i have recently bought the note 2 from att. i am looking to root my device, i have been reading up and the roms i have seen dont really seem to change much from the stock version minus a few here and there. also, i read that cm 10 disables the use of the stylus with is a bummer. as i was looking forward to it. as i had cm 9 on my last htc smartphone. my question is, from experience, which is the best rom to use without disabling any of my stock abilities? and where can i download this rom to my computer. thanks.
International rom port is what you want

Just curious, why install the International Rom on the AT&T version? What is there to gain?

Hello,
Since there is no custom rom for LTE, i was wondering what is the reason behind that. Are the firmware files for the N7105 device not available or is the source closed unlike N7100. I am currently looking to buy the LTE version, however if the custom rom wont come i will rather go for the N7100 version.
Cheers
PS: I have never owned an android device before and currently use the Nokia N900 (running maemo linux)
1) There is a stock, rooted, deoxed rom available.
2) Samsung have hindered asop development at every pass so support is low.
3) Touchwiz is VASTLY improvesd. No where near perfect but most people are happy.
4) The devs are busy working on the 7100 which is understandable so give them time.
5) The other idea is a patch to make n7100 work. (But it's looking like the changes are more than skin deep.)

I'll be looking to list any XDA N7105 ROMs on my site when they are available. I'm picking up my Note 2 this Friday 16th November.:good:

At least from XDA? mROM 3.2 if you want the closest stock ROM without any mods. (Which I'm personally running)
MMUzzy's Jelly Bean is my next choice, stock feel with some extra additions thrown into the mix.

This is answered the same every time it's asked. Try several and see what works best for YOU. Everyone doesn't want the same features in a ROM. Some want stock and others want customization. Read the forums look at the screen shots and flash whatever peaks your interest. If you don't like it flash something else. Just be sure you make a backup just in case something wonky happens.
As for a suggestion, I am currently on Xylon V11+Zen kernel V12.

I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.
I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

If you don't want to lose any of Samsung futures keep Away from aosp and aokp roms
sent from xda-app
device : note2
ROM : testing
kernel : testing
modem : XXDLK7
recovery : TWRP
Use touchwiz based ROMs, stay away from AOSP and AOKP if you want Samsung features like S Note and other stuff.
Use any 4.1.2 (i.e. touchwiz) ROMs and you should be fine with S features.
Cheers guys

Alright guys , hello there. Recently we saw the release of KitKat ROM for note 3 on Sammobile (I guess its for Poland only right now), so a question came into my mind. Can we port note 3 Roms to work on Note 2? That will be great because then we can get touchWhiz working on note 2 with android 4.4.2. Any ideas if this is possible ?

By note 3 roms, you mean custom or stock roms?

Thank you for the reply , appreciated . but I am trying to figure put if its possible to get 4.4.2 KitKat on Note 2 with touchwhiz. Which I though would be possible by porting Note 3 KitKat ROM to note 2 ( because I don't think Samsung will launch KitKat for note 2)

Flashing other device's rom(s) could damage Ur phone, you can wait a bit and many of the Touchwiz roms will upgrade to 4.4.2 very soon.

Note 2 already has 4.4.2 but not Touchwiz, so I'm pretty sure there will be 4.4.2 Tw, we just need to wait

Relax bro,We are sure to recieve that KitKat taste wrapped by the Samsung UI,but in late April(if Sammy doesnt delay )
And ya the 3 custom roms posted are awesome,but whether they claim a good battery life and stability(daily use),
they are in comparision to othr custom roms..So,experience is that most ppl land up flashing StockRom at end..so better stick to Stock!& enjoy just a rooted phone,Titanium Backup,Rom Toolbox,Xposed,Greenify,LMTetc..
DO CHECK THIS,TECHILICIOUS FOR TECH-ppl to enjoy:-

Samsung have already said the note 2 will get android version 5 so we will get kit kat plus another update after that. AFAIK to port the 4.4.2 twizz rom we would need a 4.4.2 stock kernel for our device so until the 4.4.2 Samsung source code is released it can't be ported. But I stand to be corrected by more experienced devs

Im using DN3 and its buttery smooth + amazing battery life, please note that I have 3G open 24/7, may not be the best battery life, but it really satisfied me (12 hours with 6 hours on screen and still have 15% charge)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
Yes it's possible but:
1) It will need a kernel that can boot 4.4.2 TW on our device.
2) Tons of changes in framework.
Possibly no one would attempt that.
I'm certain to a lot extent that we will get Sammy Kitkat (official or leaked ) soon
Thanks for the reply guys,after reading your posts I will wait for the official Note 2 KitKat ROM.
