Hey all,
I am looking around this forum and I see a ton of ROMs. I am a little confused about what Unified means. Does that mean any ROM should work on any Note 3? Or do I have to make sure it says hlte somewhere in the description? (I have the Sprint variant). So many ROMs to try, just want to avoid problems. Thanks!

CyanogenMod has de-unified their builds. Branching into hlte - hltespr and hltevzw. I don't know if this is also the case with TW-based ROMS. Better read carefully the instructions or better yet just browse through Galaxy Note 3 Sprint section of xda dev. You should find everything that's compatible with your device there.

Originally CyanogenMod had seperate builds of Note 3 CM ROMs, but then they decided to merge all model specific CM's together to make "hlte". This is their so-called "unified build".
"hlte" is the Note 3, however there's no such thing as "hlte", as models are classified as "hltexx" (N9005), "hltespr" (N900V), "hltevzw" (N900S), "hltecan" (N900W8), "hltetmo" (N900T), "hlteatt" (N900A). As they all have the abbreviation "hlte", CM took those four letters out and created a build that works for all variants (if applicable on the device).
When the de-unified their builds, they created an "hlte" build but for the specific device that fits it's drivers and set up. I believe they did this in order to stabilize their builds. When they unified them all, I read somewhere that the video drivers caused issues leading to random reboots - even if this isn't so, unification and sharing of common drivers isn't always the best, you would want model specific drivers to take full advantage of your device, and to eliminate common problems that appear on different models of the device.

Only for CM and not TW.

I am planning on building CM11 for my device which is a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (hltespr, SM-N900P). I am aware that there are nightly builds that I can flash, but I want to build it manually for the educational aspect.
From what I have read, the repository hlte (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_hlte) is the repository for the SG Note 3, but I am wondering how this works for the different carriers.
If I build and flash that version unmodified will it work, or do I need to make modifications to that to make it specific to the hltespr?
I can't seem to find a solid guide that is specific to any device, just the SG Note 3 in general.
If I am way off or all over the place, or if this is completely obvious I apologize, and I thank you for any help you offer.

this is my first non-carrier phone to own. from reading around the General Discussion and Q&A sections, i'm pretty confused.
what kind of info or terms should i know about for this phone in the world of rooting?
for example, a bit of background on myself (and the "need to know" on my past phones).
i had an AT&T Galaxy S3 (d2att/d2lte) for a long while. i rooted it almost instantly with Odin. installed CWM and kept it updated ever since. at first you could only flash TW-based ROMs up to 4.2.2, unless you upgraded to an MJB bootloader and modem then TW-based 4.3+ was flashable.
then i had an AT&T Galaxy S4 (jflteatt/jflte) for a really short while. found out it had a locked bootloader, i used Towelroot to obtain root, but not have a "full" custom recovery, and instead use SafeStrap Recovery (an APK) that flashed ROMs but not the kernel (or something like that?).
* now i have an N900, with TWRP installed. am i restricted only to this section of android development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/galaxy-note-3-exynos-android-development
* what about these sections?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/orig-development
* if i wanted to flash CM11, is this model referred to as the "hlte"?
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
* should i stay away from automatic updates? is there something in Titanium Backup that i should freeze?
and i'm sure i have more questions. but can't think of any right now.

You have a ha3g model as its called. DO NOT try to use non exynos specific roms, kernels, or recoveries.
As for the rest, it's up to you.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.4 powered stock 4.4.2 (NF1) SM-N900T
that explains that. so in regard to sections, guess i'm stuck with just this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/galaxy-note-3-exynos-android-development
also, i didn't see "ha3g" listed on CM's website:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
and. in regard to my past phones, bootloaders were a big hassle when new ones came out.
is there anything right now i should be aware of?

N900 does not have CM support as of yet. Do not try any of those ROMs. You are restricted to only the Exynos Android Development forums as of now.
dang that sucks. from looking over in the Exynos Development section, i don't see any AOSP-based ROMs. (just TW-based)
so AOKP, PA, and Liquid Smooth don't have any ROMs for the N900?
and so is there any need to know info on bootloaders?

You are restricted to TW ROMs.
There is a bootloader that can reset your KNOX, but that's it. Check out the KNOX thread in Galaxy Note 3 Developer Discussion.
I have been into modding my SM-S820L for a few months now and although I have found an unofficial TWRP release and a few stock ROM's from various sources, I have never seen any type of CyannogenMod ROM or other custom ROM for this phone.
Also I have been wondering about compatibility between some of the other Samsung Galaxy Core Prime models or similar Samsung phone in general. Would it be plausible that a ROM for say SM-G360T would run on an SM-S820L????
I would love it if anyone knows about compatibility between the SM-S820L and other Samsung Galaxy phone's firmware and custom recovery releases and is willing to share the knowledge would post here with some advice.:laugh::good:
Sm s820l
I'm in the same boat as you, there's just not much out there, a new rom was posted on area51 but it wasn't much different, just got rid of bloatware as far as I could tell. I look at it like it's a cheap phone, and as far as custom roms and such, it's just not popular or not favored. I've spent hours searching, nothing out there but malicious websites lol. I'll keep you in mind if I come across something.
Head over to NEEDROM. I built a modified ROM from the Stock firmware for the SM-S820L.
Here is my post!!!
CM, PAC, etc, ROMs for other variants of the Core Prime definitely aren't compatible with the 820L variant? Nothing available but stock-based ROMs?
As far as I have found on the Net, and I have searched for countless hours, I havent found any truly custom ROMs from CM or any other ROM makers. All of my modded ROMs and Kernels are just modified stock files. I havent heard of the other SM- variants being compatible with the SM-S820L but if you ever do find info that certain ROMs work with this model, please post here or shoot me a PM.
I would be uber happy to finally flash something like a Cyanogen Mod ROM

An acquaintance of mine just got a Core Prime, so I was looking for info to root and ROM his phone. If you, someone who's actively been looking for the info hasn't found anything yet, it's pretty unlikely that I will. Looks like he just had the crummy luck of ending up with the variant that doesn't have much dev support. Thanks for the reply, though. People over in the SPH-L720 section don't tend to be nearly so helpful.

Is his Core Prime model SM-S820L? If so, I remember using Kingroot to root and then SuperSu Me to remove Kingroot and retain root. You can find SuperSu Me in the Aptoide app store.
After I rooted my phone, I installed TWRP with ODIN3. You do need to have the Samsung Drivers setup and Kies3 installed to have all needed drivers in order to use ODIN3 in your phone's download(ODIN) mode.
Question: who here would like an official lineageOS Nougat build for all variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4?
Just want to see if its worth the devs time if there are any devs out there that will maintain this device.

There are already several Nougats builds for F/G/V variants in the Devs threads mate and many users are using/testing them. I'm not sure that you will get any "No" in your poll

But are they official? and what about other variants? What I'm asking is an official all-in-one universal that supports all of the variants.
Im sure theres more then 4 people and myself who would like an official build. Kinda sounds like your comments just make this poll bad and thats why only 4 people and myself voted. Your post makes it sound they they are official when not.
My note 4 is only 7 months old and was Manufactured August 2015 so this device is not really 2 years old and As Samsung was making them still in half way through 2015. Am i the only one who loves this device more then any newest samsung devices? I mean it beats the note 1,2.3,5,6,7 and also s models.
A unified build is planned: [DEV][trlte] Unified LineageOS device tree for Snapdragon Note4.
In the meantime, see my signature for daily builds of 4 trlte variants, which correspond to 7 model variants.
Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 and I am considering installing LineageOs on it.
It would be the first time I root my phone but I'm very interested to learn about all this
It's model is GT-I9505, but I only seem to be able to find a LineageOs version for the GT-I9506 now I was wondering, can't I just install the LineageOs build for GT-I9506 on my device?
If not, why? And what's the difference between the two different S4 models?
I hope I put this in the right place...
Thanks in advance!
Different hardware.
If you install it, then your phone will become a plastic brick, unable to boot and, thus, useless.
Do you want that? I don't think so.
I don't know where you looked for ROMs, but this forum contains several LineageOS and LineageOS based ROMs for the GT-I9505. There are two development sections for the GT-I9505, how about looking at them?

Why give a link to an unofficial portal that can't even get the supported phone models correct?
There is no need to link off-site, XDA has everything you need as @Pwnycorn suggests.
2 * basic ports:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-cyanogenmod-14-1-to-galaxy-s4-i9505-t3520456
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-lineageos-nightly-builds-t3530822
Optimised port:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p/jdcteam-optimized-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3479888
The OP asked for a link and didn't specify an XDA link. I see the basic port links are for unofficial ROMs. Does a link that is not on XDA make it any less stable or usable?

The site you linked suggests that the ROM works on all S4 models (I9500, I9505, I9506), which is obviously wrong.
Now, maybe at some point in that tutorial it links to specific zips for each model and maybe I didn't see it? I don't know, may be. I failed to see it.
I thought the builds for the s4 Qualcomm versions (9505, 337m, etc.) were unified at some point and are collectively referred to as the jfltexx. The links take me to androidfilehost with files for the jfltexx.
I agree that the 9500 should not be included, but the 9505 and 337m are included.
As a test, I flashed TWRP for the 9505 to my i337m and downloaded the latest ROM from the site I linked. I flashed both to the i337m and it works.
Some people may feel more comfortable limiting themselves to XDA links and forums but I am fine with non-XDA links and non-XDA developer forums too.
I'm not looking to start any sort of debate; I was simply trying to provide the OP with some information and easy-to-follow instructions.
