Hello everyone,
I just received my used Note 3 (T-Mobile) today that I bought from ebay, but when I turned it on I found that this phone has a custom rom installed.
As for the moment I don't want a custom rom and I want to use the stock software version on Note 3, can anyone please help me how can I do this???
Phone model is: SM-N900T
Android Version: 4.3
Build number: Darthstalker note 3 version 4
I live outside the USA and it would be nice even that when I flash to stock rom I will have my phone unlocked to use with my SIM cards here on my country.
I was searching a little online and here on the forums but I found that I couldn't flash to stock rom because of the 4.4.2 rom.
If anyone can help me, I will really appreciate it...
Thank You
Regards

Thnx phil,
Another question
I have successfully updated my Note 3 to stock 4.4.2 T-mobile but I haven't seen the new updates that comes with 4.4.2.
For example I don't see the camera icon on the home screen. Or I still have the tabs apps and widgets on the apps homepages.
Did I make anything wrong or I have to install any launcher or something else to make this other changes available.
I attached a screenshot to show you what I mean.
Thank You
P.s
I am sure that I did the update and I am running 4.4.2, at least this is what at the ABOUT DEVICE shows
I still have the tabbed app drawer, which is fine with me. As for the camera shortcut, try settings>device>lockscreen and make sure the setting is selected

Thnx for the fast reply.
I had secured the lock screen with pattern this is why I was not having this feature.
I changed it to swipe and everything is OK now.
As for the tabbed app drawer do you know how I can remove it??? I want to have only the app icons without the tabs showing.
Thnx again
Try hitting the menu button in the app drawer and playing with all the options.

I'm also having the same problem. I don't have the Edit button, Anyone have an idea why? I'm completely stumped.

Could it be because you don't have enough apps installed to require the edit page?
That's what it should look like, edit button in the bottom left. I'm guessing you don't have that?

Thanks for the replies folks. Yes I don't have that portion in the bar where it indicates an Edit button
I am almost certain its because you don't have the need for it.
The edit screen won't show unless there are apps to be listed on it.
There are only 12 apps that samsung allow for multi-screen mode on stock roms.
Try to install something like the official twitter app, or chrome browser, or unfreeze any apps you have frozen (if you froze any).
It should then show.
I agree, the edit button has very little functionality. All it allows you to do is add or remove apps from the list. Can you reorder them by holding then dragging?

Thanks for the info. I'll try that out. I have a total of 13 apps on the multi task bar though. still no edit button. I guess if I find more apps that iss applicable. I'll post back my findings. Many thanks!
re
i can confirm that with 13 apps it works , but as a previous poster has said it seems to only offer you the choice to access the overflow of apps.
cheers pj
Don't want to hijack this thread but it's slightly related to what i need,
Does anyone know how to completely remove the Multitasking bar, not just to hide it or move it to the right,left,up or down, but completely remove it so that it's not showing anywhere on the screen ?
EDIT:
Never mind, found it, by holding the back button.
Didn't search well enough, sorry for wasting space here.
Just received an update on my phone today the edit button appeared. now i can properly hide the apps that i don't want on the multitask bar.
Is it possible to move the bar to right or bottom of screen?

If you're already on Hybrid, you should be able to flash it directly on top of RC1.

I believe the threshold is at a dpi of 160. It's pretty tiny for my eyes at least. You can change the dpi in the rom toolbox app that's included.
If we are coming from another ROM do we just flash the multidpi fix or flash RC1 and then the fix?

I dont see why you would need the multi DPI fix if your not running a smaller DPI, the fix is just so the apps included in the fix can handle the DPI change.

Not Touchwiz that i know of....you will have to use another laucnher to fill the screen properly with a smaller DPI.
maybe if someone modded it i guess

4/17 - I've now updated it to a flashable zip, you get the S4 launcher and S4 weather widget
I love AOSP roms for the customizability and I also really like the touchwiz launcher so after many, many trials and errors and having to learn how to use apktool to decompile and build apk's i've modded the touchwiz launcher to work for AOSP roms. I know this isn't anything new since it's been done before, what makes this different is the homescreen is a 4x5 layout and the app drawer is 4x6 with a fully themed S4 Accuweather widget. I know a lot of you use custom launchers and this is not your cup of tea, this is for those who like the look of a stock launcher with a custom aosp rom.
The S4 weather widget really gave me a hard time, and because I was just learning it took me a very long time to get it to work but i've finally figured it out and it should work without any problems. Please note that in order to avoid a widget display problem I had to make the widget thumbnail in the app drawer transparent. It shows up just fine once you apply it.
I'll welcome any feedback and all I ask for is a thanks if you like it.
This should be compatible on any AOSP, CM10.1 based roms. I am personally using LiquidSmooth stable version.
Please make a backup and use at your own risk
Installation instructions:
Download Link
It's now flashable!
Copy to SD card
Flash in recovery
Reboot and enjoy!
Credit:
I'd like to give credit to dr30ma for the original s4 weather widget for the I9300 from which I ported over to work with our device. Also, thanks to Andybones for the universal flasher tool I used.

Can anyone who has successfully got this working try to see if the GS3 Touchwiz camera works? If part of the TW framework is installed, maybe some of the proprietary apps will work as well.

I'm not sure that it will as I have not tested it. I would assume no since I only edited the values that are relevant to our screen DPI but you should be able to test without any consequences. Report back if you decide to try it. Thanks.

S4 SecLauncher finished
Wasn't too bad porting the s4 launcher to work. I'm using a TW rom at this very moment so i'm unable to test it on an AOSP rom so if I have any volunteers i'll post the link to the launcher. If you've already installed the launcher from this post then you will just replace the SecLauncher2.apk in /system/app with this one. Rename your original something like SecLauncher.bak just in case you wanna go back to it you could just rename it back to original. This one also has a 4x5 homepage and a 4x6 menu layout.
Download Link
Don't forget to remove the "s4" from s4SecLauncher2.apk after you copy it over or else it won't work.
Apologies if this is a dumb question but will this give me the Touchwiz dialer or gesture control, like swiping with the hand to screenshot? I'm also using Liquidsmooth and those are the only things I really miss.

No, it just gives you the launcher and weather widget. Although I'm also on liquid smooth and I installed it like it says in the op, and whenever I try to open touchwiz it just forces close on me. Fixed permissions, cleared caches, still the same result.

I started getting force closes whenever I used the aosp messaging app or the aosp phone app..this was the case with the initial s3 launcher.

I know what's happening...I forgot to include the badgeprovider.apk which notifies you when you get a text and you'll keep getting force closes without it. I'll upload it here in a second. Just push it to /system/app and fix permissions, and reboot and you'll be good to go. I'll fix the original package and upload it seperately for you so you don't have to download the whole thing again.
Download BadgeProvider.apk
Almost forgot to mention, this will just fix the s3 launcher force closing not the s4 launcher. Still need time to figure it out the s4 launcher on AOSP, works fine in Touchwiz.
