I want to see how good this ROM is but I saw MIUI 12.24 in the Development Forum but I also found a MIUI 1.1.7 linked within the same thread mentioned above.
Which one is the newest one and which one should I flash?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. If I do go with the 1.17, do I still need to flash the English pack as well?

Thats the newest one . Freaking Amazing. Built in themeing with a themebrowser, awesome launcher animation options, and when you go to the "recent apps " menu (by holding down home), and swiping your finger from left to right a search box comes up. Plus its built in SMS client is even better than handcent, with pop-ups and several other features. The music player has built in lyrics in its widget and is full of cool features. I could go on and on.
Out of all roms on Android, I think this is the most innovative and amazing. They really "push the envelope" adding new android features weekely.
no the 1.17 already comes with the english pack.
edit: actually the link above me, with the 1.14 or whatever theres a known universal problem with the rom..that when you make calls you cant be heard..they are trying to fix it..unless they already made another thread about the fix or something, cause i dont see it

Awesome! But is 0.1.14-RC2 newer than 1.17? These version numbers are so confusing!

Damn, all these version numbers are creating a cluster ****! lol
I'm still on one from early November. Every time I make the decision to update, I always read about what's coming NEXT week and decide to hold off. It's a never ending cycle.

LOL As a CM6 nightlies addict, I know that feeling.
My girlfriend just bought a refurbished A100. It arrived with ICS 2 days before the OTA was due. At first I was like GREAT! but upon further investigation I found it had the camera and speaker bugs reported in earlier leaked versions. So I looked at the build number and sure enough its an old build (.002).
Now my dilemma is do I wait for the OTA in a couple of days or do I use the stock ICS (.014) downloaded in the Dev section.
Now my girlfriend has watched me live through the agony and ecstasy of flashing roms and kernels on my Galaxy Tab and Revolution and does not want me to root her Acer.
I have searched the A100 forums and it appears you can flash this w/out root through stock recovery. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I can't seem to find very clear cut directions but here is what I think I need to do someone please tell me if I understand correctly.
1.rename downloaded zip to update.zip
2. put on root of external sd card (anywhere in particular)
3. turn tab off
4. turn tab back on by holding power and volume down
5. let go of power button and continue to hold volume down
6. let go of volume down when Android w/ gears icon appears
7. let it do it's thing
8.profit!
I'm a noob to Acer but not Android in general. Please any advice would be appreciated as I REALLY don't want to F-Up my Girlfriends new baby.
I know you feel buddy, my girlfriend inherited my old HTC Desire, which she loves but, doesn't love it when I say "I have a new ROM for you!" She loves having ICS though so go figure!
Yeah you've got it all right, it might take a few times to get into the stock recovery, it drove me mad ha ha, no harm done though just a bit fiddly to get the button combo every time.
the .014 release is the ICS to flash as it has full touch support with games.

Thank you for your quick reply toyface. Just another quick couple of questions.
Does the screen lock button need to be in any particular position when doing the stock recovery flash?
Is there any particular folder or place on the sdcard that I have to put the update.zip?
If I decide to wait on the OTA, will it go right over the old ICS build or will having the old ICS interfere with that?
Thanks again.
The stock rom in the development section is the same as the ota update, so your tab won't find a new update as it will already be installed. As for flashing, your steps are correct, but make sure you hold the volume button closest to the power button and you should be good. Hope this helps!

I upgraded from htc one s to galaxy s3. 3 things I mis ftom my one s.
1) sound quality in the ear piece sounds muffled compaired to one s.
2) I miss the dedicated multitask button on the on s, here I have to hokd down the home button lame
3) musuc audio quality is noticeable wuthout beats audio
Is there a work around for any of these features that I miss from my htc ine s. Also can I do any of this without rooting.
Would like to keep phone original if I can get these to work.
Plus I have not read any information on rooting yet. I do imagine the rooting process has imprived since the S3 came out.
Any links to read on this would be appreciated
Thanks in advance.

1) I have good quality sound with my headset( but I am in a custom rom).
2)Just the way it works on Samsung GS3.
Go Here and you will see my rooting method with links. If new to flashing check out my signature for a comprehensive guide how to.
1. Cant really help you there, I'm happy with mine and haven't read too many complaints from people.
2. You'll get over it, not to sound rude, I missed certain things from my old phone but I got over it and used to the new way I do things.
3. Mess with the equalizer and with root there are sound mods you can install.

I'm on aokp so don't remember how to get to the eq settings for the earpiece. From what I remember you go to the dialer app and choose settings. From there I think you select personalize eq. You need to have a set of headphones ready before proceeding.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought he was saying earpiece like just holding the phone to his head, not a blue tooth or headphone set with mic...

I tried installing beats audio from the market, did everything it said and when rebooting the phone froze and i had to flash back to stock and reroot. Not touching that app with a 10ft pole. Nova launcher makes things easier for things like multitasking with gestures. Love that ability to do so.

You are absolutely correct!!!
I upgraded from the One S and couldnt be happier.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I own both and the GS3 is by far a better device hands down, there really isn't any comparison between them with consideration to the quality. I have a Beats Headset and I don't notice a difference between the two but that's because the headset is so clean it's hard to see the difference anyways.
I like the fact the back button is on the right instead of the left like it is on the One S and I'm more than sure if you wanted to get that multitask button working with a little work anything is possible, I'm actually surprised you were able to look at the two and not be glad you have the GS3 that alone is amazing itself there is no true multitasking on the One S and clearly the GS3 is a huge upgrade from the One S.
I guess I'm just wondering why you even bothered getting it if that's the worst you could find wrong with it.
Beats integration is just an overglorified equalizer.
Use a good music player like Power Amp and you can get pretty much the same effect if not better.
Have 3 things to say:
1) Thanks to all for the advice. I did find the EQ from music and the ear piece. So thanks for those tips. I enjoy music much more again.
2) HTC One S and Galaxy S3 have the same chip and I think HTC One S is even more responsive when returning to home screen. I've had HTC for over 3 years. I guess i have a learning curve to catch up with Touchwiz. Only reason I upgraded is bigger screen and separate SD card. Apart from that not much difference between both phones.
3) Sharing a possible solution for multitasking button. I know "button Savior" app adds an icon to the side of the screen making all the menu, home,back, etc.. accessible with your thumb. Only thing is I need to root to get full functionality. Icon and soft buttons can be customized .
If some can try #3 and let me know if you can get multitasking working that would be great.
Thanks in advance again to everyone.

Rooting is the way to go though!
In all honesty, simply rooting your device and keeping it on the stock rom is probably the easiest thing you can do.
That way you can install things like: AwesomeBEATS and something to change what each of the hardware buttons do.
Being on CM10 I can change what each hardware button does (long press Home=Google Now ; Long press menu = Tasker)
The "lag" when going back to the home screen when pressing home is do to the fact that s voice is set up with a double tap option for the home button. Turning this option off increases response time. Go to s voice, menu button, settings and uncheck the launch s voice.

Sound wise, both kind of suck. Beats Audio is just an EQ set with an emphasis on bass, there's nothing special about it.. The sound chip on the American S3 is also somewhat subpar considering the International version has a Wolfson..
you should make another post for your s3 for the first 48 hours see if that makes any difference

saldebot you are the man thanks for the direct links for rooting. The true reason I did not want to root is because I was a recovered flashaholic from my HTC Evo 4G days, but now I guess I'm back on the wagon or off the wagon. Well I hope I don't spend to many late night like this one since I have to get up at 6:30 am. LOL really not funny..
And now I have multitask button working and all other menu button near my thumb with button savior. No more reaching all the way down or having to press and hold the home button. Sweet, its this rush that feels good
ok good night to all flashaholics,
No problem glad I could help. Welcome back to the darkside :thumbup:

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!

I select OK and that apk opens.
My question is even though I selct ALWAYS and CLEAR DEFAULT OK it never stays as the default even when I don't restart/reboot.
Is there some way I can associate an APK with a specific action/ext, etc.?
Apparently there is no solution for this? Thanks for viewing it.

This is really something that I think is annoying. Why can't the Note 2 OS accept that a specific ext. is always opened by a specific apk?
Would really like some opinions on this.
Thanks!
On my note if I choose always, it gives me information how to clear defaults and next time I open that kind of file it starts choosen app without asking.

You are not alone. I had flashed handful of TW based roms on my Note 2 and this always occurs so I live with it. I am on Tweaked rom now and aside from this irritating flaw, it's perfect. I was a flashoholic and Tweaked rom cured me. I hope there is a fix but if not no big deal.
Edit: I had just cleared defaults for all user apps and tested and it works! OP and Dwitherell, I apologize for posting before testing. I had this issue for so long I always select "once" automatically.

Really...? Interesting. So no matter what the situation is, if you pick an app to act as default for something (like clicking a link have a particular browser used to open it) that default is not saved? If you go into Application Manager and go to the app you believe you set as default that is not behaving as such, is there an option to clear defaults there? Just curious - I have yet to experience such an inability to set defaults. I wonder if there is a common factor that is interfering in some way here. Do either of you have xposed framework installed? I remember there was one out there that let you choose the interface for selecting default apps (the jellybean/stock style or the ICS-based style) - perhaps that is causing an issue...? I'm really just stabbing in the dark here, I have little in the way of clues as to why the default selection is not sticking.
Been working on a solution for days. Thanks to all of you who have posted.
However, even when I rest defaults by going into:
Settings>Application Manager>Reset App preference (which will reset all preferences for: Disabled apps, Disabled app notifications, Default applications for acttions, Background data restrictions for apps.)
>Reset apps.
Then I go into a specific application and check to see if (Launch by Default is set) there are - no defaults set.
Tried this many times and it still has not solved the prolem.
I am running Stock Android version 4.1.2, Baseband version T889UVBMD1, Kernal vdersion 3.0.31-935627, Build number JZO54K T889UVBMD1.
Any other suggestions? Glad to hear I am not the only one who is experiencing this. It is very annoying.

I just posted how I cleared defaults for all user apps. Did you do yours the same way? If not, how did you do it? I cannot get it to work for me.

It works on Tweaked rom. I didn't apply any fix cuz like you I couldn't find any fix. For a long period of time I lived with this annoying problem. It didn't occur to me to try clear defaults and test to see if it works until I saw Dwithrell's post. I believed only my phone had this problem. I highly recommend trying Tweaked rom after you back up. If you decide you don't like it, you can always restore back. On my Note 2, I installed Tweaked rom, Alexia's Theme, Perseus Kernel, Viper Audio, and Crossbreeder. If you need links, I post them for you.

Thanks for your help. However, I have flashed many ROMs in the past and never really found much value in doing so. always the possibility of bricking your phone. From what I read lately about flashing Note 2 ROMs there are risks which I don't think I want to take. Your opinion?

My 1st smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S1 Captivate. I was glued to Captivate Android Developement forum and flashed many roms, kernels, modems, and mods and tweaks. There were always risks and anything I had flashed then had problems. Nothing was satisfying. So, I would turn to the xda forums to seek fixes. It was a never ending cycle. Then I got my Note 2. The cycle started again. All the roms, kernels, and mods had issues. TW roms were more stable than AOSP based so I only flashed TW based roms. I wanted to try Tweaked rom when I first saw it but reading the first page was intimidating. I didn't want to come close to bricking my Note 2 like I have with Captivate. It's pain in the butt to fix and very time consuming. Finally after getting courage to flash Tweaked rom, I am glad I did. I still have the itch to flash different roms when update is available, I don't. Except tweaked rom update. It's stable and every feature that I use my Note 2 for works and works great. Tweaks the tweaked rom offers, correct color display by Perseus kernel, beautiful theme by Alexia, awesome sound by Viper when it works( still asking to install driver once in a while but worth it), and network tweaks from CrossBreeder makes an AWESOME and STABLE combinations. Stock is good and stable but once you take a leap and decide to try custom, try my combinations. They are STABLE and BETTER than stock. Lastly, I want to thank all the developers in XDA putting their time and effort into the deveolpement.

Thanks for the info. I just found an app that supposedly will ROOT any Android phone. It is called KINGO Android Root. I have downloaded it and will try it tomorrow to root my Note2. Wondering if anyone has tried this with any luck?

FYI - Just completed my Root and it took ~ 3 minutes. I know it is rooted since I can now use Titanium Backup Pro.
