I run bobcat 4.4.4 and love it but my wife needs a stock tw 4.4.4 because stock LP is garbage and i have to root her phone. Who has a stock rom for kk that is smooth as butter? Tia
Every time ya ask a question like this it gets a bad reaction from mods.you need to try them.what is great for new might be horrible for her.
Try firekat. It's been great for me so far
Try Them all
By stock, I'm assuming, you mean a Touchwiz based rom.
A thousand votes for Infamous
This is q&a, mods wont care. No time to try them all. I'll look into firecat n infamous. Thanks mates!

First off-hold your guns!
I know JB as such isn't out yet, and can't be expected to be as stable as ICS... But, still- after watching video reviews of some custom ROMs, one asks themselves, if they should give it a go...
Ok, so I am running stock (LAME!!!, I know ) GB, rooted and couple of launchers make it more interesting, sure... However, after browsing through this lovely and extremely helpful forum, I noticed that there are people who are already enjoying the benefits of running JB ROMs, or very good and matured TW based ICS custom ROMs...
1. So, I know ICS stock kernel has been a bit of a problem, what that just 4.03, or did 4.04 fix that?
2.Kill be for being so easily pleased, but I do find my Note and its current ROM already pretty smooth... I know all the bits that ICS makes it better and even more so JB, but considering all the things ICS brought, is there a point of trying JB, except for experimenting?
3. One thing I am so after, is that bit where from the lock screen you have like 3, or 4 options, one of them being going straight into the camera mode. I don't know if that is only JB, but I could really use it, as the old way (press the menu button, swipe to unlock, then press the camera icon) so many times made me miss the scene I wanted to take a photo of. So, any info on that would be much appreciated.
4.So much hype around GN II, but seeing that so many features are being ported to GN I custom ROMs, I am only after a ROM which will have those new and useful S III and GN II bits sawn onto the old(er) jacket.
5. I am in no rush, so do you think that in 3-4 weeks something more stable JB based will be available(official JB update should be rolling out soon, no)?
Big thanks to all you guys here, not just for answering the questions, but also all the tutorials and topics we noobs can find here... Keep up the good work.
See custom jb roms are stable like cm10 aosp liquidsmooth etc.you will feel smooth quality on it and butter project.
Ics 4.0.4 is very stable and has many mods and a good battery life too.
So lastly its your choice which one to flash.

Answering the title of your thread, there are no TW-based JB roms yet. All the TW-based ROMs are ICS. So if you are looking for smooth and reliable TW-based ROMs I would go for Kingdroid (ICS). If you want Jelly Bean you have ParanoidAndroid, Liquidsmooth, but these are not TW-based.
And answering the 5 questions in the contents of your post:
1. The problem is not with the kernel, the problem is with the chip itself, the *workaround* is using a modified kernel that does not use the MMC_CAP_ERASE command, so to answer your question, no the problem isn't solved and it won't be solved unless Samsung recalls all the units and gives out new ones without the bug. You will have to be careful when upgrading to ICS/JB because you will need to use safe kernels.
2. Jelly bean is definitely smoother than ICS, it is worth upgrading IMO.
3. That is the ICS/JB unlock screen that comes in stock android, and it is also available in most AOSP/AOKP ROMs. It is not available by default in Touchwiz but you can download that lockscreen from the Play Store as a standalone app and replace it.
4. Not all the Note2 features have been ported to the Note1, for instance the multi-window view is not available on any ROM yet as far as I know.
5. I have made the switch because I can't stand the look of Touchwiz, the complete disregard of Google's Holo design is for me a reason enough to switch to AOSP/AOKP, that said even when official JB ROMs start rolling out I probably won't come back to Touchwiz.
I think that you need a stock ICS TW rom, maybe RocketRom or Alliance v2.1 rom. I have tried a couple JB roms, but it feels like you have giant nexus insted of a great note.
If you want stock, pick up a last 4.0.4 xxlrt or ddlr9 or something similar, depends where you live but it's not too important. After that, just flash PhilZ kernel and you are safe, disable all aplications that you dont need, and thats it.
Or if you want a custom rom which is great like stock and cool like custom, choose rocketrom v12 or alliance v2.1
Hope that helps!
Ooooohhh-dann so...
Well, that clears so many things...
I mean, am no Samsung fan boy. It is just that I edit many pdf docs on the go, and other TW apps are very useful as they bring the functionality and the precision of the S Pen... As I said. I even find stock GB smooth, so I believe ICS should feel like heaven for me.
BIG QUESTION = so, since the problem was the chip, not the stock kernel itself, and the only solution is a modification of kernel, surely Google will include the workaround in a new JB update, no?
I haven't updated OTA to ICS, because I was scared of bricking the phone, or something.... Are the updates incremental, or so I need to update to official ICS and then to JB, or will I be able to go straight to JB (official one)?
I think I might go for Kingdroid (ICS), or Sweet ROM... Though, I from reading their respective threads, I get the idea that less people have issues with Sweet ROM....
Thanks again...
Ota update from GB ROM is safe because GB kernel is safe. Or can download stock ICS from Dr Ketan and flash with pc odin. Then flash appropriate Philz kernel (can do it from stock recovery). You will then be on safe stock kernel (only brick bug is disabled) with advanced CWM recovery. Once on Phils u can backups/restores and flash any ROM u like. Just have to do full wipe before flashing new ROMs.

I am looking to start modding my Z1. I had a Galaxy S2 and used Pac-Man Rom before and loved it.
The thing is I want an Xperia based Rom.
So does anyone know which one is the best Xperia based (JB 4.3) Rom and why?
Also can you confirm if I require to unlock bootloader (and what are the disadvantages of doing so)
Hello,
the big thing is you have to try it.Everyone likes something other and different.I testet 7 roms for now and im not perfect yet.What do you want Stock?,maximal customizability?,voltage mods include?,deodexed?.It's a long table find out what you want and then ask for the rom what is voltage mod ... etc.

Hey Nico,
Thanks for the reply. I want something more Xperia deodexed like. Not looking for stock android as for that I would go back to Pac-Man (like my s2).
I really like Xperia UI but need a bit more that I feel like its missing: e.g. Ihacker or monxDIFIED but the differences between then seem very small. Major things are alike (boot menu, connectivity etc. ) so I would like to know if either of those is better or there is something alike that is better.

hey guys,
I supportet monx a little with a little donation, and now i get the early Rom build.I have also to say i like the I Hackers which i have on my Phone now but the big issue is no recovery.And also i miss the reboot bars and stuff thats the point to go for me.My first well and fast running rom on the Xperia was the monox thats the point why i decided to donate some and get the latest stuff.Personally i can say that was the best rom for me on 4.2.2.Anyway all Roms are good,I try the 4.3 build of him and then i'll give a new feedback.

Hey
I just bought this phone off a friend. still in very good condition and im happy with it.
It appears to be stock sony rom, with masses of bloat and clutter, and the battery usage is just average at best so im thinking i probably need a custom rom.
android 4.4.4
kernel 3.4.0
build .14.4.a.0.157
im not sure if bootloader is locked or unlocked.
I would like to get a better rom on this phone with less bloat and hopefully an improvement on battery life, can anyone advise whats best to do.
Thanks.
CyanogenMod is the most popular ROM

as I dont like tinkering with firmwares yet, after a few hours of research ive just rooted and flashed DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM 3.2 [BETA RELEASE][3-Dec-2014], fingers crossed it works ok. hopefully can flash lollipop at some stage
What roms are you guys running and/or what would you recommend? What are your opinions on them? I am currently using Rapture.. Its not a bad rom at all but I believe its not giving me the battery life I want..
You want battery life go with poprocks rom. Cleaned up version of touchwiz and if you use greenify it adds a lot more.
AOSP i think cyanogemod would be the best, but i had problems in the past with cyanogen so i'm rocking with pop. give it a try.
Project Infinity
I'm running teks tekxodus and it's amazing. At first I was sceptical of all the theme mods done to it since they're usually the kind of mods that effect performance but it's the first lollipop rom I've been able to get 5 hour sot easy. That's also with xposed installed and app settings with my dpi at 480. I'm finally content with lollipop again not to mention the cool themes I can use now
If you don't follow the devs instructions then u can try another rom and when the same thing happens then you have to finally admit it is you that might be the issue. If a dev wants clean install and you dirty flash u can't complain.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Can't go wrong with Poprocks.

I do miss the stock Samsung features, camera and s health especially, but after getting the speed of cm, I couldn't go back lol.
Im just started trying out darthstalker rom
I am using @TEKHD 's TEKXodus N4 URv3.3 and it really is an amazing piece of work. It is a very customized rom with lots of features but at the same time, it doesn't feel customized. Meaning it feels like this is how the phone should have been released which is an amazing thing. If you want to feel like you are installing a brand new rom that is different from stock but at the same time feel comfortable with everything, give it a try. After you are on it for a bit and get used to everything, you won't be able to go back to stock.

I'm a big fan of the Stock Deodexed rom. All the samsung features work great, with the flexibility to run xposed and theme and tune touchwiz to your liking.

Currently on TEKXodus N4 URv5 for my N910T. Closely waiting for URv6.x to settle down before upgrading.
Running [5.1.1][N910TUVU2DOK2][N910T/W8][N910T3] N5 Express 2.5D. I feel like my battery life has regressed since the 1.x version which was based on the Sprint 5.1.1 ROM, but it's still acceptable. I've been too busy with life to really try troubleshooting it (clean reflash) or to try any other ROMs.
On 5.0 lollipop rooted debloated not amazed but can anyone
tell me the BEST custom rom / launcher for battery life
but still give good performance?? Thanks.

Well there is only 1 ATT based rom to choose from and 2 ports on the 5.0 right now. I am running TMS5 v2.1 and love it. I get great battery life (depending if i'm playing games on the phone or not). IMO alliance and Twi5ted are a little buggie. I've ran both and am in no means putting them down cause they both are great but i guess because they are ported to the ATT phone you will run into problems here and there with them. Here's a link to TMS v2.0. To get the v2.1 you'll just have to ask someone which page it is on because it was never put in the OP cause its not a full rom, just an update.

Awesome, good to know..!! Guess i'll stay on this L5.02 for a bit longer since i just upgraded it two days ago.
