i flashed the myn 2.2 warm rom and it was amazing, however i tried to switch to viruses roms and themes and i have encountered all kinds of issues, for instance, flashing the latest airbourn rom i think 10? i can do that works fine, however i try to flash my theme of choice and it just does the new get infected screen for at least 20 minutes before i get fed up and shutoff, i also cannot flash rc1.1 its becoming irritating. i loved the carbon themed version of the very first virus rom and i haven't gotten back to it. also when i flash myns rom i cannot seem to get launcher pro to work properly, and i even flashed the themed one that was available as well. i do not know how to use the titanium backup that well. so if someone could give me some answers in a very very n00b way id be very much obliged.
anybody? please
Hello!
I am just getting the hang of everything here and now I want a Theme.
I have the OTA Stock ROM , just Rooted for S-Off
I am using Launcher Pro and I have customized the the Dock and all the Icon and Widgets now..
But I want more! Is it Possible to get themes for this or anything like this?
Still searching! Thanks in advance ^_^
Kyle
Also I have Metamorph Installed and I am trying to use that also , Assuming that is the easiest way? THanks!
Hey man, I just recently rooted, installed a rom, kernel and themed my phone. So i was in the same position a couple of days ago
If your read around here the main thing you will see when doing something to your phone is making sure you have a Nandroid back up. The link below will show you how to create one and it gives you some other helpful advice. That post really made me confident on moving forward with my rooting experience.

Follow these steps to the T. It will save u just in case something goes wrong.
Once you follow those steps you can move forward to selecting a ROM which will change your phones layout also making it possible to flash a theme.
ROMS

Hope this helps.
oh sick, sorry for the late reply! what rom did you choose? Yea i did nandroid back up right away when i rooted a few months back, always been iffy on ROM's but i am about to say f it and just go all out!
K, ive searched and tried everything to make the touch wiz launcher work , it keeps telling error donwloading themes, most of the time the themes wont load... then if you try and edit the screen using touch wiz, it has a section on themes, but i cant find any.
\the themes i have found say to flash them, i wipecache and dalvik flash them and reboot and nothing.

Are you sure the themes are compatible with your ROM?
Make sure your using the modded touchwiz. I think it's 4.5. I haven't seen it in a while so I couldn't tell you where to get it. I haven't seen any touchwiz specific themes other than for that version.
Just trying to point you in the right direction, I could be mistaken

No Im not sure if it is compatible with my rom , but blazer didnt mention that it wasn't !
And i actually did find the modded 4.5, it actually showed the themes ,preview as well, but would say error when downloading.
in a mindless moment i moved an old backup, restored, didnt nand, then deleted..wtf i know , it was early i was in a hurry !
So, latest Blazer Rom, when you go, menu,preferences, themes, it shows current theme,choose theme,install theme...
Does that work for anyone ?
Thanks for the quick, earlier replies!!
Hi
As title says I am toying with the idea of updating my ROM from stock 4.1.1
Although I am happy with its overall performance I would like to know from other people what they felt were the main difference when they changed ROMs
I would love to get rid of all the bloatware and have the new camera app with 4.2
also...read somewhere that 4.2 will be available OTA in the new year but what the hell, people root out of the box so it can't be all that bad
All advice welcome thank you for your time
Cheers
Lee
If all you want to do is remove bloatware, all you need to do is root. You can install some of the 4.2 apps without rooting either.

You don't need to use a Custom rom really.
I got my Note 2 since yesterday and I'm really happy with stock performance (and I was coming from a SGS3).
I just powered it with root and XposedFramework with call recording and multiwindow modules.
I don't know only few devs are doing their mods with xposedframework...

If you want to tweak and customise it then go for a custom ROM.
Otherwise, if you just want to remove pre-installed apps then just root it and stay on stock as D3 suggested.
Ok so rooting is a must, would I still get updates OTA if I am rooted? maybe for now I can just uninstall bloatware and install the camera app until 4.2 is released
Going to give this a whirl

I went that way with my Note I, and was so addicted to it that I didn't rest until I bricked it, of course it was entirely my fault alone but will never take that root again.
So my 64 million dollar advice is no, I will most patiently wait for the stock ROM.

I dunno about OTA. I rooted and flashed custom within about 2hrs of getting my Note 2
Put it this way though...any updates, fixes or features included in new official firmware will always be included in the latest stock ROMs, often even before the official stock appears as many XDA devs have industry insiders who often leak f/w early.
Easiest way to root and install a custom recovery:

All soft-bricks are fixable... don't let it put you off enjoying the vast array of awesome custom ROMs available for Note 2. Just be sure to always have a back-up handy, and to always read the instructions as many times as it takes for them to be clear in your mind :good:
If you have to ask then no.
This PSA was sent Flow style from my Note 2 N-7100
Been using droids for too long now, and I've tried them all. So my 128 million dollar answer will be, NO.
I'm never opening my door to welcome whole world of problems, bugs, frustrations.

You must be flashing the wrong ROMs
I've been doing this a long time too, on lots of different phones and rarely have any bugs or frustrations, certaininly nothing that isn't usually A/ apparent on stock f/w too or B/ fixed within hours/days by the ROM devs. I wouldn't say I'm a flashaholic though, I tend to find a ROM that works well then use it for a few weeks with the odd kernel swap until the next major release, usually a new base, then I'll monitor the threads for a few days to see what issues others are having and see if it's worth my while updating. I guess that's half the fun for me though and I understand some people simplay can't be bothered with it. Each to their own :good:
The good thing about Note 2 is it has good stock and cutom ROMs so you're going to have a good experience either way
I'd echo citizenlees comments. The stock rom is pretty good.
I'm a relative new comer, and I'm in the process of mixing up ROMS And kernels. And I have to say it's been fun trying new things and seeing how they work for you. My battery life now is mega! And that's only from tinkering.
Make sure your back up is solid depending on which recovery version you use.
I've had to use the recovery method when things have gone pear shaped, but all good now.
Have fun and explore in small steps.

you need to have root to enjoy your android phone to full...for ex: to include all apps in multiview, etc..........but when you have rooted the note2, there is no way you get OTA updates...they are also far and few..you need to update by flashing the official new firmware using odin, when it is made available, usually 2-3 months later than the leak....and you would again lose root...so you again have to root......(unlike my asus tablet, where i can restore root without problem and i get OTA updates despite being rooted..and i am using stock rom on it...asus is fast on updates and fixes)
so think about it, ...you may as well flash custom roms (most are close to stock on the note2 ...just debloated, rooted with all tweaks and mods pre-installed) and enjoy all tweaks and updates earlier.
just read instructions carefully, no problems
The stock firmware is wonderful. I myself got my note yesterday and I am planning to just root and debloat it. I would advise the same.

i'm more than satisfied with fully stock ROM ( with disabling bloatwares )
just playing with kernels
Im using it stock (4.1.2 official) + root + cwm (to flash some mods for odex roms...) .. And i enjoy it.. THe only thing i miss are those mods for notification toggles, as i cant get them to work on odexed 4.1.2...
Rest is totally fine...
And for the OTA. you dont need to wait for ota.. Just follow xda and, when next official version comes out (4.2) just flash it via odin

If quality don't matter, 4.2 camera isn't close to Samsung's firmware camera. Just something to consider.
Device belong to us..not samsung anymore. Unlease the power!
Update....
hence forth with cm10.1 and gapps-jb was a pleasant experience I have to say.
on boot chose not to do a full synch with gmail, sweet that it re-downloads all ur apps but on this occasion thought best not to
camera didnt have sphere!! so i flash it with 4camnex2 so now I have 2 camera icons in my app draw one that has no sphere and one that fails to load!! hmm
also keyboard doesnt have any number across the top, I was sooo used to this previous now its just a bind having to press 123 button
on the whole I am still glad I upgraded to 4.2
am I right that I could re-flash with an official ROM and revert back to OTA updates?
Any advice on tweaks wit this would be most welcome
Cheers

So I flashed SlimKat 2.3 yesterday and everything started looking small. I thought it was the ROM but I just flashed Paranoid 4.0 beta but still have the same problem. I used DPI changer but it is not helping. I'd appreciate your help.
Edit: I think It might the ROM this time also. Sorry my bad.
Let me know if you think this is not one of the features of the ROM and I deleted something while flashing new ROM.
Thanks

Slim will, by default, use a different DPI. I think ParanoidAndroid uses normal DPI unless you make changes; either way you should be able to edit your build.prop on the line that says ro.sf.lcd_density.
