Semester over tomorrow, rooting day after :D Need ROM suggestions. Since I'm rooting the Note II for the first time im looking for a stable TW ROM. Also I'd love to have many many mods & total customization control. Finally which Kernel should I go with the ROM?

Do we really should give a thought to upgrade to note3 when it releases???

Not me at least. ....unless & until samsung incorporates some freaking new design and new material in its next flagship phone. Note 2, I think ,is capable to handle the next android os & there is no point of dwelling for some so called octa core processor.

I think I've achieved the transparent status bar, but the icons on it looks kinda weird, it's normal right? Wish there was a way to change the colour of Wi-Fi, Volume icons, probably to black :(

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yes transparency is 100%

Your icon not seems bright like stock, also have red colored clock, you must have some mod for that which may causing it.
[Galaxy Note II General] shhbz:
well samsung already confirmed that note3 will be built as the same built as note2 and s3 with grainy back cover but only expect a better cpu,gpu and a bigger screen the only thing which might be the selling point for them would be much better platform mod maybe with limepie 5.0

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Thanks. No my icons are totally stock, other than the clock (just made it red in Tweakbox) I haven't touched them.

I think how are taking the screenshot matters, I took it with S Pen hold, maybe it'll look different if I use palm swipe.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yes screenshots shows somewhat different from practically it looks on screen. Basically stock icons are not pure white, you have to use mod to make lighter or darker. As per your choice (black), i have not seen any mod does it have. If time permits, will make it.
[Galaxy Note II General] puppet:
I got a feeling that at transparent status bar you often have to change the colour of your clock in contrast to your background wallpaper.

.......and if you dont , it will look like this.......merged colour...

Dont go for HTC One specially if you are moving from Note 2. You will feel bad once you will experience its pathetic battery life, with no option to change the battery.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Well to get something good or extra you will have to compromise on something. It's the battery life in this case, for a vastly superior build quality, aesthetics etc. If I were not so damn dependent on S Pen I'd switch anytime, eyes closed.

Seriously, are you still having issues with battery? Because I haven't got <6 hours screen on time with any stock based ROM - sync on, power saving disabled. Do you do a lot of gaming? Or browsing? Post the battery stats.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

As for HTC One - it's a nice device - depends on your requirements though. For me aesthetics is not biggie - but screen real estate and battery life are. Obviously S Pen, expandable storage and removable battery are big plus for me, personally. I've been an HTC owner for a long time - and couldn't be happier with Note II :)
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
about the battery life, one thing i have noticed is, as you keep using the phone, with not much change in the app list or your usage, the battery life keeps on reducing. until the first 4 days of flashing or factory reset, the phone is awesome.. and then the trouble starts.

Android Revolution HD is stable from what I gather (stock themed though). I would recommend Perseus or Redpill - both have color calibration options + sound enhancements (waiting for Devil kernel with dual boot though :) )

Project AOSP is AOSP themed with ported AOSP apps - if you're into that. Currently using X Note with floating multiwindows myself, but I do notice minor lags here and there.

As for mods: Xposed framework, Greenify (app, not a mod) - and you can find a lot more in apps section I believe.

[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
I had brought a couple of OEM batteries for my Note 2 around 4 months ago. They are from a company called Anker, and I had researched and read good reviews about the company. Even now in the accessories section there are threads with good reviews about the batteries. However, around a month ago, I started noticing that it was getting a bit hard to close my batttery door. The batteries had swollen up. I initially thought it was due to Delhi Summers, but apparently some others have had these problems with the battery too. The batteries are under warranty from manufacturer and Amazon, but I cant return them as I am in India.

My concern is, how dangerous are swollen batteries? Should I use them at all? Both batteries still give a great performance, as good as the original battery. But should I continue with the batteries, or discard them?

It's possible but too much time consuming, :mad:

But if you needs Just one battery module and color changes only upto 15%,then will consider, let me know which one you need.

Really till today I have used only one cwm, philz recovery and that also just to test before making it public, as developer (philz) doesn't own note2. So i can't give you my opinion in this.

Edit : I have updated a module Black Titanium, that already have same color while <15%

I am with Dr's latest Prerooted April Indian ROM.Now I want an expert opinion regarding which is the most suited Custom Recovery for our device which supports TW and SPen features - Philz,TWRP or 4Ext? .Also expert opinions are solicited regarding the most suitable Custom Kernel and Custom ROM(strictly 4.2 Android,ofcourse) which support TW and SPen.Waiting with thanks....
[Galaxy Note II General] ravijani:
im same as youre on stock... for some time

i dont think 4.2 will have those SPen and TW features right now only few spen features due to use of apps like GMD SPen control and S Pen Helper...

best ROM Chemelion OS(chaos) and P.A.C.Man ROM... take anything both are good but in chaos themeing is very good..

havent tried any kernel but roms works like a charm..
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Don't know what you mean by recovery with S Pen/TW support, but I will not advice TWRP. It didn't even show my old backup files when I tried to restore. So I will recommend CWM (by Chenglu), or maybe Philz, but can't confirm as I don't use it. If anyone uses Philz here, do confirm if it works well with restoring old Nandroid.

For kernel I will go with Perseus.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Just to add chenglu's recovery is old and not sds patched.

Still anyone want to use PM me.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:

[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
But on going through Philz' thread from first to last posts I understand that he does not own an Note yet.So I doubt how he can assess the actual performance of our Note by inducing his mods.Dr. Ketan also expressed something in this line of thought.Perhaps that might be the reason he is still with the stock recovery even though he is rooted.So there remains yet another most popular recovery 4Ext. Does any body know it's performance and compatibility with our Note?I am anxious to know.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

And what is your recommendation about 4.2 Custom ROM considering the TW & SPen compatibility?And also does Persseus also support TW &SPen?
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no TW for 4.2.2 and as for s pen. You need to settle down with play store apps
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Well dude, frankly speaking that even I don't like the idea of using something from someone who doesn't even own the device. But I think a recovery is not that a big thing in comparison to a ROM or Kernel. So if users say Philz works, then I will go with it. To be honest, a recovery's main goal should be restoring Nandroids, wiping everything (data, cache and all), so not some heavy tasks.

And just fyi, Perseus, the favourite most kernel for Note 2 is made by dev called AndreiLux, who too doesn't have a Note 2. Lol.

PS: Emze answered about the 4.2 ROM, and needless to say he is totally right. So if you are really hungry for a 4.2 ROM then be prepared to loose S Pen features, and overall system stability. It is simply not possible to have a fully featured 4.2 ROM, not yet. I never was interested in those AOSP or so called CM stuffs, and if I were you I would stick with my 4.1.2 ARHD and wait for the official release of 4.2 ROMs by Samsung, which should be appearing in next 3-4 weeks.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I didn't said that, I said I have tested philz recovery b'coz he doesn't own it. That doesn't mean i am not using his recovery just b'coz he doesn't have device. I am not using CWM just b'coz of my personal choice, as i am happy with stock ROM with few mods and i can do that without CWM too. As said by jujuburi, recovery have nothing to do with performance. My point of view for recovery it should be SDS patched and should never fail to function for which it made like flashing, Nandroid and tools included in recovery, you can consider UI too if you wish. And whenever i got chance to use, i have used only Philz and it never failed. I personally believe it doesn't matter if developer doesn't own device (for recovery only).
