Hello. I used Note 2 two years ago and then I gave it to my uncle.
Now he is very much complaining about lagging and battery.
So he gave it to me to fix it.
I know most of things about rooting and flashing. I use cm13 in my other mobile.
So I decided to install custom rom.
Now my request to all that please suggest me a good rom which is complete bug free, smooth and battery friendly.
I know its not good to ask, but I have only today to download and install..
so please dont answer like check by yourself.
whatever you feel about prticular rom then please reply. If with bugs then please tell me which are they?
If bug is like fm radio or exfat support, then they dont count for me.
Thanks in advance.
dont get angry on me.
The most stable and bug-free ROM I have used is a stock ROM.
To increase battery life, you could re-flash stock, wipe, root, and remove unnecessary apps.

Just curious what ROM fellow flashers are running so far! I'm still stock rooted and am pretty happy with the experience although I can always use a sick custom ROM .
I know there are only a handful released so far as the devs are justttt getting warmed up so I guess everyone can just give their take on whats available so far.
*Sorry if this has already been posted, didn't see anything similar. Kill the thread if necessary!

Stock rooted with battery%+crt off mod.
Once other mods and optimizations make it into the stock, like 4in1 reboot, I'll flash that.
But so far, I'm very happy with stock.
Stock, root, no mods and most bloat removed. Was on zedo's kernel, but flashed back (got some weird issues, pretty sure it's not the kernel, but need to eliminate variables).
Working on my own kernel (learning) and will probably build my own ROM off that... if/when I get time.
Hi
I installed Blackhawk kernel sm t211 so now I feel my device works slowly and was not that I wanted.
Please upload stock kernel of SM T211 for me.
Thanks.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
I need it.(stock kernel SM-T211)
Since no replies to you yet, I'm new to all this so there might be a better solution but what I would do is either:
1) If you did a Recovery backup of your Stock or before you installed the kernel in either TWRP/CWM, flash it.
or
2) download mode and use Odin to install the STOCK Firmware. From my experience, it doesn't erase your user data and apps just reverts your device to stock along with the bloatwares so you'll have to do it again if you've debloated previously. Also, you also need to redo installing the recovery and rooting.
Good luck! I have blackhawk installed and didn't encounter problems with lag. :angel:
Thanks man!
Although I knew that I should flash a ROM.(I'm not a beginner)
My T211 performs not bad but it isn't stable like before flash kernel! also battery life is less than before.
Now I want to flash infamous ROM and try it ! is this ROM attractive?

The blackhawk kernel writes to system so the system.img is one that you need to return to stock kernel. It's too big to share lol and it's in the stock firmware anyway.
Sadly our device doesn't have many devs yet and most of them has stopped. I have tried infamous, it's stock, debloated, and with other apps included. You can see how it looks like in this vid. Skip near the end to see how it looks like because it's a tutorial on how to install it.
The SEAL ROM, never worked for me so I didn't try it. The most promising for me is 4.2.2 port, sadly it's stopped for now.
Personally, what I just did was to root, blackhawk kernel, debloat (you can use this script to debloat it), install adw launcher, uccw, and zooper for added visual. I've also tried these since I play games mostly GLtools and Pure Graphics HD. Mine wasn't lagging so far so I haven't notice the difference yet.
Tnx
but now I think that Tab 3.7 is a very poor tab,sadly!! and we should uninstall,flash,debloat until this device become a acceptable device!
but another......even cheap china devices(lenovo) or dell are better performance and cheaper.
But, I love my Tab 3.7 like my M8,nevertheless
Hi! First of all, I speak french, so my English isn't perfect, I understand 99% of what you say, but you will probably only understand 50% of what I say...
My HTC One V is very slow and lags alot. I want a custom ROM that will makes it way faster! Which one?
There are many things that I don't use on my phone, so maybe there are some ROMs with ripped features? For exemple, I don't have a sim card, so I don't need to be able to talk, I only use my phone to go on the internet, use messenger and listen to music.
Once I find the ROM I want, I need to install it... but how?
Can someone give me a link or explain me step by step how to do that? I'm a nood with phone/android, but I'm very good with computers, so I will probably understand easily.
Thanks!
Interesting.. If you read a little in android and maybe extract a rom once in a while, you could come pretty far in removing the features you don't need. So you make your own slimmed down ROM.
I am currently running Ignorance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400633
But I think of switching to Shpongle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230656
Cheers
You could try shpongle, it is a fast ROM. Also you could use apps like greenify, lagfix & Seeder to keep your phone at peak performance. Personally I think it is a good practice to flash a ROM every 4-5 months to maintain optimal performance. You could use ease backup for backing up data before flashing.
ROM for daily use
I would suggest Ignorance ROM for daily use (as per your usage).
Also read and read more about rooting and flashing custom recovery and custom ROM before you jump into rooting.
That will help you not to panic

Hello,
My GF's S4 Mini is 2 years old, not a single hard reset, with unrooted stock ROM.
She is happy with performance and with phone in general but battery is bust, it barely holds for 10 hours with light to medium use.
She uses her phone for WhatsApp, Messenger and occasionally taking some photos.
I am not sure though which version does she have. I can find out that later today but meanwhile I would be grateful for your advice.
It doesn't have to be the newest ROM version, it has to be reliable, with good battery and preferably with stock camera app.
Thank you!
There is no perfect rom. Keep the rom she is using. Change the battery , after 2 years is busted as u said
It could also be old problem that battery was draining fast even with 3g/wifi/gps OFF. That`s a motherboard problem that can be fixed by changing motherboard or with a custom kernel that have the fix implemented. Stupid thing is, after u install a custom kernel, u need to root phone and disable Knox apps or they will bother u. Search what version of S4 mini she have, what rom she have and start from there to search. I have for example some kernels with fixes for that problem, but first read on forums.
The above being said and valid...
... I find that this ROM: Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-20151026-serranodsdd
works pretty well for me. It is stable enough. You would have to root and stuff but its worth a try.

+1. RR LP 5.5.8 is very stable and battery friendly and also Blisspop 4.0.3 last two versions are good enough. BUT, in these 2 fantastic roms i have found a major bug (at least for me) that during incoming calls most of the times my contacts dont show up their names (only numbers) or sometimes very lately. I asked the devs about the problem but did not get any reply. So m back now to PAC rom KK 4.4.4, i used it for around 4 months continuously before i tried lollipop roms. Stable, good battery(05/01/2015 version) and hell lot of features.
N.B: The above is based on my experience only. It may very from person to person. And also it does not imply that other roms are worse or better, because i have not tried all of them.
What I have observed is temperature and the kernel have big impacts on battery drain. Stock 4.4. drains the battery much slower than 4.2., and the Cyanogenmod kernels also use up less juice than the stock roms.
the same
I have same issue. 2 or more years i9195 with stock 4.4.2 android. Battery drain is about 1%/hour at idle (sleep). When using it raises to 2-5%/hour. I want any other ROM or kernel that drains less battery. Please help
My phone has almost two years. Battery remains excellent. No tricks, such as calibration, etc.
In my experience the best ROM Stock based is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/gt-i9192-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-4-4-2-t2832673 .
I never installed another kernel, etc. in its use. I tried several ROMS CM based but always came back to this rom for stability, reliability, battery.
But lately I have been interested in Android M.
And I was already giving up again when I decided to use CM13 (feb / 21) by K2wl without GAPPS (Open GAPPS) or Custom Kernel.
My intention is to test CM13 in its purest possible code.
So far it has been amazing. No call issues, great battery (as in SilviuMik ROM). etc
I'm curious. Will this time be able to use a ROM CM based for more than two weeks without problems with Call and battery? If this happens it will be worth testing other GAPPS.

I do not think so. But this is not a problem. Just try the kernel to 95:

I believe that all you need. I never got to use debloated version of this ROM. I'd rather do it manually.

I used the official CM12.1 nightlies (& kernal) for about a year on my I9195, in the first few months I did get almost weekly random restarts, as you might expect on a nightly, but towards year end almost none. Then I installed the last Snapshot YOG9 (or whatever) and didn't get a single reboot in months.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-s4-mini-t3100159
Currently I'm on an unofficial version of same CM12.1 that has latest monthly security updates patched (which will be built until a stable release of CM13 is out) as the official CM12.1 development has stopped due to CM13. I've not had a single crash or reboot on this CM12.1 ROM, so that's about 6mths with no problems all together.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightly-t3300836
My wife is on CM12.1 (NightOwl) too on her old Note N7000, she has not had a single problem in the 2mths since I installed it. So long story short I'd say almost any version of CM12.1 is now very stable (provided you clear caches etc when installing and don't load dodgy apps )
CM13 version not suggested yet?
The best choice is the updated CM12.1?

I have been using cm13 nightlies ever since it came out. Almost updated every new package. Since then i had to revert it twice. For me so far it's stable. Using it with gapps pico. But do nog use any extended cm13 roms like bliss or rr, as they are highly unstable, lagy and full of buggs.
Have a nice day to all. I have an i9192 (GT-I9192ZKAAFR, S4 mini DUOS) with the latest original I9192XXUBNB1 ROM and the CSC is I9192OJVBNB1 (AFR / Kenya / AE). I have to use this phone again and it is horrible. Often becomes hot and unresponsive. Sometimes just simply shutdown itself or reboot. That is why I moved to another phone but that is in service now. Otherwise this is an amazing little device. I decided that it is time to take steps towards to a more stable ROM. Phone has Knox and it is still 0x0. Manufactured in 2013 and bought in 2014 so support has definitely gone. Therefore I am not really keen on Knox status but would be great to keep 0x0.
I am a Hungarian user and I would like to use Hungarian language on the phone. I see some ROM recommendation here. Is that true for Hungarian language as well? What about different region, modem or so? Are these ROMs working on my device? Is it possible to revert my phone to any factory version? I am not familiar with flashing ROM on this phone but read some tutorials and more or less trained.
Hi,
I'm on Exodus (+ Gapps pico) & very happy by the quality of this rom. (I haven't tried many other roms though)
Hi guys, it's my first post here, so sorry if I will wrong the section.
So, I have a lot of problems with my Note II: slowdowns, "the process has been stopped", etc.. :crying:
I would like a rom stable!! The most important thing is stability, fewer bugs possible, and with the Note features...
Who help me?
Eclipse Rom is what i recommend

Do you wish a stock rom , A custom rom ?? .
If you took the first option then i'd recommend KitKat with Nadia custom kernel , i've used it , it's good .
If the second choice is your preference then first i'd suggest you read about how these things work and how they are installed , the custom recovery . etcetera ,before taking any step through the process
Then and this is an important approach : Focus on the model of your phone and be careful , flashing the wrong ROM might mess with the soft of your device , and you won't like it trust me .
and good luck
Any cyanogenmod ROM should be fine.

...he wants the Note features, including spen! No way to have this features in an acceptable way on any kind of rom except those one TW based. So he can decide to stay on pure stock, maybe rooted, debloated and xposed or on some Note 3, 4 etc port - or simple reinstall his updated stock rom if he doesn't want to mess around.
If you bought a Note I suppose it is for the S Pen (on my N3 I coutend 3000 charging and 2600 spen in/out), otherwise any S series would be fine, and speed and rock solid CM would be a good choice - obviously if you don't use the pen a Note is a S...
Hi guys, sorry for the delay but I'm very busy with the university and I'am also sick in this period!

yes. First step is root your phone and install a custom recovery (philz or twrp) with odin.
eclipse is better custom rom .
