159[size=+2]TweakedN3 3.95 UVUDNF9 4.4.2 SM-N900T Samsung Galaxy Note 3[/size]
Hey everyone - me again, resident no-one-in-particular. Much like my previous forays into "projects"... I'm finally getting to where I feel good about posting this little mess - and it only took 4 months! Clearly I am still lacking a bit in the speed department, but hopefully folks enjoy what I've managed to muster together so far. This was originally based on the stock UVUDNF1 T-Mobile TouchWiz 4.4.2 and is now based on the stock UVUDNF9 4.4.2 base - the most recent official update at the time of writing this post... In other words - this is a stock modified T-Mobile rom! As I already mentioned this took quite a while to put together as a number of my tinkerings had to be more or less reworked from scratch (stemming from tinkerings on other devices and changes between 4.3 and 4.4.2 - and even between 4.4.2 builds), but on the upside I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out.
It should be noted that I still consider this a work in progress, so even though there are a number of things that I still want to include - at the time of writing this post I feel enough is done to warrant it actually being posted. That way others (assuming others give it a shot) can let me know if things don't work or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve, if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way, or if there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) - I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning, and thats been the driving force behind my tinkering since it began really
[size=+2]I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE![/size]
In an attempt to keep things clear and concise, see below for links to posts containing various bits of should-be-read info on what this is all about.
[size=+2]SCREENSHOTS[/size]While the theme is pretty much stock, I figured I would throw in a few screenshots that show a few minor things. If you want to see the screenshots (and they aren't already showing) just click the "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT" (or "SPOILER") button!
[size=+2]---CHANGELOG---[/size]
Let me know if there are any suggestions/issues/etc. - also, feel free to stop by the IRC channel Alexia Whitehurst was so kind to make for all of this on freenode - #tweaked. If you don't have an IRC client you can always use their webchat interface here. Happy flashing!

50[size=+2]TWRP Installation instructions[/size]:
While this rom does offer some customizable options at install - THE CUSTOMIZATION PROCESS IS NOT QUITE THE SAME AS OTHER ROMS!!
What does this mean? Well, if you want to tailor your installation using some of the available options, you'll have to read up on how to do so.
Wut?!? I have to read then!?! NOO!!!!
LOL - well like I said you really don't HAVE to read about this, it's only if you want to customize things outside of the default setup. If you don't want to customize anything, then simply flash the main TweakedN3 zip and be on your way. NOTE:Info on default and custom install options can be found during aroma interactions or in the installation instructions zip!
So you want to customize the install? Sounds good - and read on.
This was an idea that I started using over on the Note2, but the end result leaves two custom install approaches that lead to the same result. One advantage (for those that like customizing a bit at install anyway) is that after an initial step - you will no longer need to go through aroma and reselect options when reinstalling (assuming you don't delete some files in a particular directory of course). This should be a boon to those that enjoy flashing this and that, as the process of reinstalling complete with customized options will now be much faster. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Unless you use the default approach you will most likely need to edit/redo this process for each update to make sure all new/edited options are up-to-date! This isn't excessively relevant yet, but it will be soon enough I imagine.
A complete explanation of the advanced approach can be found in this post, but the focus here is on the approach most fitting to the general (or new-to-flashing) user.
Before getting into that though, remember that the usual rules still apply:
- While very much stable in my experience you should be cautious whenever you flash. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues.
- I highly recommend wiping data (or even in extreme cases flashing the UVUDNF9 ODIN file - this has been shown anecdotally to not be necessary, but still it's good to note that you can grab such files via kies or from here - search for N900T and grab the most recent one - registration on the site is required, but is also free) before getting started with any of this. This is just a recommendation - not a requirement - and yes, if you flash an ODIN file that means you will have to reflash a custom recovery before moving forward.
- Tweaked needs to be flashed in a custom recovery - I recommend TWRP myself. There are reports that CWM itself does not work with this, but recoveries based off it like PhilZs seem fine. Just note that the only one I've tested this on is TWRP - so tread cautiously if treading elsewhere This should of course imply that you will need to already have such things in place if you are interested in giving this a try. For what its worth - I have been using TWRP for quite a long time on the Note3 and have been quite happy with the results.
[size=+1]THE SUPER SIMPLE SAFE APPROACH[/size]
Well the super simplest of all approaches would be to just flash the main install zip. For those that tried any of the alpha/beta zips discussed here the result will be very similar to what was experienced with those.
Now, if you want to have a little more say in what gets installed, and you don't care much for the underpinnings of it all, then this is all you really need to know to install Tweaked:
- Download TWO zip files from the downloads post
--- The basic approach prepare install zip
--- The main TweakedN3 UVUDNF9 zip
- Boot into custom (e.g. TWRP) recovery (if not already there)
- It's STRONGLY recommended to wipe data/factory reset
- FIRST flash the basic approach prepare install zip
--- This is an aroma-style interface where you choose from install options
- THEN without rebooting flash the main TweakedN3 UVUDNF1 zip
- Nod in approval that while different the process was still easy
Just for the sake of comparison, below is what I would consider the general fits-whatever-install-approach-you-chose installation instructions:

changelog
- Fix the Call Forwarding FC in call settings
- Fix the ebay search issue
- Added in some stuff to the toggle resets (both in SecSettings and TSMParts) that can help if the torch toggle guts "stuck" (I've seen this happen when there are FC issues involving SystemUI or Keyguard)
- Redid one aspect of a wifi calling check that wasn't working in SecContacts, so hopefully ATT folks will no longer have (or at the very least a decreased number of) force closes involving SecContacts
- Fixed the "bug not found" - the secure camera widget mod wasn't working correctly (originally visibility was attached to a stock swipe lockscreen setting over the tsm option; it also did not work on pattern/signature lock)
- Just for funsies I also worked in the fix for the SystemServer crash based on the xposed mod put together by thomashoffmann

KRYON THEME
FOR THE GALAXY NOTE 3 on ATT & TMO RUNNING TWEAKED NF1 KITKAT ROM O N L Y
KRYON THEME is a new theme that digs a little deeper into your Touchwiz ROM's DNA. Its not just image work, but expanding into the smallest things and exploring/exposing new ideas that will make Touchwiz become almost a new UI feel. With KRYON THEMEs, I wanted to merge that edgy taste with a bit of class, to the Touchwiz experience while driving that happy feel and sleek look through out. As an avid AOSP lover, I simply love the Note 3 and all its glory, just not the hideous look of stock TW. KRYON THEME hopes to make you smile
These versions are IN BETA RELEASE and consists of the Main Structures-Framework, SecSettings, SecContacts, SecPhone, SystemUi, S5-Mms, Calculator, Job Manager, MultiWindowTray, MusicPlayerWT, Camera and Clock of course there is more to come. Just getting started...

[size=+2]Miscellaneous Notes[/size]:- [size=+1]REMEMBER -[/size] Regardless of what install approach you use you can always use the Modificatinator to un/re/do virtually [size=+1]ANY[/size] of the options available to you in the main install! No need to reflash the whole rom!
Even if you don't use it right away, make sure to GRAB THE MODIFICATINATOR HERE NOW so you have it if you want it later!!
- Even though the full install is not really aroma-based (definitely aroma-inspired though) the modificatinator is, as is the zip relevant to the basic install approach, so make sure to check out this thread and this thread and thank amarullz for the awesome work!
- Updates that come after the initial release MAY also have a flash-update-only option - whether or not it does just depends on the specifics of the update. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Depending on what is updated, an update-only flashable may break things if you are themed! I will try to avoid this as much as possible, but all it takes is a minor edit to a framework-res.apk string (for example) to necessitate an overwriting of a file typically quite important for themers (resources.arsc) - just be mindful of this please
- As the Note3 is privy to a number of ROMs and kernels, for the sake of simplicity I have included the unaugmented UVUDNF9 stock kernel as an option (fyi no kernel is flashed by default).
[size=+1]PLEASE NOTE:[/size] Individual phones seem to vary quite a bit in terms of stability/usability when it comes to kernels, so if you are having any issues like unexpected shutdowns or reboots, freezes, etc. - PLEASE switch to the stock kernel first to see if that is the culprit. That is the one that will work (well it should anyway lol) on any and all phones, so if yours happens to be a temperamental one please be mindful of what you pick and aware of the consequences such picks may elicit!
- This is still pretty much an unthemed rom - so if any would like to change this PLEASE let me know (a themer I am not!). This is reflective of the thinking behind the whole setup as being nothing more than stock with some extra options. On that note - for those that like flashing various mods and what not, be wary - unless it specifies that it was made to work with Tweaked it likely will not.
- If you are unable to grab a logcat of a force close/issue, there is a directory on your phone that may contain files I can use in a similar way.
/data/log/ is the directory, and the files that offer tidbits and clues as to what the issue was start with the name "dumpstate_". If you send those to me along with an explanation of what went wrong, I will be much quicker to figuring out (and hopefully resolving) the issue!
