Noobie help for rooting and different OS?

[Mark300zx]

Hi all,

Still have my Note 3 and enjoying it but realise it is slightly long in the tooth and slowing down, so I am thinking of breathing some life back into the old girl and installing a new OS, recommendations and guides would be kindly received?

There are, till now, 40 million tutorials on the web on how to. So...

I'm using Audax L Rom since last year with stock kernel selected. This is running very well. I can recommend it.
You can find it in the forum here.
I installed it the short way without taking care of knox, because note 3 was already out of waranty.

Regards

Thanks for the reply, again scuse the noobie question, but I hear Knox is major draw on the phone's system, I presume a root and a new OS would get rid of this, also would all my apps work on the new OS, is this dependant on which one I install?

Audax L Rom is already de-knox-ed.

Usually all apps will work unless they don't rely on a specific kernel (usually stock).
For those you can select to use the stock kernel during installation. (Like i do. )

Apps which need knox won't work on this rom, of course.

I always preferred Cyanogenmod, thus I recommend temasek's CM13 builds + OpenGapps STOCK, see my sig which always shows up to date what I use and consider a good daily driver for home and company use
