Then just now root with cf auto root Or Simply flash prerooted rom.

When you plan for custom rom, flash custom recovery that time.
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
just to respond you, it was great experience on Galaxy S3.

AOSP/AOKP Rom on Note 2 is waste of hardware that offers Note 2.

and I doubt people on this thread using those Roms.

Hope any Kernel dev comes up with dual boot.....

That's an interesting statement. Recently I moved to note 2 n out of habit, flashed pacman ROM. Can you elaborate why these ROMs are not ideal for this devise?the few hours I reflashed stock ROM, I could clearly see lag as compared to cm/aokp.

I am using Note 2 with Sammy based custom Rom and custom kernel, didn't found noticeable lag so far (Except widget drawer and contacts tab takes little time to open)

on AOSP/AOKP Rom you will loose SPen power, you may say that there is third party SPen apps are available to use on those Roms. but it cannot take place of or cant replace Note 2 S-pen app and its feature.

Multi window is another feature to utilize Note 2 big screen

better Camera and more options with Sammy based Roms. (don't blame for lack of sources, stock camera offers more option)

Allshare Cast, MHL, HDMI output etc

AOSP/AOKP Roms are great in terms of speed, fluidity and updated version all the time (currently 4.2.2 Vs Samsung latest is 4.1.2)

at the end it depends on user, what features you want with the device.

as I said in my previous post I have spent more time with AOSP/AOKP Rom on S3 but on Note 2 I like Sammy Rom more than AOSP..

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Great, I didn't even know that stock toggles are long press supported!, going to the original settings of the a toggle. Love it.

Why does it lag? What I've seen, if something is running on background, then it'll lag. For me, it lagged when I had more than 3 notifications on left side of status bar, and if I pulled down the notification bar from a homescreen where there are many icons. Like it has been said, if you unlock the device and pull it down instantly you'll see lag, because the CPU is still working. Yeah, I've monitored those small things, because I hated the lag so much. But now, as I've removed 2 icons from status bar, and I've moved to a custom ROM, the lag is very rare. 2-3 out of 10 times if not less.

It's an issue obviously, that's why most custom ROMs there have turned off the scrolling gesture, like Omega and all.

Whatever, I like the scrolling animation, I'd be sad to see it gone on 4.2 :(

'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
I'm kinda happy to know they would take it off soon.. Scrolling animation is really an annoyance if one wants to get the toggle done in a jiffy.. I've removed 5 toggles now and I'm only working with the remaining 5 which I consider are important for me :D
