2.....FAQ for actual Rom v5.5 and v5+ and 5.2 (KitKat):

3.....Themes and Mods

4.....General questions:

5.....for v3.2 (Jelly Bean):

Please check your bootloader version!!!!!

If you didn't update the bootloader since Android 4.1.2 flash MJ5 bootloader or newer --> ND3 is latest available bootloader - find download link below.

If you alreadey updated it or flashed any 4.3/4.4 rom via OTA or flashed a realy stock 4.3/4.4 rom from sammobile or so (with MK9, ML4 or above bootloader) you are fine

With bootloader versions below MJ5 you maybe will run into issues like reboots, fc's (fc...force close) and maybe wifi wont work.

To check wich bootloader you are currently using, use an info app like android system info and look for build infos.

MJ5 BL: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b...00XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

For flashing BL its recommended to use odin on a PC!!! Flashing BL with CWM may brick your device!!! Please refere to this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52278651&postcount=24217 and thx to [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

v5.2 is using Aroma installer. So read every step carefully and make your choice! If you didn't like your chosen options, just reflash rom and make another selection!

v5.5 and DN4 are a standalone flashable zip's (no aroma)

1. Recovery: look for latest TWRP find link below and download for example: "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-t03g.zip" for flashing from recovery or img.tar for odin for N7100 international --> install it

2. put rom to your external SD (all downloadlinks on OP or below in this FAQ)

3. be sure that MD5 checksums are correct

4. boot into TWRP (use latest version and find it below) and do a full backup

5. go to wipe and click on "format Data" (be sure you have a backup as all data will be ereased) and confirm with yes

6. Click on Advanced Wipe and select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and swipe to wipe

7. go to main menu, select install and install rom from external SD

8. reboot to system and after it booted up wait for a few minutes

9. reboot to recovery and flash bug fixes if available --> see sections below for further information's

10. wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot to system

11. configure your DN3 rom

Now you are fine to use rom

On Philz touch you have to do a little bit differnt:

1: Flash PhilZ recovery v6.26. or higher - find link below

2. put rom and fixes if available to your external SD (all downloadlinks on OP or below in this FAQ)

3. be sure that MD5 checksums are correct

4: Reboot to Philz recovery and do a full backup

5:

Format Internal SDCard (in mounts and storage) and do Factory reset (I will install a new ROM option in PhilZ)

7: install rom

do steps 8-11 from above

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50833824&postcount=13731

Here are links to latest Philz and TWRP recovery: OP recommends TWRP

Downloads:

TWRP (2.6.3.2 and higher (2.7.0.2 and higher is recommended)):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938733

--> direct download: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t03g

Philz (6.26. and higher is recommended):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

--> --> direct download: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100

Only by using philz 6.19 don't forget on flashing rom (go to install zip) touch 'Do not allow old update_binaries (X)'. It will turn from (X) to (). - - > versions below 6.19 won't work for DN3 v4 RC

Heere is a link to a collection of ND3 Bootloader + Modem and ND1 Modem. ND3 Bootloader will solve charging issue on Kitkat (phone will start when its off and power cord is plugged in) and modems are for those who have wifi issues or bad signals. Try out which modem is the best for you.

Installing ND3 bootloader (KitKat) is irreversible and will trigger knox warrenty bit! Be sure you will understand this!!!!!

Please note this is only for Kitkat versions of DN3 rom!!!! (v4 and up (v4,v5,..) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52573647&postcount=26400

1.....FAQ for actual rom DN4 v1.0:

Full wipe (format internal SD) is mandatory!!! This rom is based on (ported from) a S3 4.4.4 leak - so format internal storage is a must if you would like to use this rom!!!!!

2.....FAQ for v5+, v5.2, v5.5:

v 5.5: Please note: v5.5 is based on NB4 for stability reasons. See release notes on DN3 site: http://electron-team.com/ROM/v55/

For v5.5:

Full wipe (format internal SD) is mandatory!!!

For v5+, v5.2:

Full wipe is recommended:

-if you run into issues after "dirty" flash! So if you are facing issues like fc's, lags, missing options, wrong notifications its highly recommended to format (not only wiping) whole data partition!

-if you are comming from another rom or a DN3 version other than v5!

Check md5 after download!!!! See DN3 site (links above)!!!

Will fix action memo, lockscreen shortcut, email FC and multi language calendar

Workaround and fixes: (problems that might occur....maybe after "dirty" flash or restoring data from nandroid or titanium)

Please note, after clean install of rom (that means

format

data and data/media before flashing rom) you shouldn't have any issues except the known issues (find below). If you are running into issues after restoring data or installing mods you can try this workarounds otherwise you have to do a clean install and have to look wich mod causes the issue:

Hints for Battery saving and how to solve Battery draining are below in this post in general section!

Known issues:

1) Effects of Galaxy S5 music player still don´t work

2) Wifi Direct doesn't work properly. The first time you try it works without problem, but after that every time you want to use it you have to turn it off, re-enable and use it again fixed in V5.2

3) Some pop-ups like the one related to low battery don't have the divider line between OK and Cancel fi you flashed the rom selection S5 UI

Lockscreen shortcuts for v5.5: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55291389&postcount=35416

Private mode not working:

Private mode is linked to knox and knox is not working in costum roms.

So private mode will not work.

3. Themes and Mods

For all mods, please be sure that mod is compatible to actual rom version!!!!! Be careful and wait for updated mods!!!

4. General questions:

A: Remove battery for a min or so, enter recovery and flash rom again. This happens from time to time.

See also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49137642&postcount=11230

--> Read install instructions carefully! --> maybe read them again... --> installed the correct recovery version? check version again!

--> check md5

A: In general please read carefully the first post (OP). Did you do all suggested steps there? Please try to search in xda or using google. In google for example: “your problem” forum xda

When asking for help in thread, please provide the following:

1.install steps

2.rom version

3.installed mods

4.the problem you are having with the rom including the steps bevor the problem occurs

5.attach logcat

A Logcat file records system messages. This helps devs to look for the error.
