Hello all
i have just been given a samsung galaxy note and would like to know your opinions on the fastest custom ROMS/Kernals ideally i am interested
in speed and battery life. what experiences have you guys had with modding your galaxy notes ?
any feedback as to your opinions of different ROMS is appreciated
-Cheers lads
The predictable Cyanogen answer with all based on Cyanogen.
Easy to flash, stock, fast, light on the battery, has the cooler stock Android ICS look. CM10 coming 'round the corner with JellyBean.
Not recommended for those that love TouchWiz and things like S-Memo.
Well at first i was scared of flashing CM based roms cuz i thought i.d loose s.memo.....but then i took the plunge n believe me m really happy with it.....

You may please search the forum, as a ROM poll is going on.
This post does not belong in the development section. Mods may please shift it to General Section

You've got a few S-Pen tuned alternatives, like Papyrus. But the gain in performance and battery is really good when you compare it to TouchWiz ROMs. Adding the fact that IT'S SAFE, meaning you can flash/wipe all you want (the CM team did a WAY better job than Samsung on that) and...the choice is pretty obvious for me, really...
If you're going to look into TouchWiz ROMs, make sure you either choose one with a safe kernel included or flash a safe kernel afterwards (I think speedmod...??? Not really sure though, you'll have to research that)
Im using Criskelo v9 rom with GL- Notecore v8.1 (OC) kernel,everything working as it should and the speed is awesome as far as battery goes ive only been running the kernel a few days and it seems ok. I charge my phone every night so battery life is no issue here.Everbody's usage differs tho, if your after longer battey life i wouldnt opt for an OC kernel.

Actually S-memo and the other sammy apps for the s-pen are better than the likes of papyrus and other apps. So for those who want/need s-memo stick with touchwiz based roms.
you guys can get angry with me but im honest to my heart,...as of now there is no rom that is completely good..im going back to gb
all tw ics roms have one major problem: SCROLLING aint smooth enough( ive tried em all)..they stutter like hell!!
and cm9 roms arent that great for battery life...
cm 10 aint fully functional...
all in all i hate it that samsung has created a wonderful device with awesome specs but totally screwed the software releases throughout...to make it even worse is black clipping!!.. im just irritated with this device, dont feel like owning a premium device...im about to sell it hopefully note 2 is better coz the spen and screen size are unbeatable!!!
Stock ROM is the best.
Hi your best option is to go for a Touchwiz rom which you can highly customize during installation. Chrack's and Criskelo are very good fully customizable rooms. They come with Aroma installation to let you remove a lot of bloat ware before installation.
Touchwiz roms also have the best kernels around. Like Note core and Speed mod. These give a very significant improvement in speed n battery. Of course cyanogen based roms r good. But the prob is u will be lacking some native drivers Samsung has integrated into the roms for the best performance. For ex, divx support is there by default, NTFS file format for SD card can be achieved, better drivers for display n graphics etc.
Touchwiz roms can crush cyanogen roms in benchmarks as well. Cyanogen can seem very smooth and fluid. But with the right launcher (apex or nova) u can easily give the rom a stock ICS feel as well. Hope this helped. Cheers

The best ROM is the one that works best for you on your phone. Try a few out and decide for yourself.
And posts like this never belong in Development.
Hey people !
After spending a whole afternoon looking for a stable and battery friendly CUSTOM Rom for my SG3 LTE version I got confused with all those options.
Could any of you suggest one Rom that could offer me good battery, performance and with every function working properly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I'm prettty much in favor of non-stock ROMs, so my reply may be a bit biased
Depending on what you mean by "latest" I would recommend Sentinel ROM, which I have been running for months on my S3LTE without any issues - just works, is very stable and excellent battery life !
As it has been a bit quiet around this ROM for some time now and I wanted to look into what has changed in 6 months I now tested a few ROMs and ended up with Ressurection Remix for the time being, looks fine so far.
HTH, best regards,
Axel
The Galaxy Project (link in my signature)
hands down the most stable ROM for the 9305, probably because its made by those who actually use and own a 9305. It's not some fork or spin-off from a 9300 tree.
Running on TGP for a year now, with a functional 4G link.
Thank you guys !
Dont froget amcha rom.. one of the beat
Currently archidroid is the best kitkat ROM. No forced close ,good battery. Fast.

1lshara, What rom did you go with and what do you think of it. Did you have any issues at all?
for simplicity stock look but great battery life and stable i suggest you try rXTREME.JB.4.3-V4.1.
for customization and ofcourse good battery and stable i suggest AllianceROM V3.
if your not onto stock based then i cannot suggest :victory:

Thanks for this suggestion, I once installed ROMs for my GF but she isn't tech savvy and his been a nightmare. All she wants is something with good battery life and camera that works. I am going to give this a go on her phone this weekend and see how it goes.
I think Alliance ROM is excellent except it isn't the latest. Unless it changed recently it is Jelly bean based not kit kat. I used it for months and my only issue was battery life.
I then went through a number of ROMs (I'm totally new to this BTW) and found they all have faults of some kind. Mostly, there's nothing out there so far as I've found that can come close to the Samsung camera app.
I had omni for a while but started having a few problems such as lock up reboot when streaming from media browser.
Currently I'm on liquid smooth which doubled my battery life (well nearly double). However, like all the kit Kat based ROMs I tried, the camera is a bit naff and ecoffeecard had a corrupt camera view rendering it useless. Last week I started getting systemui faults and force closes so updated to the nightly. But still have the systemui crash today. So I'm really thinking of reverting to alliance at this b point. I'm thinking it was the Samsung stuff that hurt the battery so maybe that can be removed (except the awesome camera app).
Hope that helps.

Thanks - got a feeling I looked at that but can't remember the details (I seemed to be flashing a new ROM every hour or so there for a while) - I'll give it another whirl
Use 2.4.5 , don't use the1.x version. 2.4.5 is kitkat. So far i think this is far more battery friendly than the official omni nighties.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You cant place words "stable" and "latest" together!!
Stable means that its working without problems for a long time, so it cant be latest.
Very stable means almost ideal, so it dont exist, everyone has their own experience, so each will give you different advice and you will end up with nothing more than crap
I was trying couple of roms and my theory is that custom roms are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get (sentence form Forest Gump). For me and my actual phone least unpleasant surprises gave stock 4.1.2 with added JKAY mod and removed apps by me.
But for security gap in browser I changed to stock 4.3 with 4.1.2 bootloader and some xposed modules. This is not a good setup, cause from time to time battery is eated very fast, even battery stats does not show anything specific.
As someone has already said, stable and latest can't always go together. Stock based ROMs will generally be more stable. However, Cm-based ROMS, for instance, are currently the only way to get the latest android version, coupled with nice extra features. If you really value being able to use every phone function without any weird bugs, stick with a stock based ROM. For the i9300, I'd recommend SmartDroid (dunno if it's available for the LTE version).

I remember this one now - don't like the aroma installer; it only occupies half the screen yet takes touch for the whole screen. which means a lot of guessing where to tap to trigger the button.
It's installed now so will see how it goes today.
FWIW - the base Google camera hides too many feature down on a second layer of menu options so it's impossible to get to the quickly. the 'colour' one in play store doesn't even have half the features as far as I can find, and the controls keep disappearing off screen. Samsungs app lets you keep custom shortcuts on screen and also lets you take photos during a video shoot.

I agree that Samsung camera is user friendly. For the aroma installer problem,i think if you are coming from not 4.4.2, you should format system before flashing, the aroma installer then will become full screen.

I'm using CM11 on my 9305, and power consumption is terrible.
The stock ROM was also not good.
Which ROM should I use? I prefer stable and battery life.

When you say format - I did a factory reset within TWRP which wipes Data, Cache and Dalvik. is that what you mean or should I be doing an 'advanced wipe' ?
After Archi was installed, I found I was missing my contacts - possibly because I unticked the 'backup to google' option in the beginning as I didn't want it downloading all the apps. my Rerware MyBackup Pro restored the apps ok, but couldn't restore contacts etc - it just froze. I reverted to my TWRP backup of liquid and found a similar issue - I had blocked (or at least not unblocked) the ability of MyBackup pro to access contacts and the like so assume at the moment the backup was bad and hence why the app froze. Regardless, I'm surprised the contacts didn't come from Google cos I've never had to restore them in the passed.
I'll give it another go but it would be nice to fix the aroma issue first, so please advise. btw liquid smooth is kit kat based 4.4.2
No offense to the great developers that take their time to build ROMs, but I keep finding myself restoring a stock backup no more than 2 days after flashing a ROM. I don't know, I've just noticed that at least for me, no ROM has been as smooth as stock 5.0.1. All 5.0.2 builds I've tried (Pure, Chroma, Lollipop Dream) simply don't feel as smooth. I use Franco's kernel on everything I use, I don't even touch the settings. Other than that, it's using the Modaco Mod pack and Viper Audio. Again, I'm not trying to offend nor troll post or anything, but I really can't be the only one that is experiencing this.
With all the nexus phones I had, I wondered this. Few seemed as fast, fluid, or bugfree. @Sykopompus made a fantastic n5 ROM. Probably best I used. A lot of devs I felt overloaded the features and it slowed the performance down. I have a note 4 now running CM, and have almost nothing extra installed. Less than 1 screen of apps in app drawer. Lean equals speed. Your not bashing devs, just stating an opinion. Those guys put in thousands of hours working on a thankless task, pretty much for free. You have variety, keep trying.

well, considering that you only tried popular roms, not good roms, stock would probably be better. all(ok, not all, but most) those roms in the android development section are just the aosp rom with features cut and pasted into it. so i wouldnt expect much. there are good rioms, like @rascarlo Rastapop, that actually get developed, and worked on for real, that are as smooth or smoother than stock(original development section). and franco kernel on everything? francisco is one of my friends, but i stay away from his kernels, as i dont like their actual performance.
Nope. SlimROM and Sensei kernel FTW.
Clean ROM is typically my favorite, as it is a debloated stock with a few tweaks. Always super stable.
First time using custom ROM and kernel. I don't really see any difference in ROM so I may go back to stock but kernel is a keeper for me.
No, Validus runs rings around stock!
Sent from my SM-T310 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think it depends on how you use your rom....
I can only speak for me but custom rom does make the difference for me. I do follow known good dev from other phones currently I am on Liquid Smooth and it is very nice. I do not play games and am a IT Eng so I use lots of apps for work all together (Dropbox, Evernotes, Exchange mail, personal email, scanning docs to fax or email, GPS for travel, conference call, call recording, call blocking app to give me peace from work, calendars for work, family, kids school events, clubs I am over, church, other...so many calendar activities, hotspot usage) and it goes on and on
Custom rom allows me root and ad blocking, system tweaks, speed for all many productive apps I use and many used at same time...so the tweaks that I need only a custom rom can give this to me where OEM rom can not and lacks the special tweaks a GOOD developer adds for better battery, performance which includes kernel tweaks to give the overall boost...
I think average person does not need a custom rom for this phone but I need bit more boost just on my work and personal load and how I use my phone
interesting discussion,
I came in to see if any roms are allowing my flash drive to work natively. Similar to lolipolloza for the N9.
I am also a little overwhelmed with the options in the two dev forums now as to what to flash.
After trying the most popular builds I am running a deodexed debloated stock/ with elemental kernel for the DT2W and the nova launcher for its abilty to offer a clean UI.
If I could use the USB storage without a third party app would be great.
If you're talking about smooth, most of those ROMs/kernels are smooth. You didn't really specify your setup on stock ROM (in other words, what kernel are you using?).
If you're using stock kernel with stock ROM, then its most likely the mpdecision effect where your CPU frequency is boosted up to higher clocks to ensure the smoothness, but this comes at a price of battery. Try using other kernels or configuration set ups with ROMs. Its more or less the kernel that is what causes the smoothness, not so much the ROM. The ROM plays a role in it but the kernel is what plays the biggest role.
Also, to note, I think its kind of funny because you messaged me about testing my ROM yesterday and then I see this thread.

To be completely fair, CM is a ROM that "actually gets developed and worked on for real" but yet it can not be as speedy as stock due to all the extra added features.
As far as the other comments, I rather not comment
But to OP, try other kernels.. kernels is what significantly makes a device "smooth" and see if your results come up differently. One kernel doesn't fit everybody's needs.

I did mention what I use though; Franco with stock settings, and currently switched to the new test build of Lean. I did message you because I wanted to try other ROMs and at the same time try to contribute when it comes to testing
I can't compare as I have never used stock, but everything I'm using seems smooth to me. Someone mentioned that ElementalX kernel had a bit of stutter in the unlock and recents menu, but the Dev said that it's hard with custom kernels trying to drive the display (though he has a solution to that). Maybe the issue is that franco kernel works better on stock than it does on other roms and that all custom kernels (included in custom roms) have this problem.

You didn't mention what kernel you used with stock rom. For your custom rom setup you did, if you were using Franco and stock rom then that's another story. Try using other kernels, lean kernel is a great kernel and is what I recommend using after Franco. It stays pretty close to stock and uses mpdecision
I have had two testers that do that and I don't really talk to them with exception of one. You can't test something you're not using on a daily basis.
The purpose of testing is not to get the zip early and then get away with it. Feedback and bugs are expected to be reported otherwise I'm not gaining much from sending test builds and not getting anything back.

And I wasn't trying to get away with it. I've been on XDA for years so don't think I'm trying to take advantage over anybody, man.
Just curious on how often you guys change ROMs or how you go about picking your daily driver ?
I have one ROM in particular I use everyday, but I've been on a flashing spree the past several weeks as there are lots of great options. The ROM I am using as my everyday is b/c it does not have any issues/bugs and works 100%. There is another ROM that I really like as well that has more options than my current one, but it has so many bugs and errors that I cannot use it for daily use. I've tried on several occasions, but there were too many errors.
I switch between Chroma and Pure Nexus, both super great ROMs, they have identical update schedules so I do one build chroma, one pure nexus build... I find that Pure Nexus is waaay more stable and has better battery life than Chroma, but Chroma works good with my carrier no matter the kernel. Pure Nexus + stock PN kernel has bugs with my carrier's connection so I flash HellsCore.
Some comments on Reddit (/r/Nexus6 mainly) say that ROMs "deteriorate" and most users switch to stock Google factory images + GravityBox from Xposed or Cataclysm MOD (too sad it died). I will try that soon since I notice lags, bluetooth disconnections, really poor battery life (like 2 hours SOT and 4 hours stand by) in both Chroma and Pure Nexus after a few weeks, using Greenify MM version with Aggresive Doze and the other option I cannot remember. I also have WLD and Amplify.
I stick to one as the main one, snd flash other about once a week.
Use to switch alot just out of curiousity, but lately as I find myself getting older and busier I stick to whats stable and gets the job done with little issues. And for me that's Chroma rom, I've had no issues with it whatsoever since I've been on it for the past 4months.

Been on many roms across a handful of devices and on the N6 I'd stay with stock + Cata mod forever but stock + gravity/xposed gets the job done. Viper sound mod & LMT launcher are always installed too.
So sad that the Cata mod developer was pushed out of XDA by haters. Cata mod was the hands down best thing I've ever used.
switching ROMs.. what's the point? the only times I ever switch ROMs is finding one that suits me. after I find a ROM that suits me, I never switch Roms. what the point of switching ROMs after that? from my experience, I see many "kids" switching Roms, but many adults tend to stay with one ROM.

variety is great, but not through roms. and what kind of variety? some extra "features" that I'll never use? what the point if that kind of variety? I do find many things to change around, but the roms are all basically the same. sure, some have added other features, or some theming changes. for me, the most important thing is that everything that is in the ROM works properly.
oh, and ask Tiger Woods about his opinion on variety today, it won't be the same answer that you got out of him several years ago..
A few a week before i decide which ROMs I prefer. Then I'll stick with a ROM for 6+ months if it's stable with good battery life and has most of the features I want. Currently using Pure Nexus with ElementalX and don't plan on switching any time soon.

Been with Pure Nexus ROM for the past 3 months now alongside Hells Core Kernel. Only time to switch ROMS is if it causes battery drain or performance issues. Also, the busier you get whether it be work or college, etc., the less time you have to care about things like this. Kind of what simms said
I don't that much anymore been using croma and Pure for a good while I normally like to do a good clean wipe every so often then I may see what's happening with diff roms but pure is my go to. Now back in the og Evo and s2 days would swap every other day because every rom had its flaws.

That's my exact setup and it's fantastic
I've tried a few different kernels but I like Pure Nexus with hellscore and that's what I use. Pure Nexus with elite kernel is also good...l used to use kernel auditor for hellscore, but I just deleted it and use hellscore right out of the box.
I had the kernel set up from this video I watched and used the settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLkRAVUnxE4
I undervolted to -35 instead of -25 and dropped a few more settings lower than he had with zero lag. He could have been a little more aggressive in stepping down. Worked great. Good SOT.
It seems that even though the n5 sucks, the n7 sucks, n4 gets little to no dev love. I haven't seen any good roms in a while and everything I try that is MM based either has horrendous lag or the worst battery life.
Is this phone just dead as far as rom development? I tried what I thought was one of the best roms, Overdrive, and it lags worse than my Old ass Evo 4g running Gingerbread.
If you don't like any of the ROM's just stay stock. I'm running MM stock rooted with a few xposed modules and nova launcher with an icon pack. Very simple setup, very smooth and stable. It's Android, customize it any way you want! Good luck

all the development is going on in the Note 4 Snapdragon international xda forum. it works with the n910t but some roms need a data fix.
im currently running the Norma Note 7 port with data fix. everything works except the fingerprinter scanner and no tmobile WIFI calling.

You did something wrong if OD is lagging.

they are different depending on the rom u choose, you have to find a rom first and then somewhere in the thread a data fix is normally posted.
