Root [Verizon] ROM - HyperDrive RLS3

This is my daily driver right now. I have my rooted stock ROM, and this is in slot 1 on safe strap. Works great!

Me too, been using it since it came out. I see there are a couple of others available now. But honestly, this one works great, is stable and I can't seem to pull myslef away from a ROM when it does everything I need. Even when other proven Dev's put out good ROM's, I always seem to come back to the first one I tried, I'm a creature of habit I think. :D

How do you install it? I'm new to twrp. I downloaded the rom to the card rebooted in recover. Selected slot 2. Did a factory reset (which included the caches I guess) clicked install rom then it instantly failed. I'm use to cwm recovery. Thanks in advance.

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP THE STOCK ROM! It's vital to have a fallback position!

Okay Eclipsed, I selected my slot, set up the slot with memory limits (3 GB, 3 GB, 500 MB, and rebooted BACK into Recovery just to be safe. Still in that slot, Wipe, Advanced Wipe, and wipe data, cache and Davik. Then install the ROM and reboot system.

Make double sure your ROM is for the Verizon Galaxy Note 3. And also check the MD5 checksum to verify it was a good download.

That first boot-up will take a LONG, LONG time. Be patient and you'll get there. If you still have trouble, we're right here to help :)

I have notified the developers of a rather persistent bug in my ROM. Can you duplicate it?

Each time I go to:

Settings --> Hyperdrive Tweaks --> User Interface --> Additional Toggles

the phone reboots. Waiting on word back from the devs on this.

Overall, a brilliant ROM! I love it! I can see a donation headed their way in short order :)

Found an answer Chief.
When you click the enable extra toggles button in hyperdrive tweaks it reboots and adds the extra toggles. If you click it again.. It reboots and disables the extra toggles. Either way, as soon as you click it, the phone reboots.
When you are back in, pull down the notification panel. If the torch button is there, the extra toggles are active. If not, then go click it again in hyperdrive tweaks.
Once you have the torch toggle showing up, then go into your phone settings to device and then the notification panel menu. Here you can reorder which toggles appear on your panel.
Let us know if that works for you.

Hey folks, is there a trick to making Wanam Xposed work?

I set the phone to mark as OFFICIAL on the boot screen, along with some other different things and rebooted. STILL shows CUSTOM and none of my settings took. What else is needed to make this thing cooperate?

:thinking:


EDIT: Okay, I had some modules missing or needing update. No problem :)

Some of the settings I have found you have to try them a couple of times.. Check them then reboot.. Then unchecked and reboot..and then check them and reboot. Sometimes they just don't take. I am only finding that some of them don't take on this ROM slot.. Because they take on my stock ROM with wanam... Still not sure why. Let us know if you figure something out. Meanwhile I will keep trying too.
