I have been running cleanrom 3.5 for a few weeks and have been very happy. Tonight I'm either going to flash beans 5 or cleanrom 4. Any advice as to what's more stable and smooth? I think the features are pretty similar aside from the aosp theme of beans.

I would imagine that CleanROM 4.0 is more stable, considering many use CleanROM as there daily driver. Last night I flashed CleanROM 4.0, and haven't had any problems so far. I'm using Verizon Note 2.

They are both stable and smooth. Can't go wrong with either. Its just personal preference.
Beans is also a stable daily driver.

They are both 100% stable as a DD, I have never had a single problem with either one.
Ive run both and I honestly cant make up my mind which to stay with both have been great for me.

I have to vote for Beans here, very stable, and fast, and he is a great dev also.

If you want more of an AOSP look to your Note 2, then Beans is the way to go -- he themes his ROM's to give you that AOSP look.
CleanROM is not themed, but very light weight in terms of removed bloatware and other tweaks that the dev has done to the ROM.
I prefer CleanROM since I'm not really a big fan of the AOSP look/feel (I know.. I'm in the minority here).
But as others have said, you can't go wrong with either ROM, they are fantastic. I'm just hoping some of the themer's out there come to this phone as they did on the S3.
I roll my own.

Agreed completely. But the opposite for me, I'm using beans for that AOSP look, coming from the Gnexus, can't go back from it. Plus it's amazingly smooth and stable. Battery life has been great, too.

I don't know. I am the only member with a Note 2 and the abuse seen from some people lately has put off other members. The sense of entitlement from the Android community chases off more talent than anything else.
So, I won't say no, but will leave it as a fading hope, that is still in 'maybe' status but could change to a resounding 'NO'.

I've seen a lot of devs stop releasing stuff because of all the bs. I wish most devs would just post a "this is my rom, take it or leave it but don't B!TCH!" and just release it as they built it for themselves and let others create mods instead of trying to cater to everyone.
Can we please keep on topic for a change.

Hi. first of all I just want to say that I'm a big admirer of XDA forums I've been following the forums for quite some time on various phones but I'm not very active in posts / replies due to my inexperience.
I'm sick of AT&T taking forever to give us ICS and I'm not willing to wait just to get a whole bunch of bloatware and the same old touchwiz. I've come across two good roms: Onlyone and Objection. I'm kind of leaning towards Objection because It's giving me two UI options: Android 4 and the new Touchwiz, but from the replies I got the impression that Onlyone is more stable. Are there any ROMS that use the official ICS code released by Samsung or not yet?
Here are my main concerns: battery life, ROM stability and speed, and of course the good additions like updated touchwiz, S-voice, etc.
Try them all and see which you like best. Nobody can tell you which is best, because that is purely opinion based. There aren't that many, so just learn how to use titanium backup so switching between roms doesn't take too long.

Are you running tablet or phone mode?
If you prefer the unmodified, pure Android experience that you would get on a Nexus device, you can come close with a CyanogenMod based ROM. These are my personal favorites as they are practically bloat-free and don't have any carrier/manufacturer customizations. The downside on the Note is that there is no S-Note/S-Memo. Hopefully the CM devs will get these apps to work eventually, but the S-Pen does work.
If you like the TouchWiz interface then try one of the TW/ICS leak based ROMs such as OnlyOne. That was the first ICS ROM I tried and I liked it, but overall I prefer CM9.
you can try those ROMs from this guy - flappjaxxx. They are the unofficial CM9 ROM and UCLE2 stock-base ROM. They are really solid, stable, daily drivers and supported well by the awesome developer. These roms get very good comments from XDA-users.
I've tried every single rom.
for CM9- I'd use Mesosphere the rest were pretty unstable.
For Ucle2 + S-pen functionality i'd use FJ's Build. Onlyone was laggy for me.

This is like asking what beer should I drink or who is the best Golden Girl. Everyone is going to have different answers and you really need to try some and find your favorite.
That being said I am a big fan of flappjaxxx's UCLE2 rom.
My recommendation is to go with the Unofficial build of CM9 by h0tw1r3.
Nothing beats the cleanliness of AOSP, and the added features that Cyanogen throws in are well worth it.
I have been running it since he released the first build and it is extremely stable. And thanks to CalcProgrammer1, it was just updated and we may even see nightly builds.
Thanks Calc!

IMHO CleanROM is a pretty strong competitor in the basic ICS Rom dept. If you want to enrich your Rez experience, move on to a sense 4 ROM
There are several out there. My favorite happens to be Newt's One xXx . YOu can find it on the Developer forum...along with the others!
Conrom or viper rez. You could make a cleanrom type rom yourself pretty easily with the right know-how
Been using neomax adrenaline for the past week or so and really like it. Had been on cleanrom for several months but since it wasn't being updated any more I decided to s-off and move on. Really like adrenaline, and to me it seems like the most like cleanrom.

Nils' rom, con rom, are 2 great ones. Personally I like newts one XxX and Joelz's viper rom. I'd try each one for about 3 days each to let the battery stats configure, and to let the system set in. A lot of times people write a device off for having terrible battery life, even though they tested it for like a day. *cough* *cough* the verge. Love the site, but they need to test for like 4 days. Anyway back on track, I can say the con rom v4 and v5 are extremely stable.

NeoMax: Adrenaline, it's a de-sensed, stripped down, fast as all hell ROM. It may actually be the best ROM that I've used in the 9 months I've had the Rezound, no joke. If you want a non-barebones ROM the regular NeoMax should be just as fast but I can't attest to that personally.
(This is coming from an addicted flasher...and I do and have donated to everyone of these Einstein's of ROM's so there is no allegiance to any of these that makes or phone super-fantastic)
Howdy is to those who have taken the rooted option to maximize their G4 Phone. I really do think on the development page some folks think this is a 24 hour a day brain surgery...I mean 10s of thousands of views on every ROM, myself included, to see what the latest and greatest that may be just released, and then, there I go flashing again! Crap.. I know I'm not alone. I wish I could stop!!!
I've tired them all, as of now Beans is my choice. In fact, there is so little a difference on any of these Rom's from the hard working developers that I think there is a "one up man ship" for the latest and greatest. I just want to open a discussion, and also an opinion of these particular four and keep this in the General.tread as not to make it a pissing contest. Again this is to just get feedback on just what you all have liked or disliked about each.
For me Beans finally got rid of the "custom/Padlock" on boot and also I was able to install 3minit settings. That's a big plus.(for G3 flashers as it's like Kinda Crap Mods which made my device rock with my S3). My battery life is exceptional but that probably has to do with our pretty incredible G4.
Again this is just a discussion and maybe we can learn something from each other.
I like cleanrom simply because I used and loved it on my s3, and I trust that the same attention to detail and dedication is going to be brought to this phone. With that said, I am not a flashaholic, and am generally happy with anything that isn't full of bloat.

I flashed hyper, clean and beans and I enjoy beans the most. although I have a few issues, mainly my battery disappeared the other day and after many reboots still hasn't come back lol..and air view just stops working out of nowhere...its the smoothest rom of them all I think. hyperdrive was fast but the dropdown bar lagged really bad. beans dropdown bar is very quick and smooth, just like it was on his s3 roms.

I've tried everything but beans (I meant to try it last night but got busy) and clean rom has been the best for me.
Every other seems to have one thing or another that is not quite perfect or something that just doesn't work right.
With clean everything just works, it's pretty fast and the battery seems good.
This was the same experience I had on my rezound with cleanrom vs. everyone else.
With that in mind, I really have to try beans. Except for a couple of things, it's getting rave reviews and his reputation appears to be terrific.
I'll update my post after checking it out.
I went Slim at first... Could not get exchange or GPS to work.
Im running hyper and havent changed from it for a few days now its stable, GPS and Exchange email work.. which is what i need.
CleanROM Slim is my daily right now for the past week. . Been perfect, fast, smooth and great battery life.. Haven't seen any issues yet. I'm currently at 2+ days standby and 3+ hours screen time and 19% battery left. Taking screenshots as I get closer to 0% for the battery life thread.
so far i'm loving beans. I've tried Hyper and Clean, but beans seemed to the most stable and smooth for me.
My vote goes towards Beans.
Beans is the best for mecas well.

This is it, touchwiz vs aosp. Its all about who can make the best claim.
If so, what roms are you using? I've tried them all and i can't decide!!!!
here are my thoughts...
touchwiz, everything works but i dont care for anything.
aosp.... I like having all the extra stuff and dont have to customize anything.
-----
roms i liked were hyperdrive, cleanrom, liquid, aokp, cm10.1
I use CM10 on mine for one reason PDroid. I use Open-PDroid with AFWall+ and Adfree. Can have ultimate control of my phone. I really don't care about the gimmicks (Air touch, etc) Played with them for the first hour I had my phone, then rooted, ROM'd and moved on.
I like Touch Wiz. Coming from aokp, I'm bored with aosp (stilll like aokp), and the nav bar on the s4 (and s3) is goofy imo. TW is a nice change and it's clean. With tw what do you need to customize? A battery icon is about all, It's all done for you imo...of course, I'm using CLEAN 1.3, but to each his own...
I would like to try aosp but last I heard they were still having issues with GPS and Bluetooth. I like my phone to function fully. Once that's ironed out I'll make the switch.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Well ive tried them all... and i dont care to customize. i am getting bored with aosp as well. im gonna try out beans to say ive tried them all... but might just stick to cleanrom which has always been my go to rom.
I'm running clean rom and I love it. Since I'm on Verizon it added the wifi toggle and got rid of a ****load of bloatware. Then I just used file explorer and finished the rest of myself. I like the samsung apps so I don't want a rom that gets rid of them

im getting pretty set on TW, but now im thinking jelly beans or cleanrom. but who knows
I like aosp simply because touchwiz looks hideous
After rooting my s3 and playing with Touchwiz and AOSP I've opted to keep my S4 stock and have yet to root the device. I can use Nova Launcher and use a few other programs to get the AOSP look I need. Plus I have the added benefit of the camera features and no GPS issues. We'll see if the AOSP ROM for the Nexus Edition S4 helps with those issues but until then... It's TW for me.

agreed. TW does look very cartoonish, but i got bored of aosp. im happy to be back on android though.... i was on apple for a few months.
After having smart stay, air gesture, and the ir remote, I won't go to AOSP based roms until they add those options. I can make TW look better by theming it.
thanx.
I typically run AOKP, but bounce around between the AOSPs a bit. I wasn't minding TW on this device so much, especially with some of the cool tweaks, but I cannot stand having both the quick toggles (which are way too huge) and the toggles page.
Weird as it is... the clunkyness of the notifications pull down is probably what makes TW a non-contender for me.
Edit: Oh, and some weird Bluetooth issue between the S4 and my car that only exists with TW and causes skipping in the sound unless I make a phone call first... lol.

I was disappointed to read about Scott's decision to stop developing his CleanRom. I found it to be a great balance between TW and Google Edition.
I hope someone will take it over. I don't see a clear alternative to CR.
Thoughts?

Giving Synergy a try. But still keeping CR backup
If you're looking for a fantastic running ROM with the same odex'd stock feel go with synergy and odex it yourself.
The "life after" stuff is a bit melodramatic

Try Hyper
The newest release of Hyper is incredibly stable, easy to use, and insanely fast. I strongly suggest giving it a spin.
disappointing clean rom is stable I will definitely miss it.. Thanks for a nandroid backup that I will keep forever
just wondering if you have a link or anything saying he's stopping development for it?

Another CleanRom fan here.....still running 1.2 cause it worked so well for me.
I wish Scott well in whatever he is doing next! I certainly appreciate all the hard work he put in.
Thank you, Scott!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to eclipse and used tb and deleted health and Samsung link. The two things left of bloat. Then flashed latest faux. I dig it so far. Farewell clean.

Life after cleanrom is fine but better with it. Scott stopping has me wondering the birth to death rate of android developers. More devices and old ones that stay relevant already spread them out pretty good.
No idea Dev had stopped.. Def a great and stable ROM...now decisions decisions

My signature should say it all
Yep totally bummed he's stopping, just loved how great everything worked on his ROM. I will give Hyper a try again. I used it before but had a few issues, looks like he's got it running pretty good now. Can always nandroid...

yeah I'm still on 1.0 cause its the best battery life. I've tried 1.3 and 1.5R2 though not 1.6 or 1.6.5.
1.0 is still my DD. Smooth no lag (though i had no lag on stock) and everything worked with crazy battery life. I have all of the Zips DL so I'll always have the nandroids plus the zips. The battery life i got on 1.0 (.25% drain per hour idle and 6-7 hours on screen time) makes me not need to mess with other roms right now. Unfortunatley i was not getting the same battery life with the other versions of this rom.
Also unfortunate he closed the thread right away as we're unable to thank him for a great ROM. I wish him the best and hope whatever changed in his life is good or if not so good things improve for him. Thanks Scott

Not me, I like CleanRom, I've tried Hyperdrive and really like all it's features but I'm running CynogenMod. Why? Because it works on my phone and NO TouchWiz ROM I've tried does work properly with all my apps and I can't figure it out? Apps that ran just fine on my Galaxy S3 work perfectly on AOSP ROMs on the S4 but will not work on any TouchWiz ROM and I haven't the knowledge, time or inclination to trouble shoot TouchWiz so.... CyanogenMod.
I almost cried when I read that message. After having terrible lag issues with hyperdrive, it looks like synergy will be my next go to rom when the update comes out which I will like because it will have more features than CR did. I don't like anything crazy but some tweaks that scott doesn't offer in his stockish rom will be nice. I am going to miss him very much though. Great guy and great dev.

Lmao, I loled when I read this... Good stuff.
I am far from a dev, hell I've barely been using an android device for a month but, devs have such a thankless job/hobby. I am not aware of one that gets money for anything they do (short of "bounties") yet, get ridiculed when something they do may not work for someone.
I appreciate everything, would love to get into doing things like this just have no idea where to start. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at making my own ROM for personal use and if good enough, maybe public. I just have zero experience, lol
