How has Marshmallow been working on the Note 4? I am still on 5.1.1, and have been putting off upgrading to see how it's been. Any issues that would prevent me from having a good experience upgrading?
I'm liking 6.0 with Grace Rom and xceed kernel...I had problems initially due to user error...I didn't wipe after install correctly...after I fixed that it's been really good. I like the look and speed of Grace a lot.
Edit...Damn spell check

Did the G3 even get 4.4.4 ?
Just searched for the term 4.4.4 but not a lot showed up in the results. Not had this G3 long, still not sure I even like it after coming from a Nexus 4 with 2 years trouble-free usage, the lag from this G3 occasionally annoys me and I feel like going back to my Nexus 4.
This is, I value xposed framework, app compatibility, and stability more than just having the latest thing. Lollipop isn't bad, chupa chups(?) Is great but not enough to give up the above.
Another thing, I still don't have any updates showing up in software updates, on 4.4.2 UK 855 G3 on 3 network, only LG ones.
So, are there any decent 4.4.4 ROMs? And would a dirty flash over 4.4.2 be OK?
Many thanks for any help.
John.
There are, as of now, no stock or custom 4.4.4 based ROMs. LG skipped 4.4.4 and went from 4.2.2(or 4.4.2, please correct me if I'm wrong)->5.0.
Went straight from 4.4.2 to 5.0
Theres the cloudyg3 rom (the previous version of the rom is kitkat) but with no further development since it went to lollipop.
You have to go with the upgrades ,i dont like myself LL but we have to move forward
I appreciate that we cannot dwell in the past but Lollipop on G3 just ain't ready for primetime, and could be many updates away from getting there. Kitkit runs better than most admit, has the best compatibility, best battery life, and has xposed.
With some tweaks, scripts installed such as the mem script, and lots of bloat removed or disabled, KitKat runs really well. And I believe there can be more done to it, more tweaks, more bloat disabled - I still see quite a few apps running that could possibly be removed.
Salutations! Im wondering if it is a good idea for me to upgrade to Lolipop on the galaxy Tab S T800. Right now I am running stock rom, only because I still havent figured out how to get some good custom roms on my the device. My biggest concern though in upgrading is losing the ability to be able to use customs roms in the future if i choose to do so. I am still frustrated for updating my Galaxy s4 and having to use safestrap and being limited with which roms I could install. Is this a similar situation, that I will face if I do the upgrade. Also I havent found any good youtube vids walking me through how to get some good customs roms on the tab S.
Kind Regards!
Not much roms makers this days for our devices. Well IMO its ok to update to lollipop because the Rom is smooth makes everything snappy. As said in the thread there were those who are able to downgrade back to kitkat for some reason, so your bootloader wont be locked. And just wait lollipop roms will pop out soon
Ok,
I have a question that I am embarrassed to ask, because I feel like I should have been able to just do the research myself... (I am a newb... but not a complete newb!) ....
But after spending most of the day ( over 5 hours...) I am just frustrated and confused.... so I figured I would admit my ignorance, and ask for advice. (PLEASE.. if this is the wrong place to post this, please tell me where to do so.. I do not want to spam a bunch of different thread so I am only posting here, unless told to go elsewhere....)
I have an unlocked and rooted tmoble Note 3 (love it!!!).
Currently Using wicked rom
Details:
Android version 4.3
Baseband ver N900TUVUBMI7

SO.. when i got my note 3 a while ago, I unlocked/rooted/ROM'd it.. with wicked rom... which I love!!!
... but recently I have been having issues with my phone... and I have noticed that "wicked" does not have any updates or even any posts in its thread in the last 2 years.
My issues have been occasional random reboots, the GPS getting flaky, as well as random notifications about various apps no longer working .
I attribute some of these issues to when my battery ran low... and died during a reboot... (seems to have started after that).
So my question: I would like to do a clean re-install... and need to figure out what ROM is best for me. I keep seeing roms that LOOK awesome.. but then as I read there threads, see things like "hotspot does not work" etc....
What I NEED:
1)Working hot spot !(prefer it does not report usage)
2) Prefer touchwiz (Still learning the stylus... but that what makes the note a note!!)
3) WORKING GPS
4) STABLE
Would LIKE:
1) No bloatware!
2) Not report hotspot usage to carrier
3) Simple instruction to install (and be told about updates!)
4) Ability to record calls would be nice (saw that on one ROM.. looks cool)
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start?
I am now using android 4.3 ... should I upgrade that before or after installing a new ROM?
I would just re-install wicked .. but I worry that it is not staying compatible with the updates??
Any help is appreciated....

I am on the same baseband and have also been on Wicked, as well as DarthStalker and Hyperdrive. All are good and all seem to have similar issues. I'm also looking to flash something new and am noticing the same things you are. Unfortunately I think the roms I mentioned seem to be the most stable and complete unless you are willing to give up TW and the pen features. If you don't mind that then CM Is an option or also AOKP. I was on the AOKP for a while and liked it but I am a TW fan so I went back. I think Hyperdrive is probably the best of them. I have only had rebooting issues when using data. (I also had the same issue on DarthStalker and Wicked) so for now to get the features you want I would suggest Hyperdrive until they get all the bugs out of Lollypop. Plus you will also have to update your baseband before moving on to L. I am about to update mine and try out the DomPop rom. I'll retort back and let you know what I think.
Hello everyone:
I am a new (used) Galaxy Note 3 owner. I bought an LG G2 3 weeks or so ago, spent that 3 weeks studying, rooting, installing recovery and finally installing and tweaking Cloudy G2 ROM. Just as I got my G2 running flawlessly it slipped from my shirt pocket as I was grilling, bounced off the grill and landed face down on the car port thus smashing the screen to pieces. :crying: What a waste of time installing that cheap screen protector the previous evening.
Anyway, I found a great deal on a used Note 3 so I went ahead and bought that rather than another G2. So now, I need to update my Note 3 just like I did the G2. Since I am running short on time at the moment I just want to get some ideas on where to start. I do intend to read everything I can on XDA but some helpful tips would really assist me with getting this finished sooner rather than later.
So....Right now the phone has stock 4.4.2 loaded and the knox counter is not tripped.
Baseband version is:N900TUVUCNB4
Security Software Version is:MDF v1.0 Release 2.
I am not at all familiar with this security stuff so any tips here on what exactly this is would be most appreciated.
My goal is:
1. root the device
2. install recovery prefer twrp but cwm will do if necessary
3. install a good ROM (Preferably Lollipop based ROM)
4. I would like to have xPosed Framework support too if possible. Of course this depends on the ROM I presume.
I have heard that Samsung Note 3 is a real bear to root. Also that the Odin software can be dangerous. I have no idea if this is true or not so please help me here.
I was also wondering whether it would be best to root the phone while on KitKat, or upgrade to stock lollipop first and then start the root/recovery process.
I'd really really appreciate all the help I can get from anyone that has owned a note 3 and has already been all through this process.
Thanks...Olin
Oh well, no replies? Man this Samsung device is rather overwhelming what with all the various scenarios. I am thinking of going with temasek's Unofficial CM12.1, or DOMPOP, or maybe Darklord. But I am still completely unsure whether to upgrade to stock Lollipop before I start on the root/recovery/ROM project. I also need to read everything I can find on these 3 roms.
But please, if you have any comments on which of these 3 ROMS is the best for the note 3 and/or comments on the best root/recovery method then by all means point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much for any help at all.
people just aren't as helpful around here as they used to be. Either that or not many use the note 3 anymore. But nevermind I figured it out anyway as I knew I eventually would.

Hey Beegbear:
I have decided to stay with KitKat for now because of the fact you can't use the xPosed framework on Lollipop and the fact KitKat is just a more stable platform and has many more Roms available. I used this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765014
to get my Note 3 on the newest stock KitKat rom, then root it, then install the latest TWRP recovery. I carefully followed the exact steps in this guide except that I did use a newer TWRP recovery I downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/twrp-2.8.7.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Other than using this newer TWRP I went step by step through this guide. I still plan on installing a custom KitKat rom but right now I am researching various roms to try and decide which one. But at least I have latest stock, root, and a good recovery right now.
I'd start with Tweaked. A flawless TW KK ROM. Only if unsatisfied would I bother with LP. Apparently the developer is working on an LP variant, but we'll see. He releases long after others, due to commitments, but well worth the wait. There is an xposed for LP available, but carefully research what modules work with it and compare to what you want.

Thanks a lot. You caught me just before I was about to install Hyperdrive N3 RLS7.1. I'd like to ask you what you think of this ROM?
And as for tweaked, I have come across two possible versions of a "tweaked" ROM. Tweaked ROM [Material L Theme] and TweakedN3 v3.x. Are these actually the same ROM? I'm looking around but still am not sure on this.
Thanks for your reply.
Olin
Well I "think" I have it figured out and I am in fact going to go with the Tweaked ROM, basic install procedure. Thanks so much for your advice ytj87 - I would have installed that other ROM if I had not seen your post. I may do that down the road anyway but I intend to give Tweaked a thorough test before I do. It looks great and based on forum info it seems less buggy than most of the other roms I researched.
Olin
Will probably come down to the experience you want. Tweaked is more stock with an emphasis on stability. I haven't used Hyperdrive, but when you see a ROM like that which integrates something other than the Note 3 TW UI, you're more likely to see glitches. It's the same NF9 base, though, and it has been around a while, and it looks interesting, so at some point give it a shot if curious. I personally prefer the Note 3 original UI to the S5's, so I probably won't try it.
TweakedN3 3.95. The LP themed one I haven't used.
Im getting one later today that has rooted Morom 6.5 Android 5.0 up there already on the galaxy note 4 verizon developer edition, can someone point me to the right direct or advice where i can downgrade it?
I love kitkat, and i dont want no lolipop , if someone can point where i can just put a clean NJ5 KITKAT firmware thats already rooted, or if anyone can recommend me a CM ( CM roms used to be my favorite in s3 and 4 days.. cleanest roms ever) or something thats actually kitkat but no bloatware etc and runs smoothly/faster near stock android.
sorry if this been asnwered before but all i can find is lolipop all over the note 4, and there is a high chance im blind! lol
