So I'm really wanting to flash an AOSP ROM onto my Note II, but so far I've flashed JellyBeer and Paranoid and both had issues with the sensors, gyroscope, and Bluetooth. As far as what I've read and seen all over the forums is that all AOSP ROMS have these issues. The sensors can be fixed by doing the Perseus kernel fix, but the Bluetooth doesn't get fixed (and I really don't like the steps to flash the Perseus kernel for an AOSP ROM).
Anyone know of any other AOSP ROM that do not currently have these issues, or is this something we'll all have to wait and see what comes about?
Thanks to all the Devs for their hard work, and I'm looking forward to using a fully working AOSP ROM on this phone (especially if that ROM is JellyBeer!).

No other AOSP ROM will avoid these issues because all of them use madmack's kernel, which is likely the root of these problems. Furthermore, he's stopped any further work on the CM10 version, and focused on getting CM10.1 working, so unless someone else picks it up it will stay in it's current state.
He's done a great job so far considering how little he has to work with, and it seems to be a minority of users that have these problems (myself being one of them), so I defintely agree that focusing on CM10.1 is the way to go. I'll just stick to the TW-based ROMs until then.
Looks like they just got a decompile of the proprietary Samsung stuff to hopefully help resolve the audio issues in CM10.1, so with a little luck and a lot of hard work, we can all switch over to CM10.1 and leave these issues in CM10.
EDIT: And because these issues don't effect everyone, you should just try flashing an AOSP ROM to see if it effects your device. Backup your current configuration and you can always restore it or flash back to stock and go with a TW-based ROM if you have issues. It's not a big deal. The whole process might take 10-20 minutes, if you don't bother restoring your app settings while you experiment.

JB ROMs are not yet fully baked (Netflix doesn't work, screen flickering, etc.etc.), and other random annoyances depending on the particular ROM in question.
As a result, I've decided to stick with ICS ROM's for now and Ariel 2.0.4 seems to be about the cream of the crop from a combined feature/function perspective.

That's good to know, but it doesn't change the fact that there are typically little quirks and wonky parts of JB ROMs that keep me from using one as a daily driver, hence my endorsing an ICS ROM below.
Netflix was just an example of what had been a common problem among early JB ROMs, and while it's cool that's been fixed, there are invariably other easter eggs that don't seem to exist in ICS custom ROMs, I guess is the point I was trying to make.
Of course, to each their own; what might be important to me might not be to the next person, but that's what makes the ability to flash any/all ROMs and then nandroid back if you don't like them, so cool.

I use Kyan ROM because it is rock solid stable, has good battery life, takes away all of the bloat and lets me add back stock apps via CWM if wanted. I am waiting to go to an AOKP 4.0.4/4.1.1 build such as Task and Ktoonz or Cyangenmod. However, they all have bugs and I have very little tolerance for technology that does not cooperate with my expectations. So until the bugs are worked out, Kyan ROM for me.
which rom is the fastest without overclocking? I found that quadrant scores have been the best on stock. I've tried it on CM9, CM10 and kyan, but they all produce low scores. GTA 3 gets laggy on CM10 too, gonna try it on stock and see how it performs.
Rooted stock. ( debloated )
Tried aokp and cm10 both fantastic roms but auto brightness was a bit flaky on both so I can back to stock.

excuse me for my noob question, but how do you debloat stock rom?
Go in with a root enable file explorer and remove all the stock and carrier added apps that you don't want/don't use. You can also find different flashable zips that fix and/or enable/disable certain "features", such as the continuous wifi connected notification, enable native tethering, etc. A lot, if not all, of the customized stock roms include these and others by default. I'm actually downloading Ariel right now to try it out as it seems to have a lot of this done already.
I vote aokp, rock solid stable, and extremely smooth.
You should really try a cm based jellybean ROM, if you haven't yet, you'll be amazed by how fast and smooth it is compared to stock.
Ariel is the best stock rom nothing compares to it, its bug free free has aroma installer, where you can choose what mods you want to flash in cwm and has more features than any other stock rom hands down the best.

I was on the darkside rome too,the same one. Switched to slim bean rom that has jellybean and enjoying it! You should try it out, also with the kko kernel.
Honestly.. JB is much faster, snappier and smoother. But... if you value battery life, stay on darkside evolution. I would definitely try them out though. Just nandroid back up and try liquid, cm10, or AOKP. All excellent. But like I said, as far as battery life goes, Dark side is still my go to.

I am still on liquid smooth rc7 and haven't had to use any gps lock fix mine is fine.
If you value battery and responsiveness or stability I'd suggest you stay where your at. I've used all the jelly bean variants for days at a time and they all have presented 1 issue or another. Some would argue there problem free but occasional graphic glitches, ****ty battery, no wifi calling, call echo , gps problems, no flash support, and low speaker volume are some problems I'm willing to bet money you have at least 4 of these issues. Ive just got around to using Evolution 3.8 after hearing rave review and I must say its clearly the best TW rom and possibly the best rom I've ever ran on this phone. If you don't mind cm9 I'd suggest giving the Xperian Rom a go its stupid smooth and unbelievable battery life for a non touch wiz rom. FYI slim bean and liquid smooth rc 7 do kick ass so if do try JB thats where its at.

Hands down Cyanogen Mod 10 Stable.
Made me fall in love with my phone all over again.
I have tried nearly every popular rom for this phone and was getting tired of the glitches, quarks, force closes and other issues associated with them.
Tried CM10 2 months ago and I would never go back.
Jellybean is definitely the best, and CM10 is rock solid, most functional, stable, fast rom I have ever used on any phone.
Give it a try and you will understand.

To the OP. Just go for ViperINC 1.2.0 or better.
Make sure you wipe about 5 times and remove all traces of any previous ROMs (including hidden folders on your SDcard.
Camera issues = ZERO once you open the camera and uncheck "Face Detection" under camera settings.

Your mileage may vary, but for me.... it is the BEST Rom for the Dinc2 period.

Hi there, I'm a long standing G2 user switching over to a Galaxy Note II (in the mail). Shopping around for what ROM I should try first, kind of having a hard time wrapping my head around features I should care about and where each ROM is in the stability and completeness sense.
I'm more into the stock Android look and feel, so guessing TouchWiz is garbage I don't want. NFC sounds fun and I want LTE to work once the Tmo network is turned on. Maybe play with some wireless charging. Also really looking forward to having a device with a stylus again, so what S-Pen stuff should I care about? Also are any of the other "S" labeled apps and features from the stock ROM desirable (S-Beam for instance)? Additionally I want to eventually use the thing with an external keyboard and mouse through that nifty dock.
Basically I'm looking for ROM recommendations, got any?
Thanks!
i would recommend you to Jedix9 and Jedi8 ROM...try them out first if they fit your desires

I'm not saying that AOSP based ROMs aren't absolutely great (because I am running the CM10.1 Nightlys ) but TouchWiz is actually pretty freaking great. I am an AOSP fanatic but I still loved TouchWiz. The only reason I am on CM10.1 is because I just wanted to try it because my previous phone only had CM10, not 10.1.
I will say though, the stock TouchWiz launcher did not have enough options for my so I used Nova Prime. That made it feel like an AOSP ROM from the future because it looked and felt a bit like stock Google code but had all the TouchWiz features I loved.
Basically all I am saying is at least give the new TouchWiz a shot before you wright it off because you may find that you enjoy it.
Happy flashing
I too would recommend jedi 8 as well. It's close to stock (wifi calling), and battery life seems improved.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Im on JediMaster 8 running perseus kernel. Both are a great combo for battery life. However, I do enjoy me some AOSP.
One question you should ask yourself when deciding if you should use AOSP or TouchWiz is "Am I going to use the S-pen frequently?" If so, go with TouchWiz, if not then I'd say try some of the AOSP ROMs
Jedi X9 with Color HD theme is really cool, very stable and without losing any stock functionality except wifi calling (which if youd rather have then use Jedi Master 9 which dropped last night) basically roms are the same, functionality wise
Top 3
1/ (tie) Jedi X9 or JM9
3 CM 10.1 nightlies (non TW) or some of the debloated stock roms
Recommend looking into kernals too, sometimes they are updated before the rom is and you can OC and UV for more battery/performance

Some roms do incorporate TW but as you mentioned you are more "aosp/aokp" inclined so youll lose out on several features (unless you flash TW based roms)

I've got to second the recommendation to check out Tweaked (as well as extend a hearty "Thanks!" to dwitherell for his work)! It's simply a rock-solid implementation of the TW features plus, well, some excellent customizable tweaks One of the first roms that I flashed was from the Jedi X series, but soon after realized that I needed wifi-calling in my apt. so decided to check out Tweaked (1.0 at the time) before flashing Jedi Master, and have stuck with it ever since. Currently very happy / impressed running Tweaked 1.3 with the Perseus 32.1 kernel.
Im loving Jedi X9 wiyh Perseus kernel

Jedi, Tweaked, or rooted stock. Been running Tweaked since yesterday and it has some very nice features.
G●Note~2 {Jedi X5}
Thanks for all the responses, I've ended up going with Tweaked and am pretty happy with it. Now trying to wrap my head around how to access the SD card from a linux machine.

What are you looking to accomplish? Whats the end goal of accessing your SD Card from linux vs Windows?

Everything. I've ended up running files over SSH with a local FUSE mount.
So I'm getting the t-mobile gsii soon. I currently have the epic 4G. I looked in ur dev section and seen a lot of ROMs but noticed that from the titles I didn't see any 4.2.2 ROMs, is there any? I'm expecting yes, since my epic 4g has a handful of them already.
Do you guys have slimbean? If not, any recommendations for the closest ROM to slim?
And your kernels support voodoo sound correct?

EDIT: so I found some 4.2.2 roms and even slimbean.
I'm still a lil confused about the kernels tho.
There's different kernels for stock tw, jb 4.1.2 and 4.2.2? Do they have
And another thing is the radios, are they like modems?

Kernels come with the ROM. Most of the time it can stay where its at and you'll never know the difference. For a 4.2 ROM, i'm partial to AvatarROM. And we have 10.1 nightlys posted on the page as well. If you want stability, 4.1 is the best choice ATM. Jedi Mind Trick JB v4 is a great choice. (look at me... Plugging all these ROM's. lol) Its super stable and you can swap out kernels if you need to. It doesn't have a theme engine in it yet, but the avatar rom does have themeing though. Your chice. IDK about the Voodoo sound. That kinda died with GB. The new ROM's have Beats audio and the DSP manager. Does better than Voodoo. Radios are like modems, yes. They can be swapped out but need to be compatible with your kernel in order to function properly. UVMC6 comes with most ROM's but I like the radio from the Note2, UVLG3. Most ROM's can utilize a Kernel Tuner and an app called Trickster MOD from the playstore. You can set idle frequencies and make it so only one core runs until a load is placed on the phone. Real battery saver. And make sure your flashing the right Gapps packages for the ROM. 4.2 Gapps won't work with 4.1 even though they are both JB. Hope that helped. Any other questions, PM me.

Yup, thanks. That was almost everything I needed to know. I'm not a total nube so I understand how everything works, its just you guys have some things different than what I'm used to from the Epic 4G forum. I've rooted this device before so I shouldn't have a problem with that and I'm familiar with a few of your ROMs such as Avatar, but I'm going to have to try some new ones to see what I really like. Thanks for you reply tho, ill probably have more questions once I actually get the phone by the end of this month.

Your welcome. Might I suggest you use JMT as a daily driver til you figure out what you want. Its super stable and has all the comforts of stock in one. Like i said, PM me if you have any questions. I'm always around.
