Noob question on ROMs - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I've been a lifelong iphone user and bought the Note 2. Rooted it and installed the Jedi ROM (before I knew what a ROM even was) and I love it.
My question is what is YOUR favorite ROM on the Note 2?? I'd love to hear your opinion because I'm so new to this world of Android I'd like to learn as much as possible...

Honestly,you cant go wrong. Try them out, each are different. You'll be amazed when you try each one and see which you really like.

Just... remember to follow the steps provided for you. Always keep a good backup. And when possible, check md5 sums.
I've seen this increasingly in the last few weeks, but ALWAYS double check to make sure you are flashing a ROM made for the correct device.
Toooo many bricks lately.. even a few vets.
Also, no offense, but the previous iphone people that I have had the pleasure to help -- they seem to think that things are going to be done for them somehow.
Its good to remember: You are responsible for what you download and flash.
I've seen you in the Jedi thread, and technically -- You are not a "noob", but rather a "newb" -- if you like signifiers.
just my $0.02.
Oh... haha, and I agree. Flash away and find what you like best!! Everyone is different. There will never be a "best" ROM to everyone

Awesome advice!! And definitely I back everything up because you right I'm responsible for my outcome. Agree 100%
And what's the difference between a Noob and a newb?? LOL just curious.

There is a glossary here on XDA, but my search is down.
Regardless, Google is my second wife lol :what:

I'm running Mind Trick right now, myself. What are the differences that you see from JMT to this ROM? rom looking at the description, it looks like it does not have some of the SGIII programs in it. I just came from a G2x and am blown away by wow fast this device is and how awesome the Dev's for it are (not that the G2x devs are not good).
Cheers!

Well I guess it's a personal preference.
The Sith is super fast and the battery is ridiculous. It has a red theme which is so cool, and you just have to flash to find out for yourself. I'm sorry I can't be more descriptive I'm still really new with the whole flashing ROM thing..I just wanted to tell him I liked it and thank him but I can't post in his area, lol...

For you guys that are new welcome to the family of flashaholics, It will become a daily activity to flash everything you see. I've lost 6 pounds since I first joined :silly:. Back on topic, the most precious thing is to try out new things. Try them all. That's the reason they are made. But of top of my head The Sith would be a better choice due to its base. (4.0.4) Now thats not to say that it wont have MINOR issues. Its as you all see, brand new. Think about it as car testing. You dont buy the first one you test drive. With that said enjoy you new toys (devices) you wont regret it.Last but not least, the one thing that needs to be reminded, 1)read 2)read 3)read!!!! Its very important. There's fail safe options but mistakes happen. Google is your best friend. <end rant... Once again welcome to the t989 family:good:
Thank you!

If you haven't already, read up on backups and your recovery app of choice. I've learned the hard way in just about everything I can try and remove to make any ROM slimmer then the dev produces just for personal preference and deleting the wrong piece can and will cause you to need to reflash hahaha. Happy flashing

No one here wants him to quit developing.. But we want him test his roms himself and only build them if he owns the device.. And I'm sure the Devs here would appreciate it if he wouldn't pull things out of their roms and use it without permission

+ a googleplex, this guy wants recognition without putting in work or recognizing anybody else's. He needs to stop pestering us and go get some psychological help.
So anyone know what happened to his "illusuon" ROM post? I was waiting for a mod but went to bed and when I woke up it was gone. I'm guessing he deleted it to avoid the ban hammer that was coming.
I was looking for it too. I think it should have been up so everybody can see it. It was a.nicr entertainmemt for a chance lol Lets just hope that he doesnt come back with another name.

There are about 12 benchmark threads and all lead to one thing, arguments and which lead to, does your phone feel 1/3rd faster than before?
I don't notice much except maybe while scrolling through my contacts and a little in browser. Do I need a benchmark to tell me that, absolutely not.

God hates boastful people who think they know everything. That is one issue I see around here is that many seem to assume that everyone knows....Next time you see a person ask a question that you think they should know give them a nice answer instead of flaming them with ****. :angel: You will feel better about yourself and may just be one up with the big guy! :good:

Please don't tell me its not possible i have a ics rom port in alpha already i've gotten to the boot animation and it locks up i have both the logcat and rom to prove it. Im looking for help within my forum to get it running.

Any help im a complete noob on how to develop im learning as i go along see if someone can kinda help me kinda understand the logcat im honestly surprised ive gotten to this point.
Have you look the sense4all projet? There is already a rom working for the internationnal GS3 (SO DON'T FLASH THIS ROM). Maybe you can try to port that one.
Also our phone have the same processor than the canadian HTC One X, maybe you can go in that direction.

I'm sure Thomas Edison got some good laughs when talking about the light bulb too. You don't know him or know what he's capable of; nor will you ever find out with this attitude. I envy his will to learn, and to take on a big challenge like this. I don't envy, I even despise attitudes like this that try to put people down who are attempting to do great things. To OP: even if you do fail at this, with the attitude you have, you will do great things.

In the same way guys... There's a learning curve. It could have been approached differently. But speaking from the position as he stated that he is completely new to this... If I was a sherpa and someone who had spent their life on a couch says they're interested in rock climbing, I'm not going to say, 'awesome, next week when your equipment arrives go to mount Everest and have fun!' There are ways to train and become better at things. Would suggestions have been better than simply stating that it'd not go well... Yes. And coming here to help where there are experienced devs is good hopefully their guidance will be enough to get him on the right track with this project and if not maybe he can start out smaller and build to this project.

I mean lets be realistic has sense ever been ported completly stable to a non htc device before? Dont go swimming in deep waters if you dont know how to, start off shallow then work your way up.
Being real about the situation might seem harsh but it is what it is......but if he does have some sort of coding skills than by all means do whatever

Root Methods

I recently purchased an s3 and I'm a bit confused about the different methods I've seen for rooting.
Is one method preferred to another?

Easiest way to root is to use Odin and install your custom recovery and then the team epic root zip. Just make sure you install all the drivers for your phone first

Thanks. Those one click programs usually scare me more than the step by step methods.
I'm not worried about which is easier, just if there is a preffered method. I believe I have found my answer after reading FAQ again and watching the videos linked from it.

I know I'm late to the party, but here's my two cents:
As far as I'm aware, all of the various guides (and toolkits) actually use the same method (although, the toolkit does have a tendency to bork the wifi). It's just really the packaging they come in. Whenever I recommend a guide to people, I always link this guide by Skunk Ape. It's intuitive and explains each step quite well, with pictures and clear instructions. I've never had someone come back to me asking for clarification after reading that guide.
Hope you enjoy your rooted phone!
Gotta say.....so far these s3 forums seem really friendly. Thanks for all the advice guys.....really digging this phone and forum so far
If this was the evo 4g forum and I started a thread like this some dude with 20 posts would have already flamed me and called me a noob......hahaha

Welcome to the Sprint forums! We're generally nice people. The only time you really see the ugly side is if you flash an international Rom to your phone (which bricks it, btw). That's when the sarcasm comes out.
Just stick to Roms made for our phones (d2spr, not i9300) and you'll be fine!
So after researching roms and reading/.watching reviews, it seems that blazer is closest to stock minus all the bloat/samsung stuff that is loaded by default. Is this correct, or would u guys recommend a different rom for a STOCK experience +tweaks/-bloat.
I swear if I bought an htc phone I wouldn't be quite as clueless.

Everyone on here would probably recommend a different rom. I'm currently running msg&chubbz rom. It's pretty stock, does have a lot of features from gs4. Does have "minit settings" which allow you to change battery icon/color, clock color/location, and some others, but besides these changes its pretty stock. I was clueless to s-offing my brothers evo lte, but I got it eventually. HTC phones are a little more confusing to most people.

I recommend trying the ones you like, all at least a weeks time then deciding for yourself. But since you asked TPR 'cough' 'cough'.....

Haha, I'm an AOSP guy myself, but yes, The People's Rom has quite a vibrant (and vocal!) community, most of which are kind and like to help others out.

For a truly stock ROM you can check out freezas thread. He has all the latest Sprint updates and so forth. You can't get any closer to stock than that. I also recommend TPR. They are really great over there.

Tpr and morphology is fantastic.
If want to see the ugly side the sgs3 forum, flash an international rom and ask why your phone is bricked.

What? No one brought up M.O.A.R? my fav. TW and I can customize all day long.
Seems you're already rooted, but I have to give a shout-out for topherk pushing skunk ape's rooting guide. The guide is so well-written and gave me just what I needed (custom recovery and root). For someone new to rooting, it was the best IMO...

So this isn't the Evo 4g forums?
