[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadeftw:
Hi guys

I need some help. First of all, I have some experience flashing stuff. I had a galaxy s2 that I moded before.

Got my note 3, 4 days ago. And I'm already hating the sammy rom. My gps sucks, and tw is lagging a lot. So I was thinking about flashing something better into this badboy. I'm not asking for wich is the better rom. Actually, I feel like a newcomer that cant tell wich kernel or recovery should I flash. I've search a lot trying to understand what to do. On my old S2 I only had to flash philz kernel and from there I just had to flash root and after that I could do w/e I wanted.

So I want to know 3 things:

if there is a similar system since I hate flashing trough odin.

Need someone to point my in the right direction on a kernel (loved dorimax on S2, or apollo)

And what should I do to flash TPRW

I know that maybe I didnt looked hard enough on the forum, but, the information is scattered, I'm going in circles on what to do. I dont care about knox btw, the cellphone is out of warranty.

Thanks for reading

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
If you want to flash the custom ROM then you can flash it from any custom recovery, like you said Philz is one, but people generally prefer TWRP for our phones. And as custom ROMs generally come as a zip package you don't really have any option but flashing it from a custom recovery anyway. Odin is good as long as files are in tar format.

I loved the S2, my favourite was the Siyah kernel :) Anyway, I am using Audax kernel on my phone now, which is good, but you can also look at Arter kernel, its damn stable, and he is a great dev. There is another kernel called Lean, about which I am not really interested. And for ROMs I never move from anything non-TouchWiz based, cause those are the most stable ROMs out there, with least number of bugs and retaining the feature set of a Note phone, little laggy yes, but I can live with that rather than living with a plethora of bugs and other nuisances.

You have got a great phone, enjoy it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadeftw:
Thanks for helping me.

S2 was a really fun phone, loved it until it died. Siyah was really awsome too :P

I need your help if possible. I'm feeling kind of bad since I dont want to be boring :P

Could you sugest me:

- A nice 1st time Lolipop ROM so I can get used to flash them

- You mentioned several kernels, what do you consider is the most stable from those.

- How to backup EFS folder (cant find any program or apk that does it, on my S2 I had NVTOOLS)

- A nice root methode (I've looked for a good root method and the one I tried didnt work and I had to flash the original firmware to get things good again.)

If I may ask, can you post links on what versions should I download (LP ROM, kernel and recovery)? Not sure if the forum rules permit it, in any case, PM'me with them if possible. I've got the LTE sm-n9005 version. Would be very thankfull if you could help me out with the basic stuff since I'm really unsure of what to download and what is compatible with(feeling like a total noob here).

Once again thanks for helping me

This, if you would like to use Xposed. If you don't need Xposed then use any stock Odexed ROM, for example this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649176

Now these are the ROMs which are basically stock ROM, with some nifty features added. But if you want a fully featured ROM then use AryaMod, http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920

But all Xposed modules won't work with this ROM as it has its own modifications. But otherwise I don't think there is any feature which is lacking in this ROM :laugh: I was a happy user, if it weren't for Xposed I would still be using it I suppose.

- Stock kernel is the most stable man, seriously. But if you are like me who can't live without additional features then try arter, http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-note-3-t3028148

Or try Lean, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488082

- Hold on, I have forgotten about the procedure, I will come back when I remember though.

- Rooting is easy. Flash TWRP, https://twrp.me/ Then flash this SuperSU zip from the recovery (TWRP), https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadeftw:
Thanks! You are awsome!

I'm at work now, so, I cant do this. When I get home I will do it and give you feedback.

Thanks once again.

*EDIT*

Well, I downloaded the recovery file file from TPRW, the thing is, its .img instead of .tar so I cant flash it trough odin. Am I missing something? xD

*Edit 2*

Found out about flashify 10/10

I was not used to this kind of stuff ahah
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
If you want to flash with Odin then you need this file, .tar one, https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar

I am not sure whether that link will open for you or not, but I just copied the URL.

PS: This is the link to EFS backup by the way, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447342
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadeftw:
Thanks for everything. I've managed to root, install recovery and back up EFS. I have a last question. I'm going to use Sammy's ROM for a while, can I use any of those kernels on it?

EDIT: **** me, I decided to install lean kernel to experiment and my ROM didnt booted, so I decided to instal araya xD

I'm using dolphin browser on my Razr and it plays most of the flash content: videos, animations and such. However, it fails when the page is completely based on flash.

On my ARM tablet, dolphin with a flash plugin loads even the latter. So I guess, flash on android "hacks" are just not 100% compatible with our x86 device.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harjood_Jones:
Just bought one of these beasts - use is mainly for phone, text eBook & video. But I can find no way to increase the display size of a contact when they ring - i.e. the image is centered & sized around 0.5 cm (1/4 inch). Is there a way to increase the size of the image? Or an app that will do this?

I have tried the app: HD Full Screen Caller ID; I can assign a high def pic to a contact but it does not display on incoming or outgoing calls.

Any help would be great. thanks.

[X Style (Pure) General] Fantach:
Hi, maybe its to early to compare but since the price for both devices are almost the same in Europe i really cant decide which one is the better choice. Let me tell you something, i really like the pure android experience on Moto but i think that LG isn`t bad either. I hear there are some problems with data connection and touch on LG, and i am not sure if they solve the issue. Then again, the specs are pretty much the same on both, or am i missing something?

So what do you think, from your point of view?
[X Style (Pure) General] thefallen924:
The LG G4 is available today brand new unlocked on eBay for $452, shipped. The reason i went with the X Pure is because LG's UI is ugly and a resource hog IMO. Motorola's additions to Android are minimal yet extremely useful, which i prefer. I also feel that since the Pure is being sold unlocked directly through motorola, there will be better development for it here on XDA.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
The G4 has 0 development (at least Verizon and other locked bootloader devices). I love my G4 but she's going back in the box when my 64gb Moto X Style arrives.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
I have the G4. So development is dead, if you have a carrier one you have touchscreen issues (miss touches and lag), there is a fix but you have to wait for the update. Locked bootloader... I love the phone but it is annoying to use at the moment. Bring on the moto x
[X Style (Pure) General] YankInDaSouth:
I have the TMobile G4 and a recent update fixed the touchscreen issues. I never had data issues though.

I am planning on switching to the Moto X Pure Edition. While I don't mind the LG UI and the phone has some nice useful customizations, I still prefer the stock Android experience. Throw Moto's features on top of that and the experience is that much better! I am also looking forward to the carrier-free experience!

G4'ed it!
[X Style (Pure) General] Fantach:
Thanks for the feedback guys, i think i ll get the Moto x Style :)
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Good choice ;) Don't get me wrong the screen and the camera on the G4 is awesome but stock is the way to go!
[X Style (Pure) General] spotmark:
I'm coming from the Verizon G4. While I love the looks, the feel, the camera, etc, I'm just not getting a good feeling that it will ever see a bootloader unlock. My MXP is supposed to arrive in a week, and I'm really looking forward to it.
[X Style (Pure) General] tietherope:
I'm on the G3 right now and looking at the G4 as my finacee needs a phone and can take my G3. I was hoping to get the Moto X Pure, but I can't bring myself to go backwards on camera quality. Can't count on the new Nexus phones being great in that department either.
[X Style (Pure) General] tietherope:
Exactly, there's much more to it. All cameras now are measured against the LG G4, new Galaxy range and iPhone 6. From everything I've seen the Moto X Play & Style are not on the same level as these phones.
[X Style (Pure) General] YankInDaSouth:
I admit I got the G4 due to all the camera hype ... and it certainly lives up to that hype! Manual mode is cool, but honestly WAY over my head. However, I have come to realize I don't take very many pictures - I find myself wanting to take more pictures due the G4's camera though LOL. Personally, I'd rather the Moto features and stock Android over the G4 camera as said Moto features will get far more use than the camera. Yes, I may have situations where I am let down or aggravated by the camera on the X, but as I mentioned, taking pictures for me isn't a normal occurrence so it's worth the trade-off IMHO.

Edit: And I've had the first and second gen Xs and seen what improvements Motorola can make via software updates. While it may never get to G4 quality, I am confident they will address what ever shortcomings the camera has (assuming it's limited to software and not hardware)
[X Style (Pure) General] Ganondroid:
I'm going to buy the MXP when I have to cash on hand. My last Android phone was a Droid Razr(ancient). I've since been to and iPhone 5s, and don't really like the OS. I've also been using a 2012 nexus 7 and still use it every day. The pure Android experience on the Nexus devices trump all. Add in the Moto Features and you can't go wrong. The Camera in the G4 is better, but if you're buying a ~&400 device for a camera only, you should buy an actual camera. The G4 also had an IR blaster, which I don't believe the Moto X Pure has. It would be nice to have that, but it really doesn't sway a decision for me. I also like the 0.2 inch boost on the screen size for the MXP, but that's an entirely opinion based decision. Dev support will certainly be better for Moto as well. I would also like to point out that the Moto X is actually cheaper, and straight from Moto, so customer support will be better than getting it from a rand third party on Ebay.
[X Style (Pure) General] gpz1100:
Looking at various reviews/pics of the X play, getting at the battery isn't all that complicated. It's not a plug'n'play replacement, but appears to be a rather simple disassembly process. If it's anything like the 1st gen moto g, it's a no brainer.
[X Style (Pure) General] gpz1100:
Folks, can we stick to the topic please. I'm all for no replacement for displacement but I don't want to read up it in an updates for phone thread.
[X Style (Pure) General] Crewville96:
I have a sony z3 compact with a 21 mp camera. It is nowhere near as good as a galaxy s5, s6, note whatever, g3, or g4. Not even close.

MP don't mean sh*t.

Thread thoroughly cleaned! Please keep this on topic.

Thank you.

[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah I agree, not all sensors are created equal which means you could have horrible ones and good ones. Perfect example is the 8 MP sensors on the iPhone... there are a lot of 8 MP sensors on the market that don't come anywhere close to the photos the iPhones put out, some are down right laughable. I think the G4 and S6 will have a better camera than the moto x, however I do not think it will be by much, for me as long as it is decent I will be happy.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
I wonder how many days after the first few MXP's are delivered it'll take for TWRP to show up? My guess is that by the time I receive mine on the 21st, there will be a couple lightly mod'ed roms to flash.

...and then the G4 goes back in the box.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
It wont take long, the play got it quickly if I'm not mistaken, just a few drivers and it will be ready to go.
[X Style (Pure) General] Ganondroid:
After reading some more reviews, I'm not so sure the G4 has a better camera. At least not for me. I rarely take pictures, but when I do, I only take them in good lighting areas. The reviews I have read say that the MXP has a better camera than any in good lighting. That's all I need to hear to give the MXP my vote for camera as well as my previously mentioned features.

[Verizon LG G4] mohinipollob:
I think it may be ypur appropriate answer.The answer is given below-

S4's Micro-USB port actually doubles as an MHL-out port, letting you output HD video and 7.1 surround sound, all while charging your phone. With this wired connection you'll be tethered to your TV, but the benefit of that hard-wired connection is that you get glitch-free mirroring, since wireless mirroring can sometimes give you tinny audio and laggy video.
