Shouldn't ask that here you won't get a answer there all good just start flashing and see

Thread closed,
Rom comparison threads are against forum rules. As stated above there is no best rom. Each rom works differently. Best thing to do us have a bit of fun and flash different Rom's, until you get one you like.

How? Can u explain some more? Our custom roms are just a few in our section, but here it's alot.
bump
First off bumping your thread is not allowed except every 24 hours.
Secondly no you cannot use our roms on your phone. What the poster above you was trying to say is you will need to create a port for your phone.
Here is a link to xda university to get you started

yeah you should check on the threads of custom roms and the opinions of the testers do a little research friend
Two mistakes my friend:
Your thread is in a guides section, not in q&a.
Also, there's a purpose for that search button, use it. Or use web view. You can find all roms with one click there.

[Q] What's the best custom Rom 4 Note 2 ?

hello,
I used the stock rom all the time I have this device,
however it looks like I have a problem and I need to full wipe;
AND I HATE START EVERYTHING FROM THE BEGINING !
So, can u suggest some good roms ?
And please I need u to tell me about full features and if u can some screenshot
thanks in a advance :good:​
So first there is no best ROM though.. but I'll give you some suggestions
If you want full S5-like ROM, DN3 is a great one. Though I get some lags a bit, maybe it's just my device.
If you want stock-like old note 2, omega ROM is great or ARHD. And they are so stable and fast!
One of the big NO NO's on XDA is creating duplicate topics that ask same questions that have already been asked/answered.
Another is asking "what is the best rom" because there is NO ANSWER because "best" is a subjective term and nobody can tell you what is "best" for you.
Best answer = Go and try some and stop been lazy.
Try all ROMs and YOU tell me which one is the best

Why should we screenshot when every ROM thread has screenshots in their OP(Original post).Give me your phone and I'll try few ROMS that I like and give it back to you with one ROM I enjoy the most but you need to sign a contract that you won't dare change that ROM or use stock rom.If you break this rule I will sue you in XDA court :cyclops:
okay,
why there's no thread that have all available Roms links?
that would be easier and we can search as well .
thanks for suggestion, and I willl see what I can do 4 this.
btw, this what I wrote :

Rooting, themes and more..

Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

I know no one here owes me an answer, just because you have a lot of posts does not allow you to make the rules around here. I contribute to these forums as well, I was just hoping for some friendly help.

1) I can do this through Odin correct?
2) Ok, what is the most popular rom?
3) Ok.
Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

Whihc is why we have so many duplicate topics because newbies do not bother to search/read and instead prefer to be spoon fed.

Then make a backup first. You probably wiped data via recovery or something.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.

Custom Rom feature testing

I have One Plus 3, I want to check about 10 roms.
I don't want to flash each rom on my device, is there any other way to see the exact rom features?
Screenshots are not good enough...
Can I install custom rom on some emulator?
The answer to all of your question is no. You cannot install a ROM to an emulator, and to see all the features you only need to try.
And one note, this is the wrong section to ask this, so before anyone rains you hatred for so, you may want to get this moved elsewhere

As already suggested, use multirom. You do have to download and flash on your device, but all roms are kept separate and you can test every feature directly.

I'm a bit afraid of multi rom - heard it's a bit dangerous (it can brick the phone).
Is anything shared between the roms (app data?)?

The roms have access to the contents of /sdcard. /system and /data are kept separate.
As for bricking, there is always the possibility. Fortunately, it's relatively easy to recover from both hard and soft bricks on the op3. Keep a backup of your important files just in case.
So far, any issues I've had on a rom have been specific to that rom - it's been convenient to be able to just boot into another working rom without a second thought.
