Pdroid patch/zip for Tmo Note 2 Stock ROM?

Has anyone built a flashable zip file against the stock Tmobile 4.1.1 ROM to enable Pdroid use?
I used it on my old phone and would really like to get it on my Note2 as soon as possible.

It doesn't exist. The original PDroid worked with TW roms built on GB, but not on ICS and beyond. An auto-patcher is available for ICS and JB, but not for OEM skinned roms. I am running CM10 on my T889 and have PDroid working on it like a champ.

So you are using one of the nightly CM10 builds?
Last time I looked there were several things not working yet that I wasn't willing to give up.

I'm using madmack's AT&T CM10 26122012 build. Some have reported audio, BT, and lag, but not everybody is experiencing these issues.
Personally, I only experience the lag sometimes. It can be fixed by flashing the older kernel from the previous built, but that means giving up the exynos patch in the new kernel. I prefer security over minor inconvenience.
Anyway, the auto patcher has no problem working with this rom. If you decide to flash it, I can upload the patches I used from my computer.

Hmm...if I'm gonna have to go custom rom to use an existing patch I guess I might as well dump my stock rom and try patching it myself.

If someone wants to take a stab at this, TrevE just uploaded a PDroid port for the Verizon GS3 TouchWiz ROM.

More quality work from TrevE. He's the one that exposed CarrierIQ. I'd give it a try, but I can't go back to TW.

I do hope someone does take a stab at it as although I don't have any attatchment to TouchWiz, I don't think I could give up many of the s-pen functions and apps that, so far as I know, are only avalible when using TouchWiz.

It appears from the GSIII thread thst several people are working to port TrevE's TW-compatible version over to the Note2.

*BUMP* any news on pdroid for TW Roms?

[Q] Want to know more about ROM

Hey guys,
I am thinking to try paranoidkangdroid 4.2.2 ROM for galaxy s3 AT&T. but my phone is still running 4.1.1 and there is no update for the at&t yet for 4.2.
I searched whether 4.2.2 rom will work for at&t or not and got the ans saying NO but there will be soon.
so if they release that and if my phone is still running 4.1.1 will i still be able to install the 4.2.2 rom in my phone?
i tried finding the requirments but couldn't find one.
thank you.

Anyways as a matter of fact, all Custom ROMs for AT&T Galaxy SIII is in the Development section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1705
I'm still not sure whether you need official Samsung/AT&T update to 4.2.2 in order to try custom ROMs. Anyways I'll flag the Moderator to move this Thread to AT&T Galaxy SIII section, so that people using this device can give you a better suggestion.

Your stock firmware doesn't really affect what you have to do with flashing a new ROM. I have the i747 as well (on 4.1.1 stock) and i flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies (4.2.2) pretty easily. You don't need to worry about what you have right now. Just make sure you back up the ROM and follow all the procedures for installing a new one.
BTW AT&T (or Samsung for all that matters) probably won't release 4.2 at all. It's only out for the Nexus devices at the moment. The only way is to flash a new ROM right now.
and yes, you WILL be able to install 4.2.2, even if you're running 4.1.1 on your stock firmware. (Just make sure to backup in case anything goes wrong!) Your new ROM is not dependent on your old one

here's the thing
4.1.2 came out for S3 international ~4 months ago, U.S S3 yet have yet to have it
and there's no real date when they'll even release 4.1.2
so how long do you think we'll able to get an official version of 4.2.1? and then 4.2.2?

4.1.2 began slowly rolling out barely 3 months ago on the international variant. one of the features is the multi-view. as has been covered already, this affects the US variants as we have dual core phones vs the i9300s quad. we wont see a 4.1.2 firmware release.
i dont see any real carrier-published updates for the US models until the release of the s4

actually there will be 4.1.2 for U.S s3
it's just some features that you saw on international (multi-view, etc..) won't be there for us

So then it's not the same 4.1.2 release as people have been inquiring about. And I still say the US S3 won't see a major update until the S4

Is anyone having issues flashing Aroma ROMs on 4.4.2 Rooted?

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)
**UPDATE: IS THIS THE FORUM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472301
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?
thanks in advance.

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

[Q] Question about custom roms on the SM-N900T

Hello everyone, I have a new T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2. The phones been pretty good with the exception of TouchWiz. I HATE TouchWiz. To me it is a deal breaker. I much prefer the vanilla Android experience of my Galaxy Nexus. So I'd like to know if it would be possible for me to install something like CM11 or AOSP? Or should I just exchange my Note for Nexus 5? I apologize if this has been answered before, but as a newb I haven't been able to find a clear answer in searching and I really need an answer with only a couple of days left to exchange my phone.
To skip to the question,
Would it be possible for me to install a ROM like CM11 or AOSP onto my new T-Mobile Note 3 which has been updated to 4.4.2?

Yes, you can install CM11 easily, as long as you don't care about KNOX.
You just need to download your favorite recovery(I use TWRP 2.7), odin install it. Then download the latest version of whatever AOSP ROM you want, and make a backup of your current system in recovery, then format all(excluding internal and external SD), then flash the ROM.

I don't see any CM11 or other AOSP ROM's in the TMO Original Development subforum. My favorite AOSP ROM, SlimROM, only shows the "Hlte" Note 3 as being supported. Which I think is the International N3. Can we flash that on the TMO S3's?

Yes, ALL AOSP Rom's are "Unified" meaning that the HLTE version of their roms support our device, and other hlte versions(AT&T and so on).

Thanks. That's the way it is for the S4 also.
But on the AT&T S4 original development subforums, we actually have AOSP ROM threads. Where as I see none on the TMO Note 3 subforum. Kinda weird.

[Q] Looking for Stock Rooted 4.2.2 ROM for VZW

I just got a SCH I515 for my mother and it's currently running Cyanogenmod 10.2. This is going to be her first smartphone, but she's familiar with the stock ROM on my Note 2. So, I was looking for a stock rooted 4.2.2 ROM. I've tried searching for a stock rooted ROM without any luck. I really don't need a rooted ROM for her, but I'd really like to run Rom Toolbox and Titanium Backup.
So, does anyone have a link to a stock rooted ROM? If there's one that has all the bloatware removed like the Sophisticated ROM I ran on my Note 2 that'd be ideal.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have no experience with the i515.

As far as I know there are no TouchWiz ROMs for the i535 at version 4.2.2 because it never official got the update (straight from 4.1.2 to 4.3.0). Are you looking specifically for TouchWiz ROMs or are AOSP acceptable too?

That looks like a good ROM. Is there a way I can use the Samsung TouchWiz keyboard on an AOSP ROM? I personally hated the kb in every AOSP ROM I tried on my Note 2.
