On the stock rom? I know other roms allow this, but has anyone came up with a way to do it on stock?
No mods out there for this? I will donate some cash if someone could make one, or be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction to try to make one myself.
most of the ROMS will give you the option to do this.

Yeah I know...I am looking for a mod so I can remove it from the stock rom...
Nova Launcher will do this for you on stock rom.
Yeah Im looking for a mod though, I prefer the stock launcher.
Well first off you won't find any mods for a "stock" rom. You need to be running a deodexed rom to be able to flash edited apk's. And I scanned the sprint section and didn't see a deodexed rom so even if you wanted to try to edit it yourself you would need to wait for someone to post one or deodex a system dump of your own and continue on editing to your liking.
Or just grow some big ones and flash a rom
good day.

I KNOW how frustrating it is...trust me, I do.
When people tell me exactly what I say "Hey, please don't mention _____. I know it works. I'd rather not."
But, honestly, flash a rom.
Not only will you have a BOAT LOAD of extra features...
But you can ignore them completely if you want.
Flash stock kernel/bootanimation...and you're back to that stock feel.
If you're worried about getting updates...you could always fastboot flash stock once 4.0.5 rolls out or whatever the next may be.
Thanks for the replies guys, I have already flashed four different roms..its not that Im scared I just prefer stock. I hated the stock rom on my old evo and had a different rom every week. I just really like this google phone as is (with the exception of not being able to remove the battery/clock )

I have been around for a while but I guess not longf enough because I have no exact idea what this is and if I need it. I am going to go to a newer Froyo but I would like to know which flavor. Grazi ;-)
Google is your friend

http://androidforums.com/droid-all-things-root/104855-what-exactly-deodexed.html
Deodexed roms will allow you to apply a completely different theme on your phone. You cannot do that with a odexed roms.
Got it, mucho grazi
I get it now as every explaination had to do with themeing and I see why. It really has to do with eliminating some interdependencies as well as I see in the first link. I think I will go with the deodexed version as it will have the best chance of hulu running properly, as I have been unable to get it with any of the odexed, now I see a maybe ;-)
These roms are dz compatible and thought u guys might want to know about them:

The OTA added wifi calling, wifi hotspot built in, and new kernel. There is no reason to use the pre ota, I'm gonna put a pre ota back up when I get a chance, just cause.
First of all, thanks for your work.
Question: I did not use this particular ROM but I did flash a stock G2 ROM - is there any way to get rid of the hideous G2 picture that is displayed during boot?

HAHA, yes, on stock android roms like this, if you go into you /system/media folder, you will see bootanamation.zip, replace that with a custom one.
I haven't been over to the theme section to see if any custom ones were made yet or not. You can make your own, just search these forums how. The directions are in g1 theme section for sure, u could prob use one from there, just not sure how good it will look due to screen res being different. Maybe try one from n1 or evo theme section...
New version plus universal theme template now up.
Hello!
I am just getting the hang of everything here and now I want a Theme.
I have the OTA Stock ROM , just Rooted for S-Off
I am using Launcher Pro and I have customized the the Dock and all the Icon and Widgets now..
But I want more! Is it Possible to get themes for this or anything like this?
Still searching! Thanks in advance ^_^
Kyle
Also I have Metamorph Installed and I am trying to use that also , Assuming that is the easiest way? THanks!
Hey man, I just recently rooted, installed a rom, kernel and themed my phone. So i was in the same position a couple of days ago
If your read around here the main thing you will see when doing something to your phone is making sure you have a Nandroid back up. The link below will show you how to create one and it gives you some other helpful advice. That post really made me confident on moving forward with my rooting experience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9100239&postcount=15
Follow these steps to the T. It will save u just in case something goes wrong.
Once you follow those steps you can move forward to selecting a ROM which will change your phones layout also making it possible to flash a theme.
ROMS

Hope this helps.
oh sick, sorry for the late reply! what rom did you choose? Yea i did nandroid back up right away when i rooted a few months back, always been iffy on ROM's but i am about to say f it and just go all out!
I've been poking around looking for a Touchwiz based ROM to upgrade to and I'm completely confused and thoroughly bedazzled (comic sans, multiple colors, huge signature graphics, etc).
It seems that MK4 based ROMs are based off of the latest Sprint images, but to upgrade into one of those, you have to revert to a stock less than MK4 ROM, then update to MK4, then upgrade to an MK4 based ROM? Does it matter if you are rooted or not? I got the impression you had to unroot at some point...
What happened to the days of a ROM was self contained? I've seen several ROMS mention that you had to have a certain base ROM already installed to install a different ROM. That sounds needlessly complicated....
I found this ROM I would like to load:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537186
and it seems this is a stock MK4 ROM, but I'm not sure

well to answer your question about if you need to be rooted to flash this rom or any rom. As for your first link that isnt a rom its a MOD. That MOD allow you to add those features to a 4.3 rom and above. And for the second link you can flash that itll be stock. The link I provided is for the rom im currently using which is TW based rom ad has the Note 3 spen features already included. Check it out. Hope I made sense. Let me know if u have any other questions. Ill try and answer them to the best of my knowledge. Good day to you

Ah, I see what happened. I didn't know there was such a thing as a MOD, only ROMs. I came across the ROM you linked to thinking it was a repost of the MOD-that-I-thought-was-a-ROM, so i was wondering what was going on.
I will give that ROM a shot. Thanks for clarifying things!

Yeaah np. Hit the thanka button if I helped out hahahah. XD
This is my device at this point:
1. Rooted 4.4.2
2. Stock T-Mobile ROM
3. I can flash SinLess ROM v2.1.2 with no issues after reboot
ANY Aroma ROM I try to flash (for example, DARTHSTALKER_NOTE3_V6), after reboot after installing results in a bootloop at the Samsung screen.
Are NONE of the Aroma ROMs not working on the T-Mobile Note 3?
I would really like to flash the DARTHSTALKER_NOTE3_V6 but can't if I can't get past the Samsung screen on a bootloop.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Darthstalker is a 4.3 base ROM. It won't work on a 4.4 bootloader, which is what you have if you took the OTA or flashed the Odin 4.4 package. It's not Aroma, it's just that most of the Aroma installer ROMs haven't been updated to 4.4 yet. And Samsung made the bootloader incompatible, so once you are on 4.4, you can't boot a 4.3 ROM.
Same with recovery. Make sure you flash 4.4 bootloader versions of TWRP/CWM or it won't boot.
so what IS a 4.4.2 with Aroma and NOT AOSP?

Thank you for the insight, I was seriously under the (wrong) impression that DeathStalker was a 4.4.2 ROM. I really didn't know.
IS there a list of 4.4.2 stock rooted ROMs with Aroma? You wrote "most of the Aroma installers haven't been updated to 4.4 yet." Which have? It's very confusing because honestly, i was looking and didn't see that DeathStalker was a 4.3 ROM. I went back and looked and noticed a bunch of JB stuff in the list of enhancements which gave it away.
Well, if anyone can suggest a good stable 4.4.2 ROM with Aroma and not AOSP, I want to keep the SPEN functionality that is still missing in CM. Although I do LOVE CM. Used it religiously on my S3.
thank you in advance.
I honestly don't know of any that have. Any reason you want an Aroma installer? It's not like you see it after the install is done. Most modded stock ROMs will list the "base" ROM they started from in the OP. Check that, and if it's a 4.4 base, it will likely work fine on your 4.4 bootloader phone. There's going to be a bit of a rough patch for a while as the ROMs get updated and users get updated. You just have to read up on each one to verify before installing. Just do a thread search for "bootloader" or "4.4" and read some of the posts. Chances are, it's been asked and answered in the thread if you look.
I'm just running a rooted stock build without Knox/CIQ, the stock ZIP that teshxx posted in the dev forum. Then just used Titanium Backup to un-install any bloatware I didn't want. Add a few Xposed modules, and it's a quite good ROM.
If you like CM, the SPEN does work. It acts a bit like a mouse. It's the built-in apps that don't work. You can replace the functionality of many of them. But if you really like some of them, that's not a great option. I ran CM/AOSP builds for a while, but decided the stability of a stock ROM was more important to me right now. I'll probably be back on CM after a while. I like the speed boost from the slimmer ROM.
Awesome reply

What a thoughtful and excellent reply. Thank you very much. I'm looking at MyROM Revolution and may download that.
Honestly, I wanted Aroma because it seemed so much more customizable upon installation rather than taking the vision that a dev had for the ROM they created. I may well be wrong and thank you for the update on CM and SPEN, good to know. I just didn't check out the official CM thread as I had heard no SPEN support yet.
I'm running Sinless ROM and while good, it has a certain non-customizable feel to it. Just looking for something lighter, just not as light until everything is stable of CM.
thank you and if anyone has any suggestions for any 4.4.2 ROMs with (or without) Aroma please pass them on.
Is there a list of 4.4.2 ROMs that are compatible?

A few questions:
1. Where is the international forum for the Note 3?
2. Where can I find a link to the X-NOTE ROM? (I searched at the top-level of T-Mobile Note 3 forums and found nothing in results)

3. Is the international X-NOTE ROM compatible with the T-Mobile device and if so, what is lost/not working in the international version that exists in the T-Mobile version?

It's that one. N look at there questions&answers thread has how to flash it basically download wifi nfc blue tooth fix and wootevers kernel. Wipe of course. Flash rom(CSC is default and also choose NO kernel) one done go on and flash wootevers kernel then the wifi fix. Zip should be a go I did it reverse and wifi was bad flashed it again all gravy
---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------
Oh also the side effect I had. It deleted everything in my internal so make sure you put the kernel and wifi fix on ext SD so you'll hace it available. You'll eventually get your pictures back and music too but not 3rd downloads from the net or apps like wallpapers of screen shots. Be aware
