Get Unofficial CM 13 on Galaxy Note 3 by Temasek

Here is another CM 13 ROM for the Galaxy Note 3 based on the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow firmware. The ROM is based on the Temasek’s source for the CyanogenMod 13 released for the Galaxy Note 3. This is an unofficial release and users may expect some bugs. Currently, the NFC bug persists and should be solved in the upcoming updates.

The CM 13 ROM is available for the hlte and hltspr variants only and the release for hltevzw variant should be expected soon. Once you flash the ROM and Gapps, flash the SuperSU package in order to gain root access. The Temasek’s CM 13 ROM requires some kernel settings that will make the device lag free and battery optimized. Take a look at the recommended kernel settings from this page. It is not recommended to fix permissions. It may cause bootloop.

In order to install the ROM, you will need to setup the latest TWRP or Philz CWM custom recovery onto your device. Once a recovery is a setup, download the necessary files and flash them right away. Make sure you backup everything before you proceed, like the apps, data, documents and everything on the internal storage, just in case anything goes wrong.

For the latest updates stay tuned and let’s begin with the tutorial.
