New note 2 help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

My wife just got a new note 2 suggestions for rom and rooting methods . Please keep in mind that I'm looking for a4. 3 rom that's a daily driver with features and I was thinking just root and xposed but I wanted to hear from someone who has been there 1st. I myself have the 3 running x note via safestrap and battery life is amazing.

Not asking for the best rom or anything just asking for one that's alpha no issues meaning i just want to flash and be done with it since I will not be using the phone i don't want my wife constantly hacking about problems with the os.

touch wiz or Aosp

Ditto note 3 :good:

There are two good TouchWiz Roms, Ditto Note and SkyNote Air. I would read the first few posts in each thread and then the last few pages to get an idea of how easy each one is to set up, how often they are updated, etc. You will also learn a bit about the process so it is good from the start no matter which one you choose.
BTW, Jedi X2 is in the T-Mobile Note II forums. It is a good TW ROM and is multi-carrier, it just happens to be hosted over there. Good luck.

This HERE^^^^^^:thumbup:
I'll add to that, Skynote Air vanilla.
Link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48821077
Is completely stock with no note 3 features included. Which means less room for problems in the vanilla version. Being it's based off of the MK6 ota update...

I would stick with a very stable 4.1.2 ROM since we know a lot about it.
I know for a fact vanilla edition 4.3 sky note is stable also. But we are still learning about 4.3..also with older 4.1.2 you don't have to flash the new bootloader or anything.
To each their own..start flashing and see what you like

how to get multiview update?

just got a note 2
it's rooted and so I can't do OTA updates because it has modified software
is there a way I can get the update so I can use multiview/multiwindow on my phone without flashing a rom?

I don't believe being rooted by itself will prevent OTA updates. The update will most likely make you rooted again though. But their is no update available yet, and may not be for months.
I would install a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM. That way you get a better multi-window (that works with all apps), no bloat and improved battery life.
+1 for rooting & custom/ported rom. It's not as scary as it seems as long as you study and READ. Check & doublecheck that is compatible with i317. The are countless advantages to it over keeping stock (if you don't like what stock has to offer) PLUS (here is the best part) you can brag that you "got rid of that att s*$&" and hacked your phone....People are usually pretty impressed. Lol) Seriously though just take the leap. You'll be glad you did!

Install Clean ROM. Everything works great including multi-view
just new to android..... i would like to know what is the different between the clean rom and the other roms, like Jedi and hybirds?
I have only tried Jedi x6 rom. Don't want to try any other rom because this one seems to cover all the bases and is rock solid. I've heard nothing but good things about clean rom though so probably can't go wrong with either. Jedi is sick though. And for what it's worth it is also pretty clean. If someone handed me this phone I would not know there was a rom on it other than the upgrades, I.e., multi window, extra toggles, etc. Good luck with whatever you choose. By the way everyone on Jedi thread is extremely helpful and patient.

Thanks topshelf95. I am new here, that's why I ca'tn post in the developer forum for any questions about X6. I am using X3.3 now and tried X6 but converted back to X3.3 cos I can't install any other language for handwriting for X6. If I know how to fix that, I will switch to X6 for sure.

There is never a "best" rom.
Flashing loads in a day gets you nowhere. Your not giving them a chance.
There is always a risk with flashing roms.

I was meaning that if the flashing is succesful..is there any risk of the flashing very often coz i never play with beta roms or tesing kernel if u kniw what i mean

You can flash 10 ROMs per day, I don't think there will be any problem. But frankly it's kiddish, and after using Android for almost 4 years now, I've no idea what people benefits from flashing nonsense on their phones.
Oh, for me, the best rom is stock for everyday use, never gotten into the craziness of custom ROMs, never will.
Sent from my GT-N7100
For me... STOCK is more than enough.. if you are Android Developer or something like that... you can choose from many ROMS out there
For me Omega rom is the best.:good:
Imao stock is enough in case of note2
The ones that support note 2 functions don't have much difference from stock rom.
The ones that do much difference don't have note 2 and spen functions.
I think mods are enough for me.
I use wanamlite anyway because it's deodexed and the only thing I wanted to change was multiwindow control and remove some bloatware and wanted latest update I.e. dll7
I would've been happy with stock rom if it
had been deodexed as there are some things that could have been better imao.

Best of rooting on Note 2

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

[Q] any custom touchwiz rom, like omega for t889?

Just got my note 2 from t-mobile couple of weeks ago....loving it. Been a fan of cynogenmod for years, BUT this time, I wanted to keep the s-note feature of my new note 2. So, any custom touchwiz rom for this note? Heard good things about omega, but cannot find it. Points, help and suggestion are welcome...Many thanks.
My note 2 has 4.1.2, been rooted, cwm installed, and debloated with mrrobinson zip.
If this question has been asked, sorry, I looked through last 5-8 pages, but I cannot find anything.
You can choose from many Roms in the Development section.
However, if you don't care about the WiFi calling, take a look at DN3 Rom from AT&T Note2 forum.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
+1 for DN3
but if you want to stick with a 4.1.2 Rom I suggest Tweaked 2.5. It's flawless IMO.

[Q] Which ROM? Slimfast or ezKAT?

Having been on Jedi X18 for months now all the 4.3 and now kitkat TW ROMs are really new to me.
I guess my first question should be, is there any reason I would not want to go to 4.4 and should rather opt for 4.3?
Of the two 4.4 ROMs what are the basic differences between them? Which installs more simply on an AT&T i317 being used for Simple Mobile (T-Mo MVNO) still on 4.1.2? (I'd rather avoid Odin having no experience with it, but am under the impression the AGNI kernel would be enough...)
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

I'm sorry if the original title is misleading, but I'm not really asking which ROM is preferable, I'm just trying to gain information on the differences between them, as well as between the 4.3 ROMs (such as SkyNote & DN3) and them.
As I mentioned after spending a lot of time researching and installing the 4.1 ROMs such as Scot's and Jedi, I haven't really been keeping up with the newer trends, and even after going through about 30 pages so far am finding it a bit overwhelming.
The one basic piece of information I have been able to figure out so far, is that it seems like the 4.3 ROMs (at least until DN gets out of Beta for 4.4) are more full featured with Air Command, etc.

Thanks for the reply.
Is KitKat so much better than 4.3 that it's worth giving up all the custom add-ons (such as from Note 3 & S5) that are in the 4.3 ROMs like like SkyNote or DN3?

It's not that's it's so much better. It's improved to make the phone perform better. If you want a 4.4.2 from DN3 then»»»»»
GoHERE if you want those features. I'm using it with zero issues atm.
The link is under downloads section.. And on the Eteam website the Rom Dl is at the bottom enjoy...

There is no base code for 4.4.2 for the AT&T Note 2 yet. Since AT&T has not released the update yet. This means that both of these ROMs are built of the international build (N7105 I believe), so there are some bugs, and the kernels might not be perfect. It you want new features and a smoother faster experience i have used both and with the proper tweaking they are running great, but if you aren't comfortable with fixing issues and just want a stable daily driver without any hassle i would stick to stock or 4.3 ROMs.
If you don't use the Samsung/Touch wiz features on your phone and are itching to try something new there are a bunch of really good stable 4.4.2 AOSP ROMs out there.

Its nice for a bit to play with but the more you use it the more you miss what you had with 4.3 mods like I said I flashed back to stock to get the ota when (if) it comes out lol

Jedi, Slimfast, Beanstalk, DN3V5.2, ezkat?
I don't know how many of you have been trying all of the ROMs.
I have been trying on all of them including DN3V5 and ezkat.
One of things that I'm sure of that Jedi x20 works all the time. That is a reliable ROM for sgh-i317.
DN3V5 and ezkat come next. They are full of features with one single problem that I keep erasing these ROMs. Their data connection through gsm or other modes keep dropping. I have not been able to solve that problems yet. If I do, DN3V5 would come on the top.
For those of you who have S4, Beanstalk is a superior ROM. That's my opinion. I give my opinion on practical matter. If it works, it is good. Otherwise, it may be marginal or not good.
exkat gave me some headache at the beginning until I got it to work. One needs a little bit of work to make it work. Well, I would say the same to DN3V5.
Finally, I have not given up on DN3V5 and ezkat yet. There must be a solution somewhere. There must be.
