Sick of Stock Rom - Galaxy Note II General

I've been running on the stock rooted version of my Note 2 for well over a year now. I'm done with it. Been really buggy as of late.
I'm curious what recommendations people have for a good rom that's uses touch whiz and still maintains most of the same functionality of the stock rom.
I used to flash different roms on my S1 and S2. I fell out of the loop due to not wanting to run things that weren't stable.
Ideally I'd like to be able to restore my data through the all in one tool that I just backed up my data through. Any advice would be great, in general I'm extremely confused as to which direction to go at this point.

Hello, Looks like I shall be joining you all with a S3. =)

Well tm I get my Pebble Blue S3 and then I get to have fun modding and tweaking it. Sadly last night my G1 was stolen.. sigh.. my 4 year old phone. Least I managed to talk T-Mobile into getting me the S3 for my upgrade for 130$. Woot.
So I hear CM10 is actually the best way to go with S3 as of now? Nice and smooth?
Anyways wanted to say Hi and will look forward to posting with you all tm after ups bring me it. =)
I'm weird and actually like the stock from on this one... and I usually go straight to AOSP. Try it stock rooted for 24 hours and then go from there

Welcome to the magic world of the Galaxy S3!
Well....it's a matter of choice really!
I used to use cm9 because cm10 has a memory bug that requires you to reboot the phone once in a while...
I switched back to stock though...
For me it's better than cm because my music sounds better on stock,the camera is much better and also it has great deals in samsung apps!
For example you can get Modern Combat 3,Asphalt 7,Shadowgun and Virtua tennis all for free!
Try using foxhound ics ron which has reached a final stage and is perfect!
I use that combined with siyah kernel and i am a very veryyy happy man!
Try it and you'll remember me...
I wouldn't recommend using jellybean leaks because they are buggy....never the less the official update will come very soon,i think you should wait a liltle bit!

The last JB leak is not "buggy" at all. It is pretty good.

Congratulations on your s3 but this is wrong section mate. From what I see you are getting a t mobile s3. Unless you want a paperweight with 5 inch screen you may want to stay away from this international forum.

Ill keep it in mind about the ICS one. Also Ive seen reports about the CM10 being ASOP. And that its smooth as butter without a memory problem. However if you are saying stock is nice. Idk, hard to say lol. Well wait, no I may not stay with stock. Anyone know if stock has cifs.ko support in its kernel? That to me is a vital part of any rom I get.. and with a device with HDMI output.. yea, network files for videos is good. (And not just DLNA)
Yea if I used my G1 for 4 years (Along with others in my sig for playing around with) then I can only imagine how well this device will serve me. Also I should be able to use Splashtop 2 or Splashtop HD shouldnt I since this has a high resolution?
Edit: Wait so this isnt the right forum for T-Mobiles S3? (Curse you google xda search for forum section)
Search the original android development for cifs.ko mate...
Now if you want hdmi like me stay away from aosp...
It's not supported and most likely never will be...
Latest leak is abs RC ,4.1.1 and reccomending totaly

YOU ARE JOT IN THE RIGHT SGS3 FORUM!
There is a T-Mobile forum for you. Please go there before ruin your phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
CM10 is pure stock android with all the touchwiz stuff removed which means all of touchwiz features like smart stay,motion controls,the great camera app,pop up play etc are not there.If you think you will actually need these features,better stay with stock(or stock based custom ROMs,I'm sure you can find some nice ones in t-mobile S3 section).
Ok I found the T-Mobile forum.. but seems its being built. Dont even see an Android Development section yet? Man this is gonna be confusing in the morning when I try to work on this..

Whatever you do stay away from international forum...!!! You won't go into galaxy nexus and flash a nexus Rom to your t mobile gs3, will you? In the same way you shouldn't go and flash the international i9300 Rom... you have been warned!

Actually its she, and yes, I do study before flashing. Im not new here people Which is why I came and said "Hello" =p Tho this forum separating thing is confusing.. not sure what rom is ideal now.. Seems the international section is better handled atm lol. (So dont worry, not gonna flash here)
Basic problem is despite a sticky lots of NA users flash I9300 firmware and end up with a bricked phone .You would be surprised how many actually have done that very trick .

Looking for a good ROM

Hey guys, how are you?
I bought my SGS3 a few month ago. Since than I've been constantly looking for the best ROM.
I want a ROM with very good battery life, and I also want it to run smoothly.
Version 4.1.2 or above.
Also, if a kernel is necessary please tell me which kernel to use.
Thank you very much,
Orel/Xeiss.

What phone did you had before? I've currently a iPhone 4S and I'm looking to get a galaxy s3 because I'm sick of apple -.- was it easy getting used to? I also plan to install a custom rom as my old HTC was rooted
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Unfortunately best ROM threads are banned on XDA and this will be locked shortly , the reason being a certain ROM might be good for you may not be good for someone else.
All as you will be told is to go and try many different one and see which Is best for you.
Good luck.

I've had a Mini Galaxy before (Not the one that was just released)
I personally prefer Android than iOS. It wasn't really hard to get used to, In 1-3 days you'll become a master
If someone would suggest me to get an iPhone 5 instead of my SGS3, he won't live anymore
Ho watch some YouTube videos and decide. Good luck!
BTW thabka for telling me Motogp1, I'll do it. Moderators, if you can please lock this thread without banning me if would be great, I'm new here and I really don't want to get a ban right off the bed Thanks.
Just another last question, what's the difference between the forums Android Development, and Original Android Development?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I would suggest starting with "Android Development" section for ROMs. Try them and find which suits you best.

Here you go!
Ultima rom v7.1 ( official 4.1.2)
Use it with persues kernel 29.1
Below are my results!
You're welcome.

Best advice anyone can give a newbie is to read first, had the op done so he would have seen these threads are prohibited and also a waste of time.

You can try Ultima ROM. It looks and feels good.
You may try siyah, perseus,boeffla, galaxsih kernel and suit yourself.
Also look for wanam's deodexed stock roms.
Took me about a week to get used to from iPhone was rooted trying custom roms very easy but figured I didn't need all that so now just on stock 4.1.2 and loving it battery life is great.

[Q] What's the best ROM for Galaxy S4?

Wanted to check in and see what others thought in regards to best ROM out there for Galaxy S4
This all depends on what YOU like. I may like something that you don't. So its all dependent on what your looking for in a ROM and what things you like and don't like. Colors and bloat ware and mods and things like that make each ROM different.
Sent from my SGS4. Go Blue!! Buck the Fuc keyes!!
Flash Roms that attract you and find out.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Stock. Yes, really. From my experience with the S3, all custom ROMs and kernels made the performance and battery life far worse. And some of the color schemes the devs use are very unappealing. Just root the stock ROM and enjoy the performance and stability as Samsung intended it to be. Your phone is a device that shopuld work for you, not the other way around.

What roms is yall rocking?

trying to decide which rom to use, itll be my first EVER! .. what yall using? what yall like about its. i have an att version rooted. thanks! so far leaning towards power user edition rom, feel like clean rom is what i have already cause i debloated a bit or is there more to it than that?
Sorry but you must have got confused which forum you're on. This isn't the Galaxy s4 forum.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
What indicates that he was looking for an S4 forum? Both roms he mention are G2.
i wouldnt think theres much of a difference in the roms except some mods which you can add on yourself thru stock rom
These roms are early builds and dont contain much, im staying on stock for now.
Malladus 1.1.3
Pretty sweet so far. Although I dream of AOKP on this someday...lol

Same here, it's quite decent so far.

[Q] What is your favorite rom?

I haven't seen a thread discussing the best roms for the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 yet. Is this the right place to post this? I'm currently on the Neon Rom because it's very light. What's your favorite rom and why? I like testing out all roms but wanted to know what everyone else thinks.
Eclipse. I doubt that's going to change either. Having an actual AOSP feel while maintaining Touchwiz is truly the best of both worlds.

Same here. CleanRom from SG3, SG4 (but Scott stopped supporting the S4), now Note 3.
Been on Jelly Beans for a month. Just switched to Baja and like the stock them just a little bit better. Either way all these ROMs are great. Pretty much the same. 4.3 Touch wiz

Best is what you like, and only the individual knows what is best for them - try them all, they are all here due to the hard work from the members who contribute.
