I ran Liquid a few days ago, I LOVED it, but just wasn't sure it was worth losing the camera. I am just wondering if you guys think it is worth losing some of the TW stuff for AOSP? Do you guys think the camera is much worse than the TW camera?
I'm my experience, it depends on the ROM. As long as the camera works properly, I think AOSP is on par with TW, quality wise. Obviously the features are gone but I'm OK with the quality. It's all the features that have me torn.
My opinion.

Google Edition S4 coming to Verizon. So you will have AOSP with a great camera very soon. No compromise

AOSP is 100000x smoother than TW. IMO. Much better experience

I love PA and AOKP tweaking but I miss the camera (good stock HDR in particular) and certain stability like WiFi AC. With the features available in Hyperdrive and my initial impression of the stock Rom (now thinning 4.2.2), I don't think I'll regret coming back, but if I do, I'll switch back once the Google edition roms hit.

which is the best ROM for you and why?

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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899085 this is one of the best ics roms.
this is one of the most innovative I have used and still liked. It can do anything

this one is really vanilla (as far as CM goes that is. Its really good) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113140
I think that the first one has about the fastest boot time in existence, and a really good battery life. In my opinion it is very stable, I think a lot of people will agree.
I also personally dislike almost all sense roms. I feel that it is just bloatware. All of the roms I have tried have been really good though.
What do you people think about these 2 ROMs? Looking for a compare and contrast here. I've used both and both are very impressive ROMs just looking for some opinions..trying to gigurenout which to make daily driver

You ever figure out which was better?
I personally like Slim 2.2beta 2013119, the 4.3 version.
I had SlimKat, CM11 and LiquidKat from Liquidsmooth Team and for some reason I have gotten worse signal with the 4.4 ROMs.
And that's what caused me to reverrt back to a 4.3 ROM.
There was one good working 4.4 ROM Nexus Expereince 1.1 stable build that everything to seemed to work good.
I'll keep trying the new releases sa they come out for a really good 4.4 though.
I like slim best as well so far although the screen artifacts are a deal breaker for me. Back on cm10 for now until 4.4 becomes more stable.... I seem to have storage issues with both slimkat and cm11

Have you tryed the latest slimkat 1-6 with JBX-Kernel? no screen artifacts and more stable and better battery life.
It's kind of crazy to me that our custom ROMs in this community have shown themselves to be A LOT more stable on this phone then "Fresh Out Of The Box" TouchWiz... for me at least

No doubt. That's because the core dev base is outstanding, and because a lot of the development work pushes the inherent flaws in the OTA builds. To build a rom, I believe one must dig into the guts of the OS, learning both how it functions and how to improve it.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
well if your going to keep touchwiz, you may as well be using a stable touchwiz.
though if it will make yall feel better im sure i could whip up some extra buggy roms with no problem
So long story short I came from a long line of HTC phones and one of the big things I miss about the ROMs is when the developers would take a stock OTA and debloat everything down to just the basic elements and throw a launcher on it. You would get all of the benefits of the OTA (better camera, better reception, etc) but still have the slimmed down fast OS. AI still have not seen that here. I was wondering if any dev would mind stripping a ROM down or if anyone just feels like I do?

I know what you're talking about. Its not quite the same, but you could take one of the already debloated ROMs and go through and remove as many system apps as possible before affecting stability and performance.

Just pick a nicely debloated ROM and then use a launcher like Holo HD. You can customize the heck out of it...you will never know TW is even there.
I found a really good debloat script for the Note 2. Worked like a dream. I took a debloat ROM and stripped it down even more. I love it. Here is the link for anyone else like me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932202

The reception is up to the radio which we can flash separately from any of the roms if we like. Camera I belive you could just pull the app from the new image of the update. Glad the script got you the right set up.

Not sure how exactly the note 2 is compared to the S3 that I had, but this isn't necessarily true. CM based roms have to reverse engineer the radio resulting in worse signal and data handoffs relative to touchwiz. As far as I know, there has never been a fully functioning touchwiz camera ported to CM. Correct me if I am wrong.
If you want better signal and camera, touchwiz is your only option. I've flashed dozens of CM based roms, and all have the similar data and csmera issues. Remember, your experience may vary, but this is all relative to touchwiz, which has the proprietary drivers.

I used a flashable zip. And I also came from a samsung galaxy s 3 and I assume that the camera and radios like you said are reverse engineered. I have a four month old baby so to me I need the camera or my wife will kill me
