opinions? Which modern ROM for biz-use on Samsung Note3 hlte/TMobile ?

[n756gkj]

My ofc has a bunch of Samsung Note3 (hlte/TMobile) phones.

Hardware's still perfectly capable.

I need/want them to be -- as much as possible -- rooted, bloat-free, stable(ish) daily driver, using a well-supported current ROM, can live without themeing whistles-n-bells.

For a long while, that's been CyanogenMod. Even though a 'stable' v12 (Lollipop-based) release never saw the light of day, the nightlies have been generally reliable.

Of late, the situation's changed a bit ...

v12 hasn't seen a nightly since May 8.
There's no official v13 -- nightly or otherwise.
v13 *is* available as a completely unofficial solution on XDA, but afaict, the dev's busy as heck -- and there's only one of him.
Questions asked at the forums re: v13 get snark from the moderators.

Works for some. Not for my situation.

Sooooo, I'm looking for opinions. What hlte-ROM gets me closest to my criteria^? ideally on Marshmallow -- with , at least, a plan for N?

Reading through these forums, my first leaning is to Resurrection.

I will make some time to DL and test a few, of course.

But I'd certainly appreciate some thoughtful comments/suggestions.

Thanks.

Would be interested in this, too.

You're not alone. I plan to use the Note 3 for another year, as you said the hardware is perfectly capable. I'd like to run a stable version of Marshmallow at a minimum. I have the same concerns regarding stability, no bloat, root, etc.

To be very stable, Lollipop is still the way to go honestly. There are some hardware limitations when concerning Android 6.0+ on the Note 3. But for Marshmallow you could try our Dominion s7 v2.2 ROM. It's in the T-Mobile Note 3 development section. It's Marshmallow 6.0.1 and is stable as the rest of the 6.0+ ROM's. You also retain the S Pen functions unlike something like CM or a purely AOSP ROM. It also has the Screen Off Memo feature from the Note 5.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a shot today.

fyi,

Cyanogen Inc. reportedly fires OS development arm, switches to apps

I'm not holding my breath for ongoing Cyanogenmod development for the Note3 ...

If you don't know the difference between cyanogen and cyanogenmod, you have wasted your time in XDA.

Ah, the usual irrelevant drivel ... Didn't take long.

Riiiiight. That's the issue. 'cuz there's NO correlation whatsoever between dev & devs at Cyanogen and Cyanogenmod project, and with the troubles at the Co, there'll be a sudden uptick in dev & support @ Cyangenmod. I'm sure new devs will start flocking to the platform too ...
