I'm coming from the world of Nexus to the world of Samsung so naturally I have a few questions..
A bit of info about the note 3:
- purchased from a friend
- seems to be already rooted (there's superuser in the app drawer)
- running android 4.3 jelly bean with all the samsung and tmobile bloat wear
- phone seems to be unlocked (it recognized my Rogers sim card without a problem)
- not sure about KNOX status.. i download samsung knox warranty checker and it says 'unable to detect' bit. possible pre knox firmware installed?'
- android 4.3
- kernel 3.4.0-1670611
-baseband/bootloader: n900tuvubml7
build: jss15j
- its running CWM bootlader installed through the rom manager app
My questions
- I'd like to update this phone to either Kit Kat or Lollipop and I just wonder how I'd go about that?
- I want to keep all the Samsung bloatware as I use a lot of the Samsung options, and I dont really mind the tmobile stuff.. I want it as stock as possible
- I'd also like to keep the unlock, I'm pretty sure it's SIM unlocked.. will I have problems with the unlock? will I have trouble connecting to Rogers again? Do I need their APNs?
- 4.3 jelly bean is actually running super smoothly.. but its starting to feel out dated. I will admit that I wanna update for the sake of updating.. is it even worth it? Will the performance suffer? I'm thinking of only updating to KK
- Do I have to use Odin for stuff like that? with the nexus I'd usually just download the rom and use CWM to flash it
- Any ROMS you recommend that retain all the samsung options yet are fast and stable?
