[Q] Which ROM is best for my need? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I have a T-Mobile Note 3 Kitkat, rooted (trip KNOX) and I'm looking for a ROM that is:
- Light: No force close or need for release some memory every time I open a memory heavy app (read Tapped Out *blush*)
- No touchwiz, but still retain the S-pen function
- Button remap such that double press the home button or menu button opens the task switcher. The current long press is too long to be used efficiently. <-- the most important thing for me
- Open Google now with swipe from bottom (like the one on Xperia)
- Lock screen like the one on Xpreria too
- No bloatwares
- Simplistic theme
- 4.3 if possible
Anybody with good ROM suggestion? I am new with this stuff, the last time I modded my phone was with WM6.5 so bare with me.

how about the kitchen sink? lol... ok i can answer some but not all
android will release memory as it needs it. sometimes it might help to release some memory depending on what you're doing but its not a constant requirement.
S-pen is part of TouchWiz and its framework so unless you're running a TouchWiz rom you're not going to get it, but there's alternative apps you can use to get the same basic function
Button remaping can be done via xpose on most roms
custom roms dont include bloatware. its the whole point of running a custom rom
most roms are not themed to heavy and most are AOSP. so they're clean and simple.
you said you were on 4.4. did you upgrade your bootloader to the new one included in the 4.4 OTA update? if so then you cannot go back to 4.3 (as i have it understood)
hopefully some of this helps and if im wrong. with any of the above someone please chime in....

If you have updated to KitKat B/L, going back to 4.3 is no good. Sounds like you want an AOSP ROM but good luck finding one that is not buggy and have F/Cs. Or at least problems with texts/crackling sound/no NFC/ the list is long. Not sure why people want AOSP on a note 3, because TW is where your money is at on this device as far as functionality and Spen services. I have tried Hyper drive RLS2 and it has many of the things you are looking for. It is loaded down with mods, but is fast and no FC issues for me. With that said, I personally am a Tweaked Fan..... light, fast, basic where it needs to be and Wally is king **** with his themeing. NOT one single issue with the Beta release..... I'm not surprised, Dwith is a Alien sent to rewrite the ROM book. Give it a go..... my .02

Thank you guys for the advises and suggestions.
I am intrigued by Tweaked, but it appears that it's only for 4.3 devices? I'm not sure if my phone is qualified.

I updated to 4.4 via OTA and flashed my recovery (Philz 6.26.6) and downloaded Tweaked. No problems. Make sure you head to the tweaked thread in the General section and there is a link to the IRC. Just log in and D/L.

Thanks for the link. This looks clean and interesting.
Does this ROM have button remap (double press home or menu button press for app switch)?
Yes I am kind of tied to one app, but it's not really important. It's Puzzle and Dragons... with tweaked stats.

LOL! Fresh and looks professional. Thanks for sharing

Had slimkat for a while and it seemed stable enough. However I would get random reboots at times and some games freezing up on me. Also using s-pen features that are not the OEM ones would often times frustrate me (maybe a user error on my part, but the OEM TW one was easy).
Ended up going with Hyperdrive, I love it and TW isn't laggy at all. Will probably go back to slimkat as soon as they iron out a few more kinks.

[Q] Which MIUI should I install?

I want to see how good this ROM is but I saw MIUI 12.24 in the Development Forum but I also found a MIUI 1.1.7 linked within the same thread mentioned above.
Which one is the newest one and which one should I flash?
Thanks in advance.

Thats the newest one . Freaking Amazing. Built in themeing with a themebrowser, awesome launcher animation options, and when you go to the "recent apps " menu (by holding down home), and swiping your finger from left to right a search box comes up. Plus its built in SMS client is even better than handcent, with pop-ups and several other features. The music player has built in lyrics in its widget and is full of cool features. I could go on and on.
Out of all roms on Android, I think this is the most innovative and amazing. They really "push the envelope" adding new android features weekely.
no the 1.17 already comes with the english pack.
edit: actually the link above me, with the 1.14 or whatever theres a known universal problem with the rom..that when you make calls you cant be heard..they are trying to fix it..unless they already made another thread about the fix or something, cause i dont see it

Remapping Buttons Mod

Ok guys, I am new to any android evelopment but i now have some time on my hand before starting a job developing embedded linux sytems.
So im sure many people are aware of blubbers menu button mod to remove the ics menu buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506
basically ,me included, alot of other people want different combinations of the keys.
For example
Back: SP->Back
LP->Kill App
Home:SP->Home
LP->RecApps
RecApps: SP->Search
LP->Menu
with the introduction of aroma installer it allows different configurations.
So with the help of the rest of the community i would like to create a mod which allows users to select different cimbinations of short press and long press functions for each of the three buttons. Also add an option to disable the ics menu button if desired.
Anyone that can five me a help to get staryed on this, it owuld be appreciated.

cheers man i do remember reading you saying that a while back. However 'no offense' I do not want to install your rom. I would like to be able to have a mod that could allow this functionality on ANY rom.
however i might actually giver your rom a go. im on ARHD 4.0 (been busy with university recently to notice any uypdates) and your rom certainly seems alot better since i last looked at it.

Disclaimer: By using this rom you acknowledge and agree to the following: you know what you are doing and I do not offer this ROM with any type of warranty. I am not responsible for any bricks, or damage to your phone.
Hi, welcome to CapRom Turbo. The Turbo in the name is a street fighter 2 reference, as my Amaze ROM was CE, "Turbo" is the just next logical step in the nomenclature.
This is really a side hobby for me as I know this is derivative work. Please consider donating to the real devs! This ROM is just for fun until the real roms we're all waiting for are released.
Video: http://youtu.be/TeDXh9KaOZI << This is video of my Amaze ROM and not the SGS3 ROM but the installer looks the same.
Features - Customizable. You control your options.
Install options:
Launchers: Apex / Touchwiz / Trebuchet
AOSP replacements for Samsung apps (calculator, calendar, mail, MMS)
V6 Supercharger
ES File Explorer
Titanium Backup
Re-Bloat/reinstall some apps
Toggle2G to help with battery savings.
Battery % optional
Community:
Tell me what you guys want to see or add, and I will try my best, if appropriate, to accommodate your requests. Also, tell me what works, what doesn't, what is good, what isn't.
Notes:
I don't make any warranty as to how this will work for non Tmobile phones, so please don't inquire about it.
I highly recommend RomanBB's Adama 3 kernel. I'd include it but i am having problems with the kernel installation.
A kernel is not included, but you can install one immediately after the AROMA installer has completed its run.
Known Issues:
-Toggle2g requires root access and the phone process may occasionally stop. Just grant it access / hit wait.

I haven't come across any problems as of yet but I did just flash it so only time will tell. Thanks though Glad to see some touchwiz crap gone.
Nice Work!
I love the New ROM - the installer is very nice and I love all the options you offer - couple of odd things occurred - I opted to use the Touchwiz launcher - when i tried to change wall paper for home and lock screen - the only wallpapers you could choose for the Lock Screen were from the canned group of wall papers that come with the rom - on other roms and stock you can choose lock screen wallpaper from Gallery - it does let you choose home screen wall paper from other sources besides the stock wall paper - (I wonder did my choice of not wanting LIve Wall Papers effect this in some way?)
I also miss the Visual Voice Mail Ap - I was able to pull it from the redruM Rom with Root Explorer and push it into the Ap folder so no big deal

[ROM] [AOSP] [4.2.2] Perfect Android [MANTA]

This is a ROM based off of the Android Open Source Project that I'm maintaining for myself that I'm sharing with the community.
This ROM doesn't have any special features found in most ROM's, instead I am more focused on keeping this a "STOCK" open source alternative to the shipped firmware.
If you are looking for something that is more developed I would suggest CyanogenMOD, AOKP, TeamEOS, or ParaniodAndroid, that offers more.
THIS ROM IS NOT ROOTED:
There are 3 different root apps out there in the wild and in the spirit of keeping everything as open as possible I have chosen NOT to include root, also I don't need root for anything that I do.
THIS ROM IS ODEXED:
De-odexing a rom has many pros and cons to it, one of the pros being that any modification to any apk such as theming is easier since all of the parts and info would be in one place, the apk being modified. One of the cons of de-odexing is that apks would take longer to into memory and this takes a hit on performance, not anything that is major but one example is first boot after a flash takes way longer on de-odexed roms vs odexed roms. There are apps and scripts out there to run if you need to de-odex.
If you have an error or something pops up I ask that before you post about it please make sure that you are running the ROM as provided. I cannot troubleshoot anything that is related to using other kernels, mods, or themes.
Google Apps are NOT included:

Lots of random reboots. The last one I flashed would reboot while in a game, then wouldn't boot back up.
So far this seems great. My only issue is Mint isn't working. At all. I go to log in and it just sits there saying "Downloading data. This can take a couple minutes." Or something along those lines. Then it just sits there. When it does do something, it says "Unable to connect. Please check network connection."
I've cleared data, uninstalled, reinstalled, everything. But still won't work. No other apps are having issues with connectivity.
Any ideas on what it could be?

Sorry, totally forgot. Haha. I got home and tried, and it worked! So, it probably was what you said. Wouldn't have been the first time...
But it's working!
I'm getting a lot of reboots now. Several a day. This last one I was saving a video from the Play Store onto my tablet for offline viewing, screen off, and that was the only thing running. Then it just restarted. It also restarted while playing a game, The Simpsons game, and also browsing the web using Chrome.
I'm running yours completely stock, with no mods or anything.
Any plans to bring in aosp browser like you did for the nexus 4? Using this on the N4 and I plan to use it here for the the N10 too.
yeah I will waiting until 4.2.2 hits aosp before I update the rom

Hi there,
This update is running great, no reboot yet (fingers crossed).
I just have 2 "complaints" : reboot options on power menu and kill all on recent menu.
Cheers
Edit: one thing to add, my calendar is acting funky. Just one color for events and the events can only be seen on a widget. I used the latest gapps from goo.

Glad that this is running good for you, now about your complaints. I am not gonna add those "features" because to me it would be like google inventing the "notification pull down" then apple adding a "notification shade" and calling it innovative, those are common in almost every rom if I am gonna make something common I'd rather keep it pure but functional and not "keep up with the Jones'".
I do provide my source, if you want to build and cherry-pick whatever feature in that you want.
Cool, I respect that. Baking my own ROM is on my bucket list but grad school is too busy

[Q] S Pen features when rooted

Hi guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. Search brought up no answers for me.
l have a note 10.1 2014 WIFI only. l haven't rooted it yet though I am familiar with rooting from other devices.
Now, I absolutely hate touchwizz and would love to flash a stock android rom onto my tablet, however l am worried that removing touchwizz will disable any s pen features.
Could somebody please confirm if I will be able to use s pen with a custom rom or not? I've looked through a fair few threads and cannot find an answer.
thanks in advance.

Its the wifi only version (exynos chip?) anyhow i've rooted and installed twrp recovery now and backed up.
as for the rom, I'm looking for a complete stock android experience with S Pen features, looking through the rom section here I think I'll be going down the route of a cm11 based rom
Spen is not working with cm11. If you want spen, best bet is stick to TW rom.

I'm running Hyperdrive Rom with Nova launcher and all functionality with the spen is working fine. You might not like touchwiz on the stock Rom but on this Rom it flies.

DISCLAIMER: SPen feature(intrinsic functions)are only to the tip being precisely detected on the screen and the side button detection

This clarified lets answer the question; because this gimmicks\features are on TouchWiz and not on the SPen, if you take Touch-wiz out of the equation you will lose those functions but not necessarily the precise pen and the side button detection(which rely on the drivers been implemented correctly on the ROM and not on touchwiz itself).
Rooting the device doesn't affect which system you are running, only what privilege you have in it; so, Still TouchWiz=Gimmicks exist.
Now, if there are things you don't like about TouchWiz there are many ROMs based on it that try to fix many problems inherent to the system and thus you would still have TouchWiz features. On the other hand, if you want to install something like CyanogenMod, AOPK or OmniRom, you will trade Touchwiz gimmicks for those implemented on the ROM you chose(Different Rom, different gimmicks).
I would tell you to investigate which are the gimmicks you want before jumping ROMs. Read the post of every rom you would like to install before doing so.
Personally I couldn't care less for multiwindow or doubletap note gestures if the system stutters randomly and its dumbed down Samsung-style. Even with the great things guys here have achieved with Touchwiz framework(You are really doing great things guys :highfive i still feel like i am in an eternal battle using and controlling it; trying not to launch something i really didn't intended to, or praying for the system to do what i want when I want it to; it is not worth it for me. Touchwiz makes me feel awe but never lets me feel at home and comfortable with the environment. I prefer to install CM and feel the tablet like a nexus device with a nice Wacom pen than a colorfull collage of Touchwiz features. Again, this is my personal opinion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: SPen functioning(READ DISCLAIMER) is almost ready for the new cm ROMs for the wifi version. At this moment there are various cm bases ROMs with the SPen functioning only on landscape mode so if you use the SPen thoroughly for notes, drawings and stuff I recommend waiting a little bit more before making the jump, if you decided to go that way.
Greetings everyone, if possible I'd like to add one more question to this scenario.
I understand from the above that we lose the features from Touchwizz like the floating menu, however what about the general S-Pen functionality, like the 1024 levels of sensitivity?
In particular, I'd like to know if installing CM11 and Sketchbook and use it as efficiently as in a stock environment.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

It depends. If the ROM you want to install has the drivers and are correctly implemented(As in no Bugs), NO, you wont loose core functionality of the pen; Pen detection on the screen with its sensitivity, pen button detection, pen eraser and hover(and any combinations of those 4) are all driver based so they should all work on a ROM that implemented them.
As long as the not-touchwiz-based rom says that the pen works it means that those core functionality are indeed working, and if they dont, it is a bug.
The other aspect would be an outdated driver but i am sure the devs get what we already had on touchwiz and only port it or something, so i don't think we should worry about it.
Other aspect is that some apps like papyrus give you the option to use the pen's button as tool changer, item selector, and other stuff that could not be used on touchwiz because those gestures were taken by the system to open apps or action memo; so in a way, using CM gives you even better experience for 3rd party apps.
TL; DR If SPen drivers are in place you would have the same quality than on touchwiz for SPen Wacom core functionalities.
