Which ROM Should I Start With? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I've rooted and installed ROMs before, and I usually would not have much trouble doing so, except for one question.
Which ROM do I use?
I like the functionality of the S-Pen, so the ROM I get hopefully has all the features currently available. At the same, time, if there is a ROM with Note 3 features, so that it works the same as a Note 3, which ROM would you recommend? Thanks for the help guys.
Just to let you know, my phone is about 3 months old, so the Warranty is still fresh. Should I void it if I were to go ahead?
P.S.: The last phone I rooted and flashed was a Sony Xperia Neo. Is there anything extremely different for Samsungs?

[4.3][MK4]DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM from Electron Team(E-team)
can try this rom. many note 3 features

Need some help asap with a new rom

Hi everyone, basically i have a galaxy note N7105 and when i first got it, i was helped on here by someone to root it and install a custom rom, which i did, that was almost a year ago haha
I have since seen alot of new roms on here and wondered if anyone could help me.
I know how to install a rom onto the phone and gapps ect, but wondered if anyone could tell me if there was a rom which has the same as note 3?
I dont use the pen so thats not a problem, I just want to update my phone as i've been using WANNAMLITE which is now outdated.
18 views and no reply
I basically want to know if there is a rom already out for the N7105 which basically makes the note 2 like the note 3?
If you want the same feature as Note 3, our N7105 currently don't have (as in ROM originally made for N7105).
But you can try SkyNote from AT&T forum, search & read first before you flash, make sure you understand how it works to flash this ROM onto your device N7105.
If you don't care about the feature from Note 3, you can use some of the AOSP ROM, which is now I think the most ROM developed for N7105 (CM based).
If you just want to update to 4.3, with KNOX-free, you can use LIONrom. This is for our N7105, but it is purely stock, modded KNOX (knox free), rooted, deodexed. So far I use this one, I never face any problem as stated by other user.
All your choice mate.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply, Its the note 3 features that im after, I've been on the same rom for ages now and decided i wanted a change, and thought i'd give the note 3 a go on my note 2, but im not sure which rom best acts as a note 3.
obviously with as least amount of problems as possible.
I've read some of them lose wifi, and some of them aint giving the correct 4g ect ect.
if you just want to experience the note 3 features try searching play store there are some apps that gives you note 3 features

That was why I said, read and understand first about the ROM before u flash.
If u follow the OP instructions, very less chance of the problems occur.
Most ppl are not following instructions, or just do a dirty flash, got problem, and blame on the rom.
Wifi if u flash devil kernel it will fix it.
4g normally due to modem not compatible with ur region., u have to check with OP whether rom will be compatible with other modem or not.
Good luck mate.

[Q] Custom Rom for I467

If you have AT&T variant then we have nothing, not even 4.2.2 or an unlocked bootloader. It's frustrating, but it is what it is. If you are looking for custom ROMs, look at a wifi only version or a different device.

As far as I can tell, we don't have any custom roms for the AT&T i467. The best we can do is root and a deodexed stock rom.
Root:

Deodexed Stock Rom:

Read everything carefully and don't apply the OTA CAMF2 update if you want to flash the deodexed stock rom.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

How can I use international roms on t-mobile note 3?

I'm using my T-mobile Jump tomorrow to get a Note 3. Of course, the first thing I'm going to do is: open the box, plug the phone in, then root it. I don't know much about this phone since I have been using an HTC One running Cyanogen Mod. So, My question is, what's the best way to unlock the Note 3's full potential? I.e: I see many root solutions, which do you prefer and why? By rooting and installing custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, ect), am I able to use ROMS on the International Samsung Galaxy Note 3 forums, or am I limited to T-Mobile only offerings? I wouldn't consider myself a NOOB, or a Dev, just an enthusiast who wants to help other enthusiasts, please leave your advice and experiences below.

First thing you need to do is to learn about KNOX, there are dozens of threads related to KNOX so
it's easy to find.
If your new phone is a NOTE 3 and you don't read up on the KNOX issue but simply go and root the
phone your warranty might be void afterwards.
You need to read up on the official 4.3 rom & the MK2 baseband which all new NOTE 3 phones have
before you root or flash any cwm/twrp flashable zip files including roms and kernels.
Once you decide what to do about the KNOX and still want to root your phone and flash custom roms
I would highly suggest to only flash roms in the Tmobile Note 3 forum, & only flash those roms which
are based on Tmobile 4.3 Jellybean Touchwiz firmwares.
Flashing any other roms will result in loosing the ability to use free tmobile wifi calling as well as loosing
most all of the bells and whistle which makes the NOTE 3 such a great phone.
In my experience with custom roms, the Wicked & Darthstalker roms are the only 2 that I would even consider flashing.
Do a lot of reading before you decide or do anything.
Good luck!
Vision X will work just fine, give it a look see also....

Yes, I flashed the Bobcat 3.0 rom too, and it looks like a Million Dollars, best LOOKING rom I have
ever seen... BUT unless the dev who created it can get himself a N900T Tmobile Note 3 phone to
test with, we will never have wifi calling if we flash the Bobcat International Note 3 rom.
I flashed it a few hours ago and am still debating with myself if I want to keep it or not. LOL
Hello!
I have a SM-N900T Baseband N900TUVUBMI7. But unfortunately, there is no Russian System language (not possible to enable it through the setting.)
I live in Russia, in this regard, I have a couple of questions:
1. Does the Russian language in international ROM?
2. What ROM you can recommend with support Russian system language and the maximum cut off apps from T-mobile and ather (consist only samsung apps)?
This "abundance" is useless for me.
I would be very grateful for the link to the thread of this ROM.
P.S.Sorry for the poor english.

Here is the link for Bobcatrom v3 EVO XDA thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498687
Here is the direct download link for Bobcatrom v3 EVO rom:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196459
After flashing this rom on a N900T Galaxy Note 3 phone you will not have
Wifi, Bluetooth or NFC until you flash this wifi-bluetooth-nfc-FIX.zip file.
So you need to flash the rom first, set it all up so it's working properly then
go back into cwm/twrp custom recovery and flash the fix file below:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...en900T/Needed_Files_BT_WIFI_NFC_Flashable.zip
After you flash the fix file, wifi, bluetooth and nfc will all work fine.
Good luck!

Sure you can, you can flash the 4.4.2 kitkat but don't expect everything to work properly,
especially wifi, data and many other things in it still need fixing.
That's why it's called a "leak"..
Good luck!
Does N900T have Russian language as a system language? I intend to root the phone and install Language Enabler from the market. The app reveals hidden languages but before I proceed I'd like to make sure that the phone does have Russian (hidden in it).
Thank you.
Hi, I have similar problem as escudovod1972. Live in the UK and have the T-mobile version (SM-N900T) of the note 3. Would like to have Russian and Lithuanian languages but keep the phone as close to stock as possible.
Was wondering if I could achieve this, by flashing one of these:
"International SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3 Stock Firmware"
Will I need to flash a T-Mobile kernel separately?
Also if this works, will I loose any functionality?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Has anyone got any links for this? I have a friend in Russia, who is using a T-mobile Note 3 - he is able to use an app to switch to Russian, however, the System Language is still in English. Its Rooted, Stock, Currently. Running 4.4.2 I believe.

You can flash a unified rom aka hlte (more info: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/unified-builds) like cyanogen, carbon rom(using this on my N3 Tmobile in UK just now), AOKP and many more(safe to say that all have Russian), if you like the AOSP/AOKP look. Or go for X-note or other touch wiz based unified roms.
Anyways, take a look here for more info and rom lists: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3#romList
Hope this helps

I try all the roms, before posting them, make a backup then flash the rom,,, N9005XXUENE3_hlte_Stock_Odex_Not_Rooted_NoKnox.zip
I would not advise flashing the firmware... your rooted, its safer just flashing the rom...
I just made a UK rom earlier today, using this one, I was using Singapore for the past 3 or 4 days... I like using the newest rom...

[Q] Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Root&Rom or stick with stock??

Hello guys i am newbie here from Turkey Istanbul
I used note 10.1 original one and then updated to 2014 edition because there was no update after 4.1.2
now its a de javu... my question is , is it clever to root and flash custom rom or stick with stock rom and wait for official updates?
I would like to flash custom rom but if there will be an official update that makes exynos works much more efficient and with new touchwiz i will devastate.
So guys i need opinions with clever reasons...
thanks a lot....
Why not do both? You can always go back to stock after rooting and it is likely the devs will get their hands on any release before it comes out officially.

Yess right but i use my note as a pc do all my works and my media on this tab so it is always hard and painfull for me to reset the tab.
I know no one has opinion about the date of official updates but it will come in a month i can sti k but if it will take decades i'll flash rom immedieatly
and also read that with custom roms we can use 4 multiapp function am i right.
and last question what is the best custom rom for our tab? Any opinions¿
I hear you... It can be... I've used titanium backup and it makes it less painful.
You are right, we never know when. Definitely can use any app you want for multi-window and yes there are 4 Windows available.

From my expirenece custom roms are totally unneccary on up to date devices.... if you want customisation get xposed installer .... stock rom gives you stability & all features .... debloat with titanium and youre totally fine .... get your neet extra features with xposed isntaller & gravity box / wanam exposed modules...
its funny when i ask ppl what their custom rom gives them .. they cant name a single feature I cant get on stock ....
if you have an old device with outdated firmware its another story

New owner seeking advice

Hello everyone:
I am a new (used) Galaxy Note 3 owner. I bought an LG G2 3 weeks or so ago, spent that 3 weeks studying, rooting, installing recovery and finally installing and tweaking Cloudy G2 ROM. Just as I got my G2 running flawlessly it slipped from my shirt pocket as I was grilling, bounced off the grill and landed face down on the car port thus smashing the screen to pieces. :crying: What a waste of time installing that cheap screen protector the previous evening.
Anyway, I found a great deal on a used Note 3 so I went ahead and bought that rather than another G2. So now, I need to update my Note 3 just like I did the G2. Since I am running short on time at the moment I just want to get some ideas on where to start. I do intend to read everything I can on XDA but some helpful tips would really assist me with getting this finished sooner rather than later.
So....Right now the phone has stock 4.4.2 loaded and the knox counter is not tripped.
Baseband version is:N900TUVUCNB4
Security Software Version is:MDF v1.0 Release 2.
I am not at all familiar with this security stuff so any tips here on what exactly this is would be most appreciated.
My goal is:
1. root the device
2. install recovery prefer twrp but cwm will do if necessary
3. install a good ROM (Preferably Lollipop based ROM)
4. I would like to have xPosed Framework support too if possible. Of course this depends on the ROM I presume.
I have heard that Samsung Note 3 is a real bear to root. Also that the Odin software can be dangerous. I have no idea if this is true or not so please help me here.
I was also wondering whether it would be best to root the phone while on KitKat, or upgrade to stock lollipop first and then start the root/recovery process.
I'd really really appreciate all the help I can get from anyone that has owned a note 3 and has already been all through this process.
Thanks...Olin
Oh well, no replies? Man this Samsung device is rather overwhelming what with all the various scenarios. I am thinking of going with temasek's Unofficial CM12.1, or DOMPOP, or maybe Darklord. But I am still completely unsure whether to upgrade to stock Lollipop before I start on the root/recovery/ROM project. I also need to read everything I can find on these 3 roms.
But please, if you have any comments on which of these 3 ROMS is the best for the note 3 and/or comments on the best root/recovery method then by all means point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much for any help at all.
people just aren't as helpful around here as they used to be. Either that or not many use the note 3 anymore. But nevermind I figured it out anyway as I knew I eventually would.
Hey!

Hey Beegbear:
I have decided to stay with KitKat for now because of the fact you can't use the xPosed framework on Lollipop and the fact KitKat is just a more stable platform and has many more Roms available. I used this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765014
to get my Note 3 on the newest stock KitKat rom, then root it, then install the latest TWRP recovery. I carefully followed the exact steps in this guide except that I did use a newer TWRP recovery I downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/twrp-2.8.7.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Other than using this newer TWRP I went step by step through this guide. I still plan on installing a custom KitKat rom but right now I am researching various roms to try and decide which one. But at least I have latest stock, root, and a good recovery right now.
I'd start with Tweaked. A flawless TW KK ROM. Only if unsatisfied would I bother with LP. Apparently the developer is working on an LP variant, but we'll see. He releases long after others, due to commitments, but well worth the wait. There is an xposed for LP available, but carefully research what modules work with it and compare to what you want.

Thanks a lot. You caught me just before I was about to install Hyperdrive N3 RLS7.1. I'd like to ask you what you think of this ROM?
And as for tweaked, I have come across two possible versions of a "tweaked" ROM. Tweaked ROM [Material L Theme] and TweakedN3 v3.x. Are these actually the same ROM? I'm looking around but still am not sure on this.
Thanks for your reply.
Olin
Well I "think" I have it figured out and I am in fact going to go with the Tweaked ROM, basic install procedure. Thanks so much for your advice ytj87 - I would have installed that other ROM if I had not seen your post. I may do that down the road anyway but I intend to give Tweaked a thorough test before I do. It looks great and based on forum info it seems less buggy than most of the other roms I researched.
Olin
Will probably come down to the experience you want. Tweaked is more stock with an emphasis on stability. I haven't used Hyperdrive, but when you see a ROM like that which integrates something other than the Note 3 TW UI, you're more likely to see glitches. It's the same NF9 base, though, and it has been around a while, and it looks interesting, so at some point give it a shot if curious. I personally prefer the Note 3 original UI to the S5's, so I probably won't try it.
TweakedN3 3.95. The LP themed one I haven't used.
