I have a TMobile Note 3 with 4.3 rooted using RDLV with KNOX 0x0. I am tired of the stock ROM and I want to switch to CM11. Here are my questions:
1) What's the difference between hlte and htletmo versions?
2) Can I use the htle version since it is being updated more often?
2) I came to Note 3 from an S3. It looks like there were more CM stable versions for S3 and Note 3 only ever has had night-lies..why is that?
3) With reference to the question above, How will that affect development of future versions of CM?
4) Will T Mobile's wifi calling work with CM11?
5) If not, which ROM would it work with and is it safe to use that ROM?
6) Which is the most maintained/updated/used ROM for Note 3 apart from CM11?
Thanks
PS: I have gone through the forums to the best of my abilities to find answers. Please forgive me if I missed one and don't forget to point me to the thread with the answer

I've been pouring through various forums concerning the hlte and hltexx, etc stuff. and have found no definitive answers either..
I'm new to the note as well coming from a string of other devices, honestly this stuff is kind of a headache.
I still haven't found anything very useful.. but what i've gathered is that hltexx seems to be the most common thing across ROMs that should work on our tmo variant..
but if you read this: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/unified-builds you'll see that we will have to flash hlte versions, at least for CM.
Seeing as you want to flash CM, you'll probably be okay flashing the hlte version.
I have no idea if that's a CM specific thing or if it's being adopted across the board by various devs..
it seems that no matter what you do, it might require editing out the device check line from the updater-script,
just like from some ROMs for the S3 (haven't used that phone in a long time, though, so don't think that's a current issue, anymore.)
aside from that, I can't answer any of your other questions, as I haven't flashed any custom ROMs for this device, yet.
but, if this phone is like any other tmo phone, you'll lose wi-fi calling if you switch to any ROM that is NOT based on the stock ROM that was shipped with the device.
i.e. no AOSP or CM based ROM will have wi-fi calling. there are always alternatives to wi-fi calling though.
Thanks for the answer.

1) HLTETMO are the old non-unified builds. HLTE builds are "unified," and will work across networks, as far as I understand it. What this does is get more developers on the project for everybody since these devices--aside from very minor differences (I'd imagine the RIL, but I could be wrong) between Note3 devices.
2) Yes. Use the HLTE version. I'm pretty sure HLTETMO is dead...and that's a good thing. Things were a little buggier at first for the unified builds, but, they have gotten much better much faster and are currently better than the last TMO builds.
2) See above
3) See above...I can only speculate but I imagine that will concentrate the developer pool that works on devices. Instead of 4 (or more) disparate HLTE (or whatever device) teams of devs they will now all work together. That can only help things along. Again, only speculation. Time will tell.
4) I, personally, don't care about that feature but I do recall seeing some HOWTOs on WiFi calling on CM. But I highly doubt that will ever become a part of the build. That's not a concern of CM. They have enough things to worry about.
5) I'm an AOSP only kinda guy so I don't actually know, but, I'd imagine any TW based ROM will work fine with WiFi calling.
6) See #5. I wish I could help you out on this one, but, I can't. I'm an AOSP only kinda guy. The first thing I did when I got my $700+ phone home was invalidate the warranty. Knox? Pffft, whatever. Right now I can assure you that CM11 is in a highly developed form. It is daily driver status, IMHO. All the major stuff works and works well...and performance is top notch...especially with the ART (Android Run Time....screw Dalvik). Battery life isn't as good as TW roms, but, it isn't far off. The only thing missing is S-Pen features, but, there is another thread around here that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to recreate the utility of the stock S-Pen features.

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.
Hi, a nearly noob question.
I have Galaxy S33 T999L with SlimKat, android 4.4.4, baseband AMB7, but I believe it doesn't have Wifi calling. I use Teamwin v2.8.4.0 recovery.
I am looking for any good stable ROMs that are:
1. Android 4.3 or 4.4 with 4.4 preferred
2. Wifi calling build-in
3. App Ops provided, OPTIONAL, (for permission control on apps)
4. As lean as possible, but useful features are welcome
Some of the threads are over 3 pages here I did jump thru a few, still kind of lost since these threads started in 2012.
This is my back up phone returning from a loan to a friend. I am not using it now (no SIM inside), just trying to UP this phone before I can reuse it again (Been using Avant for a few months now).
I would appreciate anyone can post a link, or share some advice on which ROMs you would recommend. Many thanks,

For wifi calling to work you will need to stick to stock based ROMs so eliminate all others and then try out a couple of those to see if they have what you are looking for.
Hello everyone:
I am a new (used) Galaxy Note 3 owner. I bought an LG G2 3 weeks or so ago, spent that 3 weeks studying, rooting, installing recovery and finally installing and tweaking Cloudy G2 ROM. Just as I got my G2 running flawlessly it slipped from my shirt pocket as I was grilling, bounced off the grill and landed face down on the car port thus smashing the screen to pieces. :crying: What a waste of time installing that cheap screen protector the previous evening.
Anyway, I found a great deal on a used Note 3 so I went ahead and bought that rather than another G2. So now, I need to update my Note 3 just like I did the G2. Since I am running short on time at the moment I just want to get some ideas on where to start. I do intend to read everything I can on XDA but some helpful tips would really assist me with getting this finished sooner rather than later.
So....Right now the phone has stock 4.4.2 loaded and the knox counter is not tripped.
Baseband version is:N900TUVUCNB4
Security Software Version is:MDF v1.0 Release 2.
I am not at all familiar with this security stuff so any tips here on what exactly this is would be most appreciated.
My goal is:
1. root the device
2. install recovery prefer twrp but cwm will do if necessary
3. install a good ROM (Preferably Lollipop based ROM)
4. I would like to have xPosed Framework support too if possible. Of course this depends on the ROM I presume.
I have heard that Samsung Note 3 is a real bear to root. Also that the Odin software can be dangerous. I have no idea if this is true or not so please help me here.
I was also wondering whether it would be best to root the phone while on KitKat, or upgrade to stock lollipop first and then start the root/recovery process.
I'd really really appreciate all the help I can get from anyone that has owned a note 3 and has already been all through this process.
Thanks...Olin
Oh well, no replies? Man this Samsung device is rather overwhelming what with all the various scenarios. I am thinking of going with temasek's Unofficial CM12.1, or DOMPOP, or maybe Darklord. But I am still completely unsure whether to upgrade to stock Lollipop before I start on the root/recovery/ROM project. I also need to read everything I can find on these 3 roms.
But please, if you have any comments on which of these 3 ROMS is the best for the note 3 and/or comments on the best root/recovery method then by all means point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much for any help at all.
people just aren't as helpful around here as they used to be. Either that or not many use the note 3 anymore. But nevermind I figured it out anyway as I knew I eventually would.
Hey!
I'm sort of in the same boat as you..
would appreciate some feed back see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/help/nexus-4-to-note-3-questions-t3173473
Not sure if my jelly bean note is at its peak performance now.. it performs so well but i wanna upgrade for the sake of upgrading

Hey Beegbear:
I have decided to stay with KitKat for now because of the fact you can't use the xPosed framework on Lollipop and the fact KitKat is just a more stable platform and has many more Roms available. I used this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765014
to get my Note 3 on the newest stock KitKat rom, then root it, then install the latest TWRP recovery. I carefully followed the exact steps in this guide except that I did use a newer TWRP recovery I downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/twrp-2.8.7.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Other than using this newer TWRP I went step by step through this guide. I still plan on installing a custom KitKat rom but right now I am researching various roms to try and decide which one. But at least I have latest stock, root, and a good recovery right now.
I'd start with Tweaked. A flawless TW KK ROM. Only if unsatisfied would I bother with LP. Apparently the developer is working on an LP variant, but we'll see. He releases long after others, due to commitments, but well worth the wait. There is an xposed for LP available, but carefully research what modules work with it and compare to what you want.

Thanks a lot. You caught me just before I was about to install Hyperdrive N3 RLS7.1. I'd like to ask you what you think of this ROM?
And as for tweaked, I have come across two possible versions of a "tweaked" ROM. Tweaked ROM [Material L Theme] and TweakedN3 v3.x. Are these actually the same ROM? I'm looking around but still am not sure on this.
Thanks for your reply.
Olin
Well I "think" I have it figured out and I am in fact going to go with the Tweaked ROM, basic install procedure. Thanks so much for your advice ytj87 - I would have installed that other ROM if I had not seen your post. I may do that down the road anyway but I intend to give Tweaked a thorough test before I do. It looks great and based on forum info it seems less buggy than most of the other roms I researched.
Olin
Will probably come down to the experience you want. Tweaked is more stock with an emphasis on stability. I haven't used Hyperdrive, but when you see a ROM like that which integrates something other than the Note 3 TW UI, you're more likely to see glitches. It's the same NF9 base, though, and it has been around a while, and it looks interesting, so at some point give it a shot if curious. I personally prefer the Note 3 original UI to the S5's, so I probably won't try it.
TweakedN3 3.95. The LP themed one I haven't used.
Hi! I just recently got a Galaxy S3 t999 to replace my old phone. It came with Jellybean 4.3 so I had some problems unlocking the SIM. Anyways, I want to install another ROM since I don't really like the one it came with (for some reason some apps keep crashing). I've been checking on the ROMs on this forum and there are many, so many in fact idk what to pick. I just want three things from my ROM:
1. To keep the "screen mirroring" function.
2. To avoid locking my SIM again (I don't really know if flashing a ROM can affect that, which is why I am asking).
3. A somewhat stable release. I don't really plan on getting experimental with my phone, I just want it working properly.
Which one would you recommend based on those points? I hope someone can answer my question and thank you for your time!
My Note 2 is still my only phone since it was purchased many years ago and have stayed with android 4.3. Unfortunately, hardly any apps are compatible anymore so flashing is the only way to continue using my phone. I want to avoid bricking my phone so I would appreciate answers to some questions.
I have model sgh-i317. It appears from what I've read that N7105 roms are compatible, but N7100 roms are not? Also, there are roms which state tolteatt. Which roms are compatible with my device?
It seems a lot of roms are also now EOL. I need suggestions for a nougat rom that is stable and preferably based on touchwiz as I guess it is the only way the s pen continues to work? Or compatible with add-on apps, GMD etc? If possible, I would really like to continue using my
s pen.
Are there any other integral issues that do not work/disappear when you flash/upgrade from 4.3 to nougat? I know there is variability depending on the rom, but I just need to know if any other major thing is going to change. I have been unable to find this information.
Is there a way to continue to use Samsung calendar as I'm assuming gapps is going to replace it with Google calendar?
I just want to be able to continue using my note 2 for as long as possible. Obviously no one can know for sure, but those who have been doing this for a while would be more likely to know which roms/developers are more likely to continue to be supported.
I know people are apprehensive about suggesting roms, because it's based on personal preference, but I would really appreciate suggestions just so I can continue to use my phone, and if possible keep the features as close as possible to 4.3 though I realize many features will be changed/different. If that's not possible, I understand.
Just recommendations for the top 3 most stable/popular roms that have the least amount of battery drainage compatible with my device would be really helpful.
Can someone please just confirm the correct roms for my sgh-i317 device. N7100, N7105, and/or tolteatt?
Rom help!
Can someone please help me to be able to continue to use my Note 2? It is extremely difficult to find information as everything is being abandoned and I can't even view certain things on xda even with desktop mode. Just need a link to 1 rom for sgh-i317, tolte/N7105, that a person has used and knows is stable based on touchwiz/probably marshmallow so s-pen works. I would really appreciate it.
Tolte roms are what you want. TouchWiz roms only go up to kit Kat 4.4.4. If you need a newer version of Android, you will have to give up TouchWiz. You will lose some spen functions and mhl tv-out.
Need a link
Do you know where I can find a marshmallow rom that is stable and has any spen functionality?

I too am searching for a rom for my device as well and everything is pretty abandoned... I found a few when I used google search but their download link dont work.
I also have the I317 and didnt care to upgrade the OS to a custom ROM cos everything worked fine on it b4 but now some apps are not just compatible any more so a ROM upgrade will be better to give it more life time.
I'll let you know (with links) once I find one that works.
Take care.
Cheers.
Thanks!
I would really appreciate that!

I found the Resurrection Remix OS 5.8.5 based on Lineage OS 14.1/Android 7.1.1. it's pretty smooth and I've found no bugs for now.
It's for Galaxy Note 2 N7105 but works fine on my At&t Note 2. Below is the link to it's XDA page then you can download from there.
