I flashed the back ported Note 5 firmware onto my Note 3. At one point it let me search for companies and people right from my phone app so that I don't have to fish it off of the browser. Do you know how to enable that feature again? I checked the system and phone app settings, the Phronesis rom configuration, and the Google app, yet I'm coming up empty.
EDIT:
It's a new feature in Marshmallow, and I have Lollipop. One of the ROMs I had flashed was a Marshmallow ROM.

Hi all,
I noticed that the Google Edition Roms are starting to trickle in (Pulled from the Google Editions of our phone). Will we be able to flash it on our AT&T devices?
This will definitely make me flash instead of sticking with TW now. The Verge is reporting that they got a 3rd party remote app to work with their Google Edition S4!

Yes you should, just be sure to flash the att kernel and superuser zip before exiting recovery. Also, double check, but I've read you need the touchwiz version of our kernel not the aosp version which seems odd to me. From the reports I've read though, the google edition rom is very much a work iin progress. It's probably better to just wait a few days for the major s4 rom developers to incorporate the goodies into their roms.
I used the ROM that's going around for the i377m does not flash the Modem so those are both stock and the ROM runs perfectly from what i can tell so far (only been a few hours, still need to test LTE properly).
I think that the touchwize framework is still integrated deep in the ROM, it's just all the top level stuff has been removed. I've even heard reports of the touchwize camera, dialer and such working on the google edition.
Edit:
The ROM does flash the kernel, I'm using the [email protected] kernel and the phone is functioning properly.
Hi,
The CM builds have a privacy option in settings. Is this something that is available in the google edition roms at all? I've tried running the new 4.4.3 but this doesn't appear to exist which is a shame for me. Is there somethign that can be used to replicate it (if it isn't available)?
thanks
Re:
This feature is build into every Android. On stock and many other ROMs, this feature is hidden. the cyanogenmod "Privacy" settings tab only brings app the "vanilla" AppOps interface that is hidden by default. If you run an Android version UNDER 4.4 you can access the Privacy menu on your device without root. But you say you updated to 4.4.3, so I bet you'll have to root to bring up the menu. With or without root, you should try this "App Ops" app. I used it before sticking to Cyanogenmod. App Ops by Lars Team (can not post link to store - low rep)
But just as a recommendation, if you want true privacy on Android, you need to ditch the Samsung and Google stock bloatware and get some clean and true Android like Cyanogen. My device is more secure than ever and boots almost instantly (set device to performance mode) with CM11. Anyway, if you have plans to root, (... and void your warranty...) do it with Cyanogenmod. For i9505 devices, there is Cyanogenmod Installer which automatically roots your device and loads recovery and Cyanogen, without any risk, except the risk of voiding your warranty and having the device display "Warranty Bit 0" when entering recovery.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
I've been running the nightlies for CM for quite a while now but fancied trying the GE ROM that danvd brought out with 4.4.3 (already supersu). I looked in settings and couldn't see the option though so wondered if it was CM only or something. Didn't realise it was just hidden (as I've just gone back to CM backup after going through it all (including having to go back to ext format too). WIll definitely look for the app ops in play. Thank you
I had a rooted stock 4.2.2 android on my Sprint galaxy s4 SPH-L720, just a couple days ago I installed customized GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
The rom seems to be working well, very smooth and decent on battery, however there are a lot of the stock apps/features I miss. Some things like the quick menu, weather widget and voicemail app were just extremely useful, but I mainly miss the dialer. The one that came with the ROM will not let me accept calls without a bluetooth headset, all calls will go to VM which is a pain to get to with googlevoice.
I made backups with titanium backup, however that app will not run on the new rom. It says it needs the USB Debugging activated but I cannot find the option in the settings anywhere.

It won't work all Samsung apps require the TW framework witch is not part of the AOSP rom's.
P.S. to get USB Debugging you will have to go to about phone and press the build number a few times,
until it say's developer options enabled,
then press back and go into developer options there you will find USB Debugging.
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
Hey guys,
I really loved my S7 edge in the past, but with the last updates Samsung introduced some things that really bother me.
The worst things are the Samsung Members app and the "contact us" dialogue in every menu and the Volume safe warning.
Some weeks ago I decided to switch to a custom rom and found "SuperMan Rom" and "The Galaxy Project". Flashing these, I wasn't able to use Google Pay and Samsung Health anymore (even on stock). Root was always detected, even if not installed or hidden by magisk.
My Problem with these roms is, that they have built in features that I don't need and "SuperMan Rom" is discontinued...
I would like to have / make a rom which is the closest to stock possible, with all Apps which are not necessary removed and the latest version of those who are installed....and most important GPay and SHealth working.
Do you have any advice for me? I would be happy about any help!
