I don't see a ROM section of the forum. Though it would be nice if there was a ROM section.
There is development section that the developers of ROMs post and others talk about those ROMs. But nowhere to talk about what ROM you are using and what benefit you are getting from the ROM that you are using.

I am using mrRobinson's root66_TMO_T889UVALK8.7z (injected stock root rom) with XposedMultiWindow. Custom Flash trigger at "no" (basically that is at "0") and Status at "normal". Basically allows me to be rooted and use any app I like with Multi-Windows with these two mods
There are some ROMs that either add a few apps for music & such and/or sometimes take out TouchWiz. But nothing that I feel worth installing the other ROMs for.
I use TouchWiz to setup a few settings, including Lock Screen wallpaper. Then the rest of the time TouchWiz is off my RAM. I am doing everything that I like and need in root. Enjoying multi-windows with whatever apps I like. I did a few more mods too, like disable the "Battery Charged" notification, etc. Now my Note 2 is the way I like it. Though I would like more internal storage (64gb or more) and 1080 or higher resolution screen. But I will have to wait for Note 3 for those.
One more thing I like to have is LTE. Coming sometime in 2013. Hopefully before Note 3 gets released. [Fingers crossed]. And always look forward to Android OS updates.

Rolling jellybam over here..

Stock, rooted, xposed multi-window. I personally like the stock rom and don't really need all the bells and whistles. Plus, I've found that many custom roms seem to have stability issues.

I suspect he's suggesting your post belongs in the Q&A section, not the General Discussion section.
I think it's kind of silly to have both, personally, and there's an awful lot of crossover between the two in most forums anyways, and some don't even have separate sections for each.
That said, Jedi x7.2 here. Fast, lean, stable, stock-ish. Nova Launcher pro on top of it.

Hello all! I have the ATT variant of the Note II and I'm having trouble finding a rom that is like stock android but can use the s-pen. I'm not a fan of Touch Wiz. Can anyone help me out?

I'm running CleanRom ACE right now, I"m still on the fence about it, it does have some minus bugs.

Really, no one can give you a straightforward answer without knowing what it is about the S Pen you want to keep. The air view and the like? If so, JediROM has those TouchWiz features as I recall. Otherwise, just about any ROM for the SGN2 will work.

NFC Issue
I've rooted my GNII, I'm still with the stock ROM, and have GoogleWallet. I have an NFC that happens every so often. Mainly when I run my camera app, music player app, and GooglePlay. My phone will freeze for about 5 secs then a window pops up saying "unfortunately, NFC service has stopped". I have tried multiple "NFC Fixes" by flashing them in CWM and manually moving the files in Root Explorer with no success. GW works fine along with everything else. It's just horribly irritating. If I flash JellyThunder, will this alleviate the problem?

And have you tried this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
And I'm wondering what caused your problem in the first place. I bet it's how you got Google Wallet working on your stock firmware. Because I seen something b4, about changing/fixing your nfc file.:what: In order to get wallet working! So I didn't try it. And when Jelly Thunder came out and said Google Wallet worth no problems. I was very excited, with everyone eke that wanted it.
So all that being said: I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WYETH THIS ROM WHAT SO EVER!
So I would try to do a clean wipe of your system. Then install the Rom and give it a few days to c how it quirks out for you. OR you can just wait for the NEW RELEASE COMING SOON! !:thumbup:

Paranoid android vs aokp

So I've been doing some reading on these two roms and I have to say, I like the layout and app settings available in paranoid android. But aokp seems to have a bigger following . I just regrettably flashed jedi xx last night . Love his roms, but I hate wiping and setting everything up again. Can anyone tell me which of the 2 roms they like and why? Appreciate your input!

Jedi-XX is definitely a great rom, MUCH faster than what i was using before (Jedi-x3 i think). But I am being heavily seduced by Paranoid android, aokp, and now a new one has caught my eye.... Rootbox (formerly jellybam).

I've decided to give carbon a try and in all honesty I don't see any benefit of it vs jedi/tw roms. Camera has no low light option, and its rather important to me; call audio is just terrible, scratchy. Besides, i like all that Samsung "crap".

Well I tried flashing them all. And to my dismay, there is a BIG problem. I can't download any apps until I clear the play store and download manager. Then I have to download them all manually. Which I would do, but then it doesn't tlet me re download my purchased apps for free... Deal breaker. Which sucks because I prefer their rom features. Don't care for the s pen or Samsung stuff

I love carbon,aokp and paranoid android for asthetics but the leck of solid bluetooth connectivity coupled with my preference for the default samsung keyborad has made me go back to jedi roms. If they manage to iron out the bluetooth issues ill flash those and never look back. but since i use bluetooth ALOT for calls and music, not so much

Different strokes. I like being on the latest version of Android and Wolfson audio is better than anything out there. I have no call issues. I have had 3 Nexus devices b4 this one. I prefer AOSP.
If I want a new theme I have a choice of hundreds and I don't have to flash it. Don't have to flash every little UI mod.

I'm running Task650 AOKP on my S4 and I love it!!! I wish it did have some features Paranoid Android has but I am about 97% satisfied.
I'm thinking about flashing the GE Rom but i'm not sure I want to lose all the extra features that I get with a custom ROM.
Make sure you read the change logs and all the features to make sure its what you want.

Try Moon Rom version 1....touchwiz, floating windows, and tablet and Hanley mode...n7105 Rom working great on T-Mobile...I'm also using devil kernel and recovery dual boot, so I can choose my paranoid Rom on the fly when I want to.... best of both worlds...

No after reading a few posts the updates will be sent to Samsung and they will have a time frame to release it for the google version.

Since they will have identical hardware, the G.E. rom can be dumped and turned into a custom rom with ease I assume. S4 will have 100% stable TouchWiz and AOSP (so to speak). I'm speculating as I haven't looked too much into this though.

I don't see what the big deal is. You xan get aosp roms on our phones right now. I never used touchwiz before owning this phone, but I do have to admit I like it. I flashed the few aosp roms floating around and immediately missed the features tw offers (remote control, air gestures, etc).
Ive come from all AOSP devices and I have to say it doesn't compliment the hardware on this phone imo.

I see pros and cons with the google s4. While it will be great that the device will be up to date with the latest android, the vanilla android won't be able to make use of all the hardware features the device has to offer. But a big con with google s4 is that it only comes with 16GB internal storage.

The obvious difference will be that everything will function properly.
There is ALWAYS something broke or not quite right with AOSP/CM Ports. Bluetooth, tethering, camera... you name it.
So...its obviously a little different than... "why not just flash CM or AOSP now!?"... Official Google support for the S4 is a HUGE deal.

This means nothing for me. I'm not about to pay for a device that I can do the same thing with my already owned sgs4. Flash an aosp rom. But maybe it's more than that I would assume

Whose to say this device something won't be broken. And it's quite obvious stuff will be broken but that's okay with me for any rom. I know I can expect a fix a lot faster.

For me, it's an overpriced and enlarged Nexus 4.
It lacks all the Samsung features (I know some people don't like that). It only has the vanilla Android on it which will have the same features as the Nexus 4.
Why do I need to pay $649.99 for the phone which has the same features as the one that only cost $299.99 (Nexus 4)? I know S4 is bigger, faster, blah blah blah but it's $350 different.
On the other hand, with AOSP rom available, for sure we will have better 3rd party ROM such as CM, AOKP, etc. I am actually happy to see that.
P.S. I am just sharing my opinion. No offense. =]

No more like samsung is trying to protect their investment. Imagine if they sold at the price of a nexus and you could odin stock rom. People would be saving 300+ bucks while others paid 640 and up. Its just a matter of being fair.

Oh ok, now that makes sense.

The obvious difference will be that everything will function properly.
There is ALWAYS something broke or not quite right with AOSP/CM Ports. Bluetooth, tethering, camera... you name it.
So...its obviously a little different than... "why not just flash CM or AOSP now!?"... Official Google support for the S4 is a HUGE deal.

The aosp roms I've used have all been very stable for the most part. Just because Google will be releasing it does not mean it'll be completely bug free. I just don't find it exciting if it's not utilizing all the new tech Samsung has added.
No one really knows what's in store, but losing the ir blaster and the other sensors' functionality seems like a step backwards imo. I've owned all the nexus devices and have flashed aosp ROMs on every phone I have owned. It just doesn't excite me on this S4.
I actually like touch wiz this time around (minus the cartoon ui and bloatware).

[Q] Recommendation please!

Hi,
New to S4 (just came from HTC One). Looking to flash a ROM that is close to stock, but improves performance, removes bloat, and perhaps adds some features. Mostly looking for performance improvement as I've noticed very slight lag/stutter in a few places (before anyone jumps on me, the lag/stutter I notice is certainly minimal and not severe . Don't want CM or GE right now as I want/need to maintain some stock/TouchWiz features (i.e. Wifi Calling).
There are so many ROMs in the development sections- any suggestions?
Thanks much!

Wicked ROM. or even Infamous S4. Both tmobile base Rom which retained Wi-Fi calling with lots of added features.

Why, he wants our opinions. Should you really stop him from being curious?

Good for you.
But to the OP Infamous and Wicked are in my opinion the best 2 Tmo touchwiz ROMs available.
But of course everyone has different preferences so I suggest try them all out and go with the one that best suits you.

If you use all the air and hover controls and WiFi calling, stay with Roms like wicked and other touchwiz based roms. If you don't use these and would like a sleek look then go for Google Edition 4.3. In my opinion I love 4.3 and could not ask for more. Of course that is my opinion though so I recommend try all if not most of the tw romsz then the 4.3 and then make your decision. Remember to reset flash counter if you plan to get it fixed if brick though

Make a backup before installing any ROM though so if you don't like 4.3 then you can go back to 4.2.2 without a problem

As this will undoubtedly turn into a "best rom" thread (which are not allowed here), I will have to close this one. You will have to just research and try them for yourself, OP. Thank you for understanding. :highfive:
