Guide to spruce up EffortLess ROM using Xposed Framework:

A lot of people shy away from Xposed Framework because they're afraid to break something or it may be overwhelming at first, but this guide will make it super simple to get started without worrying about ruining your install (a simple uncheck of a module and reboot will bring you back to stock).

Download links updated 02AUG14

Xposed Framework:

Install from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk

Open Xposed Installer and click on "Framework"

click "Don't show this again" and click "Ok"

click "Install/Update", then "Grant" when prompted for SU, then "Cancel" to avoid a reboot.

SecThemeChooser for Note 3

Download SecThemeChooser.zip from http://d-h.st/qRk

Unzip the file and copy it over to SD card or internal memory on the phone.

Open the folder on the phone and install SecThemeChooser.apk then install XposedSecThemeChooserModule.apk

Also install any themes apks you want within that folder

(Unlocks Theme Chooser option on Note 3 launcher. Click on menu, then set theme and pick the theme you want once enabled)

"OK Google" for 3rd Party Launchers:

Install from http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/com.mohammadag.thirdpartylauncherhotword_v15_aee90e.apk

(Will let you say "OK Google" from home launcher screen on 3rd party launchers, similar to the Google experience launcher)

S5 SystemUI Theme and Tab Pro-style Recent Apps:

Install from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2875245&d=1406642302

(Will bring a fresh skin to TW using the S5 theme)

"Wanam Xposed" and "Xposed Torch: Physical Buttons":

from the Google play store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.xposed

(Will allow you to customize many many setting)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.torch

(Will allow you to hold volume up while phone is off for a flashlight to turn on... power button or home button will turn it off)

ISIS patch for root:

Install from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2846635&d=1405128965

(Will allow you to use ISIS wallet to tap and pay even though you have root)

Lastly, If you have an S-View case,

S-View Mods for Note 3 Unlock:

install from Google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.sviewmodsfornotethreeunlockkey

After everything is installed, open Xposed Installer from the App drawer click on modules and put a check mark to the left of each module to activate it.

Click "back" then "Framework" then "Reboot" and finally Ok to restart.

Now that the Xposed Framework is installed and the modules activated, you can open Xposed again and click on each individual module to change its settings.

Tips For the S5 System UI Theme:

Double tap statusbar will put phone to sleep (can be disabled or changed to another app)

Hold down home button to view the new recent apps layout, if you don't like it, change it by unchecking "Tab Pro recent apps"

The S Finder icon, time/date/, settings button, and quick setting button from the top pull down can all be assigned apps to launch from within the module settings

Tips for Wanam Xposed:

If after installing the module, the signal bars become 4 or you'd like to choose either 4, 5, or 6 bars, Click on "Signal bar count" (Under Notifications Panel) then move the slider over to the appropriate number. (stock Samsung is 4, T-mobile is 5)

Within the module under the "Notifications panel" check off "Enable circle battery" for a circle with the % remaining indicated in the middle

Under sound you can disable boot sound

Under System check "Enable 4 way reboot menu" then check "Screenshot" and "Screen Record" if you'd like those listed as well. Hold Power down to see the menu

Under phone, click "Enable Add call button", then click "Enable call recording menu" now you can record phone conversations (recordings are found under the built-in voice recorder app)

There will be a new auto-brightness detail slider. Left for dimmer, right for more brightness with auto settings. If you don't like it, uncheck "Use auto-brightness detail" under Theme

There are a lot of settings in here, and some will work and others won't. You can try them but keep in mind that you have to reboot in order for them to take effect. (some I have already baked in and enabling/disabling them will not harm anything.. ex. use camera while on phone call)

Update the English Language Files on Stock Samsung Keyboard:

Click Menu, Settings, Controls, Language and input and then click the gear icon next to the faded out Samsung keyboard. Click on "Select input languages", place a check next to English(US) and click Update.

then click Menu, Settings, Controls, Language and input, Text-to-speech options. Make sure a green circle is next to "Google Text-to speech Engine" (if not click it to enable it), then click the gear to the right of it.

Click Install voice data and then English (United States). Lastly, click the downward arrow to the right of "Female (high quality)" and enjoy Google's TTS as it's much better than Samsung's.

The following is old now, but might be useful to some people who want to use one of my older releases

Rev 6 Changes:

Updated to N900TUVUDNF1

Unlimited 4G LTE Tethering is now functional on NF1!! (read known issues below)

Set S5 keyboard as stock (it has more features), if you don't like it- revert to stock NF1 keyboard here.

Over 340 Fonts integrated

Reverted some of the Samsung S5 Apps back to the NF1 versions for now (some had minor bugs that need to be worked out). As I add them, please test them fully. I've included SPlanner (now fixed so facebook birthdays don't crash), Accuweather widget, Magnifier widget, Calculator, and My files to start.

4 Way reboot added

, but "HotBoot" doesn't work correctly.. probably a symlink issue, will look into it as I get time.

Added everything from 5.2 except what I've noted. If I missed anything, let me know. Everything should be similar to the previous experience.

Note:

You need to update your bootloader/baseband and other files to NF1. To do that you can use the full stock odin file (found in my guide through the link at the top of the page) or you can flash individual files from here.

Previous mods are not tested against NF1 (most should work), but I'll be redoing the ones that need it when I get a chance.

Known issues:

Tethering: If you are able to connect to the WiFi hotspot, but the internet is not "working" (you might see a yellow exclamation point in windows), do the following:

Navigate to the APN settings menu on your phone (menu, settings, more networks, mobile networks, access point names)

While still connected to the hotspot, click the circle for the first APN listing (T-Mobile Tethering) once.

Wait about 15 seconds (don't touch anything) and it will switch back to T-Mobile US LTE automagically (the exclamation mark should go away shortly after)

Enjoy unlimited 4G LTE tethering and thank Dvanzutphenkann :victory:

Recommended Hotfix Downloads:

NF1 S5 Weather Widget Fix- Will prevent crash when clicking on the city list button within the widget.

After installing, if the widget crashes, clear the weather app data and it will work.

Optional REV6 Downloads:

Note 3 Keyboard- Flash this if you want the Note 3 Keyboard instead of the S5 one.

S5 Messaging App- Flash this if you want the S5 text messaging app.

Adreno 330 Updated Graphics June Driver- Flash this in TWRP if you want the latest developer preview Adreno 330 GPU drivers released on 24JUN14.

NF1 Stock Kernel- used to revert back to stock NF1 kernel if you flashed an alternate kernel and you wanted the old one back.

Rev 5 Changes:

Fixed External SD Card Storage Write Permission

Enabled Samsung "Find My Mobile"

Set View Type as "Alphabetical Grid" as default for Apps in launcher.

Changed Boot Image to New Samsung

Added More Samsung Audio (ringtones/notifications/alarms)

Added More Samsung Fonts

Updated Sfinder, My Files, Messaging, Calculator, Weather Widget, SNote, Svoice, SPlanner, Scrapbook, Watchon and more

Added Magnifier Widget

Cleaned up some CSC files (TMO is messy)

Removed (download from store if needed): Chaton, Lookout, Evernote, S Translator (download stub.. google translate is lightyears better), TripAdvisor (download Stub)

Rearranged some apps in folders

Rev 5.1 Changes:

Added Mobile Data, Smart Network, and Network Restriction quick toggles (NOTE: a full wipe is required for these to take effect)

Removed check for update from "About Device"

Added hardware version display in "About Device"

Added folder view in messaging

Known Issues:

S5 Messaging app crashes/FC when you click safe mode within settings

Scrapbook crashes/FC go to post 292 for fix

Rev 5.2 Changes:

Fixed Scrapbook crash/FC

S5 Lockscreen Wallpaper (change it to whatever you want)

Updated Video Player to S5

Updated SuperSU to 1.99R3

Updated boot animation to display only new Samsung (No more white T-mobile 4G)

International/Inverted- dark dialer, contacts, mms and multiwindow tray (credit and thanks to foreverloco)

Bluetooth and Unrestricted Tethering enabled

- just enable hotspot and you're ready to share (Devs, please ask before you "borrow" this for your NE6 ROM, it was painful implementing this the correct way and no one was willing to help)

Known Issues:

If you opt to use the S5 messaging app, clicking on "safe mode" within the settings will cause a crash/FC. For that reason, it's an optional install.

It should be Ok to dirty flash (only for 5.2 over 5.1- wipe cache and dalvik),

but if you do

, you must also go to menu, settings, more networks, mobile networks, access point names, click menu, and then click "Reset to default". The first entry should read T-Mobile Tethering and under it should now say fast.t-mobile.com. If the APNs don't refresh, check to make sure Mobile data (under menu, settings, more networks, mobile networks) is checked/enabled.

Hot Fix Downloads for REV 5.2

:

N3 Video Player- Flash to revert back to NE6 N3 Video player due to some bugs in S5 version

(credit to Garry Harrington)

To remove 3Minit Quicklaunch Panel, flash this.

Note

:

DO NOT USE MODS OR KERNELS FROM OLD VERSIONS. THEY MUST BE MADE USING NE6 FILES/SOURCE!! I can't stress this enough as 80% of issues we've covered in this thread are due to using old files. They WILL cause issues!

Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Knox/Carrier IQ Free :victory:

Unique features enabled:

The built-in Samsung "Find my mobile" (found under settings, general, security)

Can help in locating your lost phone, locking it, ringing your mobile, viewing call logs, wiping your mobile and unlocking your screen (all done remotely by visting http://findmymobile.samsung.com/login.do)

Camera's "auto night detection" (keep smart stabilization enabled and your phone will decide when it'll use it automatically, look for the icon when taking shots in a darker environment).

SIP Internet calling

Many disabled features re-enabled in the menus.. keep an eye out ;)

Also updated are:

MMS, the Accuweather widget, WatchOn, and SNote (all with S5 counterparts)

US dialer (with voicemail button instead of the non-functioning video call button)

Proper T-mobile SM-N900T identification (so device specific apps continue working)

Native TMO 4G LTE indicators (Not by means of a "hack")

Samsung S5 Fonts (as seen in the Accuweather widget)

ExtSdCard Fix

In-call Recording static fix

True Google search bar widget

Rev 2 Changes:

Updated dialer/contacts (still working on getting a dark themed one, but running the phone as a true N900T with latest ND6 is proving to be a challenge)

Home now uses true Google search bar widget by default

S5 Accuweather widget properly loads on home by default

More features in menus enabled

Speed tweaks and even more battery optimization

FIXED:

Call recording static (use xposed installer to enable call recording in dialer menu)

REMOVED:

*NOTES:

For weather widget, click on it and go to setting to change it from C to F.

I was able to bypass the data region lock, so no more data issues, update your APN to fast.-t-mobile.com (LTE users)...

Go to Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, click "T-Mobile US" and edit the settings.

If you're in a LTE area and it auto loaded "epc.tmobile.com", change it by clicking on it to "fast.t-mobile.com" then click menu then save.

Below is all you have to type.. and it's a one time deal IF it doesn't automatically do it for you:

APN: fast.t-mobile.com (for LTE area) epc.tmobile.com (for non LTE area) (yes, the LTE t-mobile has a - and the epc one does not)

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MNC: 260

APN type: default,supl,mms
