The headphone warning is annoying. Lowers your volume and then message pops up. You have to press okay then raise the volume. Should have an option to disable that.

I haven't seen any headphone warnings yet. How loud do you crank your music? Mine is usually no higher than 3... {I have ViPER4Android on my device so 3 is actually maybe 10.}
Install the XPosed Framework 2.3 beta 1 (earlier ones don't work on the Note 3), then get the Wantam XPosed mod from the Play Store. It has an option to disable the volume warning and all the other annoying Samsung crap.
super annoying when i am riding my bike...push the button but it will not go up until i press okay :/

So here is how to fix it - must be rooted
install the xposed framework - from themes and apps section - reboot after
go to play store and search/install wanam xposed - install.
Open xposed installer and enabled wanam module - reboot
go to wanam app - sounds - disable loud volume warning
thx to circuit.007 for helping me get to that point
Wow, what a bunch of silly hoops to jump through just to remove a silly warning that should be there in the first place. Once you see it the first time there should be a checkbox to "never show again". Or a simple and easy to find setting to disable the warning message all together. Having to root your device and install 2 or 3 more things to rid yourself of this day to day annoyance is outrageous.

You can thank those idiots who hurt their ears from turning up the volume all the way, and then tried to sue Samsung for it. LOL
All credit for these apps goes to @viper520. Shoutout to @zhuhang for maintaining the thread here on xda and creating some NICE impulse response samples,
I've been using ViPER4Android (V4A) for all my recent devices including the Droid DNA, S3, and the S4. So, naturally, I needed to get it on my Note 3 ASAP. There's two apps as part of this sound mod, but one is optional. The main app is called ViPER4Android FX. The current version is 2.3.1.1 and is compatible with stock rooted VZN Note 3. I use the optional app, ViPER4Android XHiFi, for superior bass and treble adjustment.
The newer versions of V4A allow for both system and user installations, but I've always installed it as a system app to ensure that it works 100% of the time (including watching movies with MX Player, YouTube, streaming with Google Play Music, etc.) So, my N3 installation instructions are as follows (note: your device MUST be rooted):
1) Download the app(s) from the original xda thread. Extract the 4.x versions of the apks from the .zip files.
2) Push both apks to system\app. Reboot so permissions get automatically fixed or manually change to rw-r-r-. (First screenie using Root Explorer).
3) Launch each app separately. Grant root access to each of them to install their drivers. They'll both prompt you to install drivers on first launch. Choose "Super Audio Quality" driver for FX. We have a quad core processor, so it can easily handle it. XHiFi is being phased out but still adds a richness I can't find in using FX alone. You must manually choose the bottom option. Reboot so it automatically fixes the permissions of the newly installed drivers.
4) After reboot, immediately go to settings\sound\music effects and choose ViPER4Android FX as the default sound processor (second screenie). NOTE: If you have a custom ROM, Music Effects may have been removed by your developer. Continue to the next step.
5) Open up /system/build.prop in text editor using any file explorer with root access. Change these lines (the bottom two apply to the VZN N3):
Code:
Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
NOTE: On a custom ROM, your build.prop may have been edited and these lines might not appear. They will definitely not appear if you're not on a Samsung device. You can either add these line manually for Samsung custom ROMs to ensure proper audio settings or simply continue without any build.prop edits.
6) Plug your headphones and start your favorite music app. Start up FX and enable it at the top and then check the driver status. If everything says you're processing, you're good to go. Enjoy the BEST sound on Android.
This is my tried and true installation. You can see from screenies 3 and 4 that it's definitely work on my N3. I'm not sure if installing it as a user app (just clicking the FX apk) will work or not as I didn't even try it. YMMV.
UPDATE: Tip for newer versions since this post was created:
Using the convolver is one of the most important things you can add to customize sound to your liking. You can access the convolver by going the UI Setting in the menu and selecting Moderate or Expert. The app will close and when you open it again, it will be under the equalizer. Once enabled, Download and extract IRS files to <storage>/ViPER4Android/Kernel/<paste files here>. If the directory doesn't exist, simply create it using a file manager. IRS's can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216193
I've seen this mentioned before but I'm not super familiar with it. Does this make THAT much of a difference? Everything sounds amazing on my N3 after my Galaxy Nexus.
I'm going to head over to the thread to check it out but I'd like to hear anything else you guys have to say about it.
Thanks for the guide.

Yes, the difference is VERY drastic. You'll notice it as soon as you begin tinkering. I'd post my settings, but everyone has their own sound preferences. The great thing is, this mod accommodates all musical tastes. As you see from my screenies, I let FX do most of the work, as it should, and only use XHiFi's Audio Reconstruct feature.
You're welcome for the guide. Post back in here how you like it/any installation problems I can help with.
I use it for blue tooth through my cars radio. It takes the sound quality from crappy factory speakers to the point where I see no need to replace them

Does this work for the regular speakers, like speakerphone, ringtones/notifications? My issue is that everything seems too quiet. Will this help me?
Thanks!

Yes, it affects sound coming out of the regular speaker including speakerphone, but does not boost ringtones or notifications. I think this thread will help with that. Which reminds me...
I've been messing with V4A for so long, I forgot to include the instructions for Samsung devices in this post in my original guide. Fixing now.
Followed instructions. This mod is not working. Under processing, it says "No".

I know this sounds crazy, but that's usually not the important part. The important thing is if you can tell the difference in sound. If there's no modification, then there's a problem. Have you tried other music players? Have you tried the steps here?
When I go to the settings -> Sound -> Music Effects, it force closes. Otherwise, the mod sounds like it is working.
The only problem with the updated fx is there is no max gain now so it's not any louder

one of the best parts of viper is the .IRS samples
You have to go into "expert mode" for this.
then download the .irs files. fromt he original viper thread.
The best one I found was from a vintage 1980s technics Cassette deck.
It sounds awesome!
V4A FX has been updated to v2.3.1.3. Changelog:
FX version: v2.3.1.3
Notice: v2.3.1.3 partially-support Android 4.3.1 and Android 4.4 OS.
1.Bug fix.
2.Update translations.
3.Add a new bass mode.

The new bass mode is called Subwoofer and it's VERY deep bass. You can update by going to the OP of the V4A thread if you have it installed as a system app or just use the menu button and check for update if you have it installed as a data app.
Worked perfect on my rooted note 3. Thanks

thanks. wasn't working for me but one more reboot after editing build.prop did the trick.
I cannot get this to work for nothing. i do not notice any difference on headset or speaker. I followed OP instructions and nothing. My FX menu doesn't have the different bass options either. any ideas of how i can get this working.

go to settings then ui settings then expert then you will have all of the options. make sure you go to setting and check for new updates too. the new update is pretty sweet. it is a huge difference. you can make is very loud also by changing max gains

Did you do the build.prop edits in step 5? I'm pretty sure these help with the default Samsung music player. I use Neutron and Poweramp for local music. MX Player also works.
Yes i did the build.prop stuff.

Hey there,
since a week I own a Note 10.1 2014ed with LTE. So far I didn't modify anything on it and run the stock -MJ2 firmware.
I want to restrict some apps of accessing what the don't need to access and since 4.3 supposedly has this rights control feature called "App Ops" already integrated, I checked how to use it... Google gives many links to descriptions how to open the feature, they are all the same: Either you use a launcher that can start "Activities" (like Nova launcher) or you install one of the many apps from Playstore which do the trick as well.
Here is what I found on the Note:
Whenever I start the App Ops (no matter if I use an app, and I tried several, or start this activity), it just takes me to the first page of the Settings screen (WiFi).
Although searching the web for a while, it seems no one who owns this Note is using the feature or not having the trouble with it.
Can someone confirm this problem or, even better, give me a solution for it?
Cheers

I have that very same thing happen with something totally different. In wanam when I try to enable the flashlight from lock screen feature it takes me tu settings page nothing to do with camera flashlight or lock screen.....No idea I just gave up for now
Hmmm, no one interested?
I'm just wondering now if people don't care what their apps are accessing or if they use a third party program to make restrictions.
Any idea how to control apps will be welcome. If you use sth like LBE, please leave a reply.
Cheers
Hi there again.
Since there is no information available throughout the web concerning my question I was in contact with Samsung support about it. I thought it might be helpful for others what was replied.
They said that using the original Samsung Firmware, the feature cannot be used. They didn't specify whether it was completely removed from the system or only disabled so itcould possibly still work.
Since I am not a developer I didn't go into more detail there.
Now I hope that a custom ROM like Cyanogen will be available soon for the tablet.

I'm facing the exact same issues.
When following the windows opening when starting App Ops from e.g AppOpsX, a window titled "App Ops" opens quickly, then closes and ends up on the Settings screen. Same for flashlight.
My best guess was that Samsungs version of the Settings App blocks access in a way that they can only handle windows/panes that their app is capable of - would explain why it shows up just quickly and then closes.
I've been thinking that if I'd be able to flash the stock settings app, temporarily freeze the Samsung one and try App Ops - might work?
I have the same issue. My p605 is not rooted
Hey,
There have been a lot of threads that let you activate the LED on the Moto G4 but none of them allow you to use it as a notification light.
Here is an app called "Moto Led Enabler" - Download(PlayStore)
The usage is pretty simple and straight forward-
1. Install the app and open it.
2. Grant the root permissions.
3. Grant the notification access from withing the app.
4. Select the applications for which you want to be notified.
Note:
1. The intensity slider doesn't work so the LED would glow at a constant intensity.
2. The app needs to be in memory in order to work so if you restart the device open the application once so that it can run in the background.

All other apps including the one you gave the link to will only work for charging and power purposes only. They don't provide you the facility of having app specific notifications.
This thread focuses on using the LED as a notification LED instead of a charging LED.
-----Update-----
This app makes the LED actually useful instead of making it glow only when the power is connected

The app by default automatically selects any newly installed application, I haven't faced this problem so can't say. Did you by any means clear the app data or something??

You're welcome. You can try contacting the app developer, maybe he can fix it.
I bought a G4 a few days ago without knowing that some phones like this have done away with the "must-have" notification LED that I depend on so much. I've only had this app installed for a few hours (and have had the G4 and Android N for not much longer), so I may not have discovered some quirks yet, but it does work. I don't understand why Play Store reviews are so poor, but I assume it's because a lot of people are unrooted (root requirement should have been mentioned by dev in the description even though it's pretty obvious, but whatever). Anyway, thanks for sharing, OP. I'm still kind of in shock that an app is needed to have a notification light on this phone, but since it is, this app is a godsend.
its not blinking.. the light is on constantly till the notification is cleared..
LightFlow works great. I put up these directions a few days ago..

Hi Folks,
I have been trying to get some EQ apps to work on my phone but they seem to have no effect. Did a bit of reading around and it seems that they will not work as long as the stock EQ is running because only one EQ can be running at a time. I went to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> App Info, three dots, Show System and there is an app in there called "Equalizer" but when I tap into it the "Disable" button is greyed out.
I have read in the forum about disabling "Music FX" and a couple of other methods but none apply to my phone. I am running Oreo 8.1. Is there a way without rooting (don't want to void my warrantee) that I can disable the stock EQ so that I can get these other ones to work?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Ken
