Stock 4.3 Rooted - Best Kernel For Speed/Battery Life - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys!
I'm currently running stock 4.3 that has been rooted. I'm looking for a Kernel to flash that will eliminate some of the lag and not completely destroy the Note II's battery life. I appreciate any and all recommendations.

Honestly, you're going to have to try them and see how your phone reacts. Some people's phone just go ape sh*t using Devils kernel, some take it well.
Nobody's phone is the same, yet everyone expects them to act the same. No one has the exact same apps, same kernel, same bootloader, etc etc. Yet, they come unglued when something does not work.
At this moment in time I am running [ROM][4.3][Dec-2013] AT&T I317-UCUBMK6/MJ4 *Stock* Rooted Odex/De-Odex/Odin. With my apps and a couple of other build.props tweaks.
This came out recently (Devil2-2.3.2 t0lte dual. 20140102) so I'm trying it now.
I think Agni pureSTOCK is at v3.9.3. It's under Version Note II but I thought I read it works for ATT NOTE II also. Which I assume you have since that's where you posted the question.
I'm going to test that also. It takes a couple of days for the phone to settle in, so it would be unfair to flash a kernel and expect miracles. So a good practice is have the stock as backup to flash it the custom kernel barfs.

Hey! I really appreciate you trying to help me with this. I'm sure others will appreciate it as well. By chance do you have a link to the AGNi kernel that works with the AT&T note 2? From what I have read, that may be the way to go.

Thanks for your assistance with this, sir. I really appreciate it. I think I'll pursue the AGNi kernel but I'm finding it difficult to locate the exact one for the i317. Do you happen to know which one will fit the bill?

[Q] What kernel for my SGS3?

Ok so Im a little new to this hole rooting and flashing stuff and I've been reading around that the Ktoonsez KT747 Kernel has amazing battery life, even if you OC. So with this being said, im currently running SlimBean 2.7 but it doesn't say anywhere if it will support this kernel. Also can't find on Ktoonsez thread either. Maybe its me im blind when it comes to finding stuff. Thanks for help! If its necessary, I wouldnt mind flashing the CM10 M2.

Well i just loaded the jellybean 10.9.2012 and it wouldn't boot like it should so ima try a different one if i can get it to boot
[FIXED] I flashed the wrong one i did the one said above instead of the one that had the att in the name of the kernel, so its flashed and booted so i will get back with you to tell you how it goes.
[WORKS] It works like a charm thanks for all of the help.
Try this kernel http://goo.im/devs/imoseyon/d2att/lk_aosp_jb_tmo-v1.4.zip
It's imoseyons kernel. He is an amazing dev. I only use this. I have used ktoonez idk why I don't use it all the time. It says this kernel is for tmo the but trust me it works the same. He is a modified version of interactive designed for the s3. I get EXTREMELY great battery life. Go over to original dev thread over in the tmobile thread and look for lean kernel.
Use the kernel I included only if your on a jelly Bean rom.
Transmitted from my GALAXYSIII running Jelly Bean. XDA premium
KT747 can be found HERE, in the Original Development forum. There are variants of the kernel that will work for several current versions of Android.

I'm also very interested in flashing new kernel but I know it uses updated BT and WiFi drivers. Is there a link to the OEM drivers somewhere? I'd rather have them before I flash the kernel just in case.

Stock AT&T Kernel - includes root and the default BT and WIFI drivers....just in case . Alternatively, you can simply backup the /system/lib/modules folder which contains these drivers.

New to the club

So I am going to be leaving the HTC Sensation 4G, and considering the GS4 is going to be pretty much like the GS3 (and GS3 are getting GS4 updates) I went ahead and ordered mine just now! Should be shipping sometime this week!
So.. I was running CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean Kang on my Sensation, I am currently browsing all the Roms available now, what do you all suggest which Rom would be awesome and why? I am all about Battery and Multitasking.
It really depends mate. Thing is if I had wanted vanilla android or aokp I would've bought the nexus device but I chose S3 because of all the extra TouchWiz features as well. I'm running latest version of MIUI and it works perfectly but I know sooner or later I'll go back to using stock based rom. I would suggest sticking with Sammy based roms from the likes of Omega roms and Android Revolution HD, especially if you want some of the features from the S4.
Also reason I suggest the 2 roms above is because they are constantly updated and have active support from the community.

Alright cool cool, would be nice if I had someone to help me root it also once I receive the phone.
edit looked up rooting methods they are MAD EASY WOW!
TW is overrated and looks like a ridiculous cartoon IMO, and all the S-whatever features are just gimmicks right now, though some people love it.
If you loved CM 10.1, its on our phones only official right now the nightlies are a little unstable since the upgrade to the 3.4 Linux kernel but they are working the bugs out. 10.1 M2 will be most stable. No learning curve that way
Battery life is unbelievable with Ktoonsez kernel. 3/14 version works with M2. Take a look at the thread, its got some good info on the governor, I/O scheduler, undervolt, and other settings.
And with our phones, the 2GB ram and fast CPU, its no problem for multitasking. I even ran my phone at 1.02Ghz and it still responded just fine with all sorts of stuff open.
I agree I dislike Touch Wiz I loved CyanogenMod since his G1 days lol, so I think I may take a look at that. Although This Smooth Liquid looks pretty interesting.
I like the PAC-Man ROM and using the Ktoonsez kernel he released today.
Look into sons of android ROM too. Insane battery life.

Once I get my device it's between PAC-Man or Liquid Smooth, if those two aren't good then CM or a stable MIUI (if there is one available for this phone)

Otterbox always good. Look in accessory thread they review and suggest everything in one thread. I use twrp... And flash through Odin.. Easiest for me and convenient
Oh and I found it much easier to root at 4.0,4. Also you can Odin flash using root 66 which come prerooted

I started with CWM, but after switching to TWRP I wouldn't go back.
I used the Root66 method to root the phone - and have used it show a friend how to root their phone and used it to return to stock rooted and get the latest update. Never had an issue, I think it's pretty easy.
I used Wicked for a bit and might go back - I am just a noob and have to work out some issues I had in transferring things over first.
Not sure about screen protectors - mine had one on it when I bought it on eBay and it was so good I've just left it. I just have a $3 TPU and silicone bumper on it and a skin - protects from scratches at least. I've dropped it once or twice with no issue, too.
Is the Root66 method for T-Mobile? I only see three rooting methods and those are by MrRobinson, Chainfire, and mskip here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
edit: ok so I looked i think it's the MrRobinson one, but how do I know which T-Mobile image to grab from the selected?

Third, alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.
If you would like to install TeamWin Recovery Project then grab GooManager from the Play store and select the option to "Install OpenRecovery Script".

Congrats on your phone. I well suggest any of the 4.1.1 root66 because it's jb... I prefer ja baseband because it works better in my area.
And like what the quote said if you want twrp download goo if cwr rim manager. Lol honestly simply going to the recivery website will tell you how to download. So far your research is on point. You can try both recovery and see which you prefer. Twrp may not be pretty but it's sick and far more friendly and with more option

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.

Good to know. I hadn't gotten in this forum until today. I decided to purchase the S6 because I could get it at a steal, and now is a great time to sell my S5, but I was having buyers remorse because of the lack of development.
I can't complain because I'm lazy and don't want to learn to do it myself.

Same!!
Took The Plunge
Installed Sac's ROM through Flashfire and found myself wondering why I waited. Got everything set up as I wanted without any problems. Do remember to flash the Ktoonsez kernel after the ROM.
I don't care about Samsung Pay and I doubt that I ever will, so I installed TWRP right after. This felt so good, I see other ROMs in my future especially since sac23 says an update is coming soon. I feel like it is my phone again.
I also may try out this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...ebloated-rom-samsuing-galaxy-s6-edge-t3126661
@JoeFCaputo113 you really should think about doing this.
Cheers.

@scott_0 did the same thing and all is running well for him too! What steps did you take exactly? Thanks for sharing buddy!
I should add this to my Rooting/Mods thread!

Using FlashFire (which I know that you have!):
Step 1: Choose Backup if you want. Then let that do its thing.
Step 2: After back, choose Wipe and accept defaults.
Step 3: Select the two zips, ROM and Kernel.
Step 4: Let her rip!
Different ROM, but this video helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJSP8XsET8o
IF YOU INSTALL TWRP:
For anyone that does (and I did) there is a fix for the deep sleep issue posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60383471&postcount=49

What is the best custom ROM for N900T?

Hi guys. I have bad network reception on my N900T after upgrade to 5.0 Lollipop. I didn't want to install custom roms but I decided to try some to see how will my phone work with custom rom. Some custom rom with all working options will be awesome to try. Ty in advance

First your going to have reception issues with majority of custom roms. But it is easy to fix most issues that can occur.
My faves in order for 5.* sm-n900t are
Pac-rom - very easy to customize and tweak. Also light and fast. It's built from the best parts from many different roms.
Dompop - cool to use lots of different mods and such. Haven't used the latest nightly but one from a month ago had issues with lte signal but was simple to fix.
Cm 12.1 - although not as good as cm10 or cm12 was, 12.1 is a great Rom that shows off the experience the developers have gain over the countless roms for countless devices they've done.
Reply back and I can do you a quick tut and direct links to files needed. Currently using twrp and pac-rom 5.1.2

AryaMod is an awesome ROM that works with the N900T. It's stable and fast with tons of features (OTA updates, Aroma Installer, etc.) and development continues. The link is in my signature.

If you want to do official 5.0 the just use Odin and open up lollipop in it and flash. If any force closes the clear cache and stuff followed by reboot. If you going to kitkat I usually install tw lp clean then do the down grade since I find that note 3 will usually have issues any other way. Make sure you do backups of you modem and efs always in case of corruption.
Personally I just use full backups so I have all my apps logins and such on booting.

To be honest with you it was FC a lot and I couldn't get it to work right. I somehow erased my backup and needed a ROM to work "now" LOL so I gave Alliance 1.2.1 a shot and this puppy is sooooooooooo smooth fam! I haven't had an issue yet. I don't know if you'd tried it, its really nice and enough customizing to satisfy me so I stayed here.

Which Kernel are you using?
Which camera did you choose in Aroma - N4 or S6? I was thinking to pick the N4 because it might have better S-pen support, on the other hand maybe the S6 has more advanced features being of the newer software.
I was wondering if in general Samsung might be trending to lighter apps, less menu options, etc in the S6/N5.

I had stock official 5.0 on N900T. First I installed Norma S6 but a lot of bugs. I only do full wipe format from stock 5.0 to Norma s6 and then I have done same from Norma S6 to DarkLord N5. Kernel is DarkLord, thats I got when I installed DarkLord N5 RC.
