Are the any major differences...more/less bugs, smoothness, performance...i.e. real world stuff difference, not just what is on paper. I am about ready to try 4.4. I am seeing a good bit of bugs (crashes) with the 4.3 version.
Well DC, keep in mind that few people will come in here and post things like "Hi! I rooted & ROMmed my Note 3 and everything works great!" No, most posters here have issues that need resolved.
So if it's just the handful of us posting, that's not because we're the only ones with rooted Note 3s... it's that we're the lucky few with problems
Well, I guess I'm comparing it to the old Galaxy Nexus forum...we had tons of people in there all the time...not like that in the Note 3 forum.
Back to a question about Hyperdrive RSL8. Is the biggest then to just boot into SafeStrap from the boot up menu?
Is there really any difference in anything in the ROM slots? Other than Hyperdrive RSL8 only running in stock slot...I assume there are no differences in the slots?
DC you can always Odin back to 4.3 if you don't like 4.4.
Pretty sure the Reboot to Recovery in H7 still crashed the device as I am pretty sure I tried doing this once
Also Rec, from what I have seen the battery life is a lot better, as well as the device just looks a lot better, the toggles look cleaner in my opinion ( i think they changed ).
Otherwise, I was hoping that someone could tell me, I planned on updating to the 4.4 ROMs, but was wondering if I should update safestrap first...then install the 4.4 ROM or vice versa?
Thanks guys
Hey I responded on the other thread: http://androidforums.com/verizon-ga...t/852065-updating-4-4-4-3-already-rooted.html
Odin worked on my old and very slow XP netbook. Just took a little longer. I would recommend having stock .tar files before trying anything. I got it from SAMMOBILE. It's gonna be an overnight download. YouTube and XDA (via Google search) on how to flash with Odin.
It is time consuming, and a real pain, but it's your get-out-of-jail - free card.
If I go to slot 0, go into safestrap app to deactivate it, then use supersu unroot, then unfreeze frozen updater (i forget what it's called), can I then accept the vzw official update, root with the new method, install the new safestrap, back up the stock rom, then install newest Hyperdrive.... Will all that work? Anything I should do differently? I'm unsure about the unroot part especially.
I know about the unlocked 4.4 update for root but it isn't really the same as stock vzw 4.4
Gotta have root! I wanted to try the rooted stock version because Ive read better reviews than the ruu. Also switching to stock would have saved me the trouble of the multistep process to install the ruu. I didn't realize there were big problems with towelroot. Initial reports were excellent. Anyway, if I sell me phone I would just be looking for the easiest way to go 100% stock. Warranty is up so I don't see why the buyer would care if the root counter is tripped although so far mine is not. I was determined to stick with 4.3 but virtually everyone I chat with about it acts like I'm nuts!
