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
Info:
Target Device: SM-T560NU only (gtelwifiue)
OS: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Variant: LineageOS 13.0
Status: Usable as daily driver, but still to be considered experimental
This project is a side project of mine to bring Lineage 13.0 back to the SM-T560NU.
I recently purchased one of these, and use a few apps that have not been updated in years. These apps do not work on Nougat, therefore I needed Marshmallow.
vince2678 had a great Lineage 13.0 build, but had started to shift his efforts towards the more popular and updated Android Nougat by the time that I got this tablet. vince had started to warn that he was going to be dropping Marshmallow to focus on Nougat.
Therefore, using his code base, and attempting to apply some more modern patches to keep Lineage 13.0 up to date, I started creating my own builds in private. There was one single, obsecure link to it, on my website, and it was discovered. Since the community has shown interest in this project, and vince has now officially dropped support for 13.0, I am willing to release my private builds.
Please keep in mind that while vince's builds were designed to be as stock as possible, my builds are tailored towards my needs.
They are not perfect, but they work for me. There are still some issues to be ironed out, and sometimes new issues sneak in when you think you are just building a security update
But, since you wanted them, here they are. At the time of this post there is only one, but this will grow over time, when I have spare time to try to fix any issues and apply security updates.
All builds use my optimized kernel.
Releases and known issues:
You can find my builds over at:
https://losupd.zefie.net/builds/full/?C=M;O=D
lineage-13.0_j199_20170720
Android Security Patch Level: July 1, 2017
USB MIDI Support (example video of controlling Logic Pro X with the SM-T560NU)
No changes to previous issues in this build (same issues apply)
lineage-13.0_j196_20170617
Android Security Patch Level: June 1, 2017
AudioFX is missing (disabled in build due to unsolved issue in ROM causing crashes)
Updater is untested. You may or may not get a notification when a new build is available.
Flashing the recovery that comes with these builds is advised against. It may work but is untested. Use my TWRP Build.
Device encryption does not yet work
There is a strange issue that prevents you from taking still images using the built-in camera app. Preview and video works. As a workaround, use any third party camera app. I suggest Open Camera.
Just flashed it, everything works great so far.
Ive tried and liked very much
Smooth and lightweight
So far for me the camera dont work but i can record video
Also the encrypt tablet option does not seem to work (I select the option in the security part of the settings screen, it restarts tablet and thats it)
Other than that it seems to be perfect
Thanks for all the hard work

I knew about the encryption but the camera issue is interesting and strange. I just tried it and see what you mean.
I will see what I can do about these issues in the next update, which will probably be mid-august.
Thanks for the report.
The issue seems to be with the Camera app itself, and not any issues with communicating with the hardware (despite the error message), since other camera apps appear to work fine.
In the mean time, if you would like to take still images with this build, I would suggest this great and free (ad free as well) camera app from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
I have just tested it (with both rear and front cameras) and it can take still images.
560?
Is it compatible with T560 only ? Whats the difference between T560 and T560NU maybe US Market? or what the difference and where i can get a custom Recovery for the Tab?

This is for the T560NU only, not T560. From what I know they have entirely different processors so there is no way for a universal ROM.
Thanks for this amazing rom. I noticed following: can't change the size of analog clock and sound on the speaker is not very strong.

The clock issue is likely upstream, since I can't think of anything I did that would prevent resizing of widgets, and other widgets appear to be resizable.
But I will look into it.
Speaker issue noted, there was some issue with the internal mic being too low that I tweaked, I may have to check the values for the speaker.
Edit: personal tests show speaker volume is fine. any louder could damage the speaker. if the volume is low, check that the tablet is not laying on a soft surface or something that would otherwise muffle the speaker in the back. When not obstructed, the speaker volume seems fine to me.
Any progress on Audio FX and Camera issues?

Unfortunately I have not had the time to work on this in a while. When I don't have time I just update the source and build (and hope it works) for the security updates. This only takes a couple of minutes as the build process does all the work. One should be coming in the next few weeks. Once the automated build finishes, I test it locally for about an hour and if its good, I release it.
I am not sure when I will have time to actually sit and go through the code to try to debug it to fix the outstanding issues. This can take hours or even days of dedicated time which I just don't have at the moment due to trying to keep my bills paid.
Stay tuned to this thread for updates though, and I apologize for the delay.

After uninstalling 3rd party music app, volume is good again.
EDIT:
Unfortunately I am discontinuing this ROM. I made this ROM for my personal use, and it is no longer useful to me, and I do not have the time to debug it. Therefore, I am discontinuing it. The current builds and source will remain up, and if you guys are not having the issues I am having, and would like me to continue doing security updates, I will, so long as it still compiles without much work on my part.
There will be no updates to the existing issues though.
Despite my previous aversion to Android N, I would highly suggest vince's Lineage OS 14.1 builds. They have come a long way since I last tried them, and Android N isn't so bad after all
I haven't gotten a chance to do a logcat or anything, but I'm getting an instant bootloop after installing Nova Launcher.
It wasn't an issue until Nova updated a few weeks ago, and it affects both your builds. That's my favorite launcher, but I guess I can live without it
EDIT: I see that you're discontinuing this, so I guess this post is more of an FYI to other users.
I have tried Pie roms but they are not as stable as Oreo. Especially in games like PUBG where there are glitches.
Anyone else on a stable Oreo rom? Which rom and why? (Do mention Android version to avoid confusion.)

I'm on bootleggers 3.0 last oreo build with derp 2.8 Kernel i tried almost all ths oreo ROMs and this one is my favorite , you should try it once :good:
yes,
I am using Cardinal AOSP and pretty much happy with this ROM ! :fingers-crossed:
you can try it
Yaps i still on orea , i have tried most of pie rom available for our device but all of them has some kind of glitches and not enough customization as in oreo ,so i will stay in oreo untill pie rom as stable as oreo and has enough customization.
yep, still using aosip oreo rom, it's the first rom i flash after unlocking bootloader, pretty much stable for my daily use
I'm still on AOSiP Oreo, pretty much since I've bought the phone back in June (used RR for some 10 days maybe), and have briefly tried Pixel Experience, but back when it just came out.
Oreo roms are still more stable than Pie, although for my kind of usage I could even go for Pie, but I don't want to give up Xposed just yet.
It would be nice to have another update for Oreo roms with updated blobs, but I guess exactly 0 devs share this opinion so there's that.
@Cirra92
What"s wrong with AOSP PIE roms ? I"m using PE right now. Apart from "not perfect" standby battery drain, broken manual network selection, broken 5GHz hotspot and that time when MIUI camera refused to record a video (fixed it by rebooting the phone) there isn"t much to complain about. PIE roms seems stable to me

Well I didn't state anywhere that they are unstable, I have just said that Oreo roms are still more stable which means more refined and bugs (mostly, or at least the major noticeable ones) ironed out. You have named couple of bugs already, there are also couple of bigger ones, not supported SD card formats, unstable network handoffs (4G->3G->2G), some roms have WiFi bugs. And that's normal, count in the time put in Oreo roms, and on the other hand Pie roms, as with each major Android release, new bugs arrive, some harder to fix, some easier.
And another note I want to make (mentioned in previous post) that for my particular usage, Pie roms are probably suitable enough, though it depends when will I decide to switch and give up on GravityBox and XInsta (mainly the latter).
Pie roms are certainly getting polished, and are already daily driver material for most people, but still, not everyone.
Revolution OS in combination with latest Deep Kernel.
Perfect for me. Smooth, no lags, fast and awesome battery life
I'm seeing lot's of posts about LE2123, LE2120, LE2125 being upgraded to android 12, with lots of people experiencing issues with unstable phones. Please humour me by answering this simple poll.
I would wait a while before updating. 12 has been a bomb and 11 isn't much better across all device manufacturers. No easy fixes.
Let Mikey try it...
You might get more useful info with a poll asking whether people experienced issues. After following several threads across various sites, I'm convinced that only a small minority have actually experienced "issues" (as in, something legit broken). The other vocal folks are just complaining that a feature was removed or changed and they don't like it. It's no different than every other major release.
Every major version is going to be a bit different from the previous one (that's the whole point of the new version number), and there's always a small risk and a small percentage of people who experience issues (which are almost always resolved by a wipe or clean flash). That's why OP tells you to back up your data before upgrading.
I updated to A12 and I am able to see some differences.
1. I've got 5g, volte and vowifi finally (5g on scnd SIM slot)
2. DPI is messed up in certain apps and options.
3. Battery life is worse (but I've been using stock kernel on A11, so this could make a difference)
4. I like A12s way to grant permissions.
Was it worth update? If you like your phone up to date - yes. If you care about system stability and look, stick with A11 until fixed A12 shows up.
It's not a coincidence that OP suspended A12 update. They see it was not ready.
My phone is OP 9 pro EU version. Did wipe it after update.
OnePlus is pulling its OxygenOS 12 update for the OP 9 and 9 Pro

Good thing they pulled it before our OnePlus9Pro forum blew up!
I have the le2123 and I have encountered so many bugs. I did a wipe data and now all seems to make sense.
Now I'm pretty happy with this update. Let's see the battery in the next days.

Nice to hear, did they deliver on the throttling?

I think yes? Found this option "high performance option" system always run at max performance.
When enable it an icon in the status bar appears but I think they forgot to change the style of the icon because it's a little oversized.
Apart from that after wipe no more glitched animation, more smoothness in all the operations, allarm clock work, icons and font now are ok and layout too (before i have mismatched dpi in various apps), keyboard now have the button for pull down (before there isn't). The only thing now it's Netflix on platstore, it say device not support.
Rooted with success with no problem, magisk hide works and installed Netflix with apk works too.
Hello,
I have a question for experienced Armi users. What is the fastest and most responsive mod to date on Armani? (January 2023)
I know it's a very old phone with 1gb of memory, but maybe you have some good experiences with well optimised mods?
What I care most about is that the touch is responsive.
I am currently using LineageOS 18.1 and unfortunately it is very slow. Opening applications and just clicking is laggy, it has a delay of about 5 to 10 seconds
Don't get mad because I don't expect miracles. I want to know your opinion and your experience of using mods on Armani with a focus on speed
I'm using LOS 14.1 official. It's very responsive but quite old.
