My Spring Note 2 is currently stock rooted, and I'm thinking of beginning to start downloading and exploring some of the rom's out there. But before doing so, I'm wondering is anyone has any advice a pros and con's of each one, or maybe interested in starting one? Not looking for what the 'best' may be, as that's a personal choice, but more of a feature list, etc of each rom.
I would really like to test the Jedi rom, but unfortunately it is not available for the sprint note 2.
I have use lots of aokp roms as well as touchwiz and my experiences are that aokp roms losses signal a lot % 20 percent of areas I have use cm, carbon, pacman, paranoid,stock aokp and all of them seems to be the same but paranoid and pacman have a bit better signal, now on touchwiz roms you will not see that I recommend macks rom or lab rat rom for me this 2 roms are stable I have try many more but some of them have to much theme. I hope this help you if you have any question let me know as I have try lots of roms Thanks

Or u could do what I do, which theres probably many like me. I am stock rooted well almost I flash many mods from this site or found in other roms so its like building your own rom things such as themes, kernels mods like the bravia engine.

If you want the latest version of android use a AOSP rom. I highly recommend it. Carbon ROM is super fast, smooth and has great features. Good benchmark scores paired with plasma kernel too.

All roms have pros and cons, but only the individual user can make those determinations as all users are different.
Threads like these get closed as the always spiral into arguments about which rom is best, members are expected to do their own research and reading to determine what it is they want.

I installed some ROMs but can find what the best. Anyone can help me
For most people AOSP Kang. It's the best supported and very stable. I'm sure there's others out there that are more experimental with cooler features.
What is the best car? Or the best Music? Different people have different needs so what the best ROM is for me, isn't for you. Just try some more and find out whuch one suits you the best. No harm is done in flashing some different ROMs and you might get addicted to flashing as some of us here are
You will get different answers from various people here.

As mentioned above its all about preference. A good way to see what will suit you is taking a look at the first post of every rom. It'll let you know which features it includes to help you decide. Also, read some posts by others to see if there are any widespread bugs that'll shy you away from it.
As of now AOKP is the most popular ROM. Customization is almost limitless and its loaded with with extra features. It all comes down to what'll make you most productive and happy with your phone.

FoxHound ROM 0.4.
If you want a highly customizable and very snappy ROM, try FoxHound ROM 0.4. I used it for several months and is definitely my favorite ROM for the G.N.
AOKP. maintained very well and updates about every week
just my opinion, but yeah look around and find what fits you. aokp is great because it has a lot of customization so you can make it the way YOU want it to be.
Another vote for aokp

Without a shadow of a doubt it's CodeName Android.
AOKP and Foxhound are good, but lack the a lot of the simplicity and features that I like on CNA.

I have choosen the jack nexus rom, this mod rom created by vietnamese.

I have used root box slim and task and I keep jumping back to tasks 4.2 ROM. You gotta try them yourself every phone seems to work different and you won't know until u try..

More or less you just have to research about each different rom and see which you think fits you best. Read the threads and comments, bugs, fixes, updates, etc. Watch and read reviews and pick one you think does what you need it to.
OK is it better to get the nightly builds or stable builds... I don't want a lot of crashes
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If you don't want a lot of bugs and such i would go with the stable builds.
You wld have to read the change logs to see.. But I would stick to stable.

Task650 4.2.1 ROM is by far the best out there, he is one of the best developers on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684&nocache=1
To reiterate, your best bet is to test a few for yourself. I personally am a huge fan of Task650s AOKP 4.2.1. It is perfectly stable and full of options to suit your needs.
i would also recommend tasks aokp 4.2.1 really smooth daily driver
i have the same question, what rom can you recommend? battery life is a big factor for me. thanks.
Task's is good yet I really enjoyed vanilla rootbox as well. I'm not a huge fan of the look of AOKP in general but either would be a nice place to start. If you do decide to go back to a 4.1.2 ROM all your files are stored in a directory called "0" so you will need to use a file explorer to move them back to the main folder.
task's 4.2.1 for sure
For me, toss up between Root box and LiquidSmooth
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
For me rootbox
SGSlll AT&T
My advice is try them out.
No one phone is alike and no one user is alike
Battery and performance rely more on the user than the kernel/ROM
Don't expect the battery to last days if your screen is going to be on A LOT..expect a couple hours of juice..
And don't expect maximum performance with out a modified kernel and trying to conserve battery.
I'm on RootBox with KT kernel all balanced out...
Try your own OC/Voltage setting to what you'll be happy with
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No ROM is best because no 4.2 has working bluetooth Lol but yeah I think out of the available options, Task's for sure.
i think i have a bug or addiction to flashing new roms i am all new to the android scene and i have had my phone for about a month and all i do is swap rom every other day. Iv'e got the bug man!! the best rom i have found that works for me is the Wicked rom Port from T-Mobile i had 1d and 5hours use on a full battery the other day i also like the galaxymod rom too but cant get reception i did at first then lost it on the second day
those are my 2 favorites if you like TW based roms..
A search would have answered this. Thread closed

Hey everyone I am wondering what the best rom is for the galaxy s3 sgh i747. But before replying please read this entire post. I understand that there are different roms and it depends on what you like, but I would like an opinion with facts and I am going to leave it up to you guys to be mature and repect everyones opinion and not turn this into a flame war. Now when I say best I mean in means of the following:
Stability - Most important because we don't want our roms crashing all the time
Proformance - Speed and battery life, may not be the fastest rom or the best rom to hold a charge but the key is a good balance
Features - This is a mix between quality and quantity
Productivity - If the Authors of the rom are no longer working to develop it then let's not dwell on obsolete roms
Bugs - Of course another biggie is the bugs because it can be great but if it's riddled with bugs there's no point
Thanks guy I appreciate your time, I figured I would ask this because I work two jobs and would like to update my rom and I don't have time to flip through the mediocre roms. **This is not a thread to hurt anyones feelings lol**
Vanilla Rootbox might be what your looking for.
Graviton for stock modified or vanilla root box for custom.
Graviton is about as stable as you will get.
Dandroid is amazing too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I agree with the other two. vanilla root box definitely the best IMO.

Best rom - Task650's 4.2.1 AOKP. Hands down. No contest. Yes, that's just my opinion... but hey - you asked!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Task650's AOKP is definitely the best in my opinion (based off how I use the phone). He addresses any potential bugs quickly (which are few) and keeps the updates coming regularly...something you will never get with stock.
Ultimately though, each device is different and how each user interacts with their phone is different, so what ROM will meet all of your requirements can vary.
Task650 ROM. Rock solid! Never had single reboot. Love it

CM 10.1 is now flawless. Of Course -> IMO
Please follow the forum rules.

I'm not going to ask the dreaded "what's the best custom rom" question but I'd like some opinions on some users.
I'm looking for something that's stock based, debloated, optimized kernel for batter or possible options to oc/uv, things like that.
All responses will be appreciated.

friggin gettin' it done, buddy. love it
who is your service provider? in the android developer section there are stock based roms that are debloated. ignore the above link for most part. just a sausage measuring thread really. go to the source of roms and find one. you can always change it. personally I use wicked v8 which sure looks stock and I get better battery. but go out and experiment. if there was a best rom it would be the only rom
you need to do the research yourself and decide what you like. not that hard, just a bit of reading, maybe a bit of flashing.

Personally the 2 best ones I've used so far are the XperiaZ rom and LiquidSmooth RC2..
LS being very Nexus-ish and is JB 4.2.2
Fastest and smoothest I've tested so far (out of about 8 or so)
The Xperia rom is like a modified stock TW with some cool features like the Sony home screen customizations and has the option to have the Note 2 cam and gallery, features intact.
Both roms last about 20+ hrs with pretty heavy use..
But they all have their different perks and strengths, weaknesses, etc..
Basically up to you to flash multiples until you find a good stable daily driver that suits all your needs
Be sure to follow instructions meticulously and read read read!
Make sure also to hit "thanks" to people that help you and consider a donation to a rom dev that's spent their hard earned time to cook up these cool options for us!
Happy Flashing!

op said something stock based. and you throw out an aosp rom. if you like touchwiz, like me, aosp will probably annoy you. and as for add-ons. well you can tinker a bit. like my rom didnt have nexus cam with the sphere cam so I just flashed it in a separate zip file. you can just debloat what you already have after you root and get a new kernal. kernals will improve your battery life on their own. but yea. read stuff

"Glitch Free" is a relative term. All 4.2.x Roms have some glitches, but there are many glitches that I overlook because they don't affect me.
That being said, the best way to find out which Rom you want to use is to try them out! The three that I always cycle through are:
LiquidSmooth (this is my base, I flash others to compare it to this)
Slim Bean
Carbon Rom
Now there are other ones that people have said good things about, including (but not limited to):
Deviant Xone
PAC Rom
Hope this helps, even though I basically just replicated the front page of the Original Android Sub-forum.

You can't really have a "best" ROM. The effectiveness of a ROM depends on the user. Every user has different needs. If you're looking for the most stable ROM out there, your best bet is staying on stock touchwiz. If you're looking to try out AOSP, you'll have to flash a couple of ROMs. I run Slim Bean build 3. The newest build is on Linux 3.4 and I have found bad battery life. Build 3 was released only a couple weeks ago. Using dkp kernel and Slim build 3, I have found these to be my "best" setup. I am finding very little bugs and I have great battery life and performance. You'll have to flash a few ROMs and kernels before you find out what works best for you. Have fun flashing! Good luck mate

@OP
If you're asking for a "best" ANYTHING, you should think twice before posting. As said, this is all relative. It depends on your usage, your definition of "stability", and what you consider to make something "good".
When I say the "best" I mean exactly what I said. What is the best to you and there are many ROMs that are very stable. But what's the most stable version of that ROM.
