If you mean safe as in the rom doesnt contain malware and doesnt screw up your phone, custom roms on XDA are absolutely safe. The community tests them out and report bugs and the devs keep on churning out better and better versions.

Well then you've got to live with it. You can't just flash another rom and hope that the features from the previous rom will stay. It wont.
You've got 3 options :
A - Stay with PAC, wait till they update to 4.3
B - Wipe your PAC, flash PA 4.3 and live with it.
C - Compile your own rom with your own features.
If you wanna keep your APPS and APP DATA, use titanium backup.

you backup all your apps to sd card.. after you are done with 4.3 you install titanium backup and restore them.. some apps you might need to update if not updated already..
Okay thank you

There's no best, it depends on the user. Search for your device custom rom list and start from there.
Best means....no bug...smooth n battery friendly..gud performance....gud appearance. ...power user tools etc

Unless you have a developers edition you can not flash kernels however with the retail version you can root, install safestrap and custom ROMs from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/development

The retail version has never been unlocked. Which is why there are no kernels.

Custom recovery question

When I flash factory images in bootloader and then flash my custom recovery do I still need goo manager to make it stick?

Is it possible to reflash the old recovery after flashing a custom ROM?

Yes, but why would you want to? You can't make a nandroid backup in the stock recovery

My daughter needs a phone, I was going to flash rastakat because it gave me better battery life. I'm afraid she will reboot into recovery and flash something that's not a ROM/kernel.

Yes, you could.

Sounds like it's a good time to learn responsibility. If she's old enough to have a phone, have her buy an inexpensive android. There are a mess of them. I've found my kids to be better stewards of the things they've had to work for than things just given to them.

Two recoveries?

Hello experts I have a question can I have two custom recoveries on my note 3 at the same time? A friend of mine has 3 recoveries on his xperia z1!
Sent from my SGPT12 using XDA Free mobile app
It's possible, but why? I don't see what the point of this would be.
What would you use the 2nd recovery for? Or even the 3rd.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I love Cwm but for some roms I need twrp and I would like to have both
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
TWRP is best and in active development. Hate it and be happy. Or is it Philz recovery that combin cwm and twrp, but not in development if im not wrong?:S As said best bet is TWRP .
So there isnt any method to have both

No you can't put them together yourself unless you are a developer who knows how to do. Never heard of it.
Ok thank you
