I think we're heading in a wrong direction...Why don't focus on 2.3.6?

If you want JB, get Galaxy Young S6310.
It's the same phone as mini2, just different design, more RAM, CPU preclocked to 1GHz, and JB 4.1.2 preinstalled. It has the same price as the mini 2.
S6310 has 768MB of RAM. mini 2 only has 512MB. It's enough for 4.1, but not enough for optimal performance. Look at Xperia E, every reviewer has noticed lags with the official 4.1 on it.
I fully agree with TheWhisp's post about how we use drivers not suited for 4.2 (or 4.1 too). Without official LIB's and official kernel, we'll always have a half-baked CM. And that's not TheWhisp's problem. It's Samsung's problem for releasing new models every three seconds, and ditching support for the older models. WE WON'T HAVE JB ON MINI 2! THEY HAVE S6310 FOR THIS PROBLEM!
CM should only be an option, not a necessity that every mini 2 user should install, just because there's nothing else for our phone.
Look at Sony's Live With Walkman, it has 512MB of RAM too. Everyone is reporting better performance on official 2.3.6, than in official 4.0.4!
The BEST thing for our phone would be a new kernel for 2.3.6. Not the squadzone's, because it has some problems with certain stock ROM's. Isn't it sad that we only have ONE custom kernel for 2.3.6. And only TWO good ROM's for mini 2? (CM10 and CM10.1). I knows there's many 2.3.6 ROM's but they are mostly just squadzone's kernel + additional visual tweaks + removed bloatware + useless build.prop modifications, simply because there's nothing else to do with 2.3.6. I know it might sound like I'm begging you, but why don't make a new kernel for 2.3.6? With fix for the famous LK2 no-WiFi bug, and perhaps better performance.
I do not want this phone's development to be stale and almost non-existent.
If I didn't have to start school in 2 days, I would be a developer and help with everything, but there's more important stuff than mini 2. I'm just proposing an idea.

Okay, i've corrected some typing errors in your post. Typing errors fixed are in bold.
And, i agree with you.

Errors fixed. Also, Android has not ditched any support for 2.3.6, it still is the second most used version to date, so why not?

Yeah, it's also the stablest one to date. CM7.2 also loads alots of customization than CM9, CM10 or even 10.1 and 10.2.

You are right. I have squadzone kernel but i wanted some better. Someone that could make a new kernel and, why not, also a new rom.
PS: someone should make a list with all roms for our device, like in other forums.

Yes. I have to agree with you. There no need to wait for official jellybean anymore. I think Samsung also headache how to make a smooth jellybean rom on low end device. For low end device, I think gingerbread is better.
I list down what I want in mini 2 :good:
ROM:
- Based on latest 2.3.6 firmware
- Bloatwares removed
- Deoxeded
- Zipaligned
- Tweaks to make it more faster and smooth compared to stock
- Themed (optional) - Galaxy S4 icon,font, new accuweather, blue statusbar instead of shiny green, percentage battery, beautiful bootscreen
- anything good for user
Kernel
- kernel build based on goals "smooth,fast,battery saving,stable"
- 3 step different freq 200,500,800 MHz (non OC kernel), 4 step 200,500,800,1000 MHz (OC kernel)
- tweaks to make it smooth and stable experience for user
- anything good for user
If only I am capable on doing all this.....:

Thank you for your post, you've bought some interesting ideas. I would personally have the ROM Odexed, as the performance would be better.
I think I would add the 6th step in the OC kernel, which would be 1126MHz, for max performance.
But I'm no kernel compiler. Although I will try to change the squadzone's kernel logo to show S6500 and not S6500D, as it's the wrong model I have.
I'm thinking about sorting stuff out with all the components we currently have. But that takes time.
I don't like huge theming, the only awesome thing for me would be the percentage battery.

Cm 10.1 works even faster than stock for me. Games work well too.

That's good for you, but this isn't a topic to bash CM10(.1;.2), it's simply an idea that we should have a much wider choices of custom ROMs for mini 2.

Well, we already have plenty. Maybe when thewhisp finishes working on 10.1 which is nearly complete he will grace us with cm 7. Just an idea.
We also need more devs, i dont see many ppl working on jena roms

Yes I agree with low end device work faster in 2.3.6 than 4.0 and above. My brother own xperia tipo and it is lagging on 4.0.4. I guess it is better if it on 2.3.6. While my sister own mini 2 S6500D running on 2.3.6.
I mention about theming before, it is not heavy theming mate. I also like you. I prefer profesional look and minimalist theme. A theme that have clean,neat and professional look from boot screen to user interface. And yes % battery would be great.
But sadly low end device not much developers, so we may have to wait.

My phone works twice as fast on CM 10.1.
No major bugs or anything.
Overclocked to 1Ghz.
Runs smoother than before.
Works faster than s3 mini on stock (tested with antutu)
I dont see why this phone wont work with oficial jellybean.
Galaxy Music has 512 ram and works grat with oficial jellybean.

GT-S6310 laggs terribly on 4.1, same as GT-S7560 on 4.0

[Q] Differences between the stock 4.1.2 and the custom KitKats

Are there any noticeable improvements (performance-wise) in the custom KitKat ROMs and the stock 4.1.2? I mean, are there any changes that you can feel and see, or is it just a new android version with fancy new features?
Also I'd wait until a stable version of OmniROM or CM gets built until I try to flash my device.

I have flashed CM nightlies, PA nightlies, 4.3 PAC and Omni ROM.. Each Rom has its own unique features and performance difference!..
But personally i would say, those has its own + and - things..
The last ROM i flashed 4.4.2 Dirt Unicorns Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633846 ) seemed Great to me.. Overall Nice features cheery picked from all ROMS but again its individual's preference in the end of the day and Every ROM is unique in its own way!
NOTE:- S-Note, S planner and other samsung apps will work only if you are flashing a Touchwiz based Rom.. Those apps wont work in CM, PA and AOKP Roms cuz they need TW framework to work with!
If you are thinking of flashing of TW based Roms, i would recommend 2 Roms to take a look at..
X-Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320871 ) This is the Rom, i am currently using.. It will give your phone a tablet UI, thus taking advantage of your Note's large real estate screen! .. Multi window, floating window and buttery smooth and lots of features!
You can also check out the Note 8 Apps ported to our galaxy note N7000, if you are interested.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217662 )
Arya Mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52357155 ) This is also a great Rom and cool icons and themes!

I can't say I've been using any of the TouchWiz features, to be honest.
Just a few things I don't like on the stock ROM: The gallery takes a long time to open, opening the contacts takes a bit, and the animations sometimes glitch out (they just get skipped). And I'm locked to my current provider, but as my guarantee is at an end, I'm looking for a custom ROM to get out of the damn simlock, and maybe fix some other things as well.
So if you could just point out a few major differences (both performance wise, and feature wise) between CM, Omni and Dirt Unicorns, that'd be awesome. Of course I'd still wait for a stable version to come out.
I'm not really sure if I want a TW based ROM, not that I was using any of it's features. They always were a tad bit laggy on my phone. Mainly I'm looking for a ROM that'll run the smoothest, and that's the main thing, all eye-candy and fancy stuff is just icing on the cake. But I'll check out the ROMs you linked (the links seem to be wrong, tho). Thanks a lot!

I'll post another question in the same thread, so I don't have to open another one and clutter the board.
Are the OmniROM and CM nightlies stable? Also, is the only way to update CM to download and flash a new version of the OS, since there's that opendelta thing on Omni, where you can just download the update, just like real OTA?

They aren't stable but can be used as daily driver depending upon your usage. For Omnirom there is open delta, you can check for updates in settings>About Phone and it would only download the update not the whole rom.

I doubt 4.4 will ever be 100% stable, but god bless the cooks that keep coming up with updates, since for obvious reasons,
Samsung won't port past 4.1.2 officially.
Personally, for my usage, I've skipped everything past 4.1.2, as I can go weeks between reboots, lock ups, and with a custom
launcher (go launcher), my device is smooth and rock stable. It has a stock (DBT german international device) rom, rooted,
custom kernal just in case I forgot and didn't want to erase and endure the brick bug. Uninstalled the DBT bloat.
2+ years and still going strong.

[Q] fastest rom for n7000

just bote the note n7000 a couple off days ago and it was on stock 4.1.2 witch was awfull so slow and laggy etc so i made the plunge to root custom rom etc and now have cynagon mod 5.1.1 rom and while its an improvement over the stock im noticing my cpu is maxed out when just browsing the net or browsing facebook wuitch is causeing the phone to get very hot and battery is dying alot quicker ... so my question is whats the fastest and lightest rom for n7000

Omnirom 4.4.4 is the best rom for my note.

Official CM 11 kitkat is the best rom for me, no lag, smooth, weekly update, alot of themes you can find on playstore. Guaranteed.

First of all, "speeding the device" is not just ROM. It is kernel also, and other components (battery also,yup). I've tried several combinations of ROMs and kernels, and the best solution for me is TouchWizLite v2.0 and HelloWorld Kernel. TWLite ROM is touchwiz based rom, 4.1.2 jellybean, without any bloatware, only with applications that most peoples uses. No bootanimation, better battery percentage, etc. It is clear, and safe. Also got problem with my chinese battery, but gone with this ROM, definitely must have.
Performances: 9/10
Battery: 26h (7h display on)
Best Regards

I use SlimSaber (based on SlimROM).
It is light, fast and minimalistic with good battery life.
It also has real black theme to save battery life.
To reduce battery drain during browsing I use firefox with stylish addon and black theme for background.
With my first battery I can use phone for 2 days without charging.

hey there I am looking for a good combination of kernel/rom possibly a stock rom I don't need root or anything just want my phone to run very smoothly...I haven't formatted or flashed my phone in a while and I'd like to clean it up any help would be appreciated. how did you get the cm11 kit kat?
best regards

which rom is fastest
hello guys, does someone know which is the most reliable and stable at the same time faster than the official jellybean 4.1.2 stock rom for galaxy note n7000?, i have tried ([ROM][LineageOS14.1][Nougat][Android 7.1.2] NightOwl 20180824 by bauner with this kernel: Nightowl-cm12.1-20160215-n7000-kernel) but i wasn't pleased with the speed and i want to change i had experianced some sort of glitch and i couldn't play my favorite game : (miniclip 8ball pool) fluently in it.

CM11 or OmniRom 6.0.1 ?

Hello!
i was using CM Rom for 2 years , but sadly the CM's team stoped upgrading the rom for Cm12 , so i searched for another rom , i found the OmniRom , flashed it nd used for 3 months it's a good looking rom , clean , and fast , but i should keep the cpu on (max 1400 ,min 400) and that makes the phone too hot while charge and drain the battery fast .
so should i back to CM11 , or could anyone help me to slove this proplem ?!

ART based ROMs are a little too much for our phone, IMO. They work, and you even can get used to their speed, but generally you can get better multitasking (more RAM) and battery life with older ROMs.
I would recommend to use kitkat or jellybean roms for real life usage scenarios.
Personally I use SuperNexus rom, based on pure 4.2.2 (not CM) with Semaphore kernel. SGS is my secondary phone now. I tried Lollipop/Marshmallow, but they halfed available RAM, which is crucial for our phone. Kitkat is OK, but still ~20% less RAM than JB. That sometimes leads to browser is unable to load some heavy web page.
I still think, it's fantastic, that SGS is able to run the latest android version. 5 year phone!

[Q] Searching for a suitable ROM [i8190n]

Hey guys !
I've recently rescued my i8190 replacing the motherboard with a i8190n, and yesterday I succesfully rooted it following this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852)
I've started searching for a suitable ROM which increase or mantain battery life and also based on newer android versions (5 or 6)
I currently considered LineageOs, Resurrection Remix and OmniROM, but I don't know which version is the most reliable and power-consumption friendly. Current android versions (7.) seems to struggle with s3 mini hardware (which is understandable) so that's why I'm looking for older versions.
Twrp will need to be installed and so far I've found this version (http://novafusion.pl/2014/09/11/release-twrp-v2-8-0-0-s3-mini/#comments) which seems to be the most reliable.
Which Rom and Twrp would you recommend me to suit my needs ?
I appreciate your help !
PD: NFC is not being used due to 3 pin battery from original i8190

Omni lollipop for stability - daily driver. I use a older version 20160325 for better battery.
Virginity V14 if you're looking for a solid stock experience.

Please report back as I also have a i8190 to resurrect so would value your opinion?
Mine will be used as an everyday phone for my 12year old daughter so stability and battery performance is top of my priority list. Latest OS/features less so.

So far I've been trying OmniROM 5.1.1 v. 20160325 and I'm pretty impressed with battery consumption. Maybe you will notice some battery drops after flashing the ROM but after some calibrations it will last longer. Keep in mind that some google services may increase consumption if you decide to install gapps, so I also recommend trying the microG (not so easy to set up but satisfying once you're using it). Also look for other "improved" aps (facebook lc, etc) in xda forums in case your daugther needs it.
Also remember to root after flash ROM in case you need root privileges for any app.
