Beefed up security that bricks the phone, devs are having trouble getting past it.
if it ever gets sorted out maybe will see some development.
Pp.
It isn't about security, it's all about Exynos and the fact we have zero source code for it because Samsung won't hand it over for obvious reasons, without that source code it's relatively difficult to build roms. Some devs have done it but with the cost of it being painstakingly time consuming and with the resulting Roms being still buggy and relatively unstable. Which brings me to the assumption that because the s5 had development or other Samsung devices had good development you assumed this one would follow suit however most of Samsungs previous devices were using Qualcomms Snapdragon processors which Qualcomms been known to be good with supplying it's source code.

Guess that's why Apple has a reputation of just working.. Now I know why Samsung sales are slipping. I was told hope you didn't listen to the salesman, really? Does your elders listen to salesman when looking for a gift? Since Samsung is aware of it how hard it it to put a banner before the upgrade warning the new user? Now back to Apple there products work, sounds like a hit a forum that thinks bugs and bad QA is fine.. Keep your wallets open sheep, samsung loves you.

Well I think it's mainly to fix the bugs so when we do get JB we have no issues.

Why not just flash the update in stock recovery? You can use ota rootkeeper to protect root.
Also the pro version of mobile odin will flash any of the full fw releases as well as the otas, and it'll reinject root during the process. (Its now my preferred method)
Most people arent going to want to give you their nandroid. theres too much personal info on it. Even those like me who make one right after flashing will be very cautious about this. Theres almost always something in there that is easily forgotten to clear. You could get lucky and find someone willing to do it, just dont get your hopes up too much.

Hey doc got some questions for ya. I came to the gs3 from nexus s 4g. With the ns4g I could always just flash new ROMs and updates in cwm. It seems the process is a bit more complicated on gs3. I purchased mobile Odin, and I've used the PC version a couple of times, but I'm not that comfortable with it. First day I got my gs3 I flashed Mr. Robinson's root injected uvlah2 and just stuck with that. A couple nights ago I finally flashed a new radio and it has helped my signal. I want to make sure my phone is ready for the jb update so what would you suggest?

With this rom comes an aroma installer that lets you uninstall bloatware of upto 700mb!(i had over 25gb+ internal storage left) after getting rid of all bloat and this rom is smoking fast now! I should also mention that mattiadj's ext2internalsd mod works on Omega as well, i just used the galaxy s4 4.3 fat32.zip and now storages are swapped so all the large app data goes to extsd instead of internal storage.

Updated my earlier post, but you can flash any n9005 rom in this thread
a little bit out of topic but what are the advantages and disadvantages of flashing a rom that is not for our note? are there any risks other than the obvious "you are responsible for what you do to your device" or "warranty is now void" risks?
1. Advantages are more variety of roms to choose from, the international roms are updated a lot quicker than USA versions(because it was released over there first, I believe latest firmware over there is mj7). Some roms on the N9005 are pre-debloated for you (HAL room is 700mb rom! Omega has same slimness as HAL just got to choose what you want uninstalled/installed thru aroma).
2. Disadvantages, not many really as long as your only flashing the N9005 compatible LTE note 3 and not the incompatible N9000 (octocore exnyos).

Also, some of the features that the carrier offers are sometimes not supported, such as WiFi Calling.

so then i can download any n9005 rom and it will be compatible with n900t? and dirtybudha, how can we know if wifi or other features will work?
Wifi, bluetooth, gps, and nfc used to not work on international roms until the devs made that patch #2 which automagically patches all the above to work. But yea don't think tmobiles wifi calling will work on International roms.

It's a long known issue that WiFi calling won't work with ROMS developed outside of a T-Mobile ROM base. I'm not blessed with enough of an understanding of how it works, but ever since my HTC Vision (G2) I've read about WiFi calling not working on other ported or international ROMs.
Aside from that feature, everything else could technically work. Personally, I like the WiFi calling and prefer to maintain it on my phone's ROM.

Yeah wifi-calling will never work on international roms. Which is fine because wifi-calling causes more issues than it fixes. The majority of my calls get dropped and it breaks messaging more often than not. PITA.

For right now with the bootloader Knox issues, I'm sticking with 4.12 and using the the 4.3 MK7 radio. I've gone through them all and this
improved my signal and battery time significantly. More over, with this modem improvement, I've fallen in love again with my finely tuned
Jedi-x20 all over again. ptmr3, still my idol!!!
I also flashed the MK7 modem. Haven't really noticed a vast improvement..and it also didn't deliver some of my calls and went straight to vm. But hoping it makes a difference as its used more throughout the day. .
To all people having problems,
I personally had to flash the deodexed rom about 3 times before the problems got fixed. First time camera wasn't working but I read somewhere that when first on stock taker pictures and then update the kernel. Second it was super sluggish...barely moving. Third time everything worked fine and have yet to come across and problems.
Just remember to keep erasing cache and dalvik after every flash/step.

Man people, I'm sorry for all of you. I received it while using tweaked but could not flash it so I went back to stock image using Mobile odin and triangle away. After going complete stock I received the update again then went ahead and installed it using the stock recovery. I gave up root because I'm impatient and couldn't wait 24 hours until the rooted version came along and the only thing I miss is viper audio and cerebus. So I went the stock route and after it booted up, I signed in to my Google account and soon as the home screen came up I did a factory rest and haven't had 1 hiccup. The phone is fast as hell, the battery is about the same, my 4glte even seems faster than before when browsing using the stock browser, not chrome. The keyboard is great now as well as camera, and nothing bets the apps to sd. So in conclusion do a factory rest and forget about root IF you want all to run flawless. I'm sure there will be a way to regain root again. Happy flashing.......stock style.

Same here, love this rom. Better battery life, too. One issue I have is occasional reboots. But someone mentioned I have to format my ex SD card.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try this and see if it fixes the freeze ups.
So from what am seeing seems like we are stuck once again..... Samsung keeps making it impossible for us to flash without using the new bootloaders.... Seems like the guys on the 9505 already made a Flashable for 4.4.2 leak but if you are not on their latest bootloader wifi doesn't work...... & You know tmobile won't be giving us this update till probably the s6 comes out lol

Yeap from what I read we need the new bootloader to make WIFI works....... I hope everyone has the unlimitted data plan if they wanna use 4.4 lol
We had this issue before with 4.3. We fixed it. Im guessing we can fix this one too.

Any big difference between TW 4.3 vs TW 4.4.2 ?
I know that the 4.4.2 Google Edition Roms absolutely scream as far as real world performance goes. But somehow I doubt the TW 4.4.2 will offer a huge performance boost vs its earlier counterpart. Anyone have any insight into this?
@^ I recently checked some videos of the new kitkat update for the galaxy S4 on youtube and there isn't quite many changes. The only changes are some of the notification icons and also the settings now says 4.4.2, that's the only difference that I saw. There might be some performance boost on this update, but nothing really changed.

I believe u could activate Art instead of Delvik which is supposed to help a lot in performance..... dialer also searches from the Internet instead of just ur phone nothing 2 critical or worth losing any features over in my opinion

Yeah this was probably my first and last samsung device, they go ummph themselves.
Lets not forget emoji... finally 1 or 2 years late. I'm not a big fan but people send it in txts. So it's important to support it for me and my fam

It performs pretty well actually and it also has some big features like the new location settings, tap and pay working out of the box, printing without a third party app and they revamped some lock screen settings, keyboard, and also now has AUTO high touch sensitivity so now it can actually sense when you're wearing gloves ( which I have tested and works great)

Btw Wi-Fi should work with updated kernel not baseband, just like you can't flash i9505 kernel and get Wi-Fi...

I'm with you. I was disappointed to not see the Google caller id in the new build kinda upsetting

Can't wait...
See Portal, Samsung Pay won't work on Knox tripped devices.

Well that's a real shame, but unfortunately completely expected. You either get all the bloatware and poorly tuned stock software with working Samsung Pay or you get to customize everything with custom ROMs and kernels. I'll take the custom ROMs and kernels. Too bad, Samsung, you're not getting my purchase history to monetize.

with the of8 leak and package disabler, it's really not anywhere nearly as bad as you make it sound.

It doesn't seem as bad until you've tried a recent Unikernel build and experience the unrivaled smoothness that this device should have had from the beginning. I've been running OF8 since the day after Sunderwear put up the sideloadable update.zip and while it's much better than OF6, it just is a whole new level with Unikernel.

Not really. Nexus doesn't offer anything to lose out on such as Samsung Pay, etc. Either way, you don't get to use Samsung Pay .
