First of all please accept my apologies if I am posting in the incorrect site location - this isn't the most user friendly site I've ever come across, but it is definately helpful to to get help from you friendly and helpful people!
I've just purchased a Galaxy Note 2 (N7105 Vodafone Australia). I've managed to unlock, root and install TWRP perfectly.
My problem is that I've tried three different custom roms (and made donations to say thanks) in the last few days and none of them seem to work properly with the s pen. The three roms I've tried are Cyanogen, Android Revolution and Omega (in that order). All three of these roms seem great, until I take out the s pen....
The only one of these three roms that will even recognise when the pen touches the screen is Cyanogen (which is the only of the three roms that don't come with the samsung s pen apps). Both Android Revolution and Omega came with the s pen apps pre-installed, but don't seem to work with the s pen at all?? Am I doing something wrong? Are there s pen drivers or something that I need to install? Omega is currently installed and it does vibrate and make a noise when I remove the pen from the dock, but does nothing when the pen touches the screen.
Another thing to note before anyone tries installing these roms on this device is that, after installing Android Revolution or Omega, the phone has no reception and says sim isn't installed. I managed to correct this on Android Revolution by installing the modem driver on top of the rom - this took me a day or two to figure out it was the issue and how to fix! But it doesn't seem to fix the problem with Omega rom, which is my favourite (apart from the problems listed).
I know its a pretty new phone and therefore there aren't many tried and tested roms, but the three I've tried are pretty common so I was expecting more information about them online than what I've found. Any assistance or advice in relation to getting the s pen to function and the phone to recognise the sim card on Omega v13 with my N7105 would be greatly appreciated. If I can't fix this pretty quickly I'm going back to stock rom until there's more info out there about roms that work with the N7105.
thanks

Ok thanks I'll try there. Thanks for the quick response.
so do i
ROM
Hey not sure if you found what you were looking for over in the Note II forum or not but it sounds to me like you are flashing the wrong ROM. I had similar issues with the SIM not being recognized on my Note II. I was trying the same ROMs you mentioned. Make sure the ROM you are flashing is for the exact model phone you have. Also, some ROMs will require you to flash the correct radio for your carrier.
Definitely head over to the Note II forum to find more specific information but keep those things in mind! Hope this helps!

Thanks. Somebody PM'd me with a link to a few Note 2 roms - but the forum won't let me post it because I'm too new of a member. If anyone needs it just PM me.
I'm trying Aroma, but am now havings issues with TWRP seeing the zip file... I'm still trying - currently copying the zip to the TWRP folder on the sd card because I've found some forums about TWRP reading zips from internal storage. I've also had issues with Clockworkmod on this Note 2, so would rather not have to go back to it. Clockworkmod worked well for me for years on my old trusty HTC Desire HD, but really made a mess of the Note 2... I've only had this phone 8 days and had sooo many issues with just trying to get a custom rom running!! Even if this works, its only Android 4.1.2 - Whereas I've got 4.2.1 running smooth as butter on a two year old HTC
hmmm

Cool deal. I hope you get it worked out. That is strange that Clockwordmod is giving you issues. That is what I use and it has treated me well. Maybe it has to do with the difference in hardware since I have the US AT&T version? Good luck!
Hi All:
This is my first time here, I've been looking for a Rom for my S3 which can make it more similar to S4 with all its featuers.
I flashed many Rom and most of them has the 4.2.2 update but it has the nexus touch which I didnt like on my S3.
Any recommendations for a good Rom which is stable and have no issues..
Thanks in advance

The only answer I can give you is: Take a look in the developers forum. If you see something you like, try it. Maybe go for a rom with a stock (Samsung/TouchWiz) look, since that's what you're used to from the stock ROM. Actually, I'd start off by rooting your phone(you've already done that, since you've flashed a lot of ROMs), and remove all the bloatware you never use from stock ROM. Maybe replace a few of the stock apps with better alternatives. This makes the phone faster, and frees up memory.
You can also freeze apps, if you're not comfortable with removing them from the stock ROM. This thread discusses which apps are safe to freeze/remove. The OP links to this document showing a spreadsheet of apps that are safe/not safe to freeze/remove.
If you're not familiar with the term "freezing apps", you should do a forum search(or just Google) Titanium Backup. It's a feature LOADED (you guessed it...) backup-app, which allows you to freeze apps if you don't want to uninstall them completely. In short, it "disables" the app, removing it from the drawer, but keeping it installed. You can easily unfreeze the apps if you need them to work for you again.
Hope this helped you on you way. The world of custom ROMs is huge, so you're guaranteed to find somehing you like.

Kombian

Thanks a lot for all the information that you've shared with me, I am still not familiar with many things in rooting which I might need your help with that.
The first thing, what you guys mean by Stock Rom? does it mean the original android framework that was not modified yet?
2nd: how to remove all the bloatware? and what do you mean by bloatware?
3rd: is it bad for the handset to be flashed again and again with many different ROMs? I always follow the steps which the developers mention in flashing any new ROM, so is there any right ways to do that without damaging my phone?
for now these are all the doubts that I have about rooting, but I might come up with many points in the future,
I hope you guys can help me in getting more knowledge about it, and thanks a lot for your precious time that you are giving me
Thanks again

This Pico just have 512MB ROM and left about 100 for you, if you want more space just partition SD card as internal memory, but you won't be able to remove SD card or you will lose data.

Thread Closed
As this is effectively another best ROM thread, I'm closing this one before it goes any further.
We don't allow these kinds of threads because they can easily can arguments between users of different ROMs and it can quickly get out of hand.
If you want to know which ROM is the most stable, the best way to find out is to test them out by yourself. That way you'll know exactly how stable the ROM is considering someone else's opinion on "stable" could be different to yours.
We're also not here to spoonfeed members the answers. Obviously we don't mind people asking questions but the answer to this question could/should easily be found out by you testing them

If you do not care for Samnusmg stock, then I would suggest that you flash the Carbon ROM KitKat 4.4.2. This ROM is AOSP but is like cream cheese - smooooth and bug free. I have a N8013. Samsung based KitKat is a really poor effort from Samsung. It is quite average...
If you are bent on having Sam stock, try Gnabo ROM. Actually, try carl1961's method here first to get an idea of KK on the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770009 .
It is a very good starting point. Be careful what recovery you flash. For all I have suggested, Philz advanced CWM recovery works smoothly.....Flash this first then theROM.
Good luck!

Get stock firmware from Samsung or Sammobile.com . and flash with ODIN.
Unfortunately Samsung will not be releasing any updates past 4.1.2 for the gt-n8013. They have come to the conclusion that anyone in north america does not deserve an update and will never release the update for the tablet even though they had an official press release stating we would get the update.
They don't care that you paid a premium and promised updates for this tablet. They expect you to buy a new tablet every year to get any android updates!
Two words! LEAVE SAMSUNG!

Pretty sure you need a pc to get the custom recovery installed.
Really then what does the cwm recovery app do?

Any custom recovery needs to be designed to Work for your specific device. It may be possible to install a custom recovery with an app but you should definately do lots of reading before you attempt it.

I'm pretty new to this, so have patience with me.
Just installed KitKat 4.4.2 on my GT-N8013. I wanted to tick the USB Debugging" checkbox, but there is no development section in the settings.
Am I missing something ?
Yes you are. In order activate the developer section you have to tap on build number about 7 or so times. That will make it appear.

This is sounding like self promotion, however, I think you should flash my debloated ROM. It is a lot more simple than manually debloating it yourself.

Virgin Mobile J700P
Hello! First, thank you all for everything you do here--this is an extremely helpful community of people.
I have a Galaxy J700P with Virgin Mobile. Running J700PVPU1APH4 software. I've rooted it and had no success with creating a second partition on the SD card to use Link2SD for apps. I've tried formatting on PC via Minitool Partition Wizard, on the phone using Aparted, and also tried with Apps2SD. Link2SD simply refuses to recognize the 2nd partition ("Mount script error"). It has been suggested to me to try Cyanogenmod or a custom Lollipop (to use adoptable storage).
In short, I'd like to flash a ROM that will allow me to use my SD card for app storage. Being able to continue using Google Play Store apps is also preferred. Are there any suggestions for software that is the most stable for this phone that will allow me to use SD card for app storage? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you for reading!

It;s not self promotion at all man cause i used yours first lol, its was very nicely done until i needed some of those apps for basic functionality. I needed the music and video player and i found that the signal was shotty with your rom compared to stock. There were some others that i cant remember right now. So, I then dirty flashed the stock rom over your rom and added custom recovery and superuser. I gained the tethering feature and the update prl and services which i need in my area sometimes to get better coverage. I know a lot of people dont mind this as they want the minimal. I know Im a noob with this stuff as i came from the lg 740 and this is a whole diff game. Thank you though for your efforts in making the rom i have yet to look on how to thank people cause im still new here. Sorry for the one long paragraph by the way

Hi!
I have a problem on a J7 2016. Google services eats the battery, being accountable for up to 60% of battery use on every cycle.. I know it is a pretty common problem on lots of phones, but not being able to root / install custom rom (not my phone), any advice on solving it? - besides stopping google account sync.
I have tried uninstalling updates, with no success.

EDIT: I guess I should tell I am on stock MM, last update. Haven't tried to do a HR - full reinstall, hoping there will be a better option

Would ROMS built for the J700 F/H/M be compatible with the J700T? There is not many ROMS built for the J700T, while there is a bunch for the J700 F/H/M.
The only difference I see in the phones are the different carriers so you would think that they would be compatible with each other.

I don't think so. I had my old Galaxy J-5 fried due to flashing ROM not meant for my device. I would suggest not doing it if it is your primary device. But go ahead if you're a development nut and wanna try it anyways. If you try it and it works, update your post here so others can know.

Then I will install the TWRP, then root, then proceed to flashing the rom. In this process, where will I unlock the bootloader? Do I need it to be unlocked before I install the TWRP?
3. I know that I can google it, but is there an easiest way to unlock the bootloader?
Sorry, I have many questions.
Hi. I have your exact same model ?
To unlock the bootloader, enable developer options - in settings, about device, software info. Tap build number 7 times.
Now go back to settings, developer options - enable OEM Unlock. Also enable USB Debugging.
Done.
Are on marshmallow? If yes, make sure SuperSu is version 2.78 or newer.
Tip - make sure to backup your fon first as soon as you install TWRP. BEFORE rooting.
Keep 2 copies of this backup.
To install the Pixel rom you must already be on stock marshmallow

How hard would it be to port a ROM built for the J700 F/H/M to the J700T?
