Who is Waiting and going to use CyanogenMod?

Just wondering if you all are going to flash CM when they make it or another AOSP?
I know it will come soon especially since the Nexus 5 will have similar specs as with the 9005

I've owned Android since the good old days of the Google G1.
I don't think I've seen 1 version of CM that ran perfectly, no ROM was ever 'finished'.... so I'll be staying away from them from now on.
I'm actually probably NOT going to root my Note 3, can't see what I need to root it for tbh.

My first was the original galaxy i7500 but my cm experience was on the milestone 2 then g2x.
I really like cm when a device is no longer supported by their respective companies.
When I had the nexus 4, I used the latest cm 10.2 nightlies because to me the stock AOSP was lacking a few functions.
The note 3 has its own set of functions that I don't think we will ever see on CM.
However, would be very nice to have a dual booting system so I could flip flop between the two.

If the s4 has it, I am sure the note 3 900 will get it too.
One the biggest reasons for getting the 9005 was because I wanted to stick with a SOC that is easier for devs to work with.
Especially about a year from now when Sammy releases the note 5 and forgets about the note 3, we can at least update to the latest Android with CM

I usually run Paranoid Android on all my devices, but my experience with stock/rooted Note 3 so far has been fantastic, so I'm probably just going to run with things as is for the time being. Once PA releases I'll probably have to reevaluate though ;p

I kinda feel the same, I bought a few apps recently because it's not rooted. and these apps I'm happy to support because I use them on a daily baisis, like business calendar, poweramp, mx player etc. but I do find root useful for ntfs micro sdcard, especially when a file is bigger than 10GBs.
but what I really liked about a custom rom was editing minor things, having 8 icons along the screen horizontally. instead of what right now, 4? also all apps are HUGE dpi. I feel like when I load my mail. every mother fcker can read it from 5 metres away from me lol..

Ill Probably try it but wont stay with it. Lately on my s4 ive been preferring modded TW roms and will probably continue that with the N3

Not Cyano itself, but I'm waiting for an AOSP derivate, SlimBean.
I don't want to even see Samsung's bloatware ever again.

I'm done with rooting and adding ROMs. I've rooted just about every phone I've owned, and they've never ran 100%. Something always had an issue and not running properly. Today's phone are almost perfect anyway. The Note 3 is bad ass just the way it is! If I do anything to it, it's maybe using Themer to give it a fresh look, but that's it?

I have been pretty impressed with the performance of the GN3 even after rooting. I am also using the s-pen functionality a lot more than i anticipated. I doubt there is any need to go the CM route.
A little off point, but someone mentioned they hadnt rooted yet. I had gone a week without rooting and was fine, but i had to root for tethering (havent installed an app yet though). So far, i have also included quite a bit of additional apps for the Pen Window - VERY handy.

I just need a ROM that will allow tethering.

what are these features?
I really hope Samsung implements LG KnockOn gesture though... to save me from pressing the hardware buttons again and again

Maybe a stupid question, but why are we not seeing any AOSP roms at this time ? With other devices they appeared much faster. Dont get me wrong, no trolling on ETA. Cant wait to see this beast (snapdragon 800) run stock android

I'm just waiting to be able to root my phone without voiding its warranty due to KNOX :/

multi window, pen window, air view, S note to name a few. And I generally like the look of touchwiz as well.

What is the most fun you can have without root?

Friend of mine bought a Note 3, he has no plans to root it though and I can't blame him because unless things have changed the triangle of doom is not removable... Right?
Anyway, can you guys list some must have tweaks for a stock phone? I am so used to having root on my Note 2 that I take it for granted - I mean, I honestly can't imagine not having SU access and all the goodies it brings to the table. Nova Launcher is the obvious place to start, as well as SwipePad (to save hitting the home button), what else?

Foe me, it will always be a firewall. the rest I have no need for, but I am probably in the minority.
BTW, I have to say that the question you ask has a very different connotation down here in Oz!

the most fun is watching all the bloatware sucking the battery out of your N3

Before I rooted mine, the most fun I was able to have was jumping on the XDA forums and reading about all the people who did have root.......

Thanks didn't know about SwipePad. It is great for the Note 3. Just discovered Swapps which is great for easy access to recent apps. Using both together now.

The most fun you can have without root is reading about those who have it :/ I don't trust myself not to screw up on the 'undetectable' roots..

I think it's emulating different portable consoles! N64, Gameboy, PSP, DS, etc. Installing launchers, changing icons, homescreen layouts, looking for the best apps in different categories. But hey, that's just me

You would have to ask your girlfriend

u can just disable all bloatware...
also im getting great battery live even though im not rooted

no root? can't even imagine how lame that must be... 480dpi by default? wtf is this phone for blind people? (no offense to blind people..)
no firewall? no bloatware removal? no titanium backup?...people actually use android phones without root? why not just buy an iphone then - my world collapses =)
I find it so hard not to flash a kernel and recovery just to keep the warranty intact - thank god we got that root de la vega method or else my warranty would have been voided 10 times already... =)

so even if u root there is no stable rom for Note 3 SM900
so where is the point to root......Kit Kat is ready for Note 3

You know you dont need to install the latest firmware just for the sake of it?
On my old Note 1 I kept using CM 4.1.2 over 4.2.2 builds for a long time because I didnt like the new notification panel stuff and waited until aokp modded 4.2.2 to include traditional toggles etc. Plus it was more stable and things that I wanted to run actually worked better.
So all I'm sayin is, if you have root for rom x but there is an update to y, with no known root method yet.. then me personally I'd always chose the rooted rom over the non-rooted - unless there is something huge that youre missing out. And dont worry, root will eventually come to all the roms. (at least if youre willing to trip the knox flag)
But this is just my personal opinion off course - I just cant imagine anymore how it is to have no root for an extended period of time.. (my first phone without all this knox bs cockblocking was rooted by me right away and never lookin back hehe)

[Q] Buy Nexus 10?

I'm interested in purchasing the Nexus 10 32GB tablet for £389 on Google Play Store but have few questions I want to ask before buying as I never owned a tablet before,
1. I heard the Nexus 10 has a locked bootloader, is it easy to unlock it to root and install custom ROM?
2. Is it easy to root the tablet?
3. I want to stay as stock as possible, is there any custom ROM out there that is based on the original 4.4.2 firmware with few performance tweaks and deodexed apps?
4. Does this tablet have alot of wakelocks which stops it from deep sleep which will drain the battery?
5. Any problems with this tablet I should know?

I'm very surprised none has answer this... Here's my answer to the best of my knowledge:
1.- yes it comes with a lock bootloader , it's unlocks super easy I used Wug's root tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
2.- Wug's root toolkit does it for you too!
3.- Sure Here's one example of a Odex or deodex Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529492
4.- Wakelocks not more than the next tablet or cellphone all have a solution if any exist.. so many tutorials all over XDA how to handle wakelock.
5.- ONLY real problem I see with these tablet is the lack of a SD card slot.. other than that I love the screen, it handles very well just about any game.

I've wakelocks on my Galaxy S4 which I use Greenify to hibernate the apps but it uses XPosed which I've a game which doesn't run if it detects XPosed is installed due to cheating or something like that, but probably will use Titanium Backup to freeze Google Play Store and Service if not needed at that time

I agree but I'll be getting the 32GB version so I hope there's plenty of space for me since the 16GB is out of stock
Also what advantages or features is there between CM (Manta) and stock 4.4.2?

I got 32gb and that cover enough to rarely need more plus with rooting and otg cable you can use USB storage. I use a 500gb NTFS drive works with stickmount and selinux mode changer

Just some heads up this tablet is pretty good with only one account but when you add multiple users it starts to slow down. I have 3 on mine and I have to reboot whenever switching from one to another now or it'll lag because of ram used by other account. If you only use one it'll be great though. It's still great for me either way though I wouldn't mind an upgrade

yea google will no longer stock the nexus 10 i read that a few days back... some think because nexus 10 2 is coming soon.
Yea I got the 32GB as well.. u get like 27GB for storage the rest it's for system and stuff, but yea u have more than enough but it's always nice to have the option..
CM,AOKP,Paranoid,Pac-man, OMNI, they all have special features and are very different from any stock Rom, I would tell you but what fun would that be lol ... get it, root it and flash on and see for yourself.. I'm sure u will find something u will enjoy
BTW Greenify doesn't require Xposed Framework, unless u want to activate a few extra options or if u have the donate version, I have it on my phone and I don't have Xposed.

Exynos Always Listening

Hey guys. I 'm looking to buy the Note 4 and I have some quick questions .
1)I remember when it first came out, that the Snapdragon version had the option in Google Now, for "Always On" listening, even when the screen is off. Is this option still available? Does the Exynos Version of the Note 4 supports this function?
2)Which version is more stable and has the best support here on xda, not so much on the regard of custom roms, but on the regard of mods etc?
Thanks a lot

1. Idk
2. About custom rom snap better
About mod all same

1) It works. Open google settings activate Always On. Now an assistant starts for downloading FPSV background accoustic model. Download it and follow all further steps. To start google now instead of s-voice you could use xposed module HiGoogle.

I don't have the device yet but I'm planning on buying it. Without root, it doesn't open google now out of the box as it used to?

No need to root, there's S for Switch Voice in the playstore. It's working perfectly without root. Using it instead of xposed HiGoogle, too.

Great. Do you have the Exynos version?

Yes, it's legit. The directions are all in the dev section.
BTW, this is only for unlocked bootloaders. ATT and VZW just move along....nothing to see here.
You need to flash twrp and a custom kernel and then download supersu from the play store. Enjoy.

You can oem unlock(boatloader unlock) the T-Mobile version in dev settings and when turning it on it gives notice that protection features will not work when turned on. So guessing that yes it does disable Knox. Also guessing the OP rooted using a common root method and unlocking the boatloader

Now that we have root are a lot of you going to root it? If so, why? I usually root my phones to tweak them to get the best battery life and performance with custom kernels and roms and apps like greenify. But the phone performs great and the battery life is great after debloating. I guess we'll have to see what the developers come up with but I'm loving life so far without root for the first time in a long time.

i need wifi tether (though i didn't need to root my S6e to get it to work). but some apps i want to use require root (fonts apps, emoji switcher, titanium, etc.). also, i want to uninstall some factory apps i don't use which just bugs me. hopefully a root will come soon for the Note 5 Duos that won't trip KNOX.
