Hey everyone, i'm trying to get ICS AOSP Status/Notification bar into my stock 3.6 ROM.
I've tried flashing ZIP file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640576
but when i reboot there is not notification bar anymore i've tried pulling it down and nothing.
I am Rooted but do i also have to be S-Off in order to change my Status/Notification bar ?
Please help me on this one because i'm really desperate to get AOSP bar on my Evo 3D.
Stock roms are generally odexed which means no theming or modding can be done. ( Unless you find odexed mods). Try flashing a deodexed rom and then flashing the aosp status bar on top of it. If you really like the stock look, you can try meanrom, cool sense, homebrew, or common sense ROMs. All of which are stock, deodexed, and have a butt load of tweaks under the hood.
Edit: Its not necessary to be s-off as long as your bootloader is unlocked, got root and a custom recovery. S-off generally makes things easier. I also forgot to ask if your gsm or cdma? The ROMs I mentioned were all cdma. (Cool sense you can find also in gsm)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping me.
I just installed Cool Sense ROM with that Status bar and it works perfectly.
Also thanks for a little insight about Odex and Deodex ROMs.

No problem. Just a little more info if you don't mind, if your unsure if a rom your using or about to flash is odexed you can use a file browser to peek inside the rom and look through system/app and system/framework folders to see if there's odexed files next to the original ones. All odexed does is take the dalvik memory from the system files and places them in another directory which makes boot time a lot faster and let's the apps load up faster.

So I recently flashed the OTA Rom and I noticed I can't overclock it, is there something I can do? Do I need to flash a kernel or something, also is it possible to change the top bar because I don't like the stock version, like change the theme but I don't want to change the launcher at the bottom . Sorry for the noob questions lol
Best advice would be to flash this ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227075 Droidth3ory makes awesome roms. This rom is based off the latest GB build as well. It also will include a kernel for overclocking into it. Also, he has an app called the "Candy Stor3" in his rom, which has theming options to it, if you want to change how your phone looks.
To answer your question though, with OTA roms, there aren't custom kernels loaded into the rom, because OTA roms are what is "out of box" state. It will come with the manufacturers kernel. Even though the version GB version is updated, I believe a Sense kernel should work with your rom.
Awesome, thank you so much
I put together a rom based on theory's rom listed above, then flashed a sense kernel for overclocking, n it seems to break wifi. So I'm not sure if u can o/c the new 2.10 base yet, may need a new kernel

You obviously tried dreamkernel. Imoseyon has the WiFi fixed. Neither have been at all diligent about keeping their kernels current so there are basically no custom kernels that are fully functional with any ROM base newer than 2.07. The lone exception would be Ziggy's, but you'd have to strip that out of Gingeritis or synergy.
Okay - I've tried searching this topic and no success and/or nothing relevant comes back.
I've tried renaming \system\customize\resources\PowerUp.mp3, deleting PowerUp.mp3 and just about every trick I can think of to get rid of the AT&T boot up sounds (and animation). Every time I delete it, then reboot it comes back. It's like a recurring bad dream. This worked great on my old S3.
Anyone know how to make this go away on a stock, rooted ROM? I've been using Root Explorer to set the directory R/W and then make the changes. No luck! I'm not a fan of smart phones that are overly noisy, so, IMHO, a bootup sound is really annoying and unnecessary....
You need to disable the /system protection in the kernel. There's a flashable mod in the international dev section or you can flash a custom kernel that disables it.

Gunnyman - thanks. Would have never thought about that "feature". I'll go look up the mod and/or do a Kernel....
if you want to stay with a stock kernel download scrossler's cleanrom and pull the boot.img from it. It has protection disabled

Thanks!! Turns out it's just a whole lot easier to flash a kernel for the moment. I did download CleanRom - I've always like Scrosler's ROMS for HTC devices. Once I get more acquainted with my HTC, I'll be flashing CleanRom...
Is there a DNA Stock Debloated ROM? I'm looking around and just don't see it. Probably right under my nose.
Even better, a stock, debloated, desensed ROM?
Before anyone suggests anything else, I'm affected by the custom ROM SMS issue Verizon is pushing on us. So, a custom ROM won't work.
Thanks!
Micromod has a stock debloated KK ROM, its on the 2ndnpage of the development forum.
As far as deSensed, try the GPE ROM by santod. The only truly deSensed is CM or AOSP ROMs, the GPE ROM is sense based but doesn't look like sense.

Forgive my ignorance. Just manually remove things with the file manager? Or is there something more?
I've been using Titanium to back things up, freeze them, then remove them if they don't appear to cause a problem. Is there a simpler, or better way?

Thanks, Choo. I'll check out the Stock Debloat. I started removing things and pissed off my phone.
I'm extremely apprehensive of trying anything other than stock because of my plethora of issues when I first picked up the DNA (the SMS problem).
I am a little confused as I read thru forums stating instructions for installing cwm/twrp. As I have pretty much gone thru every thread and basically realize i am pretty much stuck with safestrap twiz roms. Not a happy camper. Is there a work around or a thread I have missed?
I have had this schi545 for a week now. Is there light at the end of this tunnel? as I am not a big touchwiz fan due to themeing limitations..
anyone above the first firmware MDK, can only use safestrap and roms running on the TW kernel. I recommend you look into eclipse if you dont like TW. Its aosp themed and feels like it, but runs off the TW kernel.

I am running eclipse right now..Its cool an all. I'm just used to aokp/liquidsmooth/gummy Roms coming from the ancient Droid 4....Thanks for the quick response..

That is correct. The original MDK bootloader is the only one that could be exploited (through a process called loki) which allowed flashing a custom recovery. VZW locked things down after that and there is no exploit available.
hi, i am new to this forum and also to the rooting process..i have rooted my note 3 and with some help from here also got me a custom recovery installed.. now i would like to get a custom rom and was wondering which would be the best one to have and also if i could be pointed in the right direction on how to go about doing it..i really appreciate the help..thx!
Read the sticky threads. There is no such thing as the best ROM. You should read about the process and read some more if you don't know how to flash a ROM.
You could brick your device easy enough so take your time and research thru the note 3 forums.
Good luck

First, head over to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 and get the info to flash a ROM. The very first thing you should do is debloat your stock rom here is my thread for that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 . Take your stock rooted, and debloated ROM and make a backup of it so you always have a base to restore from if something goes wrong. Also make a copy of your efs file its on the root of your system you can find this with a file manager like Root Explorer. Put the copy of efs file in a safe place, if the one in your device gets corrupted you will need it. A few simple things up front will make flashing fun.
As far as which is best is up to you, remember anything ported from another type of phone will always have things that don't work. With AOSP roms like CM 12 you lose features on your note 3, but you gain speed and simplicity. ALWAYS remember what version of KITKAT your on like NC4 4.4.4 and choose a new ROM that is based on the same version KITKAT you have on your device. Enjoy!!!!

Decisions decisions....
I'm in the same boat. I've just read through the different ROM's available for NH7.
Could someone point me to which ROM is the:
Cleanest
Closest to STOCK
Fully functional
Lightest (without all the crazy extras that are almost never used)
Most stable. No beta's, if's, maybe's, might work ROM's (certain functions, apps, features etc...)....
I'm setting up a sprint phone for my sister....so nothing fancy. Turn on. Turn off. No bugs. Stable. Something that just works without all the bloatware.
Thanks guys.

Well I'm going to assume her device is on NH7. There are two rom out there freeza's NH7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664 ( go for the odex version ) or the Classic Rom NH7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/classic-rom-4-4-4-nh7-t3012725
Neither of these roms is debloated, but with a little work could be daily drivers. OR if you want something stripped down and stable you could with AOSP (KK) C-ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739968 run it with a LeanKernel here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488233 and that's about as minimalistic as you can get.
Last option what I did for my daughter. Downgraded the device to NC5 the most stable version of KitKat removed KNOX, and debloated it myself there is my thread for that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 .

Excellent. Thanks for talking the time to guide me in the right direction.
Yes, the phone is currently on NH7 at the moment. You had mentioned that neither of freeza's or the classic rom is debloated? I take it that I'd be able to uninstall and just delete the apps that I don't need yes?
Going the ASOP KK C-ROM sounds enticing coupled with using the LeanKernel....hhmmm...... Will the Note 3 lose any of its Note functionality by going with the ASOP ROM? Any known issues?
When you downgraded to NC5, did you just leave it stock and manually de-bloat it? If doing this is the most stable for KK, I may just go this route. I did read the thread about debloating...great stuff....this seems to be the cleanest while on the stock ROM....
Thanks again!

Yes you can delete/uninstall/freeze app you are not using. Anything not running gives you greater battery life and a faster device. Please remember to make a backup of your stock your rooted NH7 FIRST !!! That way if you delete an app and something goes wrong you can can restore the backup and start again.
AOSP has come a long way, most of the note 3 features work, a few small features don't. But as with all AOSP roms they designed to be streamlined and fast so you do give up some features for that. I debloated NC5, there is stuff on these KitKat roms you will never use, stuff for other countries.
