Has anyone built a flashable zip file against the stock Tmobile 4.1.1 ROM to enable Pdroid use?
I used it on my old phone and would really like to get it on my Note2 as soon as possible.

It doesn't exist. The original PDroid worked with TW roms built on GB, but not on ICS and beyond. An auto-patcher is available for ICS and JB, but not for OEM skinned roms. I am running CM10 on my T889 and have PDroid working on it like a champ.
So you are using one of the nightly CM10 builds?
Last time I looked there were several things not working yet that I wasn't willing to give up.
I'm using madmack's AT&T CM10 26122012 build. Some have reported audio, BT, and lag, but not everybody is experiencing these issues.
Personally, I only experience the lag sometimes. It can be fixed by flashing the older kernel from the previous built, but that means giving up the exynos patch in the new kernel. I prefer security over minor inconvenience.
Anyway, the auto patcher has no problem working with this rom. If you decide to flash it, I can upload the patches I used from my computer.
Hmm...if I'm gonna have to go custom rom to use an existing patch I guess I might as well dump my stock rom and try patching it myself.
If someone wants to take a stab at this, TrevE just uploaded a PDroid port for the Verizon GS3 TouchWiz ROM.

More quality work from TrevE. He's the one that exposed CarrierIQ. I'd give it a try, but I can't go back to TW.
I do hope someone does take a stab at it as although I don't have any attatchment to TouchWiz, I don't think I could give up many of the s-pen functions and apps that, so far as I know, are only avalible when using TouchWiz.
It appears from the GSIII thread thst several people are working to port TrevE's TW-compatible version over to the Note2.

*BUMP* any news on pdroid for TW Roms?
ok, so im not new to android mods, rom flashing, kernel flashing or any of that jazz...
ive had many android devices over the years and will continue to have more as long as android doesnt flop.. but i doubt that happening
my issue is this, i have a bone stock TW rooted i317m on 4.1.2, it has been unlocked using the perso sha method, and has been modified to work with wind mobile in ontario via the .qcn file flash method... the device is operating just fine, no problems...
what i want from this device is customization and the question im asking hopefully will be answered with respect and NO newb bashing or ignorance
this is my first note based device... i fell in love with all the TW features that relate to the s-pen and best photo/best face.. i want to install custom rom, and kernel, but im afraid im going to lose all the feature that i bought the note for...
i know about the apps "CM S-Pen detection add-on" & "S-Pen Helper"
but i dont want to lose most importantly the camera features, and id like to still be able to use s-note and such, but im not sure if this is possible unless using a TW stock rom
any ideas??
there are tw based roms like clean rom, best international (using this one)
if you flash a aosp rom all the tw stuff is gone!
I personally dont use half the tw stuff so i might flash an aosp rom soon just for fun. But I have a galaxy nexus to play around with as well
ok so i flashed clean rom,
now my next question
is there a sphere mode camera mod available,
i really miss this from my galaxy nexus when it was running PA3+, i busted the lcd and glass,
got my note 2 now, and would love to see this come to it

Clean rom is real good if you just want a debloated version of stock. Real fast and stable. It was my daily driver for a while.
I am really into all the customization so I am running JEDI and NOVELLA now. Both are TW based and have a ton of MODs out for it.
As for the camera 4.2 is good too
Just retired my Tmobile S2 / Jedi Mind Trick and purchased a new Tmobile S3 LTE. Just rooted it and put on CWM.... Which ROMS have the following.
1.WiFi Calling and MMS
2.Good Battery Life
3.Silky Smooth and Lighting Quick
4.Plenty of Free Memory
5.Bloatware free
Thanks
All Roms based on the Samsung Touchwiz Framwork will support WiFi Calling. So try S3Rx by @enewman17 or StockMod by @saranhai. Eitheer way, I suggest flash KT747 Kernel for Touchwiz.
In my opinion, (and this can be debatable.) AOSP Roms have more free Ram and slightly better battery life. However they will never support WiFi calling. Let me know if you want to explore that.
I found this thread in search before asking the same question.
Not all touchwiz based ROMs support Wifi calling. Read posts 31 and 32 in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735506&page=4
I am having a hard time finding the best ROM for my needs. I have to have wifi calling. I have tried several, and really like the KitKat based AICP, but that doesn't do wifi calling, so I started looking for Touchwiz based ROMs, but can't find a good stable one that works well FOR ME.
To rephrase Perseus' statement, only Touchwiz roms based on T-Mobiles firmware will have wifi calling.

Yup. That makes it far more difficult to sort them out.
I am going to try out StockMOD Rom now.
Most TW roms are built from a tmobile base. If not it should specify [PORT] in the title and/or OP.

I can now confirm that wifi calling works on StockMOD.

Hi, I am new here to trying to figure out how to enable mobile hotspot/tethering and wifi calling with my SGH-T999L(t-mobile, prepaid 5GB data).
My phone(ver. 4.3) is rooted by Odin method with root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.tar.md5 file. And superSU(ver. 1.94) was automatically(?) installed during the rooting but never used it since. Anyway, this was my very first dealing with phone software; I have never experienced rooting/flashing before. Please bear with my ignorant terms and questions...
q1. Isn't there any reasonably safe ROM to enable tethering?
q2. Can I flash the custom ROM with Odin, same process as my rooting but just change the MD5 file?
q3. Do I need to configure my phone before or after the custom ROM flashing for tethering?
when I rooted, I did not make any recovery. I had no clue about Knox counter before and still don't know where and how to check Knox counter with my phone.. I have just followed YouTube "safe rooting methods for s3" without much knowledge. How lucky my phone is not a brick now!!
1. Any of the Custom AOSP Roms will have tether built in. If you want to keep stock Touchwiz, you will have to use some Tether app from Play store.
2. Yes and no. You first flash custom Recovery with Odin. Same process except different file. Then you flash custom roms (which are in zip format) via the custom Recovery. A custom Recovery is TWRP, CWM or Philz Touch.
3. Usually yes after the custom rom is up and running. Just a few click to turn it on or customize to your preferences. No Rocket science there.
Knox Counter or Warranty Bit is displayed when you put the phone in download mode. If its zero that means its not set. If its 1 then you tripped it.
Is there any Tmobile based TW ROM that has HALO? If not, is there a good add on or app for notifications? Halo was one of the things I really liked about AICP. It seems possible, as Slimbean says it doesn't include HALO by choice.
It seems that all the ASOP ROMs are KitKat. Since KitKat is on the way to Tmobile S3 at some point. When that happens, will it allow ASOP type ROMS with Wifi, or am I mixing up several concepts?
HALO is a feature introduced by AOKP Developer community. Hence it is found only in Roms that are based on that code base such as PAC MAN. Other ROMs particularly Stock touchwiz will never the feature as is. Samsung did introduce something similar called floating Notifications that some liked but most did not. They base on Google's code so the AOKP code will never make it into Samsung Stock. However, I do recall there was bounty on Verizon's forum for bringing HALO to Touchwiz. Don't know what happened to it. I don't use touchwiz.
Speaking of all these terms, you indeed are mixing quiet a few things. AOSP Roms, based either on Google's code or CM's code will never use anything from the AOKP fork. This is by design. If you want to know why, you will have to understand the difference between AOSP and AOKP. Google is your friend.
I recall Liquidsmooth at one point in the 4.3 code had introduced HALO. Don't know if it continued or not. I do know, with the significant code changes to Kitkat, these prior features are not working and the developers are working to port them over. Its a matter of time. Speaking of which, all Custom Roms do have a 4.3 variant. Its just that users want the latest and greatest so you won't see much discussion of the 4.3 now. But it sure does exist.
After you accept Stock Kitkat update, I am sure you can continue to flash custom Kitkat Roms. Who knows, they might have moved to Key Lime Pie by then. But I don't think I understood the question. Are you referring to the Tether or WiFi hotspot ?
I was referring to wifi caling. That is a make or break feature for me. I found a few ROMs that were head and shoulders above TW (FOR ME), but because of lots of steel and concrete structures in my AO I really need wifi calling. I looked into multiboot, but I would have to toggle back and forth too much to make it work.
Wi Fi calling can and only will work with Samsung's Stock Touchwiz. So since that's critical to you, I'd suggest sticking with the stock Rom and Root it if needed. Once Rooted you can remove the bloat to make it more viable. You can also use the KT747 Kernel for Touchwiz. That will allow you to get better battery life.
As to your HALO wish, I guess, you'd have to stick with floating notification and Multi Window features Samsung has. You could try some of the ports of Xposed frameworks. But be cautious to make sure it does not break something else.

Thank you very much. :good: Really sorry to bother you but more Qs..
1. When you say stock Touchwiz, does that mean the file I flashed for rooting? root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.tar.md5
I have also tried many Tether apps found from google store and none of them worked. They just brings me to T-mobile error message.
2. Beyond tethering, I also like to have WIFI calling function although wifi calling is not as important as tethering for me. Benz said StockMOD works for WIFI calling. So, I was thinking about to flash StockMOD for my custom ROM as long as it will also work for tethering... Do you know whether it works for tethering? If so, would you tell me where I can find StockMOD? By the way, is StockMOD a custom ROM?
3. Did I really screw up my phone warranty? Ouch,,, I have just checked the message on download mode of my phone. It says following:
product name: sgh-t999L
custom binary download: no
current binary:Samsung Official
System Status: custom
DualDomm Secure Boot: enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP Swrev: 1
Any unusual status you notice beyond warranty Bit? Is this saying my phone is rooted? Frankly, I am still not confident to say my phone is rooted.. AGain, thank you very much for your help.:good::good:
Touchwiz is the name of samsungs launcher and modifications they made on top of Android. So whem you see stock, tw, or touchwiz its referring to the official firmware from samsung. Touchwiz based, tmobile roms are the only ones with wifi calling.
The warranty bit is tripped. No way around this if you plan to flash anything anymore. But yes, your warranty is now void im afraid...

You already have the original rom rooted.
The best rooted rom would be the stock factory rom, best because it's stable and everything works.
There are custom roms but they have limitations compared to stock rooted. The first thing you loose is the WiFi calling and S-Pen features at the expense of some customization.
Some of these tweaks can be added by using xposed which has been moded for lollipop already while still keeping the added features that the Note 3 is known for like WiFi calling , Stylus pen etc.
I personally run stock/rooted with all the junkware that Samsung/T-Mobile added removed.
Phone works great with great battery life and with the added stability of the stock operating system.

The link for stock /rooted rom does not exist. For that reason no one will post a link.
Op didn't say what version or firmware was currently on phone, it's possible that root didn't allow ota for lollipop to install and KK is what they are running.
In this case you unroot and hookup to kies and get the lollipop update, root, custom recovery and debloat.
Whala, rooted stock lollipop rom.

I just came from verizon Galaxy s5 rooted and switched to t mobile Galaxy Note 3. I want to root but I have some questions. Do I need to do anything with the kernel? What are the benefits to changing the kernel and which one is best? What is the best touchwiz and non touchwiz rom? I have never been able to use a non touchwiz rom so I think I would like to find the best most customizable rom for the note 3. What is the best way to root my note 3? Please be patient with me. Also what recovery do I use? I only know safestrap with busybox and supersu. Any help learning all the roms, mods, and things I will need to know about t mobile note 3 would be great. I want to be able to root, flash, mod and tweak as well with my new phone as I was with my previous phone. Thanks for your help
