[Q] Still on stock 4.1.2, any better option/ROM available yet?

Hi, I'm kinda new here, bought the tablet only few days ago and didn't play with it too much,
Have updated to the latest official version (4.1.2) and rooted.
I'm on N8013.
I saw the half-way leaked version of the kitkat on the general post but it says no word if it fits for anything else but N8000.
I don't really care for Kitkat but 4.1.2 is too old..
Any stable release / ROM with TW for a newer version? (I prefer stock)
kinda hard to tell since most of the posts are from 2012 and I have never been to any of them.. you probably know better than I do.
Thanks !

The leaked rom works fine on my N8013, I didn't even have to wipe out my device, kept all my apps from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2. Unfortunately, there is no other versions of Samsung's rom between 4.1.2 and 4.4.2. If you really want to upgrade, I think the leaked rom works fine. As long as you have made a backup in some recovery, you shouldn't have much to worry about.

The leaked KitKat verion is for testing purpose only, many features disabled.
Stock or close to stock ROM is available, ARHD is the one.
I'm using ARHD for years now & it's very stable.
Read carefully & understand everything on the ARHD thread before doing anything.

All the features work. You can flash a deodexed rom, install some mods, and you are good to go

Hmm ARHD = revolution?
If so it is also 4.1 so it ain't worth switching. ?
If not please link me..
And about the leaked 4.4.. what do you mean not all features are enabled?
Could you say which? And deodexed run over the disability? Is it stable enough?
I really have no time and effort to fight with mess and bugs..
Thank you for your tips

ARHD = Android Revolution HD
ARHD is the best close to stock 4.1.2 ROM I've ever use. (I have HTC Sensation & GT-N8000 all using ARHD)
Right now there is no Stock KitKat for N8000/8013/8010/8020
All you can get is LEAKED version of KitKat which is only for TESTING purpose, so don't expect to get all features working.
Some "testers" said they get all features working, some said WiFi is not working.
I will not recommend you to flash it, at least wait for official release.
Official KitKat release may be very different / may have features not in the Leaked TEST ROM
[GT-N8000][Leaked firmware] N8000XXUDND5 (Android 4.4) - Open Europe (OXA) [26-04-14]
NOTE:
Mike, the ARHD chef, said he will cook KitKat ROM as soon as the official release out on the net
Lord Boeffla also said that he will make KitKat version of Boeffla Kernel as soon as the official release is there.

I have installed and running Gnabo ROM V1.
It is a great ROM , it seems that on my N8013 if you take away the fact that my WiFi does some 'lags' everything works simply fine.

Please tell us your ability and experience flashing roms? Using cwm/ twrp recovery. Do you know and understand adb? Have you ever flashed a device and know how to backup before doing so?
The above efforts MUST be something you need to understand Before you Flash anything.
The note tablet is to expensive to go flashing without knowing how to get back and recover if you have issues.
With the above said.. The issue with the stock 8000 rom and the leak is Bootloader . Changes your tablet info to look likes its a 8000 instead of 8xxx . In the past when the Stock firmware for your device is released you have been able to get back to the correct version for your device. BUT WELL BUT We or nobody can tell you for sure..
Again read read and think . Most important read the threads and post from people who have went back to 4.1 stock for there Device.
I know my post may sound Confusing. If so DO NOT FLASH your device.IF you know all of this already Sorry for the post. Just dont wanna see a help I'M
BRICKED POST from anyone
Good Luck..
ohh im on 4.1 rom Tweaked by me For my own use. I do not make roms for public use because i'm Not that smart or have time to help with issues .And most on here would not appreciate pink purple and floral UI.. Giggles.

Very thanks for your warning!
I'm well based by switching ROMs in my last 2 phones and few others some times..
My new GN tablet is only rooted so this would be my first one..
I'm of course gonna nandroid backup and read the special instructions before switching.. the big reason for this long post thread is to save me precious time of trying each of any ROMs and testing it..

I understand..
For me with the Note 10.1 and even my note 2 phone. I bought it for the s-pen capability. For me i have tried many roms and yes each has there own advantages. Not saying nothing bad about any of them. As i have took some small pieces from some Like frame work changes for my Slightly modified Stock. But I still think for the Note line .. Stock is the best solution for those who bought it for the s-pen and muli window Real work able tablet i think Stock or VERY Near is Best.
The Developers on the note devices have much more to deal with then many others due to the S-pen features and they are awesome at it .

Have installed the Gnabo ROM.. Looks cool.. Let's hope it won't makes me troubles

I actually reflashed the stock kitkat version linked by some 1 here..
It seems to be more stable and has the default stock tw apps.. I actually prefer the old s note app over the new one so now I have both..
Also got back the defalt samaung keyboard which has the ability to handwriting recognation.. Gnabo didnt have it..

[Q] is MoKee any good?

Hi there
I will shortly be joining either the custom rom user world or bricked phone world. :silly:
I am absolutely new to the topic and would love some advice from you all.
My phone is stock ICS and I want to switch to a ROM which is very stable and fast.
Earlier i was thinking of going for PA or Cyanogen but neither seem to officially support Motorola Atrix 2. :crying:
MoKee is the only distribution which apparently has official support for my phone.
I was wondering if there is any other ROM which officially supports Atrix 2?
How good is MoKee? Would you recommend this ROM to a newbie? From what i know, Cyanogen seems to be the easiest to install.
Also, can someone list the steps to installing Mokee?
I read the content at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305303
but for a 1st time newb all that seems very intimidating.
thank you

All of new ROM's for our Atrix2 are fast and most of them are stable (depends on user )
& Even though CM 11 is not official for our phone, but currently it is the most stable and all bug fixed rom for our A2
(I am not saying Mokee or other ROMs are not stable, but at this stage CM 11 has all bug fixed and I am sure Mokee & other will incorporate it soon :fingers-crossed: )
Also all ROM's have same procedure to install, so all ROM's are easy to install (Thanks to BMM)
You can follow steps in that link or check this video tutorial for using BMM
"Axxiom Kat" also has official support to our device.
It doesn't matters (at least for this device) whether the ROM has official support or not, our device has a team of some Recognized Contributors and A2EPT (Atrix 2 edison porting team) which keep the ROM up to date as like it is an official ROM :victory:
So dont worry flash any ROM you want :highfive:

Thanks Sameer!
Guess CM11 is the best bet for me.
Btw, what is the kernel update?
Would you recommend me to go for a custom kernel now? or is it something i should attempt only when i have the hang of modding?

All rom's have inbuilt custom kernel (kexec kernel), if you wanna try overclocking your device you can use JBX kernel
JBX can be flashed after ROM installtion.
But for a newbie like you dont flash it yet, first try some ROM's; when you get used to it then try JBX.
And if this helps you, dont say thanks press Thanks button below the post !!
And we have separate Q&A section for question and answers
Please dont post questions here in general section

MoKee is bug free and gps works berry good

Mokee is stable and you can try SlimKat as well

Slimkat worked best for me as far as battery life, but cm11 was best overall
atrix 2 cm11

Which Lollipop ROM is better??

I just wanted to try the lollipop experience and i dont know which rom is better. Im between the anerik ROM (maybe with pink kernel or donkey kang) and experience 9.0.2
Have you tried anyone?? What about performance and battery life? Any fc? Random reboot?? I would like to flash any but I don't know which one. Dt2w is also important for me.
Anyone who could help me thanks a lott

I own moto g xt1033 dual sim phone currently running crDroid rom latest kitkat version. As per my experience, the custom version of lollypop android for our phone is just under development with few or many bugs yet to be fixed. I don't know cause I haven't tried any till date but there are many custom roms based on cm12 in the development thread, however, with some bugs on them. If you've tried xperience.cyanogen rom, 4.4 version then you'll know that they have the best audio quality and battery backup plus high performance. According to their last update in their Facebook page, they are developing cm12 for moto g. So, I'm waiting for their release.

Wait... the actuals roms of lollipop are buggy. Stay on 4.4.4 and be happy!

[Q] Seeking the safest, most stable Kitkat (with tutorial) for P5113

Can I get recommendations for the safest, most stable version of Kitkat for my tab 2 10.1 P5113 ... with instructions?

I think the slim rom must be the most safe and stable rom.

I agree, SlimKat is very stable and fast. I've been running it for quite some time. Tried SlimLP, but it still needs some work. As for instructions, each ROM thread usually tells you what you need to install it. If you're asking for instructions for rooting and recovery, well you need to start doing some reading.

I may be interested in trying SlimKat. Where is the latest stable version?

Android Andy has a super stable CM11 thats lite and has been my daily driver for almost 2yrs now.
Don't bother with CM12 it's buggy since it runs on lollipop, I don't think these old tabs can handle lollipop.
I tried lollipop and it didn't play good, bad battery, some apps acted up and I would get reboots .

I saw you found it, stay away from nightlies, you want "final" "official" or "snapshot" not nightlies.
Nightlies are experimental and cause stuff to stop working. They are for people that don't do anything else all day and night but play with there tablet.
You will pull your hair out with nightlies.
I warned you, stay away from nightlies. :banghead:

Best Rom for the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013 2012 edition

Looking for all you suggestions, on a good and stable Rom for this device.
Also which is the best way to root, the CR auto Root, or the Toolkit way ?? what recoveries do you all recommend, and what version SU are you all on, just want to make sure I have all my bases covered. Thanks

Make a back up of your original ROM. Any other ROM for this tablet are dead or left on BETA. The marshmallow beta sucks, the lollipop rom is abandoned .. The ROM i posted is the latest KITKAT from Samsung and it works awesomely. If you install the Kernel its going to be even more butter smooth. Make sure you install the ROM , boot into the device, then you can reboot to the recover and install the wifi and kernel zips or else youll get a FC on menus. Good luck .

I'll check it out, so far I have not installed anything, just waiting, there is no rush, maybe over the weekend, I'll give one of the Roms a go.
I did look at that Rom a week ago, and was not able to find the links for the Rom, and does not seem that the Dev is responding, if you have links to the Rom and Gapps, that would be great,
EDIT: was able to find a link from one of the members
