Alright, I am not saying that its bad. I have been flashing custom roms for last 3-4 yrs now but on my prevous phone it made sense since it was stuck on Gingerbread. The custom roms gave me 4.2.2 which was hell of a jump. But with note 2 .. all the custom features that are built in stock roms are pretty much gone with flashing custom roms. I see these as going backwards. The spen functionality is completely gone. Yes, you can install some custom apps but they dont have the same features as the stock. Also the sensor features, built in browser, multi window .. all are gone. I have been using paranoid 3.1 for about 2 months now and didnt really see any difference.. other than the tablet mode which is neat but nothing useful per se. pie controls were hard to use, and pretty buggy. Would disappear every now n then. Its fancy but not practical.
So now my question is.. whats are some of the key features that you are missing in stock and you get in custom that you are willing to let go of some useful features in stock? I am definitely missing something here and would like to learn from you..
I am thinking of going back to stock and rooting it ..

Sounds like you meant to ask why flash a AOSP rom not just a "custom rom" because most tw roms still have all the functionality you are saying is lost. To answer your question that is the great thing about Android. ..choice you have the choice to install it or not.

You can tell very easily first off by the screenshots aosp and tw do not look the same. Secondly with aosp you have to flash gapps. Third they are in two seperate forums. That is just a few of the many ways you can tell.

If you see mention of a firmware revision like ma7 or LJC, then you're dealing with a Twiz rom.
However with AOSP roms... The spen does work in its basic capability.

AAahhhh,... moment of revelation.:angel::angel:. I was always in the original dev thread... this is a new addition i assume in the last 6-8 months? On my previous phone threads.. there was no original/non original. Anyways.. let me **** around the touchwiz thread and see what I find. I might be just a fool for not noticing that. Thanks!

It has been like this as long as I know even when I had the S3 but I can't speak of anything prior to the S3 on Samsung.

It changed about march or so last year. Not all devices have both forums either, only the really popular ones/non legacy

Because Paranoid Android & Tablet Mod are the best thing to happen to this Note! Also because "Whoomp" Rom is based on stock but much better because it gives you options. However I do understand your criticism, whats different this time is "Touch Jizz" doesn't suck as bad as previous versions and its actually becoming a bit of a highlight with its built in features.
However we will always want to flash roms because like beautiful women "there's always someone tired of F_____g them"! Something new even if isn't superior!:good:

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Good luck to u.. Happy flashing and enjoy your new favorite phone!!!

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!

I have been unable to find a mod or a rom with call recording for the GS3 in T-Mobile. I have seen it available for Verizon only. Secondly i have tried Apps for this and the one i tried said my phone did not support up-link or down-link recording only Mic recording which required using speaker phone and well it didnt work for me.
So if thier is a mod or if you know of a rom that has this i would love to know i have searched yes and I fount nothing specific enough so as it should be my last resort is to ask everyone if they know.
So in Short I am looking for
A flash able mod
A Rom
or
An Application
That lets me record calls.
Also my Sig may not yet be updated i am running Hyperdrive ROM RLS14 with stock kernel.
Last but most of all Thank you for your help and for any devs reading this THANK YOU for your HARD work so others can enjoy it. I certainly do and it is Greatly appropriated. (is my nose brown? j/k)

The deTmobilized ROM has call recording built into it, you might try that one. :good:
We had this on several ICS builds. I'm sure it can be done, just someone has to try it. It's gonna be out of my league I already know!
As for apps, look into ?skvalex? Call recorder. He has a thread here on xda and several ways of implementing it. I believe it should work on our s3.

First sorry for posting in the wrong section.
Lastly Thank you for your reply's, the deTmobileized Rom was what got me interested as yes i used it with ICS and it worked flawlessly running wicked rom.
I loaded up deTmobileized Rom and i had several problems, i could not multi window to work properly I probably gave up on it too soon as my problem with the multi window was that it would not let me add newly installed apps to the menu. For me that sucked.)
I think ill make a backup of my current setup and flash it and see if i can get multi window to work the way i want.
Cheers

Its possible the all app enabled MW wasn't installed. I'm not aware if its an Aroma option but you can check the mega mods thread for the all-apps enable MW. Its in the Applications and Mods forum.

I have installed the detmobileized rom as they say on the op that it supports call recording. I have yet to figure out if this is available with the rom natively or it just includes the patched phone apk libs (whis afaik is what is needed and basically needs to be in a rom or someone needs to make something flash-able AFAIK) I am thinking if the exposed module tweak box works ill try it out. I used it before and the CRT effects work so i hope the call recording works.
If the exposed module works i may switch roms the other rom i was liking at the moment is hyperdrive but i don't like the whole phone rotation (just something that bothers me unless its an app for some reason) and cant figure it out i can stop all rotation or enable all but i haven't gotten the right set of settings to just disable launcher and phone rotation.
So i am learning AFAIK detmobilized does not have the xposed framework natively installed (hyper-drive does) I need to check out and see how to get this working ASAP
As i wait for a possible reply from this post that would make me ecstatic. I believe i am going to first make a nandroid of the DeTmobilized rom (i just did a SD card wipe my phone needed it from so many rom changes) and then i will install hyperdrive and just install the tweakbox module and hope for the best (trying hyperdrive as DeTmobilized is kinda old at 2 months versus several days, although thats not a measure of quality Hyperdrive has all apps multi window already installed as i have yet to flash that.
Anyway im going to try stuff out I hope the Xposed method (sounds easiest) works on both roms in case it works on one better than the other.
Any other rom suggestions are welcome i dont have the time to flash everything although i prefer stick based roms as they usually have everything i want many i can even theme AOSP if i wish but they tend to be easier to work with more functions and they ususally all work. Also currently due to the GS4 and nexus app ports using AOSP based roms just make me lose any touchwiz options
Sorry for bloated post.
Thank for all your help I appreciate it.
A little background on why i need it currently. (unrelated to topic read if bored or if you know about housing foreclosure when it comes to tenants)
Code:
Basically life lol, Ill share it with you lol.
I basically rented a house for the last couple years and recently found out my landlord has not been paying the mortgage.
(other people say she has a drug problem and she has the mannerisms and talks like someone using speed type drugs)
at the beginning of this month we got a notice tacked on our front door
and it almost covered the door so many pages saying she has not paid blah blah blah.
the house is up for auction on the 28th (5 days from now),
I have a lease and the new owners have 2 options one, compy with the lease until it ends or if they decide on moving in we get 90 days
(Obama changed the 30 day to 90days thank god for me sorry for those with terrible tenants)
In all she says things that don't make sense and tends to deny ever saying it
(she may not remember for real)
So for my possible legal matters i need simultaneous recording of me and the other party.
I used Total recall and just did not know how to set it up and was able to get uplink recoding (just me talking)
(i know the legality of recording convos in my state county i have spoken to a lawyer on this issue)
Last thing that erks me about this lady is knowing she was not making payments she rented her other property
(not adjoining but behind my house)
to a single father who has a boy with leukemia She knew this from lease negotiations.
(idk how long he has or what his life expectancy was but as a youngster a friend of mine died at 21 from leukemia)
so it bothers me she would do that to someone.
not only that but she told him nothing and he had been making repairs

Rant Over
Call recording is an option in the mods of aroma installer
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Looks like Project Goosh had xposed built in.
Z999 I think has it natively.
Personally I prefer the native kind (at least when I used it on ICS). No extra frameworks, and more importantly Samsung had actually built this in, but it was disabled because it was too many places have all different laws regarding its use.
I imagine its the same in JB.

Well Z99 works fine natively but is lackluster in a rom a want. I remembered hyper drive has xposed installed in the rom so i installed the call recording module (not tweak-box) i think they would work the same but i have no need for other options i simple installed the module and boom enabled the call recording no problem once call connects record button appears and saves recorded calls to sounds folder easy peasy (i spent more time messing around than i had too) I had trouble trying goosh then adding xposed as the record module did not work in all I am pleased all i had to do was simply add the xposed module. (too bad more roms don't just come with it just to make it easy but being a dev is not easy so i understand esp if it was that easy for me to fix) It would have been a lot more work tweaking z999 than adding a single module to hyperdrive. For me Deviant Dev puts out some nice roms. Goosh has some great potential if they add the xposed framework installer and use an aroma installer. Other than that i am happy and i thank you all for your help!
Jedi Master 16 or Tweaked 2.4? Why?

I had to delete the words I want to tell you like 3 times...
What are you talking about? How can you be so disrespectful?
I Have the tweaked 2.1 version now and I'm not satisfied, I want to know before leaving it hearing from others experiences...

Just flash it and find out. Someone may sing praises about one rom but your experience may be different. Then there is personal taste. Something only you can attest to. Just give it a whirl. I was never a huge fan of jedi. Great work, just not for me. You might feel different though.

No disrespect to the OP - but threads like these tend to be dangerous and often times lead to work for the moderators when things get out of hand. This doesn't always happen, but if I were a betting man and knew nothing more than the first post my money would be on it being trouble.
The reasons for this are what EVO-lution of Man stated - especially between those two it's a matter of personal taste (in other words both are fully functioning daily-driver type material in terms of the basic phone functionality and what not). When people start stating opinions, those opinions can be challenged, then a felt need for defending those opinions takes over and things get messy - usually anyway. It's all about what works best for you, and the only way to really know is to try and see.
That being said - if there is something in particular you are unsatisfied with in the current setup another option would be contacting those responsible for it (hi ) and see if anything can be done.

I didn't mean unsatisfied, I wrote it because I was mad with that guy at the beginning, anyways.. It is not that, what I was trying to say is that I see that jedi has more features, more new things. At least that's my impression, I might be wrong, any ways... I'm installing the tweaked 2.4 version now because it is the one I've always used.
I want to format my phone and now I have to figure out how to install it with the new system, it would be easier with a simple installer (I'm suggesting ).
By the way, I have an extra camera, how can I delete the new one? I'm good with the old one . (I'm saying the app u use to take pics)
Oh, I forgot, I'm not demanding, this is free! and it's your work, and I'm great full to you for the time invested thanks
All right end of the post, it was a stupid idea.

No worries. You very well might be right on the feature bit - Jedi definitely has features included that are not in tweaked (his kernel work, xposed framework, etc.), but there are likely a few the other way as well - as it should be as it would be a bit redundant if they were too similar That's not to say some of the features are exclusive to one or the other (using the above examples, ptmr posts his kernel separately and xposed is also something that can be installed separately) - just prepackaged.
I'm not sure whether either of these roms lack much in personalization, but I'll take the hit on the installer bit. I still like the idea, but it's a little different and that's not for everyone. That being said I redid much of the OP for 2.4 in order to address this, so hopefully the install process is a bit simpler looking now. And thanks to Alexea - there are a few more theme options around. I am in no way a themer, so one weakness on the tweaked side is definitely my reliance on others to take up the task and share their work. This does not seem to be a weakness on the Jedi side.
I take it you installed the aosp camera? That's the only way I could see you having two at least - if you want to get rid of the aosp one you can use the modificatinator. If you want to get rid of the samsung one you'll want to delete/freeze SamsungCamera.apk in /system/app.
Feel free to PM me if you have any other thoughts/questions/etc. - and I still think you should at least try Jedi. Personally I rather enjoy flashing things to try them out and see what they are like - and you very well may like it enough to stick with it. Of those who run stock modified roms, I think most use Jedi so it's definitely worth a look.

A little to. Go to settings, tsmparts. Any feature you could possibly imagine is there. Tweaked is close to AOKP with all the options

Well I tried tweaked 2.4 for a day and it was OK but I did not really get into it. Was going away on trip and needed something solid that I have used before. So I loaded Jedi master 16 and had so many issue with memory swap. Lost all. Oh well. Just look at last few pages of each and u can see what if any issues are in the rom. Now I gonna try tweaked but need to get hold of chef as to changing my kernel cause it did not do deep sleep at all. Maybe I missed something but need to try a diff kernel.

Not sure if we ever wanted to stay on topic, but since we are diverting...
Sorry to hear tweaked didn't strike your fancy - what kernel did you pick? Safest bet is go with stock - not the sexy choice I know but it won't do you wrong in terms of stability.

+1 Im very happy with stock kernel running 2.4 Ive always seem to have very minor issues with the "sexy" choice....
I've been running the jedi roms since I've got my note and just switched to tweaked in the last few days. I really like them both a lot but I'm definitely liking tweaked a little more. The whole star wars thing was getting a little old for my taste but it was still a great rom. It's all gonna come down to personal preferences and that's about all there is to it.

I believe I did go with stock. I went from a full charge to 20% in about 10 hrs. Just need more battery life.

Oh wow - well the more telling stat on that one would be the screen on time. That's a pretty harsh drop if you weren't using your phone, but if the screen was on for half that time then it's much less surprising. Assuming it was off more than on, there have been a few google apps (mostly maps I think) that have been reported to cause some wake lock issues which could be at the root of it - this would be much more the case if the phone was not deep sleeping (except if you enabled the zerowakelag bit).

I gonna try it again with stock kernel and give it a few days and see from that point.
Tweaked is killing it for me
dwitherell never mind bro... I installed the last version of Tweaked and it's running perfect, oh now that I remember, there is something I'd like you to try to fix if you can. When you hack the volume and you make a call, the other person can hear his voice twice, like an echo. And the volume hack is very important.
Respect to the installer, I did the standard when it first came out on 2.1 I think, and I didn't like it that way (but it was not hard at all... my sister could do it and she has 14), then for the 2.4 I used the simple version of the installer and I liked it. So, forget what I said about the installer. Besides... you can modify everything later.
Oh... this was my question at the beginning, if I delete the AOSP camera, I will delete the gallery as well, and I really like the app for the gallery (I don't use the stock one). Is there any way I can delete only the camera?
So... 2 things:
Camera and volume hack
That's it, and they are not even issues, they work great. Thanks for everything :good:

No worries
I've heard the echo bit regarding the volume hack. I'll have to add that to the list of things to revisit to see if I can chase down what edit in particular is causing the issue. Yay trial and error
Unfortunately w/ the aosp camera/gallery - they are both contained within one single apk. Unless there is a sort of fanciness out there I am not aware of (a real possibility granted) I don't think you can have one without the other. I'm not sure if they come up as separate entities in something like titanium backup - but if they do perhaps you could freeze the camera part and see what happens w/ the gallery end? Just a thought

Okay, so I've had i317 for about 4 months now, its a great phone. I would just love to see an ics 4.0.4 rom, be it stock or aosp,, aokp, etc for this device. The reason being is that there are alot of apps I used to use, such as UMA and a few others I cannot remember as of right now. Forgive me if this isn't the correct area to post the question lol. But can anyone possibly help me with my issue I'm having? A. ort or something would be ideal if possible.
On a side note: I have some prior knowledge with developing roms and getting them to work fully and such, like betas alphas and what not. just haven't gave much thought as to post on the forum untill now. So I'm not completely of the noob calibur so to speak.
Lastly, my final question, would anyone be interested in deving up a 100% pure custom 4.3 rom that is completely Pokemon themed right down to the contacts and dialer. I will include more detail upon request, also one that isn't 10.1 based or cm in general. The reason I say non cm based is because volume+ sound boost breaks the speaker and crackles pretty badly, and i am partialy deaf so the apk is much needed. Any help would be be very appreciated and id be eternally greatful.

It's not going to happen. The note 2 was shipped with 4.1.1 (or higher) so there is no 4.0 source for devs to work with.
Also, since pretty much every AOSP rom uses the CM Theme Manager, it's not that common to see themed roms (there are exceptions, but they tend to be lightly themed). Either find a CM theme to your liking or learn to theme your rom.
Sorry my friend...
You aren't the only one wanting it...
I'd even take a nice CM6 ROM for this device...
But as mentioned... It's just a dream... g

Okay, well shoot. Could you at least tell me that the possibility to get an apk to adapt and work on a newer rom is possible? I ask this because the main reason for me asking a dream question is simply that I love the ultimate mobile armor apk. it is the best privacy apk ever thought of. It was removed for reasons unknown. Back when I had my S3 and I717, it worked on both. Sadly it will not stick on the rooms I run currently. (Cleanrom 5.0, lionrom 2.1, etc.) Could the scripts and such be altered somehow for it to be compatible? On the S3 I always ran cm10 and its stick. Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions that are helpful and or leading to an apk exactly similar to ultimate mobile armour would be greatly appreciated.

Apk alteration is very possible ...
The trick is finding a dev to work it out ...and since apps are owned by their respective creators ...you would need permission from him/her to use or modify the code...
And I've always said it ...
A few emails and pm's go a long way..
Hit up the dev and see what you can learn ...g

Ive looked and searched and I've found nothing from the devs of this apk. Its been completely stricken from the web. What are my other options here as far as these apk Modding concerns go? I've found nothing for secure mobile sadly.
I see...
That being said ...it appears the app has been killed off for legal reasons ??
And lookout mobile is inferior how ??
Most of these security apps are monitored via 3rd party in addition to device activity ...
So it stands to reason that if your service for the apk is dead....it won't work anyway..
Best advice...pick an alternate and move forward....
Lookout and AVG are both exceptional ...and many others are available ..
Norton or Mccaffe possibly too...
Happy hunting ...and sorry I couldn't be of more help...g
