Convert Note 3 to Note 5

Hi, I have read somewhere that it is possible to convert a Note 3 to a Note 5. I'm just wondering if it's possible.

Did you try the DL port?

I did. Everything worked bar possibly the video recording... but not Netflix (wont load movie)/iPlayer (not synced) and Youtube also has problems with playback. Still looking for a solution.
(Should have added. I have the exact same problem on all Android 5.0 and 5.1 roms I've tried, regardless if they are ports not Note 5/S6 or custom Note 3 stock roms)

For video recording fix, choose Note3 camera when you flash the ROM. The flickering is also resolved in Kernel 1.5 - search the thread for the download link. I'm running DL RC2.1 with DL kernel 1.5 - I don't have any mods installed.
As for the other issues, dirty flash the ROM. If the issues are also on the other ROMs as you said, it's clearly not the ROM issue.

I've tested the camera today on various roms (5.0/5.1) and also using the Note 3 camera. Each one crashes, sometimes rebooting the phone, whenever I try to record video in the camera. Instagram video recording doesn't work either.
I'm pretty new to this and I''m not sure how installing a different kernel might fix/change things? Not sure what a kernel is.

Like I said before, if you have tried different ROMs and the issue persists, it may be a hardware issue with the phone/camera.
The Kernel is the Operating System that runs your phone - it's based on Linux (a type of Operating System). Search for it on the Internet - the link on Wiki gives you a pretty good idea what it is.
How to install the ROM/Kernel is in the First Post of that DardLord Thread. The updated kernel (the current ROM comes with v1.1) is to be installed using custom Recovery.

Also, you'd probably want to upgrade your modem and bootloader as well. I did some research and I'm not using the ones they recommend in the DL Thread. I'm using BOJ1 Bootloader and POF3 Baseband. They work fine together, but remember that the latest isn't always the best.

I flashed darklord rc 2.1 and DL kernel 1.5.it s ok just problem with slow motion and fast motion.
Will it fix in next version?

My baseband is N9005XXUENE3, which Google tells me is a Vodafone Australia one. I'm using the handset in the UK on EE. Not sure what my bootloader is.
I'm currently using OS X so don't have Odin, but I hope to put stock firmware back on it when I get access to Windows. I'm not sure if I should put back on the Australian firmware or put on UK firmware. Do you know if there are any issues with changing countries firmware? Both are N9005 international.

I have flashed multiple times, both official firmwares and custom ones. It also depends on each situation. Your beginning point and your end state will determine whether or not you are successful. In any case, research before you touch the internals of the phone.

I think we are a bit confused. The topic of this thread was around an alternative ROM to our aging Note 3, which Samsung won't provide further upgrades. The alternative ROMs will breathe a new breath of life - which is what DL ROM aims to accomplish.
I can't offer solutions to the ROM related issues or provide any fix schedules, those questions need to be asked on the related threads.

Ah yes. Because the ROM thread is in the Developers section. What I can suggest is to search the thread and perhaps someone has already asked the same question? Or just bookmark the thread and closely monitor the latest activity.
I think the post restriction will be lifted after a user contributes enough to XDA.

I've installed Aurora Team Note 5 on my N9005. It looks good but kids mode. When I try to open, it stops.

No you cant actually turn your note 3 into note 5 but you can install custom roms based on note 5.

Thanks. I only have a Mac so flashing roms can get a bit more tricky. Although yesterday I used my friend's Windows computer and Odin to successfully flash a stock rom. I'm now running the latest UK 5.0 firmware, and no issues. I think now I could probably root it again and use DarkLord N5 rom and possibly wouldn't have the same issues I was having before now that the baseband has been updated, but at the moment I think I'll keep it stock.

Sounds good. To an average user, there aren't a lot of visible changes between 5.0 and 5.1.1 anyway. Unless something you desperately need is missing from stock or you want to be on bleeding edge technology, there is no reason to stress with the custom ROMs

5.1.1. does look a little better, but I'm happy with a fully functioning 5.0. As much as I like the 5.1.1. roms, I'm not keen on the ones that are ports and have features that don't work, or don't work well.

GMS core is back !!!

due to offical forum,GMS is back.
you have to uninsatll your GMS core (if there is) first. (neccessary)
then update your firmware to B135. (neccessary)
after, go to huawei store ,find "GMS 安装器" and install .
enjoy!!
I tested, It works !!
My device ： MHA-AL00 B135 (Update from B125，china edition) 4G+64G.

It works!
I upgraded my mate9(4+32) from b125(?) to B135, and installed this app. After reboot, the GMScore is installed, and all Gapps I installed later works.
It seems that this third-party has found a way to flash a custom zip through Huawei's new recovery.
Can anyone look into the mechanism?

I think this is not third-party but actually official. Because Bruce Lee, the Huawei VP of Handsets Product Line also posts this app in his Weibo.
Though HUAWEI may don't want to officially acknowledge it for some reason.

But you can see backup here http://imgur.com/a/5DN61, maybe I need delete this image later.
The app link is here http://a.vmall.com/app/C10736615

It is an official app
APK name:com.huawei.gmsinstaller.1611301922
APK signature: [email protected], CN=AndroidTeam, OU=TerminalCompany, O=Huawei, L=Shengzhen, ST=Guangdong, C=CN

So this app installs Google apps, without any Google play issues, on the Chi es version of the Mate 9? Even ROMs later than that one ending in 9 where Play works?

yes. IT seems like an official app, but released by third party.
when you click install button., IT require reboot,reboot to recovery！as far as we know, only huawei knows how to install software through recovery.
I test most Google apps,like play.play games, gmail. and etc . all work well.

Nice. I ordered Chinese Mate 9 with the firmware that is already good for Play but this will allow me to update firmware and keep Google Play working.

Yep, that is what it means. I still got one with the 009 firmware so it works out of the box myself, but now will have the option to use this to be able to update the firmware to more recent version and get Play working.

Curious about best practice here. Best to take it out of the box, update to latest OTA firmware version, then install and run GMS to get play and setup your stuff? Or, best to setup an 009 firmware Chinese version with all your stuff, then update firmware, then install and run GMS and your stuff?

I think it's always the best idea to update fresh. So my take would be to take it out of the Box, update it to the latest, install GM's and then set it up.

The Chinese version is about $100 cheaper than the international version and does not come with a preloaded GMS core. The lack of GMS somehow irrritated lots of so-called high-end Chinese users that frequently travel internationally. There was heated dicussion and deep dissapointment spreading in the official Huawei forum and people threatened to return the device if Huawei does nothing to satisfy them on GMS core availability. According to someone close to the management, it is because the neogotiation between Huawei and Google on the use of GMS did not work out and maybe it is true that Google charges HUAWEI on the use of GMS on domestic devices. It is all possible that Huawei marketed the mate 9 relatively cheaper in rhe Chinese market in order to take more market share, and do not want people from other countries to take advantage of the lower price of the Chinese version as it will harm the premium figure Huawei tries to establish on the mate 9. So to ease the Chinese users that need GMS and prevent internstional users from importing from China, they released this GSM installer in a "secret" way.

Just tried it and it seems to be working for me. Did you set the Google now launcher as the default launcher?

thats awesome guys...thanks for the feedback..ordered mine a few days ago..got it in..mocha brown is so beautiful...turned it on, only to be greeted by a Google Sign-In.....turns out the seller i turned down before that originally had chinese version, got in the international aisa version and sent that to me when i told them it again...now just sitting around for the update to hit....meh...still a beautiful phone, looks to be a good replacement to my note 7!

I got mine, had B109 with working Google services and I uninstalled all the Google stuff, did OTA to B125. Then it offered B135 OTA so did that. After reboot I stalled GMS and Play store and all good. Had to install Google contacts from APK mirror, and had to go to permission manager and allow Google app as trusted and auto start to get OK Google functionality working g but all good now.

so if i were to buy the mha-l00 chinese version of mate 9 and do this GSM update thing, then will i get the google play store and all its google goodness services working (all while keeping my phone updated with the latest official huawei updates)? will this GSM upgrade patch also allow other apps such as youtube, facebook, or other so called "banned apps in china" to work properly? or is this update patch limited to just using google play store and its services? basically changing a chinese version of the mate9 to a international version? is this correct? i am asking becuase I live in china and use the youtube app, as well as other foreign apps and games regularly on my other US bought phone (i dont like using the website versions of youtube, or facebook, etc) and i wish to do the same with the mate 9.
Its important for me to know and be sure because i already bought the mha-l00 version once the day it came out here in china but sold it at a loss a week later because i couldnt get the google stuff working, as well as the youtube app (all while on my vpn...) and i dont want to get screwed again...
im also visiting HK in a week and ill be on the lookout for the mha-l29/09 version there and hopefully ill find it and it wont be too much more expensive there then in mainland china. OR if i can be 110% sure that this GSM patch will support any and all foreign apps on the mha-l00 (in mainland china, while on my vpn), then maybe i wont need to wait to get to HK and look for it there, and maybe also save myself a few bucks, again... Thanks duraaraa for all your awesomeness and hard work!!!

rom is smooth.Thanks for your work.
fm radio is the only issue.(i hope fixed on next build)
good rom for daily driver.

Wew great work sur thanks for bringing CAF flavour for santoni pie

Nice and stable rom for daily use. Thanks for the update.

The only thing is that it's too heavy for the 2gb variant, imo. After 2 days of usage the available RAM goes down to a mere 400-500 MB.
This is one of the smoothest and most stable ROMs otherwise

Question, should i flash this or the caf edition?

I have tried a pixel experience about 5 months ago and after 3-4 weeks i started getting annoying advertisements in the main screen and i figured out they were coming from the launcher. Anyone else had the same problem ?

Hi,
Thanks for this development.
I had an issue using the CAF edition.
My phone was not able to connect with the data connection.
Using the non-caf edition, it works.
Using the non-caf edition, I had another issues. When I switched between Wifi en hotspot wifi, the UI crashed sometimes.
And the assistant is not able to understand the name of the contact, and ask every time to repeat it,when you try to ask to it to send a message.

Battery with using Bluetooth ist bad for me.
10 Minutes Bluetooth like 5 % Battery.
Anyway to fix this?
Thx!

New be looking for help

Hi guys. I got a galaxy s5 sm-g900t with tmoblie. And basically I think I'm looking for a rom. Browsing around I'm not sure which one to get plus the last time I flashed a rom there was way less info lol. I'll have to freshen up on how to root.
And then there this linage thing. I'm so lost.
What I'm looking for is basically a bare bones that has all the bloat gone and system apps that aren't used. I'd like a dark mode but if I remember correctly that's a package I add?
But ya I'm running umm 6.0.1 and it's suddenly gotten slow and buggy and I haven't done anything so any help is apprieated. Thanks.

Haven't actually found a rom. I was thinking the linage os. 16.x but seems like a high chance of me screwing it up.
Guess I'm basically looking for a bloat free stock rom that's got a speed boost. I've looked bc it seems like that would of been done but I didn't find one? Probably searching wrong.
Atm the biggest issues I'm having is maps, fb lite, camera, Gmail get very slow and none responsive to the point the phone reboots. Mind you I have tried rooting or flashing anything yet. It's still stock.

Don't Worry , you are searching for the wrong thing ,
I have tried so many ROMs one of them is fast and stable,
Search resurrection remix --> Website --> Download -->pie --> klte --> Find The Latest Version ,Go To The Bottom , Now download the one before the last one , that is 400mb , that is our ROM we need to download .
For custom recovery :twrp , root : magisk
Flash twrp tar image in Odin , choose the ap tap , don't touch anything else , or find a tutorial on YouTube on how to flash twrp

Atm the biggest issues I'm having is maps, fb lite, camera, Gmail get very slow and none responsive to the point the phone reboots. Mind you I have tried rooting or flashing anything yet. It's still stock.

Make sure you make full backups before flashing custom ROM in twrp , that if anything goes wrong , you can always revert by restoring to your old backup.

MOST IMPORTANTLY IS TO DOWNLOAD GOOGLE APPS (GAPPS) : visit opengapps.org and choose arm and 9(pie) and nano or pico , pico has less gapps and nano have more gapps that are not available in play store .
So you need to flash it in twrp !

just got this device

Hi I was just given this tablet. It's a galaxy tab 2 10.1. so it's model number is gt-p5113. The android version is 4.2.2 build number jdq29.p5113ueucmk3
It was hardly ever used by the previous owner. When I charged it up and booted it up it was very very laggy. Of couse I did a factory reset fist thing. I went through and disabled all the useless apps on it. And it seems to be better.
I would.like to know if this tablet can be unlocked and install a clean version of Android on it. AOSP is what I would like to do with this. So is that possible? I have been using nexus and pixel for so long it's hard to remember all the stuff involved with doing all this. I would.like to get a newer version of Android on it. It doesn't have to be android 10 just a stable beer version. Is odin still the way to go with samsung? I do have android debug software on my PC so my pc should be good to go just need to install samsung drivers.
The main purpose of this tab is going to be for vision chats. I am moving so I want to be able.to see my nephew.
I. Not a rookie at flashing and modding but it has been a long time so if someone can give me a good place to start and there experienced with this tablet I would greatly appreciate it. If I can't put AOSP on then I will.jist disable as.much as I can and install pixel.launcher and all that and go that route. Just let me know what you pros think I'm open to whatever you guys have to say

thank you for the suggestion. I was able to get 4.4.4 running completely aosp. Very nice and clean build. However I cant figure out root and I can't get anything higher than 4.4.4 going. It installs 6.0 but it won't boot. Most of the links in the galaxy tab form are not valid because this is so old. Is the file system different? How can i get 6 or 7 on this tablet? I can't even find stock files from Samsung to flash with Odin anymore. Do you have any valid linksorfilesfor this device? Or any advice on where to look? And again thank you for your help.

Sounds like you forgot to wipe data when installing 6.0...

Find android andi's github. He's got a lot of information there

Thank you again I appreciate it. I did wipe everything I even tried to redownload 6.0. The only thing I can think of is I am trying to install from the external sd card. Maybe I should try to put it on the internal sd card. But 4.4.4 works fine from the external card so I don't know. and oddly 4.4.4 only works with the pico gapps all other gapps make it not boot weird right? I have never come across that before. I never really had much luck modding tablets. And its been a long time since I did anything other than pixel/nexus. I am definitely a more pure android fanboy. anyway thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
edit: Ah I feel like an idiot. I was using an older version of twrp i found a newer version thank to you. 6.0 booted with no problems!!!!
