The post Download Note 3 TWRP for flashing custom ROMs appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

Team win has released latest version of TWRP for Galaxy Note 3. You can download Note 3 TWRP from the link given at the bottom of this page. The TWRP is the most popular custom recovery and many prefer it over CWM as it allows users to interact via touchscreen.

In this Note 3 TWRP you can use onscreen keyboard to input data. In other words it is a must have if you are into flashing custom ROMs. Samsung is really sluggish in pushing firmware update.

This Note 3 TWRP also allows you to backup and restore partitions. Also after some time you may get bored of the user interface but don’t fret as you will be able to easily skin with bucketful of TWRP themes available online.

The post UAG Scout Review for Galaxy Note 3 appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

This is a case review of Scout case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it for the Urban Armor Gear. I picked this up few days ago and have been using it since then. UAG cases normally has good reviews and this one is no exception. I bought the Urban Armor Scout Note 3 case from Urban Armor’s website. The case retails for $ 34.95 and that includes free shipping via USPS.

The packaging is really good. UAG makes a lot of cases for lot of different phones so they have same packaging for iPhones, HTC phones and Samsung phones. The packaging includes a screen protector, cleaning cloth and the case.

Made of high quality TPU

The UAG Scout is made from TPU on the inside. For those who do not know about TPU – it is not cheap silicon that you find in most cheap cases. Such cases pick up dirt easily and look really bad after few days of use.

On the outside, there is hard plastic with a big UAG logo which looks pretty cool. The detail on this case is really remarkable. The fake rivets gives it a rugged look.

On the sides, there are honeycomb cutouts and it will give you just enough grip to hold on to the phone. The cutouts are really nice. Sleep / power and volume buttons are covered. Buttons are not stiff and make clicky sound which is nice.

A lot of people think that is a UAG Scout is a two piece case but it is not. It is all fused together into one solid piece. All you have to do is take your phone and guide it into the case.

Rugged protection

It adds extra protection on the sides. So if you drop from, say like 6 or 7 feet, it will protect the display from getting scratched or messed up. There is a little lip on the corners of back side that protects the camera, back of the case from getting scratched.

Verdict

The UAG Scout for Galaxy Note 3 does not add a lot of bulk. I have medium hands and I have no problem in gripping this case. It is a great case and does not cost a lot of money. Feel free to check out UAG case collection at urbanarmorgear.com

The post Download Android 5 lollipop for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE version appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

Samsung may take a while to release Android 5 Lollipop for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE version but the folks at XDA have released a ROM that brings all the lollipop features and build to it. To install it, you must have TWRP on Note 10.1 2014 and then reboot into recovery. Go into wipe menu. Select "Advanced Wipe". Check Dalvik Cache, System, Cache and Data.

Then go into install Flash aosp-2015XXXX-lt03lte.zip, followed by GAPPS.zip and then SuperSU.zip to get root. Reboot and copy SuperSu and Gapps zip to /sdcard/OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate so that they are automatically applied after OTA update. In case Internal Storage not shown, type the following commands in AWB:

If you are looking for plain touch wiz free experience, then we suggest trying the Cyananogen Mod 12.1 on Note 10.1 2014 which is also great for general use.

The post Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Rooted Firmware lets you underclock overclock appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

A new ROM on xda developers has surfaced that lets you attain root by flashing a pre rooted firmware. It is based on official Samsung Galaxy Note 5 source N920CXXU1AOGE and is compiled with Google ARM Toolchain GCC 4.9. It roots the system automatically and installs busybox as well. Of course this voids the warranty as it bumps knox counter to ‘1’. It also lets you overclock underclock Galaxy Note 5 as it install a custom kernel that lets you do it. It works only on the SM-N920 variant of Galaxy Note 5.

* SELinux PERMISSIVE  (for Titanium Backup and other apps to work correctly)
* adb insecure
* init.d script support (drop in script & set permissions to 755 or 777 and reboot)
* Possible Screen Mirroring / AllShare Cast fix
* Secure storage = false (should prevent WIFI settings & passwords wiping on flash)
* Synapse app support for many kernel configurations

The post Download Galaxy Note 5 Deodexed ROM appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

A lot of people have been waiting for deodexed firmware that was based on the stock ROM and it is finally here. It is pretty much a bug less ROM but developer notes that tuiService crashes after boot which is just a minor issue and should not interface with normal usage.

The post Tech Armor Active Power 6000 Review, Excellent Accessory for mobile and tablets appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

Mobile power banks have been around from quite some time but seldom do you find a quality mobile power bank that works reliably and packs adequate amount of charge. Also if it offers fast charging feature, that is even better. Today we are reviewing Tech Armor Active Power 6000 which ticks all of the requirements and more.

The body of Tech Armor Active Power 6000 is covered mostly with soft rubbery material that is great to touch. It is non-slippery and bears a matte finish. On the front of this mobile power bank, you’ll find two USB ports and a flashlight LED.

The two ports allows one to charge two devices at same time. One offers fast recharge feature that is offered by many phones and tablets. So I used the fast charging port to check if my Galaxy Note 3 was indeed charging at faster rate and yes, it was – I double checked it using a free app from play store which shows the charging speed.

On the right side, you’ll find a micro USB port which is used for charging the Tech Armor Active Power 6000 mobile power bank. You can use the included cable or any micro USB charger to top it up.

On the left side is a power button which shows you the amount of juice remaining on the small LED present on top. It is handy as you can plan when to charge it.

The Tech Armor Active Power 6000 has 6000mAh which means you can charge your Galaxy Note phone or any phone at least twice. If you a tablet user, you would still be able to charge it fully at least once.

Tech Armor Active Power 6000 is not very heavy. Infact, it is light enough to be carried around. Its manufacture offers whopping two years of warranty on it and it comes with excellent packaging. The customer support is excellent as it is an American company.

Verdict – whether your phone has good battery life or not, you will want to have Tech Armor Active Power 6000 in your bag. It will top off your phone’s or tablet’s battery in no time and you’ll be able to work / play more on your devices.  Visit Techarmor.com for more information.

The post ChoeTech wireless fast charger T511-S Review for Galaxy Note 5 appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

Normally, wireless chargers are tad slow for charging my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but the ChoeTech wireless fast charger T511-S is going to change all that. It promises to charge your device as fast as a wired quick charge 2.0 charger but it does it wirelessly which is nice.

Shown below in the following picture is my LG V10 as I took my Galaxy Note 5 to take this picture. When you place your smartphone on ChoeTech wireless fast charger T511-S, the LED on the charger will glow green to show that it is charging the device. This also shows that quick charging is being done. You can buy it for mere $24 on amazon.

It might glow blue if the phone is not doing fast charging. I love the build quality and its ergonomic design. I also like how thin and light it is. It still holds its place nicely as it has sticky pads that ensure it doesn’t slide around.

* Universal Compatibility: two models for wireless charging: (1)Fast Charge Model(Output 10W Max) for your Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+, (2)Standard Charge Model(Output 5W Max) for your standard QI enabled device like S6,S6 Edge

* It’s normal for the pad and phone get warm slightly during inductive charging, and they may get even warmer, if you use your phone during charging, for example using GPS or playing games, music etc. Its usage is very simple, what you need to do is just putting the charging machine with QI-marked in the charging area, then it will start to charging persistently.

* You will find it a good solution for your convenient digital life.Please read the User Manual carefully before use.Some of the smartphone need an extra receiver module such as Samsung Galaxy

The only thing not to like about it is that if you do not center your Galaxy Note 5 or any other smartphone, it will not charge it. You ought to place it horizontally.

The post Download Galaxy Note 2 Android 6 Marshmallow ROM appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

Samsung might have abandoned the Galaxy Note 2 N7100 users on Android 4.4.2 but spirits are still high at XDA whose developers have released Cyanogen Mod 13 for the N7100 that brings Android 6 Marshmallow to the Note 2. Fortunately, everything is working which is a great thing.

Install the ROM (download link) using Note 2 custom recovery like TWRP or CWM and then install gapps. Gapps are not included in the ROM so it is suggested you install it yourself. You can grab the packages from here.

You can now root SM-N920 version of Samsung Galaxy Note 5. For this you require TWRP Note 5 custom recovery and one of these models, SM-N920C / CD / G / I, SM-N9200 and SM-N9208_SEA. I have been told that SM-N9208_TW works as well but I have not tested it. Rooting instructions are given below.

1. If you have systemless root installed, then you must REMOVE it as this kernel will auto-root a proven and stable 2.52 binary into system.
   

   Open SuperSU app
   Select "Full unroot" option
   Reboot (or flash kernel)
   Re-install SuperSU app

2. Uninstall any CPU control apps, tweaks and init.d scripts etc.
3. Recommend: Disable or remove KNOX (you can disable with Synapse once kernel is flashed)
4. Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
5. Device Settings:
   

   Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK
   If flashing from any custom kernel with Synapse app > Device settings > Applications > Synapse > Force Stop > clear data

6. If not installed > Install SuperSU from Google Play:
7. N9200/N9208: unlock your bootloader >> Install and run CROM service unlock app from Galaxy App Store (this will probably wipe your accounts). If you have problems with CROM, try without it !
8. Boot into custom recovery and flash SkyHigh_kernel____.zip FOR YOUR DEVICE and reboot
9. After boot:
   a) wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
   b) Open Synapse
   c) Tap "Understood"
   d) DO this step so some defaults are set !!
   

   1. tap the square menu button top right hand corner
   2. tap the three dots button
   3. "select all globally"
   4. tap the back button next to it
   5. apply

It is recommended that you download and use this tool as messing around with Note 5 custom ROMs can do some damage on your expensive android phone.

The post Note 5 ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 appeared first on Galaxynotenews.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is an amazing android phone but most of the Note 4 users might stick onto their devices for couple of more years before they upgrade. But at the same time, you would not want to miss features that Note 5 folks are enjoying on their devices and to counter that problem, xda developers has ported Note 5 ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 4. This is made for the N910F model of Note 4 snapdragon variant but you can use it on N910G, N910W8, N910T and N910T3 if you flash their bootloader and modem. . There are two version of the ported Note 5 ROM for Note 4: light and heavy. Light one is debloated. Here are the installation instructions:

* Make sure your bootloader and modem match the ROM base (N910F). So we suggest updating the bootloader and modem. For other snapdragon variant download them from here.

• N910G Modems and Bootloaders
• N910W8 Modems and Bootloaders
• N910T Modems and Bootloaders
• N910T3 Modems and Bootloaders

* You must also have a Note 4 custom recovery (TWRP is advised).
* Download the ROM (Light or Heavy)
* Download any bloat-ware you require
* Make a back-up (nandroid)
* Perform a factory reset
* Flash the ROM.zip then the bloatware.zip
* Reboot, this can take a while after a clean install.
