Root your Note II using CF-Auto-Root from the Original Development forum; instructions are provided. As for the best ROM, stock is best. It's best because it runs like a raped ape and you don't have to do anything to get it. Enjoy!!

Omega is nice, but personally- i work with rooted stock. It's blazing fast either way, and i certainly don't want to give up all the samsung schtiks in it for a customized rom.

Should only root for kernel, this beast doesn't need custom rom, only kernel for some tweaks.

Don't get all this fascination with custom ROMs, sure it's fun to experiment with new features and tweaks but when it comes to stability, speed, reliability stock is best.
No disrespect to all the hardworking devs, but I don't think a handful of enthusiasts coding in their spare time will come out with something as smooth as a multi-billion dollar company with a rigorous design/development/testing process.
Custom ROMs always seems to work fine at first but then there are always annoying bugs that show up like "HDMI out not working" or "camera not capturing video at 1080p" with the blame going on Samsung for not releasing drivers.
Personally I use stock rooted with the flexibility of Nova Launcher Prime, best of both worlds

Xoom Paranoid Android

I might be porting paranoid Android to the WiFi Xoom When 3.00 is released but what do you guys think ?

I think you should port it to the Xoom 2 ME instead.. :cyclops:

Hell yes, the xoom is still much underutilised in terms of good roms. the more the merrier
can't imagine it'd be easy so good luck :good:

Don't worry I've done stuff like this all the time
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda premium

definately
I've been trying to find time to do some porting or something (never done it before) wanted to port over touchwiz ui so multi screen apps can be used it would make sense on the tablet.
Also in regards to paranoid android I nearly always use it or a derived ROM on my i9100 been trying to use the exposed framework on the Xoom 4.2 eos4 b
it it doesn't work

Yes please. that would be great. But do look at other PA based roms which sometimes have many more features before you decide which one to port.
:good::good:

Xoom 2
Xoom 2 first because we are stuck in ICS and after a long time waiting for this I think they wont update anymore. Original Xoom has a lot more support. And ICS is better but really crappy and slugguish too.

Any chance for some love to Stingray users?

Guys, if you're really going to do this, why won't you stop all the fuss and start working? I think spamming the thread (with posts like: "I WANT TO BE TESTER!", "Do for my device first!") won't really help. Please stop all the spamming and only post useful posts and let the OP tell you when the Alpha or Beta is done to you guys test . I read all the comments on the two pages and all I saw on the second page were spam, please that's not useful! Why not to come with an useful tip for him or something like that? You already showed your love to this idea, now let the dev do the work. Thanks for your comprehension.
@OP Good luck with that I'm looking forward for this!

ROM port suggestions

Alright you guys I need y'all to decide which ROMs to port check and original galaxy s phone and I can port it to our phone. Get started!

Hey skinZy,
I've been monitoring this thread, but know next to nothing about i9000 ROMs.
However, I figured I'd finally post to let you know that there are still some Vibrant users out here who get excited about the prospect of new ROMs.
Popped over in i9000 development, but couldn't tell what's hot besides the usual heavyweights.
XenonHD recently went official tho:

Build from the source tree

I'm working on it in case you haven't noticed the only one I have put out is cyanaosp recently. I have to have a decent computer to build in which right now I don't have. With summer coming I want more to do than just cyanaosp

[Q] Are there any stock Android roms for S4?

I have been very confused trying to find an AOSP rom for my S4. I am not a fan of touchwiz, I prefer Google's experience. But I can't make heads or tails of the available roms for this device. Are any of them similar to what I would get with Cyanogenmod?

I believe you should be looking in Original Android Development

Here's a list of every rom available for the Sprint GS4, and specifically a list of every AOSP rom. There are a ton of them for our phone - almost triple the TW roms.

Also the possibility of Sense 5 being ported to our device is very very slim.

It's actually very very probable if you have the right person doing it, as the One has the exact same processor as the S4 (APQ8064T)
And Sense 5 was ported to the S3, which has a similar, but not exactly the same, processor.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Haha well I didn't say it was improbable but that the possibility of it being it ported was slim. In the sense(no pun lol) that the chances of a fully functional port of it being ported are slim not that it is technically incapable of being done by some super dev ;P
My point was more so that I haven't seen anyone even mention of working on it for the S4 and that the S3 port is still in very early stages of development so I don't see it coming anytime soon especially if you are working on the S3 version at the moment! Though not saying you won't be able to get it on the S4 haha!

Is there an official cyanogenmod for i9500

I jumped over to get.cm and i couldn't find cyanogenmod for my device.
Can someone please tell me the codename i need to look for?

Unfortunately there is no official cm for i9500
Of course, there is this, but I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for a daily driver.

your device is exynos based, and thus closed source
you will not ever ever find an official release for this device (unless by some magic samsung releases the code)

Really?
Is this the only galaxy device that is closed source or there are others like the gs 4 which samsung didnt released the code for them?

There is development of CM by official CM programmers on CM for the i9500
The code is in a rough state now as development recently started.
Please see the below link for updates...

Please wait a little...

They were able to utiliz the the octa core cpu as intended by samsung? Pretty groundbreaking if so.
I was under the impression that the cm for 9500 was using very generic drivers for the cpu
Thus making it very poorly optimized
But yeah it boots just fine

Duh, it is only the 2nd alpha, hence I mentioned it in my post... It will be a couple weeks before everything gets ironed out but considering the first CM was released on Monday and the only major glitch 4 days later is the cam I'd say they did a pretty good job...
But don't take my word for it. Good look at the bench marks.....

The funny part was you thinking an incomplete rom without camera blows TW out the water.
It's a ridiculous statement.
It's just like me saying my porshe without engine is better than your working Volvo.
I just said it was funny. No need to get defensive

Not all i9505 owners boast about having better open source support etc. I for one am still running stock firmware and I'm happy enough, and will remain so until 4.3 is released. I don't think it is necessary to split the camp between i9500 and i9505, and certainly no need to have childish squabbles.

I think i9500 still wasn't given a codename because there isn't even a cyanogenmod nightly for it. When it happens, it will be given a codename.
