I try to do a quick search but I'm not quite sure if Slimkat offers an official rom for the AT&T note 3..
I see that they have one labeled "hlte" but I do not know if it compatible. I don't want to brick my note 3 flashing some incompatible ROM.
I'm looking for a rom that very slimmed down with lots of customisation and not bloated. What would you suggest?

As far as I know Slimkat requires a non Samsung kernel to work, and as such will not work on the AT&T version until/unless a bootloader unlock is found. As for what I suggest, I'm personally on Dynamic Kat and haven't felt the need to try any others after flashing that. It is Touchwiz based, as all ROMs will be, but pretty slimmed down, and has a theme you an flash to make it look a bit more like a GPE device
I'd echo neoman. Dynamic Kat and Dynamic Extreme are amazing.

I am after a plain ROM for the 19000 as I think the one I have is carrier locked (can not get internet to work on it) I am tempory using Vodafone but will soon swap to TPG (optus) can someone point out what ones are just the stock roms for this device?
Thanks.
DarkyROM is a fantastic ROM. It's super fast and great out of the box. You can also customize the look and feel of the ROM. But the main point is, it's really FAST.

Is it stable?
DarkyROMs usually are very stable, well customizable over OTA and good supported by the devs. The thing with DarkyROM is that it is allways based on stock Samsung roms, so don't expect a lot new releases these days.
For stability i use stoc JVZ+semaphore 2.5.0
Hello.. I am just new here in xda.. I just bought my note 4 months ago and I think I am not maximing its potentials..My phone is already rooted.
I just want to ask your opinions on how can I make my phone cool/useful?
What rom are you on? Personally I believe the note should be more tablet like which is why I like cm based roms especially paranoid android 2.50. Gives you the option to have different display modes per app.
I also prefer a vanilla feel that helps with battery as all bloatware is removed.
This is impossible to advise really without knowing what you use the note for.

Flash 4.1.2 rom
You will feel like you have a note 2
Customising the Galaxy Note GT-N7000
It really depends what you mean by cool.........
Super fast - using kernels optimised for performance such as HydraCore
Bleeding edge Jelly Bean ROMs such as Paranoid Android
Rock solid TouchWiz ROMs such as Rocket ROM ICS and now JellyBean (based on recent leaked Samsung ROMs)
EyeCandy-tastic ROMs such as RocketMIUI
Pay attention to what these different ROMs don't do when you are considering which to flash and play with.
E.G. a lot of the stripped down ROMs and those based on CyanoGenMod don't have the Samsung productivity apps.
So if you love S-Memo, S-Note, S-Voice, look at the TouchWiz ROMs.
There are alternatives to all the Samsung productivity apps in the Google Play Store, if you find the ROM you want to stick with doesn't have them.
You are rooted, so you just need to get to grip with some of the basics of flashing ROMs..
Sujal has a great thread to take you through the whole process from out of the box to custom ROM and custom Kernel.
Chasmodo has a great thread which will help you understand what kernels are safe on the Note.
It is advisable to make a Nandroid backup of your current build through CWM before you start playing with different ROMs.
Then you can restore your working build through CWM if anything goes pear shaped.
The cool thing is that once you have got to grips with flashing and understand safe kernels, then you can flash as many different ROMs as you like until you find the one that suits you.
NOTE: Custom ROMs do not update OTA (Over The Air), through Kies or any other official update mechanism. You need to keep an eye on the thread for the custom ROM you are using and flash the updates from the thread.
Just in case you ever lose root (it does happen):
The best up to date guide for rooting is Dr. Ketan's Rooting Guide. (in my opinion)
Dr. Ketan really knows his stuff and will be happy to answer questions when he is around.
Phil3759 has another great rooting guide which may also help, and has potentially simpler methods for rooting.
You will need to pay attention to the N7000 specific elements of this thread to avoid any unintentional bricking.
Are there any noticeable improvements (performance-wise) in the custom KitKat ROMs and the stock 4.1.2? I mean, are there any changes that you can feel and see, or is it just a new android version with fancy new features?
Also I'd wait until a stable version of OmniROM or CM gets built until I try to flash my device.

I have flashed CM nightlies, PA nightlies, 4.3 PAC and Omni ROM.. Each Rom has its own unique features and performance difference!..
But personally i would say, those has its own + and - things..
The last ROM i flashed 4.4.2 Dirt Unicorns Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633846 ) seemed Great to me.. Overall Nice features cheery picked from all ROMS but again its individual's preference in the end of the day and Every ROM is unique in its own way!
NOTE:- S-Note, S planner and other samsung apps will work only if you are flashing a Touchwiz based Rom.. Those apps wont work in CM, PA and AOKP Roms cuz they need TW framework to work with!
If you are thinking of flashing of TW based Roms, i would recommend 2 Roms to take a look at..
X-Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320871 ) This is the Rom, i am currently using.. It will give your phone a tablet UI, thus taking advantage of your Note's large real estate screen! .. Multi window, floating window and buttery smooth and lots of features!
You can also check out the Note 8 Apps ported to our galaxy note N7000, if you are interested.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217662 )
Arya Mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52357155 ) This is also a great Rom and cool icons and themes!
I can't say I've been using any of the TouchWiz features, to be honest.
Just a few things I don't like on the stock ROM: The gallery takes a long time to open, opening the contacts takes a bit, and the animations sometimes glitch out (they just get skipped). And I'm locked to my current provider, but as my guarantee is at an end, I'm looking for a custom ROM to get out of the damn simlock, and maybe fix some other things as well.
So if you could just point out a few major differences (both performance wise, and feature wise) between CM, Omni and Dirt Unicorns, that'd be awesome. Of course I'd still wait for a stable version to come out.
I'm not really sure if I want a TW based ROM, not that I was using any of it's features. They always were a tad bit laggy on my phone. Mainly I'm looking for a ROM that'll run the smoothest, and that's the main thing, all eye-candy and fancy stuff is just icing on the cake. But I'll check out the ROMs you linked (the links seem to be wrong, tho). Thanks a lot!
I'll post another question in the same thread, so I don't have to open another one and clutter the board.
Are the OmniROM and CM nightlies stable? Also, is the only way to update CM to download and flash a new version of the OS, since there's that opendelta thing on Omni, where you can just download the update, just like real OTA?

They aren't stable but can be used as daily driver depending upon your usage. For Omnirom there is open delta, you can check for updates in settings>About Phone and it would only download the update not the whole rom.

I doubt 4.4 will ever be 100% stable, but god bless the cooks that keep coming up with updates, since for obvious reasons,
Samsung won't port past 4.1.2 officially.
Personally, for my usage, I've skipped everything past 4.1.2, as I can go weeks between reboots, lock ups, and with a custom
launcher (go launcher), my device is smooth and rock stable. It has a stock (DBT german international device) rom, rooted,
custom kernal just in case I forgot and didn't want to erase and endure the brick bug. Uninstalled the DBT bloat.
2+ years and still going strong.

I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 11 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus, and I want the full Samsung experience, like on the stock Gingerbread ROM.
I've looked everywhere for one, but there doesn't seem to be any such ROM that meets my requirements.
Ideally, I would like a ROM to have the stock Samsung features (TouchWiz, etc), but be on Android 4.0 or later (for the latest apps to work).
Have I missed such a ROM, or am I stuck with applying customisation packs that mostly don't work?

This'll work for the S Plus also?
They're pretty similar in hardware, so I see why not, unless something is CPU-specific there.

Hi, I tried to find how to enable Incoming call notifications feature like in Note3 (when you are in app you just see small notification of incoming call instead of full screen one which sometimes shut down app).
Is any1 can help me to find or implement this in stock I9295 4.4 ROM.
Thank you
You cannot straight away enable it. You would require to replace the phone.apk with incallui.apk + a few other apk's and make several edits to systemui and frameworks to make it work.
If you are phone model is i9295 then you can flash the super WizCyan ROM which is stock 4.4.2 and having mostly S5 apps including this feature. You will get the link to the thread in my signature.
Thank you Jasonrr. That will be a lot easier if this will be available as a mod. Will wait maybe some1 will do mod with this.
Is google edition have this option?

What do you mean by google edition? there is no google edition ROM for our device (at least that I know of) and even the google edition will not have it as this is a samsung (phone app) feature. Though I remember this feature was available in one of the CM based ROM's, cannot recollect which one though.
If you are looking at an ASOP ROM then the Super WizCyan ROM is deodexed and totally debloated (can compare it with ASOP) with only the goodness of touchwiz (includes S5 Toolbox - floating app bar) with a separate aroma add-on installer for additional apps / features that were removed.
Yeah i looked at your ROM and is really interesting, maybe will try to put it on later. Did u benchmark your ROM vs stock 4.4.2?
And when i said google edition i was mean this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/rom-google-edition-sgs4a-intl-v0-4-t2817383
Or this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406177
But both looks like still having lots of bugs.

Did a benchmark once with antutu and it gave a score of around 29000. Though I should mention that I am not much a fan of the benchmarks and have never tried before debloating and applying the MOD's (if that is what you meant by stock)
Oh yes, the one by Spegelius is the kitkat version, which is still work in progress (but seems quite stable now) and partly based on CM11, while the other is a jellybean port from S4
I'm a week already with your ROM, and I can say is very smooth, performance is better than stock ROM and I see 10-20% better battery life.
So if any1 looking for this feature I suggest to instal WizzCyan ROM developed by Jasonrr. You will never want to back to stock ROM again.
