Custom ROM on Note 3? Who's using what? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hi all,
I'm thinking about trying out some custom ROMs on my Note 3, but am not sure whether that will cause problems with the Gear.
Is anyone here using a custom ROM on their Note 3?
If so, which one?
Does it cause any issues with the Gear? e.g. some functions or apps not working
I have an N900, but interested to hear of issues on either platform.
Cheers,
Rich

Use stock, not even rooted.
With Knox I do not know I even want to play with custom ROMs

Stock here also (not that I have much choice with the Verizon version) although I rooted it immediately so I could do unlimited tether etc.
With root, totally debloated and running Xposed with Wanam module I have basically all the advantages of a custom ROM/theme etc. and everything works perfectly.

DarthStalker V3, about to go to 4. No issues.

Jellybomb v2 beta 3. Works great

i'm working with stock Rom rooted and Gear rooted .
otherwise Galaxy Gear works fine with custom Rom ? (for example : Gear Manager : intelligent-relay and auto-lock?)
thanks...

Will odex/deodex make any difference to the Gear?

Need the stock app for samsung captivate(daily briefing) apk or zip..

..can anyone help?
I searched for this and found that apparently Samsung has removed daily briefing from 2.2 due to compatibility issues. That being said, if you're running an i9000 rom you may be able to rip that version from one of those. I believe phoenix actually has it as a feature.

you need to be rooted and use either ADB/shell commands, or an app like root explorer or super manager
Super Manager I had to use. Much easier!!

[Q] Why note 3 is so slow after 4.4.2 update ?

I received AT&T OTA update for 4.4.2 and after that I see that my phone is really slow. anyone else experiencing the same issues ?
Also, if I instal the custom ROM, I will lose all the S-Pen features ? Is there any ROM that offers any S-Pen features ?

I heard about people having issues after the OTA. Unfortunately if you took the OTA, you cannot root therefore you cannot install a custom ROM which is too bad. I am running Dynamic Kat and Dynamic Kat Xtreme which are extremely fast with minimal if any issues.

Wait..I cannot root my note 3 ? How this is possible ? I thought it is possible to root any phone as long as custom ROM is available (irrespective of stock android) ? I cannot root my phone with roms like cyanogenmod etc ?

Not in the case of the Note 3 and the latest KitKat update from AT&T. You needed to be rooted on 4.3 and update to Kitkat via a custom ROM. Right now you and everyone else who took the OTA update are stuck. Sorry man. Read around the forums. You will see the sad truth.

Not if you have the At&t Note 3. (Locked Bootloader)
Your out of luck until Kingo comes out with a Root solution or someone else
Still you cant run a custom ROM that needs a kernal.
You can only install TouchWiz roms. FOREVER no exceptions until bootloader is unlocked which will never happen EVER.
Yes S Pen work with our custom ROMs. (TouchWiz) we cant install CM on these phones period.
So here is your situation. You have installed the wonderful Stock 4.4.2 from At&t and are stuck.
I would factory reset it (Stock Recovery) and see if that helps.
Thats it.

Oh no..this is really strange and very surprising to me that there is no way to install custom ROM on AT&T note 3 with OTA 4.4.2 update.
So, in the update they have locked the bootloader completely which cannot be unlocked ? Because in normal rooting process, we usually unlock the booatloader first, it can't be done in this case ?
Is this restriction added from AT&T or Samsung ?

When this Phone first came out the bootloader was locked (By At&t)
This new update didn't do that. You just can't root your phone on the OTA 4.4.2 right now.
Once you get it rooted, you can install SafeStrap 3.72 and flash a custom rom.

Man oh man. It's okay. I got you.
You can still root this phone. You just have to wait for someone to figure it out like Kingo.
We rooted before the OTA and I froze the update apk.

I installed a custom KITKAT rom and enjoying my phone a lot. Just have to stay involved in these forms and read read read. You will be fine. Check Kingo android root online to see if the released a new version that will root it for you. Locked bootloader means no custom kernels, there for AOSP, CM and others won't work. Only Touch wiz.

Oh ok..so Kingo is working on it and still not done ?
Also..what you say..you froze the update apk..what do you mean by that ? when you rooter the note 3 before OTA, you successfully completed that and now you are running custom ROM ?
I froze the system app that updates automatically. So I wouldn't get NB4 or what you have. Using TBU

Is there any way to make the performance of note 3 faster and less sluggish (OTHER THAN FACTORY RESET) ?
I have tried doing a factory reset but still note 3 performance is not good even tho this is a great specs phone.
Turn off all of the boatware in the settings menu. That should help some. Also, go into developer options and change the animation scales to .5 or off. That won't really make your phone faster, but it will seem faster. There's a thread in the general section about making your phone super fast.

1) What does this animation option does ?
2) How to disable the boatware ? How to disable app as I do not see disable button in app settings for any app ? can you please give me a test example please ?
The changing the animation times will make the animations between switching windows faster or slower. Changing them to .5 will make them faster and off will make them nonexistent so there will be no animations between windows. When the animations are faster/off it will make the phone seem faster. Not sure if my explanation is clear enough, but if you try it you'll see what I mean.
To turn stuff off, go to the settings menu, application manager, and pick an application. For example, let's say you pick HP Print Plugin. Near the top right of the screen you will see a button that says "turn off". Push this and the application will be disabled. Some of them you cannot turn off. Be careful which ones you turn off because it can cause problems if you disable the wrong thing.

Alliance rom from RErick question

My note 3 is all factory and I want to use RERICK'S alliance rom. Question is my phone is a virgin, other than the Kk update from att or samsung, whoever. Does that rom work on nc2 build or does it have to be on a different or specific build? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for me? I had the infuse 4G and had good luck with custom roms and feel confident about modding this beast now. Also do I really have to worry about knox? I do plan on getting the note 4 when it comes out but I am on the att next plan. Will they still take my phone w custom rom or tripped knox? 0x1. Is there a way to go back to completely stock in the box at all? And would it operate the same?

Root, install safestrap, make a backup of your stock rom, and you're good to go, I did a restore from a backup back to stock and it was seamless for me, like nothing ever happened.
Kool, thank for the input! Worked like a charm! There are a couple Lil bugs but it's a great rom! How and where do I get a log so I can help these guys out now?
So I have been running this rom and it's freakin awesome as far as the customization goes but I am having an issue with chrome and Internet. Chrome doesn't do anything at all and regular Internet takes a good minute to load any pages. I would like to help RErick or anybody else dial in the rom but don't know how and where to get\do a data log to give to the devs. Any help with that would be appreciated.

I actually had to go into /system/app and delete the chrome apk and then download chrome from the play store

[Q] S5 vs S5 active

I just bought the S5 active and cannot find a rom that works with it. Do we have a list of roms anywhere that are for the S5 active? Or is there a mod for the current S5 roms to work with the active? I was really looking forward to the CM12, but when I tried it, I received an error that said the rom was a 'klte' rom not a 'klteattactive' rom.

TAB S2 and general questions regarding ROOT or lack thereof

hello fellow samsungers;
hope you are enjoying the festivus.
I recently purchased an S2 9.7. This thing is hot, but I digress.
I am coming from a rooted Nexus 7 running CM13.
I know the doose and donts, however, I still these few questions:
1) other than the obvious warranty loss, will Galaxy apps not run outside of Touchwiz?
2) do I need this knox feature? Can I get rid of it? I'm fine with stock authentication and encruptions services.
3) can a restore a samsung app on am android that is not running Touchwiz?
4) I can use the same chainfire su and busybox root apps on a rooted galaxy.
thanks!
1,2,3 are wrong, You can't do that. 4 is ok but at this stage there is not much to do due to the lack of development.

1. You can not use Samsung apps without Touchwiz.
2. If you are rooted you can and should freeze or delete all of the Knox apps.
3. See answer for #1
4. If you root using the methods on this S2 forum you will have Chainfire's SuperSU. Any root apps will work.
