At the time the leaked firmware came with separate bootloader, modem and csc. I followed the instructions loaded them all in Odin in the relevant inputs and flashed together, though had to do it a second time for it to take properly! You won't be disappointed, this rom is getting better and better, definitely a daily! You could try it before flashing the 5.0 stock to get a taste?

Tapatalked that shiznit.

Just came from CarbonROM 4.4.4 with Temasek kernel. Flashed today latest v8.5.

Everything seems OK, now my SGN3 works even faster than before! And I like how it looks!

The only one thing that is not working I found for the moment: I can't switch between mobile network types (LTE, 3G, 2G). It stays always with LTE. But it's possible to switch off LTE through Quick Settings panel, then it switches to 3G.

Go on play store and get "Disable Services" (it's free). Then launch it, grant root if it's the first time, and go to the system services tab. Find and tap Google play services, and then find "SystemUpdateService" - it will be red and unticked. Tap it to *tick* it, and you are done - your device will now sleep. Unfortunately it seems to reset every reboot, so I've had to set myself a reminder to do that after every boot (using llama from play store).

I'm not sure why *enabling* the service clears the wakelock, but that's what works!

Interested to hear if anyone knows why?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dbolivar:
If you flash the full tar.md5 from SamMobile (in AP section of Odin), you don't need to flash anything else. The only remark is to boot in Download Mode from a full power-off, i.e., don't use a utility to reboot to Download Mode: fully power off your phone, wait a few seconds, then boot in Download Mode (Power + Home + VolDown). There are several reports of the modem not "sticking" when users reboot from system to Download Mode instead of from power-off. Also, when flashing the tar.md5 with Odin, tick the "Update Bootloader" flag. You may also need a PIT file for the Lollipop firmwares. I usually first flash the PIT of the correct version (KK or LL), reboot again to Download Mode, then flash the tar.md5 ticking the "Update Bootloader" flag. Works 100% every time.

BTW, I've tested Temasek some days ago after flashing the latest BOB6 firmware, worked perfectly after a full wipe. You can always use the Phone Info (Samsung) app on Play Store to check the modem, bootloader and CSC versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
Got it!

About getting a taste, of course I could! :p The "problem" is that feeling around me telling to update my device to the latest firmware possible after so much time of 4.3 firmware! hahaha

And, by the way, maybe having everything absolutely updated would be something to not bother me in the future in case of any kind of issues. I would not need to think about if old 4.3 firmware would be the cause of bad behaviours....

And I must admit a little bit of curiosity about new TouchWiz layout, although I simply can't live without pure Android usability and design (mainly).

Thanks so much for all these tips! I never heard about this PIT thing. I will search about this to know if I will need to flash lollipop PIT or not.

Anyway, flashing it even not needing it won't be harmful, right?

1) i can't join at any wifi network, keep in " establishing connection" and in the Ip looks like 0.0.0.0 (i try in other devices and i can connect w/out problems

2) I have the message "no network/ without service" in mobile operator network but i can use the internet and in more information about the phone said: network: 334090

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
After a lot of search, I only found info regarding the recommendation of backing up PIT to be safe in case of problems, but nothing about flashing corresponding KK or LP PIT file alongside ROM itself.

Could you please explain the reason of this precaution? By the way, isn't this PIT thing something to be backed up in instead of flashed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
The only reason I have had or heard for flashing a PIT is because some phones have different build - e.g. I had an S3 with HK firmware - I had to flash a PIT from BTU to be able to install EU firmware. From a recent Q&A I think the Chinese N3's have a similar issue.

In general I thought it was best to avoid flashing PIT's unless in emergency.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
What I found a lot was the recommendation of backing up PIT through adb before flashing that leaked first lollipop stock ROM that was divided into a lot of files to be flashed using Odin.

Anyway, I will probably forget this stock lollipop thing and just let my device automatically update to the Brazilian 4.4.2 stock ROM, root and finally enjoy Temasek CM12! Of course, turning off the device before using Odin if necessary.

After CM12 install I will let everybody now if I got any issue related to modem, for example, like video recording.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dbolivar:
The PIT file specifies the layout (start position and size) of the partitions (/data, /system etc.). When the first LL leak came out (L8), there was a PIT file together, and the recommendation to flash it before the firmware, because the amount of data in some partitions of the new firmware was too much for the previous KK partition sizes (some users reported a failed Odin flash because of this).

If it happened because of different models (Hong Kong, Internation etc.), as mentioned, I don't know. What I know is that when I go back to KK, I first flash the KK PIT file, and when I go to LL, I flash the LL PIT file. Both for my Note 3 model, of course (32 GB HLTE; yours should be the same as mine, if bought here in Brazil from an official retailer). The recent firmwares, like OA5 and OB6, don't come with a PIT file anymore, so perhaps it's not needed anymore. It shouldn't harm if you try to flash the firmware without the PIT file: the worst that can happen, as far as I know, is a failed Odin flash. In this case just flash the PIT file and repeat the procedure.

I'm attaching both PIT files (KK and LL) that I use, in case you need them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] viniciusrsouza:
Oh, ok! Understood perfectly now! And yes, we have the same device. Bought here in Brazil also!

Thanks for the attached files!

Flashed 8.5 , lost cell service, again. Flashed back to TW. Issue persisted, ran hands free activation. That solved the issue. But. Reflashed 8.5 back to no cell service. Did this back and fourth for an hour or more. Finally restored 6.4 (best battery life, which is why I keep this back up) then flashed 8.5 dirty over top. This worked. Also added amplify xposed module. To kill wakelocks , adding with Arter 4.0.2 kernel. This is the result.

Hltespr.

Thanks for sharing the info about "Phone Info (Samsung)", it was a neat app to easely read what bootloader\ csc\ and baseband you have on your device.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Since the only info about new firmware on Sammobiles download page is the CSC.

I would like to share this info, If some of some of you guys wondered what "codes" to look for when double checking that the bootloader\csc\baseband is matching the .tar you just flashed.

Here is how to read the info from the downloaded .tar:

N9005XXUGNI4_N9005NEEGNK2_N9005XXUGNI3_HOME.tar

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] janahi911:
OK ... I kindly need some serious answers:

1. I can't find developers options in settings

2. Root is not enabled

3. Downloaded Xposed from the official website v2.7.1 and I get 58 on the to 54 on the bottom.

Help pls :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Iozeg:
Seriously? Have you ever turned on developer's setings before? It's 7 taps away on the build version in the "about device" option in settings.

Root is under the developers options tab, you will find it as soon as you turn them on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Goddly:
Apologies for the "direct" response above. [emoji6] lol but I always enable "developer options" as soon as I can. That way I can set "back to kill"

go to the xposed thread, he has just updated recently. Get the alpha 2 installer (apk) install it. Grab the .zip then flash it in recovery. Go back into installer. Check your stuff. Is also recommended to "soft reboot" at this point. (Be sure is granted root permissions!) Now you should see

Posted above. Arter 4.0.2 kernel, amplify xposed to kill wakelocks alarms, etc. As the built in blocker was removed. Screen on time was playing boom beach, (kills battery) watching videos, downloaded 1gb of files, etc . my new go to backup. ;) in fact in still on 1%.. Lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dschr:
A lot of xtras to get back battery life of the 6.x versions of this ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Goddly:
Really not to bad. The issue was cell service error on CM. Otherwise, i wouldn't have tinkered too much... So I basically had to restore 6.4 , as this was by far my most stable. But flashed 8.5 over. Then Arter. Default, (intelliplug as hotplug) Amplify is a huge help. I had many wakelocks. Running buttery ATM.. But going 37 hours, with 7+ hrs on screen time is worth it. I forgot to plug it in last night, still had 50% this morning. Amazed I was *best Yoda voice ever* [emoji12]
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nitrous²:
Earlier versions of this ROM have had an option to edit the "reported DPI" next to actual DPI. Is there a way to edit the reported DPI? Some apps in the Play Store started to show as incompatible, like Need for Speed Most Wanted when I set the screen DPI to 384. Wouldn't do that yesterday o.O
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I liked the reported DPI setting a lot too. Three solution for now is to use a modded playstore. I've used the one from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839871 with good results. Most recent version is on the second to last page. Now for me at least it didn't work right away but a wipe of playstore data and a reboot usually brought the brought the incompatable apps back. And if your still not seeing them than a wipe of dalvik and cache in recovery should do the trick. Good luck
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ajm786:
Oh man, that is some KILLER battery life. Thanks for this, I might have to switch over to try it out.

Also, I'm VERY surprised that you got this kind of battery life on the stock theme (white), which kills battery life.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DeltaHF:

found the soultion, didn't used search properly. sorry to all :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Goddly:
Wakelocks differ by phone. Just let amplify run for a while. Then check to see which are red, services , alarm, wakelocks... Just make sure you don't turn of something that's supposed to run... Lol like audio out. That controls sounds when screen is off. Asking others amplify will give a description of the wakelock, alarm or service above. But some it won't know. Try to Google it. Just to make sure again, that your not killing something important..

Amplify requires a donation to be fully functional, 2$ but it was worth it for me. [emoji6]

I was referring to YouTube. MX is great is what I use. but it will beat your battery up....

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Shrink:
Quick newbie question: if I do a clean install of Temasek's without installing one of the gapps packages, is there anything preventing me from just installing the gapps individually from the play store? Will there be any negative repercussions? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rigbyrj:
If you don't install gApps then you won't have the play store.

But your idea isn't a bad one - if you get the pico gApps bundle then all you get is play store and play services - you can then do your idea: Go to play store, then pick & choose which Google apps you actually want :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Tiggam:
If I am correct, you just wouldn't be presented with the Google accounts setup after first boot. Not sure if you can add the account later in settings.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kushXmaster:
At the very least you need to install the gapps package that has play services and the play store.

You may run into issues if you don't install play services before booting.

With 5.0 I've only ever been able to install the most minimal gapps package, every other one fails to install. Not really an issues since it downloads everything on first boot anyway.

check in your battery stats and see if your device is ever sleeping.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] janahi911:
I'm on the same settings you've mentioned .. but only manage to get 36 minutes for each 15% ... i.e. a total of 4hr in a 100% charge. I didn't download, didn't watch movie, or any heavy task and getting this battery consumption :confused: !

It's the same consumption I had with ported note 4 rom by g001. I though that by using your mix I'll be able to double my 4hr screen on status.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rigbyrj:
That's correct - If you don't install gApps before first boot, then you don't get the google account set-up during the initial device set-up routine. And the ROM works fine without any gApps installed - You just don't get Play Store & other Google services. (I think someone else asked that).

If you then go back into recovery and install gApps afterwards, then you can just go into settings and add the account from there, or you will be prompted to add your account the first time you launch the play store.

I've had to do this before when I've forgotten to flash gApps before rebooting :)

You have faux clock set to intelliplug? Check to make sure it's idling back down to one core at 300mhz. Also check your wakelocks in amplify. Or which ever wakelock blocker you have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] barabangel:
How to check wakelocks in amplify...?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Goddly:
First and foremost, you've got to make sure your device is throttling correctly. Faux clock will allow you to keep track of what the CPU is doing. I've set nothing in CPU for clock speed no screen off speed. (Which on my device if I set it to 300 caused proximity, and screen not turning on when calls come in)

Amplify is an app. You must have xposed installed and working properly. It also requires a donation to be fully functional.

I also flashed 8.5 over my best battery friendly backup. (Which I'm sure is not the reason, but you never know) I watched Expedition Unknown with mx player, holy battery killer, woah.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ajm786:
I just wanted to post that I finally installed the following:

1. arter's kernel (for N900T)

2. latest temasek v8.5

3. xposed amplify

I've bolded the kernel because it is key. I cannot believe how good that kernel is; when I use the phrase "game changer", it really is that.

While I personally believe the arteractive governor can be a bit smoother (it jerks a bit sometimes when scrolling and what not), the battery life is unbelievable; I have never seen flatlines before like temasek has, but I see it with arter's kernel.

Also, a huge factor for me is audio quality. With the combo of arter's kernel and temasek's ROM is insane: I have it combined with Neutron Music Player and V4A (and yes, V4A works perfectly). It works flawlessly, and there are zero hitches, stutters, and everything just WORKS. I can't believe it myself. It's like being in music heaven/nirvana, which is almost impossible to achieve with Android because there are always stutters and lags; not with this combo. In addition, arter's kernel solved the stuttery, hitching notification sounds I was having with temasek default kernel.

I highly recommend the combo of arter's kernel + temasek's ROM. There just isn't anything better than that for the Note 3 at the current time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wraithmajere:
Thank you,

I am going to try this today on my SM-N900T - Going to try your config, and apps (New to Arter97 Kernel and Amplify) -

Coming from: Temasek 7.6 Default Kernel --> 8.5 w/ Arter97 Kernel

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asusgarb:
Let me share my configuration:

- Clean install 8.5

- Stock kernel

- L_Speed REBORN 1.6 MOD.

I tried arter's kernel, but I have to say I prefer stock one with this mod.

Yo be honest, I had a little more battery with arter, but I think my note is (or feels to me) smoother with stock kernel. And, considering the battery difference is 30 min max, I prefer stock.

Unfortunately I'm not able to flash xposed, even with alpha 2. I tried many times. By the way, it's not a big problem, because my favorite module (greenify) don't work with lollipop yet.
