Hi everyone,
I have extensive PC knowledge and have been in the computer repair industry for years. I do not, however, have hardly any experience with Android devices beyond daily use.
I purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A (AT&T), which was previously unlocked. The phone is now under service with MetroPCS.
When I first boot by phone, it shows a quick screen with a picture of a padlock, which is UNLOCKED, and the word "Custom."
So, I was reading up on Cyanogenmod, but everything that I can find about it says that it is unable to be used with the AT&T version of the phone. I was going to follow this guide a guide from the CM wiki page but as you can see it says that I shouldn't try.
Most of the info I found was from early or mid 2014. Now that it is nearing the end of 2015, has anything changed?
If I cannot use CM, what ROM would you all recommend? My main reasons for installing a ROM are:
-A Spartan design. I like everything very clean, very minimalistic, with no fuss.
-Saving battery life
-Getting rid of all the bloatware and AT&T **** on my phone which doesn't even work because I'm on MetroPCS
-Customization (does this have to even be listed?)
-Phone as a hotspot without paying MetroPCS a month
I am basically a complete noob when it comes to Android modding. I rooted an old Avid ZTE I had, but never did anything else with it and that is as far as my knowledge goes.
If anyone would be so kind as to recommend a ROM, and link a guide for installation that I can follow, I would be very grateful. Who knows, I might end up becoming a regular poster here.
