I have been out of the country alot lately and have lost track of what are the good rom for this phone due to lack of time to read and not able to flash because I have to have my phone working. I am still running cleanrom 4.5, I have loved using scotts roms for years!
Looking for some suggestions on few I should try. I don't need to much fancy stuff i use my phone mostly for email and web browsing and a few hardware control apps.
It must be able to work international with a local sim. I know i am not on the official vzw international rom but have got it functioning and haven't wanted to break that.
Any pointers will be great to have thanks!

Update to the global ruu and root it if you don't want to much jazz

Well I like it to be set up and customized i just don't like it all VZW bloated or over app'ed. That is why i love scotts "clean roms"
Try Vigor360, it's like CleanROM on global firmware.
ineffibalis is also based on the newest RUU with a very nice aroma installation. I just switched and really liking it
Thanks for the tips. I will have time to try some out this weekend.

I don't think this question has been asked on this forum. I searched and found nothing. Anyway, what is the best ROM?
Or do you guys prefer stock eek? By the way, once you unlock the Bootloader, is it possible to re-lock it? And can we "un-root"?
there is no re-locking. once you unlock there is no going back warranty voided. as far as what's the best rom, its way too early to say. you have to try them out yourself to form opinion on it. I will say that Virtuous Rom n Icylicious Rom has been getting great feedback.
Agreed there isnt to much development on the prime as of yet, but hoping it will come. As of now those two roms are mostly stock with a few visual mods at this point. Im really not up to try the CM9 as I have that on my phones, I like to have my tablet a bit different. I would love to see a rom like Roach2010 or Jcarrz1, even Mike1986 has put together on the original tf101, really enjoyed those alot.!!!
Nothing super impressive yet. But I'm pretty excited about the CNA guys...

I think the ROM's are just basically a lil tweaked right now and more visual customization. Once the kernel is basically truly optimized, then we will have some bad-azz ROM's. At that point I will start the whole flashing of ROM's. I am holding out for a few more weeks to unlock my bootloader.
I can't!
Knowing some of the work from other Virtuous U-Series ROMs, any ideas on what tweaks we might be in store for?
What and where have you read?

It was mentioned in the S-Series Virtuous Prime thread.

I can't wait....
Still no news though.....
Maybe waiting for Asus to fix I/O in soon to come update.... or waiting for Jelly Bean, so they don't have to re-code everything once we get the update
I HOPE!!!!
i'll probably jump to this ROM when it get's its update.. hate to leave Androwook...
I thought diamond left us? Got a link ?
I don't recall any discussion since the OP. They are a secretive bunch!
Nothing is mentioned in the "other" forum. They randomly came out with an update for my phone recently, but it really came out of nowhere with no discussion or mention in either place.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
Yeah. Me too. Waiting.
I wish the prime had the support that the Galaxy s3 has. After I got it, the forums are loaded with roms, kernals, modems. It was the easiest to root and install anything.
This Virtuos Series is the only dev department that has been with us since the beginning and I really hope they release something cool for us to use. I know the group works with mainly HTC so we will see!

I am waiting patiently for the offical JB update to be released before I decide to root or not, if it still runs slow as snot I will consider rooting. But before I do, does any one know if it is possible to reinstall the S-Pen suite of apps on a custom ROM? Or would I just have to find 3rd party apps that would let me use my S-Pen again?
Glad you asked, I have the same question. I"m currently running CM10 with no major issues and wanted to check out the other apps that are S-Pen friendly.

I found this when I was looking to see if by some happy chance the S Memo and S Note apps showed up on the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo&hl=en
I am in nearly an identical position as you. I was holding off on root until JB. (I have rooted all of my other devices in the past). However in my case I gave up and rooted.... I found an app on the Note II forums for auto detecting if the s-pen was in its slot, and then changing the input method accordingly. (It did not work, and I think it is because the s-pen detection in the holder slot on the Note I, at least my copy, sucks).. but I digress...
I accidentally, having nothing to do with root, locked up my device, so I had to go into recovery and re-load the ROM/Factory Reset.
So I decided to try out a few roms... I have never been happier. The difference is night and day. (Using flappjaxxx stock ICS rom)
IF you go to a stock modified ROM, then you will maintain S-Pen. The key is to go with a stock based ROM. If you go with something ported off of another device then i don't know.
My advice, take the plunge, root, modified stock ROM and then see what JB brings. If it is anything like the past, you won't want JB. You will want the JB stock modified ROM. (Best of both worlds)
Your s pen will work on any Rom, whether it's
Touch wiz based or not. What you loose by using a non TW based Rom besides TW specific apps is the special functions like hold screen for screen cap, or double tap to bring up memo. Besides that the s pen works.

That is what I was wondering, has any one managed to like rip the apk for S Note or S Memo that we could sideload?

Only if the rom is touchwiz compatible. I'm using jellybeer. Awesome ROM but to touchwiz
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
OK, so if you want touchwiz, there is a chance you could still use Samsung S Pen apps on a custom ROM... OK. That answers it pretty well, I should investigate third party S Pen apps before rooting and going to custom stock based ROM. I hope the JB update makes the Note run a lot better and not eat my RAM like a fat kid in Willy wonkas factory, so I don't have to worry about it lol

Good morning all youz. I am receiving my Gnote2 (verizon) today from swappa. OK, it is rooted and unlocked. It has Keen put back to stock but still rooted and unlocked. Couple of different things. I thought about taken Tibu files I have on my gnex save them on laptop and then transfer it to gnote. Is that 'correct thinking'?
Also,since it is on stock and I have been reading in all the forums about NOT taking the OTA. I am a crackflasher so I get that the roms have the ota in them. So what is the best rom 'in someones opinion's (winkwink)out there. I definitely need wifi wireless hotspot (not detected) so I can use my tablet anywhere.
Thanks.

From what I understand you can take the folders from Tibu and move them to a new phone, but I dont know if everything will work. Its always best to just download all the apps, from the Play Store or whatever other app stores you use, in my opinion. Some apps may not work and may cause issues on your rom, ultimately its your choice though. If you have problems you could go back to a nandroid and then download the apps from the app market.
As for good roms.... Well that depends on if you want to stay on TW, for the S-pen and various other features, or if you want AOSP.
If you want TW I would suggest CleanRom ACE or Beans, CR is always updated to the latest update with a crapload of features packed in and has an Aroma installer so you can choose exactly what apps and mods you want. Beans is a AOSP themed TW rom with a crapload of stuff packed in too and has a bunch of mods that you can flash after the rom. I prefer Scotts CleanRom ACE but it is really up to you as to whether you would have the AOSP theme or go with the way stock TW looks.
As for AOSP I would suggest Vanilla Rootbox or ParanoidAndroid. Those are my 2 favorites and the list of new stuff on them is huge so I am not going to type that out. The downside with AOSP is you lose the special S-pen features and the special apps like S-note. You can add the majority of S-pen features back to AOSP with an app name GMD Spen Control from the Play store, its a little pricey but is most definitely worth it because it even adds new S-pen features to TW.

☢ [ROM][4.4.2][NC2/NC4] *** Got bigginsROM? V5 ***[6/26/14] ☢ I have to say is the best ROM for a Rooted Verizon Note 3. I have tried all ROMs that are stable and form Battery Life to the Visuals, hands down BIGGINS know what he is doing. Keep up the great work and hope to see what's coming in the future. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733275 . In know way at all was I told or even contacted to post this. I just wanted to help anyone out there that was wondering what ROM to choose. Enjoy it as much as I do.
I agree Biggins rom being a top contender along with Baja's rom. Rite now i'm running Biggins V5 and patently waiting for Baja's and sbreen94 next build. I used Hyperdrive has a daily driver on my S3 and for a long while on my N3. All great developers. Much respect
I totally agree that Baja and Hyperdrive are great ROMs and developers. Many thanks to all their hard work. I had Hyperdrive as my daily driver for a while. As of now, I am loving Biggins V5. Im one of those who loves to change things up, so I am always changing my ROMs. Can't wait to see more to come from all these GREAT guys!!!

Eclipse is hands down my favorite.
Everyone is allowed there own opinion right.
But no one can do true AOSP code on a locked bootloader like @nitroglycerine33.

Newest version of Eclipse comes with Google Now Launcher (or whatever they're calling it now LOL)

Edit - fixed
I have tried out baja rom, hyper drive,eclipse rom.. My fave rom is eclipse by far, best battery life and aosp styling is nice. The other roms are good and i'm looking forward to trying out rom updates on the new safestrap slots.
not generally a fan of these threads since i appreciate all the devs and the different stuff they create but since the rom isnt mentioned here and has been the most updated rom i have ever used on a locked bootloader device then i have to make sure that @hsbadr with his Jasmine rom gets listed.
he is also about to launch a FULL S5 port with the Note 3 specific features injected.
thanks to all the devs listed and not
I originally opened this thread to see what users had to say about a ROM. I put my opinion and read many others. Since the first thread was posted I have tried other ROMs that were mentioned here. Purpose was a success. THANKS Again to all the hard working developers that make these forums worthy and make our phones outstanding!!! As I have said before in other posts, keep up the GREAT work and can't wait to see what's on the horizon
