Is your 3g activated on the sim? did you look under mobile network settings if it is enabled? Last but not least, check the APN settings for your provider and see if they are properly set.
By the way, those are not really N9599 specific things, just general android question, so just use google.

homescreen and others

I'm very happy with my N9599, one of the things most impressed me was using skype with video-call.

But there are things that don't work properly...I don't know if any of you had similar trouble, I tried some different launchers (such as Go Launcher) and it's not keeping as default launcher. I often need to start it again after doing little things like checking my gmail after received a notification. Ah, and I can't add/remove pages from the homescreen!

Another thing, there are some apps that install widgets, for my N9599 I can't add the widget (like world clock and weather apps). I have a Lenovo 2107 and all these apps work fine. I know how to add widgets, I know how to add/remove homecreem pages, but I can't find how to do it in my N9599...

Cheers

Hi, I'm using the Apex-launcher (free), works like a charm - what does it say when you select a different default launcher in the settings?

Well, I go to preferences, set as default Launcher, it shows the pop-up, I select Go Launcher and Always, it works fine, but if I get an email from the notification bar and open it, it comes back to the original launcher. I'm afraid could be something wrong with my phone, I tried Apex-Launcher and the UI got a bit messed up when I deleted some pages from the home-screen...

- Installed GravityBox 2.4.1 (now have more options, like transparent statusbar, centered clock, etc)
- Installed AdAway 2.7
- Installed Apex Launcher 2.1.0

I got mine yesterday from Amazon. I think its great! Nearly everything works like it should be. I got mine with a copy of some sort of touchwiz on it. I actually really wanted vanilla Android version but I guess its ok.

Only thing that doesnt work properly on mine is the screen rotation. Its absolutely terrible, the screen does not respond to rotating phone and then when it does finally change it doesnt want to rotate back again! Does this happen to anyone elses?

Screen is really bright but colours are a little off, they need to be stronger esp the black, it needs to be blacker. Colours will need tweaking. But for what its worth its a great phone! Ordered a bunch of Note 3 screen protectors to put on it and now need to find a good cover. (mine didn't come with one) Been told Note 2 will not fit
