Hey guys,
I am now a proud owner of the Note 2!! Woo.
Just thought i'd introduce myself to this squad and say hello.
I've been flashing ROMs for nearly 10 years now, and can't wait to get my feet wet on this guy.
I'll be reading through all the stickies and read me first posts in the next day or so, but if you have any suggestions for a new Note 2 owner, i'd certainly be willing to listen.
Thank you all.

I'm using PA 3.1 and I've not had so much fine ricing up the framework in my phone before. It's really handy being able to change dpi considering everything looks so huge normally. It makes you be able to use up more screen real estate. Per-app coloring gives a nice finish that is hard to find on any other ROM.
However, just on the nose, I think the way it displays coverage is a little patchy.

That looks pretty decent. I know i want a relatively vanilla ROM without too much stylizing and theming. I could care less what launcher it has, because i'm just going to use Apex either way.
The features i'm most interested in are: google wallet, photosphere, unlimited mutliwindow, full s pen function, swype, fully customizable lock screen, changeable DPI, unlocked wifi tether, as well as all the other feautures that basically come standard now a days. I'm on the fence about allshare too.
If anyone knows a stable ROM that fits that description, I'll probably hit that up first.

Most of the ones that I posted for you are like that. But some are heavily themed. And I noticed you like a stock look. Well SKY NOTE :thumbup:, has what your asking for. Completely stock with everything in it!!! And it's made by a excellent developer!
But if I were you, I would down load a few of them. Then if you find one you like. But you saw other things in others you like. I just mix & match a few things. Then I'm a happy camper because I have everything I want in one place!

It's nice having a mobile device when it's the flagship. It seems to get a lot more attention on XDA.

Hi all. Just bought an S3, coming from an HTC One X. I miss my one X alot, but it didn't have the sd slot and battery that I needed. Other than that it was a great phone. Now I have an S3, great phone, but man Touchwiz is crapple in my opinion. There are some good and bad thing about it. So, I'm thinking about rooting and ROMing my phone up. I haven't been in the root an ROM business for about a year, so I feel a bit noobish again.
Any preferences on your favorite ROMs? I'm looking for something smooth and clean and not so bulky. Things are easy to get to and has some user fluidity to it.

I just bought a S3 as well (first non iOS phone) and am very happy. I went with Kyan's ICS ROM since it seems more stable than the leaked JB ROMs. Works great for me, not a single issue yet (following the instructions to the letter in the noob thread and his site).

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

I could have sworn the one he is talking about was TW, the dev even says to use a TW kernel with it. But at the same time it had the bug where when the other person hangs up you get a FC with phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
If I wanted miui I'd buy an iPhone
There are 2 different versions in the at&t thread. The cm edition is by far the better of the 2 and very few bugs. Some report MMS not working but I do not have this issue. As for the tw version, there seems to be quite a few different bugs other than the afore mentioned 1.
MIUIv5

I've tried both and I think the TW version has some advantages. As mentioned, it has working s pen and other sammy apps but it also has better bluetooth, sammy camera and working miui torch. There is a fc when the other person hangs up first but it's a minor irritation that only lasts a couple seconds. Battery lasts longer and volume is much louder with out installing a custom kernel.
I used to kinda despise miui but this new v5 is making me take a second look. Per app permissions is a pretty cool thing if you got a kid. And because it looks like iOS, it takes a little getting used to for hardcore aosp types but the clean, light look is somewhat appealing. Heck, I'm even researching Xiaomi phones cus it looks like you could get one pretty cheap. Bleeding edge? Not quite but pretty good bang for the buck
That's what I think.
Yes i would love to see an updated version of TW based MIUI i tried asking one of the devs who ports it for the GT-N7000 but couldn't help. Unfortunately i own a small business and don't have time to learn how to do it myself.
I did make the changes to EmotionMIUI_V2.6_AromaEN_3.7.5 And got it to boot but with errors and of course no lte
As for the MI phones I just checked on GSM Arena they all have quad band gsm and HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100, no LTE
If you wish to look for your self go here http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi-phones-80.php
Thanks for the link.... maybe with enough interest in this thread a dev will maybe come and help....
its interesting how a dev will swoop in, make a nice miui port, work with it for awhile, then disappear...its happened several times with various phones over the years, and it appears the same thing is happenning with this phone....
I know that we shouldnt expect anything to go on forever, but its sad for us MIUI fans to get pumped when a new release comes out, then after an update or two, the dev disappears and the rom just dies...
and, I agree with Johnny, that the current 10.1 version is MUCH better than the TW version; however, it appears that after the first release, the dev working on it cant get the update to boot....
Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.
I wouldn't mind learning and developing myself but with the apparent shortness of developers this could be slow going. Am I missing something here, is there just not a lot of development because this is a relatively new device, or is it a hard or impossible device to hack?

I came from the note 1 so I know the feeling...but I gotta tell you the stock software is really that good...I don't really miss any of my custom roms I use to run..the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.
I wouldn't expect development like what you're use to but like I said I don't miss it at all..
Hopefully the Nexus 5 will have a 5" screen like the rumors suggest and I can finally get a nexus device.
Yeah there a cm10.1 thats almost a daily. Pretty much everything works just a few bugs. There are repositories for a slimbean 4.3 on github but idk how far along that is as there been no release. And over in android forums there a guy working on a stock debloated deodexed rom and the bootloaders only been bypassed for a month or so. It took a while to get it unlocked but development has been goin pretty well since then. Just gonna take time.

So now that the bootloader has been cracked, we should see some more development soon I'd think? I'm just surprised this isn't a more popular device, the specs on it are bad ass.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Well like mrdsl said cm10 is the base for many of the good rom anyway and its almost done so I would expect to see development pick up soon. Especially as att keeps dropping the price makeing this easily the cheapest snapdragon600 device making it very appealing to many more people we should see the community for this phone grow a lot.

So now that the bootloader has been cracked, we should see some more development soon I'd think? I'm just surprised this isn't a more popular device, the specs on it are bad ass.

Not cracked, just bypassed makes a world of difference and according to what I've been told from LG reps they have no plans on unlocking the bootloader or releasing any source code

My understanding is the source that came from Samsung was leaked so hopefully something similar will happen with LG.

I enjoy mine and it's running stock but rooted. I've been able to do what I want with just root like getting rid of pesky qslides bar. It's cool but I don't use it and the apps are still there so ya. If you get this phone you'll enjoy it. Either way good luck with whatever you choose!
IMHO, a phone that good, stock rom is good enough!:laugh:
Stock ROM of Gpro is great.....and optimized.
I didnt miss CM or PA at all.
Exactly . Best rom by any android company released

I agree .. it's a good stock rom. I would have to say most people install roms to improve performance but even on the Note2 I had I wasn't installing roms like I did in the past on every device prior.. and in fact this G pro benchmarks about 60 to 100 percent faster than the Note2 in most ... and so far it's been the fastest, slickest device I've used by far. I'm using Apex Launcher for customizing .. and at this point my phone looks like stock Android 4.3 and runs lightning quick.. and battery life has been stellar. And I'm liking and using the quicknote dedicated button! Only thing I miss about my note2 is kinda the S-pen and the inky blacks(contrast)
I have own a lot of Samsung devices...starting from s2 to s4 and I change my s4 for this device because I didn't feel I big upgrade from s3...of course I miss switching rooms but I can tell you that this phone is a lot quicker than many phone out there...the G pro is a lot more responsive than my wife note 2 and what I love about this phone is BATTERY this monster last the whole day

the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.

do u kno if theres a black theme where the dialerpad, contact list and system settings are dark?
Stock is good, but modded roms are better. that's my option. Because the stock rom is so perfect, we're hailing the rom, but we better make sure that doesn't offend the developers. Even it is perfect, it is still 4.1, we will need 4.2/4.3 roms very soon, and LG won't catch up with our interest. So, we better appreciate what developers are trying now. Pls don't say we don't want mod roms.
For me, I just have one request to the devs, whatever you do, pls make sure the Quick Remote is in your rom, coz I'm already obsessed with it so much. now I can control everything around me with my phone.
Thought this might be a good idea so we have a place to voice suggestions, ideas, experiences on previous builds, etc. in anticipation of the N3 version Tweaked release. It should also keep the other Tweaked threads free of N3 chatter as it should be.
Edit-Anticipation is over. See Dwitherell's post below and the link to download Tweaked Alpha....Happy Flashing!

Big D has always said he gonna take his time and do it right. I don't think it gonna be anytime this week or next.
NOTE 3
Yeah... I had initially set an internal goal for around Halloween, but it's not looking like that will happen. I'm entirely too picky with things, but to be fair I was pretty open about how it will take me a while to get things together.
I'm not huge into teasers or anything but I can drop changelog-esque updates here and there so people see how things are progressing - if folks are interested. No worries if not

Bacardi im surprised you dont like the stock ui. It kinda grew on me. Ive always had black apps on my n2 as a matter of fact every app that Team Blackout makes is on my n2. A bit of a pain to keep them updated as Google has been spitting updates out for their apps like I change underwear these days (once a week) but I love tinkering so it didnt bother me. Now with my n3 im actually liking the white dialer, sms, keyboard. I think this is the best keyboard ive had experience with on any samsung phone ive had.
I'll most likely change my mind tho once Alexia eeleases some of her magic. Happy right now tho.
Ive been going crazy anticipating Tweaked but calmed down a bit after realizing; let everyone expose and resolve all the new bugs in other roms and even stock for that matter thisway Dwitherell can incorporate them in Tweaked and when released it should be pretty much perfect like previous builds.

My guess; we'll all be getting yelled at:"why are you always playing with that phone" at thanksgiving dinner.

Anyone know how to get rid of all the letters that pop up when you long press a key on your keyboard? I just want to be able to use the symbol associated with the particular letter when I long press not 5 different letters from 5 different languages. I thought maybe I had more languages installed but it seems like I only have english. So what gives? Really slows down typing....

Guys im working on a debloat list but its taking me a little time to complete because im removing only a couple apks at a time and rebooting as to avoid issues. When I first got the phone I removed a bunch of apks at once and when I rebooted I was in safe mode and had a ton of issues and had to rebuild. So it might take me a day or too but if anyones interested ill post it so you can follow the list if you would like to do the same safely, even when Tweaked is out.
Fyi i created a folder on the root of my ext sd card called System Bloat. Im moving all the apks in there just in case I need them later or if something poses a problem I can move it back easily.

I have yet to look into what can be debloated and what can't, so I would be very interested in what you find out

Loved the wallpaper selection in Tweaked, my personal favorite being the gangsta android with his arms crossed. Anyone have that since I mentioned it? Other than that, no worries, loved it the way it was.
Would be cool if some modified version of the air command pop up were implemented when the pen is withdrawn.. Definitely can't wait

So strange...
So is this with Data off? With Wifi calling on/off?
I have yet to have an issue with Mms on any combination of data/wifi/wifi calling - I wish the rhyme or reason to the variability was known on this one.
