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!
I only run beans ROM. I helped that man get his footing going with development on the GSIII and he by far had the best ROM for that phone when I left it a week ago. Love his styling.

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:

Hey ppl of the forum!
This is my first post here........well this is my first post in any forum!
Its June and I wanted to know opinions of which rom is stable/crash less so far for u guys !! Its June and there's been a lot of revisions and updates for most of the ICS Roms out there. After reading most of the forums AOKP seems to be it.........or am i wrong??
Oh if this topic is not allowed for flaming......sorry!!! I understand how annoying it can be.
Since you mentioned AOKP, go ahead and run it. Very stable ............ again, based on my definition.
Note: nobody will flame you since this will be closed as the speed of the bullet.
Just do you a favor.
lol Figured....one question about AOKP....i just flashed it a couple of days ago....f-ing love it....will it be reliable enough for some one who travels a lot???

I'm not sure if it still functions in Mars or Moon, but as long as you stay on Earth, it works very well.
lmao i am tooo broke for that stuff!
I was thinking more of the line if I traveled and it crashed will be stuck with no PHONE!!!!!!
AOKP will keep you good. I've ran it since Task650 brought it to our phone and I've yet to have any problems.

Yeah, either AOKP or Serindipity from Mikey will do wonders fo yo foneee
If you like TouchWIz, ShoStock is also very good.
Just because something is stable for us it may not be for u. Flash them all. We're all here to learn and grow together. Oh and have fun.

I did and AOKP seem to be it for me... i just wanted to know what other had experienced with Roms...I forgot which one it was but one of them randomly turned my screen on and I though I was getting a message but it was just the screen turning on and off randomly!
You can also head over to the GT-i9100 forums and find a ROM there and Hellraise it. Hellraising is basically like porting. Im using the KOUD AOSP ROM and it's one of the best onse ive used so far. The Simplistic Disaster Earthquake III ROM is also a work of art.
Mystic has a very good touch whiz ics rom. Here's the thread

Beans will probably make it like he did for the S3 I'd give it some time since this phone has only been out for a month.

I hate that I forget about that. It seems like it's been out for a while now. That's on other carriers though.
There's always MiHome to keep you sated until the full ROM comes out, in case you weren't aware. Comes with the lockscreen, too.

My upgrade date isn't until January 25th. I'm really hoping some headway is made on this before then. I'm sure a lot of people, myself included would be very inclined to make a nice donation to anybody willing to work on this! The AT&T group seems to have made a TON of progress on this, so maybe some collaboration could be done with them to port a "final" build over once they iron out the kinks?
I ported miui to the sprint galaxy note 2 CDMA and if you guys want to use that as a base to port over I don't mind ..so far everything is working on the build ..you can look at the sprint thread and its miui on stock base with working multi Window n s pen features

Beans told me he's working on it. He has been very busy with his ROM but I told him I would be patient.
cant wait for this
That's awesome. Since I've moved over to Samsung I've been enjoying jb touch wiz and haven't really missed miui. It had that appeal to me because it looked and somewhat performed like ios but now I think tw is far more superior in performance and cosmetics than ios/miui. I'm really liking the one handed operation that tw offers. I'm not sure that miui offers that.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I cant wait to see MIUI on this badass phone. It seems to have a hell of a lot less problems that the S3 so maybe that means MIUI wont be as difficult to debug. Either way, buggy or not, I cannot wait to see this. And Beans is a freaking AMAZING dev

yes,you can flash
MIUI Home
If you flash the MIUI Home zip will you then have the option of choosing between it and your stock home? Or does something else have to be flashed for that to happen?
This is not a bounty do not close thread please
For those of you that know Nitro or about Eclipse I thought you might want to look at his twitter
https://mobile.twitter.com/nitroglycerin33
Look at his post its coming
That is epic. Nitro was the only reason I kept my DX2 as long as I did. I can't wait to see what he can manage to cook up with this device.
We're in store for some good things.
Yes you are in for a treat!!

That was the only rom I ran for more than a few hours on my Bionic, switched it up to AOKP for my RAZR Maxx and always went back to AOKP. On this phone I don't want to give up a few features, I wonder if he'll keep the useful stuff like multi Window and pop up browser.

20 questions!
1) Warp drive? :cyclops:
Lol more like warp speed seriously guys Nitro is a beast and is killing it! It will be coming soon. Sorry guys not trying to tease but Nitro has put in a lot of work and I will not spill the beans.
So my intention was not to tease you guys. However I just wanted to bring the good news to those that knows Nitro's work and many of you expressed kind words on my previous post that was closed because it was labeled as a bounty when people wanted to speed things up and get eclipse on our device. So we continued to make it happen on his own website.
Hi, I'm using my Fassy as a temporary replacement as I sell my Note 2 for a downgrade on Swappa. You might be asking why in the hell I'm selling my Note 2. Trust me, I don't want to sell it, but I have to for extra cash.
Anyways, I'm looking through the Development thread and all I see are AOSP roms. My question is, where are all the TouchWiz roms?! I like to rock stockish TouchWiz roms on Sammy phones. So I'm assuming developers are no longer producing TouchWiz roms for this device. In that case, can you, XDA, provide me a link to the most-recent Fassy TouchWiz rom with a modified TouchWiz kernel?
A Thanks will be given to people that help out. Thank you! :good:

with your experience on XDA you should know, what is going to be an excellent ROM for somebody else, may not be for you. I don't know what kind of user you are.
not sure what your last phone was, but we have quite a bit of variety here.
here is my rundown and I am sure you know basics
ICS 4.0.4...........super stable by know beings update official updates have gone beyond
JB 4.1.2...........Touchwiz based pretty darn close to stock (debloated) and DAMN stable. only a couple out there but rock solid. some theming and mods out there for personal touches. not many updates needed
JB 4.2..............these would be AOSP, AOKP and CM based ROMS. lots of customizing. basically 3 ROM's in 1. with bells and whistles are some shortcomings. random reboots being the biggest flaw. many have success using alternate KERNALS built in conjunction with certain ROM's, giving options for OCing and UVing. different tweaks here and there can better chances for success. lots of updates on these.
JB 4.3..............still early in the game. smooth but working out a lot of kinks right now. its coming along
just an honest everyday user here giving an honest opinion m my experience here. folks are great funny and very helpful and a LOT of talent in development here.
good luck my friend. I am sure others will be along to correct me on SOMETHNG
Lol I thanked I twice..im a tmo user n our variety on roms is far less than i717 IM on skeleton key ICS rom and so far it's awesome...no reboots debloated n compatible with i717...just gotta flash a tmo modem but can be used for i717...give it a try new guy it's in the development thread...

It depends what you want in a ROM. I'm using Skeleton Key, because I like ICS a lot. It works just fine for my needs. It is an excellent ROM, as are all the others. It just like I said...depends what YOU want.
