So, I am a bit confused here, I usually have motorola phones, but for $110 I couldn't resist getting this phone.
I tried to flash a rom that say "GEEB" in it, and I just get a get build prop error, it's an E970 from ATT.
I'm just confused as I believe it should work. Unless I am missing something.
I also was wondering, when I boot into Fastboot, should the phone say Mako or E970?
Are you using cwm or twrp? Fastboot should show mako.

First flash kernel and than flash rom in recovery.
If you follow this steps you won't have problem any more.

I'm using Philz CWM. As far as the kernel goes, is there a specific one I need to flash? I sound like a noob, which isn't true, but I've never had an LG lol, and it seems different.

Actually, no, there is not a specific kernel you would need to flash, and I'm not sure why he would have said that.
If you successfully unlocked your bootloader, your phone should identify itself as Mako. If you see E970 on gastboot, this means you still need to unlock your bootloader.

Ah ok, I thought as much. I guess I am just having random issues, I replaced the screen on it and the prox sensor was a bit off, so I had to fix that.
Now that that is OK though. I have Flashed CM 11 and I have flashed LiquidSmooth KK and JB, and both have issues with WiFi and data connection.
Is there a good daily rom that just makes it smoother and not destroy it's battery? Lol.Seems ARTMOD is really popular lol, I presume that is the good one here?

If you're having wifi issues, its possible you have an older radio. There's a thread, I think in General, with all the available radios. The ATT JB radio and N4 hybrids seem to have the most success, try the ATT JB radio first and then go from there.
Artmod is OK, but if you want stock I'd honestly recommend SnowJB. Its older but works better.
Mathsz's CarbonRom or official PA-Legacy builds have given me the best results so far, with Vanir and Commotio (which is also in the Vanir thread) share second place.

Oh yeah, the stock ICS rom is objectively worse in every way than almost every custom rom available here, Especially with the improvements in battery life brought by 4.3 & 4.4
Back on 4.2, I would get slightly better battery life on stock 4.1 than custom roms.
However, ever since 4.3, custom roms have had unequivocally better battery than stock, and basically anything 4.4 is gonna have great battery. Most days, I average ~15 hours battery, with ~4 hours screen on, and this is with everything turned on and playing games throughout the day.
And with a stock 4.4 update coming this summer, things will only get better.

nothing missing ? eclipse. some things missing, but better than cm10 as far as battery life, apps working, and features? cm9 for sure. more reboots, but better performance. just my 2 cents.
i used cm10 for a long time, but got really tired of calls cutting out because of the screen proximity sensor. i switched to cm9 a few months ago and have been on it ever since. it all depends on what you use your phone for really.

if you take a lot of photos, or especially video, or use the web a lot, or mainly on your phone than your computer, if you need your phone to have all web functionality at ALL times, cm9 might not be for you. i was just suggesting the most up to date but usable rom that we have. ECLIPSE is a great rom, but it is gingerbread, kind of outdated as far as features go. but everything on eclipse works. everything.
just depends on what you use your phone for. if you just rooted, and are still on 2.3.4, try cm9 for a day or two. more than likely, youa re on 2.3.5, in which case you may as well just try eclipse first. good luck! let us know how it goes/ any questions you have .
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.

I'll look at that guide, but everyone says that it's a problem with the rom. Not saying it's specifically this rom, but 4.2.2 in general. I mentioned this problem to my friend and he installed a 4.2.2 rom and had the same problem. He's got a different phone, I forget what it is. I even googled it after switching to aosp and it's a common problem on tablets with stock 4.2.2 as well.
I stopped reading about it but last I checked, nobody really knew wtf was causing it.

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.

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.

so many people ask this same question and anyone with real experience here is going to tell you..................
every ROM is going to act differently on every phone. it also depends on what kind of user you are.
common rule here (im not being a jerk,you should know this) is read, read, read.
to show you how often someone asks this very question, go back out one screen and down about 5 threads "looking for an excellent ROM"
I have posted my honest opinions and what you can expect from all available firmwares.
good luck my friend

This is why I am trying to describe what kind of user I am. To reiterate, my priorities are stability, battery life, functionality and speed, roughly in that order.
To elaborate, I want:
Something that will run smoothly
Something who's battery will last for a day if I use it with moderation
Something that, while not necessarily on the bleeding edge of development, has lots of new features
Something with a smooth UI and good, modern capabilities
In terms of specific features that I'd like to try or find necessary, I want a ROM that supports the Jelly Bean panoramic picture mode; one that supports Wifi Hotspots; one with a good toggle menu for preserving battery and turning on / off common features, flash, etc.; and one that has a variety of other useful things to explore / try out. Maybe something with good audio capabilities?

from the sounds of it, you may want to go with 4.1.2. it is based off of Touchwiz. SUPER solid and great support from the community. not many updates. it is so solid, it does not need them. but others are still there for support.
personal choice.......PADAWAN........others have had some issues with lag (biggest complaint) and I refer them ( an I have the most thanks on thread) to p.355-378. read through those pages. obviously others have not figured it out cause they don't read. those setting had my phone running better than it ever ran, even out of box.

I want to make sure that I understand this correctly. The latest update pushed out by SAMSUNG for the i717 was 4.1.2, so therefore the roms built off of 4.1 are using SAMSUNG TouchWiz as a base. The one's built off of 4.2 are using some other base, be it AOKP, CM, etc. Is this correct?
I'm not so certain that I want to go to a 4.1 ROM. Looking over the feature-set of Google's 4.2, I'm seeing quite a bit that I want - for instance, I *really* want Photo Sphere.
I think that if there's a stable version of 4.3 that isn't a battery hog, and that has a decent extended feature-set on-top of it, then that's what I want. That said, if 4.3 is very unstable I'm up for trying 4.2. The only way I'd want 4.1 is if there is no 4.2 or above that is good with battery usage and more-or-less stable.
So, any recommendations with that in mind?

first part..................correct.
that is the good thing about 4.2, highly customizable, but you sacrifice stability. lots of updates, but I am afraid that is because there is mainly one thing that is trying t be fixed, RANDOM REBOOTS. some have success controlling them with an alternate KERNAL which provides the ability to OC/UV, but it can be a constant maintinence on your part. honestly, there is never a good time for a reboot. 4.2 is a much bigger battery hog and a reboot is only going to suck more of it.
second part.................. that's what APK's are for. if it is one simple app ( for whatever personal reason) someone is stuck on, any times you can install it that way. just download it through browser on phone and install with file manager of choice.
third part.................. not that 4.3 is more unstable or battery hog. (I have better battery on 4.3) not necessarily unstable. I just think it is still very early in the game and trying to get some kinks worked out. 4.1.2 was the same way. everybody is impatient, just the nature of the beast. give the amazing and talented developers time. I find 4.3 very smoooooooth, but I have been getting bootloops and I am thinking it is most likely my APP2ZIPP file (which has my apps) I am flashing. so I don't have to keep installing all my same apps one at a time. don't think it is working with 4.3 transition.
the rest is up to you my friend. its all about what YOU want and what you are willing to tolerate as far as constant maintinence.
oh and by the way I am NOT running PADAWAN right now...........its been to solid. I was getting bored. I am addicted to flashing maybe. I ran it for months, flawlessly. since coming off, the longest I have been on any ROM is MAYBE 3 days before changing whether it be the reboots, battery or bootloop issues.
I am not bored though, it definitely give me troubleshooting experience and enables me to help others which I am enjoying

Do all of the 4.2 ROMs suffer random reboots? I see you mention that an alternate kernel may help, but are there any ROMs that have either incorporated in said kernel or that have found another fix of some kind for stability?
Also, with 4.3: are the random reboots an issue there as well? What kinds of kinks are current issues?

On 4.2 they have option to OC/UV with stock kernels. It can just be a constant adjustment in those values to minimalize the reboots. With 4.3 I guess you can say I had reboots, my problem was the reboot would never complete and would just bootloop.
I am just being patient and giving it some time. I know many are working on it cause there is so little action in development thread. Many impatient members have driven developers away by constant pestering. I think many have learned that lesson. That why it is so quiet.
Trust me, it is the calm before the storm

Hmmm... what 4.3 were you using that gave you boot-loops? I'm thinking of trying PAC-Man, and I'm debating between the 4.2.2 and the 4.3 - as it seems that the latter is fairly stable from what I've surmised.

anything 4.3 was doing it. again I am thinking it may have been my APP2ZIPP file.
here is a tip as to what I do when contemplating new ROM...............
obviously I am looking at original OP post for features to what I want. then I go to last page of thread and read backwards. this gives me the most recent problem ROM is having and hint as to whether there is a fix. if it is something I can deal with, then I go for it. if its too much hassle, then I don't.
I thought I was the only one... I I do the exact same thing capt.

Since you, captemo try a lot of ROMs, which 4.2.2 ROM, that you have tried, has lasted the longest without a reboot (how many days)?
Carbon 1.8 was the longest for me thus far, 4 days but after that it went into a reboot frenzy and would reboot 2-3 times a day. Now I'm on CM 10.1 8/23 nightly and it has lasted 2.5 days before reboot. Let's see if it will last longer than that.
Since it's become clear to me that the main issue here is finding something both modern and stable, I've started a different thread that makes that clear in the title. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425090

again, everybody's phone is different. I am not sure why, but my phone cant run CARBON, any version. which kind of bums be out cause of all the options available. many of the 4.2's would do exactly that for me, I get a couple of days out of them, then reboots galore. Carbon, (4.2, 4.3, alternate kernels) is just a no go for me. it's like my phone has an allergy.
it was always suggested to me to try stock KERNEL and let it settle for couple days and hell if I had to flash something, might as well flash a new ROM. then I ran out of ROM's. that's when I started trying KERNELS.
most recently, I have had success with BLOWNFUZE's AOKP and compatible UBER (I think it in OP) and also ROOTBOX w/ UBER. ROOTBOX has some pretty cool features. different sounds and statusbar changing colors in different menus. pretty neat. AOKP, just a bit more stable maybe. I am not sure I had the OC/UV settings dialed in just right though. battery wasn't quite lasting me. want to go back and tweak those some more.
in the meantime, and I don't know why I haven't tried in the past, I have been running SONS of ANDROID. 6 days, stock kernel, NO REBOOTS
in between, I am trying to keep my eyes open for some breakthrough's on 4.3. of course I am also trying work out my options for getting the MEGA 6.3.
again, good luck, read, and remember all phones are just a smidge different. that's smidge can be ALL the difference
Hello great forum,
Maybe a stupid question but what would be a really good rom for battery life and gps usage for my note 1 (Bell Canada) ?
The question I'm worried about is that I don't want to flash my phone with a rom that would turn it into a phone for US or others and just want to make sure it would work on Bell Canada without problems for the modem file and all ...
Thanks for your suggestions ...
PS: I even thought about a ROM that would be for ICS if need be ...I just want to be able to play Ingress without having 20% battery loss after 45 min
Thanks !
Idk about the ROMs, but you'll never get away from the ingress battery drain no matter what you do. That game is a juice hog. When I was a heavy ingress player, I would carry 4 extra batteries with me to get through the day. I would try carbon or hellfire, they are my current favs. Just make a backup and flash, see how it goes.

Unless BJ flashes a modem, I can't think of a single ROM that is going to flash over your current modem. Which means a simple backup will undo anything.

Thanks, so in other words, any roms I try for the Note 1 would have me being able to use Bell as a carrier no problem and use the modem I have already ?
I was just not sure which one to use as there are soooo many .... Asylum, Blackstar, CM9 etc ....
Priorities for me will always be to use what a stock could use, stability, battery efficiency and GPS working well ...
As backup goes ... Kies or Titanium to backup ? my note is not rooted ....
Thanks again
Yes, and no. Is your phone going to break? No. Are you going to enjoy any ROM, even those that are deemed solid, Not necessarily.
I only know about running T-mobile on an i717, but different modems get you very different strengths and data speeds. There's also the oddity of running ICS modems on (stock) jelly bean ROMs causes crazy weird lag spikes.
What I'm saying is, backup what you use. Try different stuff. If it doesn't work, or you don't like it, restore. Also, if you're currently on ICS, sticking to ICS based roms (blackstar or cm9) is going to yield a better chance at it "just working" than switching to a JB build. If you upgraded to stock jelly bean (I'm so sorry) sticking with JB ROMs is going to give you a better chance at your modem working without issue.

I hear ya my friend .. but surely i could find something better than 20% gone in 20 minute ... and I did not try Carbon or Hellfire so far but they are good ? and what about the others like Asylum, CM9, Blackstar and the such ?
Someone knows as well if 4.2.2 rom is better for the battery than 4.1 ? for JB ?
Thanks again

If you want stability, speed, and battery, always choose ICS. Period. People in these forums regularly confuse newer must mean better. In the case of our aging hardware, its completely false and they are more wrapped up with having the latest at all cost.

Cool thanks, in that case I will go with trying JB sandwich, feel of JB but on ICS ... will see what it does
The only problem now is that I am trying to find the right files to have before I flash the ROM as when I try to go with CWM and flash JB sandwich or AOKP I get errors while trying to flash ... either status 7, status 0 or just errors of files ...

Quick update ... it seems that it is all related to what radio (modem) file I had and such before to flash the rom
Was able to install JB sandwich after i tried to flash with an ICS for ATT (even if i use Bell Canada)
AS "best" is a subjective term and up to the individual, and usually best rom thread become places for arguments, this thread is closed.
I'm debating or no to update from JB to KK. The JB seems to be running sluggish lately. I remember when the NAB KK update came out many people had too many issue but how is the NC5 update?? how is battery life? performance? what are the biggest advantages
my jb was sluggish today so I just re flashed the original Rom. stable and fast again. ymmv.

Kk sucks compared to jb. And the radios suck more too.

You can't go back to JB, but you can use a JB radio with KK.

Yea I'm aware of that and I did it to my other note 3 a few days ago. Signal was better but at expense of more battery drain. Also my text and call hardware radio died. So I had to replace it. Not sure of related. But the NC5 radio is better then NAB radio. I also always had better battery life with JB.
I had a hard time getting used to the specifics because kit kat will not let you flash anything unless it matches the kernel or goes in order of creation. But even though it seem harder it's worth the trouble it's a lot more stable than any other Android biulds. And you can figure out how to unlock wife and change your radios and customize all that

This unlocking wife seems interesting. Do you have to beat a certain level or is it automatic.
