[Q] minimal Rom with S-Pen functions - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
currently im running the stock 4.1.2 german Telekom Rom my N7105 came with because i thought it would last longer than the 4.4 nordic Rom i was using before, but with stock kernel and power savings mode i find it quite unusable (constantly lagging)
I have never used a non stock rom on my n7105 and quite frankly i am a bit lost.
Does anyone know a minimal rom (most Samsung apps removed, i only use S Note, a minimum of google apps, basically just the ones you need to run the play store) with a decent Battery Life? If there is no such rom which Stock KitKat Rom runs the smoothest?
From the looks of it DN3 would be way too bloated for me (if im mistaken please tell me) and as far as i can see the only alternative would be stock roms, all other seem to be based on cyanogenmod and co so there is no S-Pen functionality
also only Stock and Shift Kernel would be ok for me to use, because as much as i like the agni kernel i need to connect to a IPSec/PSK VPN which agni simply wont let me do. (or are there other kernels out there for the n7105?)

Slimkat is fully debloated ROM. Smooth on performance and battery life.

I thought slimkat is based on aosp and therefore lacks the s-pen functionality, im using my note exclusively with the s-pen (just not with the Samsung apps, except s-note)
Will the s-pen work in slimkat, for navigation, a note app (doesn't have to be s-note) and gmd s-pen control

You definitely want a TouchWiz-based ROM to get full benefits of the S Pen. Otherwise, it's just a cool-looking stylus that's sharper than a finger tip.
BUT, TouchWiz-based ROMs are filled with junk most of us will never use.
You can't have it both ways.
If you want full use of the S Pen, use the latest excellent DN3 and remove as many apps as possible to slim things down. That's what I'd do. I had the DN3 until the DN4 came out and it has excellent battery life.
Otherwise, Slimkat definitely sounds like a good lightweight choice.

I finally had some time yesterday and flashed Slimkat, will test it for a week or so and see how the battery holds up.
Yeah DN3 or complete Stock rom, which i would then debloat myself was plan b. (or better: still is plan b, depending on how much i like slimkat)
But i actually dont think i need more S-Pen Features than i have with SlimKat. Right now im trying Papyrus for Notes and GMD S-Pen Control for Gestures which is pretty much the same functionality i used before (well airview for information and scrolling would be neat too, are there any third party apps which enable this?)

I also like JusWrite (stylus edition) for quick note reminders, and SignEasy to sign documents. You can also try everything from MyScript.

I'm running SlimWiz. It's the best ROM with Note 3 S-Pen features and S5 stuff. The phone runs very very smooth.

[Q] Battery * Pen and Links

Hi,
N7100 (UK - Locked to 3 network) here...stock ROM but rooted.
I seem to have the same problem other readers are having.
1. Can't find the links for the Android Revolution ROM and Super Wipe...is it meant to be hard to find?
2. I actually think the stock ROM is pretty good. But I notice the Cell Standby is draining the battery quite a bit. Does anyone know if there are optional modems available for the UK (international version N7100) of the note 2?
3. If these ROMs are so brilliant why do none of them include support for the S-Pen which in my mind is one of the great additions for this phone?
Thanks for your time.
Me.
1. The download links are clickable images, for some reason some browsers don't display them. Try another browser.
2. I don't know but I'd like to find out too.
3. All samsung firmware based roms have the same s-pen features, cm10 based roms have basic s-pen features but not to the extent of a samsung based rom.

[Q] most stable ROM?

Sorry for being retarded, but I can't find anything about multi window feature in custom ROMs long feature list. I hate those useless feature with plenty of S, so I am looking for a vanilla ROM with:
1. Multi window feature
2. Change display mode from standard to natural,
3. S-Note
That is all. I don't need any fancy colorize or anything like samsung accounts, or smartstay, etc. Only a fast and stable phone to work with.
As for S-Note, if I can get its replacement so that I can write anything pretty quick, I can live with that.
Any suggestion which ROM does that? Or every ROM basically has those options without mention it?
Thank you

If that's the case, try a ROM with floating multi window, I haven't tried one though. Awesome Notes HD is a great app. You can pin in on your notification drawer to get quick access to it. I don't use S-Note for most of my notes, its slow, if not laggy.
I use Android Revolution. Looks like the stock Samsung ROM, only it has a lot of bloat removed, and is quicker.

Multiwindow feature and S Note are both dependent on touchwiz frameworks. At the moment it is next to impossible to get them on AOSP/CM based roms. Also there are no other alternatives that are as good as Multiwindow at the moment, floating window apps dont even come close and are very limited. My suggestion to you is to download one of these sammy based roms particularly ARHD and use titanium backup app to freeze all the unwanted S apps.
Install android revolution rom... its fast and with out bloatware. U can top it up with simplistic framework if needed
There are too many roms and you will really get confused. Try one and see whats missing and find that one in another rom and install it.:good:
Alliance rom v3. Very polished, average of 30 of usage with 6 hours of screen time.

LOL... You are obsessed with stability. No one can satisfy your needs. It will be best if you can give us a new stable rom... No offence meant
Even i have tried so many roms before. Now i dont do that. I just prioritize as what i want in a rom. For me, stock sammy features were must. So ARHD suited me most. Then removed bloatware by rom cleaner so that i have more memory. Simplistic framework if you want to change certain things. Thats it. For me,my phone should not lag,should take what ever i throw at it,give decent battery. I got it with ARHD.
And always either do what majority follow cuz of feedback or experiment on your own. :good:

Yeah, because I work a lot with my phone, using Citrix Receiver, ssh, and remote desktop everyday there, and can't do a lot of experiments. So, yeah.. that multiwindow is VERY important since remote desktop would disconnect when I switch, and I am trying to narrow down my candidate ROM list.
I can accept once a month FC, but not a constant nagging problem with pretty GUI like cMIUI or RR. Granted, some people prefer lot of features, with newest ROM, sacrificing stability, but that's not me. And my S2 was very stable with vanilla ROM, and I like stock Nexus very much. The reason why I was starting from there. Also there are lots of ROM there with different focus. Stable ones, featured ones, fast ones, pretty ones, etc.
Thanks for info. I have downloaded ARHD, and will flash it tonight.. any other stable ROM I should consider?
ARHD ROM is pretty stable minus user error. I think there's a list somewhere in these threads showing you what you can and what you shouldn't freeze. I honestly don't find freezing stock apps all that useful. For one they don't give you usable space and second they don't keep running in the background and seldom wake the phone. I'd say ArHD+ Simplistics+ Nova Launcher+ Perseus kernel and you're good to go.

I don't like it when those useless apps keep asking me to create a backup account, nor any app that always asking me to register, notif me a promo, ask me to leave comment, rate, or do something while it is in the background. I don't use them, but they keep annoy me. I hate that. I don't care too much for waking the phone, as my phone rarely sleep while I am awake. I also keeps 3 battery with me. As I said, I use my phone for work, and those useless notif always distracts me.
I tried Omega, AOKP, CyanogenMod and a couple of more on my old S2, my wifes S3 and my Note2.
For some reason I always fall back on WanamLite.
The most satisfying rom for me regarding stability, (stock camera), quick no wipe upgrades.
Never had issues, just works as it should.
Only missing a kitchen app like omegas kitchen but for Wanam.
So 1st place WanamLite
2nd Omega
3rd AOKP
All above w Nova Launcher

I used to get so many FC om touchwiz, at least 4 on a daily basis. With Alliance v3 I've been getting a bit better battery life as well as smoothness. No FC and I never I'll wiped from v1 to v2 nor v2 to v3 and it's running incredibly stable.
AR HD no fuzz, all touchwiz

[Q] What is lost on a non-Samsung based ROM?

I used to install and tweak a new ROM almost every other week on my OG Evo 4G. Since I got a Verizon Galaxy Note 2, I've just kept it to Nova Launcher as my only "hack". I was looking at rooting and trying out some ROMs but I was wondering what functionality I would lose if I go with non-Samsung based ROMs like MIUI or AOKP (or whatever the latest fashion is).
Pen?
Pen hover cursor?
Multi-app functionality?
Etc...
You would lose all the touchwiz apps such as snote, smart rotation and smart stayon, Hover scroll and info, annoying touchwiz sounds and notifications, FM radio app, the ugly tw ui, and the excellent battery life.
With custom Aosp roms you would get 70percent of the battery life compared to touchwiz Rom, additional and easy modifications to the UI, faster and more fluid overall performance. The hover icon of the Spen can be enabled but you wouldn't get the same feedback when hovering over items in screen, as for the radio app you'll need to install 3rd party app such as Spirit Radio. These are just the few stuff you would gain I suggest you try it out.

Awesome thanks. I hardly use any S-Apps so that's not a big deal. Also, I charge every night but get 2 days worth of charge so battery life is fine by me. My big thing is when I'm doing a quick remote desktop connection for my job, I like to use the S-Pen to better hit small buttons and links on the screen. As long as that functionality is there (I know it's dependent on the ROM developer/port) I'm good to go.

[Q] New to Galaxy Note II

So I am switching from the Galaxy Nexus to the Galaxy Note II and I'm curious about a few factors.
First question: what is the developer name of the Verizon Galaxy Note II? Nvm. Found out it is t0lte
Second Question: As for using the s-pen and 'two apps on the same screen' and any other features that are note specific do I have to use a touchwiz rom? or can I use another rom and have the features included
You have to use touchwiz based ROM to get multiwindow features. And if you want floating multiwindows (like as in real PC like windows where you can open numerous windows w/ minimize/close button and everything) try out Moon Rom or X-Note which has the feature pre-installed. Or flash the X Note mod over touchwiz based ROM.
Hello! I know where you're coming from.
If you are fond of the S-pen and you want the full experience with that then you have to probably stay with Touchwiz. I tried out Touchwiz too for some while and it's not bad and compared to non-Touchwiz roms the camera is the best and in most cases so is the battery. Not to forget if you really want to have all the Samsungs apps then there's no way around using TW.
Although, seeing you come from a Nexus, I can imagine you miss the AOSP feeling. After some experimenting with roms and kernels I mostly got disappointed about the batterylife in AOSP roms and about the lack of some decent S-pen functionality (and recognition when you pull it out / put it back in).
After some research I finally found (my personal) perfect combination. AOSP, good batterylife (like TW), and S-pen functionality combined with it.
My setup is using thor's rom with thor's kernel, unfortunately (for reasons I will not elaborate on, if you really want to know you can use search) his topics are banned from XDA, however you can find his work here. I highly recommend it, it's the best AOSP experience you can get on your Note 2. Rock stable, extremely fast (feels even faster and smoother than a Nexus 4), everything works, and good batterylife.
Another AOSP rom I can recommend is "CarbonRom", extremely smooth too and the optional carbon theme is really nice, I'd still recommend using thor's kernel with it for the provided speed and battery life.
As for the S-pen functionality on AOSP I recommend you would install "CM S Pen Add-on" for detection and "Note Buddy" to choose what app you want to launch when you pull out your S-pen (I recommend Papyrus).
If for some reason you still want to stick with a TW rom I would recommend ARHD (closest to stock and very stable) or, as stated above already, Moon Rom if you want some nice extra features like multiple floating windows.. For TW roms I recommend Adam Kernel.
This should keep you busy already for a while, let us know what you tested and how you find it
Thanks to both of you. I should have plenty to test and play around with now. Ill try out a few different things and see what I like. A friend of mine recommended the beans rom. So i think I will try that out first. but its good to know that i need touchwiz to get the note2 exclusive things.
Thanks guys! :good:
especially wtr_dhd. That was very detailed =)
Im looking forward to when my note arrives

Not really a direct answer to your question, but this way works always and 100%, install Rom Manager from Play (needless to say you need to be rooted), and via there you can reboot into recovery, it will even suggest you to install the latest CWM if you like (which I highly recommend)!

What rom are you currently running, and why?

Hey, I wanted to know, of those of you who are still active in this forum, what rom are you using and why did you choose that rom.
I recently went back to stock briefly for a battery warranty claim. I was using and lime cm12.1 black for the sm700. Cm12.1 was very fast when I was using it compared to stock and some other roms .used
I am using the latest IronROM, TW roms may not be as fast and fluid as CM/AOSP roms but without TW I loose bluetooth Apt-X and some other stock features. IronROM is very stable and and a bit faster then stock TW.
SM-T800. I too was running IronROM but switched to Phoenix just to try it out. Like IronRom. Phoenix seems to be just a bit faster but not enough to matter much. I was actually looking for a ROM that would help me increase the volume of the Tab S beyond its normal capability. So far, it hasnt made much difference. I also tried PacMan and like it a bit better than phoenix, but it has a couple of quirks that I cant get around.
If you want to increase the audio install Viper4Android. It is simply a superior audio replacement going well beyond increasing the gain control.

PACROM is the best with the new update the only thing is that you cant use iron or skyhigh kernel for oc the igpu which could be nice for games like ASPHALT 8 who depend on the igup and not on the processor but since iron rom and phoenix look almost the same and use android 5.0.2 which suck on tab S well pac is better because he use 5.1.1 and on asphalt the graphic is not pixellised like on 5.0.2
