I am thinking about getting a Galaxy Note 3.
I am saying up front: I don't care about tripping Knox. All I want to do is root the phone, put the best bootloader on it, and install CM11.
What should I know prior to doing this, and are there any downsides?

Just do it and don't look back.
Only downside with CM11 (for me atleast) was the fact that sometimes it would feel a bit "glitchy" when scrolling. Also the replacements for s-pen and it's program isn't as easy and smooth to use as the ones that comes with TW.

You have CM11 currently on your device? If not, what ROM do you recommend?

I ran slimkat for a week on my phone before I switched over to hyperdrive. Slimkat just came out with an update so I may go back to that. Hyperdrive runs smooth for being TW, but my only gripe is that the rom (or TW) requires a whopping 6gb right off the bat whereas slimkat was only a few hundred MB.

6GB? That's ridiculously hilarious.

No, I think you're right. That's the Touchwiz OS. I remember people were complaining big time about that. How they bought 16GB versions and only got about half that because the OS takes up so much space.
Thanks for the input everyone. I bought the phone last night. It should be here by the weekend, and I'll start toying with it.
Good luck on your beast phone

I wanted to post this here for anyone out there who did not know this was available. Also for anyone like me who wanted to enjoy Google Now, but does not currently want to run Jellybean at this time. I installed this yesterday and it has been working flawlessly on my GNex running AOKP M6!

PS dont be worried, I know it looks a little naked. I just havn't gotten to setting up any cards, I've mainly been toying around with the voice search and learning the commands. But the cards are fully funtional, they were there after I installed the app, but I deleted them.
That is great and all but why on earth would you not be running JB right now? I can see other devices excited about this but we can have the whole package!

not sure how to answer this without sounding rude but...its my phone, i run what i want. sorry, not sure how else to word it.
if someone had a gun to my head and forced me to give an explanation other than that, it would be that I love AOKP, and i want to wait until there is an AOKP JB release.
ive never been one to run and grab the newest thing the second it hits the shelf (no pun intended). id rather sit back and wait until everything i want in a rom is available and stable. ive tried jellybean, i flashed it, explored it, and was not 100% satisfied with what it had to offer thus far, so i flashed back to aokp with which i am 100% satisfied. i certainly experiment with new things when they come out, but I love my phone and I will not sacrafice my personal experience just to be able to say that i have the newest thing. instead, i will hold strong, and monitor the new thing until im ready to run it on a daily basis.
hey, you asked :angel:

I dont run JB because AOKP Milestone 6 runs better/smoother than JB and has more tweaks implemented.
Hello everyone im getting way to much ram in use causing the phone to lack. If I reboot the running services are minimal and no lack but the running services start to pile up by themselves (example maps and why 2). Can someone compare there usage. Im stock unroot.
Thanks

With maps, in location services turn off wireless network locating and only use gps. Maps, when network locating is on, Maps issues crazy amounts ie thousands of kernel wakelocks.
You're not lagging due to RAM you're only using half of your memory.

It was low when I took the screen shot but I've seen it go up more than 1.2g. I only have about 10 apps install from the market as of now cause I just recently got the phone and planning on rooting.

You may be using 1.2gb of memory but your note2 has 1.75gb of usable ram. The stock ROM has about 100apks that qualify as bloat. Even at stock my n2 didn't noticeably lag.

Yeah theres alot of ram left but my phone starts lacking around 1.2. I just wanted to see if someone is experiencing the same. Guess ill root and remove bloat and see what happens.

Really, I'm stock unrooted since the release date and never experience any lag. I'm hesitant to root not because of no experience is because this phone is the only phone I've used that is super smooth while still rocking stock unroot.
I uninstalled my apps first and see if its one of them.
Performed a factory reset and now the ram looks normal and no lack. Thank you both for the feedback.
I'm curious because I feel like the tablet is running smoother but it could very well be my imagination. I'm going to be happy if battery life is somehow improved by the update.
Hopefully the chromecast crashing system UI bug
Edit; nope
Honestly?? I don't see any difference. I think peeps imagine things after an update.
I though the speed up was imaginary too so I did a post update video comparison with the tabPRO. Definitely sped up.

No question the update sped up touchwiz and massively improved wifi streaming.
Video streaming such as YouTube is MUCH faster.
According to GSam I've been getting another 30min screen on time per charge since the update. Not sure if it's attributable to the update. Wifi is definitely better.
WiFi improved. The micro stutter with touch wiz is obsolete. Keep up the good work Samsung.
Battery feels like it is lasting longer to me. Keyboard entry feels a little laggier though. Could be the browser.
After update I lost like 20 apps.
I'm already rooted so I don't get updates. What update version is it? And what is the date of the update.

I'm also getting this message.
Does it mean that if you are rooted you still can updates through Kies??

Short answer is yes. However, it will unroot your device whereby you will have to flash Beans cf_autoroot again.
Also Sammy may get knowledge that were rooted to start. Once you rooted, you tripped knox (thereby voiding your warranty) . We may get a way in the future to reset knox so that should you need service, you could flash back to stock and reset knox. With kies, sammy may record that knox was tripped and void your warranty, regardless of what you may do to it in the future.
Lastly, it will reinstall any bloat you may have deleted.
I went ahead and flashed it as I will be moving to Vietnam and nobody there ever checks knox, especially on top tier products.

I am seeing similar numbers on my new Note 7 on AT&T. So far the battery life blows for me, the set up is identical to my Nexus 6P except I have Google Now always on (launch from your voice regardless of whether the screen is on or off) turned off. All other apps are the same, sync is the same, etc. I'm hoping it's something simple or the phone just needs to settle in otherwise I'll go back to my 6P.

Tmobile here
Im guessing it still has the wifi calling bug from previous samsung phones
Good..so it's not just me. Android System is usually around 20% and now Android OS is around 20%. I am also on AT&T. Battery life has been pretty subpar in my opinion, so I'm hoping it settles in after awhile.

Yea, same here. I just tried wiping the cache partition, so we'll see if that makes a difference.

Still running Android 10, I have 3 OTA's saved on my device. 14.0.28_OTA_0280, 14.0.29_OTA_0290, 14.0.30_OTA_0300.
Can I run the latest or do i need to step through them all?
Sure, use oxygen updater app
Heh, Sure to which? Step through or not?

"Sure" to jump to Android 11.0.4.1
I did the 1st one and it killed speaker volume, suffered finger print reader, sluggish performance, auto dimmer. More I'm sure, can't remember it all.
I played hell and hoop jumping to get back to 10. There have been several releases. Are things OK now?

Thanks, Think I'll stay on 10, I don't see any celebrations about the 7t on 11. Almost got sucked into a Pixel 6P but a neghbor sent one back for heat and battery, a co-worker for crap finger print. Both of which installed updates.

Great words!!!
I experienced the same problems that's why rolled back to OOS10 and would never update even to OOS12 which is also not that good yet
I moved on to the 8t. Totally different phone, much better, got the max RAM. Much better call sound quality and reception. The only thing I miss is the better macro camera feature on the 7t.
