[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Morningstar:
Hey XDA,

I'm pleased to announce the first (unofficial) CM 13 ROM for the Galaxy Note 3... This ROM is almost pure CyanogenMod 13, with a few minor tweaks/additions, and is fast, stable, and perfect for use as a daily driver.

CyanogenMod is continuing to update their CM13 sources (usually several times a day), and as they do, there will undoubtedly be additional features added, bringing it up to speed with what's available in CM12.1. In the meantime, however, I've included a few of my personal favorite mods/extra settings, and will be adding a few more when time permits. I'm not going to go crazy with extra features, because @Temasek has a fantastic CM13 build for the Note 3 as well, that will eventually include all sorts of extras. I will, however, be working on implementing a few of my own original mods/creations. If there's anything in particular that you'd like to see added, let me know!

Also, in case you missed the announcement, @Sheradrax will be the primary person watching over/maintaining this thread. I will be around as much as I possibly can, but my time is very limited for at least the next few weeks, so please try to direct and questions/issues/comments to him if possible. Thanks again, Sheradrax.

Any Note 3 model with a Snapdragon Processor.

Custom recovery (I recommend TWRP).

Patience.

Instructions

MAKE A BACKUP

.

Download the ROM zip and the GApps zip to your device.

Boot to recovery, and do a full wipe (minus your internal and external SD, which are optional). If coming from a previous build, dirty flashing will work, though clean flashing is always recommended.

Flash the ROM, then flash the GApps.
