Custom Rom Suggestions - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
Does anyone know if an app like Safestrap exists for the Note 3 SM-N9005??
In the original thread it mentions its only for Verizon phones??
The reason i ask is there are so many custom roms and i'd like to find out which out suits me the best (without having to fully test and flash 10 different roms).
Other than that, what custom roms are you guys using at present??
Bobcat, X-note and Omega seems popular at the moment
Phone facts:
Knox at 0x1
Phone on MJ7
Recovery is CWM
Based in the uk
Thanks all

I'm on crash rom I've tried them all
All good roms crash and omega are almost stock and the others are themed

@jaythenut
Brilliant, wondered why there was so many roms but most of them all do the same thing!!!
I've read up on Omega but never heard of Crash, will look in to in now.
How did you choose which rom was the best for you?? Did you flash each one individually?? That must have been so time consuming!!

What's a good lightweight, no bloat TW rom? I noticed Omega has a lot of additional features, which I would never use like the Xposed framework.
I was thinking of going with Goldeneye, but not sure if it has been updated to support I337M again.

same here ..
you should try xposed framework ,and wanam xposed .There a lot of xposed module and i can costumize touchwiz like i want,like maximize widget,wich allow me to click on a notification without having to unlock.For shure its a personnal choice.
But in omega you can choose the app that you want ,if you dont want xposed just unselect it ,it use aroma installer when you flash it,you can remove a lot of apps

Goldeneye never lost compatibility with our phones, so not sure what kind of support you expect or require.? IB4STiD simply requested not to complain from Canadian side for known problems, like lack of 4.3 modem for our phone, which we now got.
Simply flash Canadian compatible third party kernel, (one without knox) after flashing goldeneye, that's it.

Thank you a lot.
EDIT: Do you mean the kernel in step 6 in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47819176&postcount=9322
It's in GE thread, first post, Canadian fix. Guess iB4STiD opened it up for us again.
But basically go to original development and whichever tw kernel you pick, follow the links to Canadian or T-Mobile compatible version. Kernel makers usually describe whether we have our own or we should use T-Mobile one

So, as I understand, we absolutely need this Advanced CWM recovery if we are running MK6.
We can't use standard CWM or TWRP recovery?

From what I gather, we can use CWM or TWRP, it just blows the Knox counter and warranty is void. Which is why cf-auto-root can still root, and why u can just throw rom manager on to install cwm (then remove, dont install roms with rom manager). This is only for MK6 (rogers/canadian). I would try a cwm or twrp, and just use cf-auto root to reinstall the stock recovery with odin if you run into problems.

This is only relevant for GE versions 13/14. The latest is GE15. As already explained, just follow steps in 1st post. There is a section called 'Canadian install guide', can't miss it. The fix you flash after the rom is the kernel for our baseband (Step A). Easy as pie. Step B is optional, changes network icons from default to whatever your carrier uses (e.g., 4G to LTE).
I would recommend creating a backup of stock once rooted before flashing custom roms. Not sure if there's ever going to be a fix for resetting knox, but traditionally it was a good idea to have this in case you ever want to revert back to stock and unroot. Also backup EFS to be safe, for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546. I personally had to use an app for that after updating, knox kept preventing me from connecting to the program but that was when OTA was launched, might work for you.

FYI I did it the easy way using the Cyanogen Installer.
Ended with CM10.2 and CWM 6.0.4.4.
Then I flashed CWM Touch 6.0.4.4 from CWM. Downloaded TWRP but did not try it.

[Q] How do I get stock Kernel question

Hey all found this link http://mirrorfy.com/group/iphone-sa...re/forum/topics/galaxy-note-3-stock-firmware#
which lists all the stock firmwares for note 3s. I'm just confused on which one would I would download for my model. I'm with Telus up here in Canada, so I know it is a SM-N900W8, but they have so many listed with abbreviations for different regions. Just wondering which one I should be grabbing.
Also does firmware mean stock kernel. So I can flash this firmware on top of a ROM and get stock kernel back? Is that correct?
Thanks all

Have you flashed any custom roms? If not, you have stock kernel...
Stock rom - Original/samsung provided rom
Custom rom - anything that has been modified...
You need to do some SERIOUS reading BEFORE you decide to start flashing or you are going to end up with a very expensive paperweight...

Thanks for replying ultramag
Sorry should have been more clear, yes I have flashed a custom - I'm just getting the SE Android Enforcing message on boot up and read that I can get rid of it if I flash a stock kernel.
Although I can't find any information that says if that message is ok to live with?

What was your original firmware, original region?
That message is perfectly fine on custom kernels. It's just because it's not signed by Samsung is all.

FYI you can flash custom rom without tripping knox by using MOP
X-Note is brilliant with Battery life and performance is quick
+1 on loading x-Note :good:

cheers for that mate ill look into it, much appreciated champ
ALL the available ROM's are very good from all the devs, it's really personal preference, TW based, CM based, Heavily debloated, stock apps included etc, my advice is spend a few days flashing different one's and see which one suits your needs.
EDIT: Yeah you can flash via MOP etc, but if you have decided to trip KNOX then just fly and add a custom recovery, it'll save you a lot of time in the long run, but I need remind you again, you lose the warranty unless you are in the EU. - if you're happy your phone has no issues HW wise then trip away and enjoy it

Very doubtful someone will guide you step by step, the general idea is to root your phone, install a custom recovery, then install a ROM, there are many guides on how to do this which are tried and tested.
Have a search, it's hard to miss them.

Downgrade your device if you're on a new firmware, use a firmware for your model, flash it via odin (there are plenty of tutorials) root using towel root and you have a rooted phone, the way I did it will void your warranty and knox will be set to 0x1, this happens when you flash something you shouldn't via odin, I flashed a custom recovery, bootloader and modem via odin so my counter is no longer 0x0, there is a way you can root, install a custom recovery and flash a rom, find the Neat Rom thread in android development, get everything you need from there and fire away.
Research and read everything, until you understand it, but the general idea is, root, recovery then rom, forget about original android development for now, concentrate on actually finding a rom that will work on your device, the most common is mine which is the 900f, you're on h so you need to find one that is compatible, don't leap in without guiding yourself first, check and double check.
Good luck.

As most custom roms are pre-rooted flashing a recovery with Odin will do and there is no need to root the device first , then make a nandroid backup of your current rom in recovery and flash the rom (and Gapps for CM) of your choice. Flashing a custom recovery/kernel may void warranty though as KNOX will be tripped to 0x1. As you have the G900H CM is not option atm. You could root the phone and freeze all not needed apps and widgets with Titanium Backup.

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum, so I'd like to start off by saying hello. I have a question, I've rooted my Canadian Note 4 using the CF-AUTO Root, and I've flashed a custom recovery as well. Everything is working smoothly, however, I would like to know if there are any cool custom roms that I can flash to make my phone run differently/more effectively?
I've looked and seen a bunch of custom roms, but I'm not quite sure if it's safe to flash it to my canadian device.
Thanks in advance,
-Nick

Nick, you need to give this rom a try, its definitely the best one I've ever tried on three other devices. I'm also on the canadian N910W8 so you need to flash a custom kernel as well for this rom to work as its a for a tmobile variant. Happy flashing!
