Any good ROMs out there? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

(Kyubi the last) is my favourite and i am daily driving this rom from last 4 months with no issues battery life is normal not the best and fingerprint works well also got theme store working cuz its n5 5.1.1 ported rom. 1 of the most stable ported rom in my opinion.

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.

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.

[ROM] Liquid Nexusbread v.1.85 (please use the new thread for further comments)

hi,
first of all, i want to say that i am not the developer or related by any means to this rom.
I just accidently came across this rom and wanted to share the link to u guys.
Updates-
12.05.2011- v1.85 available through Rom manager.
06.05.2011- Liquid nexusbread ver 1.8
http://liquidsmoothroms.com/node/1
Been running this rom for several days and it's working flawlessly! Love all the options for changing color in the status/dropdown bar, etc. Not sure if these were implemented in CM7.0.2 or not. This rom is really nice, I happened across it on ROM Manager. Lot's of cool features/options and very fast.
I am downloading the rom as we speak. This is very exciting news!
EDIT: This is not the Liquid Metal Tom although I automatically assumed it was. This rom is very fast and the stock browser works almost flawlessly with flash content compared to other roms I've tried. I have my phone overclocked at 1440 Max with the performance governor and I am very impressed at how stable it is. The phone hasn't crashed yet! This might honestly be my daily driver.

I went to high school with the dev of this rom and it was originally made for my nexus s... until I swapped for a G2x. If you get a chance, send him some donations. He's unemployed and could use the support.

The dev had a Droid x and now has a thunderbolt. He made the rom for me but by the time he finished I exchanged my nexus s for a g2x. He's been doing roms for a long time now. Since the og Droid.

I tried this a while ago. And it seemed nice. But it only had english as language. As i remember the download was only 57mb, so maybe the dev could ad the languages again. So this could be used.
THANKs
another GREAT ROM for Nexus S
Will this rom receive any updates in the future?

[Q] What stable ROM would you recommend?

I recently purchased this 8.9 tablet and extremely surprised how lacking the developer community is, i come from the desire hd and im updating my phone weekly sometimes even faster, but i came here and aokp/cm are apparently buggy and the threads are outdated with some even months old!
Im used to seeing pages go into 1000 pages, but here theres not even 6!
Anyway.... its a surprising change and im skeptical if its worth even rooting at all! Any recommendations?
All the ICS Roms pretty much have the same bugs and will, until the Official Update. I've tried all of them and they're definitely faster and more customizable than stock obviously but if you're looking for a 'fully functional' Rom, either try Overcome (which is a really good HC Rom) or stick with stock for another month or two. I went back to stock, rooted, removed the bloatware and apps that I wouldn't use and I'm pretty happy with that setup until something more stable comes along.

+1 instead of complaining be thankfull of what you have if you cant contribute to anything then just keep that to yourself because that wont help. .
Yes, definitely be thankful. Check out the gtab 7 plus community. Now that's lacking!
Anyhow I'll suggest kallt kaffe's cm9 june 8 build. The latest build I've read has some issues with the device powering itself off. All in all, I've been very impressed by kallt kaffe's cm9 build/ports!
Stock ROM is ok until ICS update. Just flash the motley's kernel, overclock it to 1.4-1.5 ghz and you will be very surprised by the speed of it. Also benchmark scores will increase significantly and touchwiz will be smooth.

Agreed. But instead of stock, I recommend Overcome 3.2.
Used HC stock rom for 2 days and it was very laggy. Went straight to the ICS ROMS which are much better. Didn't test Overcome 3.2 though. Performance between AOKP and CM9 are pretty much the same but CM9 has MUCH better batterylife. Would definitely go for CM9 which is official so you can flash nightlies all week long

T-Mobile Note... Use ATT ROM/root?

So my buddy got a note from T-Mobile and I wanted to know,after viewing specs, won't the ATT roms and root methods work seamless since they seem to be the same exact phone?
We are not first time rooters or ROM users. But, how big of a risk would it be to try and use the ATT root method on T-Mobile Note?

My guess...strictly a mildly informed guess is, that is you rooted the phone, did a nandroid backup and flashed a rom, everything would work except data, as they have different radios.
Don't try it because I said so, try it in the name of science. LOL (actually, I wouldn't do it)

Well I flashed the t-mo rom onto my att note and it works. also the data works too as it was using another t-mo radio i flashed in there before the flashed the rom, so it should work. but who knows.
But are they not the same phone with different radios? I mean theoretically same buttons and hardware means same "id's" for those buttons in the ROM for ATT. Like how Keys on a keyboard have special numbering, etc. How all hardware buttons function, really.
So why would an ATT ROM and root brick the phone?

Actually, the T-mobile rom runs fine on the AT&T Note, but CM9/CM10 does not run on the T-Mobile Note. Theres a difference in the displays, it's all corrupted during boot and then it finally reboots into a loop. I almost got CM9 to boot, saw it updating apps, but then it crashed.
The hardware is different!

T-mobile Note Roms
I'm not about to try to flash a ATT ROM on my new phone. So...where is a place to find ROMS for the T-mobile Note? Anyone have any Ideas? I'm looking for the Newest Touch Wiz and S-Voice to put on my note. Any help would be welcomed.

Since this phone has only been out a week, you will have a little bit of a wait.
from what i've seen it is safe to flash ATT roms they just don't boot.
I flashed about 3 different roms from the i717 threads using twrp 2.2.1 and they all boot loop at the samsung logo.
restoring my t-mo backup worked fine. so there really is no danger, just a boot looping issue.
You need to flash the T-mobile boot.img to get other roms to work on the T879. Check the "Goodies" dev thread made an odin flashable tarball that you make it easy to get up and running.
May post a guide later.

I don't own a Galaxy Note, but I'm considering picking one up this week, and I was just taking a look at the forums for it. The first step toward getting a nice development section is going to be finding a user experienced in porting roms. I would say if someone doesn't start this in the next couple of weeks, maybe it would be beneficial to you guys to find someone who is good with porting, ask them for advice & possibly even start a bounty to get them a Tmo Note for rom porting purposes? My best guess at using Att roms would be replacing the boot IMG & being sure that your using the Tmo radio(I'm not sure if roms generally include a radio). If those things are correct you probably have a good chance of getting TW roms to boot. I would try it, but i wouldn't recommend it to others unless your experienced in recovering bricked devices, lol! Again, this is just a guess, as I've never ported anything. I'm sure you can find a thread here on XDA that explains the fundamentals of porting roms. If I end up purchasing one, I'm definitely going to give it a shot! I use a gs3 as my primary right now, and I'll just debating whether or not I want the Note, or just wait for the international Note 2 and wait patiently for the network refarming? The plus to the Tmo Note is that I do have an upgrade on one of my lines, so it would be considerably cheaper!
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------
If there is anyone in the thread that also owns a gs3, I would like an opinion. Are you being bothered by performance of the Note because of the lesser hardware? I still have a Tmo Gs2 around here, & after the ics update things went downhill bad in the performance department. Even w/ custom Roms, I see lag & stuttering, & I'm wondering if this is the case w/ the Note? I don't expect it to match performance of the S4 chip set, I'm really just interested in the added functionality of the Spen, so long as performance is acceptable.
Anybody have any luck getting any of the AT&T Jellybean ROMs working on the T-mobile Note?

I also have the GSIII and as said above, the Note is a little slower but not much. I'm loving my Note and just looking for a good ROM to put on it which i'm sure will improve the speed. I also went to one of those cell phone stores that sells phones for multiple networks and got them to give me a full size SIM frame from where they used a cutter to make a micro SIM, and it works great as an adapter so I can still switch back to my GSIII with no problems.
You don't need an adapter if you're using your micro sim card on your Note. Just make sure it's align correctly and it should work. I had my sim card modified into a micro sim so I could use the iPhone 4. Still using that same sim card on my Note without an adapter.

Just got an n4

Hey guys just got an n4, I'm spending sometime going through the n4 forums and seeing what everyone has to say. Its good to be working with a much larger community than the s2 had. Having more options for roms feels great. I was a little gun shy about flashing a new recovery to my n4 but I took the plunge. I gotta say it was rather easy and not at all like I expected. I'm sure that the community has had lots of time to streamline things though.
Just to say what happen to my s2. I was flashing twrp in which I had downloaded from goo manager. I rebooted the phone and that was the last time I had saw any life from it. It previously had been having a hard time using any other kernel than the one that came with the rom. I tried everything I possibly could and still had no luck. Being Dependant on my phone I had to get another. Originally I had decided on the nexus 4 because of current price down at tmobile. Then i decided I was going to sell something of mine to cover it and i would get whatever I wanted. I had been wanting a s3 and was all set on that. keep in mind this wasnt a planned buy so me getting an htc one was out of the question. I played with a demo s3 and experience a little bit of lag. That same little bit of lag that I ignored when I bought the s2. Then I played with the n4 and experience non. I was sold and at a much lower down.needless to say I was impressed. So here I sit with my new n4 rooted and rocking a custom rom and Im enjoying the out right smoothness of it all.
Just thought id share my story of how I ended up here.
Welcome to the club!
The N4 is an awesome device that's for sure!
:good: :good: :good: :good:
Beware if u r a crack flasher. I haven't been able to be on one ROM for more then three days.

Are you serious. I didnt even consider the s4 I wasnt willing to pay for a phone I didnt feel was worth the upgrade. When I originally tested out the s3 I was in love. I gotta say though Im super impressed with this phone. A buddy of mine at work says "you got and older phone" Im like dude this thing rocks!
Does it have rom rot. Thats my only question. My s2 was never completely smooth but over time it would just bog out.

The S4 is a rush job, the software is pure crap and needs at least 2 to 3 updates to run as it should. Samsung realy dropped the ball on the S4 imo.
The S3 is much smoother and faster than the S4 though the hardware is less powerfull. The S4 does have a very good camera, great speaker and a very good 1080p screen.

I'm seriously tired of getting short changed with cpu's on tmobiles network. Why should we be getting the later version I mean who makes theses choices. I work with a bunch of phone junkies at work and we all talked it out. We saw no visable reason to buy the s4 over the s3.
Btw.... how is that franco kernel I have faux123's flashed right now. Any benefits you could point out since you are here?

nice. I got mt N4 2 days ago and i'm loving it. Running CyanogenMod 10.1 RC2 and franco kernel on mines. Replaced my old S3
Newbie here, got my N4 about three months ago, a shift from my older BlackBerry. Just recently rooted it and flashed franco kernel for better battery life... I'm currently eyeing Paranoid Android and will use it once a stable build with halo is released.
I have a question here, can I OTA my N4 while being rooted and with franco kernel or do I have to un-root my device? Thanks.

No, you have to be stock kernel and ROM there is plenty of guides on how to use ota with a rooted phone.
Carbonized and francofied N4
Thanks. Well, I think I will wait for the official announcement of 4.3 or 5.0 before flashing the custom ROM. Too bad since PA with Halo is very tempting...lol

I rmember my htc desire hd it was the most painful phone to unlock/root
Just flash franco for better screen, better battery life and smoothness
You should install a terminal and check how your CPU was binned. Seeing you just recently got it you'll notice that the back heats up quite a lot. That's normal. But you can definitely check the CPU binning and UV and it helps with the heat. It did for me. But that's just a suggestion
If you do want to do that I'll save you the trouble of looking how to check, well if you don't know how to..
Install android terminal
And busybox
Type in su
Reboot
Open terminal
Type su
Type dmesg | greps acpuclk
(Alternately: dmesg | greps PVS)
You'll get a couple lines of code
Either slow, nominal, fast, or faster.
It seems majority of people have fast. The better the binning the more your CPU can handle undervolting.

Android 4.3 probably won't be pushed for at least another 10-15 days... That's plenty of time to check out PA... I would suggest try it now then flash back to stock for the upgrade... Then wait till all the custom ROMs incorporate 4.3 into their builds... Then you can maybe even try another ROM for more flavour
In my opinion CM is better than PA by far... But... PACman which is a blend of PA, CM and AOPK is the best of all worlds... Do give it a try

I am the same ay which is why I'm surprised to have been on PA for over 1½ months. Must be because of the frequent updates lately
Nexus 4 sucks.

[Q] FireKat, Dynamic Kat- what are the main differences

i know they are both note 4 stock based roms, do they include the Samsung apps , cal, s-note, s-pen, keyboard, wifi calling, S-Health ,etc
is one more stable,
does one have better battery life,
Does one have more options
and other relevant things you can think of.
I don't want to know which is better, i just want to understand the feature differences.
Thanks
I think it's a preference thing. I prefer Firekat. I believe Firekat is more stock than dynamic.

+1 User preference. Try them both; 2-3 days each and choose. Rapture is another excellent Rom to look at too.

Hyperdrive was pretty good too. Sucks the dev didn't end up getting a note 4.
I used to use FireKat almost exclusively. It keeps the UI as stock and makes it so much better thanks to the added speed and power saving. Now I'm working on my own TW rom, which is coming out very nicely.
Dk rom with ael kernel will allow for gear vr and gear s function. In my opinion dk is superb

This is such great news TechnRom! I will try this setup soon!
Also another huge difference is that DynamicKat has TONS and TONS of user selectable tweaks, hacks and modifications built-in!
Cheers!
I dunno, all I know is I do not like lollipop.. nothing seems to do right on it. and has all kinds of problems for me.. This is the first rom that Ive ran across that mentions wifi calling still works.. (i have to have it due to my location of my house sucks.,) --- just finished flashing. Im excited.

FireKat is an extremely optimized ROM focused on speed, stability and battery life. No bells and whistles, purely about getting the most out of your note 4.
Highly recommended.
