Ok, since the old thread was plagued with paid roms, and it got archived unfortunately, I'm creating a new thread. Let's keep this healthy and clean so the information we post here wont get removed and will help more people in the long run shall we?
Update: May 3, 2014 - Added fix for Caller ID issue!
Update: May 1, 2014 - Added instructions to turn off Google Account Manager after setting up a Google Account
Update: April 9, 2014 - Added instructions to install super su after flashing new firmware and rooting.

How to Install/Flash Google Apps on Galaxy Note 3 N9002:
http://marrkdaviid.com/2013/10/install-google-play-on-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9002/#.UsRALJYYYuo
** Please note that if you are using windows 7 to root the device using cf autoroot as instructed in the link above, you will encounter an error halfway thru the flashing process. You need to run odin 1.85 as windows xp to remedy this.
** Please note that after rooting and flashing google apps thru cwm, you will still have root access but the super su app may get lost. If that happens, please install super su from the google play store and everything will be back to normal. - thanks bigstuart for pointing that out
To fix the gapps error we see everytime we turn on the sync shortcut from the pulldown notification bar:
After setting up your google account, go to the settings menu and turn off the google bookmarks sync app. This will fix the google services has stopped error message.
To fix the google account dropping out (having to set up your google account again) turn off the google account manager app from the settings menu. Three users have confirmed this has fixed the issue.
BigStuart was able to finally find a way to fix our caller ID issue. Here's how to get it done:
Edit /system/csc/others.xml
change
Code:
<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>11</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>
to
Code:
<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>-1</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>
and add the following line:
Code:
<CscFeature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim>TRUE</CscFeature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim>
I added that line at the end of the file, before the closing </SamsungMobileFeature> tag.
Then reboot the phone and test caller ID
Lastly, enjoy your dual sim flagship device

I could Help ? Say Thanks
n9002
thanks for making a new thread... am really interested in the n9002 but having second thoughts that i have to root it and it will have no samsung warranty. can i ask those who are using it now... (will use it if ever in the philippines)
1. once rooted and google play install do one need to root again if you hard reset your unit?
2. does rooting trip knox?
3. is there much chinese bloatware that you cannot delete?
4. problems encountered the unit being released only in china?
Am in philippines, note 3 dual sim. Without root when i tried install google play knox is tripped. I rooted and running google full service now. Excellent phone buy it

Good thinking on this Thread. The archived thread had some links to removing bloatware and dealing with issues like changing CSC. Wish they didn't delete it. Now we have to re-search and save them all over again.

1. once rooted and google play install do one need to root again if you hard reset your unit?
Shouldn't. I have rooted using RDLV and have reset w/o loosing root.
2. does rooting trip knox?
It did on mine. But there seems to be some who have done it without tripping Knox. Check the forum.
3. is there much chinese bloatware that you cannot delete?
Once you root you can remove almost everything. Search the forum for a list of prog you can safely delete.
4. problems encountered the unit being released only in china?
None really. You can add Google apps, ie Play, Mail, Hangouts, Calendar. If you change the CSC settings, you will be able to set your default search, calender, etc. But read up on how to do that first, you need to back up as it will cause a reboot and loss of data.

Who gives a crap about knox anyway? This is a phone from China, if you will import it to another country, it will not have local warranty. You are not gonna send it to China if ever you need it repaired right? So go ahead and root, flash google apps, and remove all those chinese crapwares.
Im driving right now, but if needed still, i will post a link for a guide on how to do the basics in turning the n9002 to something as close as possible to n9005.

What, the last one got archived!? It was a bit long but got me off to a start and the RIP made it even better. Anyway, I best not mention that.
Well I have checked back because today I just added my 2nd sim. That's 1 Unicom, and 1 China Mobile (some westerners do live in China). It's working and the beauty is: Unicom's data seems good, but China Mobile 's national and international call rates seem better.
I am still interested in getting the best out of my N9002. I am still having a few issues and it's hard to know if they are ROM based or other. Anyway, minor issues, this phone is the best I have owned.

What kind of issues are you getting? I am on stock (mk1) firmware, perhaps we can compare what were experiencing so we can determine if its rom related or not.

Remember is theee are gapps error it usually means the app u running must be uninstalled and reinstall as it could have the old xaxhe prior to installing google.

Fellow dual sim note 3 users, now that samsung's 4.4 update is right around the corner, i am starting to look around how we can get the 4.4 update working on our phones.
Im thinking once samsung releases the 4.4 firmware, it will be on sammobile for sure. I will download and flash it on my phone. Naturally, i will lose root, and google apps. I will have to root and flash google apps again. Question is, where are we going to get the 4.4 gapps package? I found this site and it also contains the 4.3 gapps that was listed in mark daviid's method:

What do you guys think?

Great idea. What is your current setup on your phone? I am on ZNUDMK1 Rom ZNUDMJ6 Baseband, rooted using RDLV, 4.3, Gapps installed, but I hear that the new ROM's have made it impossible to root for now.
Will it be worth while to do the 4.4 update?
Could someone miraclously discover how to enable lte? Maybe possible?

Im on mk1 rom and mj6 baseband too. I rooted using cf autoroot and flashed gapps 4.3 thru odin. Yes, its impossible to root the newer roms now without tripping knox. Cf autoroot still works but it trips knox - which i couldnt care less about anyway.
I will definitely upgrade to 4.4. I think the android runtime is really something to look forward to.

Good for you!! I agree, screw KNOX, mine is tripped too but I use Wanam Xposed. I installed my gapps using ADB and remounting System. Did it the hard way, should have thought about odin!!
Post your experience when 4.4 comes out, lots of lurkers and people will want to know!! Good luck!!:good:
Thanks I just wish there will be other people who will try as I am pretty much noob to android and if I screw up, I may get myself in big trouble. Lol!
I will post updates as soon as I get this beast upgraded.

Devices:
Xiaomi Mi5 (Gemini) running Android 7.1.2 (RR ROM) Rooted using Magisk 13.3
Samsung Gear S2 SM-R720 running Tizen 2.3.2.2
Downloading free apps from the Samsung Gear app is working great.
But when I try to purchase a paid app I get the following error:
"Attention*
Failed to complete the purchase. Your payment has been canceled or the verification has failed.*
(error: FAIL_GET_DOWNLOAD_URL/5100)"
I'm sure my credit card details are correct and working.
I tried to remove the credit card and add it back, no help.
Tried to remove Samsung Account and add it back, no help.
Tried to uninstall and reinstall the app and.. no help.
I tried to use Magisk Hide on every Samsung app, no help.
Tried to purchase apps using my friend's OnePlus 5, no help
I contacted Samsung twice about the problem and they really didn't help at all
I really hope someone here will be able to help me..
Thanks a lot in advance

You probably need to purchase from a Samsung device using your Samsung account...

Then I'll be able to download it on my device?
And are you sure you can only purchase apps using Samsung phones..?

Anyway I'll try that out with a friend's phone.
Thanks a lot for you help! [emoji1]

Did you resolve this issue. I am seeing the same problem on my Mi6. It used to work fine on my nexus 5.
Sorry if this question is quiet irrelevant to the section
But there is a new Galaxy skin in fortnite just for Note 9 and Tab S4 users
is there anyway to fool how they check the device version so I can appear to them as note 9 users instead of s8+ So I can take the skin without having to pay a 1000$ Mobile

If you have root, you can change /system/build.prop to spoof your S8+ as a Note 9. The problem is, no one knows the codename for the Note 9 (Although it is rumoured to be "crownlte" and "SM-N960F"). Even people who have gotten their hands on Note 9s early can't get the skin on their account until official release. That's probably when it should work.

I play Fortnite with my rooted S8. In essence what you need to do is disable USB debugging and use Magisk hide on the Fortnite app and installer, then hide Magisk Manager and use Magisk core. (Delete the MagiskManager folder in internal storage if necessary). And that's how you play Fortnite with root.

Hi,
So both my mum & dad have Mi 5S devices and we have a few issues...
1. My mums phone doesn't work very well with her Fitbit App, I've tried all of the suggestions on Fitbit forums and even on XDA forums with battery settings, permissions and what not but none of it helps.
2. My Dads phone cant sync his contacts down / up to Google.
3. My Dad's phone doesn't pass safetynet, yet my mums does...
There are subtle differences all across the phones, different font styles/sizes and slightly different layouts because one is running the Global ROM and one is running the Stable ROM...
We would like to root them both and flash them on to a new ROM, probably the "Pixel Experience" ROM as then their phones will look way more like my Pixel 2 XL and my brothers Pixel 3.
We want to be able to pass safetynet so I guess if we root with Magisk we'd have to use magiskhide & the module for build props safetynet spoofing.
I've checked the guides subforum but there isn't any for the Mi 5S Plus on how to unlock, root and flash a new ROM...
Any advice would be very welcome!
