jelly bean 7 vs clean rom ace - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys I've been doing research and can't make up my mind. I've made nandroids of both and switching back and forth. I'm kind of partial to clean ROM because that is what I always used on my old s3 but I can't decide between these two. Also can't decide between tw or nova. Can I get some opinions. Thanks guys I'm a noob to this phone I just got it a couple weeks ago coming from an s3 and love it.

I am not sure if the s-pen features work if you use other launchers bedides touchwiz so I chose that to be safe.

Beans has the perseus kernel option in the aroma installer if you want to mess with the voltages, etc.

BEANS 7 all the way! Came from root box 4.2.1 and didn't really care for it since no TW

I would like to try the custom kernel but I don't know how to set it does anyone have a bas line and the best or safest settings for the kernel?

Does Beans have blocking mode enabled? I need my quiet time. I'm using CleanRom ACE 4.2.5 and it's working great for me (stock kernal and L4 modem).

The only features of s pen that don't work with 3rd party launchers is page buddy.
As for Clean vs. Beans, no one can say which is best, it's about personal preference.
I like both of them, but I'm currently running Eclipse.
I'm sure I'll switch again, and again.

You can always try Eclipse.

I might try eclipse. So how many of you run a custom kernel? Is there much benefit? I ran custom kernel when I had my fascinate but I don't know where to start with set CPU on this phone also I don't want to burn it up. Thanks for your oppinions.

Rom suggestion?

ok so,ive been looking for a decent rom for the past couple days. what is a good and reliable rom that is very similar to Hybrid and you are able to use SMEMO and SNOTE? also you can have it in tablet mode?.... im currently using paranoidandroid and i love it, but im one of those people that i use Smemo and Snote!!!and the downside is you are not able to use Smemo and Snote on paranoidandroid because its CM9!!!...
any suggestions?
Thank you,
Most of the roms are AOSP, CM9, or AOKP based. Your options are limited when it comes to what roms have smemo etc support, but there are a few. Read through the OP of the roms to figure out which has what you're looking for.
Basically any of the roms that are stock ICS based well have what you're looking for. Anything that mentions AOSP, AOKP, CM9, etc isn't what you're looking for.
Also, tablet mode is enabled by dpi change usually, which some roms have settings to do so, others you need to edit build.prop

thanks for the reply!!!
Theres no way to install Smemo And Snote on AOSP, AOKP, AOCP, CM9???
No, they rely on the touchwiz framework and whatnot.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
One question thou? can i pick any touch wiz Rom(ex:Teams perfection) and by changing the System DPI go to tablet mode? or things get messed up and wont work?
You can change the dpi on the ROM in question and it should go into tablet mode. Most everything will probably work. You may have an issue with one or two apps but you will not know till you try.
Make a back of your current setup and give it a shot.

I'm in the same boat as you smemo and snote are a big deal to me but I love paranoid and so far I haven't found anything that combines the two. Im using a stock Rom and everything works but the battery life is horrible so I'm considering going back to paranoid

I like Touchwiz but hate the look so Beans is my goto. Themed but with all the functionality of Touchwiz that AOSP lacks. Smooth as hell and the battery life is amazing on the Perseus kernel (7 hours of screen on time on average.).
Runs well as a daily driver. Honestly, I can't see myself ever using AOSP on this Note 2. The one reason I used it in the past was because of how much smoother it was than whatever manufacturer skin my phone came with but that isn't the case now. Touchwiz is extremely well optimized, has great battery life and is smooth as butter.
btw mine is Beans 7.

when I first flashed beans and had the AOSP lock screen and idk what happened but it didn't let me unlock my phone. So I had to reinstall the rom to fix that but instead of that I installed the Clean Rom ace I had it for a couple of days and I didn't like it. maybe because I don't like the stock-looking that clean rom has.

CleanRom ACE for me
I've tried Beans 7 and while its a great rom its still based on Verizon official 4.1.1 ota software whereas CleanRom is based on the latest international build 4.1.2. which I feel are more cutting edge.
As much as I liked some of the cool features on touchjizz and the S-Pen I had to unlock and put Sbrissens CM10.1 on here... I needed real life functionality and customization as well as a stripped down (read: not bloated) ROM, this does it perfectly at the expense of some cool but unnecessary features IMO

It still works as a stylus on CM 10.1, but you won't have any of the button gestures or Samsung apps like SNote.
CleanROM was my choice until Paranoid Android was ported over. PA has been my favorite rom, even on my Galaxy Nexus. I just hope when 3.0 comes around, the Note 2 will officially be supported and they will allow for my UI customization, kinda like AOKP

yes beans touchwiz rom...its not with touchwiz, its touchwiz based off of stock vraljb. i like the theme he has integrated into the rom. clean rom is just debloated stock with a few tweaks, nothing special imo. fyi im still on build 2...i dont even mess with flashing anything on this device as it usually is a downgrade. the n2 is rock solid out of the box and and beans adds just the right amount of enhancements.

It doesn't really work with the me7 update. Well done things so work but you can't change the color of the toggles and a lot of other things but if you pair it up with wanam xposed you pretty much have everything again working.

If you really want nottach I'd just go back to mdk. Better roms available. Nothing to get excited about in me7...it's main purpose was to break Loki. Foldermount makes apps2sd not so exciting since it can do even more. And pretty much everything works on mdk roms.

Im on Hyperdrive RLS7 and MDK, stock optimized kernel. I would just like a fully functional 'Verizon' Xposed settings port. Maybe even a mixture of 3minit and Nottach would be amazing! Honestly, if I could code I would be working on this instead of the same old AOSP or TW roms that pretty much all have the same functions. Although, Hyperdrive is the bees knees at this point in the race, I would never upgrade to me7 unless it is completely stable. But there really is no point to upgrade right now.

What's not working for you? Pretty much everything I tried worked when I used it. Did not use it as much on hyper because I used the cobalt theme, but when I used it on clean, all of the status bar mods and all of the tile settings worked. Center clock, battery mods, tile colors, button colors, global icons, everything. One thing I did was force reinstall xposed when I made changes...not sure if it made a difference. I use xthemeengine with eclipse ge and don't bother with that, though.

NEAK is generally built around installing and letting it do it's thing. The engine app has modes you can select that do most of the work. Honestly I just let it do it's thing and it's fine. Now the sounds app is another story.

I am running neak on carbon ROM. And let me tell you, its a beast. I installed the uneak engine app and chose the battery saver option and I have been getting at least 7 hours screen time and around 18 hours total time. Thats under heavy use. If into light I'm sure I could get a day or two.

Actually.....I've got N.E.A.K. running on Paranoid Android 4.3 Alpha without a hitch. I figured I'd give it a shot and see if it boots, and to my surprise, it does and worked. I reverted back to 4.2.2 because of some other graphics anomalies which were outlined in the CM and PA threads.

I seriously recommend Eclipse TW 2.0 by nitro. My favorite ROM by far. Imagine a ROM that looks like AOSP, even the status bar, but has all of the nifty TouchWiz features. And if you use Ktoonz's recommended setting, you also get amazing battery life. I love this ROM. Snappy too.

There are plenty of awesome ROMs available. Ultimately, you'll just have to try a few that grab your attention and see what is best for you. I bounced around between many of the TW ROMs before I finally landed on CM 10.1.3 RC2 and I'm very happy with it. See what works for you, TW vs AOSP then find the ROM that you like most.
There's a bunch of factors to consider, the first and most important is what you like, we're all different!
FWIW, I've tried BoneStock and Hyperdrive, they're both very good ROMS but I always go back to CM 10.2 because it does everything I want, it works to perfection and I have some apps that won't play nice with TouchWiz ROMs. Battery life is adequate for me.
As always, YMMV!
