I would like to get help from you guys to point a right direction.
I am Looking for the most stable and trouble less ROM or Mod to root my Note 2
Many many thanks!

If you don't want trouble with apps not working, force closes, and want your samsung s-pen apps to work stick with stock roms. i've had 4.1.2 stock uploaded by teshxx and the thing is smoother than smooth with battery life much better than 4.1.1. I've had the phone since t-mo launch date so I can definitely notice the increase.
You don't have to wipe data either. Just go to recovery and wipe dalvic / cache and you're good to go. Good luck.

These 4.1.2 roms have great battery life

Personally, the only reason I would get a custom rom other than samsungs is for the ICS software buttons. Unfortunately, non of them have that option, even the Cyanogen roms. Yes I know we can modify a simple file in the note 2 and I have dont that before but it totally messes up the layout.

congrats!~ I honestly thought you were going to need some help with that other installation stuff as well ^___^

i've been using the jellybeer rom that works for TMO in the AT&T forum and i really love it.
Boodies: it has your software buttons.
Only cons of this rom is the loss of multiwindow but that's small for me compared to what i gain. Flash what works for you.

I am HUGE fan of the Jedi Master series, it's worth a try if your just looking for something that everything works on that is NOT pure stock.

I've had nothing but issues with the Jedi roms jedi master has echo problem maybe fixed now as I have not used that in sometime. Jedi X data drops. Tweaked is by far the best as its 100 percent fully customizable!!! S4 Themed is also another good one! Those 2 are the best if your looking for a T Mobile based rom.

I'm new to the Note 2 scene....I wanted to put cyanogenmod on my Note 2 but I don't want to deal the force closures and bugs ether. I'm confused...why would some flash their note 2 with a stock rom if it's not going to have the features of cyanogenmod such as the DSP aadvaudio settings, custom brightness levels, and advanced configurations on the slide down bar?

Sprint LG G2 no love?

So Ive never had a device (even on sprint) that has no development to be seen within a weeks period of time. I believe the Root we have is from other devices and the CM 10.2 build that was posted was something that was supposed have never seen the light of day and was broken. I totally love this phone but I was really excited for the development aspects since its basically nexus 5 with a different shell. Anyone else with the sprint variant a little worried by the lack of interest?

I'm on the same boat, many probably are.
This phone is still solid stock.. all I really need is tethering... patiently waiting

Those other carrier variants have been out way longer than ours. We've only had ours for 1 week now. Give it a bit more time?

Development is under way. There are 2 devs working on a CM 10.2 ROM right now and another working on a version of CleanROM for us. Its going to take some time and the phone hasn't been out for a week yet.
Also the CM 10.2 ROM was removed because the build was not tested and verified by the dev to be working and they removed the links to it in case it caused a potential brick to the phone. People who downloaded the ROM say it had GPS lock and rotation issues so you don't want to download the ROM anyways. In fact they saved you the hassle of reverting back to stock or a nandroid backup. Read the last few posts in that CM 10.2 thread to get a sense of the situation.
I am not worried at all about the "lack of interest" in this phone. You have to remember that not all the potential devs have received the phone yet such as garwynn who probably just received the phone today. Lets give the potential devs some time to come out with new ROMs and other mods. There are enough ways currently to mod the current stock ROM anyways through Xposed and other mods like (increase volume).

Its only been a week. Our device was rootable even before Sprint released it. I'm not worried. For now I've been using Greenify + Titanium Backup to keep my phone in battery/performance BEAST MODE.

Install G2 xposed and you'll see you can do a lot of the customization yourself. There's also an xposed kitkat theme in the theme's section by ock. The device is already fast and ignoring aosp roms, you can customize the stock rom to your liking.

I guess I didn't think about the fact that the other variants had been out for a few months already, but I really wasn't trying to comparing them. I was just noticing that compared to devices I've had in the past (even the SGS II which I hated lol) had some things pop up pretty quickly. Also make sure that no one takes this as me complaining, just thinking out loud here.
And as to the xposed stuff, Im atually just interested in some slimed down stock roms and AOSP, but thanks for making sure I knew about it
PS: Ive also had this phone for close to a month so Im probably feeling that rom flash bug harder than most XD

Hey ite only been out 4 a week man

So far I've rooted, download rom, installed twrp, tried flashing it but it booted stuck on carbon logo. It may be because I don't have the gapps file.

New note 2 help

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.

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...
SENT FROM MY SAMMY i317 USING TAPATALK

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

I Believe I saw a 4.4 touchwiz rom for the n7105 somewhere. Maybe it was just some crap someone threw up, If I come across it again I'll send you a link!

[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.

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.

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.
