TweakedN3 2.X UVUBMI7 4.3 SM-N900T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 UPDATED 3/13/14

​

[size=+1]

LOOKING FOR THE MINI-UPDATE THAT CAN BE FLASHED ON TOP OF TWEAKED 2.0?

[/size]

Yes? Ok - then go to

this post

for information and download links :)

No? Ok - then read on... nothing to see here... :)

Hey everyone - resident no-one-in-particular here, and I'm finally posting my little mess of a project. And to think it only took about 3 months lol - clearly I lack a bit in the speed department, but hopefully folks enjoy what I've managed to muster together so far. This is based on the stock UVUBMI7 T-Mobile TouchWiz 4.3 that shipped with the phone... In other words - this is a stock modified T-Mobile rom! As I already mentioned this took quite a while to put together as a number of my tinkerings had to be more or less reworked from scratch (stemming from tinkerings on other devices), but on the upside I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out.

It should be noted that this is still a work in progress, so even though there are a number of things that I still want to include at the time of writing this post I feel enough is done to warrant it actually being posted - that way others (assuming others give it a shot) can let me know if things don't work or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve or if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way or if there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) - I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning, and thats been the driving force behind my tinkering since it began really :)

[size=+2]I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE![/size]

[size=+2]CWM/TWRP Installation instructions[/size]

:

THIS DOES NOT QUITE INSTALL THE SAME AS OTHER ROMS!!

Wut?!? I have to read then!?! NOO!!!!

LOL - well really you don't HAVE to read, only if you want to customize things outside of the default setup. This was an idea that I started using over on the Note2 (though I've changed what I consider "default" a bit), but the end result leaves two install approaches that lead to the same result. One advantage (for those that like customizing a bit at install anyway) is that after an initial step - you will no longer need to go through aroma and reselect options when reinstalling (assuming you don't delete some files in a particular directory of course). This should be a boon to those that enjoy flashing this and that, as the process of reinstalling this will now be much faster. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Unless you use the default approach you will most likely need to edit/redo this process for each update to make sure all new/edited options are up-to-date! This isn't excessively relevant yet, but it will be soon enough I imagine.

A complete explanation of the three approaches and how to utilize them can be found in

this post

, but for the sake of brevity and simplicity I am going to focus on the approach most fitting to the general (or new-to-flashing) user.

Before getting into that though, remember that the usual rules still apply:

- While very much stable in my experience you should be cautious whenever you flash. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues.

- I highly recommend wiping data (or even in extreme cases flashing the UVUBMI7 ODIN file - not so relevant now as we have not been graced with any updates yet, but still it's good to note that you can grab such files via kies or from

here

- search for N900T and grab the most recent one - registration on the site is required, but is also free) before getting started with any of this. This is just a recommendation - not a requirement - and yes, if you flash an ODIN file that means you will have to reflash a custom recovery before moving forward.

- Tweaked needs to be flashed in a custom recovery - I recommend

TWRP

myself, but in theory CWM recovery or any based off of it should work fine. This should of course imply that you will need to already have such things in place if you are interested in giving this a try. For what its worth - I have been using TWRP for quite a long time on the Note3 and have been quite happy with the results.

[size=+1]

THE SUPER SIMPLE SAFE APPROACH

[/size]

Well the super simplest of all approaches would be to just flash the main install zip. For those that tried any of the alpha/beta zips from

here

the result will be very similar to what was experienced with those.

Now, if you want to have a little more say in what gets installed, and you don't care much for the underpinnings of it all, then this is all you really need to know to install Tweaked:

- Download TWO zip files from the downloads post

--- The basic approach prepare install zip

--- The main Note 3 UVUBMI7 Tweaked... zip

- Boot into custom (e.g. TWRP) recovery (if not already there)

- It's STRONGLY recommended to wipe data/factory reset

- FIRST flash the basic approach prepare install zip

--- This is an aroma-style interface where you choose from install options

- THEN without rebooting flash the main Note 3 UVUBMI7 Tweaked... zip

- Nod in approval that while different the process was still easy :)

----------------------------------

Just for the sake of comparison, below is what I would consider the general fits-whatever-install-approach-you-chose installation instructions:

[size=+1]

THE GENERAL APPROACH

[/size]

- Backup your current setup/data

- Decide which install route (basic/advanced/default) is best for you

- Download the main installer and put it on your internal/external sdcard

- If you decided on the advanced or basic install route, download relevant zip for said approach

- If you decided on advanced, set up the file(s) and place them on internal/external sdcard as instructed

- If you decided on basic, place zip on your internal/external sdcard

- Boot into custom (e.g. TWRP) recovery (if not already there)

- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset

- If you decided on basic, flash the basic installer zip

- Finally, select and install the main installer .zip you put on your sdcard

[size=+2]

SCREENSHOTS

[/size]

While the theme is pretty much stock, I figured I would throw in a few screenshots that show a few minor things. If you want to see the screenshots (and they aren't already showing) just click the "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT" (or "SPOILER") button!

[size=+2]Miscellaneous Notes[/size]

:

- [size=+1]REMEMBER -[/size] Regardless of what install approach you use you can always use the Modificatinator to un/re/do virtually [size=+1]ANY[/size] of the options available to you in the main install! No need to reflash the whole rom!

Even if you don't use it right away, make sure to GRAB THE MODIFICATINATOR

HERE

NOW so you have it if you want it later!!

- Even though the full install is not really aroma-based (definitely aroma-inspired though) the modificatinator is, as is the zip relevant to the basic approach and the battery aroma, so make sure to thank

amarullz

for the awesome work!

- Updates that come after the initial release

MAY

also have a flash-update-only option - whether or not it does just depends on the specifics of the update. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Depending on what is updated, an update-only flashable may break things if you are themed! I will try to avoid this as much as possible, but all it takes is a minor edit to a framework-res.apk string (for example) to necessitate an overwriting of a file typically quite important for themers (resources.arsc) - just be mindful of this please :)

- As the Note3 is privy to a number of ROMs and kernels, for the sake of simplicity I have included the unaugmented UVUBMI7 stock kernel as an option (fyi no kernel is flashed by default). Thanks to the kindness of [MENTION=1665225]itsmikeramsay[/MENTION] there is another kernel option -

ColonelX

- one can select from as well.

[size=+1]

PLEASE NOTE:

[/size] Individual phones seem to vary quite a bit in terms of stability/usability when it comes to kernels, so if you are having any issues like unexpected shutdowns or reboots, freezes, etc. - PLEASE switch to the stock kernel first to see if that is the culprit. That is the one that will work (well it should anyway lol) on any and all phones, so if yours happens to be a temperamental one please be mindful of what you pick and aware of the consequences such picks may elicit!

- This is still pretty much an unthemed rom (if any would like to change this PLEASE let me know - a themer I am not!). There are a few changes done in SystemUI (the pulldown in particular) and framework-res (to allow for system-wide transparency options) - and the hope behind those changes (all thanks to [MENTION=3220157]Alexia Whitehurst[/MENTION]) was theme work would then be easier as a result. Even so, this is primarily UVUBMI7 stock-themed - and this is reflective of the thinking behind the whole setup as being stock with some extra options. For those that like flashing various mods and what not, be wary - unless it specifies that it was made to work with Tweaked it likely will not.

Let me know if there are any suggestions/issues/etc. - also, feel free to stop by the IRC channel Alexia Whitehurst was so kind to make for all of this on freenode - #tweaked. If you don't have an IRC client you can always use their webchat interface

. Happy flashing!

work! Below is a list of such themes for ease of reference!

I will update this list as new ones come out, so make sure to check back from time to time! Also - MAKE SURE TO THANK THEM! There aren't many who have done this, so make sure they know the work is appreciated!
