The Galaxy Note 3 is, undoubtedly, the best phablet in the market right now. Samsung has managed to fill the Note 3 to the brim which includes a Snapdragon S800 processor and a 5.7-inch Full HD SAMOLED display, while keeping the dimensions same as its predecessor.

The only chunk in the Note 3’s armor is TouchWIZ, which looks very ugly and has kept many people from buying the device. However, as always, it is just a matter of time before CyanogenMod releases a working CM build for the Note 3 to bring you an AOSP experience on the device.

That day might just arrive sooner than you expected as Shareef Ali, a CM member, has already uploaded a picture on Google Plus which shows the Note 3 running CyanogenMod. Shareef was also responsible for bringing CyanogenMod to the Galaxy S4, and has continued his excellent work with the Note 3.

If you own a Galaxy Note 3 and are interested in running CyanogenMod on your device, better start lurking on XDA forums. An alpha or beta build for your device should be available sometime soon.

Keep in mind that the picture above shows the N9005 variant of the Note 3, and not the Exynos variant. Considering how closed source the Exynos platform is, do not expect a stable CM build for your device to be available anytime soon.
