Helo, can someone tell my what is the best rom for the Samsung galaxy note 2?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
i think you need to stipulate what you are looking for from your rom / phone.
stock look (how samsung want it to look and behave) , android look ( how google made it to look and behave),
3rd party interface made by someone here.
stability or cutting edge/new tweaks that may have bugs but be the newest of the new...
That mainly comes to down to your preferences. If you want the stock look and want to preserve s-pen functionalities and Samsung features, then I'd recommend Android revolution HD.

The best ROM for you is the one that ticks all your boxes and serves your needs, so get flashing and find out.
I'm also interested in a ROM that emulates the google feel, any tips?

Hi, I am following the forum since i first bought my first android device the Note 2(n7100) on the day of its launch, i was earlier afraid of rooting with the risks involved.
But i have just rooted the phone yesterday, and flashed with ROOTBOX rom with seperate GAPPS installation.
though i am in absolute awe of the stock JB ROM, but still feel need for SPen apps, also i do feel that the camera quality has gone down, with images coming a lot more grainy even indoors in proper lighting.
I am also looking for a ROM with 4.2.1 JB but dont want to compromise on Camera Quality, i have read that there are few apps which help in SPen compatibility etc.
.
Did you try the roms suggested by experts, wht are your thoughts about them.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, its my first one, so all the excitement and amazement of flashing is keeping my typing.

The best one would be the one with the best battery life, performance small size, no bloat, a ton ofnew functions, great developer support and kept up to date all the time.

omega rom rocks
I'm also searching for the best ROM. I'm using omega currently but somehow it is battery drain for me, it's battery life can't even last for one day with 3g and heavily use in camera, facebook and whatsapp. I was using another called Mr. Luong. This rom is able to provide a good battery life which can last for more than one day. The problem I change is because the laggy problem and unstable under multi windows. Anyway, I'm still expecting omega can release a better version, v12. I'm still waiting for it
Wanam2.8 for simplicity and closest to Samsung.
Phoenix6.5 for beauty.

I'm looking for a ROM that has s-pen and multi-screen features, but at the same time, improves performance and can be overclocked/underclocked. Thanks guys
Here you go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1794
Uv and oc are kernel related.
All the roms that say dll7 or dma3 or dma5 or dma6 dmb4 etc all support s pen and features
Also look into the description.
Anything that says based on samsung firmware has all s pen features.

Android revolution HD , simplistic framework and stock kernel . Andro I d revolution rom is the best rom ever according to battery life , performace and stability . Not even a single lag or fc with any stock or third party apps .

The news isn't on their website, but it is on twatter
Still, nothing to get really excited about. CyanogenMod will beat any TouchWhiz kitkat update by many many many many months.

True, but you will also lose the features that make this phone stand out, like its amazing camera.
They'll probably give us an update in Dec or Jan regarding when we will receive the kitkat update, which will probably be 6 months from there lol.

I brought this phone for the hardware not software. I never use the gimmick features anyway and to me the AOSP camera is good enough for me. Besides I cam from my note 2 and the difference between the note 2 on TW and the note 2 on CM was incredible. I cant wait to get CM on this baby.

Well that's you. I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who prefer a stable tw rom than an always buggy aosp rom.

I for one... am hopeful.
And this is why, I had the note 2, and am now on the note 3, Sammobile posted that 4.3 was being tested for note 2 as of 9/25/13 and all the leaked documents show that it should be released (on all carries) the end of this month or beginning of december
So, with the news that 4.4 is being tested for note 3, if (big if) they follow a similar time table, within 3 months we should have the update...
Again... this is being very hopeful. just my opinion. we will see what happens.

I have rooted/unlocked about 10 diff phones over the past 4yrs and would have agreed with you up until a short while ago. The AOSP camera is no where as great quality as a "stock" phone ever is. Reason being, the drivers are not open source. Now that I have a baby, the reason I went with the Note 3 is due to its amazing camera/camcorder, which will not even be remotely close on AOSP. Thats the reason why I will always stick with a TW ROM. I have xposed and other mods done, so its pretty much AOSP to me anyways.
I remember coming to XDA many moons ago to get fixes for my Ipaq 6513 - Windows mobile phone. There was no such thing as Android then. Those phones needs fixes like mad and XDA was here to work things out. I will only use a custom rom when the stock rom isn't up to par. That being said, I see no reason to apply a custom rom to the N3 or the N2. They were perfect out the box. CM is sorely lacking compared to TW.
Sammy may release a 4.4 update next month but I doubt T-Mobile will release it before March.
Note 2 Update will hit Dec. 2 for T-Mobile.
Rep said the same today.. I called for a question regarding a Wifi bug and all she pulled up was Kitkat update for Note 3.(it was unexpected) but she did say its in testing.
I'll be waiting for the TW update ...

Agreed 100%. I hate the AOSP camera, it's the most basic, crappy, unintuitive thing I've ever used. I have a cat that I love to take pictures of(why yes, I AM single! lol) and every time I tried an AOSP rom on my N2 I found myself cursing the camera & searching for a decent alternative. Nothing beats the voice-controlled option-rich TW cam, as far as I'm concerned
When I bought my Note 2 the news that 4.3 was coming. Note 3 came out and never received 4.3
I'll believe it when I see it.

wow! this looks promising! downloading now.. thanks
Agree, beanstalk is a very verrrrryy good rom. Stable and great battery life. While you're at it check out the other one will3 js working on now called temasek or something like that.
Now that I think of it my two favorite roms are from the att forum. Beanstalk for aosp, and sky air with the note 3 features for touchwiz
sent from a note taker
My apologies for bumping an old thread. So I've been using beanstalkrom for the past week or so and I love it. One big issue for me is that the camera sometimes does not work. I know that it's a "known issue" and it bugs me alot. Temasek Rom is suppose to replace beanstalk and from what I've read, you can use the G2 camera but still has minor issues ( can't upload videos to instagram/vine). Now for the million dollar question, is there a 100% stable version of kikat for the note 2? or will i have to wait until March when Samsung releases it?
Alright guys , hello there. Recently we saw the release of KitKat ROM for note 3 on Sammobile (I guess its for Poland only right now), so a question came into my mind. Can we port note 3 Roms to work on Note 2? That will be great because then we can get touchWhiz working on note 2 with android 4.4.2. Any ideas if this is possible ?

Thank you for the reply , appreciated . but I am trying to figure put if its possible to get 4.4.2 KitKat on Note 2 with touchwhiz. Which I though would be possible by porting Note 3 KitKat ROM to note 2 ( because I don't think Samsung will launch KitKat for note 2)

Flashing other device's rom(s) could damage Ur phone, you can wait a bit and many of the Touchwiz roms will upgrade to 4.4.2 very soon.

Relax bro,We are sure to recieve that KitKat taste wrapped by the Samsung UI,but in late April(if Sammy doesnt delay )
And ya the 3 custom roms posted are awesome,but whether they claim a good battery life and stability(daily use),
they are in comparision to othr custom roms..So,experience is that most ppl land up flashing StockRom at end..so better stick to Stock!& enjoy just a rooted phone,Titanium Backup,Rom Toolbox,Xposed,Greenify,LMTetc..
DO CHECK THIS,TECHILICIOUS FOR TECH-ppl to enjoy:-

Samsung have already said the note 2 will get android version 5 so we will get kit kat plus another update after that. AFAIK to port the 4.4.2 twizz rom we would need a 4.4.2 stock kernel for our device so until the 4.4.2 Samsung source code is released it can't be ported. But I stand to be corrected by more experienced devs

Im using DN3 and its buttery smooth + amazing battery life, please note that I have 3G open 24/7, may not be the best battery life, but it really satisfied me (12 hours with 6 hours on screen and still have 15% charge)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
Yes it's possible but:
1) It will need a kernel that can boot 4.4.2 TW on our device.
2) Tons of changes in framework.
Possibly no one would attempt that.
I'm certain to a lot extent that we will get Sammy Kitkat (official or leaked ) soon
Thanks for the reply guys,after reading your posts I will wait for the official Note 2 KitKat ROM.

So I believe the latest official stock ROM/firmware for any of the Galaxy Tab PROs is still 4.4.2. Correct me if I'm wrong.
When will we see 4.4.4 or 4.4.3? I always thought Samsung was relatively speedy with their updates, but I read that even the LG G Pad 8.3 is about to get 4.4.4 or something. Where's our firmware update!!
CM11
Google just announced android "L" I am pretty sure Samsung will skip two minor updates and go with one major update.

Uh, I think it'll be a while before we see Android L. (Android 5.0)
Also, it's a VERY major update. Samsung will take at least 6-8 months to figure out how to customize TouchWiz/MagazineUX for Android 5.0
In the meanwhile, we still need further support for our KitKat GTP's.
There's lots of outstanding bugs/issues that they can fix to improve our experience NOW, not in 8 months time.
In 8 months time I might not be using this tablet anymore, lol.
Everything what you stated are all true, but I rarely see any tablets that go through all updates. Most I see are major android updates + manufacturers' stability updates.
It would be nice to see our tablet software is up to date but with Samsung releasing 3 or so tablets per month, most likely their focus is on running their overlay more stable rather androids minor updates.
I wish we live on a perfect world but what's fun in that haha..
