+1000 Very good ROM,you must try it
I don't know guys - they all look, feel and work the same to me - honestly I can't wait for some REAL custom roms not based on TouchWiz (which is super annoying) .. If you used MIUI you will know what I mean.
Do you think it will ever happen, or are we tied to S-Pen software embedded into stock rom?
Another vote for Rocket ROM. Keep in mind that there is a file to revert to the stock theme somewhere in the thread.
These threads aren't allowed but before it's closed... I use Cassies Rom
they are all good... Though we might differ on our experiences with the current available ROMs + considering the fact that though we have same Phone model and brand, but the fact is each of us has unique Galaxy Note on our hands (Example is some NOTE can tolerate extreme undervolting and some cant)... We have about 5 active ROM thread, you can visit each of the thread, read the users feedback and you can also post your queries there... or you can try each of the ROM, have each of them stay at least 3-5days on your phone, then you can decide whats best for you (like what i did)... GoodLuck...
Hi there,
I know this is an old thread, but since it was the first one I found when I was searching for good Roms, I figured I'd post my experience here. I've been using RocketRoms for a while now and find them clean and they work well. I've also been playing around with Franco's kernels, and so far I've never seen such great battery life as I have today with RocketRom v22 and Franco kernel 7. Once ICS roms become more stable I'll switch over, but I'm so pleased with performance now that I'm reluctant to switch over too early.
See my signature
Very smooth, no lag, great battery life.
stock LA1 + Franco/Abyssnote kernel here. Usability of Kernel depends on your note
As far as GB roms go I had great success with Darkyrom.
I've recently gone over to Midnote ICS - and so far it's the best of the current crop of ICS roms.
If you really need your phone to work every day without fault, go with darkyrom.
If you want the newest bells and whistles, go with midnote.
I've tried most of the GB ROMs, and personally, there is only this 'refined' one which i always go back to... DarkyROM
Run it with Franco kernel, you got a bloody satisfying setup
Thread Closed
These sort of threads always take a wrong turn and turn into flame war. There is no best rom for one user. Read the information available and make your own decision.

The best custom rom is the one that works best for you. What are you looking for ? ICS / JB / Hybrid ?? They are all available here, and they are all just a bit different from each other based on the developers choices and flair.
I've flashed them all, and whereas one may fit my needs better than another - it does not make the other a bad rom, just not my choice.
With respect to the time and effort of all the developers here - they are all the best, choose the one that you like best
Good luck and happy flashing !!!
Regards,
:good:

This question is FORBIDDEN! lol
No one can really say which is best. Just check out each ROM's thread and see what they have to offer and try them out. You never know which one is best (for you) until you've tried them out yourself.
I've tried out a few different ROMs and have switched between them quite a bit.
For example:
If you're into the look of pure Android (AOSP):
AOKP is very popular, full of customization, so if you're looking to tweak every little thing, it might be great for you.
CyanogenMod is super popular, has a good amount of customization, but not as much as AOKP
Paranoid Android is great too, especially if you want options to switch between Phablet, Tablet and Phone UI
If you like Samsung's stock look and feel (TouchWiz), but just want to debloat then something like Tab2lite is a good way to go.
This is the development thread! Post questions in the q/a thread only!!

Anybody on xda should know by now that nobody will tell you that. Even if the amount of time and key pressed telling you to search for yourself is actually no less than to just tell you a recommendation. I'm using the aokp rom right at about the top of Page 1.

AOKP Milestone 1 is pretty good, amazing battery life.

Cm9/10 are both super stable. Aokp is like cm10 but its got more customization and overclocking built in.
To each his own, try them all and pick one.

hello,
I'm looking for the custom rom that works better than the other and that is most current.
thanks
Milestone 1 - Calls not working bluetooth (P3100)
CM9/10 - Calls not working bluetooth (P3100)
JB OTA Leak - Calls bluetooth OK (P3100)
First of all, the Development forums throughout the site are for development releases, not questions. Q&A forums are the correct place for all questions.
Secondly, as explained above there is no "best rom". Try several and see what suits you best. You can easily spend time reading what has already been written about them and make educated decisions from that.

Hey all
I'm coming from the Amaze, and before that, the Nexus One and the G1. I like the camera app on my S4, and i haven't tried S-Voice yet. Outside of these features though, i'm not sure i care for the original stock rom. I saw a poll for what everyone thought was the best Rom for the i9500, i was wondering about opinions of the i9505 variant.
Looking for really good battery life, all the features of the stock camera (if not more) and better responsiveness than the stock rom. I figure i should stick with TW based roms for now until i find apps that can replace them. My main purpose in this phone was the ability to run mirrorlink to my car's stereo, so i can't loose that either.
So then, what is everyone's favorite TouchWiz based rom? Or, if you prefer, what rom has at the very least the same features as the stock rom for the camera? Is there something that equals s-voice? Can i still mirrorlink with that rom?
thanks all!

First off there is a whole separate section for t mobile variant discussions that will give you a lot more relevant information for the t mobile device.
Second, threads about what the best ROM are generally are not welcome on xda because it is an impossible question. Only you can decide what the best ROM is for you. What makes battery life great on my ROM might severely limit your ability to use it the way you prefer. Everything depends on your taste, and how you use the phone. The only way to decide what ROM is best is to start flashing them and testing.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

I'm not a newb to xda. I didn't ask for a best, i asked for opinions of favorites. I feel there is a BIG difference there. Now, i did mention that i saw a poll for what people thought was the best rom for the non-T-Mo variant, but that only inspired this thread in part.
Hopefully i can get some real responses regarding what other people find as their favorite roms based on the criteria i'm looking for, or reasons why another rom is their favorite in general. I don't really have the time to sit and flash roms all day long anymore.
Does anyone know the best rom that would be the closest thing to the original lg ui? With all or at least most of the features like knock on. i actually like the phone and the software it comes with so id like to keep it the same i just need to root it to improve my battery life. And one that makes the battery life much better, right now mine is terrible it drains for no reason at all. And if you could provide the links for where to download them that would be greatly appreciated!
Go with StockMOD rom and StockMOD kernel.

no such thing as best rom, nor kernel. not only will every device react differently to every rom/kernel but also all our needs differ, so does our usages. best way for you to find the best rom for your phone and for your needs is to try out as many as possible. when you find your pbones and your best rom, you will know it.
Not mean to be rude or disrespect but I would go ahead and give you some advice
1. Question like "which is best ROM" will be or tends to be deleted pretty quick. Not sure whether XDA rule or not but no ROM comparison allowed. This best vs other best is a type of comparison that could lead to argument.
2. There is no BEST ROM. Each people has their own "best" ROM which suitable most for their use. My best ROM is not necessarily your best ROM at all.
3. Based on what you said, what make you think rooting and installing other ROMs will make your phone's battery better? Blindly assume custom ROM will have better on this or better on that is WRONG.
4. Some of our members have 8 hrs on-screen time within total 2 or 3-day run time. Some disable everything, some enable everything and they're all bone-stock LG ROM.
No one stops you from flashing ROM but just bear in mind those info.

Alright thanks for the advice, i just joined yesterday. Whats the difference between stock based rom, and AOSP based rom?
stock-based ROM is custom ROM that based on the stock ROM. It looks pretty much the same (same GUI, same framework, ....) with vastly enhancements.
AOSP-based ROM is like vanilla ROM, very close to untamed Android ROM.
Put it this way, Android (or Google) create its ROM, it's AOSP ROM. Purely.
Then mfg such LG, HTC, Sammy, ... take that ROM and create their own GUI on top of it. So Sammy has TouchWiz, LG has ..... whatever they call, HTC has Sense, Motorola has Blurr, .....
Then come the providers such AT&T, Verizon, .... They load ton of bloatware on top of it.

Yes they are stable and pretty much stock, with just improved performance and battery. What variant of phone do you have?

So just a few points seeing as you're new here:
1. Question threads should be created in the Q&A forum... If you're asking a question, post it there.
2. We don't allow "Best ROM" threads... the reasons have already been explained to you.
3. Your questions are some of the most basic and don't require the creation of a new thread... You just need to read.
Thread moved and closed.
I just rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery, now I want to flash custom rom, I also want to keep the S Note, Action Memo app. Any suggestions? Sorry I am new to all of these. Thank you in advance for your help.

As per some rule you can't ask for best ROM/ Kernel suggestion, but I like stock based ROMs, so I use the Deodex version of OF3 ROM, Deodex because I need Xposed. If you don't need that you can use Odex version.
This is the one I use, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
OF3 however is not latest, OGX (X=something) is, but I don't care really. The above ROM doesn't come with a lot of options, just very few features added, but that's what I like, as close as possible to stock ROM. If you don't need Xposed and need a ROM with lots of features then look for AryaMod.

Not true anymore, mods changed it
They even made a front page discussion about people favourite
To advise someone what is the best, Is based on there own experience and opinion.
My own experience may be mainly gaming.....
Or it may be with Business models, Each depends on the type of feedback, result in complete different ROMS....
Can you see where am going with this?
I can answer you question, but only Vague:
S note and Action Memo - Why????
The reason i ask, if you want to keep them, Then you can only go with a TW based ROM. This is the TouchWiz (Samsung ROM)
If you dnot have a valid reason, other than you use them.
The a CM or any AOSP Based ROM, Does not have ANY TouchWiz Feature, For example, the Spen, The Menu, The functions.
But there are additional Apps that are matched in results or in some cases better (As they have been developed on the feedback of the note users)
S-Pen command is an example.
Then you can get addition application like: Fiinote that are just as good as Action Memo, Or EverNote or OneNote.
The LIST Goes one.
My one advise to you, Is to enjoy flashing and try them all, See what grabs your attention, Every person on XDA is different, and this is possibly why one of the rules come in about BEST ROMS.
Its too much optionion based, and everyone has there own option.
I hope this is not a complete pointless post, and helps a little.
But there is no harm in trying, and you will have alot of Fun seeing each developers take on it
Thank you so much @dave7802 for your help. I really appreciate it and it all makes sense. Everybody has own different preference. That is what I am going to do, I will try different roms and see where to stick. Glad I have this XDA app on my phone and receiving info and answers from you guys. Thanks again sir. Cheers!

Okay, that's excellent! I never did like that decision anyway. Thanks for informing mate.
My advice is Audax L. Stock based, reliable, always up the date, all mods which are neccessary and useful, easy flashable with aroma installer and has own costum kernel which is always up the date and really good for performance and battery consuming. Just try it.

+1 (not biased at all)
Do the non-tw Roms support pressure sensitivity through ie; sketchbook? It's been a long time since an official lollipop update. .
I'm usin' the DarkLord s6 port V2.0 from several weeks as daily driver, it's good and reliable, no problems exept a minor bug with fast notes.

How do you guys stay on TW?
I love it, the features dont get me wrong, Some of them are very nice.
But the speed is notability different coming from using CM for more than 12 months.
Small things like, Notification Status Pull Down, the delay from swiping down, to it appearing is noticeable slow.
App Drawer, open close applications, Accessing menus, All have a delayed response. Multi Tasking loading.
I have tried the following ROMs,
Dark Lord S6 and Note variants.
AryaMod V7.2
Norma Rom
Alliance
The BEST in regards to speed, But still noticeable is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
As another user advised (Thanks)
This is no slander, As i do enjoy touchwiz, But i will admit, i am a speed freak, When i want someone i want it yesterday.

To me CM/AOSP has too many missing UI/UX features, requiring more swipes and clicks for activities I perform. Also, once one has actually grown accustomed to TW, it requires time to learn. If you're busy in your life, you don't want to be non-performing and slow for 2 weeks when learning the ins-and-outs of a new ROM/UI/UX variant.
That's why I have not switched.
I accept the slowness of TW, but it's not too slow for me (and I multi-task a lot).
I'd be willing to try out CM builds, but it seems impossible to find realisting non-fanboy reviews of CM builds on Note3, that detail:
- what real bugs there are (sometimes the small annoying bits in Wifi/BT/sleep/battery can drive one inside, even if 90% of casual users don't notice them)
- what Pen/TW/camera module features does one has to give up when switching to non-Samsung ROM? CM/AOSP ROMs will always be missing Samsung libs, apps and as such many hardware supported features due to their generic nature. I have not seen an honest list that just lists all the missing features from Note3 CM/AOSP roms, without resorting to "nobody uses that feature anyway, so I didn't list it" type of comments.
Just backing up, cleaning up, flashing, re-installing, re-merging apps and data is so much work (full work day for me) that I just don't have time for that, unless I know what kind of deep doo-doo I'm going to end up with.
This, imho, is one of the reasons preventing some users from switching over, but yes, Samsung's "we are too lazy to update Note 3" policy is really pushing me towards CM builds
BTW, to not be totally off-topic I'm using DarkLord 5.0.2 build and it is so-so. Sometimes it lags badly. Sometimes it closes background apps by itself (way too fast, even with no huge multitasking). I'd like to get it patched and update to 5.1.1. but until Samsung releases the 5.1.1 ROM for Note 3, no such luck.
How do I stay on TW?
The simple answer is, I bought a Note 3, there are quite a lot of micro/ small things which make it a Note, and as long as I want to use a Note phone like a Note phone, I would use TouchWiz, end of story.
I am a professional. I need quite a lot of things. If I were a kid with no life other than to show off to friends hey look I have the latest version of Android, do you have it?, and take pride in that, probably I would go the AOSP route. Thank me that I can't be one of those low IQ people! :laugh: If you don't have the brain to process what's good/ complete and what's pathetic/ half baked nonsense, then anything which comes with a decent enough packing will look good to you.
