Regarding Custom ROMS

Hi there
Firstly.. No, this is not a typical noobie thread asking for the best custom ROM out there, as I know it's related to personal preference. My problem is that I have a download limit, so I can not test out every ROM I'd like to.
A solution to this problem would be if you guys could recommend a few of the fastest ROMs for me, in your experiences (I'm not so interested in eye candy, more usability.. and most importantly I want it AS SMOOOOOTH AS POSSIBLE, I love smoooothness ) After a few ROMs are recommended I'll have a better picture of what to check out and what to download and I won't be wasting toomuch of my download limit.
Thanks in advance

Why do you have a download limit? What is your limit?

I live in South Africa where not everyone has unlimited internet.. My download limit is 5gb a month (but thats for my whole family...) , but I'm pretty close to blowing it :-/

C'mon, can't anyone help me out here?

I think you should start a new thread (search first) entitled "Fastest Custom ROM?" That will get a discussion started, and people who are interested in the subject will see the title and post their opinions.

I'll try that.. I wanted to avoid that though, 'cause I didn't want this to be those typical "What is the best custom ROM?" threads, and recieve the typical reply of "There is no best custom ROM"

Just sort the forum by the ROM w/ the most posts or views. If you go with those they will most likely be the most tested, have more user support/solution, and they have gone through a couple different versions.

Yes, but the specific question is which is the FASTEST ROM.

I tried a couple roms and decided I hated 6.5, so I cannot say for sure...but I can point you in a direction to check threads...
Energy, Cell, Josh, and DeepShining have all had very positive responses, and speed is something commonly mentioned among the pluses.
I hope this helps. Perhaps reading those particular threads can help you decide before wasting bandwidth.

In other words it is literally impossible to tell. The fastest ROM will be a today screen or titanium with no mods, it really boils down to what you want your phone to do though. I personally like eye candy and stability, you can see what I've chosen below for those. Don't get me wrong, it is still pretty fast, just not as fast as a bone stock ROM would be. I'd be willing to download, burn, and send a DVD full of ROMs, let me know.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've reached my download limit lol.. I'm posting this from my phone's internet.
WOW! That DVD would be TRULY awesome, and I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it. How can we go about doing this kind sir?

I have tested out LOADS of ROMs.
But I always go back to one in particular,
Touch X "SENSE 2.0B X-TREME"
Now unfortunately this ROM has been dis-continued.
But 2.0 is still available for download:

For speed its great. If I have no today plugin running when i soft reset, there's only 36% memory usage.
Manilla reaps the memory a bit, having around 50% memory usage after soft reset.
Which is why I use other today plugins like 'iphone today' and 'throttlelauncher'
Over all its the the best (in my personal opinion mind)
And its not littered with unnecessary apps

AT&T Galaxy Note II only Tri-Band 3G?! No FM Radio?!

So AT&T's website finally has the Note II listed, I noticed it only lists it having Tri-Band 3G (850/1900/2100 MHz) as well as the FM Radio not being listed as a feature. You guys think this is just AT&T software disabling the extra band and the radio or what? I'm kind of disappointed as I was hoping AT&T wouldn't be gimping the Note this time around...

It lists LTE right at the top of the specs.

All of ATT phones have always been tri-band 3G, what are you complaining about again?

I have the AT&T Note II. How do I check for the FM radio?

I believe there would be an FM Radio app in the app drawer.

Guys what I'm saying is that the AT&T Note II doesn't support Quad-Band 3G like the international does. I thought they were all supposed to be the same across carriers.

The N7105 does have LTE, but it doesnt support AT&T bands. The N7100 does not have LTE. Both versions are international.
So you were correct in thinking - don't feel stupid

There are 4 versions of Note:
1. International (+LTE): SGH-7100 / SGH -7105
2. SGH-i317 : ATT+(Rogers+Bell + Telus): HSPA 850/900/1900/2100, LTE: 700/850/1700/1900
3. SCH-i605 : CDMA + LTE 700
4. SGH-T889 : T-Mobile+Mobilicity+Wind : HSPA: 850/900/1700/1900/2100, LTE: 700, 1700
These are from FCC filings
EDIT: I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956264
T-Mobile's variant seems to be the better choice even if you are on AT&T based on the FCC filings anyway

According to GSM arenas review of the GN2 there isn't one!

Hopefully AT&T didn't hardware disable the FM radio or something...
Anyone know where the FM radio is usually integrated on phones now a days? didn't it used to be part of the Bluetooth chip on smartphones?

Some info in this thread is just plain contradiction. For example, the above two quoted posts contradict to each other. Is AT&T tri-band or quad-band UMTS after all?
It comes down to what to believe, because FCC filings contradicts to what people say and what cellphone website says. For example, phonearena lists the band specs of i-317 as this:
GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz / UMTS 850, 1900, 2100 MHz / LTE 700 MHz Class 17, 1700/2100 MHz
Here, i-317 is quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G (not what FCC filing says).
Also, the website lists T889 as this:
GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz / UMTS 850, 1700/2100, 2100 MHz / NO LTE
Here, T889 has 3G 850, AWS, 2100, which also is not what FCC filing says, besides there is no LTE support.
Some information here has got to be misinformation, but which one is it?

I agree on the contradiction for sure, what FCC tested vs what is being listed are different. The OP I had had the links to the FCC filings as well but I guess they we against the rules because mods removed the links.

Ye I wasn't giving doubt on the credibility of your source. It's just that i'm kind of confused by all kinds of information. Both phonearena and pdadb (checked just now) shows that T889 has no LTE support and even more interesting, pdadb lists i317 as quad-band UMTS, which phonearena lists as tri-band... I know it sounds like a nerd but it's driving me crazy as I'm doing research and decide on which version to get LOL
For now, I guess I'll only need to know if it's ever possible to flash N7100 rom onto i317 or T889, if not, i'm giving up LTE and stay with faster/earlier European OTA updates, like *DBT* :good:

[Q] N7105 (Note 2 LTE) Variants ?

Hi all
This question is not about specific N7105 variants.
I was looking at widgetcity.com.ph and they list the N7105 LTE as 4G - LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100 - N7105
webiste here: http://www.widgetcity.com.ph/product/mobile-phone/samsung/samsung-note-ii-lte-version-n7105
however...
Negri Electronics say 4G - LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
website here: http://negrielectronics.com/samsung...-16gb-unlocked-marble-white.html#.UJ9xFIYVJfw
Does it mean they vary depending on regions ?
I am in UK and I want to get one that will work in UK as well as USA..... any advise appreciated...

[Q] Difference between LTE and non-LTE, US and European version and LTE frequencies ?

Dear xda Members and / or galaxy note 2 Users,
I'm a bit confused about the various versions of the Note 2.
In a few days I'll visit Florida and intend to buy the LTE version from Walmart.
ht.tp://ww w.walmart. com/ip/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Smartphone-Titanium-Gray/22374238
(I don't know if shoplinks are allowed, but you can't buy it directly here and i hope you can accept it anyway this time)
However, I need to know whether the phone works in Europe/Germany and with which communication standards.
Is there a difference between the US and European GT-N7105?
on ht.tp://e n.wikipedia. org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II i found various versions called
AWS phone
CDMA/EV-DO phone
TD-SCDMA phone
Dual-cell HSPA phone.
and the LTE where they tell that it would be kind of an "International" phone.
"Most of the variants support GSM/GPRS/EDGE in the 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1.9 Ghz, and 2.1 Ghz bands; and UMTS/HSPA+21 in 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1.9 Ghz, and 2.1 Ghz"
Does the version i found on the walmart page support UMTS? there are only specifications that it can handle GSM and LTE, but not which LTE Bands.
(I think I need support for 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and/or 2600 MHz in Western Europe)
correct me if i'm wrong with any statement and enlighten the confusion for me if pssible
Thanks in advance !
PS: I'm not allowed to post outside links here, so I addet space characters before .com and .org and in the www and the "en" and dots between the ht.tp's. remove them before copying.

[Q] Convert F180K to F180S

Hello guys.. i have a problem.. I have a optimus G with soft F180K (its for KT network) and i have a LTE plan in SKtelecom (F180S) but my LTE connection its not working. Can somebody help me by answering to this questions?
If i flash the F180S will solve my problem? Its this even possible? If yes, can somebody point me to the right way ?
Thanks in advance.

completition
So guys to complete a little the status of my phone.. i have root access.. also CWM installed.. my question is if i install a custom rom i will get access to more bands for LTE or the device is limited somehow..
thanks..

confirm your in Korea ? right
i have flashed a basebands of k to l and l to K so i can confirm, its save but i didnt got the signals.
flashing kernel should be ok too because its the same device
so i say yes you can flash, but if both networks uses same lte frequencies it will work with proper apn, other wise no.

yes im on korean network. im not sure if both work on same lte frequencies . the apn its not a problem, i have .. but atm it shows connecting to 4G but no data in... so something its wrong.. i think its software related .. i can connect to 3G but no 4G..my phone have for LTE B3 (1800) and B8 (900).. by installing a custom rom will abtain more freq.. ? or ill have to do more than that,, and if yes what i need to do ? one link yould be nice noob friendly if possible
thanks..

1: it has to be apn if your 3g works
2: software doesn't enable somethings that's not there in hardware, so if both sets have same frequencies radio and both networks uses same it will work.
skip custom and flash stock roms and if you get zero network that try your model's baseband.
but remember it is possible basebands are blocked to work on others network.

Thanks.

Nope,you can't enable other frequencies. That's why there are so many variants of optimus G. There is no phone supporting all LTE from al regions.Unlike 2G/3G,which have a global standard,LTE is still young,evolving and developing.
