Over the last month I have been working with developer m1cha to port EFIDROID to the t-mobile Note 3. Theoretically works with all Note 3 versions. (Exynos versions may need a separate port)

Features:
Aroma style menu @m1cha who recently ported this just this December
Fastboot? Yes, fastboot. Will need to tweak to remove things from stock fastboot, as they contain options that our phone doesn’t have. Such as "unlock" options. They may possibly brick the phones.
EFI boot enviroment! This is the true and only goal of EFIDROID. The rest are side effects due to using Little Kernel as the preboot bootloader that will boot into TRUE EFIDROID mode
Multiboot : Multi kernel / system / cache ect

To do before release:
Enable display : So far, I am only working on the S6E3AF0 display panel. Each panel needs a separate DTSI port.
Add touchscreen support
Properly emulate multiple partitions using pre allocated files for multiple /system /data /cache ect
Enable HS400 speed for emmc. (Due to instant reboot / no assert / bug, we have disabled HS400, and used HS200 instead)

Help:
If you are VERY familiar with DTSI / gcbd / header.h style display panel drivers your assistance is highly required to finish porting our devices display panels.
Once that is done, work will start with GPIO / touchscreen. (Will need help with that as well)
I have started a dtsi -> header.h style driver parser to automatically port our panels, but I need 1 working setup, the rest wont have to be hand coded!
