[ROM] Dominion S7 Edge v3 - N900T TW - [UPDATE: 7/6/2016 FINAL]

[ludeawakening]

Great S7 port. Just installed and noticed that the "Sort" function in "Contacts" doesn't work. I tried to toggle between sort by last name and first name and it doesn't do anything. Also tried to change the "name format" from first,last to last,first, and nothing happened.

Dominion settings also has a bug: Under "statusbar settings" toggling the "stock battery" option doesn't hide the stock battery.

Also, I don't think Call Recorder (under Dominion Settings) is working for both incoming and outgoing calls.

I'm not sure what could be going on with your contacts as I don't have that issue. For the battery, make sure you have 3minit toggled on. Toggle the stock battery to show, then back to hide, and then reboot your phone. See if that helps.

i toggled the battery settings as per your instructions and restarted. changes took effect.

the contacts sorting by last name doesn't work. tried 3 times and rebooted. hmm...

Are we expecting any update soon?

Glad to hear that cleared up the battery. I wish I could help more on the contacts issue. I can't reproduce that problem. How much of a hassle would it be for you to reflash the ROM? That might very well clear that up.

Are we expecting any update soon?

Man... you just committed a cardinal sin by asking for an ETA on updates.

Oh!!!! So when do we begin with the crucifying?

This rom ROCKS. Amazing work dev(s). I had to say that first.... I saw a lot of people having issues with TWRP. I'm not sure if this has been addressed but just use CWM. I've never had any issue with an rom with CWM and I've flashed many over the past 4 years. Just my 2 cents.

Is there a problem with the kernel that comes with the rom?

Just the battery life. About 25% less for some reason. I've already calibrated the battery and still dying quickly when in use. Standby is fine but screen on time is about an hour less in total and I can't figure out why....hence thinking of trying another kernel to see if it helps.

Again, many thanks and gratitude to @kevp75 for a great ROM and fantastically keeping it up to date. A donation is on its way.

Took a few days to finalize, so here's how I got my Stock, rooted Note3 on 4.3 up to (the current Marshmallow 6.0.1) date.
(* Your Mileage may vary. This worked for my phone, it *may not* work for yours. I am not responsible for any negative issues that may occur on your phone. I just want to share what worked for me for this specific upgrade path *)

From Note 3 (SM-N900T *ONLY*) 4.3 Rooted Stock With stock recovery:

*** FILE PREPARATION PHASE ***
>>Download the following files and place them where stated.
>Place following files on your PC:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 Bootloader 4.3
[https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/twrp-2.8.7.0-hltetmo-4.3.img.tar.html]
TWRP 2.8.7.0 Bootloader 4.4
[https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/twrp-2.8.7.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar.html]
ODIN 3.11.1 (or latest version)
[http://odindownload.com/]
Stock 5.0 Lollipop Rom in ODIN flashable format (**unzip .zip file for .tar file to be used by ODIN**)
[https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759884946]
Stock 4.3 ROM (just in case you need to go back to your 4.3 original TWRP backup)
[https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407570438]
({the following 4.3 restore process is **ABSOLUTE SPECULATION** as I have **NOT* done this: follow at your own risk } in case of catastrophic botch, to restore your original 4.3 TWRP backup, I think you: DOWNLOAD Mode > ODIN > 4.3 Stock Rom > Reboot > Power Off > DOWNLOAD Mode > ODIN > Flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 Bootloader 4.3 > Reboot > Power Off > RECOVERY Mode > Format > Restore original 4.3 backup > Reboot > Wait 20 mins for your restore to settle.)

>Place following files on your Note 3 External SD Card:
Dominion S7 Edge V4 ROM (2016.07.06) in post #1 of this thread (if the ROM has updated past V4, you *may* need more steps than shown below)
[http://xdaforums.com/note-3-tmobile/development/rom-dominion-n5-v5-5-1-1-n900t-t3265931]
Stock 4.3 ROM (just in case you need to go back to your 4.3 original TWRP backup)
[https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407570438]

*** INITIAL BACKUP PHASE ***
Copy the contents of your Internal Phone storage to a backup source (*PC, external Hard Drive, etc)
(Yes, this *will* take "forever". DO IT ANYWAY. In case the upcoming TWRP backups fail or are inaccessible, you have the actual files copied and backed up somewhere and easily accessible.)

*** INSTALLATIONS PHASE ***
DOWNLOAD Mode > Odin > Flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 for KitKat 4.3 (In case I need to come back to my original 4.3)
Reboot > Power Off
RECOVERY Mode > TWRP Backup to External SD Card
Reboot > Power Off
DOWNLOAD Mode > Odin > Flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 for KitKat 4.4
Reboot > Power Off
DOWNLOAD Mode > ODIN > Install Stock Lollipop (with FOL1) ***find .tar or .md5 file!!!***
Reboot > Android Lollipop Upgrading process > Let sit for 15 mins > Power Off
DOWNLOAD Mode > Odin > Flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 for KitKat 4.4 (because Lollipop replaced Recovery)
Reboot > Power Off
RECOVERY Mode > TWRP Backup to External SD Card (because I'm paranoid!)

I *literally* just used all of these links last week!
Thank you for the heads up. I'll investigate and update the broken ones.

Ok, the text editor made the final "]" part of the html link, which is breaking them.
Gonna fix them now.
Thank you again!

hate to say it mate... but we're stuck with just 2 of em. a spin on idleKernel, and DarkLord (had it in the last version of which i do not have a link)

you can try lowering the screen on cpu and turning off boost, but, ive noticed a hit with a few games... tho im still getting around 5 days per charge... i dont use it much anymore tho... normal facebook usage, mostly music text and call
