Hi there,
I'am Note 3 n9005 user and I feel that android kitkat is most stable and gives best user experience. My question is where will I find clean stock kitkat ROM.
When I say clean I mean all bloatware apps are gone and Google as well. I know that I can clean ROM with apps such as titanium backup but it never works best.
Current android custom ROM that is on my device is Omega kitkat 4.4.2
Regards,
gnide93
I suggest looking in the development forum. There several ROMs based on tw, cm, and aosp.
I have a Canadian Note 3 and some of the note 5/s6 ports are nice although they are not kk.

Hi Guys,
I recently rooted my note 3 SM-N9005 version 4.4.2 with kernel 3.4.0-1703205 and got a few questions which I hope you guys can help me with.
1) By installing AOSP or Custom Roms, will Knox be tripped by default? If yes, are there ways to avoid this for different AOSP or Customs Roms?
2) After installing either AOSP or Custom Roms, can I still install launchers on top of it? Will there be any problems running both simultaneously?
3) Do I need to restore back all the bloatware and back it up as original before proceeding to install either AOSP or Custom Roms or I can just proceed to install?
4) What is the main difference between AOSP & Custom Roms other then size differences? Which is better for note 3 in an overall view?
5) Currently which of the AOSP or Custom Roms are tops or best for note 3, should I'm looking more into performance of my device? ( batt life, speed etc. )
Cheers and Thanks in advance!!!
1. Yes, as you have the N9005.
2. You can install launchers on stock ROM
3. No
4. In this case, AOSP will be a custom ROM as well as it is not stock. If you mean what's the difference between AOSP and TW, it means you get the stock Google experience and lose all of Samsung's bloat and some useful features such as S Note and the S Pen apps (S Pen still works but not Screen Write or Action Memo).
5. AOSP imo - C-RoM. Note 3 TW - X-Note. Note 3 and S5 - S5 port by fahadali.

Hi Nicholaschum,
Thanks for the reply & clarification.
Hello.
It's the fist time I'm gonna flash a modded Rom cause after a year the phone its staring to do weird things. I'm still at 4.3 Jellybean.
My phone is rooted with stock TouchWiz.
The less wissles and options the better. I don't use the S-pen and would like to have a simple and battery friendly Rom with a good camera app.
Also I'm worry for the sdcard problems i read everywhere and stability.
I guess a Rom with 4.4.4 is better than 4.4.2 but in this so not sure.
What Rom do you recommend?
Thank you!
first you need to choice if you want TW or CM rom...
if TW you need to upgrade bootloader and flash stock KK rom and root and flash custom...
if CM11 no need to upgrade KK and you can flash what you want
for CM12 you need KK bootloader too
Thank you for quick answer.
I read that Cyanogenmod Roms are not optimized and made for Note 3.
Is there a Rom made specifically for N9005 with the features I posted?
1. Go to the Note 3 Android development subforum.
2. Read about the different ROMs.
3. Decide which one you want to try.
4. Flash it.
5. Repeat as necessary.
There are no short cuts. Do the research yourself, only you know if you'll be happy with your choice.
Ok thank you.
Will all the Kitkat based Roms have issues with the Sdcard I read I forums?
I recommend to you the rom which made by Alexander.. And omega rom as a second choice.. Good luck

please, i have this rom
[ROM][N9005] Galaxy S5 Stock ROM - Final v40.0 - Clean, Fast and Stable - [OTA]
have i already in kk bootloader? or not sure? how can i check?
thanks
I'm trying to find Alexander Rom you suggested but i cant find it in the forum. (I'm new with all this about roms).
What is the name of Alexander's Rom?
Well you can use stock ROM, and uninstall all the nonsense apps with any root supported uninstall app, but you still will be forced to have those S related features, S-Scroll, S-Stay and all those nonsense features (which I never have used, ever). Now if you AOSP way then you won't have all those things and you will have a clean ROM but you will miss the lovely S-Pen integration of TouchWiz based ROMs.
So you have to decide according to your preference. I don't believe that AOSP/CM based ROMs are 100% bug free for Note 3, but please correct me if I am wrong. I am an AOSP lover too.
And I also don't believe 4.4.4 has much advantage over 4.4.2 other than some security patches.

Hello everyone!
First thread here. Been a long time lurker and been grabbing and flashing custom ROMs for the nexus 5 until i switched to the note 4 (beautiful device, really). Well, since i cant post in the development thread due to my status as a new member, i thought kd post my inquiry here.
Im looking for custom ROMs for the 910c variant. I prefer to keep the TouchWiz features so AOSP ROMs, even though great, are not what im looking for. Glamor rom ported from the s6 seems very tempting, but being based on 5.0.1 (2?) Im a bit skeptical about it. My 910c is running on stock unrooted 5.1.1 which is great in terms of performance and battery life and id appreciate it if i could be directed on custom ROMs based on this build (any sign of a note 5 port? That would be ideal).
My problem with the 5.0.x builds, apart from the various bugs that the amazing, most talented devs have surely taken care of is that i read somewhere in the development forum (exynos) is that if i make a backup of my phone (running on 5.1.1) from kies and restore it on a custom ROM based on 5.0.x, well, im gonna have problems.
So....any recommendations?
All help would be appreciated
base on s6 port... i can recommend 2...
Sixperience http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sixperience-s6-port-v1-0-stable-t3190233
Glamor http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/glamour-s6-rom-t3136786
glamor got a screen freeze problem... but not everyone got it... I prefer sixperience for stable usage. Sixperience dev are currently porting N5 apps. When will it be release... cant say but he has make a great progress.
Base on 5.1.1
Wanam Lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-wanamlite-clean-odex-xposed-t2923266
eRobot http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/erobot-rom-note4-n910c-7-xxu1bog1-t3174248
RulingLite http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/4-4-4-rom-tr-rom-t01-super-fast-powerful-t2936453 (this one got a lil s6 apps)
thats all right now...
Im using Sixperience Rom..
Known bugs:
- touch key light not working
- Fingerprint
Best rom I've used so far...
Thanks a lot guy! I'll check out wanamlite and erobot! Hoping glamor rom and sixperience get upgraded to 5.1.1
hi all
I've always used a stock rom for the note 4
I want to have full access on the phone (in order to be able to control network access, for instance for apps forcing LTE mode (advanced network settings) or for battery saving apps that cannot shut down data when needed)
I tired to root my stock rom but that wasn't enough for those apps (forcing LTE or battery saving apps )
Can some tell me which custom rom make that possible ?
thanks
Is there some stable Android 6.0 ROM, ideally without samsung bloatware and withouth "not working" things ?
And if not, which lite Android 5.0 ROM whould you suggest ?
There is no android 6 Samsung rom for the S4.
And there are no 100% bug free roms. Bugs differ from user to user, and this is something the developers can't fix, because they can't foresee every little problem.
In the android 5 category you should definitely look at the GPE rom.
Hi folks,
it's a long time i didn't upgrade my phone to a new ROM, and I'd like to ask suggestions on how to do that.
Here my tech specs:
- i9505 international unbranded Galaxy s4 (rooted)
- TWRP version 2.8.5.0
- WANAMLite Rom Kitkat 4.4.2
- Xposed Framework with wanamlite xposed
- Nova Launcher
I saw there are plenty of new roms, but I'd like to know:
- Lollipop or mashmallow? Any experience?
- I was interested in the resurrection remix 6.0.1, anyone has tried it?
- How do I proceed at best without losing settings and data?
- Backup with TWRP or Titanium?
- Should I Wipe everything or can I simply keep my data?
Sorry if I'm asking the same questions everybody does, was just too much time off the scene
thanx

Believe me, it's better to stay on Wanam Lite, maybe one of the best and Stable roms ever made for the galaxy S4, even though it's running kitkat. Do you still have the link for Wanam lite 3.1? Can't find it anymore. Thanks a lot!
When changing ROMs and/or Android versions it is always recommended to do a full wipe.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup and your ROM with TWRP.
As to the matter of best ROMs, that is a very subjective matter.
ISF prefers TouchWiz ROMs. I prefer custom ROMs, like CM based or AOSP based.
Check the Resurrection Remix thread for experiences. I find it's the most customizable ROM available so far, but I'm not actually running it right now.
I'd go for Marshmallow just because of a slight performance increase over Lollipop.
If you want even more performance, check out the JDCTeam ROMs (Optimized CM13, AOSP and Optimized Slim6).
Some of the newer ROMs may require an up-to-date bootloader and modem.
First of all thank you guys.
Yeah I'm actually looking for a non touchwiz rom also. I'll check out
In this old post the link doesn't work:
