So I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Baseband version ends in NC5. I would really like to root my phone but everywhere I look I get a ton of conflicting information. I found Kingo root but some people said not to do it. I have Oden but does that just take care of rooting then I can install what I want from there?
Anyone that can give me instructions on what I need to do to root my Note 3 that would be great. I would prefer not to ruin my warranty or hit Knox.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome!
Thanks
Use towelroot.... This should be under help and faq btw.

Check any number of threads on Towel root, which will likely work on your device, depending on its date of manufacture. You should be able to find it in the general forum.
This thread will soon be in the Q&A section where it belongs, as soon as it's moved.

Thanks guys! I was looking at that one and just wasn't sure about it and found out that was the best one. I downloaded Wanam Xposed to play round with the notification panels and stuff which was my main reason any recommendations on good theming apps or places to look for themes?

I'd suggest abstaining from piling on this thread or line of inquiry until such time.

Installing towel root should work.
Once that's done, install the latest Xposed framework (2.6.1), and Wanam, to get started.
Your options are really superb if all you wish to do is tinker with Xposed. Hop on over to the Xposed section of xda and have a blast. You really can have an excellent device with only root, an ad free app, and Xposed.
Good luck, and if interested in what modules are good, feel free to come back here and ask after you've had your fill of Wanam.

Awesome I just started playing with Wanam and its pretty cool. I was in the Sprint store the other day playing with the LG G3 and loved the color scheme on the G3 and was thinking of looking for a theme like that but want to change the backgrounds on all my menus like in settings and such to something lighter than the plain old black theme that came with note 3. Ive used some apps before my phone was rooted to theme but now I know I can do much more so any advice or pointers on what modules to use/get would be great!

First go to this Xposed module thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541
[INDEX][XPOSED] XPOSED Modules Collection | Post Modules' Request Here!
Then look for a few, including...
XuiMod, XHaloFloatingWindow, Tinted Status Bar, S5 System UI Theme, CPU Temp in Status Bar, amongst others.
The trick is to avoid mods that interfere with others.
Most of the aforementioned won't conflict with others.
Take it slowly, and experiment.
Good luck!

That was what I thought too until I got my Note 2.
Now, it is almost completely useless and I have the paid version.
Phew, glad I was lurking the forums, I was literally about to buy the paid version. I recommend emailing the developer with whatever doesn't work and specify your device, he'll probably fix whatever's broken.

I definitely wouldn't waste the money until it works correctly with the N2.
As it stands now the vast majority of its many functions don't work at all with our phones.
Also multi boot animations work as well. You can pick com your sd card or download right from rom toolbox. I now have a different boot ani every time I reboot my phone. There is a setting for random also.

If you are on a TW ROM it won't work, it states in the first few lines of the OP it is only for AOSP Roms.
Also I believe the Xposed framework has an add on that allows what you're wanting.

OK, from what I've found you need to install the Xposed framework and then install the Tweakbox, the only problem is the tweakbox I've found is for ICS. It may or may not work. That was the way I found to do it in the thread. I will keep looking because there is still one that I remember reading that I haven't found.
Here is a blog link that says it works for ICS and JB so hopefully it will work, this one explains it with pictures so it should be easy to do:

Well that suck ass bad, it is supposed to remove it from both from what I understood but apparently it does not work. There were posts in that thread that said it didn't work either but there were some that said it did.
If I were you I would back everything up, via nandroid and back your apps up with Tibu, and flash Goodness. There may be other Roms that have it but the only one I know for certain that has it, without going and looking, is Goodness. There most likely won't be a mod made for stock if it hasn't already happened.
When we get official 4.2.2 then maybe, I believe the S4 comes with it stock so if we get the update soon ours most likely will too.

Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.
I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.
This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.
Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!
I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.

Yes in deed you are correct... I guess I should of mentioned that earlier in my post... The thing with that is you can see the difference in the transparency... I am very particular in how I like things to look... I would much rather it be gone.. But thank you for pointing that out...
Let's hope some one takes this challenge before N3 comes out...
This thread is pretty old but I too was searching how to make that black bar go away. I am on the 4.3 stock rooted and xposed. I found a way to do this within 20 minutes of searching.
Install the Tinted status bar module for Xposed
2) open systemui.apk
3) select all activities and slide the bars all the way to the left for the navigation bar tint settings!
Enjoy!!
Hi,
I noticed that there ain't any themes for this tablet so here is an easy way to theme your tablet.
And of course you will need to be rooted to do this.
Also use common sense when messing around the modules. If you end up in boot loops from wrongly setting up the modules then there is always a Xposed disabler zip file in the root of our sdcard that you will have to flash in recovery to remove the bootloops.
First Install Xposed app.
Second Install xTheme Engine.
Here is a collection of xThemes i have collected and uploaded in one place to easier access them.
Fourth if you want to further mod you Tablet then try the modules here.
The Xposed Framework and xTheme Engine works on all roms. The themes will only do basic theming so do not expect to move mountains with it.
Happy Theming
I was wondering if you had any pics of the specific themes. Would help a lot to see which ones would suit my taste.

I just ordered my Note 10.1 4G 2014 and it will be here in a week or so.

If I get the time I will make as many screen shots of the themes I try out.
Please if you guys can do the same and upload your screen shots of the themes you try then you will help out the community.
Screenshots
I am a bit disappointed or maybe I did something wrong? I tried royal theme and miui sony theme and the only thing that changed was wifi icons and some stuff in the notification are. If anyone knows some full themes that would be great. Screenshots attached, first two are royal elegance and the last one is sony miui. I only took screen shots of what was themed because nothing else changed for me
I would suggest The guy who did True Icon (keygenSVK)

There is an Xposed modules that might work, icon themer, though you may want to see if it's compatibile. You can always go the icon pack route, either on the play store or on one of the Xda threads.

The icon packs in blackbearblanc copy drive are plentiful, beautiful and free. You needn't be rooted, and you can simply install them. Same with Seriously Crazy and many others.
Just do a Google search of either of those two names (or many other ones too numerous to mention) adjacent the word xda, and you'll find eye-popping icon packs that do the job, and you needn't be rooted. You'll get lost before settling on what you want, but you are almost certain to find something you love. I've seen dozens of nice grayscale icon packs that look fantastic. It's a clean, minimal look.
You should be able to apply any icon pack to whatever launcher you like, or you can selectively change only the icons you want.
If you don't want to root, that's your call. I would rather you get the look you want and retain your comfort level. These should give you both. It also serves as a great example of just how customizable Android is even without rooting. You can make your phone look stunning without root. Try that with crapple.

So after owning g2 on att..we had same issue. Please disregard if its been posted. If you didn't know already here you go. This does not require root.
1. Go to the market. Download Launcher Pro
2. Don't open it. We're using it for a huge benefit it's always left a back door open for us devs..
3. Press on empty home screen to bring up widgets.
4. Scroll to find the activities in form of launcher pro icon
5. Press on It once It will bring up a huge hidden menu..
6. Scroll down to Home
7. Press home and scroll down to hidden menu themes provider (or the first hidden menu themes etc you see)
8. Press it once.
If you did this in the correct order it will bring a nice sweet blue icon on your home screen ..you can put it in a folder but keep it. Press on it to now have your theme picker.
9. Google LG world apk..download It and now enjoy your themes etc..
I hope this made you smile.
Peace.

Any chance for problems if rooted and modified with g3 tweaksbox? I was going to apply a theme, but don't want issues from the changes I made with xposed.

Gave it a shot and yes it does work with exposed. No issues yet.
If I remember right, it's the first "Theme" that shows up in that menu. It's not what the OP called it.
Yeah I have it installed already. I just didn't want to install a theme and mess something up.

What themes are you talking about? I mean, you don't mean any cm themes do you.

Lg has themes available similar to like what Miui has but nowhere near as good. Most are pretty lame actually... probably why they dropped them from US varients, but there's a work around.
This topic should have probably been placed in the Themes and Apps forum, but here is some more detailed info on the subject.

I've tried a few. One for the g2 locked my phone up hard and made it totally unresponsive. Theme did stick after a battery pull and was fair at best. It was interesting to play around with for a bit but like i said, most are pretty weak.

Correction duly noted. Thank you. I posted off top of my head. I thought it said what I posted. But important thing is the process is quite painless.

I also add this is for version of sprint that does have the theme apk or home themes hidden. I don't know why. But this does not require root and is for stock Rom. Or out of box fix. Yes it can be moved to themes and apps if mods feel I've posted in error. Again just trying to help keep this sprint version level with the experience of the rest. The stock themes do suck. But the option is also great to have. Peace. And thank you all for your help.

Hope my post didn't come across as snotty. It wasn't my intent if it did ? and thanks for getting this over to the Sprint forums.
I agree, it's a cool option to have. This type of stuff is always fun to tinker with.

Anyone get this to work without root on L? Tia
