Note 3 neo modding doubts - Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title I would like to start modding for my device.
I would like to improve the performance of my n3n and "rooting" then try custom roms but i have no clear ideas with correct procedures and i ask your help on how to proceed step by step.
To flash the custom roms are the correct steps rights?
1 root
2 recovery
3 choice and flash of the rom
Bootloader for N3n is not contemplated in any thread, does it not necessary for this device?
For the rooting, flashing the recovery and trying different roms, is better start from Kitkat or Lollipop or there is no difference?
About the recovery:
What version of TWRP should i install?
Are there different versions for Kk or Lollipop of TWRP?
If i have installed TWRP on Kk can i flash rom for Lollipop or vice versa?
I misunderstood or for some "roms" do i have to flash lollipop firmware and for others kitkat firmware?
What are the best roms for:
stability and updated, performance optimization and power reserve, high customizzazion with many functions, modern look in Marshmallow or at least Lollipop style? .....i ask to much i know
My device info: Note 3 neo (N7505) with kitkat 4.4.2
I have many apps installed third-party (50) I know are too many but most are hibernated with greenefy (free).
Disabled functions:
synchronizations

You have kanged Jamison904 and Mr. Impossible's Alpha rom, the Omega rom, and also copy and pasted my OP. Also the way you did the rom will give the users a hardbrick! The mods need to definitely close this thread and all of your other threads.

This is true, with great dedication you can create your own rom...kanged or not if you want to develop you have to make sure the rom you ask people to flash and test...does not harm their phone. Number one rule of posting a rom: Make sure it does not break the users phone.
Is true what u wrote I have i9505 and I'm using what I posted with few improved things like sound kernel and appd

@Laurentiu27 Please review the rules of XDA. Specifically this.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Which Apps Safe to Remove? Trying to get close to vanilla Android.

Trying to clean all the sony bloat out of this phone while still having core functionality (camera working 100% etc)... is there a list of all the apps that are safe to remove (via titanium backup) from the stock rom?
I was going to just flash an AOSP or CM11 rom to go vanilla but I have read that the camera suffers and you still have the stability issues
Any advice from someone who is running a "clean" z1 compact?

Well, there's not much Sony bloat on the phone, it's not a Samsung or HTC. I prefer the Sony calendar to the stock Google one, for example.
Also if you don't want to use the Sony picture app you can get rid of Album and just keep Photos. Similar is true for Walkman vs Play Music (I kept both).
Then you can get rid of Playstation apps and TrackID (you can use Shazam if you want). I'd leave it at that.
You may want to check munjenis rom and the corresponding debloater in post #3.

great,so we have to flash twice if we need the chinese stuff?
Thx for new update
Factory reset, clean install , everything works great it seems, but not security center, vwhen setting apps to startup, eg. Apex, kernel tweaker, sidebar, etc. Nothing get granted super user at boot, even though super su 2..16 is updated, and su working fine else! ?
Tried copy su xbin to bin like before but makes no difference, nothing starts up?
But it's definiatly smoother and faster overall, than previous version
Any idea what to do about autostart?
Nice job The new rights management allow unified partition?
Thanks a lot for sharing. Found few bugs.
1) Not able to change the lockscreen wallpaper
2)double tapping on the home button to lock the screen doesnt work.
3)not able to use the blur effect on the home screen wallpaper
Liked the new camera app, it looks cool waiting for a bug free version
Would the camera app from this work on the international 4.4 rom?
If yes, then could someone post the apk? I would love to try it out. Thanks.

But try yourself, dl zip copy it from system/app folder to your own system and see !
Will test this later. I tested the other repack on OPPO forum but there were 3 issues.
Supersu don't work.. Need kinguser
Need to add prefix to telephone number for sms to be recognized
Switchr app doesn't work!
With this one I had endless FC's of Google Play Services...did two clean installs always ended in FC-loop. With the other repack from Oppo forum SuperSU works for me, didn't flash Kingroot.

I guess the pa gaaps nano is not compatible with chinese kitkat Cos. I will test if the google apks from Cos kitkat international if it will work.
1. "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" - I can't make calls with this repack (X9006). (If you have this problem you can make calls via the Contacts app or a different Dial app)
2. Camera - The only mode available for me is Normal, when I click Add only a blank Plugin Playstore window opens up - I can't download any other modes...
-------- SOLVED: Install APKs from this post: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/coloros-kitkat-ota-33-gapps-11-01.22048/page-5#post-292285
-------- or go to system/reserve and install the apk files from there..
3. Camera - Voice Shot is not working
4. Google Location service and GPS causes "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" error message to appear over and over again - it literally blocks you from doing anything with the phone.
5. Security Center - App Encryption is not working - if you encrypt/decrypt any app it does not get saved - it stays encrypted or not encrypted.
6. YouTube is bugged - you cannot play any video

Getting Samsung apps on a custom ROM

I recently installed a custom 6.0.1 ROM (CM13-based Mokee, which is rooted) on my old Galaxy Note 2. I find that I'm really missing some of the Samsung apps (like their email, camera & locker) for which I can't find acceptable alternatives in the Google Play store. Is there a way to get access to the Samsung Galaxy Apps store from my custom ROM so that I can install some of the apps that I used to have before my (ahem) "upgrade?"
AFAIK no, there is no way to get the proprietary apps from stock Touchwiz over to a CM/AOSP based ROM, especially considering you would be using apps from Kitkat Touchwiz on CM/AOSP Marshmallow. They just have too many dependencies baked into the stock ROM other than just having the APK. The only thing you could try: go back to rooted OH3, Titanium Backup (or similar) the apps you desire, then when you go back to Mokee try to restore them. With 95% certainty I would say they won't work. If you heavily rely on the touchwiz apps then go back to OH3, root it, put on xposed framework and Wanam xposed and you will have a decent amount of customization while retaining the stock apps.

[Mod] [7.1+] [Flashabe ZIP] Restore Removed/Replaced Stock Sony Apps

Well, I recently got an Xperia X and something that annoyed me was that a lot of the exclusive apps and features from Sony which previous Xperia phones had built-in simply got replaced or removed for no reason after the X series, so, with some effort, I managed to get some of them back by extracting the relevant files from previous Xperia devices which still have the apps, and decided to share a flashable ZIP for anyone else which also miss those apps and features...
Overview
This flashable ZIP will:
• Bring back Multi Camera and AR Mask camera add-ons
• Bring back the Screen Recording app (accessible from the power menu)
• Bring back Clear Phase and xLOUD sound enhancements (accessible from audio settings)
• Bring back the Podcast app (accessible from the side menu of Sony Music/Walkman app)
• Replace SwiftKey with Xperia Keyboard (including its online sync and Gmail/SMS learning features)
• Replace Google Calendar with Xperia Calendar (including its "Tasks" feature which used to be a separate app but now are built into the main app)
Requirements
• Some way of flashing ZIP files (TWRP recovery preferably, but app solutions like Flashfire should work too)
• Your phone must be running a stock ROM based on Nougat 7.1 or newer (security patch or whether your ROM is odexed or deodexed doesn't matter)
• This ZIP file was tested only on Xperia X, but theoretically it should work fine on X Compact, X Performance and XZ too as long as they're running a stock ROM based on Nougat 7.1
Instructions
You just need to download and flash the ZIP file available below. After rebooting your phone, you can check the results by yourself.
Download from MEGA (56.5 MB)
MediaFire mirror
is there any posibility to install the apps without root????

AFAIK, no, except for Xperia Keyboard and Xperia Calendar as they're published on Play Store, but installing them as user apps wouldn't provide full functionality. The other applications normally ships only on stock firmware of the Z series and come odexed, so those apps won't install normally after deodexing, which is a hard requirement to make them work on another phone...
I have not much to say and even just bringing back the screen recording could have made me happy. Yet, you brought all of the excluded features. Thank you.

Not all of the excluded features, but most of them. I really miss Intelligent Rotation (all phones from Z series except Z5 and its variations have it) and even through we have native split screen, I also miss the Small Apps (especially Active Clipper and the floating calculator). I even tinkered with them for a while, it's definitely possible to bring them back by porting from Z5 or Z3+, for example (which are both on Nougat and still have them) but they would require messing with the framework files and thus, would remain locked to a specific ROM version, so at least for now I gave up, especially since Xperia X receive updated firmwares fairly often...
Does your zip file work on stock 8.0 OS? Do you know why there is no headphone selection feature for all X series. Why did Sony removed them? I found an sony headphone selection apk file and Installed it on my Xperia X stock 8.0 OS but it's not showing up in audio settings.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/rom-xperia-x-dualf5122f5121-t3843430
As those are the stock apps, without any modification, pulled straight from the last Nougat firmware for Z5 series, I highly doubt they'll work on anything but stock (or stock based) ROMs. You might find some actual ports of those apps in Sony Cross-Device Themes and Apps subforum, though...
