Hey there, I haven't updated my Note II (N7100) in a while so I was wondering what's on the custom ROMs scene these days.
Long story short, I came across a popular few listed below but it doesn't do much to help differentiate one ROM from another. While it's easy to say "give each a try & find out for yourself", I was hoping we can be a bit more objective to describe the functionality of each ROM & what they feature to make them stand out from the rest.
Ideally, I can keep the list updated following your feedback. Please feel free to give me your suggestions to improve it further. Thanks!

Are we able to do that ? I never knew that it was possible to exist a thread like that. Its going to be very helpful, if its going to be continued. I will definitely follow and get informed .
Thank you for creating this.
:good::good:
---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------
BUT IF WE WANT TO BE FAIR , we must inform that Aicp and Lineage roms have been updated recently
AICP has a daily base update so the last nightly is 11/6/2017
http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=n7100
Lineage's ROM also have been updatedd 3/6/2017
http://tilak.sergix44.ovh/n7100/
RR is not easy to keep track, as they release a rom and after a while it disappears from their server and an unofficial pops up and so on. I was never able to understand what is happening in that thread and this is very unfortunate since RR is (or was for NOTE 2) one of the most popular roms. It was the first not stock based,custom rom i flashed in my note 2
NucleaROM also has a newer version:
NucleaRom-V1.0.7-OFFICIAL[7.1.2]-n7100-20170525
http://nuclearom.com/download/nuclearom-v1-0-7-official7-1-2-n7100-20170525-1513-zip/?lang=en
and HenonHD , I think is going to surprise us pleasantly , with something even newer from them all
Tomorrow , if its OK, I will write my personal opinion for every one I have tried.
N7100 ROMs Table (Nougat) (updates stopped)
Moved to its own thread (here).
take a look in NucleaROM by @moludo. New built today 13/6/2017 is fantastic, with CM S-PEN support inbuilt.
I think its the top for now.

I don't see why not
You'll notice I've avoided subjective opinions when comparing the ROMs to avoid any kind of bias beyond what each of them offer. A similar [THREAD="3220724"][INDEX] thread[/THREAD] exists for our Note II & most other device forums but it hasn't been updated since the tail-end of last year so I'm aiming to just focus on a detailed "specs sheet" of ROMs.

I'm just keeping track of stable release dates. I'm sure you understand that it gets a bit trickier to keep track of nightly release dates of various ROMs. However, I'll make a note to label ROMs with a nightly release schedule as such.

Thanks for your feedback, @jer194! Just added a "Flaw" column to the table to keep track of significant issues (+ their fixes) that users might want to aware of before committing to install a ROM.
Once again, I'd like to re-iterate to everyone that this is (at least for the time-being) an actively updated thread so your contribution is hugely appreciated for each & every ROM up there. Cheers!
Sorry Guys was all busy with my Sem exams, Hope you all are doing good,
Have so much of notifications to be checked on....
anyway, will see for a week for some new changes in RR, else will release a new stability fix update.
Special thanks to Christoph Schafer for his donation, its not the amount brother, its the appreciation which you shown matters...

The list of flaws for sure is incomplete, the ones in my post are just the ones I'm struggling with
Meanwhile, NucleaROM (170622) and XenonHD (170624) have received updates (see my earlier post).
I think that now that magisk is removed as a default root method and AICP has left us decide what to be used as root, AICP is coming back very strong among the three best for now , together with NucleaRom and HenonHD, which are still at the top three.
Hibin.m , now that he is back, has to give a boost if he intents to keep up, as RR is not what they used to be and what in other phones are still considered as a strong group.
Lineage is always the strong, solid but Spartan rom, which anyone can count on, to test if his phone is working as it should.
Its always the base of them all.
THESE ARE MY PERSONAL FEELING THIS WEEK and no one has to agree with me.
I think its like open season out there, all the kids , now that schools and colleges have finished lessons have come over, looking for things and futures they have left before new years holidays. Amazing how young people dont want to try new things but trying to keep things the way it was a long time ago. A lot of them are even asking how to go back to lolipop or KIT KAT.
TECHNOLOGY is not furniture where old is classic. Here old is outdated and not working anymore, as it cannt keep up new challenges.
Any way, sorry for that, I am mostly talking to my self

Thanks for bumping the thread!
There is no obligation to fix flaws --- everybody is free to do so, if he/she feels like ...
(and there might be more interesting things to do out there).
Anyway, I've updated my two tables I had posted earlier (on N7100 ROMs, and on flaws).
Today i have in my mind this classification about the available roms for our note 2
1. XenonHD 14/7/2017
Everything seems to work just fine in that latest version of the rom
Counting: GPS, video everywhere, video calls in WhatsApp and Viber, built-in from now on. Highly battery friendly. Nova launcher in-built, dark theme option
2. NucleaRom
radioactive kernel of the rom is one of the most effective and customize-able, available now for our phone
also a flawless rom, smooth, fast, battery friendly, with all major functions working perfect.
3. AICP 17/7/2017
very similar with the XenonHD, as they both share sources and DEV
looks slightly slower than the first 2 roms, but its a rom you can also very easy use a a daily driver.
These are my personal and only marks about the roms available right now.
The other roms are still to be update, or be tested since they where absent for a while
Dont you think you have to update threads with the new appeared rom(s),
or you are just waiting for them to mature a little more?

I know you are doing great job documentary everything. Users haven't yet understand how great and useful is what you are doing. They will appreciate it eventually
so, new entries this week end. You have a lot work to do.
Waiting to see your very useful information
THANKS again for the great job you are doing
:good::good:
So, 2 new entries this week
Lineage's rom (Tilak's) and RR(hibin.m)
Both are updated with new sources and a lot of fixes in both of them.
Lineage's rom comes prerooted, RR provided 2 versions (prerooted and un rooted) for the user to choose.
I installed lineageSU in unrooted RR rom to have a ,as much as possible , equal base to compere the 2 roms.
What i have found out:
Lineage rom, with iSU on it, passes safety net check.
RR rom, can't pass. CTS profile false.
in Lineage rom GPS fixes in device only scan
In RR GPS is not fixing unless in high accuracy (BT WIFI)
In both roms when trying to do a normal voice call using BT mobile network is restarting , so its impossible to make or receive a call.
Only inbuilt camera is working on both roms
Open camera and Snap camera HDR are crashing
Lineage's rom feels more solid but RR is faster in antutu tests, giving you though a sence of a little instability.
Thats what I manage to understand from last night's testing

Thanks for sharing your findings!
I've updated my N7100 ROMs table accordingly.
Just for the RR GPS: it is working in my installation.
The best indicator is in SatStat, 'Satellites':
- if it shows '-/-', GPS is not working
- if it shows '0/0', GPS is working, and is just a matter of patience (and free sky) to get the satellite signals.

yes, you are right.
It took me some more time and a lot of open space, but finally got it FIXED.
Looks like first time takes a little more time when in device only mode
Have anyone tried flashing the Treble roms on to the P20 lite? If yes, please share with us which ROM and how good/bad it is.
Seems like Treble ROMs are the way forward since we do not see custom development happening anytime soon.
In case you are unfamiliar with Treble, please read Treble FAQ
Treble ROMs can be downloaded from the forum
I'm in the openkirin group in telegram, being so far I think the only lineageOs tester with Android 8.1 in the p20 lite and so far the only serious problem is the camera
If we talk about other aspects, the navigation bar is still a bit smaller than the notch, the contacts of the Sim card are nonexistent, you can not change the internal storage to the SD card and finally the facial recognition is not enabled
Edit: full screen display mode is available, but you have to activate it manually from the settings (applications that do not appear in full screen do not give the option to adapt them as it does in stock)
I tried Lineage and RR (v22) from phhusson as well as the official RR which i use as a daily driver. They work mostly fine except for some minor issues... Music usually plays through the speakers even when headphones are plugged in and it sometimes randomly stops. When charging while turned off, the device boots into eRecovery. The notch is not really supported but RR allows you to move the clock to the left. This way, icons are less likely to be hidden behind the notch. Additionally there are some rom-specific bugs like some settings not doing anything in RR. Battery life is pretty good (I dont use gapps).
The issues will probably get fixed eventually when someone provides logs.
Is the official better than the phhusson one ?
I tried it and was not can of it I think P will be better for the Huawei P20 because of the notch support and navbar replacement by touch gestures.
I tried RR, AOSP, Pixel Experience and Los.
Too much broken features to use it as a daily driver.
For the moment I run the stock rom debloated with adb.

I didnt notice any difference between the phhusson RR build and the official one so far. RR has several options to replace the navbar too btw. I personally use fling which is highly customizable. There is also the option to use edge gestures or a pie menu. System wide gestures are available too but can only be used to launch apps.

Basically all the problems I mentioned before. But those are the same with all treble roms I tried. Generally RR seems less polished than Lineage and some features are broken, e.g. dark theme in settings. Nothing critical though... However, I only tested the stuff I commonly use (calling, wifi, bluetooth etc. works fine for me).
Someone on phhussons Github reported that his P20 lite overheats when fast charging but for me it works flawlessly.
I don't see the P20 lite as being "treble" supported at this time. What am I missing? I would love to get vinalla android on this and give the device some performance improvements.

Oh the P20lite very much supports Treble. You can check on your own device using a terminal app, type:
Code:
getprop ro.treble.enabled
If the result is true, Treble is supported.
or if you're rooted, simply open the build.prop file (at your own risk!) and check.
Alternately, here is a page with a list of Treble supported devices:
Treble devices list
I do not understand much about treble, but I want my device to always have the latest android available, does your comment means that I can have that in my P20 lite?
Here is a very detailed description of Treble.
Link
Treble is aimed to provide updates to all the devices that support treble at the same time. Since P20 is already shipped with the latest android version, it is irrelevant at this time. But in case you want to flash third party ROMs such as Lineage, there are Treble version of these ROMs that are common for all the Treble devices.
The problem I ran into was the notch.
Obviously these ROMs don't support it really. So notifications go all the way along the top.
Did I miss something?

Yes they don't really support the notch. This is because these ROMs are for all the Brands/models that support Treble and most of them don't have a notch.

hello, please describe to me the procedure you used to return to the rom stock?

Hi,
All is in the title: between Resurrection Remix 6.2.1 or LineageOS 15.1, what would you choose (or have already chosen) for a Lenovo P2?
I look for stability, bug free and secure rom.

Well I have used both I can share my experience.
1. Stability wise both are nearly same as RR is Los based and uses Mike's source. Personally, I did not find any issue on both regarding stability.
2. Both share the same wifi deep sleep bug. I did not find anything else.
3. Both are big names, so nothing to worry about who is more secure. But in Los SELinux status is enforcing while its premissive on other. So, better to go with Los here.
But Los lacks customisation.They are removing so called feature with every release. On the other hand RR have tons of them.
Hope this helps!
SELinux is Enforcing in RR. Whereas, Video capture and Slow motion capture is available in RR only. I don't know if LOS and other ROMs have catch up or not as I'm on RR for quite some time now. Deep sleep bug can be controlled by switching WiFi tethering On and Off after using WiFi.
Android is all about customization and RR is what Android needs to be!
My bad if its Enforcing in RR.
Yes RR have tons customisation which also I mentioned earlier.
But I dont think RR would be more stable as it also uses Mike's source and also strongly believe Los will support those camera features. Obsession is right but U can't ignore the big elephant in the room i.e LOS here.
Hahahaha.. No one is obsessed here, only experienced here. Why would a guy leave its fully stable stock ROM for a dull and feature less ROM which doesn't give stable experience, eats battery and lacks customization :silly:
If I am not wrong then AOSP is even bigger elephant but nobody cares.
?? If it was experience then u would have not termed it as unstable and battery drainer.
I use Los and I know how it works.
Yeah! RR is a great Rom but that don't make others unworthy.
What you think
What about liquid remix custom rom
RR is stable and comes with tones of customization. My favorite is the edge guesters which provides a truly botton less navigation experience.
Never liked LOS much because of lack of customizations. Mike has done an amazing job with it. Too bad that apart from RR no one else use his sources for making ROMs.
Cr Droid 9.0 pie is better
I tried all Roms but c4 Droid is better rom
For Oreo: CrDroid is the best option, also don't forget to flash highwstar's camera(Only use VERSION v2-7.1, it's for nougat and oreo). fix. As well as Astrids Video recording fix. So that every camera works. (Photo and Video recording, also no wrong time shown after recording video)
For Pie: Every Rom build after the 24.11 is good. And don't forget to flash video recording fix! Only that one is needed.
Video Recording Fix: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/themes/fix-video-recording-t3811600
Main Camera fix (for nougat and oreo): https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...enovo-p2-kuntao-main-camera-fix-hal3-t3819258
As the title suggests. Also how would one know if a rom is caf based. So far I've only found pa topaz to be caf based
@Term1nator3000
as far as I know ReloadedOS is..... I'll link it here
Edit: I saw this from the unanswered questions page, you would need one for the 7t. I'm sorry.
Maybe ArrowOS would work?
Thanks for your reply will take a look
Edit: no support for this device
Sorry… was just about to say that after checking it just now. The reason I suggested it is that it has a ton of back ports from caf (or it did last year… )
Is there a reason you want caf specifically? I’ve never seen any noticeable performance/battery difference in general usage between los/aosp vs caf.
IME the best rom in terms of smoothness and general polish is PixelExperience
Pixel experience gave me magisk errors, I couldn't hide it from banking apps no matter what. And couldn't install dolby or customize to my liking.
Im currently on ancient os which is best one I've tried so far with plenty of customization and magisk hide is successful. Also has dolby support however theres no vibration working at all and speaker overall sounds very quiet. I even managed to change boot animation!
I've always read that caf uses Qualcomm drivers which are better suited for battery, reliability and generally has less bugs hence stock roms are based off it. I do like oo12 deposit many others don't so i might just modify that and try and get custom viper/dolby just the brightness issue is super annoying af.
I remember back in the days there used to be oos based roms but debloat+ added features on OP3T. They were the best!
I just bought a second hand Poco F3 6Gb+128 and I would like as soon as I get it to install a Custom ROM because I'm tired of miui, what is your recommendation? I am looking for stability, possibly be years with the same rom installed, and above all a great battery life, I have read some names like Arrow Os, CrDroid or Pixel Experience, and if it were not too much to ask I would like to leave some post to the best gcam for this phone.
Thank you very much for answering <3

Best custom rom
Hey, I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now...

Crdroid is best for me at the moment. Easy installation and lots customisation.
I'm happy with Arrow OS 13.0, though I'd heard that Paranoid Android (AOSPA) Topaz is even better. I might switch to that soon, myself!
I'm big into battery life. Arrow does great, though AOSPA is supposedly exceptional. CrDroid, as Gurkut mentioned, is great for customization and features, though not so much for battery.

I am a Evo-X patron, Evo-X for me is Amazing and the most polished, but i also like to tinker with other roms as well.
My Favourite roms i keep saved on my USB Stick in conjunction with a OTG adaptor are (in order) No.1 Evo-X, No.2 Voidui, No.3 Nusantara-v5.6,
No.4 crDroid (CRD is also very polished), N0.5 ProjectElixir 3.7
It is great to see new Devs resurrecting out dated roms for our great device.

I've been switching between crdroid and pixel os over the last 6 months and those are among the most polished and complete ROM for our Device. Also crdroid dev has been among the first to provide a custom ROM for Poco F3 2 years ago and keep supporting it which is exceptional. Alas both of them have some tiny bugs (bt or Netflix stuttering) on last releases. Thanks to you johnr64 I've tried nusantara (lots of customisation) on which I had some random freezes/reboots so I gave it up. Now I am experiencing voidui which is quite in the same spirit than pixelos: really close to stock with a few tweaks. It doesn't have Leica cam which isn't a big deal for me since gcam have improved a lot.
Voidui is REALLY smooth out of the box compared to a lot of other roms, it is a pity there ain't any thread on XDA for it (I am not a telegram person). I've installed it via skkk twrp , factory reset , rebooting twrp and flashing DfE then rebooting to system with no issues. Restoring from previous Google backup worked.
Hi Nicky69100,
I never did telegram until i got nagged at by my Family, then after speaking to my girls regarding TG and Custom Rom threads i took the plunge, Signing up to the Evo-X thread first and then crDROID & Voidui.
I am old and first started playing with custom roms (Mods) on a Nokia and then move on to a HTC Wildfire, Samsung's, i gave with sammys after they introduced the 0X1 e-fuse and the awful KNOX, i then moved on to LG.
My FIRST EVER new phone was the F3 (What an amazing device for the price) i looked long and hard before i spent my £££, taking in to consideration the ease of unlocking the bootloader and the DEV support, I am so pleased that i made the right decision for me.
For me the bench mark Custom rom is Evo-X,
Aggelos is a great DEV and is contactable most of the time on the "Early release group" and the Evo-X TG Threads,
of course, Life, University and a GF can some times get in the way.
The customisations i look for are, Smart Charging, Battery Bar, edge lighting, coloured icons in the task bar and the ability to run "Xiaomi Super Live Wallpapers"
below are a few rom i have tried recently,
BananaDroid is looking more polished as it is now a official rom, for me it lacks "Smart Charging" at the moment.
Cherishos (Official) Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar, its great to see that SMART CHARGING is WORKING , Hung Pang is the lead Dev for Cherishos and the F3.
Derpfest by Carrotgarden, Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar and Smart Charging.
Pixel Extended, is to close to stock for me and lacks customisation.
SuperiorOS, Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar and Smart Charging.
Stalix is a nice rom from a new DEV, it can now be installed thru Standard Recovery, it is still lacking in customisation, but it`s still early days.
Rising o/s nice looking rom, Smart Charge is not working, it Zapped 63% of my Battery in half a day, this was the First Rom for me (EVER) to do this.
Skyline is still in Beta and lacks customisation.
Voltage o/s (Unofficial), lacks customisation.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL THE DEVS FOR ALL THERE HARD WORK AND FOR MAKING OUR F3 AMAZING

Hi, it's a bit offtopic but can you tell me what version of twrp do you use to flash roms, because The ones I used showed that internal storage "data" is encrypted,and it didn't decrypt even after entering my lock screen pin.

Hi,

Like it was already referred here, it depends on what you're looking for on a rom.
If you like a pixel feel (usually more stable and battery friendly roms) go for arrow, void, paranoid Android (these 3 have the best feedback), pixel os, etc.
If you care about customization and messing around with features, I suggest you to go to CR, ghostdroid (I'm using this one right now. Very cool and promising rom), rising, ancient, derpfest, Evo, nusantara, etc. The list is huge, because we have the luck of our device be one of the ones with more development, probably of ever.
Have to give a huge Thank you to our great developers and maintainers out there
If you wanna get into more and stay fully updated, I too advise to go to TG. There's rom updates on a almost daily basis
