I rooted the phone, but know nothing about ROMS or if I even need one?
I rooted the phone so I can remove the bloatware & I was hoping for faster speeds out of the device as well.
Is there a ROM that the community generally considers the fastest/lightest stable ROM out there?
IMHO I've tried em all...
stock rooted OC5 update is the best
everything works.

It's on the development thread. Or you use ota. It will wipe your internal though so backup first.

This one right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/romodin-t3095540
I bought a used phone & it is on
Hardware: N900P.12
Android version: 5.0
I plan to do a factory reset & then root the phone (I rooted a Galaxy Note 2 once, but I never installed a custom ROM before).
So when I "flash" that OC5 ROM, will it just be a de-bloated stock Samsung Note 3 ROM on the latest Loliupop update?
All the S-Pen & camera features of the phone will be intact?
Am I correct or is that a much more customized ROM?
Will I have to root it first before following the steps in that thread?

That's not a "flashable" rom in terms of using a custom recovery to do so, that is a tar that you use with odin and your phone in download mode. I would read some of the q&a threads in regards to updating from nk4 to oc5.

I actually do not see any ROM named OC5 in this site under the Sprint ROM sections:
http://grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Doesn't that site have every ROM available?
OC5 is the Samsung code for the latest version of their software. the letters and number correspond to the date is was released, can't remember how it translates... doesn't matter.

Ok, so OC5 is just the latest firmeware update for the Galaxy Note 3, it isn't a custom ROM at all.
So the stock ROM is better than all of the custom ROM out there?

I'm on stock rooted lollipop right now, with Nova Launcher. I love it.
there is a fellow putting together a stock rooted deodex that works with Xposed over in the gen chat sect, and that's going to be great, should be released soon.
I'm not a fan of theming at all, and IMHO the more changes a person makes in a ROM, the more features ported and crammed in there, the buggier it tends to be... and that's not always true either, just my experience.

Lolipop v 5.0 was already on the phone, I just rooted it & everything went fine.
I downloaded Titanium Backup & holy hell is there a crap load of apps on this. Too daunting to mess on my own.
So there is no stock debloated lolipop ROM for the Note 3 as of now & we have to wait for the deodex stock rom?

Correct. Lollipop was a different "type" of Android. So it's been catch up time for devs to figure out how to make the mods work on lollipop. It's all coming soon. There is also a list in general section of apps you can remove without worries.

there are no custom roms in the sense other phones currently have. right now each flash is basically it's own version of the OS and overwrites what was previously there.
so potentially is there a way to move files from bean's rom the asop theme to Adam's package?

Once we have the bootloader unlocked (I read there is an announcement tomorrow regarding it) we will be able to backup and restore prior ROM's and builds etc. That will make life far more interesting.
There's really no reason to run Adam's unless you are needing the utilities that are included.

Your apps stayed because you didn't 'wipe' data while flashing. This is known as a 'dirty' flash. For simple ROMS that are mostly stock it's usually not a problem.
As ROMS become more customized dirty flashing starts to cause problems, especially when going to different versions. You end up with FCs.
Well I am on the s4 active now and I want to put the factory updated JB rom on my old Note.
Is it as easy as following the directions sent in the txt when the update came out or anyone have the factory rom I can flash the CWM

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

Hi I am new to rooting - just did this the first time today.
I followed instructions here and got root via CWM
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
then flashed Gummy via these instructions
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-n...custom-rom-using-cwm-on-rooted-galaxy-note-3/
after first flash it was stuck in the boot
I flashed again as suggested in the above link if stuck in boot for 10 minutes.
It booted but got this many time 'process isn't responding' and got these options 'wait' or 'stop'
After 4-5 'waits' it booted...only to last 30-60 seconds while i tested an app or two ...then it would reboot.
I was on lollipop and now on 4.4.4 gummy. no problem during root. only problem seems the auto-rebooting
Where is this gummy rom?

Ok first the gummy ROM is in a AOSP rom for a 9005 AT&T device it is not designed for your phone if you are running a sprint note 3. You need to pull the battery then reinstall battery hold the power button the menu button and the volume down button at the same time once the phone boots up with a yellow triangle then push the volume up button. this will get you into download mode you need to Odin flash the stock lollipop operating system that was in your phone before you flashed the gummy ROM. There is a thread in the Android development section for Sprint note 3 by JairSantana that has a stock .tar of lollipop that you can download and odin flash with a PC click on my signature on ROM flashing basics for the instructions on how to do it.

Since you are on lollipop which is Android 5. 0 there are not many ROMs available so you may have to flash back downgrade to 4. 4. 4 to have a better variety of ROMs to flash if you wish to flash an AOSP ROM remember that it has been ported and you will lose some of the original features of your note 3.

YES you can use AOSP roms it's just that they have to be based on the OS that you have in your device and they have to be set up for a sprint devices. AOSP roms usually have different versions you just have to use the version that is set up for your device. The popular ones are CM 12 .
Galaxynote3root.com is a good site and has a lot of great info. just find the right version of the ROM you want to flash for Sprint devices on that website and you'll be good to go.

OK I just flashed MO AR rom and funnily it went from stock sprint 5.0 to MO AR 4.4.2.
Why ( how) did that happen ? Numerous ppl said you can't flash from 5.0 to 4.4...which is why I had all those issues with gummy and numerous other roms?
*still confused* )))
so I got this galaxy s5 (free) to replace the S4 I had.. I'm on AT&T and the S5 is a T-Mobile device.. I unlocked and am currently using on AT&T without any issues.. I tried Cyanogenmod 12 on it.. had way too many Bluetooth music issues.. so I switched back to a rooted t-mobile stock.. which is terrible.. bluetooth music works great but everything is is painfully slow.. so I want to find a good fast custom rom (that also has proper bluetooth music support).. With so many device versions and so many custom roms I'm just a bit perplexed.. I found some that are debloated stock roms which seem like that would be good. but I'm just a bit confused on what parts I need to have as "t-mobile g900t" and which parts I don't have to have that way? so yeah this is a bit of a newbie question (even though I have run 4 or 5 custom roms in the past (original galaxy s and my s4 both had custom roms). .but those were always at&t devices on at&t network.. so was an easier choice..
at any rate.. looking for some tips on how to best find the right rom.. Would love to do this today/tomorrow.. avoid messing with the phone during the work week..
Thanks in advance!!

Try the latest stock ROM for the phone. Many of us were having issues with lag with prior 5.1.1 ROMS. The latest ROM has fixed all these issues. Very snappy.
i feel like i remember seeing bluetooth/audio fixes & updates in the CM13 nightly changelogs, you also didnt specify which CM 12 you installed... the last 12.1 snapshot from october or the last nightly from december?
You can run whatever rom you want. If it works with KLTE it works on your phone. Check the S5 unified development. Cyanogen has always been crap on this phone, probably always will be. Try an AOSP based one like Tesla or TipsyOS (probably won't find them on this site, they post all of their roms on their Google+ page)
Unfortunately the only Marshmallow available for this phone so far is CM-13 based so it's also crap and full of bugs...
To be honest, no ROM you find will be perfect. The most stable thing I've found is to just use a rooted stock ROM and debloat the hell out of it then run Google Now launcher or Nova and forget that you have a Samsung device for a while, until the next OTA comes out and you have to do the process over again.

The most stable thing I've found is to just use a rooted stock ROM and debloat the hell out of it then run Google Now launcher or Nova and forget that you have a Samsung device for a while, until the next OTA comes out and you have to do the process over again.

much improved deep sleep battery means crap & full of bugs? i'm over a week behind on nightlies & there arent that many bugs... http://www.cmxlog.com/13/klte/ things are improving all the time, only CM 12.1 is stuck... but the last december nightly isnt buggy either
Sort of forgot about this thread. first Thanks for the replies.. So I have been using CM13 since I posted this.. and this has great for speed.. but BlueTooth continues to suck.. no matter what bluetooth device I use with this Rom it skips and stutters. I've finally had enough.. it's been quite a long time with this issue so time for me to switch.. I will try one of the rooted stock roms and debloat it with one of those tools.. thanks again everyone!

Go to the international s5 site look at Tamirda's phoenix rom . It's 6.0.1 mm very snappy very few bugs. Very moddable. Just load a stock mm rom from here first than so you have the proper bootloader and modem. After installing you feel like you got a mini s7. Good good.

You can run whatever rom you want. If it works with KLTE it works on your phone. Check the S5 unified development. Cyanogen has always been crap on this phone, probably always will be. Try an AOSP based one like Tesla or TipsyOS (probably won't find them on this site, they post all of their roms on their Google+ page)

Question.. I currently have CM13 loaded in this phone.. so do I still need to do the "Just load a stock mm rom" first? I assumed I already had the proper bootloader and modem..
thanks!

If you have the mm bootloader and modem installed just wipe and flash. But I believe cm 13 could be ran on the lp bootloader. I odined the stock tar first that way you know all the partitions are proper. Than Odin Twrp 3 0.0 . Make sure you back up your data from internal storage because when you Odin factory package it wipes phone storage. I learned this the hard way lost a bunch of pictures lol anyway I found this to be the best way. Hoping this helps....

1. is there a way to tell which bootloader I have?
2. I'm running teamwin.. I assume that's fine for flashing Phoenix but does one really need Odin?
3. I had a rooted stock image before I installed CM13.. (the stock image was so dang slow.. forget which.)
thanks again!

Get any phone info app and check and see if your bootloader ends in pe1 if it don't you don't have mm bootloader. Teamwin is twrp just make sure it's version 3.0.0 that version seems to do best with the phoenix rom.

Sorry for eavesdropping but I dont think that PE3 came yet, either via OTA or on sammobile.
Correct me if I am wrong

thanks for sticking with me on the all the newbie questions.. bootloader version reported as G900TUV1FOG6.. later in the list it shows Latest Firmware: G900TUVUGPE1/G900TTMBGPE1/G900TUVU1GPE1.. so at first I was thinking I was ok.. but that second entry had me wondering.. (dang.. just noticed this was never submitted (from 6/28).. oh well)..
ok.. So I assumed I'm good to go.. installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2).. wiped the data area and tried to flash Phoenix.. It starts installing Aroma.. and within a couple of seconds the phone reboots back into TWRP.. did this a few times.. rebooting into the OS gets me a new Cyanagenomod not Phoenix.. figure I must be missing a step somewhere (or have something that is preventing Phoenix from installing).. thoughts?
thanks again!!

I think you still don't have the correct bootloader . The firmware is mm because your using CM13. The easiest way to get it done for sure is to odin the official MM firmware. Than install Twrp 3.0.0 flash superuser to have root . Reboot in recovery and flash phoenix rom v12.0 than the 12.6 update. This may take extra time this way but all the partitions will be correct. Or odin bootloader in BL slot and modem in cp slot . Don't set for auto reboot pull battery back into download mode Odin Twrp pull battery. Reboot into recovery than flash superuser. Than flash phoenix. Good luck

OK.. you may be right.. I downgraded TWRP to 3.0.0 and the install started working fine.. but now the reboot into Phoenix has been going for about 35 mins.. I know it can take some time but that seems extreme.. will wait a bit longer and if it doesn't work I'll try the steps you listed above..
thanks again

Gary look in this general section for the post that instructs you how to install factory mm. Follow the guide. Google to see how to install factory tar files using Lunix . I'm guessing my instructional writing skills leave something to be desired lol . Once you have the factory mm up and running install Twrp flash superuser reboot. Than reboot into recovery flash phoenix rom. Good good
