What ROM for my needs? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have had my note 2 for some while now and I still love how it works. But seeing all the different mods and requiring to get some sort of radio and rom in combination with another extension. I haven't been able to understand how and what to do. So choosing for the easy way out: A rom with the mods I seek build in!
I am looking for a rom that is stock or as close to stock (minus bloatware, i can remove these myself if neccesary), some 5x6 mod for touchwiz (4x5 is a waste of space imo), sd and internal card flipped (using a 64gb sd card its madness to get the icon telling me my memory is gettin full) and the multiwindow mod.
Does anyone know of a rom that is close to what I seek? Please let me know, i've been reading changelogs of so many different roms that its reminding me of my college years.
Thanks

Do a nandroid backup and flash the one that looks closed to what you think you need. Omega rom is very popular, it allows you to choose what is included in the installation when you run it. There are a few other roms which do the same.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Well to be perfectly honest i nearly flashed them all and i have the greatest respect for the devs for building theses great roms and kernels, but the stock rom and kernel gives you the best performance, stability and batterylife
You can however root the phone for some goodies like: addblocking, sdcard tweaks, saving user apps and data, removing bloatware etc etc.

Then just root your phone and flash the mods you want. You don't need a custom rom.

[13 Mar 2012] Stock MIUI (Very Stable) [cLK/MAG]

Stock MIUI (Very Very Stable)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This rom is modified from MIUI android to work with clk bootloader. Please give MIUI Android all the credit.
Converted from the latest MIUI available 2.3.9
The goal of this thread is for two things. I have one main goal, STABLILITY. I will keep all roms I create. Their currently are two versions.
-Stock- I will keep up to date with MIUI and release CLK versions to accompy their magldr versions. The stock rom will stay stock, that means no changes!
-Tweaked- The tweaked rom will offer things more towards my preferance, or possibly by request. Currently the only difference between Stock and Tweaked is in the tweaked version MIUI launcher has been removed and replaced with Go Launcher. If you would like to see something included in this rom, please post.
(tweaked version is currently discontinued)
Features of Stock MIUI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-A2SD
-Rooted
-Android 2.3.7

Currently discontinued, I may start it back up later if there is interest when I have more time.
-Removed MIUI Launcher
-Replaced with Go Launcher
MIUI has many neat features.
1. Long press on the toggle switch will take you to that options settings.
2. Secrecy mode disables text, and call logs to let someone look at your phone.
3. Holding the home key on the lock screen activates the flash light.
New MiUi means wat d features?

thanks for this one, works nicely.
will stick with it for now..
Just a head's up - for those of you who like as much internal space for apps as possible, a 150/5 partition is more than sufficient to run this ROM, considering the extracted /system size is about 137MB.
I used that size, worked fine for me.

No worries bud, we all have to start somewhere.
A good measure of what partition size you need is by checking the extracted size of all the files going into the /system partition in your ROM zip (usually just the "system" folder in a ROM zip file, but could include other directories, depending on how the ROM installs), and then rounding up to the nearest multiple of 10.
In other words, if I built a ROM, and saw the extracted "system" directory (and/or any other directory being extracted to /system) in the ROM works out to be around 173MB, I'd recommend using a 180MB partition for /system.
Keep up the good work, really useful to have a CLK version of MIUI.
MrP.
Sorry for a noob question
But can we have a link to all the included apps with the basic MIUI ROm?
Thanks

What exactly are you asking? Are you wanting to know what apps are included or are you wanting to download the apps to another rom?
I can extract the apps, but I can't guarantee they will work on anything but this system.

I don't quite get what you're looking for, please explain it a bit further.
If you're asking where to find the standard MIUI apps to add to this ROM, then you must have missed in the OP that no changes have been made, and hence all the standard included apps are in this ROM already.
Alternatively, if you want all the basic MIUI apps for something else, why not just download the ROM, and extract those you want from the ROM zip?
Sorry if I don't quite get what you meant.
MrP.
EDIT: kylew1212 beat me to it.
This rom was for personal use. But I use this rom, with a little tweaking. I use go launcher so that my home screen isn't cluttered. Would anyone be interested in a miui version with a little tweaking? I will keep the stock one but I may build a tweaked version. Let me know if interested.

Firstly, thanks, i'd like to have it untweaked. Stock is Stock. Ya we al may do without that Xiaomi account
color branding
I have a question for you all, hoping I can solve this, finally...after months.
I am using MIUI for months now, with Tytungs r14 kernel. (also tried Dorimanx kernel, but that one has the same issue)
This solves the majority of the color branding issues, but you will get a 'full' fix upon changing the MIUI launcher settings to 'hi-res', which massively destroys the smoothness of the scrolling.
MIUI themselves say it can't happen, though I still have this g**damn color branding issue, when not using hi-res scrolling. There has to be something in that launcher (with other launchers like adw, go launcher, launcherpro, this can be simply fixed by completely disabling the scrolling cache in those settings) to fix this.
Does anybody know how to do this with the MIUI launcher? I love MIUI, but I want something that looks 100%, and i can't live with the color branding stuff (as it also shows in the wallpapers).

This is a completely stock rom. The reason I say it was made for my personal use is because I prefer Clk over Magldr. MIUI only publishes a Magldr version. I converted this Magldr version (for my myself) to clk. I changed nothing else. It is completely stock except now it works on two bootloaders instead of one. I uploaded the original(magldr) and my own(clk).

Honestly I'm not sure what color branding issures are.. Is that like lines going through the screen at random times?
Also have you tried newer versions of MIUI? Possibly they fixed this unknowingly? Sorry I'm not very much help on this at the moment..

I don't want to promise you anything because I don't know if I can fix it or not. I'm starting to work on porting MIUI 4.0 to the HD2. If I get a bootable version I will upload it.

[Q] New G3 owner with some questions.

I checked several of the threads in the various subforums but since I am currently really busy (have the phone for 3 weeks and I am not using it cause had no time to check XDA ) if you are kind enough I have some questions that spending more time in the threads would probably answer themselves but alas...
A: If I root the G3 can I bring it back to stock without any indication it got rooted (I heard some phones have special logs that show if a phone has been rooted that survive the various flashes), in case I need to send it for service?
B: Should I go with the root method shown on XDA TV (which doesn't show how to install a custom recovery) or one of the one click auto batch scripts?
C: I think generally this question is not allowed cause it can lead to flame but which ROM would you recommend I try first? I need just a clean, smooth running ROM. Disclaimer: Avoid arguing with other users if you disagree with something they said, just state the ROM and if you want your reason for picking it and I will scroll through them and decide.
Much obliged if you care to answer them and apologies to mods if this breaks any rules.

A: You can always go back to stock using LG flash tool with no evidence of rooting nor like samsung's knox
B: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072767
C: I personally use resurrection remix rom based on CM12 due to performance but if you want fully working G3 with no bugs at all I recommend my favorite rom CupaChups 4.2. Super fast stock base rom with some extra features.
P.S. I recommend you to instal Kernel Adiutor from the play store after you root your G3 and change the governor from default Interactive to Conservative. Cos from some unknown reasons the Interactive governor is bugged on all G3 and changing that will highly increase your performance speed and feel. This works with base and aosp roms also.
Hope this helps
via LG G3 @ Resurrection Remix
Thank you, is there a problem if the phone is already on stock 5.0? Can I still root it with the same methods or must I restore it to 4.4.x? (A simple restore to factory blabla does it?)
Cheers

If you have a look around there's a one click method that works for all G3 variants regardless of software version that is here on the forums. You can use that, download the zip for your desired custom rom, install a custom recovery and then flash the ROM and you should be good to go. There's plenty of guides for you to use, and each custom rom thread should have it's own installation guide

wifi Roms for SM-T807P

Hello XDA!
I recently purchased a SM-T807P (10.5" LTE/Snapdragon) with the intent to use it as a wifi device.
Will anyone tell me which roms work with this device? I've heard the challenge is to find a snapdragon rom?
Its rooted with TWRP on it already. Just need some tasty roms to play with.
If there is ANY way to get cyanogenmod on it that would be my first choice (I would even be willing to offer a bounty!)
I am already running the only one I could find specifically for SM-T807P.
[ROM][TW][SM-T807P Snapdragon] SuperSkilled Basic ROM V1 + Firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/rom-superskilled-basic-rom-v1-t3055473
I'm glad to find a custom rom, but am really for a lollipop de-bloated rom.
But ANYTHING that people have tried so far would be great.
OR anything that I should try that wont permanently brick my new tablet!
Thanks all!
Now you have twrp just make a full backup before you go messing and you'll never have to worry about bricking your tablet.
As for roms, pretty much all roms are based on stock, so just modify yours as you see fit.
Debloat, add mods, etc.

Considering that I am using a snapdragon version of this tablet maybe you could point me in the right direction about which roms work for that processor versus the other?
I know one of the issues was finding a rom that had the right kernel for my tablet.
No the kernel isn't the issue. Its that the t807p is partitioned differently than what the available ROMs are compatible with. I have the same tablet and as awesome as it it, there is very little support for it. No developers have it and its very difficult to work with without owning one.
There is twrp available which I assume you have used and rooted. There is a stock ROM on XDA that is lollipop that works awesomely. I just debloated it myself and tuned it with kernel tuner with stock rooted options. Xposed won't work without a deodexed rom either which is not available. But regular root options and a different launcher (I use nova) and i have it running pretty damn smooth.

I flashed the only KK ROM I found and got FC's to no avail. I then basically wiped the whole thing then odin'd to lollipop. I am stock now and you're right, it's a damn nice device. -- I wouldn't mind de-bloating it myself, do you by any chance have the 'safe list' to reference as far as which apps are good to go. Last thing I wanna do is get rid of some odd-ball system file that creates hell for myself.
Thank you
Just make a backup first with twrp before you go messing then use system app remover to debloat or just freeze with titanium backup . If you get an issue after removing something you can easily restore it.

No problem. First off, listen to everything xda senior member ashyx says. I have been dealing with my rooted t807p for a while and I have found all his posts on the tab s not just accurate, but extremely useful.
here is a post regarding safe apps to uninstall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/list-bloated-apps-to-uninstall-sm-t700-t2861180
Now what I have personally taken off my tab s has been the superficial apps. The magazine apps, office apps that I have no use for, While a lot of apps on the post may be safe to delete, it doesnt mean you should if you plan on using your tablet for wireless transfers, casting and what not. I prefer not to touch many of the "behind the scenes" apps. And also it depends on why you are debloating. Are you looking for more storage space? or for better ram and performance? Unfortunately, at least for my use, you wont save much storage space by deleting apps. But freezing them and playing with it makes a big difference. On just a standard recent apps clearing and maybe a push of my "fast reboot" app, and I can get my RAM to run at around 900mb and little battery drainage.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, I have played with my t807p for quite a while with rooting and have learned pretty well what works and what doesnt. I am no developer like the senior members on here but there aren't many people with our specific tab s.

I realize it's been a year or more, but do you have a link to the Lollipop ROM for T807P? I've tried the "SuperSkilled" ROM but it was KitKat. I looked for a Cyanogen build for this tablet but no luck. Looking for any ROM that's close to AOSP or at least debloated and is Lollipop or MM.

Rom choices?

Can someone compile a list of features present in the various roms for the Pixel 2 Xl? How do you know which one to use without flashing and trying them? Are there really any differences?
I have a similar question actually, but I'm just looking for one specific feature in a ROM: Full OMS commits for proper Substratum support

Having read almost everything there is to read on all the custom roms to date, if I were you, I would go to each rom thread, or their G+ sites, and read up on the features each one has. Many of them share the same github commits, so there's a lot of similarities between them. Substratum has been wonky since the March update, it still works on stock, and custom roms, however, sometimes you have to reboot to see, and then enable them in the substratum manager menu. I'm running the Aquarius rom atm, and luckily, I don't have to do anything special to make substratum work.
As far as functionality on the custom roms, most everything is working except, active edge(the squeeze thing) wifi calling depending on your carrier, android auto is working on some of them, and project Fi and esim are hit and miss depending on location and carrier. The only way to know if you like it or not is to use it, and not rely on what others have to say about any particular rom. After all, this is why you bought the P2XL isn't it?? So you can unlock, root, and rom it!! So, it's your choice. Now...GO UNLOCK, ROOT, ROM, THEME, AND MOD THE CRAP OUTA THAT THING! ?

Not really. But I still like em :laugh:

So my phone is now rooted. Is is worth flashing a rom or keeping it as is?

Usually I root just to get access to certain apps and to install a HOSTS file. My Mi max 3 is rooted but for those of you that are also flashing roms for this phone is it really worth it? Is root enough to enjoy the phone? Seems to me you'd lose many features by using custom roms. Especially three finger swipe for screenshot. Unless some roms have that?
Also, does flashing a custom rom get ride of that aggressive Android battery management? All the battery apps have their sessions segmented up into sections so it's hard to understand just how much SOT you are getting and so on.

It depends on what you want to do. There are many custom roms available all with different features.
Personally i find it to be worthwile, because it gets rid of all bloatware and other preinstalled software one might not want (battery drain/privacy/security).
Many custom roms have plenty of customization options, that includes gesture control.
there is an app for everything of course (say analyzing battery life and SOT), but i find it to be better if functionality works with the rom in the first place.
Figure out what you want (and absolutely do not want) out of your rom, and i'm fairly certain there will be a custom rom for you.
I have installed a custom rom already but i think that at this point no rom can match the fluidness of miui in our phone. There are some touch issues etc.
Also i would like to ask if anybody feels this way, i am thinking to revert back to miui

I will have access to my bootloader this week, and will try out different roms. Will let you know.
Currently looking at AEX, crdroid and aosip as first candidates.
I have been using aosip for 4 months now, its pretty solid, and was the first nongsi rom for our phone. I look forward to your opinion since yours will be more fresh than what i can recall as difference.
