Best Roms? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys im looking at rooting my note 2 for the first time I have some questions
What are some of the best roms for the note 2? (features, battery life, speed)
Are there any good 4.2 roms out yet, that are not really bug?
Do all the roms that work on the N7100 work on N7105 phones?
is rooting ur N7100 the same as the N7105?
thanks

All depends on what you are looking for. Myself unwanted stability so I'm using a stock rom with with xposed framework. It gives rom type features without the instability. Also I would be careful with the 4.2 camera I found that it doesn't take photos as fast as the stock camera. Again dependsbin what you are looking for.

do the n7100 roms work on the N7105 phones?

No they don't you must stick with the N7105 roms and there are only a couple. Just upgraded myself tonight to stock and have just finished restoring everything back, very smooth so far with no issues to speak of.

They sort of work, you just won't have any mobile signal. Can't make/receive calls or texts, no mobile data etc.

ROM's are too subjective to what each individual person likes so you cannot say one ROM is better than the rest. What you think is the best ROM might be someone else's worst ROM.

There is never a "best" rom.
Flashing loads in a day gets you nowhere. Your not giving them a chance.
There is always a risk with flashing roms.

I was meaning that if the flashing is succesful..is there any risk of the flashing very often coz i never play with beta roms or tesing kernel if u kniw what i mean

You can flash 10 ROMs per day, I don't think there will be any problem. But frankly it's kiddish, and after using Android for almost 4 years now, I've no idea what people benefits from flashing nonsense on their phones.
Oh, for me, the best rom is stock for everyday use, never gotten into the craziness of custom ROMs, never will.
Sent from my GT-N7100
For me... STOCK is more than enough.. if you are Android Developer or something like that... you can choose from many ROMS out there
For me Omega rom is the best.:good:
Imao stock is enough in case of note2
The ones that support note 2 functions don't have much difference from stock rom.
The ones that do much difference don't have note 2 and spen functions.
I think mods are enough for me.
I use wanamlite anyway because it's deodexed and the only thing I wanted to change was multiwindow control and remove some bloatware and wanted latest update I.e. dll7
I would've been happy with stock rom if it
had been deodexed as there are some things that could have been better imao.

I don't understand why everyone is so against answering these questions from their personal experiences. He's not asking what the best rom is.
For me personally, I have found infamous to be the most stable.

Because in general all the ROMs are perfect for someone not everyone. Your idea of perfect is yours not his. One person might not like what the cook/dev did to that ROM or added or took away. There is no perfect/best ROM.

.... That's what I said. He didn't ask what the best rom is (like you said, impossible question to answer). He asked what people have found to be the most stable.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
That's also up to him, depends on what he needs and uses. I find a certain type of ROMs to be extremely stable for my uses and my friend is the opposite cause of what he uses daily. Besides its in the rules that these threads are frowned on.

OP, all comments are valid, but you are the one that has to flash and figure out...
There are too many variables to see what is best/stable. Your apps vice my apps...
Just test for your self.

Compatible Custom roms Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105

I rooted my phone and found very few roms were available for my phone (UK Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105) I ventured over to AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Android Development forum to find more custom roms. After asking around found couple so far which I have tested myself as follows:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986893 This is my favourite and developer is very helpful, highly recommended.

I'm too nervous to try AT&T roms on the HK phone. I bricked my Note 1 twice using wrong roms.
Not sure how reliable this is, but is says here that AT&T AND TMobile roms will work.
Anyone ready to try? From what I have read, the hardware is the same, it's just a couple things like the modem and kernel you have to remember about.
In fact, there is a ROM in the TMobile section that I am looking at right now, and the Dev says his ROM will work.... Read it here
I now use the RootBox ROM... Man its GREAT! haha i love the Tablet UI and customisation thats avaliable

What is with the HK Note II being treated differently?
I keep reading people saying that you can't flash the stock firmware to the Note II LTE if it's a HK one. Why not? it's still a GT-N7105.
What's different about it??
(I have one and want to know!)
i don't know, but my HK version is so picky about custom Roms. The only one that I can find so far that will run on it so far is Paranoid JB.
What happens when you try other ROMs?
And are you sure it's a N7105?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
The phone flickers on the Samsung screen and then blacks and never finishes loading. I either have to reload stock or the Paranoid to use it.
But you have another N7105 that works fine?
Can you provide some more details, at the moment it's just another anecdotal "Doesn't work"

Best of rooting on Note 2

So I just recently got a note 2. I had a Note I717. Did everything possible in rooting on that phone. Got a note 2 with insurance since Note 1 usb port got messed up. I wanna know what are the best ROM's and Apps and tweaks for the note 2 are. I've played with most roms on the note 1. My Favorite was Jellybam besides all the daily updates. I love the stock TW because of the battery performance. Amazing lasts for a long time. I am more of a cyanogenmod based OS. What's some good roms with customization and really good battery life like the stock TW. I'd appreciate all the suggestions

Jedi Master 13 with Saberkernel 23 is by far the best TW ROM for this phone (in my opinion). Jellybam is the best AOSP 4.2.2 ROM (in my opinion). Jellybam is banned from XDA though, you have to go to bam android to download the rom.

^^This! If you're so experienced flashing roms and such then you should know there is no best rom. You should also know how easy it is to read the OP in the rom that interests you. You should also know to make a Nandroid and flash the ones that interest you and restore back if it doesn't meet your criteria.

I agree with that statement 100% I was just giving my opinion from my experience with the roms I have tried (I have probably flashed roughly 12 different roms). Which is why I stated it was my opinion.

I know how to do almost everything. I play with framework and what not also. I'm more of a fan of CM based roms. I just hated random reboots and battery life problems. My note 1 was rooted and flashed and my usb port got messed up. I had no choice but to call my insurance and replace for a new. That's why I'm second thinking about rooting. Cause of anything happens to my phone I can just go get it swapped. But thanks for the rom suggest. I will look at it

I tried Jedi but a lot of things that WOULD, normally work wouldn't work for me(videos 4 one). So I moved on to something else!! What makes a Rom the best, because it best fits the person and their opinions, and there likes!! Not because everyone thinks it's the best. Or it has a bunch of pages in the thread.
If you want to look at something else, that most of the time everything just works out the box. Kinda like stock with a lil speed & flare. :thumbup:

Rules are rules.
Number 1 rule is to search before posting. There are many theads asking this same question, so why answer it? Keep your suggestions to yourself on telling me how to reply to posts. As you can see my post got three "thanks" yours got none. Thanks, have a good day.
The best ROM is the one you decide on yourself and love. No one can tell you what is best for you, for how you use your phone, for the colors and icons you like...you have to backup, read, flash a few and decide which is best for you. If you read the ROM threads you will see they are all the best for those that use them

Best touchwiz rom?

I've tried several cm roms that I loved, but every single one gives me problems receiving texts and pictures. There's no way to update prl so I have no clue what to do other than switch to a tw rom, which seems to be a dying breed. Any recommendations for really good ones? In particular I want one that's at least 4.3.1 and has a nice kernel like ktoonsez. Thanks everybody

try them all, all are best, but only you can determine what is best for you.
As these threads get closed becasue they are subjective, and as XDA is not a support site, so goes this thread.
