[Q] Help me choose Cleanrom Ace vs Verizon special edition - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi all ! I need some help here. I decided to go with Cleanrom but i dont know which one to choose. I know Cleanrom Ace is based on the International and the Verizon Edition is based on stock. I searched the forum but did not find an answer for it. I just use my verizon to see how much data i have used. Can someone explain me which one will be better? Thanks in advance

Here's what you do. Flash one, use it for a day, next day, flash the other. Make your final decision after 2 days. Seriously, no one can tell you which is better because it boils down to what you want and need in the two different bases. They are both great roms.

Better idea, flash one, set up, make nandroid backup.
Install new one, if dislike flash back to old one.
Seriously though, I prefer ACE. I tried the VZW and did not enjoy it as much. Nova seemed a little less snappy and I barely use any VZW apps.

The only thing I would add is to stay on one ROM for a few days.

Thanks everyone ! I will use Cleanrom ace for few days and then flash the other one. Thanks:highfive:

If the only verizon thing you use is my verizon id say ace would probably be better but you have to relogin every time you use it.

[Q] Main reason for custom roms or the lack there of.

I'm sorry but this question has been bothering me for sometime. I have googled this question but have had no luck. What is the main reason there aren't a lot of custom roms like the international one has? I know our device is newer so I'm just simply asking. This isn't a complaint, ETA or a rant, its simply a question. I know when the atrix came out there were some pseudo roms out until the bootloader became unlocked and then the floodgates opened. Will most of the international roms make it over to this phone eventually. I'm sorry in advanced if this question has been asked before but I really tried to find it first.
the international phone uses a different chipset than this one so no none of the roms will work. the reason we dont have so many roms is because we dont have as many devs as everyone else does (my opinion) but this phone isnt that greatly wanted because of its size so we may never have a lot of roms. the ones we do have are great we just need more themes to go with them. you can port a rom from the skyrocket or t-mobile gs2 if you would like to. im currently running t-mobile ics rom now
Im hoping that theres lot of roms to come but what do i know. The phone is great, not sure why its not popular, yea its big but still sick.

I believe someone tried to flash a skyrocket rom to their note... didn't end well.
The moral of the story is: you can't.
Edit: unless you port it (something not so easy), as smartguy044 said.
You have to change a few files but it works. Im using tmobile rom with everything working great and a theme for the skyrocket

How did you do it? Which ROM and what changes did you have to make? There's a considerable difference in displaybresolution, so I'm curious as to how you did it.

Eh. The main reason is because this phone is so new. It hasn't even been out for 2 months. Thats not long in the dev community. Hell, it took like 6 months just to unlock the bootloader on my atrix and even longer for ROMs. With ICS rolling out and the note gaining traction, you will see an abundance of dev help in the coming months

I agree that the Note is "wanted", which will eventually be great for future rom development. However, the figure is 5 million sold globally since the global version's release, not just the US market.

Better than I expected.
We just had a few new dev's join our team, announcement of upcoming cm9, ics release... i'd say we're in pretty good shape for some solid roms coming very soon.

New AT&T User

Hey guys!
I just received my Galaxy Note from AT&T (previously a T-Mobile G2 user), and am wondering about custom ROMs.
I used a MIUI ROM on my G2 with T-Mobile, but am more interested in ICS and the international capabilities of the Note (Premium suite, apps, etc). Do we not get those apps?
Are there any custom ROMs you guys would recommend for a new user?
Thanks!

There's no reason to say anything bad about anyone's rom. If you like apps rom, then say just that. Theres no reason to point out what you think is horrible scrolling. They're both excellent roms and both are very smooth. Go to the threads and read up. Or better yet, try them and see what fits your needs the best.

I understand. I'm not new to ROMs, but I find it easier to ask for opinions than to try flashing endless ROMs. I'm having a hard time believing rooting and all is even worth it. But I'm hoping some of you veteran Note users' will provide me with a little more incentive to flash or keep stock.
I'm sure he meant no disrespect to the developers, and hopefully they take no offense.

Your choice but my opinion is as follows. You have a great device with capabilities far beyond those which it was sold with(GB), so you could stay with your awesome device and never know its "full" potential. Adversely, you could unleash the beast with a little research and gumption... Think portable wireless hotspots and ease of use modifications and custom works allowing you to customize your device. With stock gb it generally takes 2 to 4 more steps to achieve the same goal in custom GB. Same with ICS... These are my opinions and individual experience may vary... Ultimately its up to you how excited about your device you get, and how much research you do to ensure a great experience.

Yeah I ended up trying a few, and nothing seemed stable enough. We won't have to wait too much longer for ICS and premium suite I am sure!
I say if you're fine with GB go with unofficial rom. Best laid out in my opinion and with holokernel incredibly fast and smooth. For ics I say forget about your s pen and try cm9. I missed notes at the beginning but with how fluid everything is and problem free of a build this is I try not to think of that plastic pen jammed into my phone and just enjoy ics for what it is and what it should be on any android phone without all the little touches manufacturers throw in trying to make their phone a special snowflake in an industry of special individual snowflakes. Just my two cents anyhow

Gingerbread ROM on Galaxy SIII

Howdy,
For testing purposes I want to load a pre-ICS ROM on my GalaxyS3. I need the flash built in that got dropped with ICS.
Has anyone tried this? If so, what are recommended ROMs?
If no one has done this, what ROMs are closest to what the S3 runs and would stand the greatest chance of working?
Thanks,
Joe
Presume this is a test to see how fast you can brick your SGS3 .
Adobe Flash player works on ICS .

now this was a unique question. in the world of jb you are looking for gb
oh go on, do it, testing, testing

Like JJegan has already mentioned Adobe flash was dropped for JB not ICS
This is I think the 4th "can I put gingerbread on x" thread I have seen on xda, pretty sure its the second in the S3 forum and also there were two in the gnex forums if my memory serves me right.
As you can imagine they were met with complete and WARRANTED hostility.

to be equally fair, i'm in the same boat. i had a captivate for a while, loved the gb roms i flashed constantly to find my favourite. bought an s2 and absolutely love the phone. i hard bricked my previous s2, i dont think i had the right kernel, something i did was for a non canadian version of the s2. after i sold that one i bought another brand new s2. the s3 was around for a little while at this point but my girlfriend has a galaxy nexus and her sister an s3 and i just dont like the way ics and jb look, feel and operate. it felt like switching from windows to a mac after using windows for years. i would go to close a window and the 'x' was in the upper left and not right like windows.
its a personal opinion, i'm sure in many ways firmwares past gb are better in many quantifiable ways, but i just dont like em. not to mention the stupid physical home button like some loser iphone. i love the 4 backlit buttons that samsung uses on many devices like the blu ray player i have. it's just awesome.
anyway, long story short - is there any other demand worth warranting a dev to make a gb rom for phones past that version of android?
in closing, think of the amount of roms out there for the captivate which are based on froyo people still use. gb ics and even jb roms are available but many people still prefer the look and feel of froyo.
anyway, long story short - is there any other demand worth warranting a dev to make a gb rom for phones past that version of

Getting my Note II Tomorrow

Hey everyone, I'm moving from my Galaxy Nexus tomorrow to the Note II. I'm new to the Note II community (obviously) and my purpose in creating this thread was to get a feel for what ROMs people are using. This thread is NOT for bashing any ROMs, and not for arguing.
If you would, please post what ROM you're using, and a reason or two why you like it.
I understand some people are against this kind of thread, I'd just like to get a feel for what aspects' of ROMs people enjoy, since the Note 2 is a unique device.
Thank you for your kindness in advenced
The two I'm familiar with are cleanrom and beans, cleanrom has the same look as stock with everything cleaned up and a few custom options while beans is stock with aosp theming and more customization. I like both but I've been on beans for a while because I like the aosp look. I was on cleanrom for a long while before that and it was great, I just wanted the change in look haha

I've tried the following:
Beans
CleanROM ACE
Eclipse
Jedi
All have their merits... all are good ROMs. I'm on Jedi right now and really liking it, though. But you can't go wrong with any of the four I listed above.
i also recently made the switch from a galaxy nexus ive had the note 2 for about 10 days an im jus in love with this phone.i use clean rom lite touchwiz has really grown on me so i jus wanted sum stockish but debloated of sum crap.no issues yet an so happy dat i dont find myself flashing roms every other day lol!

Just wanted to say, gratz! I moved from the GNex to the Note 2 myself, just this week. WOW I love it. I miss the onscreen nav buttons and the branding free front face of the GNex but thats about it. The Note 2 is amazing. The battery life alone... holy cow. My Gnex would require charging by midday and a battery swap in the evening when I got home. LAME.
Anyway enjoy the new phone! I will be interested to see the recommendations as I too need a good first ROM.

I might go for the LMT launcher for that PA pie.... It's a nice feature. There really isnt a need for the nav buttons, I just wish samsung had put the back button on the left side and exchanged the menu button for recents.
I came from the GNex as well. With Beans and Nova Launcher, my phone looks exaclty like my GNex did..only bigger and badder in every way shape and form! :good:

[Q] What can I do with my new HTC One?

I've been on the galaxy product line for my last two phones and have rooted them then installed CM on them straight away. Now that I have an HTC One, and it's still a fairly new device, I'm wondering what things I should/could do to it...
So far all I've done is unlock the bootloader, and I'm kinda waiting for ASOP Android to be released but are there any ROMs that are must haves or is there any reason to root it at this point?
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I was expecting this type of reply. I've done a decent amount of searching in the HTC boards and this one. I'm asking the question for other people's opinions. But I guess you're right, I could go around the forums on my phone, so, that would be something to do on it although not what I'm looking for.

As a Samsung user for the past 3 years or so I've always used aosp Roma myself. I haven't even looked at a single aosp Rom for the one (won't until official comes out) my suggestion is use sense for a while. There's a thread over in international about some stuff the one can do. Check it out. I'd install a international Rom and play with it. (Arhd is great) If you flash an aosp Rom you'll lose beats and the great camera. Keep it (close to) stock for now and enjoy the new sense.

I wondered the same thing with mine. The next steps you could take if you wanted to: get s-off, get supercid, and pick a good Rom that you like. (for all intensive purporses the first two are negligible). I am currently on Android Revolution HD (arhd) and loving it. Fast and smooth with the 4.2.2 and good battery life. That's a good place to start.

It still includes an amount of HTC/Google Junk, but it's easy to fix with a root explorer or Titanium Backup
