Is there anyone out there that has tried both? I've tried the CM13 and was relatively happy with it, but dunno why I've been getting "Process system isn't responding" error at each boot, and lately it's been really sluggish. I'm undecided to reflash it or try something new (I have an N8013).
It seems Gnabo maintains a lot of the "note-taking" stuff, which is awesome, but I hate that it's 4.4.2 and not Lollipop or Marshmallow. And honestly it looks like that's about it in terms of ROMs, since (understandably) there aren't any other updates or other comparable ROMs (or am I mistaken?).
Was just looking for some user feedback before I decide.
First decision is are both roms having a live link .
Both roms are no longer updated .
Do either rom have N8013 working .
Usual is Nandroid and test both .

I recently purchased a photon Q, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. All went well until I tried installing a new ROM. I've tried installing both Carbon and CM11 but with no luck. Thankfully, I've been keeping backups of my stock ROM so I'm still able to restore the phone and use it.
I'm currently using cwm 6.0.1.3 , and I had been trying to install the new ROMs via rom manager. I'll try to get more error details up Friday as that's when I'll attempt to install the new roms.
I tried installing the latest nightlies for both CM11 and Carbon.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.3 doesn't support SELinux and so it doesn't support any KitKat ROMs (CM11 and newer).
Use TWRP or OR as a recovery.
I wondered if that was the problem. How would I go about putting twerp on my phone? Do any threads cover that? Would it cause an issue with CWM or would I have to get rid of that in order to install TWRP?
Thanks, by the way.

The TWRP page for the Photon Q goes over how to flash TWRP.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/137
Any recovery you flash will simply overwrite the previous one. Simply flashing TWRP as normal will just replace CWM.
Same with OpenRecovery, simply flashing OR over CWM will replace CWM with OR.
Let us know if you have questions. I like the fastboot method, but there was an app in the Play Store TWRP Manager - which I have never used, but should work fine.
Awesome! I replaced cwm with twrp last night. I'm going to try installing Carbon either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
Well, it worked...sorta. i tried installing Carbon, but there seemed to be some kind of bug that didn't let the wifi turn on(along with some performance issues) and I have horrible reception at my place so that didn't get too far in setting up the phone.
So I installed the latest CM 11 snapshot and that's working great! Pretty awesome to be on the latest version of Android for a change!
Still want to try Carbon though, do they have more stable releases or do you just have to go out on faith with the nightlies?

I run Carbon as my daily driver, no problems.
Post in the thread if you have issues. As always, clean flash before reporting any.
I posted this in a couple other threads as well but since you guys are talking about it... do you think the Carbon is superior to the CM10/11/12 roms? I've found mine to be laggy lately. Maybe it always was I'm not sure.. lol but I was thinking of going to 10.2.1 .. someone on another thread said he did that and it was like having a different phone .. it was so fast.

Please quit cross-posting. You are severely diluting any community effort to respond to you by posting the same question in so many threads...
Truth be told, YOU need to make the decision for yourself. Take a backup of your current setup and try something new, you have nothing to lose but some time. If you don't like it, restore the backup you took (please please take a backup IN RECOVERY before making any changes).
LOL sorry lets not kid ourselves. There are 4 active threads since May 24 in this sub category of the Photon Q. My intention was not to spam-post, however given the slow movement of the forum I posted in a few relevant threads in the thinking that those who were active would have subscribed and were maybe notified Sorry if I did a few too many... for tonite I probably have had a few too many Coronas (Cervesa Mas Fina!).
This device is in a production environment. There is not much room for any downtime on the device so I do not have that luxury of playing with it. All these Photon Q's I would think have the same specs so there must be a general consensus or benchmark'ed result as to which ROM offers best performance with the usability balanced. I do need more of these devices moving forward.
Funny thing, I live within 50 miles of Blackberry's campus and they have failed us yet again. Their passport phone is a little more reliable and less buggy than last years Q or Z models, however I'm still lacking a row of numbers and a dang home and back key. When are they gonna figure it out! Just using the gesture/swipe to get to the homescreen doesn't appeal to me. You can't give me a home button? Anyway #offtopic a little.. but is there no general consensus or are they so close its difficult to pick a winner?

Have tried a number of ROM's carbon, PAC, Cmod, stock ICS, & JB.
Tried different flavours & unofficial versions.
I'm now happier than ever, running stripped JB - removed bloat ware & other obsolete APK's, plus added a few niceties using xposed framework.
Phone is fast - as in no slow downs & pauses, like I was getting with carbon & PAC, battery is unbelievably long life - using an xposed battery saver module, plus I added extended power menu options.
The main killer of all the other custom ROM's is the persistent Bluetooth error during calls. This is something that has been in the ROMs since Cmod wrote the first one, as all the other are built off of it.
If you don't require Bluetooth for calls, then go for it - personally I am finally happy with the JB stripped & tweaked stock.

Hi guys,
I need help!
I have a tab 2 7.0 P3110, on Android 4.2.2, and it is soooo laggy!
I have taken out all widgets, and uninstalled a lot of apps, but still it is very slow.
Will rooting it help? If so, can someone point me to the instructions to root it, and also which one would be best for me (mostly browsing, reading emails and using some of the widgets. No gaming or anything like that)?
Hoping to turn around my tablet and get a few more years out of it. At the moment, it is almost unusable with the laggy performance.
Thanks!!
Root the device is just getting the administrator permissions only.
However you can flash the new 3rd parties rom like CM11 (which you need the newest CWM recovory)
Or install some apps like greenfiy / auto memory manger from Google Play store.
These should be helpful to your tab to reduce the laggy.
You may also Google these to know more about rooting
Hope these help for you.
Thanks!
I am using greenify and memory management, but it is still not smooth. I feel it us samsung's bloat were which is mainly to blame. Which ROM would be best, as close as possible to the native android image, or perhaps better? Any links for installation would be very appreciated.
We can't tell you which ROM is best for you. Best way is try a few yourself as amny as you can and settle for one which you like the most. I would suggest you to check Samsung Tab 2 Android Development Forum. All Roms are listed there and installation instructions are included in first/second post of each ROM Thread.
I am using SlimKat Rom for last one and half years in my Tab 2. its stable version 8.0 now.

Cogbytes, have you ever tried CM rom (Whatever which version)?
I would like compare the performance between slimkat and CM.
Main difference in CM and SlimKat is features only. Performance is almost same unless you use different kernel (other than stock). I used CM for a few months too. SlimKat interface and tweaks are a bit more satisfactory than CM, but its my opinion only. Its worth to try to SlimKat stable version atleast once.
Hi everyone. So far i've been using Skyhigh 3.5 because this one was the most balanced one in terms of functionality, battery life, and others. It's been the only custom rom i ever tried on this rom.
But now it's laggiest than ever and i'm tired, and i don't rely on any valid warranty period. So, i'm ready to try it, as i heard that marshmallow roms are performing good and smooth. Really good news!!
Questions:
1- If i have the lastest TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the one i have), can i just install it over the skyhigh just like that? Of course, with mobile odin.
2- Will i see many difference in battery performance? I know that every full custom rom has worst battery life than, for example, a skyhigh.
3- If after a while, i prefer to go back to the skyhigh, can i just install it over the marshmallow? I ask this to avoid conflict with different bootloaders or different issues that i could find.
Thank you very much everyone!!!
Hey guys, I've been searching for ROMS that are for the SM-G925P (I have found some but they're not being maintained anymore). There is a specific one I'm looking for, which goes by the following guidelines:
Deodexed for Xposed (Systemless)
Debloated
Multi-User Support
Using Android 6.0.1
Works with a SM-G925P
That's pretty much what I'm looking for in a ROM.. the only one that's pretty close is Renegade HD, but like I said, its not being maintained anymore
I'd say your best bet is AlexisROM, so far its quite good for me, twisted kernel is also great for Android OS drains (If you do get them with this rom which I use to). I dont think most of the good 6.0.1 Roms are being maintained anymore as theyre getting ready for Android N, they're all quite stable though.
Does that rom run on the SM-G925P? I'm really curious since the last time I tried flashing firmware that wasn't compatible with my phone, it COMPLETELY bricked my phone. Even to the point I couldn't get it repaired. I got lucky the fact that it died and decided to start up again.

Which rom would you say is the best for oneplus 6 ?
This is really subjective. Only you can know which ROM suits you the best.
A lot of people really like OxygenOS (the native OnePlus OS).
It can be customised and tweaked a lot without replacing it with a custom ROM
... and if you don't know what you're doing trying to load a custom ROM will cause you a lot of headaches.
If you really want to try a custom ROM, try reading threads from ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development & https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/oneplus-6--6t-cross-device-development
(make sure you backup your stuff first and read a lot. You need to understand the whole process because it's likely you'll encounter a problem or two if this is your first time installing a custom ROM)
Personally I'm currently trying Paranoid Android Quartz 1.
I installed it a couple of days ago so it's too early for me to give a strong opinion, but so far I like it a lot.
I think quartz and treskmod have been most stable for me while still having great battery life and good features.
