Which custom ROM to use?

Hi guys,
I need to update my phone as my current setup is having Bluetooth issues - and I read it happens on Android 4.3, but is fixed in 4.4 onwards.
I need a ROM which allows the following fixes:
1) Bypass security settings on emails that require you to put a PIN/Password to unlock your phone every single time.
2) Remove messages from the call log. Not sure if this was fixed in the newer android versions but it was very annoying when I first got my phone. I only want to see calls in my call log.
Can anyone recommend a ROM which will allow these fixes? I don't need any other features - just need something as light as possible.
Cheers

Wanam Xposed has the second option, you can use it on any stock based ROM, at the same time Arya Mod is the best TouchWiz based ROM available in my opinion, but it is by no means light. About the first option, I think Arya has that too, but not at all sure.

Thanks mate, will keep that in mind if I cant find a lighter a ROM.
Does anyone know of a light ROM which will do the above?

Temasek cm roms are pretty good.

Norma N5 Port V15, Phronesis V4.1 good, i tested. MinimalOS is very fast and light but need some apps for default messages, etc

Hi guys,
I just noticed Wanam Xposed has the option to bypass exchange security. Therefore, I want to find a light ROM which is based on Android 4.4 or higher, and has the ability to use Wanam Xposed. What ROM would I be best to use?
Alternatively, could I just install the newest stock ROM, and then root it and install Wanam Xposed?
Cheers

The last time i read in order for xposed to work on lollipop, it has to be deodexed. Try multiX by tkari4. It's the only KK rom left supported here.

I second Temasecks Rom. It's Great.

I'm using Pronesis Rom ported from Note 5.
I think it's good enough, there are a few bugs but everything works great. I would recomend you to use this rom.

ALEXNDR Roms are great too if you dont want a custom rom that makes your android look like nothing.

I'm using Dark AU rom found on Samsungviet website, very stable even more than stock imho. It's a Note 5 rom ported for Note 3.
This rom has none of the issues you've mentioned. If you want to bypass security try using google's smart lock feature build into lollipop. If you want to open anything from the lock screen you will always need to unlock

[Help] choosing the right rom for my needs

Hello guys! fist thing, I searched for the answer on other threads but can't find what I'm looking for. Basically I'm a newbie in this sort of things, I rooted my Note 3 yesterday and now I seek for a good rom for my phone. I felt the urge to do so because I wanted to get rid of the stock apps (like chaton, s health and so on. I tried to uninstall them with system app remover but they keep coming back as soon as I turn on the Wifi) and to have more control of my device, but since there're so many roms I got a bit confused, especially when it comes to kernel stuff etc.
I want a stable rom (with a normal battery drain) which gives me the possibility to use the S-Pen (I use the stylus often for taking fast note and stuff) and NFC.
I really liked the DarkWolf rom which basically convert a note 3 into an S7, battery life is good, S pen works fine BUT seems like it comes with samsung bloatwares and NFC doesn't work.
So, is there a rom that respect my needs?? what about the kernel? which one should I use??
thanks in advance
PS. My note 3 is the N9005 model,rooted, running official Samsung android 5.0

Go for AryaMod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
If you by any chance don't mind about NFC then I'd go for Phronesis - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-phronesis-rom-v1-0-stable-feature-t3241910
Both have solid battery life without the need of tweaking the kernel. The kernel is good out of the box.
About your problem of apps installing back then why don't just disable them from Settings- Application Manager or disable auto download updates from play store. Since your are rooted you can use a root explorer and go to /system/apps and /system/priv-app to delete them completely.

Remove bloatware via Titanium Backup Pro .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels use the one that comes with the rom .

First thanks for the reply I can overlook NFC if Phronesis is better or has additional features than Aryamod however is there something good based on marshmallow?

Marshmallow ports has lots of bugs and battery drains a bit faster than LP though not that much. I'm currently on Darklord S7 Edge Beta2 port. Though all basic things are working like Wifi, BT and Data so I can do stuff with an internet. Camera has bugs like modes are not working only the stock capture and recording.
Some bugs for marshmallow based on darklord's rom, some are already fixed in bete 2;
- Always on not working
- Sound alive not working
- Sview not working
- Some camera mode not working (hardware limited)
- Hotspot not working
- Do not disturb time setting FC
- Handwriting not working
- Direct input cant change language
I think Phronesis rom has more features since its a Note5 port with a little touch of edge feature. I'm quite happy with it overall. It's the rom I'm using when going out of town or out of the country. The thread also has a Q&A section so you can find things faster when you encounter a problem. It also has some alternatives for NFC in q&a.
Ah totally forgot about Titanium Backup. As @JJEgan said you can remove bloatware from it as well instead of manually deleting them using a root explorer.
EDIT:
Phronesis rom comes with a kernel so you don't have to worry about them. It is good out of the box without tweaking it. For Arya I forgot already, maybe it is using the stock kernel and that is the reason why you have to flash official rom first before flashing it.

Thank you bratboo and JJEgan for the help. I think I'll give a shot to Phronesis waiting for a more stable marshmallow based rom

Smart view is not connecting in Samsung Note 3 custom Marshmallow version

I am unable to connect to mirascreen hdmi cast through smart view in Samsung Note 3 running Marshmallow. It is connecting with rooted Samsung S3 running KitKat without any issues. I also tried by adding "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" in build.prop but still no use.
Pls help.

What rom ????
See your identical post ??

Phronesis v5. Model N900W8

If it works on a stock ROM but not the custom ROM, sounds like the ROM is not capable of that function on the phone.

It works on custom rom till TW v5.1.1 but it is not working on TW v6.0.1

There is no stock mm ROM for the note 3 so it sounds like smart view needs a stock ROM or a custom ROM based on a stock LP ROM.

But many are saying Smart view works on their Note 3 phone with custom marshmallow rom. For me it works only when newly installing the rom and later it suddenly stops working.

Maybe ask in the ROM thread? I'm not sure why if would stop working.
