Temasek's CM-based rom has S-pen

support

, as is with several other CM-based roms. I'm currently using it. There aren't the special features like the O ring which you can select actions from in TW.

I've browsed through the Android Development subforum and there are tons of custom roms there, some not as popular as others. (I noticed the popular ones tend to be the ones which have heavy customisation, to the point that it sometimes feels as bloated, if not more bloated than, the stock rom... - I've tried CRASH rom and that was how it felt :/)

Is there a custom TW-based rom which is bare-bones, but doesn't skimp on accessories support like the S-Pen? I'm fine without S-Note too.

Also, I forgot to check since NH1 was released so recently for SG users (2 Sep '14). Has anyone tried it and rooted fine?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] brysonwong:
I rooted NH1 using _alexdr thread. I was thinking of using the MIUI by wonitor for the Spen features etc. Shall try both.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rainyguy:
I have finally tried it (XSP) and it works :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xueyao:
All aosp rom now supports S pen input. Only difference is without touchwiz software. Excellent alternative includes papyrus and sketchnote designed for galaxy note which can be downloaded and installed. The aosp roms can detect the wacom pressure sensitive layer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] brysonwong:
Thanks for the info. Helps a newbie like me. :good:

I'm currently using MIUI V5 by wonitor but there are a few bugs which I can't really live with. Is there any ROM which is stock debloated TW NH1 ROM?

[MENTION=556260]antt00[/MENTION] are you gonna flash it using Odin on the CP field?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:
Yeah but not directly. Just made a tar.md5 of it and flashed successfully through odin. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Whosat:
Care to share that ? Planning to flash via mobile Odin as I have no access to a PC for a while
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:

I am not sure if you can flash successfully through mobile odin. You can try but most probably it wont work.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] orbital_71:
Is nh1 can be use across all 3 telco in singapore? And this can be flash through odin right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Whosat:
Just tested and yes working. The one he attached is from an XSP rom which I believe can work with all 3 telcos in Singapore. (Singapore sets are carrier unlocked anyway). I'm using it on Singtel, fully working up to LTE.

Flash in Odin TWICE otherwise it won't register.

Boot into Download mode

Open ODIN

Uncheck auto reboot

Flash the file in CP field

Once "Success" or "Pass"!, press and hold on power button on phone until screen turns off, then immediately hold power down and home to get into Download again.

Check ODIN if it can detect your phone after the second boot into Download mode. If cannot, reopen ODIN.

Check Auto reboot

Flash the file in CP field (for the second time).

Let it reboot and succeed.

EDIT: And yep, Mobile ODIN completely borked my device. Kept showing "Recovery Booting..." and then the screen would go off but everything else will be working. (Can access MTP and my router reports that a DHCP lease was given to my phone). I had to re-flash TWRP and my rom (with kernel - the kernel was reverted to stock) using ODIN on my friend's computer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:
You don't actually have to boot twice. To flash modem successfully you need to fully power down the phone and boot up into download mode using 3 key combo. Rebooting directly into download will result in unsuccessful flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Whosat:
Oh right. I'll try that on the next modem update! I couldn't do this method with my S4 Mini. Cold booting into Download Mode then flashing didn't work. Had to flash twice.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] orbital_71:
I thought taz file can be flash in ap field? Correct me if i am wrong. Tks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Whosat:
I flashed using CP for the note 3 because I read a guide specific to HLTE devices to do so. But later tried with the AP field for my S4 Mini and it worked too so I'm assuming AP is fine too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:
Yes it is fine. I always use AP as CP is greyed out in odin 3.09. Didn't bother to activate it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] axilleas333:

Wah..

Disappointed with Spigen Neo Hybrid sia..

The "bumper" is loose, volume rockers n power buttons r loose also. In the end still stick to "naked" N3.

Deciding on UAG or wait for Slim Armor from Spigen. Hope it will be better.

Anyone using Neo Hybrid now?

hi,

my sg note 3 was on nh1 version and i tried to flash a ne4 (downloaded from sammobile) version via PC odin 3.09. PC odin showed success in downgrading however, my phone seems to be stuck at the samsung logo screen. May I know how can i resolve this.

i was planning to downgrade to ne4. root my phone using towelroot and then upgrade by ro nh1

Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2840150 .

No, you can't jump kernels if you aren't on the firmware itself, especially between Jelly Bean and KitKat :) (ps I understand why you don't want to update to kitkat... It was a huge mistake for me ;) ) No NH1 can't be rooted via towelroot sorry :)

Basically now i just wanna root my phone (actually i am alrdy having satisfactory batt life)

Shld i root my MI7 ROM or get a root with 4.4.2?

Also, any recommendation on which version of 4.4.2 is more optimised for data connection, battery and photo quality
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
You don't actually have to update to 4.4.2 to towel root, your kernel is before jun 3 so you can just run the app on MI7 :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sianzb0i:
ok, so i clicked on the make it rain. and then i downloaded superSU. it keeps asking me to update. and it requires me to disable knox (clicking on cancel exits the app). and now its almost 5 mins and it is still disabling knox

Help in installing custom rom

HI people of xda,

I need help in a few things. After reading the posts above, i decided to root my phone. So could yall help in the following.

1. I want to root my phone using odin and install CWM but not sure how. My baseband version is DXUGNH1. I have seen people posting downgrading to NE4 den root den upgrade to NH1. But is that possible as i want to receive all benefits of NH1.

2. I want to backup every single thing on my phone including all apps. So what do yall suggest?

3. I already have a rom in mind means once i root and install, followed by restore backup, it shld be perfect right?

Hope all the experts here can give me some help and feedbacks. THANKS IN ADVANCE :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sean_FD2R:
1. Install Chenglu's CWM via odin you are good to go (use the search function, there are tutorials on how to root/install CWM)

2. Titanium Backup

3. Nandroid backup (always) then install ROM of your choice then restore via Titanium.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. however do you have any idea regarding the downgrade to NE4 then upgrade to NH1 when rooted to retain the features part?

Installing CWM won't affect your baseband. If you are on NH1 then it stays NH1.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] xueyao:
It's a enterprise level security stuff that unless u r using a company phone or planning to use it as company phone, it's useless. N9005 cannot be reset while N900 has a way to reset. Its only other useful function is voiding warranties, which I don't think shops even check for them when u ask them for warranties. For me, I would just fry the mb by overclocking and adding voltage if I wanna claim warranty for any part of the phone so they can't check for it. :P

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sianzb0i:
I think i know what is causing the after-root battery drain.

after rooting, i experienced the battery drain.

i unrooted and things got better but came back often randomly.

Then i slowly removed superSU and things were the same.

One day it was so bad that i looked into this again and realised the only app left was titanium backup.

I removed it and went to clear cache etc and rebooted and never had the drain again.

This happened about 2 or more months back and for the past one month my battery life is back to normal everyday.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] my969:
When my phone was New I would get 2 days normal usage. Lately it was down to one day. Now with a new battery its back to two days.

I haven't bothered about the hours because everyone's usage and setup is different ie. I've frozen many apps I don't use with titanium backup. I don't leave all the wireless connections on when not needed.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] W@r10ck:
Yes, im using titanium backup and have disabled things that i dont usually use specially some samsung stuffs and s-voice and then I also use greenify. I aslo Switched off animation under developers option. But I think ROM + Kernels are the 2 major factors that affects battery life :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Here I'm waiting for Shinto kernel to be updated and x note rom for lollipop for their battery life ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] W@r10ck:
Thats good ive been waiting for a Kernel for Lollipop. Il definitely try it out when its out :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] donetus:
you can use Helium (available in Google Play). Your phone need not be rooted to run this.

The downside though, unlike Titanium Backup (w/c requires root), it can't backup some of the apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
thanks! my phone is rooted so I have Titanium Backup. I remember I should only back up certain data right?

hmm. I can just download the latest XSP firmware and flash using Mobile Odin right? no need to re-root or anything?

I'm thinking about how to backup my SMS, WhatsApp and photos too (the last time I flashed to KitKat, my WhatsApp photos got corrupted... like a certain image replaced others...)

It all depends on your usage...Battery consumption on 3/4g is higher compared to on WiFi...As for battery drainage is usually caused by apps poorly built not letting your phone going to sleep when it is suppose to..for me being on lollipop is not for the battery but the ui which is much different from previous versions of Android..I use Greenify to handle my background running apps...so far battery wise it is good enough as now I charge only once a day...
