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

:

While this rom does offer some customizable options at install - THE CUSTOMIZATION PROCESS IS NOT QUITE THE SAME AS OTHER ROMS!!

What does this mean? Well, if you want to tailor your installation using some of the available options, you'll have to read up on how to do so.

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

LOL - well like I said you really don't HAVE to read about this, it's only if you want to customize things outside of the default setup. If you don't want to customize anything, then simply flash the main TweakedN3 zip and be on your way. NOTE:Info on default and custom install options can be found during aroma interactions or in the installation instructions zip!

So you want to customize the install? Sounds good - and read on.

This was an idea that I started using over on the Note2, but the end result leaves two custom 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 complete with customized options 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 advanced approach can be found in

this post

, but the focus here is 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 UVUDNF9 ODIN file - this has been shown anecdotally to not be necessary, 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. There are reports that CWM itself does not work with this, but recoveries based off it like PhilZs seem fine. Just note that the only one I've tested this on is TWRP - so tread cautiously if treading elsewhere :) 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.

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