Which of these ROMs you prefer?

Hi everyone..
I have been using many ROMs, to be honest i can't stay on one more than 10 hours.. I keep on switching between them..
So which one YOU would prefer from these:
1. [email protected] (4.1.2 with many things m, simple, clean, themes, etc.)
2. JellyBam (4.2.2 best mix of PA,AOKP,CM,AOSP..)
3. SilmBean (4.2.2 very small, clean, dpi 241, simple)
4. AllianceROM (4.1.2 Based with best AOSP feel)
5. Emotion ROM (4.1.2, i got the best battery life in this)
6. Phoenix ROM (4.1.2, many features)
I tried many others ROM such as ARHD, WanamLite, monixROM, miniTab, etc.. But i didn't like them

Im not a real "flasher" nor do i have lot of experience but i did like jellybam

I used phoenix and emotion, but I'm on dualnote v4 ubdll3 since 1 month cause the battery life is great with this version (and I like the aosp look).

I'm not really sure on your pick on the "Best Battery Life Rom". Personally I've tried most of the roms.
IMO:
Alliance Rom - Great Ui, Lots of junk apps(easily removed with Rom customizer.) Surprisingly good battery life. Able to get about 7 hours screen in time with the phone running around 12 to 20 hours. Depending on usage obviously.
Wanamlite - Used to be my daily driver and thought it had the best battery life. Not anymore. A light Rom but battery life was my concern so it had to go.
Emotion Rom(your pick as best battery life) - I had a the opposite experience. Battery life was so so. I would rate it the same as Wanamlite.
Omega Rom - and this is by far the best battery life I've gotten out of my note 2. Fast and smooth transitions. Goes into deep sleep without any kernel wakelocks. Most I had drained while asleep for 8 hours was 3%. I've had this for 2 weeks now and battery life is amazing.
I get a lot of phone calls, Whatsapp every 5 - 10 minutes, browse quite a bit too. Settings for my phone is basically everything that saves battery is turned off, except for 3G. Most of the time I'm out and about so I don't have wifi. I basically run on 3g throughout the day.
The best I've gotten from this Rom is about 10 hours and 30 minutes of on screen time at the end of the having about 1-5% left. I wish I kept the screenshot to prove it but I don't.
So to you new flashers out there, just try it out. You won't be disappointed.

For me, in Omega ROM i get 6-7 hours of display but in Emotion i got solid 9 hours of display.. 6 idle time with 0-1% battery loss.. In total of 15 hours..
Wanamlite i didnt like it.. I would go with Android Revolution instead..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Was it the latest Omega? Because on the previous versions I got around the same as what you mentioned but on v12 it's surprisingly good. I have have perseus kernel flashed but in the forums users have said to have been battery life with stock kernel.
I'd definitely try emotion again. But the only 2 things that bug me is the contact picture icons. It's somehow shrinked or stretched. I'm not the only one with this problem. PMed the developer about it but he never replied me. And the other problem is the toggles. Developer is currently using SF instead of wanams 23 toggles like before.
That's just my 2 cents. Cheers.

You have been busy!.. ROM list

This is so random.. If 20 users say that x rom is the best, 20 others will say that y rom beats x rom and so on. There's too many variables to conclude anything like this.

Which rom has the most extras
hey guys, i want a rom with the most extras, tweaks and apps, basically i want a rom with everything possible so i can decide what i like and what i do not like, any recommendations?
and can you link me to an in depth tutorial on how to flash the note 2 from "official" firmware to the custom firmware

PhoeniX is the best for me as it has a lot of features and tweaks, plus, its really fast!

Thread closed as its a best ROM thread.

[Q] What's the best Kitkat custom rom for Note 2?

Thanks

They are all stable enough for daily use and none of them is bugfree because of leaked software not exactly fitting for N2.
Try them and find out which you like most :good:

There is no best .. All are pretty equal.. However my favorites are Resurrection remix, OmniRom.org and Paranoidandorid.

As far as the best goes.. The best rom will always be the one you haven't flashed in your phone

sprint note 4 custom roms

When is somebody going to make a custom rom for this thing
Ever since Josh beach left us I have seen only modified stock, I prefer a rom like kit Kat killer, is anyone working on something like this ?

Cyanogen Mod 12.0 is almost ready. That's a great custom ROM.

I dont think there is a real understanding here, either a rom is stock modified (no matter how modified) or aosp based. aosp is currently being worked on so all there is stock based.

I am kind of in the same boat
Master Zen and Freeza are the other two note users here that I really followed through the Note 2/3
Freeza was a lifesaver for extracting basebands and posting them Day 1 as well as custom kernels and Zen made really good work of stock roms with simple themes.
The note 2 had instant support from the community
The Note 3 took a few months to get going..
Note 4 is at a much slower pace.. but it may have to do with the release schedule and peoples upgrades/contracts.
I actually made my own version of the stock rom.but its still slow
I ported all of my apps and took some tweaks from my note 2 and note 3 and moved them over to the Note 4 with Titanium
Wanam Xposed really has everything I needed for interface adjustments.. I run my phone at 320 pixel density ( as opposed to stock 480)
so its visually pleasing but I have so many apps i moved over Im not sure if the issues im having now are related to one of those tweaks or the phone itself.
This thing is just a lagfest... the keyboard - you hit the back button and you dont know if it accepted the command.. and you end up erasing half a paragraph, Something in touchwiz is also causing an issue with the app window and switching between apps
Ive done all the silly tweaks like window animation, gutted Svoice ( which will cause popup issues with the camera when you try to take a selfie since it loads svoice for listening to verbal commands...
Im ready to jump to CM12 honestly..
Note 3- camera a little better- performance great
Note 4- camera finally good- Performance.. OK despite being spec'd much higher..
Its sad.. but hang in there more options will be around soon- Nobody wants to dump 100s of hours into building the perfect rom on a platform that is at the end of its cycle- When android 5.0/ 5.01 official comes out from Samsung you will see a LOT MORE activity because thats what everyone is waiting for to start building on to be honest. ( And CM is nice, but we always lose features and almost every time theres either an issue with the camera or lockscreen, or texting/mms)
Wait another 2 months, or take your chances with some of the ports and new guys roms.. Anything at this point is better than the stock heap of garbage samsung touchwiz is at its current state

Either you can use Titanium backup or you can use a few different roms available that come pre-debloated!

So I would like to retract my issues with performance and lag.
I was not aware that Xposed had an issue that caused lag spikes.
Learned when I went to look for new roms- so now i notice a huge difference.. phone is much faster now.

I agree with you on this. But even with the lack of custom roms, I really have no complaints with a custom stock rom because the phone is great right out of the box. So until 5.0 comes out I really don't see investing a lot of time and effort into making a radical custom rom with 4.4.4. and then having to turn around and start all over again when 5.0 finally releases. With this said, this is the first phone that I really don't feel the need for a wildly custom rom that "adds features". Other than performance/battery tweaks, I'm perfectly fine with it the way it is. Maybe this is because I've been messing with this stuff for so long and seen so many custom roms/projects over the years with several different devices, that I finally feel content with a device without feeling the need for a custom rom. Going with an AOSP/CM based rom pretty much cripples all of the built in TW features and that's the whole point of buying a Galaxy device with a Spen and all of it's features. Let's just see what happens when 5.0 comes out.

There is.. many roms that have xposed built in will advertise "Xposed-proof" or "Xposed bug fixed"
I had no idea what they were talking about at first until i realized there was an issue with it causing lag with one of the versions

Great post, I have same sentiments and feedback.. I went back to Nexus 6 but still have hope for the Note 4. COME ON SAMSUNG!! Release the lollipop update already!!
More than the lagginess of the rom even on debloated rom (compared to nexus 6) my main gripe/thing I cant stand at all is the lack of dark themes.

Not sure how you all could be so excited about lollipop when Xposed won't work on it...

Old post... yes, but in case any others stumble upon this while looking up stuff for their note 4's... xposed works fine with Lollipop Android. I run my Sprint Note 4 with the Note5 hybrid ROM with the Xposed Framework version 86.0 (custom build by wanam / 20160709) and have no issues.

[Q] Best Lollipop Rom for N7100 ?
Hi guys,
I'm on the Eclipse ROM by AC but I would appreciate to have Lollipop on my device.
I've seen that there's many of them but I don't know which one to choose ?
I want something stable, fast, and battery friendly.
I don't care about Spen things and Samsung stuff...
What is the best ROM to you ?
Thanks

On this ROM battery stays only for 20 hours for me. I was under the impression that cm based ROMs deliver more...

As a former Eclipse user, I have to say the CM12.1 port from @Ivan_Meler (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/cyanogenmod-12-alpha-1-n7100-t2949644) with a splash of the S6 Theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wsdeveloper.galaxy). Absolute pant-wettingly perfect combination. Stable as a rock.

When I buy a new phone I spend like days trying all roms (or at least main ones) and looking at features and optimization
I usually don't care of battery, I think there is no such system that save battery without losing performance, and because I'm a more performance oriented user, just don't look at battery and charge anytime is low....
Viper rom is crazy, so many features, options, system is very smooth, but IMO the more tweaks and mods a rom contains, the more things are screwed up inside, or at least gives me that impression. I can't say is not stable, but I find a stockish rom smoother....
and because I am a stock look guy, I have to say that out of the box the rom has already some graphic tweaks that doesn't make me feel home, and this is kinda annoying for me....but if you are a mod fan, flash this and you will never have to flash anything else haha
Android Revolution is the main referral for stock rom, very good, but....meh, I am an htc user since sensation, and is not as optimized as 4 years ago...
cyanogenmod and candy (based on cm source, so is almost the same) are nice, I can't stay without sense, but they are working.
cyanogen didn't give me any "wow" effect, stock always seems smoother and faster, but I think is only matter of time...early development
ICE is a very good rom for an experienced dev, but doesn't catch me for some reason.
and at last...the one I am using now....maximus HD....this rom comes from llabtoofer, which is the main leaker from htc and a very experienced dev, rom is always smooth and stable. since is the only one I usually keep I can give you a feedback, and is not so great, I have always 3h or even less screen on (with android wear all the day), but keeps up for 20h (my day)....since I don't use the phone so much keeps up longer with less screen on time
I'm missing only leedroid which has his own custom kernel, so is interesting, I think I will try it today or tomorrow ...
I have to say I was a SkyDragon user on m8 and m7 and would like to see that rom updated here, which was definitely the faster on other phones

Lee droid and candy

I would say sky dragon ,pyrano or ice are my favorites tried them all and think pyrano be my favourite about of the 6 I tried

Hi guys I'm after trying g a non sense Tom which one is the most feature packed and working great as I'm not sure which one to flash
