SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 3.6 AND ABOVE

1. You MUST install the new MJ5 bootloader, download it from here (otherwise WiFi wont work), and not to worry you can go back to MI6 without any issues.
   MJ5 Bootloader MD5:1A151B51431DEA8118B03200853DD082
2. Flash it via Odin. If you don't have Odin, and need instructions, Download Odin 3.07 from here and check this post for step by step instructions.
3. Now follow the normal install instructions.

Install Instructions

1. Your phone needs to be rooted and should have a custom recovery, if not follow this guide here
2. As far as recoveries go, I highly recommend TWRP use the following link to get the latest TWRP for Note II and use it with the above method.
3. Copy to sd-card and flash
4. After booting up the phone open XposedInstaller go to Framework section and install the Xposed framework, then reboot.
5. After rebooting, enable WanamXposed Module (found in the XposedInstaller Modules section).
6. Now you can use the WanamXposed app.
7. Download WanamXposed app from Google Play and enable it from Xposed installer-> Modules section

DATA WIPE
If you are coming from any other ROM, sammy or AOSP a data wipe is a must.
If you are coming from WanamLite with the same build number (i.e XXDMB6) then a wipe is not necessary unless specified in the instructions.
If you are coming from a previous version of JoelDroid N2 a wipe is not necessary unless specified in the instructions.

Download links

(Read the special instructions above)
If you are on JoelDroid 3.5 and NOT installed Note 3 Mods, no need to wipe data, Otherwise It is highly recommended to wipe data.

Please Note: this is not my creation and I do not take any credit for it. I only removed extra bloatware and made it fully compatible with JoelDroid 3.5. This is being continuesly developed and maintained by titooo7 and his team. If you have any bugs or reports regarding this please post in his development thread here.

What is changed from original Mod Rom 3.5?

• Added transparent Accuweather
• Removed Note 3 browser
• Added Fixed Note 3 Phone with popup call
• Removed bloatware such as scloud sync apps, samsung apps and other third party apps (Flipboard, EverNote, etc)
• Removed some apps which conflict with gapps (they are the reason for gapps FC)
• Replaced the settings from Mod Rom 3.0 as Mod Rom 3.5 had lots of missing display options and others, Air View is duplicated in this but that is a minor trade off.

I have never tested this with simplistic... I usually avoid installing any system level mods.
This is as close to stock as it can be (with a lot of optimizations of course) only with a AOSP look
