Just settled down on a ROM and setup for my S3 and now I'm moving on to my Note 8. Rooted and got Philz's Touch Recovery 6 on it.
I'm looking for a good stable 4.4.2 ROM for it. I know not all of the available ones show up here on XDA so I'm shouting out for suggestions. All I can find so far are weekly/nightly releases and I'd rather start off with one deemed "stable" if it can be helped.
I have tried out the last SlimKat weekly, and I'm messing around with CyanogenMod 11 too. I'd rather not stick with CM but I think I might've just had a bad experience with it from the S3 (Iffy camera functionality and a few other things that brought me to another ROM).
Has anyone tried any 4.4.2 ROMs, or know of any good/up-and-coming 4.4.2 ROMs for the Note 8.0 that are worth it? I have the n5110.

You can have a look to Civato's ROM. It's based on Samsung Stock Rom, then should be pretty stable.

The stock one is excellent.

Thanks! I'll look into that one. I am a little weary of Knox, and I'm not a fan of Samsung's email client with corporate accounts but this looks promising.

No DN3 v5 hasn't got any bootloop. It doesn't require S5 Mods Pack. It has already a lot of from S5. If you want a lot S5 app you should use this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690997
or use this pack :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704873
I think you flashed DN3 v4's S5 Mod Pack and you get bootloops. Because this pack isn't compatible with DN3 v5.
And I am using Emotion Revolution 6.0
I can say it has very good features but its apks are very outdate. I can't understand ROM Makers why they don't update apks in ROM. For example Xposed's latest version 2.6.1 but in ROM version 2.6, App Setting's latest version is 1.9 but in ROM 1.7.1 etc. I think it is important.
Also there are a lot of extra bloatwares which is not stock app for example Android Music Player. I am using different music players and I don't want this in my ROM but unfortunately they included it.
And I have a bug. I switched on Private Mode in Settings but it doesn't switch off.

yep,you are correct ,i flashed s5 mods v1.5 with DN3 v5 and got bootloops...actually i quite liked some s5 features..so my fault here
regarding the apks being outdated...i think we can make them user apps in titanuim backup application so to update them...or else completely remove from system/apps and install as normal apk..so updating them would be just as easy as normal apps
and how did you turned on private mode...this rom is deknoxed and private mode need knox components to work

Maybe this question should be here, if so any moderator please move it where it belongs.
Is there any ROM that has Lollipop + TouchWiz?
I'd love to install lollipop in my note 2 but i have the problem of having a galaxy gear 2. Although gear manager for lollipop is available in the samsung Apps store, and i can edit the build.prop to download it, the gear manager still needs TW to function properly.
Is there any way to get android 5.0.x with touchwiz (Maybe it doesn't need to be active, just the files for the gear to work? ).

I can tell you that at the moment there are no TW android L ROMs, you need to wait more as samsung relase it for some phone and some dev port it or samsung relase it for n2. Unfortunately thats all i know. Good luck

I use a note 2. Currently on DN4v2 and love it too.. but would love to see development of this rom for the note 2. AOSP/OMNI/SLIM are all great roms but when it comes to stylus functions which i use for office works to take quick notes etc etc, these cynogenmod based roms lack the stylus function completely rendering 1/4th of the note series main function useless.
I have tried AOSB (my personal favrit) and Resurrection remix lollipop- (the best lollipop rom out there) and very stable too but because of loss of pen functions i had to revert back to a touchwiz rom. current best touchwiz rom is DN4 for note 2. can some one start working on this?? we will support u.:laugh::good::silly:

In AOSP Lollipop ROMs such as Resurredtion Remix,Nameless and other CM12 based ROMs Stylus pen works with the help of free apks C Spen Addon,Note Buddy,Memo and Papyrus from Playstore.I am using them from day1.
I wish to install lollypop on note 2 as soon as possible. Now I'm on DN4 v2.1. For me is the best rom for my phablet

fully aware my friend.. they require scipts to be excuted...3 to 4 apps to be installed to call back apps and activate them...and not to mention the high battery drain using those apps. I cant beleive that despite so many open source roms being made, no one makes spen functions possible with rom or even as an extra flashable zip. but thanks though:laugh:
Yeah, that could be like a couple of months or so. Now there are stock roms for the S5 that pack touchwith. Also the gear manager has been updated to work with android L sadly it requires yet the touchwith to work.
Could be possible now to pack any aosp/cm roms that could bring the functionality of Tw, even if is only for the Samsung apps to work?
Touchwiz lollipop Rom

Define smoothly…
1. Make a backup.
2. DL the rom and try it out.
3a. Revert back.
3b. Stay with the new rom.
Follow this guide and you will get the answer you seek.
Any luck soon???

Hi, I'm new here and want to install a custom ROM on my S4 Mini.
Please let me know which ROM is most reliable, stable, and error free?
Thank you,
In my opinion best stable Rom is cyanogenmod 10.2.1.3
But I hate status bar on this Rom

sooner or later you will be bored with vm and use ploiki's S5 rom... Thats the best so far ... for me 4days without charging. Ultra power saving mode etc
I installed CM11 M12.
I like it a lot but noticed many minor issues which I won't discuss here, but 1 major issue I want to mention.
It's the inability to move apps to external SD. I tried Link2SD, Folder something, both not satisfactory.
But over all I'm happy with it.
Thanks for all advices guys.
You can try my S5 ROM for S4 Mini i9192. It's very stable.

i tested all the available roms for I9192, but so far i find the PAC MAN ROM the best one. I did not notice any bug at all. smooth, stable, n fast better than carbon rom(my opinion). I also tested cm12 based roms but only thing i liked about its fluid thats it. I didnt like lollipop notifications, qs tiles. and also its too bright and many things still dont work.

As for stock, u can try deodexed stock rom by @ladislav.heller
Above rom can also be used as base for modding and themes as it is deodexed.
I am coming from the Note 2 and on that phone I used RWilcos Mostly Stock ROM which is basically just the stock ROM with small tweaks, root, bloatware removed etc.
It did not have any bugs that effected the functionality which I've seen with other ROMs (CM etc).
Does anyone have a recommendation for a 100% functional stable ROM almost that won't remove all the great Note features but still have the added features and performance, battery life , root etc of the custom ROMs?
Thanks for any help.

First of all, is the phone new and already updated to stock 5.1.1?
If so you have a locked bootloader (but still have options) .
If you have 5.0.1 or older version your in luck.

Best of the best by @tx_dbs_tx.
CM and ports require more attention whether it be developer, user or both.
Stock-like TW narrows it down for you. IMO, the two most active and capable developers in TW for Sprint Note 4 are tx_dbs_tx and freeza. They both have released very stock and also modified ROMs. Then there's OBAR that got a lot testing and users as well to make sure the bugs were squashed; still has support and also user community support.
If you don't want to get into kernel tweaking but want something with default and optimization out of the box- better than stock, consider freeza's Beastmode kernel or the newer Rage kernel that is integrated in Note 4our ROM (Don't be put off by the beta; it's stable but more customization is expected). Otherwise, take your pick and run the included kernel or choose another custom Android 5.1.1 kernel like AEL or Emotion for Sprint Note 4.
Personally, I prefer freeza's kernel. I've posted some battery stats in freeza's Beastmode kernel and Note 4our ROM threads.
I couldn't narrow it any further than this. You'd have to decide yourself or try as many as you like to make a definitive decision. Lots of choices and opinions vary; that's a good thing.

Which one of freeza's kernels gives better battery? Have you compared them to AEL? I'm using AEL 6.2,and while it has decent battery, it lags a bit.

IMO, they're equal on battery.
Rage may be slightly better on multitasking but there's extra scripts in play with the integrated ROM.
No lag but I've ran freeza kernels since Beastmode because they're close to stock with no setup to tweak.
Prior to that, I preferred stock kernel but thanks to Samsung, can't run it with root anymore. No recent compare to AEL or Emotion.
