What is the fastest ROM? Plus the kernel to go with it? And maybe not stock so I can install supercharge easily? Please provide links, thanks in advance!
GB roms are probably 'fastest' at the moment, probably the fastest is cm7, it's kernel is in the download zip. I found arconium and SE tweaked at least as good, and there are several others which also use doom's kernel. I'm running cm9 just now, links are in the signature. To be honest it's better to try roms yourself as the difference can be nothing more than theming.
Hi!
What is better:
The official Samsung stock ROM or a custom ROM? And if second one, which? CM?
I ask this cause I heard that custom ROMs don't have that much support for the S-Pen. And no Multi-Window.
go for stock firmware. I was custom rom flash addict but after i got note2, i choose stock firmware+custom kernel
Me too. In the past devices i go for custom rom for it speed which varies alot from stock. But on the sgn2 i no longer need that as its fast as it is. I just keep to deodexed stock rom with mods which suits my needs.

+1 for me.. Stock deodexed with a custom kernel to get faster charging etc, I see no need to overclock with a device this fast :good:
But don't forget to disable all the lame bloatware too.
Could you link me to that custom kernel?
Are there any downsides to the custom kernel? Faster charging sounds nice.
That heavily depends on what you want. If you like some of the Samsung-specific functionality like S-Pen, Quick Glance and so on, you want to stay stock or flash one of the nice and debloated custom ROMS based on stock. My favorite is HyperNote, but I think it doesn't meet all your requirements.
If you want it even faster and like the Cyanogen-specific style, try any of these ROMS (hint: HyperDroid).
But there is no "need" to make the stock faster, as with this kind of RAM and CPU power, everything will just work fine. Best to make a backup before flashing and just trying some ROMs on your own. Have fun
Just get a deodexed stock rom and you will have everything you need.
What devs do is change the roms and repack it for flashing.
And in my case half of them aren't exactly what I need or are useless.
You can apply all those mods to yours without any data loss
And it's fun :beer:

I've not experienced any downsides, plus it patches the Exynos bug. You are trusting someone other than Samsung to control the internals of your device, but Im happy with that. I do get a random reboots now and then, like once every couple of days but I suspect its unrelated, and I do like to tinker with my device. Phones these days are actually computers and do trip up every now and then.
I use the Perseus kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852
I really would't worry about it. If you don't find it useful you can just flash the stock kernel back, no halm done.
Stock rom and kernel are good. The note 2 doesn't need a rom to be more fast or stable.
But for me is important choose the application that runs on my phone as system app. So I need root privileges.
Then I found some roms that had stock things without a lot of S.h.i.t. that samsung have to put into our device for marketing purposes.
And so now for me is better a custom rom because you know what there is and what is running on at least.
Should be in the question section.
Stock custom rom.
It's usually updated to the latest Samsung version, can be modded and has loads of tweaks
Hi i use omega v10 with redpill kernal and every thing works fine battery live is amazing and the rom still has all stock feutures
Yes I have searched, and yes I understand that my firmware version must match the kernel I'm trying to flash, but my question is unique, I have yet to find an answer.
Basically I want to flash a kernel that is kompatible with my current rooted stock ROM, so I kan keep all my data, but utilize some of the CPU tweaking governors and I/O kontrollers that other kernels use.
If the kernel says TouchWiz, does that make it kompatible with my stock ROM?
I don't need any new features or a kolor make over from flashing a new ROM, but I would like better battery life and maybe more kontrol over my CPU speed and voltage.
Also, is GB REALLY the way to go for battery life? How would I go about keeping all my kurrent data, but moving to a GB ROM or kernel?
Thank you for your tyme in this matter.

TouchWiz kernels, will work with with stock as far as i know. check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284 for info on different types of kernels. Some of the installs allow you to keep data as well. And from what i hear GB is the way to go on this phone, best battery life and best overall user experience on this phone. Ive never ran GB on it, but have come across alot of threads where people are praising GB over ICS and JB for this phone.

If I'm kurrently on STOCK ROM, with AGAT recovery, is it possible to just flash over to a GB Kernel or ROM? and keep data? I'm really just looking for a solution to keep all my apps+data and have either a Kernel or ROM that improves battery life. (I enjoy klipping my Otter Box Defender and walking around with Pandora playing.)
I've also read about backing up apps with Titanium or a similar program, flashing to a new ROM, then restoring the apps+data, is that something that would work in this situation? Again, I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before, but I feel like my situation is unique in the sense of keeping my data, and not really needing the extra bells and whistles of a new ROM.

Just because a kernel says TouchWiz it does not mean it is compatible with any TouchWiz rom. The kernel should be one that is made for the specific Android version of the rom.
There are aosp Jelly Bean roms now that have battery life that is comparable to GB. Baked Blackbean by sniper, Magical Unicorn by ktempleton, and Wild For The Night by dastin 1015 are excellent roms. Also MotoBlur'd Jelly Bean by bilgerryan which is based on Wild For The Night is excellent.
I have tried the stock JB roms and always come back to the aosp roms. They are so much smoother.
Do not try do use a GB kernel on an ICS or JB rom.
I always use Titanium Backup to restore apps and app data after doing a clean rom installation. Do not restore system data with Titanium Backup, only app data.
Just follow the installation instructions for the rom you want to install and you shouldn't have any trouble.

Well, I'll look around at some JB AOSP ROMs but might try a GB rom to see the difference. Another quick question, will my Titanium App Backups work when moving from ICS to GB?
Yes. Except apps that don't support gb. Like chrome.

KingUniverse the only way to safely keep data/app data between kernel flashes is when staying within the same type of kernel, ex.ics to ics JB to JB, when you go cross build like ics to JB or JB to Gb your data will make a mess of your phone. App data can be forgiving at times but sometimes it can create all kinds of issues.
Best example is the one clicks, they always caution about using "no data" (keeps your data) only if coming from same build type (Ics to Ics JB to JB) so you dont bork.

I've had CM10 on my GS3 for while now, ever since December I believe. Even before then, I didn't do much in the way of ROM stuff or even coming here to XDA. I've recently flashed back to Blazer ROM in order to PRL/Profile update and I'm seeing all of this stuff about update MB1.
Could anyone recommend me a ROM similar to Blazer that is based on MB1?
Just go through the development section and find one that catches your eye
SPRINT GS3 FAQ
Thanks for the reply. I did look through the list of ROMs.
I was digging more for personal opinions, though.

I haven't flashed a TW-based Rom in quite a while. If you really like Blazer Rom and don't really care for the update from LJ7 to MB1, you can just edit the build.prop to disable the OTA notifications. It's easy to do, and CNexus has a good tutorial on his OTA Guide Sticky Thread.
Other than that, after looking through the Developer's Thread, most of the Roms there offer similar experiences to Blazer Rom. A lot of the custom Mods incorporated in Blazer are pretty standard on TW-based Roms nowadays. Blazer might have had a really stable, battery-saving reputation, but with most MB1 Roms you can get really good battery life (even without flashing a custom kernel, although they can help a great deal with battery life).
After all that, I haven't done what you asked, which is point you in the direction of one (or two) Roms you'd like. I honestly am not able to. If you really want some TW MB1 Rom suggestions, I'd start with the following (in no particular order):
The People's Rom
Clean Bean
Goodness Reborn
MOAR Rom
Team Venom Odex Blue Holy Grail
And there are a lot of other great Roms out there. You can see my sig for my curent setup. It's AOSP-based and has been running really solid recently.

I downloaded stock rooted and CleanBean, so I'll probably check out CleanBean. The only reason I want to update to MB1 is the multi-window. Outside of that, something that has good battery life and allows me to switch the CPU governor to conservative.

Just so you're aware, the MA6 and MB1 updates did not include multi-window. All of the Roms with multi-window are based on the international update, which included the Premium Suite.
It does not change your assessment, as LJ7 (and prior) Roms won't have multi-window, but it's just so you're aware that stock MB1 Roms won't have any of the premium suite additions.
If you flash an MB1 rom that doesn't have multiwindow, there's a flashable that adds that feature to any stock-based MB1 rom
After playing with roms, I think I'm going back to the official rom however, can someone suggest the best official rom with lowest amount of bloatware please?.
