Dirty unicorn ROM - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

What is the best kernel to run with this ROM? I know its base off what I like but other people experience would be highly appreciated. I heard its out of devil or plasma kernel for this ROM. I really like my battery life.

I'm running it on Plasma Kernel and the battery life has been horrible. 3 hours on with 1 hour and 40 minute screen time and I'm down to 40%. I'm going to switch over to Devil and see if that gives me better battery life. I'm only using plasma because of stweaks so I can up the speaker volume since the AOSP volumes are really low.

This rom and plasma have runied my life as of late.
I'm back to stock cause I could not get plasma to install and work with dirty Unicorn and now I can't get plasma to install on stock I have no idea what to do.
So I love plasma for the same reason I need the audio tweaks but love dirty unicorn too. Now I'd just be happy with one or the other at this point. If anyone has had thos issues or can give me a gyide link please do.

why couldn't you get plasma to install? There was a new version that came out 2 days ago for 4.3 roms and plasma doesn't work on TW roms. I've always used Perseus kernel on TW based roms since stweaks supports it.

You have to give kernels time to settle in. Battery life means nothing unless you've given the kernel a day or so to figure everything out.
IME Plasma runs smoother than stock on DU, if you bump the clocks on CPU/GPU a bit. And last I tried Devil it didn't even run as smooth as stock on DU. The stock on DU is quite good.

Never had any trouble with battery issue with Plasma on either roms, well at least not with 4.2 roms. Maybe the kernel has some kinks and what not to work out. I might switch back to stock if the battery doesn't improve. I do miss my spen funtionality.

Okay I'll admit I am new to this so maybe it was the Perseus I was running stock. Hmm. So that is the one I like then because I used Stweaks and it made the audio better than the DSP that comes w/ DU IMO.
So my beef is the Kernel threads don't really give any info in the post as to what I have to have to run it. IDK maybe I am lost. So basically I am on stock now, if I want to just do a quick Kernel w/ the Stweaks option I need to get Perseus then??
Thanks sorry and I want to jump back to DU but hopefully w/ the audio tweaks and Stweaks I was really digging., IF that is possible also let me know as I seem to be missing something in the kernel threads.
THanks everyone this has been killing me brick flash brick flash ....uughh.

Hoss, almost all the SPen functionality is available via freeware or payware programs on Play. And has been for months. "Almost" as in the only thing I know of that you can't do is do selection-based screencaps.
Really the only thing TWiz has going for it at this point is that it has good battery life, is Touchwiz, and is 8+ months out of date.
Plasma 2.0 is churning fine on my 4.3 DU right now.

Well, I'm an idiot. Had been using the Plasma kernel or trying w/ everything. It was the Perseus one that I love.
Can we use the Perseus on DU? Probably not but that's what I want to do that would be the perfect combo IMO.

Perseus is for TouchWiz ROMs while Plasma is for AOSP so the answer to your question is no you can't use Perseus on DU

[Q]Which Kernel are you using?

Hello All!
I made a similar thread to this over at the SGSII forums and was wondering what your answers are. So, the question is simple, which Kernel are you using and is the battery decent? Or a pile of rubbish? Lemme know. Poll has been setup with the main Kernels, I'll put an "other" option for people who are using new Kernels.
So, poll away!

was using James Bond kernel 1.35 OC UV, never crash or lag. far better battery life than stock and super smooth.
right now i am testing faux123's kernel V9u for 4.0.2.

I tried Faux 4.0.3 Kernel yesterday, battery was losing 2% every 30 mins on idle, with next to 0 apps installed.
Running Stock AOKP Milestone 2 kernel, whichever kernel that is!
I wanna try different kernel but my ROM is perfect, not sure sure what other kernels may add that my rom already has and does.

As far as features go, Franco.Kernel adds color and vibrance to your screen. Its also tweakable so you can customize the color settings as you please. Battery is apparently awful though.

I am sort of noticing that battery life isn't so great too, although I wasn't sure since I haven't been running it for very long.
I was also looking for the best kernel.
Everybody talks about franco.Kernel. I will give it a try though.
Was using Franco's until earlier and now back to the Apex kernel that comes with bigxie's AOSP build
Eh? Franco kernel has the best battery life for me.

I just loaded on Lean kernel yesterday. Initial indications are that the battery life is extremely good.
180mhz cpu while screen off = happy battery.
Giving glaDOS a try.. it has some cool features like turn the screen on by touching it.. also has color control and battery life seems pretty decent so far. Big fan of imoseyon though.

I'm currently on Bigxie Build 8 with the Kernel included with it. Battery is pretty good. Underclocked my CPU to 970MHz. Losing 2% battery overnight (About 8 hours) and High usage I'm getting a decent amount of battery.
I'm wondering: I'm running ARHD 2.1.3 and thinking about flashing a kernel. Franco's had more options, but I'm getting that Jame Bonds kernel has a better battery life. That appeals to me. edit: ah, I see that Franco's is only for 4.0.3
Still, when I flash the kernel with ARHD 2.1.3 running, is it better to flash the anykernel.zip or should I just flash the original kernel?
Argh, just in the fun, looking for the best kernel. I'm between Franco's and Der Kernel Trinity NP (by the way, NP, Google, don't let Samsung impose it's boring naming system)
Trinity offers 512OC for the GPU, but I'd say Franco gives a better battery life....
Hmmmm difficult decision, isn't it? What do you guys think?
Currently rocking the Trinity kernel with mildly OC'd GPU (384 MHz).
I'm using imoseyon's kernel. I love minimalist kernels. Stable, fast, and not full of crapfeatures that just cause everything to crash and SOD and bootloop.
I think it's probably a good idea to give a try first of the kernel that comes with the ROM. Developers often adjust the ROM around the kernel they use and vice versa.
i went back to the James Bond kernel, no reboot or lag.

Thoughts on ROM's so far??

So I'm new to the android community coming from an iphone 4S, and so far it's pretty awesome. lol. I've tried two ROM's, AOKP and TuchMi. So far i'm enjoying TuchMi since it brings the stock with all of Samsung's features, plus overclocking, V6 and all that. performance has been nice. As i'm trying to get more into android, I wanted to know you guy's thoughts on the two ROM's or maybe any other ones that might be better?? thanks in advance!
Stock, the best!

I was hoping this thread to run good since I am trying to get an idea on roms since I just got my S III today.
We got enough good roms going.
I mean we have a subsidized carrier phone, so it's pretty natural for the international counterpart would get more attention.
With that said, I love AOKP.
AOKP is beast. Just trying to test out different ROM's, but seriously, if you like touchwiz, check it out. Only thing is, my apps say they are invalid when I download. Any help??

Diet ICS
Also tried TuchMi, it was pretty good.
Currently using the diet ICS build from 08/04 with the latest BLUE theme installed (found in the diet ICS thread from peterguru) and it looks and works great. Running ktoonz latest kernel (which allows underclocking to 192MHz and has more steps than faux123's v009) and smokin's CPU Editor with Battery Saver. Great battery life, great performance, awesome blue "diet" theme. Probably my favorite so far.
To be honest though the thing that made me switch and flash diet ICS over TuchMi 5.0 was the inclusion of Google Wallet (although now my phone thinks its a Galaxy Nexus ) -- still haven't been able to test it out in the wild though...

AOKP has been wonderful so far, flashed it from CM9 and not really seeing any reason to go back although both are great in their own ways.
Wanam has a really nice ROM. Well that's if you're one of us that actually likes Touchwiz. I for one love it. Smooth and excellent battery life.

I've been on TuchMi-S3"X" 5.0 since i got my phone 2 weeks ago. So far the best. I tried Diet rom too, but it was a little skinny for me (lol?).
I tried AOKP today and I had used AOKP on my Atrix before, but I went back to TuchMis3x right away because its so far the best. Stable, Battery is insane too!
I'm just waiting for CM10 to fully come out for our phones and i'll make the switch!
Sooo, I switched from TuchMi to AOKP, and right after, my battery starts to drain. Drained about 5% within 2min. Running TuchMi, my battery barely moves. Now I'd have to say that it is successfully the best ROM imo. only problems are: my Google account syncs on and off with contacts, and sometimes i get a blue screen fracture. idk.

If your battery drained that fast then something is wrong. Almost 11 hours on battery with 2 hours of screen time, lte on all day and wifi on past 3 hours and I am sitting at 62% right now. I am on aokp ics right now. Only thing keeping me from newer updates is that HBO go doesn't work in any of the cm10 based in roms yet that I know of
I would also like to point out that it takes several battery cycles before a rom fully settles in and you find out how it truly performs with battery.

Thanks for that. Like I said, I'm new to this so I didn't know what was going on, so the first thing that came to my mind was to go back. Now I just flashed the AOKP jb ROM. The AOKP that i had before was the CM9 based one i believe? lol. Either way, thanks man. added a little more confidence for me lol.
Jellybro from Euroskank the best one for my needs. not the last one though. 2 days battery, butter smooth, love the Jelly aesthetics and simplicity.
When the bugs are worked out of paranoid android I would say give that a run. The ability to run phone and tablet on one device together flawlessly is great. Plus you ave full control over the size of all apps and the such.
JellyBro is my top pick, then would be a stock ROM ([ROM]{??/??/????}TEAM_INSOMNIA PrEsEnTs ARISTODEMOS) and after that I'd say AOKP CM9 based for EXTREMELY long battery life.
been using cm9 for a few days, perfectly stable so far and great battery life. Can't beat stock ics
Blazer
I have been on Blazer O/C with the Kalagas mixed ICS Theme and love it. Seems all the stock based ROMS are fine with some nice tweaks

Help with finding a rom?

So i rooted my phone a year ago (about) and never did anything with it till now. I'm starting to get the jist of things, but i realized most of the roms that look good to me are for international versions of the Gs3.
So here we go, does anyone know of a ROM with better battery life than stock, android 4.2.2 (optional), a smooth feel and keeps the phone fast, takes up little ram, (OpTiOnAL: pie control I can get it without the rom but it's easier built into it)
Now it does not need to have all of these, just letting you know what I'm looking for
I also have tried liquid smooth and didn't like it. I'm current on Paranoid android 2.54 on android 4.1.2 and not really liking the battery life
One thing that I absolutely need is good battery life, and I'm not quite sure what kernel to get and if I have to under clock it myself or something, or if I can just flash it and that's it

The People's Rom, or Mother of All Roms.. Try them out.. Pie control you can always add later, Both are 4.1.2, plenty of options of themeing (Via Morphology), Kernel choices as well. YMMV on any rom depending on use. But give them a shot see what you think. Ktoonz is the kernel that give most customizable options.

There are 2 ROMS that I know will work for you as far as battery life. They both are also TW stockish. One is TPR and the other is MoAr. One note though ALL phones are different and everyone's taste is different. Both ROMS use Aroma installer so there are options and both are also Morphology approved.

You know I'm all over this like a fat kid on a cupcake Taz. Still love ya tho.
Best bet is to make a backup in CWM or TWRP and flash.
Try each one for a day as no one can tell you what is best for you
Every ROM is the best for each user but they found them by flashing a few
Then deciding what worked for them.

What ROM for my girlfriend? (stable, reliable, great battery life)

Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 RC6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

from those 3 links i prefer aosp..and without mods..for launcher just use nova/apex..
and for my suggestion try cm9rc7..
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2
My honest advice:
Do not consider anything except Stock ROM with Value Pack or CM9.
Its not that those other coders are not talented. But - it's like with those small, heavily tuned / modified Honda Civics driving around: Their owner / creators and other enthusiasts love them for their custom mods, but you really could/would not give such a car to your girldfirend, mother, or whatever.
sooner or later you run into problems that will never be fixed, nothing for daily usage by a non-IT-person.
With beta 6, i guess you mean RC6?
Battery lasting, the missing fm radio and a sometimes not-100%-stable camera would be the only drawbacks i see for it.
Performance and overall fluidity is at least one class over the stock rom, really remarkable.
Maybe there will be better battery performancee with CM9 in the future, as it is not really clear atm, what causes the impacts.
But i think its unlikely that it will ever reach the Stock ROM under this aspect, as the new features are simply likely to consumer more cpu cycles then before.

CM9 RC6 was actually my first choice, because a friend of mine is using it without any problem. Anyway, i've experienced the huge battery drain even with CM9 RC6.
I can give a try to CM9 RC7 but i'm wondering: wouldn't it be better to choose a ROM with the 2.x kernel?

Yes, i meant RC6, sorry.
Sadly, battery performance is crucial for my girlfriend. Anyway, i just want a "normal" battery drain; what i'm experiencing is a very massive battery drain, totally abnormal.
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...
for me battery drains so fast because of to many apps..just install apps only for daily use..
yeahh i can see some of us back to 2.6..

I think the same but she's just like 20 apps, Pinterest, Instagram, GoogleReader, Dolphin, GMail, and stuff like this.
Regarding your screenshot, 17% left after 10 hours is not so great.
This is her phone now:
Can i install a 2.x kernel on CM9 RC7?
like i told you before..i use my old battery and stock 3.0kernel rc7..my battery usually last no longer than 5-6hrs..
you got 16hrs..that better than mine..
if you want 2.6 kernel i think it is better to install cm9 rc2..

5 - 6 hours? How can you use the phone? You can't even go outside for a dinner that you have to charge your phone.
Do you mean that you actively use the phone for 6 hours or what?

Understood, thanks
AOSP by outerheaven was one in the list of the ones i wanted to try...
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...

Thanks!

Queen Anne's Revenge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161091
BioHazard RoM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927428
They're just customized CyanogenMod, and i've already have problems with CyanogenMod. If i would try CM another time, i would stick to CM9 Unofficial
Even if Queen Anne's Revenge is aimed to best battery life and it's made by an italian (as me ). It's interesting...
I think i'm gonna flash one of those modified stocks! Wish me luck!
At the end of all my tests, i've decided to keep using F.A.W. (Rls 3, from the same branch of Rls 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626827
It's simply a powered Samsung stock but it's rocking stable, really fast, enough good looking and with a huge battery life!
Perfect for my girlfriend!

[Q] Opinions for Custom Rom with good battery life and performance

Hello everyone,
first post since I got a Note 2... and I really like this phone... people seem to have a laugh at me since it is on a larger side, but then I have my own laughs when i see them trying to properly view web pages etc...
I have decided to go the custom Rom way, however, I would like some help.
I would like to have a decent ROM which gives good battery life and decent performance....my usage is pretty normal, email, Facebook, browsing, etc, not much games... so the ROM does not need to be performance oriented.
Any tips please on where to start... Tried searching here, but got a bit mixed up...
I like the stock looking TW Roms and would like Snote and the basic stuff such as calendar etc..
also which kernel would be suggested with this ROM.
Any help will be appreciated I know that I will have to try some ROMS to see which is best, however any help will save me a lot of flashing ROMS, kernels etc..... I know that usage is dependant on user patters etc, but some direction will be appreciated.
Many thanks to all...
Check thunderlite v5, it's great!

thanks, i was actually looking at that as a start.
There is a bit of debate on which kernel to us... if you have practical experience on this, any idea which is best please?
In two days this thread will be closed. There is no a rom better than other.

sorry about that... understand that all roms are good...
just asking for practical experience in usage.
you can just delete it now if you wish.... I guess i have to flash each one and see which works best for me..
sorry for the trouble...

You are right. It's all about personal preference and thunderlite is mine.

You must have misunderstood me...
I want opinions on a custom rom (with all the benefits of a custom rom) that gives good battery life... not one which improves battery life...
been flashing many roms so far and all of them are good and yea battery life depends on your usage, before i use aosp rom specially slimbean, the only reason i use aosp because it doesn't have any lag for me, not for games but generaly everything. even i use stock and rooted samsung rom i got lag wheb browsing even just the settings when sliding it down and even the gallery and messaging, it's just a slight lag. but after trying omega v18 rom it doesn't have and im surprise coz i dont have to use aosp rom with some minor bug and now im happy using samsung custom rom with no lag and enjoying all stock features. so battery is not a problem really on our note 2 just pick whatever that gives better performance. but whatever it's your personal taste on what rom do you want.

cheers... will also try the ROM you mentioned... and thanks... it has to be a TW Rom ideally as i like the interface.... plus some of the samsung apps I use, so will to have those....
its normal to be concerned about battery life
amongst stock sammy roms the battery performance is also going downhill unfortunately, MG1 being the worst,
taking cue from tamirda i went for mf2 and the best one i feel was the chinese release, but it has chinese bloat and no play store,
its malaysian version is defintely one for keeps
me6 is also better than mg1
i like to root with cf auto -root and use xposed framework for customisation so i can stay on an odexed rom.....
tamirdas mf2 custom rom v13 will give a good combination of customisations, rooted deodexed experiences and battery life.
i wish someone would make a rom on the chinese mf2
i also love aosp and its looks and features but battery wise -- well im still testing with various kernel/rom combinations on 4.3
If you have a 7105. Then I'd recommend Jedi x17 with the newest saber kernel. Battery for me is better than stock. It also comes with nice eye candy and a lot of built in goodies.
But to each their own

nope have a 7100... if they make a version for the 7100 I will gladly give it a try..
@rraaka, thanks for your input... while i love the addons and various mods available, battery life is rather important as i spend a lot of time away from a charging point, and need to phone to serve as my office away from my office...

Only American 7100 I believe but the kernel may be different.
Check the rom thread here

The kernel you can link through to from there also
Good luck
