[Q] Does CM11 worth it or should I stick to TW (what about Dual ROMs) - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I am using hybrid TW Rom called DN3 v5.5 and so far I am happy with it.
I only used 3 ROMs [Stock, Android Revolution HD, and DN3v5.5] since I’ve bought my note 2 when it first came out
DN3 has some issues with music and other miner bugs and I want to switch to a new and fresh interface and I think CM is the best choice for me
So my question is this:
1. Should I install the latest CM (and once DN3 update their ROM go back to using it again)
2. is Dual boot will do me any good ?? Because I’ve seen a thread saying that you can install dual Roms BUT one of them should be Stock 4.3 and not 4.4+ and the other is AOSP 4.4+
Please I need your advice friends and I would really appreciate your help

It is really a matter of your choice. If you like CM, definitely go for it.
Dual boot is certainly possible. My guess is devil kernel allows two partitions --primary and secondary to install two rom both Sammy and aosp roms. But it is fairly complicated process. Also your device will slow down considerably after some time.
So again choice is yours.

Installing SlimBean.

Hello All,
I am new to the SGN2 forum. I earlier had SGR.
Its been a fortnight that I have my SGN2 (n7100) with me now.
After trying so many roms on my SGR and feeling how awesome they are (sad SGR got stolen a month back) , I cannot see my SGN2 lying on the stock rom. I have started to hate the UI already
I need a non-Touchwiz rom that supports spen and makes me love the phone again.
I tried to read the SlimRom build 6 thread, but i dont know what all files are to be flashed. I got confused.
Can someone help me Install the slim rom? Plus does it support S-Pen? (If spen is not supported, any other non touchwiz Rom which supports spen?[/b[)
I am running the Indian DDDLK6 Stock Rom.

Hi,
As far as I know, Slim Bean does not support S-Pen.
Every TouchWiz based ROMs are S-Pen compatible though.
Where are you having trouble installing?

The gapps and other addons for build 6 slim rom. Which ones to download.?
I just want a non touch whiz rom.
@DeepankarS:
Just use the weekly 6.2 for n7100 and take the aio aroma 6.x.
Flash the main rom and then the aio. in the aroma installer u can choose exactly wich gapps / additional apps u want. Really user friendly and a unique feature in all Slimroms.
With SlimBean u can't go wrong IMO.
The features are overwhelming in a good way and the built in Kernel by Mnazim is a Masterpiece.
I tried for the last 5 monts nearly every AOSP rom and ATM SlimBean is for me the best in performance and battery. I can get around 2-3 days standby with up to 7 hours screen on. So in my usage nearly the same as a Touchwiz rom.
Happy flashing

I think you should be certain about what you say next time. Spen is supported by almost every non touchwiz Rom. It works perfectly along with pressure sensitivity of the tip and the hover icon which can be enabled under settings. The only thing that is not supported by non touchwiz roms are the Samsung applications such as snote and any other Samsung proprietary software that works with the Spen.
To the Op:
Flash the ROM first, restart the device then go back to recovery and flash the Aroma Installer. And you're good from there. If you would like to get rid of the slim rom icon on the unlock screen you should find the stock one in their theme section.

Note II Questions

Guys i just recently became a proud owner of a Galaxy note 2 AT&T edition and so far i love the phone.It's been unlocked and rooted with a cleanrom ACE 4.7.0 and i wanted to know have they released a proper app2sd patch for it?How to update cleanrom?And also is cleanrom the best rom for note2 because i've been having some lag issues in some of the softwares and was wondering would the stock rom be better?I know i'm talking like a noob but that's coz i am,I have no idea where to search for this stuff on this expansive forum so please help me
Well if you want to search, google is a good place to start.
AFAIK there isn't a app2sd patch for this device.
To update cr you just need to go to Scott's roms webpages and download the updated version, transfer to your sd card, boot in recovery and flash. Make sure to read the op in the thread for recommended wiping instructions.
As far as the "best" rom, it's all about personal preference. I prefer cr over all others because I want a stock experience with out the bloat and add some goodies. But you'll get a hundred different people saying that xyz rom is the best for abc reasons.
Lag can be caused by a number of things... It can be apps open or processes hanging. Usually a clean install of your rom will clear it up. If it persist than try another TW rom. If you still see it then try an AOSP or AOKP rom. It's all about finding what works best for you.

HELP!! How to restore original NOTE2 7100 ROM ???

Hello all,
I need help,
I flashed my origianl rom without backup using TWRP ...... i tried a 4.4.4 modified rom, cm11 and another lollipop modified rom
They are all giving problems, slower and overall worse than the original rom
could you please direct me to a tutorial to install the latest original note 2 rom please ?
I didnt change the kernel, it should be the old original one
phone is currently rooted (i used auto root)
And the bootloader/recovery is TWRP from TEAM WIN.
How do i go back to the latest original note 2 rom pelase ??? thank you very much in advance! :fingers-crossed::good:
edit:
going a bit off topic here but if anyone would know any of this 2 you d make me happy
1. what are the fastet lollipop custom ROMs? i like the interface but it tends to be slow ...
2. I miss the s Pen visual feedback dot on screen when i moved the pen nearby the screen in the original rom, do you know how to get that feature back please?
Didn't you do systembackup either with twrp? maybe you can get stockrom back that way.
maybe you can try cm12.1 it works ok for me (about 30% for me now)

Which Custom Rom should I download?

Hi, So I am looking for a custom ROM for my Note 2. Long story short the ROM I have is completely broken.
I am looking for android 4.4.4 KitKat, I dont want any malware or junk, and I want no weird comparability issues. I have no idea where to start for finding a ROM(I can install it on my own, And my phone is Unlocked and rooted).
Any help would be great! Thanks.
Ditto Note 4 LTE ... That's what I use on my T-Mobile Note 2.
Resurrection Remix
Try Resurrection Remix ROM. It's the best ROM I've used but it's Lollipop 5.1.1. It works faster and smoother than any other ROM. Following is the link to the ROM's page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...om-resurrectionremix-lp-v5-5-2-t0lte-t3170672
Rom
I usually steer clear of kk and L because I enjoy using my ext sdcard as it's intended to be used. I usually bounce between conch S with the Agni kernel and AOKP with the plasma kernel. Both are 4.3 roms, but good ones.

I have been using the octl rom on my Note 2 for the past few weeks. Everything important works, it hasn't had one lockup or crash, and it has some nice permission controls so I can block apps from accessing various permissions. Been loving it.
Here are the only issues I have discovered with it:
-android pay doesn't work (but that's the fault of Google).
-the included gallery app locks up on me.
Everything else I have tried works fine; netflix/sling, xposed (when added), android wear, etc...

I want to update my rom. Using stock now. Which rom to install?

Blisspop Marshmallow! I am using it for some days now and its very stable and running on Android 6.0.1.
Its based on the CM rom. Do why not use the CM?

Try Eclipse V5 if you want a TW rom. I am using it. I just flash it two weeks ago. I also on stock 4.4.2 before this. First time flashing. Never knowing soo much about rom and other stuff. Make sure you read a lot before flashing. Most of the instruction can get online. Although V6 is out, but i still stick with V5. Most V5 info can get from "[ROM][GT-N7100][TW 4.4.4] Eclipse By AC" under "Galaxy Note II Original Android Development". Happy flashing.

i have been using android version 5.1.1 based on CM 12.1 by ivan meler and i have been using this phone with this rom for the past two months , it's development has been completed that means it is the most finished version with literally 0 bug or lags and i must say i didn't expected this kind of performance at all ... this made me revert back to my note from my iphone 6 (you can imagine the smoothness of this rom) i would not recommend you marshmallow based roms becasue about 20 days i tried one and it had issue so if you use this device as a daily driver i would say go for 5.1.1 roms instead and CM 13&MM is still in development phase that means developers are still making it worthy .
you can hit the thanks button if i helped if anyhow .. if you need any noob friendly guide on how to root and install custom roms you can always ask me .. and there are quite of few tutorials on xda a well as Youtube

Yes it's based on CM but I tested some Marshmallow Roms and this ROM is really good.
Try Ivan Meler's Cyanogenmod 13 Rom ( Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow).
It´s pretty stable and i had no problems until build 6.
Wirth build 7 there is a problem with bluetooth for some people.

All the custom ROMs (not Samsung official) must be installed with a custom recovery like TWRP or ClockworkMod. The custom recovery can be installed with Odin.
I have been like a month with CM13 and I had no problems, but if you want a stable ROM, install an older one like CM12.1 aka Lollipop.

OK. And how it's update?
From 12 to 13 When will be stable. Need again flash and wipe or OTA update?
Try Dr. Ketan's kit Kat, N3, N4 and S5 features. Truly superb. Great battery life, Viper FX for sound. Stable. Tried many but always come back to this one.
