[Q] Recommend a ROM with lots of extras (tweaks and bloatware) - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, i am finally back on XDA developers, it has been 3 years as i upgraded to an Iphone but have returned to try out android again in the hopes it is no longer a piece of crap os like it was a few years ago and so far i am linking!.
I just bought the Galaxy note 2 and want to root it.
More specifically when i had my HTC Touch Pro with windows mobile 6, i downloaded Roms with lots of apps pre loaded such as wifi tethering, games tweaks and feature re-enabling.
Now i have a Note 2, i want a ROM with the most tweaks and software installed on it, i do not care for the UI as i can learn however i liked the windowed UI of one of the roms on here which is more like a desktop computer.
So please could you recommend me a Rom with lots of extras and explain how i would root the phone as i have a very vague idea and would want confirmation.
As far as i know, you download the rom, save it to a SD card, then reboot the phone in recovery mode and this is where i get stuck as to what i would do next.
Also, if in the future i want to return to the stock rom, how would i go about doing this?
I live in the uk and have a unlocked GT-N7100 so none of this sprint, verizon , at&t ,T-mobile crap your guys suffer with in America.

Here is an idea rather than complain , i don't know, maybe you could actually help and not act like a moderator (which you aren't)...
I didnt post to get smart ass responses, i posted a question for help, to which i get silly replies like yours.
Word of advice for you, Don't ***** at someone who was asking for help.
I posted twice because no one was answering my question

The guy is a prat, he replies with smart arse replies to every question imaginable just to increase his post count

Yes both of them are talking to you.
Anyways, going back to topic. You should try out Android Revolution HD or Alliance ROM and then install Simplistic Framework which will enable you to further customize the UI such as the status bar, notification panel, etc. Then I would recommend installing Xposed Installer and xposed app setting app to change the dpi of any app or in general.
Honestly, I would personally go about by installing the lightest rom and then adding other features that I can keep track of and that I would need.

Most of the ROM sites tell you exactly what to do to install the ROm plus whatever else is needed...the sequence and steps are all there...just read! For myslelf I have used Omega (steady, stable 4.1) and now PAC (4.2) which is really nice except you loose all the samsung extras...but for me not a big loss.
Good luck

i bet the battery life on PAC is no where as good as the stock based roms. It seems the touchwiz apps arent the only thing you would be losing.

Good call. Besides removing bloat ware there is really no reason for this phone. None of the custom roms offer much of anything over stock.

Wrong. What about free wifi tethering? I think you can root but do not need to run a custom rom, just run the stock rom.
looks good, getting it to just boot is nice. hopefully someone else can take it the rest of the way so we can get this on our phones asap.

How do I do that? I have a rooted, stock ROM, with bloatware removed and is CIQ free, but I do not know if it has free Wi-Fi tethering.
Here is the link to the ROM: Click
Simple, install titanium manager ( id recommend pro) and either freeze (pro only) or delete tether manager or whatever the programs called that's makes you sign up for hotspot

Can we root or install roms on the GS3?

My Galaxy nexus just died. I dropped it and cannot read the sdcard inside it. I tried CWM recovery, and it gives me io errors when trying to flash it..
I have 3 options:
Repair, get the S3 or wait for the next nexus if it comes out on october 29th.
What would you guys suggest I do? I really love the Nexus brand because i get all the updates directly from Google.. I also love Android 4.1.2 and I know the S3 does not have it..

Not Trolling at all, I know 4.1.2 is suppoded to be released anytime soon on the S3. Just not sure in Canada. My friends who owns S3s are still on 4.0.4.

you need to slow down and not post until you realize where you are. the is XDA. a place where things in the mainstream are not. that being said. we have Android 4.1.2. unlike the rest in the mainstream that don't. so just take my advice and search around the forums before creating threads of your own.
The answer is Yes, I am currently on the Cyanogen 10 Nightlies ... Everything works great aside from some random screen artifacts in youtube and the overall very functional and worth the dabble.
Can anyone help me please im using 4.0.4 rooted but want to update to offical 4.1.1 jellybean?

Well, technically it's not out for AT&T or Verizon or TMO.
But it is officially out for Sprint now I think. Released a day or two ago from what I read.
But most or all of the GSIII's have 4.1.2 available via custom ROM installs.
Really? Your title can't be serious. 1. Your on XDA. 2. You made mention of CWM, so you know rooting. 3. One tab back leads you to all GS3 development - I'm assuming you found your nexus rooting info on here so you're well aware of how the site is organized.
Is it April 1st again? There's another thread asking about rooting tutorial.

[Q] Release Question:

Hi.
I have a GS3 - ATT. I have the SynergyROM installed on it.
I read everyday on forums, that people that are coming from iPhones are experiencing lag, and problems with speed on their devices. I had the same with my GS3, but then I started working on settings of my phone.
In the moment, my phone is very fast. It's super stable, and has good battery life. So my question is. Is it possible for me to release the rom that I'm running, and if I do how would I do it? I don't mean on how to get the rom out to the public, I mean rights. I don't want to take credit for the rom, just for the modifications.
What exactly is the purpose of this thread????
Are you trying to advertise a ROM?
To who are you trying to advertise the ROM to?
If its not your own work please ask the correct person for permission to use his work with your mods.
If its just certain setting, than share your settings in that ROMs thread.
This is XDA home if many ROMs, people have plenty of ROMs to chose from.
And what works on your phone may not work for others.

Contact the person who cooked that ROM and ask for permission first.
What mods are we talking about??
If its stuff you developed?
And if its just certain settings that are changed I don't think there is need for an extra ROM with just "tweaked settings"

The modification is made by me completely. The battery life is 10 hours with heavy use. I've installed around 30-apps, and there is no slow down so far.
App: Saver v1.1
I'm almost done with the app. I will release it on the forums. I've attached some photos, and a battery pic.

[APP][WINDOWS] Android Rom Migrator

I have created a windows app that will port roms somewhat automatically.
Please keep bases the same.
ie- CM10.2 base and CM10.2 port
There is still some user input required so it is advised that you know your way around the android OS.
This program REQUIRES that you have the Java JDK and JRE installed.
Having adb installed is not a requirement, but some options in this program utilize it.
This is my first development project so bare with me.
If you have any requests to be added, Shoot me a PM or comment about it.

It's cool that you made this but I have to admit, I am a bit confused...
Your title calls it a Rom Migrator, which I took to mean that it can help someone jump between roms by making it easy to restore apps, settings, etc.
But your op says it will port roms, which says to me that you can take a Sprint or AT&T Rom, and using this, port it to our T999 fairly easily.
Either way, I can see it as being useful to different groups of people, but perhaps it's not getting much response due to similar confusion.
You may also consider a quick step by step guide in one of your reserved posts. Nothing fancy, but a quick how-to can go a good ways toward making folks more comfortable with trying something new.
Hope that helps, and thanks for sharing your work!

If this app ports as it says it does then I guess there would be no problem porting from other S3 variants.... I assume this tool, will auto swap out drivers and set partition parameters that are compatible with T-Mobile S3.... If it can't do that then the next best thing would be that it uses a compatible base and add the rest of features similar to how Aroma works..... If none of the above, this probably doesn't do what it says and might brick your phone.....
I've used this a couple times it works, somewhat i.hade manually switch out a fre things in the actual final port ROM but other wise it's good

I've got comfirmation from multiple users on that thread and nobody is reacting. Mods were notified more than 10 days ago, no response.

Bump. I have the same Trojan.

i have tried using an antivirus to remove them but they still remain
I also tried to reinstall the rom, just to check I didnt do anything wrong on my side.
The ROM definitley contains a trojan.

Just one simple question. Does this problem also exists in 4.7 or is it just 4.6?
UPDATE
I`ve just read the thread with 4.7 and the problem does still exists.
confirm
its still in 4.7 , managed to delete apks (same 3 as in screenshot above) but couldn't add new so i changed ROM. interesting that avast doesnt pick up on it....

THX i wasn't using this Rom anyway. I was just a little bit confused 'cause i never thought a dev would do that.

this is the worst news i ever heard, i just installed this rom yesterday and i really loved it .. it is very smooth and the best rom i ever used from 10 roms until now, i can't believe that in day that i found something good like this rom, the rom having virus!! what a chance! can any one report this to the dev ?!?
I've reported thread and got comfirmation of XDA mods that they are investigating, but that was a month ago. I don't understand what is going on.

Ok, so no response from the mods whatsoever. This can mean two things, either mod ia extremely lazy person who doesn't give a **** or mod is somehow benefiting from this rom. Either way, we urgently need to ecalate this to higher mods. It is not normal to have trojan in ROM. Does anyone know mods from whole XDA, not just xperia onea?

Just stay away from stock-based ROMs that don't add anything of value and include apps that you could install yourself. I think the creator of that ROM isn't even aware of the Trojan but is just throwing some files in his ROM that are actually bloat. Just use stock, maybe a deodexed version, and with root access you can include any mod you want. Or use a more trustworthy stock-based ROM, like eXistenZ.
I don't want to personally attack this guy, but come on take a look at the OP of that ROM. The PayPal link is huge, so he's already fishing for donations. There are a lot of exaggerations in the first lines already (the word "very" is used 6 times in one line). And whenever someone calls his product "simply the best than ever" you should know that it isn't. Those are just big words.
So yeah you could report the thread.. Or you could use your common sense and avoid it.

I think what the op has done (report it/warn other users) is spot on.
I mean how are people, especially newcomers, to know what to avoid if other members of the community aren't looking out for each other?
Flashing ROMs, apps, mods etc on rooted/Xposed framework vulnerable devices is dodgy enough, but if xda members spot exploits and just ignore/avoid them? Wtf?

I meant no offense to the OP of this thread, I was just avoiding to use name of the author of the LeopardX ROM. He's right to report this and I'm just saying that people should stay away from ROMs like this.

First I thought this was a false alarm but upon reading all the posts, I guess I'll flash a new ROM for the time being.
