Hi all. I have had my Note Pro 12.2 (wifi version) for about a week now and am planning on rooting/wipe/flash etc this weekend. I'm not sure which ROM would be the best for me, as I don't see much about audio performance mentioned in the custom ROM threads.
I want a ROM that will allow me to do a lot of customization and changing around of settings, but pretty much like stock when I first load it in terms of appearance. I want to be able to get rid of unwanted bloatware (or have it already removed) but i still want to use the pen window and 4-app multi window (but with ability to add any program to the list). Want to add sound on/off setting to the camera (not just replace the sound file with a silent dummy file but actually add the switch to the menu).
I use both the s-pen and a bluetooth mouse frequently and looks like cynogen 12 might not be a good choice because of this, but everyone is raving about the speed and lack of lags. Would be great to get a bit of a performance increase with a new ROM.
But my main concern is audio latency. I'm using Caustic, ntrack, audio evolution etc. Supposedly latency is supposed to be improved again in 5.1 kernel? Not sure if the samsung pro audio sdk is included in any of these ROMs (didn't see anything about that). I'm hoping to try out soundcamp but haven't yet searched for a version of it ported to the note pro.
So are there any good ROMs available which keep the stock functions of the s-pen, bluetooth mouse, multi window, etc, but on a newer kernel with better audio performance? I also use a few of the samsung bundled apps, the hancome office, remote pc, etc. but I want to be able to remove all the bloatware stuff like businessweek, and a lot of the google stuff like music, games, etc.
Any tips on which ROM might be the best for me?

just came across this one.
looks like the minix with custom rom for games.
was wondering if XBMC is indeed playing ok on an android based machine ?

http://www.xtreamer.net/MultiConsole/index.html
Anyone got this?
anyone?
to buy or not to buy?
i got this.
its working ok. i guess if you do not mess around with things (like i do) its working fine. i am looking for an alternative rom for some time, but did not have the guts to try something out.
xbmc is working fine there is a preinstalled version but i installed the one from the homepage, because it is the latetes version. sometimes its not working like i would like it to work, but i am not shure if it is my network router or nas or the xtreamer.
I bought it but disappointed and it has lots of problems which needs fix. I understand most of these devices would have problems out of box. But Xtreamer hasn't released any update since the product release in Feb.
The launcher is a bit interesting to look at but it has issues which messes up all apps running on it including XBMC. I'm not really fan of the air mouse and prefer IR remote.
I've bought it too.
I'm quite satisfied when I using it as media player, but I exeprience many lag especially during browser activity.
I wonder if it will be flash xtreamer multi console with nexus player firmware... I believe in google and I hope that it has create a good usability device..
kind regards,
luigi
No Xtreamer Multi-Console
I have this device (Xtreamer Multi-Console) and I just want to say - don't bay it!
Because:
1. Xtreamer Multi Console is very slow device
2. The original GUI is very ugly and uncomfortable [I've tried others launchers, but the console is still very slow]
3. The remote control is also very unusable (I had to buy additional keyboard for control [Logitech K400 2in1]
4. Too expensive
5. Xtreamer Multi-Console has a lot of bugs
New firmware
Hi all, with new firmware Xtreamer_MC_2.5_12.05.14 is best of
1) very fast
2) GUI is with new function, but I use Nova launcher or XBMC launcher.
3) Remote control have new function without cursor - best for XBMC
4) Multi Console is very very stable
Wauuuuuu

I don't sure about it.
In addition, to make it easy for use you must spend a lot of your time.
So I advice to try Asus Nexus Player
This device still has issues even with the latest firmware Ver 4.10.18 which was released nearly after a year.
Slow, status bar cutting the subtitles in XBMC and it's unstable device for sure and not worth the high price.
Has anyone tried other ROM(s) on this device and know they work?
Thanks
I also bought this ... thing ... on June 2014...
DO NOT BUY IT !!!!
It's the Slowest, nerve braking, time consuming piece of ... well you know what i mean
I can't imagine why a company sells equipment that in their imagination works in the best posible way, while the truth is that it doesn't.
- You click on Gmail, and you just HAVE to wait. And i has nothing to do with Wi-Fi signal or internet speed.
- You try to open the new Kodi (ex XBMC) and you wait.... and wait... and ok ... wait some more... and ... nope..
it throuhs you back to the main android screen. And so you click it again... and it works... (party time after 10 minutes)
:good::fingers-crossed:
- It takes about 3 minutes until the booting of the device finishes. And its Android right? :crying:
My Samsung Galaxy SII is way much faster than the Xtreamer. The booting finishes in less than a minute.
- My Xtreamer is using the Latest version... And i don't know what they fixed, but guys come on... It's slow..
- Also it has a banch of crapware installed, that I took the liberty to remove.
- And the Launcher just takes... the rest of the cake... It's simply the worst launcher i've seen... and i've seen many.
So i also changed that as well.
- So now my Xtreamer finishes launching in around 2 minutes and 35 seconds to 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
This is also crazy because the time difference is way to big.
- And the Wi-Fi streagth is not good. My Wi-Fi Modem is just 3 meters away, with no obsticles in the way,
and it gets 2-3 bars of signal.
I guess i have to find a way to install another Rom in this that might work better.
Anyone knows if there is any other rom i could install.
Thanks for reading.
Have a nice day people.
Hi,
It might be a stupid question, but I was wondering if it is possible to build a ROM with a very minimum features. No phone possibilities, no bluetooth, no gps, no sync with anything.... Turn it to a Ipod Touch like in someways...
I could use any ROM without using all these feature, but by removing all the unnecessary, could it be lighter and faster ?
I am asking that, because I have a aging I9000 and I would like to turn it up to a remote control only. I am currently using it for Spotify, my AV Receiver, XBMC, my NAS. So, actually, I just need WIFI, and maybe access to Google Play to install the apps needed, but it could be done by installing the APK directly.
That's it !
Thanks
After using lollipop for a while, I feel cut off. I used CM7 some years ago and it served me well on my old Ideos X5. So im thinking about giving CM11 a try, hoping to regain some features I do miss right now. Here's specifically what I miss and try to regain:
xposed Greenify module. Dramatically increased my battery life.
xposed xPrivacy module. I preffer to actively choose if and which data may be available to an app.
Buildin Audio Recording (Lollipop seems to have dropped this)
Buildin Photo widget (Lollipop seems to have dropped this). There are some available, but it feels bad to need to buy one if my system os used to have this feature.
GameCIH(Needs Dalvik). Cheating/Debugging tool for apps, mostly games.
What I definately do not want to miss(Does CM11 support these features?):
Immersive mode - For not accidently hitting that "Home-Button" when playing games.
Google Now. Very handy thing.
Updating capabillity or at least notifications on important updates being available. I do not want to have to visit a specific community regulary just in order to see if my phone has a major security/stabillity issue
Also, how's the stabillity of the hammerhead snapshots? Any hardware issues or mentionable glitches? I used CM7 years ago and was not very pleased, but that may not be representative. Are there downsides when it comes to everyday usage?
almost ALL cm based rom have immersive mode. And also, it has ALL of the features that you've mentioned above.
It worth it !
Stop comparing stuff to cm7 (which BTW, had more bloat than any other ROM). That was GB-based.
Instead of asking if feature X or Y is available today, just try it for yourself.
Hi, to all. Greetings from Argentina.
I want to change the Rom of my tablet and get out from Samsung's Jelly Bean, and I am thinking about going the custom rom way.
I own a N8010 from early 2013, and lately I don’t use it a lot, but suddenly the rest of my family (wife and children) want to start using it, and honestly I do too.
The main use would be:
Surfing the web (Firefox)
Play games
Read e-books
Listening music (local and streaming)
Watching Movies/Youtube videos (not a lot)
Take pictures and record videos (ocasionally).
All the online activities are done via WIFI (because it is an N8010, only wifi model).
I don't mind losing the following functionalities
S-Pen, and all the apps related to it
S-Apps
Samsung multiwindow
I almost don’t use Bluetooth at all, neither advanced networking, just wifi access.
I need (if exists) a rom that provides this key functions:
Multiuser
Posibility to move apps to sd card (without root or link2sd, etc.)
A friend of mine have an LG G Pad 7 with LG stock Kitkat and it does have those 2 options.
So, I want to ask you, which would be the best rom that can fulfill these requirments:
Stock Samsung Kitkat - I guess not
A custom Rom based on Kitkat?
A custom Rom based on Lollipop?
CyanogenMod 11? (I know it's Kitkat too)
CyanogenMod 12 ?(I know it's Lollipop too)
Thanks in advance, and excuse my poor english.

To answer your questions:
There are no BEST ROM here.
Every ROM/Custom ROM has its own advantages.
Just try one & if it's good for you then stick with it.
If not, then try another.
"Every" Android version has multiuser ability as Android=Linux fork (At least Jelly bean is proven has multiuser, but without UI).
The only problem is the UI(User Interface) as not all Android version/ROM provide it.
I've tried multiuser in my GT-N8000 but then decided to remove it back to single user.
It consume my internal memory space too much.
Moving "apps" into microSD is a built in feature in Android, but not all app support this.
I also seen some ROM disabled it, so....again....try it yourself.
This built in "move to SD" feature has it own disadvantages though as some files are needed to be installed into internal memory it can cause the app size after moving it to SD will become slightly or significantly bigger around 10% - 40%.
And widget apps will be broken if you move it to SD.
By using ROOT,you can move it to SD without additional 10% - 40% size.
The method is called Mount Binding Folder.
Conclusion:
Read carefully before flashing any ROM
Avoid turning your device into an expensive paperweight
Try it & if it suits you, use it as your daily driver
If not, try another
If you have any questions, ASK
....Again....avoid turning your device into an expensive paperweight
I have searched for this and I realize there are ROM managers but I'm definitely new to them. I'm expecting this to KIND of be a repeat question or something not specific to the Pro 12.2 but here goes.
I want to install CM 12 to use with my music apps for the low latency Samsung Pro Audio stuff (hoping CM includes that, I know it's a lollipop thing and it's on my Note4 which has stock L)
I want to run either hyperdrive or stock-rooted ROM for content consumption and everything else (since there's no 4-app multi window for CM 12) I'm often watching netflix while reading emails and copying/pasting between Chrome and Browser, so I really do use the 4 window thing all the time) Plus s-pen, s-note, etc.
But audio latency has been unusable for real-time MIDI keyboards and guitar amp modelling software with any ROMs I've tried so far (hoping CM will work, my Note 4's stock Lollipop works pretty good with audio stuff)
So I wanna know what is the easiest way to switch between ROMs. Ideally I don't want to manually create a full backup in Titanium right before flashing, I'm actually hoping there is something akin to "users" on Windows, where I can boot into one Rom and everything I have done, any files, any settings, all come back from the last time I shut it down, so I never have to actually back it up. So more like a dual boot. I want files and settings to be saved like they normally would. I'm guessing this would require a lot of room and I'd need to enable boot-from-sd-card if such a thing exists. I have a 128gb micro SD so I should have enough room.
I have the 64gb wifi version Note Pro (or I would have flashed the official lollipop already)
Not going to happen on the Note 12.2. What you need is TWRP with the MultiRom patch and a multirom patched kernel. It was tried for the 12.2 and abandoned. The problem is that is device has a very small user base so it does not get much development.
the problem that cost to much......

The poor man's version of this, via TWRP, is to do restore/backups of one or more roms. It really does not take long to restore or to back up an entire setup, and doing it to an external microsd is the way to make it extra safe (in case you wipe your user data in error while installing a rom the first time). I don't even have my just-purchased Note Pro in hand yet, but have extensively rommed away on both my trusty Galaxy Note II phone and Asus TF700 tablet. In the phone's case, it is a tmobile phone stuck in jelly bean (ack!). So I have the jelly bean rom in case I want to play with the s-pen and a nice Oct-O lollipop rom I can switch to. Five minutes or so and I'm good. No idea what such an approach would work like on the Note Pro, but suspect it would be faster than the phone. If you knew all this, I apologize.
Blessings.
