There are so many varied and out of date opinions on this and then so many people that are just guessing, so I have to ask.
Are either 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 completely stable? I'm getting that NONE of the 4.2s are stable at all and that they're experimental at best. Is this true? If so, is 4.1.2 the only stable ROM right now? I don't get a kick out of the phone FCing on me when I try to edit a photo or something.
Thanks for any clarification.

Samsung - stable
AOSP - not 100% because lack of sources, but OK for a daily driver.

AOSP ROMs will never be as stable as Sammy-based ones
Ok, I think my question got a bit misconstrued. I get that a Samsung ROM is always more stable since it's the base of this phone's OS.
But therefore...
- 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 BOTH stable on Samsung.
- neither stable on AOSP because of lack of sources
Is that correct, then?
And by stable, I mean that I just want a camera that works with all features, can save to the SD card, no weird crashes from using basic phone menus and functions (volume, notifications menu, etc)

no, samsung 4.2 is not stable, like I said.
by your definition of stable, AOSP 4.2 is stable
Ok, I see. In which ways do AOSP 4.2 ROMs fall short then? I know they obviously don't have Samsung apps like S-beam, smart TV functionality, NFC, etc. But is there something that's always 'broken' on AOSP ROMs?

Jelly Bean stable?
I recently bought a galaxy s3 and had flashed the 4.2.2 jellybean update. it worked great, no crashes and ran smooth. On monday it notified me that there were two stable updates. I updated both one at a time with TWRP and flashed. It seemed ok all night. In the morning when i plugged in my USB flash drive with my OTG cable the screen just went black. Now it doesnt do anything. It wont even go in to download mode. So i guess i the 4.2.2 was ok but the updates werent.

That's because you don't know what stable means.
Stable means... Does not reboot constantly. Does not freeze constantly. It runs stable.
You are talking about broken features. Camera is easily fixable. MMS, well if you want MMS, go back to Smasung ROMs.

Ok, well that's true, that's why I'm asking these questions.
So do 4.2.1, 4.2.2 AOSP have the same level of stability?
Is 4.1.2 considered something that's MUCH more stable at this point?

Its hard for me to Quantify.
I only used Smasung 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1 Then AOSP 4.2.2
I dont use MMS so the fact it doesn't work properly is no big deal for me. It force closes when I try to attach a picture. I am not sure about receiving MMS (As I say I dont use it).
For me, AOSP - everything works great. More stable to me than Samsung ROMs (less bugs) except MMS which i do not use. Actually I find AOSP faster too.
I do not use the stock AOSP camera. I never had problems with it but some users did. But i replace mine with the camera that has more functions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
What I would say is, If you think you can live without MMS, give it a try. Dont mess with overclock / undervolt and see for yourself how fast and stable it is.
If you really need MMS, Maybe it is not worth the test. I am not sure how apps like Go SMS handle it.
In conclusion, I find AOSP faster and more stable than sammy. But I dont use MMS.
I hope this helps somewhat
Yeah, it does help. I can find another solution for MMS (GoSMS Pro, etc) but I don't want basic things being broken. Like I just found out there's no mute on this ROM for audio. Somebody mentioned something about not being able to silence their ringer. That's something I can't be flexible about. I guess I'll look for an AOSP other than temasek.
I like paranoid android myself. Definitely silences

I mean this question in the most sincere way. I know there are some incredibly talented people out there working very hard on AOSP roms. I'm just legitimately curious and admittedly ignorant. What is so difficult about removing the HTC sense rom and replacing it with a pure stock android rom like what's found on the nexus? I know a rom like CM9 aims to add back in a lot more to the AOSP so I can imagine how difficult that must be to get everything working. If all that's being done though is just installing a pure Android rom on a phone already running Android (with a bunch of crap added in), what would make that a difficult task, that to the best of my knowledge, is still not done yet? At the risk of further showing my ignorance, what makes it different from the PC world where you could re format a PC and install a fresh windows OS on it, and get rid of all the OEM bloatware.
Thank you.
A lot of it must be rewritten from scratch because the drivers and what not are proprietary.
Please use the Q&A section to post questions in.
For starters, you dont get AOSP ROMS by removing HTC sense. You get AOSP ROMS by building from scratch from googles code.
Thats what takes so long. Getting googles code to work with our proprietary (read: no source for the devs) drivers.
The other part of it is the devs arent working on ICS(CM9). They've skipped that completely and are working on jellybean (CM10)
Deck has a build that is pretty friggin sweet.

How close to a daily driver would you say Deck's CM10 build is right now? Last I checked the only thing missing was the camera which helped out with some other bugs that had been happening. I could probably live without a camera if everything else seems to be in tip-top shape.

Well it appears that there are only nightly builds for the i9100, but I can't see any known problems.
This is my mum's phone, and she has been telling me it's really slow so I thought going from 4.0 stock to CM10.1 4.2 would really help that, with project butter and stuff.
She uses wi-fi tethering alot, and I've seen on alot of custom roms that that doesn't work, but as I said, I didn't see any known problems for the CM10.1 nightly build. I don't want to flash her phone with something that'll make her lose functionality.

Install the samsung JB leak..I would not recommend CM since it is still under development. But there are no big issues i myself use it. But since its your mom's phone its better to keep it stock.
Also there isn't Project Butter in CM.
But did you flash with a full wipe? Quite strange your mom does notice it's very slow, because there are a lot of people (understatement) who are really satisfied with the performances of CM10.1.

Not your phone, not running stock & an 'average' user using it day to day sounds like asking for problems to me. And potentially a lot of you playing 'tech support'.
If it were me, I'd be leaving it stock.
Do a factory reset & a clean install of apps/etc if it's a bit sluggish (remember, you don't have first hand knowledge of this, just what she's told you & also remember she is an 'average' user, so it may be running just fine most of the time).
Why not Chameleon Rom?

Hi,
I find the posted threads confusing. I'm looking to flash ICS on my dad's Atrix 4G as he needs it for an app he considers crucial . Unlike me, he isn't very interested in experimenting with any exciting ROMs; he needs his phone to function: on and off, sleep, text, call, bluetooth, browser, camera, maybe music, without issue.
Fingerprint reader is not critical.
Is there a ROM that is quite stable in all these areas? Posts seem to say yes, but they also seem to say that stable ICS/JB is not possible because of kernel issues.
What's the bottom line?? Please advise me.
Stable ICS? No such thing. Been said countless times already. I don't see what is so confusing about that. Despite enthusiastic feedback from people, no ICS/JB is actually stable enough for day-to-day usage. That's why pretty much all of them get quite frequent updates.
Does the app in question not work on GB?

It doesn't, no. Unless there's a way to have ICS runtime environment or st but that sounds impossible
And the confusion stems from claims like "..stable enough for a daily rom!" in comments I keep finding in specific ICS ROM threads. I'm sure that's the enthusiasm you're talking about lol.
I've been using epinter's jb 4.1.2 for months. video cam & fingerprint not working. everything else, including photo-cam, works. and let me tell my experience and you decide:
in normal use, the battery can last 2 days. and seldomly, kernel seems to wake the device, causing battery drain. problem ends after a reboot.
I call it a stable enough daily rom. but it'll be your decision.

As the dev team threads have said, the ICS/JB kernel alpha release is immenint. It may be an alpha, but it may give you the results you're looking for if combo'd with an ICS or higher ROM. Current ROMs are stable to a point without the dev'd kernel. While i recommend waiting for a beta to be released, you're more than welcome to test out the alpha once its released while keeping the usual advisory warnings in mind. If you don't want to wait for the alpha, feel free to try one of the ICS ROMs, but be warned, camera issues and battery life issues are major areas to watch out for. These issues may be fixed by the dev'd kernel.
Personally i've been using Atrics v2.0 and epinter's CM 10.1. Both are good.

I don't have any experience with Epinter's CM10, but from what i just read, comparing it to 10.1, it has the same issues. I haven't had any issues with messaging via ROM messaging app or via Go SMS. The kernel is supposed to solve the problems. However, battery life seems to still be an issue from what I've been reading. They disabled the camera for testing on the battery issue at the moment. At the moment, CM9, 10, and 10.1 all are running on variations of the GB kernel. While it was tweaked enough to make each ROM stable, the full potential won't be reached until the new kernel is implemented
The CM ROMs, in my opinion, are stable enough for daily use. Its up to you which ROM you want to use. As far as the kernel goes, I'll be trying out the alpha once its released, but it would be wiser to wait on the beta.

This is true, just remember to make a nandroid backup (webtop optional) prior to testing out any non stock ROM.
With my setup, i've got backups of 2.3.6's 141 and 145, 4.0.4, and 4.2.1, and if i'm doing a straight restore from one to another, roughly 20-30 mins until i'm back up and running.

I like Touchwiz with its multiwindow and s-pen functions, is there a rom with version 4.2.2 if not which rom is best of the 4.1.2 versions? Thank you in advance! :good:
there's no 4.2 tw rom for n2 yet, it'll have to get ported from the s4 if it's going to happen before the international n2 gets updated, but that's a lot of work.
as far as 4.1 goes there's lots of great fit stable rom's right now. meanbean ice is my favorite but beans, jedi, and clean are really popular.
if you enjoy multiwindow, you might want to try minitab or moon (being released soon) because they're note 10.1 roms ported to our phones so they have floating windows (multiwindow on steroids).

Try a different kernel, I'm using Plasma and easily get what I did with TW of not better.
As for porting..... That would be a huge pain in the ass to do, porting from the international Note 2 isn't terribly difficult but porting from another phone is. Also if the Dev just did a straight port them you would have no S-pen features at all. It would be extremely difficult to get a good working version of 4.2 ported without S-pen features, with S-pen features would take even longer because the Dev would have to figure out how to add it in without breaking everything. Really don't expect to see a fully functional 4.2 TW ROM with S-pen support until it has been released on the international Note 2.

I actually have been using Plasma.
I've tried everything people claim fixes it. I've flashed the latest modem, been running matrix/plasma for months, updated the play store, etc.
The android OS still constantly takes 50-60% battery or more and the phone rarely goes into deep sleep. I just flashed Beans 18 and restored my LS2.5 nandroid about 10 minutes later. Touchwiz is ugly as hell, so I'm just going to suffer through the battery life in hopes that it magically gets fixed.

That's weird that you've heard that. I can easily get excellent battery life out of 4.2, it depenfs how you use your device but get greenify, get matrix or plasma whatever the hell he calls it more and learn how to tweak a kernel for your needs, this case being battery life.

Well it's specifically 4.2.2 and cm 10.1 builds that have the problem. My friend had cm 10 and had great battery life, but when I told him about my phone and 4.2.2 he flashed a cm 10.1 ROM and his battery life went down as well.
They talk about it in the cm thread too.
But I tried tweaking the voltages just like in that guide and as soon as I make any changes the phone locks up and I have to pull the battery. One time it actually messed up something on the phone because it got stuck in a boot loop and I had to restore a nandroid.
I've tried in stweaks and in the native performance settings and it always ends up locking up and I have to pull the battery.

Damn that sucks, processors are so touchy they really do vary phone to phone. I don't follow CM so that makes sense. The best you can do is start undervolting one step at a time and seeing how much your phone can take. I think this CPU is so capable you could probably keep a max of 3 cores online, and take the max clockspeeds of the CPU and GPU down a step (so 1400 for CPU, i forget what's right under 533mhz for GPU).
That's if you really want to be on CM. There's a lot of great 4.2 alternatives out there that are more capable and stable than CM.

Well it's specifically 4.2.2 and cm 10.1 builds that have the problem. My friend had cm 10 and had great battery life, but when I told him about my phone and 4.2.2 he flashed a cm 10.1 ROM and his battery life went down as well.
They talk about it in the cm thread too.
But I tried tweaking the voltages just like in that guide and as soon as I make any changes the phone locks up and I have to pull the battery. One time it actually messed up something on the phone because it got stuck in a boot loop and I had to restore a nandroid.
I've tried in stweaks and in the native performance settings and it always ends up locking up and I have to pull the battery.

Seeing as how the AOSP builds are all based on CM it would be a widespread problem. You have an app that is eating up your battery instead of allowing it to go into deep sleep. Get wake lock detector or a similar app from the market and let it run.

I saw this via SamMobile. It makes me think we aren't too far from a genuine 4.2.2 rom.

Apparently the Note 2 build was put on hold for a new 4.1.2 build but we should hopefully see one in the next 3 months on the international version that can be ported.

Try the touchwiz roms. Every one of them is solid. The only issues are gps on the international based builds and thats an easy fix. They are all fully functional and smooth running. No need for that stock crap lol.

Okay, I have been on Jelly Beans ROMs since practically build 1, it seems. I have never tried out another ROM on this device. Something here lately has really gotten my attention though, and that is the "Halo" usage from ParanoidAndroid ROMs. I spent almost an hour last night reading through the bazillion pages on the Original Android Development tab for this ROM (PA). There were so many mixed reviews about what works and what doesn't on the latest release that I am not sure what to think.
My question is, ultimately, is there a build of ParanoidAndroid for VZW Note 2 that is "mostly" bug free (GPS, graphical issues, etc)? I even looked at JellyBam, but there is even less of a clear message with that ROM. I need something for a daily driver and really don't want to have to do work arounds for the things I typically do on my device (Phone Calls to Netflix and all between).
Anyone have any ideas? Like I said, the only build of Paranoid I could find was the newly released one that looks to be built off Android 4.3 (Cyanogenmod, I assume). If that is the case, from what I have read, there are a few things that aren't tied up completely on it. Older build of Paranoid maybe? (Where do I find that?)
Thanks for the help guys.

You can try the 4.2.2 version of paranoid android if you want to be conservative. I think it was 3.68 or something

I'm running build 3.99, have been for a month now. Out of 10 I give it a..... 10. There's really no bugs at all, I hardly get graphical issues but they do exist. I got a GPS lock and you can by getting a lock in a tw ROM in maps, then immediately flashing as you would a normal rom. But honestly this is my favorite ROM I've had on all my android phones so fast and stable and great battery life. Hope this helps.

I think I am going to go with to go with a 4.2.2 ROM just for overall stability.
In regards to gapps, is the general rule of thumb just to use the most recent?

Yeah basically. Just make sure you download the one for 4.2.2 not a 4.3 gapps
Okay, got version 3.68 installed and proper gapps. Haven't had time to really dive in to get everything set up. Everything is running smooth and quick. The only issue I have at the moment is that I can't get a 4g connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks for all the help thus far.
