Okay, I have not flashed in about a year since I got my knox-ridden Note 3 and I am ready to get back into the game. I have busted knox and installed CWM touch and have a couple of questions

Do you still have to do a full wipe on all roms first time out?

Is there a way to quickly reinstall all of your programs that is reliable (cwm backup, titanium etc)

If yes to last what should i not restore does anything cause problems

Are there any tips

What is the most stable full featured rom (I know everyone has a favorite)

Full wipe is advisable yes, but I've dirty flashed plenty of times previously.

Yeah you can use titanium backup to restore apps just don't do it for system apps

Make sure you make an EFS backup, use the script i n the dev section and avoid play store efs backup apps as they brick Samsung devices.

Cwm touch is great, however it's not supported anymore (philz has stopped development and cwm is outdated) switch over to TWRP.

To summerise.

Flash twrp (don't need root FYI) then flash your ROMs as and when you need/want.

I think the Galaxy S5 Stock ROM is very stable and featureful

There is a couple of S5 ports for the Note 3, not 100% on the features (S-Pen) but people seem to like them.

you can also try MultiX v2.2. it is fully odexed and has aroma installer for many customisation. For me, it's very stable, good battery life, great support and it's one of the fastest TW rom i have used so far
