Note 3 Finally gets Lollipop

[bobaccord]

Anyone s pen not working? I can't take screenshots with the side button.

Hi, if you are referring to screen shots by pressing the S-pen button and press the S-pen tip on the screen, it is no longer valid on Lollipop.

It is now part of the features on the air command under 'screen write'.. when you click on it, it will take the screen shot and the options/tools will appear at the top.

Just bought a new Note 3 (3G) from the Expo IT fair for my wife, it is using OS 4.4.

When I went into Settings>About Device, I noticed there is no Software Update option, is this normal?

I'm currently using Note 3 (4G) version with OS5 and the option is there, in previous OS version 4.x the option is also there.

Not sure why your Note 3 is 3G version...
Shouldn't be a local set, dangerous honestly.

Fake set maybe?

Finally found some time and rooted my Note 3.

Removed a bunch of bloatware but is there anybody here that knows what can safely be removed?

What kind of battery saving apps/tips you guys use with rooted phones?

1. Auto sync only when necessary, else disable it.
2. Off bluetooth, NFC and location unless needed.
3. Install xposed framework (google it)
4. Install amplify module (reduce wake lock)
5. Install greenify from play store and extend its functionality (experimental features) via xposed module

Got a problem when I am installing Xposed.

"Xposed Installer not Compatible With Android sdk 21", rebooted couple of times but didn't fix the issue.

If you are on lollipop google for xposed framework note 3 lollipop. Source shld be from xda developer.

Edit: This works well on my Note 3 and Note 5.

Backup before flashing in case you got into boot loop.

Cool. I suppose the newer versions should work just as well for my rooted Note 3. From what I read, it's still Alpha version, not even Beta.

Never try never know. Benefits far outweigh the risk. But remember backup first (although i never did). Haha

Still finding time to backup my phone before flashing xposed.

BTW, what custom recovery do you normally use? CWM or TWRP? I used to be using CWM for a long time but recently I tried TWRP and find it much better.

I have been using Philz version of CWM for a long time on all my Samsung devices (S3, N3 and now N5). For N3, you can flash latest Philz CWM or TWRP from Rashr app (Play store).

I don't like TWRP GUI, prefer the old traditional recovery look
