Ideal custom ROM for Note 2? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, based on your knowledge and experience, what is the BEST, MOST STABLE, BATTERY FRIENDLY, SMOOTH, POPULAR and PERFORMANCE ACCELERATED 4.1 custom ROM (I know it doesn't have a 4.2 based yet) for the Note 2 N7100 that has the most upgradable potential? Will Android Revolution be one of them? What do you think?

Yes Android revolution is one.. but since mike prioritize htc devices tha samsung.. I think omega rom is one of your option... I have been using the rom in my note 2 .. plus perseus kernel v31.2.. my battery life increased.. with good performance.. and just to rob it in the new version of perseus has the fix for sudden death syndrome..
n7100
omega rom v10 perseus kernel 31
hit thanks its free anyway

Stock deodexed zipaligned rom....
It's the best.
Rom makers imao add extra stuff which is generally unnecessary.
Just get a deodexed stock rom from as i9000's form and find all the mods you want.
Also perseus kernel is a must.

I was custom roms flash addict but with note 2, stock rom for me the best. So give a try for stock odexed rom, for example DLL7

note 2 will out dated when. higher specs with 5.5 at least screen or more will come.if u agree prss thankx

emotion rom v2 is gud

I don't have ROM screenshots yet to give you an idea (we've only just got our Galaxy Note 2 rooted here in Japan).
But I keep an up-to-date ROM list to keep you inspired and busy flashing!
Check out my sig.

Well thanks for suggestion guys!:victory:

I've been using CleanRom 3.5 on my Note 2, gives you the feeling of a stock rom but with features like Multiview. I wouldn't mind something a little more custom but in the meantime this does the trick.

That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard/read sir , it is ABUNDANTLY clear that if something new is released, with similar specs of an older model but with better power/hardware then it will be better.

Okay,got into Omega and that's really impressive from user data managing to performance. Great! :thumbup:

Okay, Omega is quite stable and decent but I found that it doesn't have enough "custumizability" nor CyanogenMod setting compared to my Atrix running MRom (CM7). Just make a backup and flash the JellyBam tomorrow.

You wont get much customizations with stock based rom. AOSP builds are way to go for them.

So, the real question is:
What is the best combination of Kernel and Rom to flash?
Needed:
- much customization
- NO bloatware
- Stable
- Long battery life
- use external SD card as internal SD (memory)
already got:
- Root
- CWM
- Stock kernel and Rom
- DirectoryBind (but would like it when the kernel would swap extsd and sd)

H20 rom kicks butt! Absolutely no problems! :thumbup

i747M - Best ROM and Kernel

Hey guys,
What is the best rom/kernel combo you have found? I am currently on slimbean with kT kernel. Looking for what has worked for others :good:
+1
I'm very interested to know myself. I just got the sgs3 coming from a galaxy nexus running aokp. I love the new touchwiz which is ,I find, leaps and bounds beyond the sgs2's version of touchwiz. I actually want to keep it. I want a rom that gives me more without taking anything away. What I mean is a juiced up touchwiz with more customization. No nova or apex. Lte, avcrp and nfc that actually work. landscape mode phablet mode etc. Every rom has one or the other not all.
at this point it really comes down to personal opinion. all roms are heavily supported and seem to be very stable. it depends on what your looking for.
slim is a great rom very smooth and light (only ~80mb in size!) but i've found that i get more random fc's on slimbean than i do on cm10/aokp. so im sticking with cm10 & kt747 kernel for now. i always check out new slimbean updates though, when it gets a little more stable ill probably stay there.
i haven't had much experience with leak based stock jb roms. when the official at&t jb update comes out ill probably stick with stock jb because i do enjoy touchwiz but right now it seems that aosp is better with stability and battery life.
one thing i am sure of is every rom i flash, i flash ktoonsez kt747 kernel. during heavy use i switch to from ondemand to ktoonservative governer and that will really save you battery life.
i think it does come down to personal preference, but what I'm using is the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly with Ktoonsez latest kernel (9/23) and it's underclocked and undervolted. Great performance and even better battery life.

Serenity is based on the note 2 software. Milestone is based on the tmobile s3 leak. I tried both and went back to an ics rom (ariel). It just seems more stable and has more of the features that i like.

I really like Serenity v1.1 located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300.
There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that would prevent daily use in my opinion. If you are after super stable then you should probably stick with a stock-based ROM of which there are plenty. If you want to try out JB then I'd give Serenity a shot.
I use kt747 with stock rogers rom, (4.1.1 JB). Aside from a couple of issues with charging for while powered off, everything is working well.
Jedi ROM 2.0.
I've had 0 issues with it, great battery life, buttery smooth (using Nova launcher) and everything works flawlessly.

For me having tested only a couple for the last week, and being new to Android, Paranoid Android is the way to go. Been able to change DPI/ UI layout per app is priceless, all I need to complete it is figure out stuff about kernels and flash one that let you undervolt CPU/GPU to max battery life. As dingokevin said, you have to figure out yourself, give PA a try and see if you like it.

on the CM10 build that's available today, the feature like getting a small dot on the screen when hovering the pen over , is gone. I guess its because CM ROM has removed all bloatware (like S Note).
I have no idea if the special pen features will come back on a later build of CM10. i really hope so
CM10 nightly build is ready for N7100! Out today guys. :good:

is it possible to dual boot with the note 2, as in boot into touchwiz, then reboot and boot into an aosp rom
I want to try out the hd rom it also looks nice
Revolution is great.
Been a CM user for many years. No way am I running it on GN2.
Not needed for speed...and bloatware easily dealt with via Titanium...but mostly, the Samsung NOTE features are just too cool. CM in addition to being a mute point on this device, negates what makes the Note the Note.
Been using ottoman's ROM a couple of days. I like the glass theme and colors. Battery life is good and overall smooth :thumbup:

[Poll] Which ROM are you using daily basis.

With getting Samsung Note II (GT-7100) more n more popular to the android users n ROM developers, we can see a lot of ROM options coming out of the box daily with more or less added features. On one side this excites advanced users to try those ROM n play around but it clearly becomes confusion for the new users who want to try for the first time, obviously they would go for the most stable/used one by xda users.
With that intention starting this thread, hope this will go fine. [this is not an evaluation].
[already searched the thread, similar posts are there for other phones but none for GT-7100]
With due respect to all the developers for their hard work n tine spent on building....developing...n....updating the ROM s.

This. The only way to get a truly stable experience is to run a stock based rom. All the aosp based roms have some issues on most any phone which isn't a Nexus device. Granted most of these issues don't make the phone unusable but it's still a pain in the ass having to reset your phone because the camera bugs out.

A stable, popular choice is Omega ROM. They offer an abundance of customisations and looks barely different from the Stock ROM (unless you customise it, of course). This ROM can, however, slow your phone down ever so significantly.
In my vague opinion, Android Revolution HD is very similar, however, this ROM specialises in removing most bloatware while still maintaining most stock features. Doesn't have many customisation options, only improves the speed/smoothness of the Stock ROM.
Following on from that, the ROMs begin to get more interesting... NOTEorious Prime & Jedi X ROMs are some outstanding ones which venture out a bit further from the stock ROM. They still have the same features, but they are more extravagant; such as 4.2 camera and multi-window for all apps. If it's customisations you're looking for; I'd look into these ROMs in more detail.
Finally, and inevitably, comes Alliance ROM. First off, let me make it clear that I am completely biased towards this ROM mainly because it's the one I'm running currently and the one I've stuck with for far too long after flashing all varieties of ROMs. This ROM has unbelievable amounts of customisation, looks stunning and runs smoother than Bill Clinton. If that's not all, you still have stock features like s-pen, glance view, multi-window etc as well as kick-ass OTA (over-the-air updates) which lets you pick and choose exactly which updates you want and when as well being compatible with every kernel for the Note 2. I'll stop before I pass out from its untouchable flamboyance.
So there you have it... As many others will tell you, test the ROMs to find your favourite but here's my opinion and here's to hoping you find it helpful.
Cheers...
for me, the rootbox miui and V5 are the best.
although differente from each other, they are very good roms very customizable.
Assassin rom and Tweakbox all the way! Nothing beats. Do your homework!
