I just bought my first ever AT&T phone, and service, and even though the service is great the phone leaves something to be desired.
I LOVE this phone and the "phablet" style and the S-Pen. I've been reading reviews and watching videos and the phone looks so amazing in all of that but then I take it home and----> *finger scroll*...sccc-roo-lll..ss...sl..oow.
I've rooted it, after I realized it was lagging, and then I flashed a custom rom and...lll...aaa..ggg...It's not INCREDIBLY laggy. It's just not as smoothe as everyone Else's I'vee seen. Why??
Please help me, I go to work at 5PM(Central time), and I wanted to show my manager the phone so we can get some for the store.
I'm not a beginner to flashing or modifications, previous E4GT owner, but this problem is killing me.
Just install the latest ics leak and your lag problems will disappear.
It's very solid smooth and battery life is a big improvement.

Maybe try electrons ICS of the latest leak. Basically just super stock, but seems snappy and gives you the latest leak and modem. Plus a bit of debloating. Scrolling and screen rotation seems better in it. (latest is f5)
If that's not enough try a CM9 variant from hotwire or others.
Also, consider dumping touch wiz. It doesn't do landscape home screen and that is enough to make me not care about it. Get adwex or adw if you don't want to pay money. Nova launcher is also very good.

Install the ICS UCLF5 Leak, root, debloat, Run Apex Launcher as default. Smooth sailing.

I got my note less than a week ago. I didn't root it and it's been running smooth like butter. I sometimes don't get why reviews on those tech sites were complaining about the note was lagging. Maybe they got a bad phone?

My phone lags a tad when power savings are enabled but it is not horrible.

Now I came from htc EVO category and rooting was the norm.. The biggest reason was because the froyo rom looked terrible.. other Roms sped up the EVO and increased batt life.. On this phone however the ics is amazing the batt life is great and the speed is fine... So why tweek and accidently break something while rooting?? I've looked through the dev roms and they all seem the same..

And possibly bricking your phone and having to fork out 150 bucks for a new phone. Sure you can do it for the split sec speed adjustment, because you can lol? Is it really worth it? And trust me I was a flashoholic on EVO . I can def see rooted users running into issues with system updates..

I have the same problem!! thanks for your reply.
If rooting isn't for you and you're just gonna talking about the risks then why are you here? You already know what comes with root and the things you can do..if you're happy without it then that's great. it isn't necessary to bang on anyone who chooses to root for whatever reason they choose.
Most people who root aren't gonna run into issues with "system updates".
I root because I like to have control of what apps are on my phone, whats running and what isn't. What's jacking my data and killing my battery. I like using adfree to block some of the more annoying ads .. I like the tweaks, I like the option of de-bloating, I like (if we get it) AOSP options like CM9 and MIUI, I like the ability to theme and change status bar icons/notification pulldown etc etc. I root more for the customization than the performance boost, because honestly, there isn't much but it is there.
Later in the life of the phone, I really enjoy the ports from newer phones and newer software..gives me a taste of what another phone might be like and if it's worth my time. The funny thing is, the Sense4 port on the evo3D ran better than this phone at first..but it has settled down and cleaned up since, with the help of root.

Flipz was on the evo. Did you know the Evo devs before you flashed their roms? This is my 4th android phone, all rooted. I wouldn't hesitate a bit to root again even if I somehow bricked my phone. I know the risks, you have to do something pretty silly to hard brick your phone.
This isn't some unknown bootleg pirate website, XDA is legit as it gets and most devs are recognized in one way or another.

You know that these phones have auto correct right? I'd make more use of it seeing as how accesseries isn't a word. Anyway I found that ad away is more than a good reason to root.
Sent from my EVO
I came from the 3D, and before that, the original Evo 4G. I rooted my 4G a few months after getting it, when I discovered the development community. I then proceeded to install just about every ROM that got released, regardless of what it was. I ran that poor phone into the ground with the amount of flashing I did.
I then moved on to the 3D, which I rooted just as soon as it was charged enough. I got lucky and got an hboot 1.4 version (I bought the phone right after this last Christmas). By the end of that day I was running on Warm 2.3. The following weeks found me trying out tons of different ICS ROMs, and whatever was available. I stuck with that phone until this phone released.
When I first got the phone, I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to root it. I knew that there were some benefits to rooting and installing a custom ROM but I just didn't feel that it was worth it anymore. I used to flash a ROM (or two) a day, but now I don't even feel like rooting my phone. Why not?
I got tired of the hassle involved. It's great fun to try different ROMs, but it's so much to keep track of that it makes using the phone almost like a chore. Having to check for tiny updates every day in order to get the best experience is cool at first, but after a while the effect started to wear off on me. At this point I don't really see the merit in installing a custom ROM that will give me a couple of extra features. Sure, quick settings is cool. But I haven't had a single performance issue, the multitasking doesn't bother me, and the battery life is stellar. My benchmark scores are just about the same as other ROMs, and I'm sure my battery life is as well.
Rooting isn't for everybody. It certainly is something that I enjoy, and I am sure that I will eventually root this phone. But I've found in this past month or so that I can enjoy my phone just fine without changing every little bit about it. This phone is a great device, that I believe doesn't require rooting to enjoy. I personally feel that the only potential that can be brought out is in regards to Jellybean, since it is a step above ICS and we don't have it yet.
All of that being said, once we have a somewhat stable JB build, I will root and install that, because I want to try it. But OP, don't feel bad if you don't want to root. It isn't something you HAVE to do in order to enjoy your phone. Don't let other people tell you that you're stupid for not rooting it. Sure, it's a nice thing to be able to do, and I love it, but if you can't find a reason to root on your own, I would suggest that you don't do it. I know I won't until I can find that reason (JB).

Hello! So I hear you want to find a ROM that a) has great battery life b) makes your phone look like the GS3 or Nexus 4 c) makes you breakfast or d) all of the above. Well sadly I cannot tell you what the "best ROM" is because I am not you. I do not do what you do on an every day basis and, likewise, I do not use my phone for the same reasons that you do. Of course, I can help you find a ROM, but in the end it boils down to you. This guide will show you the ins and outs of being a ROM, er, consumer?
Battery life? is a common problem among smartphone owners. The good news is that with the right settings and almost any custom ROM, you will be able to make your battery last (almost?) a day. You can turn your brightness down and turn off GPS and Wifi when not using those features. That will most definitely conserve your battery life. But, overall, battery life depends on your usage of the phone.
Finding a preferred version of Android may help you in your hunt for ROMs. You may like ICS for its stability. You may like Jellybean 4.2 for it's bleeding-edge new features (or you may hate it for that reason). Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to try different versions of Android.
Touchwiz or Stock Android? is another important question to ask. Really, this question is all about aesthetics and maybe a couple of features. Touchwiz is what ships with your Galaxy S II and the GS2's newest TW update would be 4.1 (which means it's essentially up to date). Touchwiz is developed by Samsung and can be modified but not built from source. Stock Android is what is on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 and can be built from source, allowing faster updates for you.
Stability? If you are using your phone for daily use, you will want a Daily Driver, or stable ROM. These ROMs will allow you to use (almost) all of the features that came with your phone and more.
Now, for the million dollar question... What is the best ROM? There is no best ROM, silly! There are a variety of ROMs for a reason, and that reason is that every user is different. There will never be a right or wrong ROM or one that rises above the rest because it truly is a matter of preference.
How do I find the ROM that is best for me, then? You flash different things until you find something you love and something that works for your personal needs!

I know all ROMs are unique, and have millions of variations. It's just the fact that some of their bugs are really, well, dangerous for us "n00b" users. I'd rather feel confident that the ROM I am flasing on my s2 will actually work, and not break or brick my phone.

Well currently I'm running PAC ROM. I like how I have it set up currently... it has a few bugs, but those usually only take place at boot. I've used Miui and Samsung JB before also... I've actually flashed most of the ROMs available for i777 (both built from source and ported).
Absolutely! That's why before trying out a ROM I personally will read the OP and user comments and whatnot. You always have to be careful of special instructions and bugs and things. The good thing about the GS2 is that it is almost virtually unbrickable (thanks to Odin/Heimdall). But it is always good to be careful when doing these things... From my experience flashing via CWM isn't really unsafe as long as you have a ROM AND kernel made for your phone. Kernels contain the recovery and vital files, so having a kernel made for the i777 is very important. Most i9100 ROMs will work on the i777 with tweaking (swapping out kernel, keylayout files, etc.) but you should NEVER flash a kernel or (not ported) ROM not made for our phone because that's when things can potentially (and probably will) get sticky.
I've been flashing ROMs since December 2011 or so... I've never hardbricked (read: rendered unusable) a device through ROM flashing in CWM. I've softbricked many times however (bootloop, etc.) but those were easily recoverable through either my kernel's recovery or Odin. Am I saying to not be careful? No, of course not. But my point is you've got to take some sort of risk if you want that better battery life or stock feel. It's up to you to decide whether or not that risk is worth it.
Of course, if you have any questions not answered in a development thread, you should ask them in that thread. I'm sure someone would be happy to help you as long as you have used the search feature. I'm also here as a user/flashaholic/porter/modder if you need any help but I can't guarantee I'll have an answer for you.
Sorry if I didn't answer your question in a satisfactory way and sorry if I made this too long, haha.
Shostock 3 looks pretty awesome! Once I get my SGH-S730m unlocked, I will see to try Shostock 3 (and eventually the PAC ROM if all goes well) on my S2. I always want a back-up phone just in case.
Thanks for the help!

Giving Synergy a try. But still keeping CR backup
If you're looking for a fantastic running ROM with the same odex'd stock feel go with synergy and odex it yourself.
The "life after" stuff is a bit melodramatic

Try Hyper
The newest release of Hyper is incredibly stable, easy to use, and insanely fast. I strongly suggest giving it a spin.
disappointing clean rom is stable I will definitely miss it.. Thanks for a nandroid backup that I will keep forever
just wondering if you have a link or anything saying he's stopping development for it?

Another CleanRom fan here.....still running 1.2 cause it worked so well for me.
I wish Scott well in whatever he is doing next! I certainly appreciate all the hard work he put in.
Thank you, Scott!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to eclipse and used tb and deleted health and Samsung link. The two things left of bloat. Then flashed latest faux. I dig it so far. Farewell clean.

Life after cleanrom is fine but better with it. Scott stopping has me wondering the birth to death rate of android developers. More devices and old ones that stay relevant already spread them out pretty good.
No idea Dev had stopped.. Def a great and stable ROM...now decisions decisions

My signature should say it all
Yep totally bummed he's stopping, just loved how great everything worked on his ROM. I will give Hyper a try again. I used it before but had a few issues, looks like he's got it running pretty good now. Can always nandroid...

yeah I'm still on 1.0 cause its the best battery life. I've tried 1.3 and 1.5R2 though not 1.6 or 1.6.5.
1.0 is still my DD. Smooth no lag (though i had no lag on stock) and everything worked with crazy battery life. I have all of the Zips DL so I'll always have the nandroids plus the zips. The battery life i got on 1.0 (.25% drain per hour idle and 6-7 hours on screen time) makes me not need to mess with other roms right now. Unfortunatley i was not getting the same battery life with the other versions of this rom.
Also unfortunate he closed the thread right away as we're unable to thank him for a great ROM. I wish him the best and hope whatever changed in his life is good or if not so good things improve for him. Thanks Scott

Not me, I like CleanRom, I've tried Hyperdrive and really like all it's features but I'm running CynogenMod. Why? Because it works on my phone and NO TouchWiz ROM I've tried does work properly with all my apps and I can't figure it out? Apps that ran just fine on my Galaxy S3 work perfectly on AOSP ROMs on the S4 but will not work on any TouchWiz ROM and I haven't the knowledge, time or inclination to trouble shoot TouchWiz so.... CyanogenMod.
I almost cried when I read that message. After having terrible lag issues with hyperdrive, it looks like synergy will be my next go to rom when the update comes out which I will like because it will have more features than CR did. I don't like anything crazy but some tweaks that scott doesn't offer in his stockish rom will be nice. I am going to miss him very much though. Great guy and great dev.

Lmao, I loled when I read this... Good stuff.
I am far from a dev, hell I've barely been using an android device for a month but, devs have such a thankless job/hobby. I am not aware of one that gets money for anything they do (short of "bounties") yet, get ridiculed when something they do may not work for someone.
I appreciate everything, would love to get into doing things like this just have no idea where to start. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at making my own ROM for personal use and if good enough, maybe public. I just have zero experience, lol
Hello. I want to flash a rom on my fathers note.
Will anyonw be kind enough to point me out to what is considered the most stable rom.
Preferable nothing over 4.2.
I flash cm10.2 and it has a weird thing where the screen fails.
I have carbon 4.4.2 on my razr hd and it works flawless. But it seems that roms on thia device arent doing so well.
If anybody ia able to help me i would apreciatte it a bunch.

Some moderators have been shutting these kinds of threads down do to the fact that you are asking for someone to rate ones work over another, but I will chime in before that happens.
I am not going to rate one over the other though, as all phones run differently as you are finding out.
2 roms that MY phone had no problem running......Padawan and Black Jelly.
These 2 are close to stock with bloatware removed. Remember this is your dads phone. There are plenty of other roms I like, but require more maintainence. How often are you going to want to fiddle with dads phone.
Not much has been happening on these threads. You will not see many recent issues. That is how stable they are. I will recommend you read and in Padawan, I will refer you back to p. 355 to about p. 380. This was just after update and many issues were solved at that time. My phone never ran better.
If you get lag, read again, you werent paying attention.
Good luck.

If you follow development rom threads you can answer your own question. That is what is expected of people to do rather than create threads like this. That being said I don't really know what you are hearing about 4.4.2 roms but my wife has been running a 4.4.2 rom for well over a week without any reboot. After installing uber,a screen jitter patch, and the camera patch everything seems to work fine. Granted she really doesn't use bluetooth much but when she does it seems to work and there is an echo when using speaker phone on the other end. So really only reason not to go to 4.4.2 would be the speaker phone issue which I believe is present on any rom above 4.2. There is no way I could live on 4.1 or below personally.
Anyway to answer your question read the threads in the development section of this forum and educate yourself. Maybe even go as far as to flash a few roms and try them out and decide which rom is right for you.
Battery on Kit Kat seems to have a bit of a shorter life span also.
What you were stating Butcher, may be the reasons he is asking for stable. Patch here, kernal there, 4.4 has been very stable. But he is putting it on dads phone. If I were flashing dads phone, I would want something I am not having to tweak so much, especially if dad cant tweak himself.
Would you want to change the brakes on dads car every other day. Some roms are like a medication. The phone seems to build up tolerances, then need to make an adjustment.
But yes, read.

Yes thank you.
I would usually just flash away any rom ghat sounds promising to me. And yes i would tweak as much needed to be exactly how i wanted. From overclocking to to voltages, to removing navbar to what ever is needed.
But like you said this is for my father and i would want to have it be the most stable ao he wont have to deal with reeboots and and weird screen fails.
And i have been reading and uber has been mentioner a lot. Some say good some say its bad.
Kinda have been seeing a mixed opinion about it. Thats why i have been asking for what somebody consideres a stable rom.
Also i dont have the opportunity to mess with his phone when ever i want.
He is on gingerbread and god is that slow.
Thank you both i will see the roms that were mentioned here, and read for others.

If you went to the Samsung website, you can get an official upgrade there or even calling the carrier and have the upgrade it. JB is the official upgrade. If something goes wrong there, then at least they are resposible if something goes wrong.
