My God.. You are nothing short of amazing. We mere mortals need more people like you in the world. Gosh you are a Godsend. I bow down to you. You're the reason why I look at all of this as a lifestyle, not a hobby. I think I speak for the supporters in this thread when I say that you play a strong part in a lot of our lives. Without your gifts we'd be undoubtedly lost. Roaming from thread to thread, tired from ROMS that just don't give us the juices we need. I guess what I am trying to say here is that I appreciate the hell out of you. You, my friend, are a very very good human being.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Scartaris12:
Wow. You are fast! I've been out of the flashing game for awhile, and came back and it looks like development had pretty much stalled for this device on T-Mobile. It's so refreshing to see that someone has so much passion for this device and is so committed to development.

This is one of the most solid ROM's I've flashed before. Battery life is fantastic and solid as a rock. I will definitely donate for your efforts. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chiefkevbe:
I agree with you. Anyone who takes time out of their busy schedule do do something this nice for others, deserves to not only be acknowledged, but compensated as well. I need to send him a few coins so he can get a bottle f water to quench his thirst after working so hard. The best ROM on my phone by far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Yup, over clocked at 2.9 using ultimate kernel... That being said, you lose NFC with that kernel, so if that's important to you, don't flash.

Amazing rom...im looking for the stock browser is there a reason it was taken out?

I have to echo this. I actually preferred the stock browser. Any way we could get an add-on zip/apk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chispas109:
Just get it from the previous version and put it in the system app folder and fix permissions. That is it.

I am looking for a 5x5 launcher with a 5x6 app drawer and 6 icons in the dock. I had one I used before but it is not working on the rom. Other than that this thing is perfect for me thank you so much for all your hard work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
I didn't remove the SBrowser.. in fact the apk is still the system/app folder, but it doesn't seem functional. I've created a fix using the last release. I don't remember if stock NF4 Odin flash had it working or not. I'll look more into it, but flash this to get it working.

I pushed it into system/private app set permissions and it works now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Thanks Guys

I just wanted to sincerely thank you guys for all the support! It really means a lot to me that people find my work useful. It's been really hard to find the time to keep up with all the updates. Redoing all the mods with fresh files from each release and starting from scratch (had a data loss last month.. lost notes, files.. virtual machines) is tough, but knowing you guys will enjoy it as much as I do is motivational.

I'd like to concentrate on bug tracking and maintenance for now, so please let me know what you find.

The S5 S Planner facebook birthday crash is back (clicking on a fb bday and opening it causes a crash). I'll try to fix it, but I'll post the Note 3 S Planner up later for those that want it.

The new Adreno GPU driver for July was skipped and when the August version comes out, I'll get it out to you guys as soon as I test it.

Rev 7.1

Rev 7.1 Changes:

I released this as a point update rather than a hotfix patch due to users never downloading the hotfixes. Full ROM downloads are in the thousands while hotfixes peak at 300, meaning people run the ROM and never fix known issues.

Very minor release..

Reverted S5 S Planner to Note 3 Samsung Calendar (FB bday crash)

Fixed corrupted SBrowser

You can flash this directly over REV 7 or just download separate fixes for those apps.

I've fought this battle many many times since rv6.

The best solution I found (admittedly, not necessarily the ~correct~ one) was to 'remove account' [Samsung]; then immediately 'add account' [Samsung] from accounts page in settings.

I say 'immediately,' because if you back out to home screen, S-apps will start freaking out! You'll have to reenter all your id and whatnot, and then sit through an update, but It's the only thing I had working for me.

Ps, I've done this 'procedure' for gapps crashing as well.

Make your APN look like this

T-Mobile US LTE

fast.tmobile.com (no hyphen)

MMSC (same)

MCC 310

MNC 260

APN Type default, supl, admin, dun mms

APN Protocol IPv4 (This is the issue)

APN fix

Flash this.. it's the SecTelephonyProvider.apk from NF4. The S5 messaging app comes with its own.. and causes that issue. When you're done changing your APNs, just flash the S5 messaging zip again.

Back in business!!! I did a clean install of stock NF4 then flashed Rev. 7.1 as per the guide and my phone is loving it!!!

Now my question is...

What is a good custom kernal for Rev. 7.1? I've heard great things of Aurora R11 v.2 but that is for NE6...

Can I still use that kernel with Rev. 7.1 or do you guys recommend another one?

I already hace Synapse installed and standing by for the custom kernel.

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Just tell your favorite kernel dev to rebase his/her kernel from the N900T NF4 source and give them ample time. http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=n900t

I don't recommend you to use an older kernel because there are many changes done (including security patches) in those kernels. If you do use a custom kernel, please make sure to flash back to stock and test if you have a random bug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Admiral2145:
I'm using aurora 11v2 with no issues.... It's the best kernel for tmo note 3 imho... I posted my settings profile that you can flash in twrp also.... Even works on NG2 international based roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
I run Ultimate Kernel and it runs great with awesome battery life. Only downside is that you lose NFC, so if you use it, it wouldn't work for you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AviatorBimmer:
Thanks for the reply, Effortless... Unfortunately, the author of Aurora took time off from developing due to personal reasons, so no one knows if he is going to someday update Aurora for NF4. :(

I was using Aurora 11v2 with Effortless ROM Rev. 6 but seeing how Effortless just said that it is highly recommended NOT to use a NE6 kernel with a NF4 ROM due to lots of security patches and other stuff ironed out on the NF4 kernel; I prefer to just use the stock kernel then until a true NF4 custom kernel is available for the Note 3. :(

You have a link to this kernel? Is it a NF4 kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vegasden:
According to another thread, Samsung released the sources for NF4 early this am. So I'd anticipate new kernels rolling out in a few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Scartaris12:
I'm currently running NF4 with the latest Aurora kernel and using Admiral's settings. Everything seems to be running fine, phone sleeps crazy good. Only 1% drain after about 8 hours on standby. I haven't had any issues, but that doesn't mean I should be doing. I think I'm going to re-flash ROM and wipe everything and go back to stock kernel for a bit.

Does anybody use the Colonel kernel?

And also, how do you make Synapse reset all your changes back to nothing. I have tried everything and I can't seem to reset everything back to stock settings without having previously saved a profile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
I just edited my post about the kernel, i was tired and replied with incorrect info. Elemental kernel is for another device of mine, I run Ultimate kernel on my note 3, I will go find the link for it.
