CyanogenMod
CM 11 (Android KitKat) NIGHTLIES
CM 10.1 (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean) STABLE
CM 9 (Android 4.0 ICS) STABLE
CWM Based Recoveries
There are hundreds of roms available. It differs from person to person which roms he/she likes.
I personally like CyanogenMod. Just look here and find a rom.
Almost all threads have a guide how to install the rom. If you don't like the rom you just simply install another one.
If you want to get started, install CWM Recovery as listed above.

[Q] i'm currently using froid kang v18 ans bricked kernel and i've a question

Hello
I'm using droid kang rom and bricked kernel, i would like to know i have to install jishnu' caméra mod to have better picture or not ?
Bests regards
Hi,
Which one you are referring? Because there is two mods...
On is not (fully) compatible with CM based rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516061, so since you use a rom based on CM, maybe avoid it if don't want some problems...
The other is compatible with CM based rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598999 (it's a port of the LG camera)..
The best is to read the OP, try to read the last pages for feedbacks then make a Nandroid backup and test by yourself to see if there is an improvement or not...

Note 8010 4.4 Touchwiz

Hello,
long time no see. I bought the note 10.1 a year ago and still waiting for an update. Is there a 4.4 Touchwiz port for the 8010. I am about to install a custom rom. Any recommendations which TOUCHWIZ based custom rom is good. because i am a heavy S-Note user. Or is there a S-Note(2014 verison) port for the 8010.

Nope. None as of yet but we have kitkat omnirom that works very well. No s-note tho.
Next time use the Q&A forum.?
Ask in Q&A forum, this is Dev forum.
BTW, ARHD is a great TouchWiz ROM
It's true that there is not an official kitkat rom or any sort of port of a touchwiz ROM, but we do have official confirmation that the original Note 10.1 will be getting the kitkat update. There has been a partially functional leak already. We can probably expect an official update (and custom roms based on it) in the next month or two.
So while installing a custom ROM might be a great idea, if you like touchwiz you ought to hold out for a bit longer.
i guarantee we all will receive the update at the end of 2015

But we already have 4.4.2 tho it's a test build it is functioning very well and it's very smooth
So as you say in the end of 2015 we might get android 5.0 hahahaha

[Q] Is cyanogenmod 11 a custom rom??

Explanations needed about custom roms for the Tab 2.
I have install CM 11 ver 4.4.4 on a Acer A700 & Nook HD+; no problems. Now with the Tab 2, I see all kinds of "custom roms" but the ver from Cyanogenmod isn't listed as a custom rom in the 'everything you want to know about the Galaxy Tab 2' thread or something like that.
I do see SlimKat, OpenKang, Expresso, Omnirom, etc but no mention of Cyanogenmod (CM 11) except as that the custom roms were derived from it(?). The big question is that should I use one of the listed/known "custom roms" or stay with what I got from the Cyanogenmod site even if the Cyanogenmod wasn't listed as a "custom rom"?
I guess the problem is that I've only encountered the A700 & Nook HD+ with only 1 version of CM 11 on the XDA forums. Since Cyanogenmod has their own website, was that the reason that it wasn't listed or considered as a custom rom?
Definitely some confusion here. HELP!

Yes, CM11 is a custom ROM. The version from CM's site works well.
If you are looking for other good custom ROM's, I would try @Android-Andi's Homemade OmniRom.
It has multi-window and really good battery life since he fixed the KK battery drain in his version.
SlimKat is another good choice. If you flash CM11, you should also flash @Android-Andi's AA_Anykernel CM version and the vendor blobs.
His kernel fixes the battery drain issue.

Just remember that not everybody has the drain (I never have) so may not need Andis super Kernel and may be able to try others. FYI

[Q] WANT HELP REGARDING DEVICE ROOTING AND UPDATING TO ANDROID KITKAT 4.4.x

Hello! Dear Developers And Seniors on this forum I want you all to guide me in updating my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)(Indian Version- 3G, GSM, WIFI, 16 Gb) to Android Kitkat 4.4.x.
I know there are several ROM's regarding the same on this forum. But I am little bit confused as to choose which ROM?
My Current Firmware:
Samsung's Official 4.4.2 Firmware & the device is NOT ROOTED.
My Requirements:
1 - I want a "Complete Bug Free" Kitkat 4.4.x ROM for my device.
2- I want that ROM which includes all official features of Kitkat 4.4.x and in which all features of Kitkat 4.4.x works flawless.
3- I want that ROM with which my device wont get SLOW or HANGS/FREEZES or SHUTS OFF.
4- I want that ROM which has a little bit Samsung type looks (Optional Requirement).
My MAJOR Confusion:
1- I visited the Official CyanogenMod Website and saw that there is CM 11 made for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P 3100. The latest version there is "NIGHTLY 27-11-2014".
Now, I am confused about what is included in this CM11 Nightly 27-11-2014 version and what are the bugs inside it (Is it Totally Bug free and fulfills my above mentioned requirements or not).
2- Whether I should go for Official CM 11 Nightly 27-11-2014 Version or the ROM's listed on XDA Forum such as OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
3- What is the difference between Official CM 11 Nightly ROM Vs. OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
I request you all to answer my post soon so that I could be able to run the best Kitkat 4.4.x ROM on my device just like you.:
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580426
The difference between the different ROMs available can be features, kernel, etc.
What OS are you running on your computer? Before you can install the ROM. you will have to install a custom recovery. This thread should in the Q&A section, so I will ask a moderator to move it there.
Don't be offended, but I'm stunned. Not with your ignorance, but how you ignore this community rules. You demand answers for questions, that are all already given on those subforums. I suppose you didn't even read sticked threads. Don't make me wrong, we are all here to help each other.
There's no such thing as super stable, full featured, bugs-free rom. Noone will also have time to write a book about differences between them. You want some answers, just read. All I can do is to give you a few suggestions, look for:
1. P3100 CM11 M11 snapshot (AndroidAndi)
2. Newest GAPPS (ie. Full modular)
3. Eventually OC kernel (AGNi, Dhollmen or Blackhawk)
Before even thinking about any customs, you need to know about:
1. Rooting / custom recoveries (ie. TWRP)
2. Flashing methods (Odin / CWM)
I can't write about all of this in one thread, it's pointless, all is here, just search.
If you want to know about differences between rooms than just look for first post in each thread dedicated to them. But you should start with Cyanogenmod, you can call it a 'base' for many other distributions. (This is not quite true, but it's another story).

As far as I've searched, I found no CWM ROMs for your device.
This is all there: http://www.gadgetstroop.com/2015/02/Custom-Roms-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-Exynos-SM-N910C-SM-910H.html
Maybe you'll have to wait till someone ports one.
