anyone running an aosp rom? what system features does it break? the only reason i ask is because on my note 2 the s pen features were broken because it was built into the touchwiz overlay.

Its the same with the Galaxy S4. The cool features it has are closed source just like the other phones that run touchwiz.

If you are looking for the best and most reliable custom rom which is available now for the Galaxy S4 M919 Tmobile phone look no further.
Get the Wicked v3 custom rom, it's fast, error free and has a lot of nice mods.
This rom is based on the stock MDL Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 rom for the Tmobile M919 phones.

If you decide to flash this rom be sure to do a full wipe which includes Factory Reset, Wipe System, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
before you start flashing the rom.

Ideal custom ROM for Note 2?

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

Try Cyanogen Mod 10.1 it's based on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and you just get it on get.cm . Also, you would need to flash Gapps found on Rootzwiki. Google instructions. I would personally flash snapshots if I were you.
Just try all rom I personaty like jb 4 mind trick

[Q] Need Help deciding on a rom for my Gs3

Currently I'm looking to flash a rom onto my Gs3 that has Multi-Window enabled, but maybe something that doesnt involve touchwiz(?), I'm just a newbie to XDA and I wasn't sure on what the best Roms for my Gs3 that still have Jelly Bean, but aren't exactly stock rom are. I've been looking at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176793
But one thing i noticed is that in the description it talks about how the dev removed VERIZON bloatware and VERIZON ota updating, which makes me a little skeptical as to flashing it to my AT&T GS3. Any and all suggestions on what a good, stable rom with Multi-window and possibly some of the other GS3 original features would be appreciated!

Multi-window is a touchwiz feature, so u can't have it without a tw ROM. Check out S3Rx. Awesome ROM, insanely customizable, great support!! A lot of the other ROMs u will see use these guys mods in their ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252932
+1 to S3Rx.
and also to Intergalactic 3.0
both are TouchWiz based, and have multi-window.
A vote for deTmobilized also by enewman17. I tried the sr3x rom but wasn't fond of it.
Can't go wrong with Slimbean, it's not touch wiz though. Plus they just released JB 4.3 today.

Also +1 for S3rX. In theory it should be better than DeTMO, because it's an ATT base with all the funness added on top.
I personally love it and have it on mine and my wife's phones.

Quantum rom with bionic sheep kernel. It's ridiculously smooth and fast. Like its insane how nice it is. I've flashed a lot of roms over the past few months and this takes the cake. Running 4.3 as well is cool. That or I'd say TASK650 rom was sexy too.

Actually, I have the same question. I just got one AT&T version GS3. I don't like all AT&T bloatware, but I like stock ROM quality(in terms of stability, and smoothness).
Which version has no AT&T bloatware, has multi-window support, and as reliable as Samsung stock ROM ?
Thanks all in advance for all replies.

Root the stock 4.1.2 rom and debloat it manually. I have done this on 4 of my relative's I747 and they haven't had any issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4
For what its worth, Dandroid is my TouchWiz choice. Completely stock with a CM feel to it. I was getting great battery life out of it too! Its debloated and runs very fast! I also have to agree with KuRuPtIoN, that Slimbean is a good choice. Just tried the 4.3 and its rock solid. I have flashed almost every rom on these forums a couple of times, and I always come back to Dandroid for TouchWiz and either Slimbean or Tasks AOKP for non TouchWiz

I agree with this totally. TiBu will help you debloat the useless stuff that AT&T deems to put on the phone and it gives you more control in terms of disabling those pesky services you don't want running. I've been running the update just to see what improvements were made and so far so good once I debloated. I will be reverting back to AOSP soon though because I want the 4.3 goodness more than I want Samsung "goodies".

Best stock s3 rom?

I'm new to the s3 came from the epic 4g touch, and I'm curious what the best stock rom is. I want a stable, fast, smooth, good battery life, and a everyday driver. So my question is what rom should I go with?

I agree, there are so many good roms. There is something for everyone.
There is no such thing as a BEST ROM. Everyone has their own opinion of what they like
Members are expected to do the research before drastically altering their $700 device

[POLL] Which ROM you use and why

Just thought it might be a good idea to gather information. There aren't many ROMs yet but a lot of loyalty is being shown to our beloved devs who are producing.
Lets see who is using which ROM the most and why!

First ROM I read up on, so I have decided to try it out. So far so good.
I've success with most of them but the smoothest and best battery life for me have been with Lab Rats & MyRom using either stock kernel, Saber kernel, or Lean Kernel (current fav).
I think I might settle down and rest with MyRom as it is doing REALLY well right now.
I've used just about all of them and there all amazing, including international and cross carrier. My current setup that I have gotten comfortable with is darthstalker wuth compulsion kernel. Both rom and kernel have init.d support(this is a major + for me anyways) so I can use tweaks like int2extsd mod.

I've heard people having good luck with Omega from the n9005 thread... I gave it a try and wifi wouldn't work. Was going to do the build.prop trick but didn't have time....
Sorry, double post...
I am currently running Darthstalker v5 with Saber kernel 5.2. I love this combo and great battery life and excellent speed and stability.
Tweaked alpha. Because all the customization options.
sent from my ??????? note 3?
I am not picky. I have used all 900T versions. I like then all quite well, as they each have their own little flares. I flash between them quite often. Until wonder child kernel though, I couldn't boot Any sort of 0C kernel. I most commonly find myself using Darth stalker and Lab Rats as they play a little better with the WC kernel.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ViSiON X N3 is the ticket. Although, all of the roms work well, and have their own little something, something that makes them unique in their own way.
I'm running JEDI v5, I find myself at home with it. Been running JEDI since my Note 2. That's just a preference, I've tried the others and they are all great, haven't had any issues with any of them.

Yes, N9005 roms will work on your device.
Use your tmo kernel, and also manually setup the tmo apn settings....
