Better said impossible!

I think after the s4, TW is much better than bugs filled aosp ROM even if the devs work hard to get them running, it is never good enough for me. Bluetooth in aosp is a nightmare for example, it reboots the **** out of my phone all the time no matter what.

Fanboys will always speak **** of TW because that's what they do. But one thing is for sure, you take a TW ROM and uninstall the bloat along with a good kernel and bang!! There is nothing more stable and faster than that! Not even stock ROM.

I run echoe ROM v18 with lean kernel 3.11, took away the bloat I didn't want and left some other and i have the most perfect phone there is! I'm a fanatic of technology and I've tried them all. I usually buy a phone as soon as it comes out, play with it for a few weeks and then sell it. Love Sammy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
I see an extremely hardcore TW Fanboy up here. Why don't you talk about yourself too? TW fanboys are fanboys too.

The S4 was horrible for TW but much better on the N3, and it was released the same year the N3 was out. They ran essentially the same iteration of software and when 4.4.2 official hit the markets for N3, the phone's battery life and in some cases performance was decreased.

I run Hyperdrive RLS4 with ColonelX on my N3 and I chose to go for the most minimalistic approach, it feels nice and I like it. I had bluetooth problems when AOSP was first out, but by giving devs more time, they fixed my issue and never had it again. A fanboy is a person that will always go one path and not going the other path. I myself have an AOSP based phone and a Note 3 with TW installed, to prefer one over the other when you only have one Daily Driver that runs TW is just fighting for your own pleasure and decision that you can't change easily. As stated before, I ran TW for months and loved it, X-Note was my DD and we rocked all over the forums helping everyone and diagnosing problems. A couple of friends and I also got early access to X-Note versions and that was what we were back then.

I didn't just install TW for one night and say it's crap, I had my pre-release N3 with TW since the month I got it and used it for half a year, it was fantastic. Most people who won't convert to AOSP because of the bugs and the problems just isn't giving the dev a chance, AOSP development will continue indefinitely and TW's development is gradually slowing down as Samsung stops providing updates for us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
Anyways let's stop doing the Windows vs. Mac esque argument and get back on topic. Didn't mean to sound cold but that 'art is garbage' got to me. Any of you guys know of a TW ROM that works on 240 DPI using texdroider?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
To be honest nothing beats the Samsung Keyboard. No matter how many keyboards i try (swiftkey, lg g3 ...etc) especially that no keyboard has direct access to the clipboard. Now that i tried both AOSP and TW. I can say that AOSP looks nicer the theme engine is awosome on the other hand TW has other useful features that cannot be found on AOSP i.e. NFC (using nfc tags is a must for me), samsung keyboard. These are the two main features. If AOSP can include them at least the NFC then i will not hesitate to go back to AOSP.

But man Samsung keyboard is a must have if youbare into a lot of typing.

Long live N3!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
Hmm, I never really favoured the Samsung keyboard, I only used it for typing Chinese easily as that was the best keyboard to type Chinese over Swype.

But I use SwiftKey because of the theming capability. Looks great on my minimal looking phone UI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
Swiftkey is nice but it doesn't have direct access to the clipboard.

You the new note 4 has the multi select feature right? Well you have that on your note 3. How? You can simply keep copy every part you need from any article and then you can access it from the clipboard. i know there few clipboard apps but the way its placed on the keyboard makes me more productive. Try it

I like you navbar. Which appnare you using to enable it? Is it ultimate navbar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
Sorry that was on my OPO, but it was part of AOSP, I believe temasek has the exact capability too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
If its not too much can you send me the link to the ROM. Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
This what you looking for?

Has any one tried MIUI ROM.. it looks so cool and it has the theme engine feature. But want to check if anyone tried before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vanisleguy1976:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
Cool i will give it a try. Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
I am confused. Which version should i download and should i flash the 9005 ? if its not too much can you me through the steps? Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] force70:
9005 yes it works just fine on our device's.

Flash and set up wasnt any diff than any other rom.it did not wipe my internal storage and I don't think I needed to flash the wifi/Bluetooth fix....but have it on hand anyway.

The rom is diff for sure, some features which are really nice.

You def want to download an app so you can have an app a drawer though lol

I see lots of updates here...anyone want an OPO invite?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
Yes please send me an invite.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Opo, worst customer service ever, waste of money
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
Not sure what you mean... The fact that you need to contact customer service is because you have something wrong with the phone. I don't go calling up the customer service because I want to go chill at the cinema, right?

I dealt out 20 invites already and all 20 are satisfied and no manufacturer error.... But it isn't the bad time to get it anymore, no more hardware issues. Also if customer service doesn't help you have PayPal to back you up.

The phone feels better than the N3 in my opinion, and is under half the price of the N3, so it's not a waste of money... More like an Android power user's alternative to Nexus 5's small screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
Just bought the 64 GB version. Time to sell the N3. Its cool because i used the note 3 for one year and its going to get me the same price of the new one plus one. N3 always made me feel outdated. Good bye Samsung i hope i don't regret lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Yep, just make sure you have PayPal, when a speaker dies or the earphones quit, good luck, many have reported apathetic customer service
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nabobcoffee:
Just canceled my OPO order because it doesn't support HDMI output aka tv out. How can this phone compute with the giants when it lacks the basics. What a shame
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
Aw that sucks. I personally don't use a phone with my TV but I understand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Oogar:
Been away for quite some time. Sorry if I left anyone hanging.

Updated the nfc/wifi fix link, let me know if you need anything else. Although, this may be quite outdated now (let me know).

Moved on to the Note 4 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] patate331:
Just wondering about the patch. Does this patch will work for lollipop Rom? If not, are you going to develop it?

Another thing, TWRP have a bug on it, when you format data partition, the device reboot and go back in recovery mod.

Last question, can I flash recovery for hlte? I mean not hltecan? Cause if I try to flash n9005 Rom, I get an error about incompatible device when I try to install the Rom.

Thanks for your help :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vanisleguy1976:
For WiFi fix, use the version 2 from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2938607

Also, are you using the hltecan TWRP? Use just hlte instead. You should be able to flash any ROM from 9005 and 900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marktang:
If i am on DomPop Lollipop Rom right now, can i use this method to flash it back to 4.4.2? Thanks.

Sorry i was already on the stock 4.4.2 Rogers ROM before i flashed to Lollipop if that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] saffant:
I had the same question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hey_joe:
If you are still on the old bootloader ( I think it's NA2 ) then you can flash back to 4.4.2 but if you're on the newest NB7, you can't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marktang:
But i thought 4.4.2 was using NB7 bootloader cuz i never flash the bootloader other than the OTA updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hey_joe:
The one leaked for Mexico's N900W8 use NA2 and you can go back as far as 4.3 with that one. The official one though ( that includes OTA ) uses NB7 which prevents downgrading of firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marktang:
oh ok thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] molgan:
SM-N900W8 language?

First of all, my apologies if I am posting wrong (I am sure you have heard it many times before...).

In regards to update as described above, regarding the SM-N900W8.

I received this unit as a present but I am located in Sweden, in Europe.

Currently there is no language choice for Swedish in the unit, of course.

So, after completing above update, what can I do to gain access to Swedish as language choice?

Naturally, I cannot use the local swedish cellular company (Tre) for OTA since only Note 3 N9005NEE version is sold in Nothern Europe and Sweden.

Bit of an issue since I cannot update Android and cannot get local language in it.

If I follow above HOW TO will there be more ways to get additional languages for the unit perhaps?

Any advice what best route to take is appreciated for:

1. ability to update to 4.4.2 ->

2. ability for Swedish language

It is currently unlocked it seem, since I can use the SIM card from the cell provider Tre in Sweden (not sure about if "rooted" but perhaps to unlock one must first root?).

thanks in advance!

Hi, im a Mexican user, i have the galaxy note 3, but its difficult to upgrade to Lollipop because of the firmware base, but i have seen a Samsung post where there are the last firmware avaliable, so there are a N900W8 firmware (Canadian), so my question is, Do one of them be useful to flash with a Mexican Galaxy note 3 and flash a custom Lollipop ROM?, thanks in advance.

Lollipop

I have used this method to root my Note 3. Now that Lollipop is available in Canada, does upgrading keep root access and are there any problems doing the update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] force70:
You cant OTA if your running custom recovery regardless (which im guessing you are).

If you odin yes you will lose root but it takes all of 40 sec to re root with cf auto root so no biggie.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Oogar:
Hey bud, good to see ya here :). Hope everything's worked well for you so far.

So, any time I've gone back to 4.3 its just a simple flash via odin 3.09 of stock firmware from my carrier. Once installed, go into recovery and factory reset.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jon3sh:
Just curious you talking about MJ4 stock right? I am ready to try this just wanna make sure I have all needed files just in case. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] roni2915:
HOW TO!!!?

Hello,

As the title states that you could install 4.4.2 on your canadian N900W8 variant of the note 3.

Could anyone list the basic steps as to what needs to be done?

I am currently on 4.3 (MJ4) using my N900W8 with Bell Mobility in Canada.

Thank You :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
Thank you so much, used this to upgrade from official rooted 4.3 Rogers to 4.4 Rogers and i had 0 issues through the flash process. This is great!

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

I think the OP is pretty self explanatory, download all the files, PIT, BL, AP. CP and CSC, the flash via ODIN 3.09. Then flash CF-Root and CWM if you wish

Here are the links to the files:

PIT: http://pc.cd/K7H

BL: http://pc.cd/gXH

AP: http://pc.cd/7kH

CSC: http://www.mediafire.com/download/xn11kh614eag7ir/Canadian+Multi+CSC.tar

CF-Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip?retrieve_file=1

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] roni2915:
Thanks for your instant reply..

So how can I find CP for bell mobility?

I have .tar file for bell mobility for 4.3. I don't have any separate files for CSC and/or CP.

I assume multi CSC would work, all I need is to get the bell CP file right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] turilo:
Ok well im not exactly sure why but when i flash my carrier stock firmware thru Odin and after it completes, it will not boot into recovery to even perform a wipe. I get persistant reboots. im restoring with N900W8VLUBMJ4_N900W8OYABMJ4_N900W8VLUBMJ4_HOME.tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
Use a program like WinRar to see files inside the TAR file from bell firmware, you should see a file called modem.bin, that's the file you have to use so extract it, just zip it back up to a tar and you're good to go
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] roni2915:
Ohh Awesome!!! Thanks a lot..

Going to give this a try tonight... Downloading the required files now :) Will report back soon...

Correct, MJ4 stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Oogar:
Thanks for clarifying for some of the users Pat :).

Now, as I said in the OP (and I could be wrong) I downloaded stock Bell, Telus, and Rogers and compared the MD5 hash from all 3 modems and they were identical. Makes me think they are identical modems? I was under the impression the one I posted in the OP will work for all N900W8. What are your thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
my thoughs are you are exactly correct as only the CSC file seems to change anything thats carrier specific.

BTW, this kitkat thing is just blowing my mind. Cold Boot seems to take 1/3 of the time, and screen unlocking is...INSTANT!!! I love this

EDIT: Tried to root using cf-auto and i'm getting a bootloop!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jon3sh:
Could you please check if custom recovery successfully installed? Thats if you can still get to recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
I'm an idiot, i was so used to rooting with cf-auto that i flashed this using odin 1.82. I now how to odin back to stock and start over again:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] turilo:
You don't have to go back stock just re flash with odin 3.09 the cfauto root that is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
I did...kept saying "booting recovery" and it would just shut down and loop back constantly.

Hmm very weird...I'd actually get that when trying to revert back to 4.3 which I still can't
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polish_pat:
I took this opportunity to test if reverting back to 4.3 really works and it does. I juts finished initial boot and i'm going back to 4.4 right now

Hi, thanks for the excellent tutorial! Ive got KitKat up and running on my Note 3 N900W8 with NO problems! I have a quick question. The biggest thing i was looking forward too when i bought the Note 3 was having the Browser "Air-Jump" feature from the S4 .. to my surprise when i got the Note 3 the Air Jump wasn't supported in the browser (Stock email app ONLY). After i flashed your Note 3 KitKat rom, i noticed in the Air-Jump menu that it now says that it works with Browsers! I hit the Try button and it took me to a mock webpage where it showed the Air-Jump logo in the status bar and worked PERFECTLY! I opened up the stock browser .... and the icon does NOT appear .. and Air Jump does NOT work .... i tired all the browsers installed on my phone and none of them worked. Anyone have any ideas on how i can get this working? As this is a very important and handy feature for me! Thanks guys!
