First off, I have been searching for about 3 weeks trying to find a ROM that will retain s note. I have tried several other apps and have not found one that works as efficiently, and to my liking like s no doeROMsI have tried flashing several different ROMs and still have not found one that is no work on.
currently I am running a liquidsmooth version 3.2. Main reason why I crashed my phone is for battery life. After the NK2 update my battery life went to crap. I don't make too many posts on here at all, I spend most of my time reading and searching.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
P.S. I guess this needs moved. Thanks in advance for moving.

All Touchwiz ROMs (based on stock) are compatible with S Note (a Touchwiz app). Sounds like you have been running through AOSP based ROMs.
About all I can find has been aosp or CM. I tried the Roger Wilco ROM but could not get it to boot. I will keep searching.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Free mobile app
I am having a similar frustration. I'm looking for a ROM(s) with S Note for a Note 2, though I got the R Wilco ROM to work. I used this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...lco12s-stock-ne2-v1-0-8-24-14-t2857216/page73
However, it still updates with Samsung, all the Google apps are there, and Gallery wants to sync with Google. WiFI and GPS worked out of the box. It's been really stable. Even Firefox hasn't been crashing!
I don't get why people want to have a Note and don't want to use the pen. I haven't found any other apps that work with the pen. Though, to be honest, finding Android apps is ridiculously difficult: there's no reliable way on the Play market.
So, what I'm looking for is a 4.4.x KitKat ROM with S Note (and therefore presumably Touch Whiz) that's stable, WiFi works out of the box, GPS works out of the box, and has limited Google apps (ie just YouTube, Gmail, Maps/Nav, and Google Play). In a perfect world, those Google Apps would be an add-on set. I got that idea from another ROM actually. I don't want it to auto-update and attempt to kill itself.
my partner has aquired a Note 8.0 n5120 and she loves it... I have rooted it and flashed cwm recovery and so far all is working well.
but she wants a newer Android version... So my question is simple what do I do next? Whats the best way to proceed etc and do all roms have 4g function as she wants to keep it?
Looking forward to yor replies
Regards

You won't find one bug free. I suggest installing the ported Neo S3 UI and Tab4 TouchWiz. They are cleaner and have better look and hidden options.
I also edited my system.db file and my settings list to tab list.
You can look for Tab4 keyboard and use Xposed with Wanam xposed to tweak and customize the tablet.
If battery life Is a problem... you can try my mod using disable service. It will add up to 4 hrs more battery time and make the tablet smoother.
For myself I am happy with 4.4.2 and see no benefit going to any other android version. Though i use my tablet as a tool not a do everything device like a phone. Meaning it don't sync with Google, yet you can sync with Samsung. If you do use Google apps, they are not as connected, so things are controlled by the user not what google does in background.
Hi!
(This is my first post on XDA developers so please let me know if this is not the appropriate place to ask this question)
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 3.7.0 (1GB+16GB), and it is still running on out of the box software except for the ota updates. And as one will guess it is very very very slow. I have pretty good knowledge when it comes to practical computing but haven't really ever rooted any device/tried any custom rom or done anything of that sort.
So it'll be great if anyone could firstly tell me which is the best custom rom for the mentioned model, I just need the rom to be a bug free one which does not lags. I don't intend to do anything heavy on it other than normal reading, whatsapp, online and offline streaming of music as well as videos. Since I am a noob, it would be great if someone would assist me through all these.
Also is it possible to make a bloatware free rom? Means even the preloaded apps of launcher/messaging/phone/music etc. be of my choice, so there's no two apps for the same thing (kinda my dream to be able to do so).
I will be ever thankful to anyone who helps me through all this.
Hi, I am new here. Please bear with me
My present device (Samsung j5 / 2017 model) was damaged and now want to buy a better device - looking at OP5T.
Want to know if this OP5T really supports ANT+ without any hasle? I am reading on the forums - many users experiencing issus such as - a) going into flight mode for using ANT+ b) factory reset c) downloading a set of apps to make it work with ANT+ etc. I am not good at tech things, just a simple user of phone. Can't go around showrooms or find solutions/ experimenting to make it work
A physical trainer by profession, so need this feature badly. Samsung J5 worked like a charm, even from the inception, never had any trouble. I never had to reset that handset; it got crushed accidently when I dropped one of the heavy dumbels. So, now have to buy a new one.
Please advice if OP5T works out of the box, without any hasle?
Thanks for your time in advnce ; Regards

anyone here is able to answer this???
Hi,
I'm using OP 5T with rooted stock OOS 5.1.1 and ANT+ works like a charm for me using IpSensorMan. You have to install the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service from Play Store to make it work. I haven't had any issues, but haven't used it very much either
Hi LasseHoej,
thanks for your positive response. however, I am not really tech guy. How to install this root stocked OS? and how to install IpSensorMen? I know how to install from google playstore. Is it possible to put up a youtube video how to do this? That will be a big help, i know it will be burden on you, but really looking forward to it.
Thanks in advance

Hi again,
You don't need a rooted OS, it should work just fine as your phone is now. IpSensorMan is an app using ANT+. So it's actually just the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service, you need to install from Play Store.
Hello all
I'm a newbie here (so excuse me if I used a wrong term or for not being an expert/dev)
I own a (note 10.1 2014 Edition wifi) for like 3 years now. It feels slower and the battery life is not great compared to its newer versions. I've always thought, for such a high spec device, its illogical to just throw it away or purchase a newer model just for what feels like software limitations (please correct me if I'm wrong). So, I signed up here, in xda dev forum, looking for a way to install a fully functional OS (preferably newer and stable stock android). Most of the roms that I've found were in-complete or still underdevelopment (Which is great news) but I was wondering if I missed a thread with a fully functional Android for my device that I can just upgrade to.
I've tried alot of tips to speed up the tab, reducing animation duration, clearing cache, un-used apps, etc. but it still feels much slower compared to newer models with similar specs. I use my tab for browsing, movies, gaming, drawing, a little graphics design work and taking notes.
My device is not rooted (I tried, but I failed for some reason, I was trying to lower the display resolution and ppi) so I'm still running touchwiz - lolipop 5.1.1
Is there any thread to a fully functional stock Android for P600?
Thank you for your patience and for reading this,
I really appreciate it.
It's funny because I have had my Note 2014 since they were new, and I can't seem to find anything worth replacing it with. Where else can you find a tablet with >8000mAh battery?
I am running LineageOS (Android 7.1) on mine, with root, and I find it quick enough. I would love to get something with current generation specs but I can't find much that I like.
I mainly use mine for work (editing Word documents primarily) or web browsing. I honestly feel it holds up much better than it should compared with newer devices; that's a testament to how mediocre all the current tablet offerings are.

Exactly my thoughts! Thanks for your reply, I though for a sec there that it was all in my head lol.
So if you dont mind, I've some questions about the LineageOS (Android 7.1), how do you feel about it? Is there any issues with it? Anything that you came across that is not working or like software limitations? Is the pen working? Does it use something like a play store? Is all apps compatible with the OS with no issues (did you come across any app that failed to install or use coz of the OS)? How is the Battery life? How do you find games on it?
Sorry for the machinegun of questions ? I'm just excited that someone thinks similarly after what felt like a long silence lol. Again I thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it!

I can answer a few of those.
I'm using the RessurectionRemix ROM which is the same thing as Lineage but with additional features.
All of the hardware features actually work fine (IR blaster, SPen, etc.).
The only thing is you can't use Samsung's apps like S-Note but there are a few alternatives (Onenote, Evernote, papyrus, sketchbook). And SPenCommand (Paid App that requires Root) is what most people use to replace Air command.
Most custom ROMs have you flash GAPPS after the ROM which gives you access to the play store so you can get your apps/games from there.
Battery life is excellent compared to touchwiz, since there's no Samsung bloat installed.
If you wanted to compromise somewhere in the middle there's also a modified touchwiz marshmallow ROM which should have full samsung app/pen support and better battery life than lollipop (but still not as good as Lineage or RR).

Awesome! that sounds great and really comforting! how is the process of installing the rom, is it too difficult? what do you feel that is missing or not working properly, if there is any?
Thanks so much for your reply! I really appreciate it!

Well, the beginning is sort of complicated if you're starting from scratch but after that, it gets easier.
First, you have to get Odin so you can put TWRP on your device. You can find latest Odin here. And latest TWRP on this thread (get only the TWRP .tar file here).
Now put your device in download mode (turn it off then press Power+Volume Down).
Open up Odin then plug in the tablet and one of the top right boxes should turn blue. If it doesn't you might need to install the Samsung drivers from here.
Now click the options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, click the AP button and choose the TWRP .tar file you downloaded, and press start. It should finish pretty fast.
When it's done hold down Power+Volume Up until you see the Samsung logo, and TWRP should show up. That's where you can finally install the ROM.
