[ROM|MJ4] Galaxy Note fre3 Hybrid De[Odex] v1.42 -BeastMode Kernel- - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hi guys, welcome to Galaxy Note fre3. This ROM is 'Wizless' in that it doesn't have the Samsung launcher or widgets, and tries to remove as much bloatware as possible while maintaining a fully functional ROM.

[size=+2]Data Connectivity Issues?[/size]:
-There was a small problem pre-1.4 that messed up APNs for some. If you suffer from data connectivity issues and don't want to factory reset, download the flashable zip below, which will put the APN backup & restore app into your /system/app directory and the SprintAPNxXML file onto your sdcard. Once done installing, boot back up and launch the application, Ignore the warning screen you get from first launch, then press menu and select "Disable ICS check." Once done, exit the app and load it again, then choose "Delete APNs" and select yes to the following prompt. Once done, go ahead and tap Restore APNs, and select the SprintAPNsXML from the prompt and select no to the duplicate check. Once it is done, it should have imported 24 APNs, if so, go ahead and reboot and your data connection should work fine. For good measure go ahead and update your profile after the reboot.

Question. If I am coming from mi13 Rooted with TWRP recovery . How would I go about Flashing this rom?
Factory data reset. Flash rom(Galaxy Not e fre3 1.2 ), then flash the Update file (Galaxy Note fre3 1.31 update) in one session??
Thanks ahead of time

Yes precisely. But your firmware is quite old. I'd suggest you update to mj4 first unless you're not having any problems with audio quality on calls.

Will you be adding viper audio to this at some point?

Thanks for the replay. So why doesn't my firmware update along with the rom?? Is it different in the note 3 ?

This looks very tempting.
Man Freeza, you've got your hands all in this phone... Firmware, ROMs , kernels, MODs.... This community is blessed to have you aboard. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. It's greatly appreciated.
Does this include your BeastMode 1.7 or an earlier version?

I'm not sure. What is viper audio and does it really make a difference? If so I'll gladly try it out.

Well, it's different in that firmware updates at the moment are a bit tricky. I'd suggest trying this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524470
Some have had success. It's a bit of a hit and miss. If it doesn't work, I'd suggest making a backup, downloading a MJ4 tar for Odin so that you get fully updated then flash the ROM. Cumbersome, I know, but at the moment, it's all we've got lol.

Thanks
Was having issues with my stock rooted ROM today and decided it was time to start flashing and this is the one I decided to go with and I am very impressed so far! I did a full wipe and flashed both files. Booted right up! Thanks for all the work you put into developing!
