[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plod72:
I use the same kernel just version 7.45. Have you tried to power the phone down and take battery out for a minute then start up and go into CWM and try factory reset? How are you trying to format data now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcckcjo:
tried power down and format data by CWM still hang ...

seem flash PDA rom via ODIN it also format data in background ,

after flash reboot > hang in blue bar under android logo > wait over night > take out battery power down > power on see command formatting /data (hang)

have any idea pass wipe data to flash the rom??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plod72:
I would try i different kernel just to be sure but it does sound like a hardware problem to me. I would try PhilZ kernel since it is close to stock
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcckcjo:
i already fixed for temp use, use Dorimanx kernel dual boot function to create/install 2nd partition + install jellybam to 2nd partition ,

working now!! just need to press home key to choose 2nd partition and boot ^^"

my problem seem samsung emmc original bug ,

if run this command 19 or less 19 = u may get this bug when wipe.

adb shell "cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/cid|cut -b 19,20"
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankzter:
Hey all i have 2 OTG cables for my Tab 2 but neither of them work at all the tab dosent even pick up on the fact it has been inserted, what are the odds both cables are faulty? 2 diff ebay sellers lol my tab is on XSA Stock 4.0.4 do i need a newer firmware?

Cheers Guys
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
I wouldn't think it's the firmware. Is this happening when the cables are plugged into a PC or the charger or both? If it's only from the charger, then it could be the charger itself. Hopefully it's not a problem with the female plug on the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankzter:
The charger and pc side of it both work fine just not the otg part lol they say turn the tab off and on with the cable inserted but still does nothing and i dont have to do that for the otg cable on my s3...im beginning to think both cables ar dead...i might try splicing them togetherlol 2 cables from 1
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
LOL, I completely missed the "OTG" part. I've bought a ton of stuff off eBay but I'm always a little leery of what I buy, especially anything electronic. You can get them for $1 + $2.98 shipping on Amazon. I feel a little better buying off Amazon for some reason. In fact, after looking at them, I'm going to go ahead and order one.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalMD:
What USB device are you trying to connect?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankzter:
Its keyboard case which also works when connected to my s3 lol ive tried everything from usb drives to mice
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankzter:
haha all good i just went and bought a official otg cable and it works straight away...go figure u get what u pay for lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
which is the best ROM for you and why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickTheMajin:
I like Touchwiz but hate the look so Beans is my goto. Themed but with all the functionality of Touchwiz that AOSP lacks. Smooth as hell and the battery life is amazing on the Perseus kernel (7 hours of screen on time on average.).

Runs well as a daily driver. Honestly, I can't see myself ever using AOSP on this Note 2. The one reason I used it in the past was because of how much smoother it was than whatever manufacturer skin my phone came with but that isn't the case now. Touchwiz is extremely well optimized, has great battery life and is smooth as butter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
btw mine is Beans 7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DROID76:
Im torn between Scotts ACE or Beans7. Both are very solid but I do like the slight theming of Beans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
when I first flashed beans and had the AOSP lock screen and idk what happened but it didn't let me unlock my phone. So I had to reinstall the rom to fix that but instead of that I installed the Clean Rom ace I had it for a couple of days and I didn't like it. maybe because I don't like the stock-looking that clean rom has.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
Same here, but I like Beans 7 better even thought I had a problem with the lock screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
beans touchwiz is my daily
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abc3754:
I like Cleanrom they are" clean" simple, smooth and easy to use!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
you mean jelly beans 7 with Touchwiz right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
I don't like clean rom because I look so stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Ditto! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dugall12:
CleanRom ACE for me

I've tried Beans 7 and while its a great rom its still based on Verizon official 4.1.1 ota software whereas CleanRom is based on the latest international build 4.1.2. which I feel are more cutting edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] anoninja118:
As much as I liked some of the cool features on touchjizz and the S-Pen I had to unlock and put Sbrissens CM10.1 on here... I needed real life functionality and customization as well as a stripped down (read: not bloated) ROM, this does it perfectly at the expense of some cool but unnecessary features IMO

tappity tap tapped from my Cyanogened Galaxy Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
So if you install CM10.1 you lose the S-pen functionality?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
Right, I didn't like Cleanrom because I like a more themed ROM. That's why I'm using beans 7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwiftLegend:
It still works as a stylus on CM 10.1, but you won't have any of the button gestures or Samsung apps like SNote.

CleanROM was my choice until Paranoid Android was ported over. PA has been my favorite rom, even on my Galaxy Nexus. I just hope when 3.0 comes around, the Note 2 will officially be supported and they will allow for my UI customization, kinda like AOKP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
beans

latest beans rom with apex launcher ftw...I was a heavy aokp fan but, no more!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yes beans touchwiz rom...its not with touchwiz, its touchwiz based off of stock vraljb. i like the theme he has integrated into the rom. clean rom is just debloated stock with a few tweaks, nothing special imo. fyi im still on build 2...i dont even mess with flashing anything on this device as it usually is a downgrade. the n2 is rock solid out of the box and and beans adds just the right amount of enhancements.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
can you post the link please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
I haven't checked the apex launcher but ill try it tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
I use the SPen and it features a lot lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joshina:
I'm still pretty new to this but so far I've enjoyed Beans build 7 the most. The extras it adds w/ the theme is just what I want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I agree with absolutely everything you said only I would really really really love to see a screenshot of you hitting 7+ hours of screen on time using the Verizon Galaxy Note 2, Beans build 7, Perseus kernel with overclock enabled, and 4G LTE service.

I am consistently only making it to 3 hours screen on time and I have everything listed above. Curious what I'm doing wrong here...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You have a wake lock. I'm at 3 hours with 44 percent left and I've been in horrible service all day

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronaldheld:
CleanROM right now, but beans 7 is also good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
CleanROM ACE hands down. You should add a poll. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
Whatever ROM is the best for what you want/like. Everyone has their fav's.

You have to try them out and see which one you like best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
There are so many of these threads that it's really annoying. Oh well, CleanROM ACE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
you should really take a look at the battery life thread.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

agreed...its all subjective, what one likes another may not. thats why its nice to have options. i love touchwiz, just hate the look of it, so i roll with beans minus the gas lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Beans 7.1 build and LMT 1.86 to make my s-pen experience complete :)

If you havent already check out LMT for the pie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
This is how I feel as well. Both are awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
Same here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
I installed the perseus kernel and my battery didn't last much :( now im'm using the other Kernel and i lasts more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
Link for LMT? I want to try it! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
Well if it annoys you can always ignore it (:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseandre_:
I just added the poll.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abc3754:
I think that's why I like it. Ive been using cleanrom vzw lite with a custom kernel and I get outstanding battery life...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] th0r615:
With CM 10.1 getting better with every build (nightly's now) its become my daily driver. Touchwiz is an eyesore for me, beans was a good stopgap, but now that a 90% functioning AOSP build is working theres nothing better for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
once its fully functional i might go back, but 90% dont cut it for me...i need everything to work. no disrespect to any of the aosp devs, i know this stuff is not easy. ill patiently wait until everything gets ironed out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alarmo:
Beans its the only reason I kept my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Cm 10.1 is my daily now. Battery has gotten fantastic. Feels like a giant s3 now haha love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bkdodger:
First full day with Pac man Rom... Loving it! Tweaked & Pac will be flipped often...

⚡Take Note2 BK's here.. ⚡
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] s10sdeville:
Whaaattt dude the only reason...not for like the huge screen and huge battery or the 2gb of ram and quad core processor...and not even for the trusty spen (which ive pulled out like 14 times) this phines sick the way it is...but its better with cm10.1 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nhizzat:
Beans with Elegant theme. No reason to try any other rom after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alkakms75:
Jelly "Beans" ROM by Beanstown106 all the way. My phone especially loves it w/SaberKernel Build16 lately. Great battery life and very smooth:D

Although I'm getting more and more interested to give Mean Beans a spin lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] clanwce:
I'm using Jedi XY, and its great, definitely one of the best
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commiecat:
Beans is the only ROM I've used so far and I think it's great. None of the Verizon junk with a good amount of customization. I wanted something based on TW so I could keep some of the Samsung functionality (e.g. S-pen, multi-app, etc.).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterchiefb117:
I feel you on this. Its been about 2 weeks for me and I loved it ever since. Best of 3 worlds in my opinion....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] secularist:
Test drove a bunch...TW and AOSP. Carbon has been my DD for weeks now. Simply my version of perfect.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
RootBox is the best AOSP rom I've ever used and the most interesting one I've had on my phone. Every release improves it, and like many of the AOSP roms it attempts to bring the best from several teams. Their features seem best suited to our particular phone and not a brand ported to it. It's a must try.

Beans remains the gold standard with TWiz. Better styling than stock, better features than the competition. I think his philosophy and my experience have shown the "cutting edge" international base takes more than it gives at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jas1784:
Have to agree. Started with Jedi then moved to Beans. I ran AOKP for half a day and went back to Beans until I discovered RootBox. Very customizable and been running extremely smooth. Gets better with every update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnex0422:
Meanbean is amazing. Ran cleanrom for a while and switched to mean and I love it. Got this phone for the spen features so I like touckwiz alot. Get a chanve check out meanbean if you like stock you will love it. Battery is great also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Currently MeanBean FTW :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] deputydog95:
Is Beans 7 the same thing as Jelly Beans by Beans Town?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
I believe so, the OP was back in Jan. so it was probably build 7 back then. I went on a flash trip this past weekend and did nearly every available and settled on JellyBeans basically becasue I want HDMI/MHL support and like the AOSP look
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] deputydog95:
He's up to 12 now. Not sure you can download 12 manually, but it did come across as a OTA update tonight. Super smooth. Everything carried right over, even widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
I tried OTA and it kept failing..with his change log listed I think I am gonna do a clean install. I already ran LMT and Xposed so I want to start fresh with 12 and these being in "stock"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
You can download it manually. The links should be working in his post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
I did as soon as it went up, thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hugeyeti:
As a versatile n00b on this phone, I can tell you that Beans has been the defacto ROM for me ever since I installed it at version 9. I did countless wipes to learn more about it and so far its stable, verizin bloatware free and the battery life is outstanding with the stock kernel. The OTA version 12 went smooth. I like it. With the hardware capabilities of this phone it will be asinine to use a stock ROM. I chose the aforementioned ROM and the devs deserve my business. Nuff said. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Yea, me too although I installed Beans at version 2 and everything works so perfectly that I never updated any further.

I am using the Perseus kernel and the battery life is outstanding but I'm sure it's probably just as good with the stock kernel.

I did try an AOKP ROM for one day, but it gave absolutely ZERO advantage that I could see and it made no sense to me to give up all the awesome features this phone comes with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wythyntime:
i've used both CleanRom and Bean and I like em both. Using Bean right now because CleanRom ACE edition won't let me bill my verizon bill for play store purchases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tansuperman:
Any version of beans with sd swap. Currently running beans 12 with perseus kernel and 64 gig sd swap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilmoney30:
I switched to Beans 11 a while ago and actually stopped bringing my charger to work. Updated to 12 last night even better yet. Testing it with the Saber kernel today , so far its just as good as his stock kernel. Its a great ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Mean bean since origin. Haven't wiped data once lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brevoviii:
Im running carbon and it seems pretty smooth fast and stable. Def recommend it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobz0202:
I'm pretty firmly on the Beans bandwagon. I really liked everything about the Note 2 minus a few of the touchwiz design choices, nothing really functional. Especially the status bar and notification pain. I felt like it utilized the extra space of the screen in the worst possible way (read: It didn't utilize that space as it blew everything up in size). Beans fixed all that for me and also makes a cleaner, more easy on the eyes, style.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moemoney12:
Meanbean rocks. This guy is constantly interacting and updating. His support is priceless. He has zero lag feature, which you can disable. His forum is well organized and easy to follow. His rom is comparable to clean rom, with more customization and support.

You cannot go wrong with cleanrom, jellybean, or Meanbean. All three are great roms. Meanbean and beans rom are updated more often and have a lot of customizations. Beans rom is the King of customizations.

Anyhow, one vote for Meanbean, the new kid on the block.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Beans is the OG of the N2! Been running his ROM since Day 1/Build 1(when it still had to be flashed thru Odin) and I'd be happy even if I was still back on that first build. Excellent support, tons of customizations, and a perfect mix of the AOSP look with TW features.

MeanBean hit the ground running as well, his support is fantastic and I like that he implemented the optional wake lag fix. He really seems to be getting down to the nitty on some things too, such as fixing the lock screen clarity with ripple effect on.

Ran Eclipse for a while also. Really like the black/inverted theming, but have had some bugs in the latest build.

Jedi is pretty solid as well, his dev team is beast, and ptmr3 is a stand up guy/dev. He had no problem taking the time to teach me some things that no other dev would even begin to.

Can't forget about Tweaked VZW, love the fact that all of the mods are built into the ROM, similar to CM/AOKP, so you can make changes without going back through Aroma. Imnuts is without a doubt a valuable dev and contributor to our community.

I'm so grateful that we have all of these awesome devs working on this phone. I was hesitant to make the switch to Verizon and go with the N2, knowing development could be slim to none. I've never been so happy to be so wrong! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jos31211:
I'm now in beans 12, I love aosp based roms but since I could find a sd swap for that I'll just stick with tw based roms.

I'd vote for my own ROM, but it isn't an option. In other news, all users of my ROM are to busy using their phones and enjoying them to come here and post their favorite ROM :D

I suppose that is have to say beans 12 I've only used it since build 10 but this is my favorite one yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jason1332:
Mean bean is awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Asadian:
Jedi X V12. For me this has been the smoothest ROM and not to mention the quickest. Battery life is a bit better than stock. it's completely debloated from all the VZW apps but keeps all the Spen functionalities. Per App DPI tool. Overclocking up to 1900 Mhz. Basically everything you would be looking for in a Custom ROM is there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I'm going to take back what I said in another thread regarding aosp. I said id never run an aosp rom on this phone..

From the first aosp build to what we have today, AOSP has come a very long way and has made positive strides towards making this phone just as relevant as TW. I really recommend GMD SPEN CONTROL for your spen needs.

I have not had any GPS issues on TW or AOSP.. my only gripe with aosp is sometimes the battery but I'm not patient enough to let it settle. Multi window of course is nice to have but I don't use it all the time.

I have a mod/zip that boosts ALL sounds on an Aosp ROM.. And to me, it makes a difference in the call volume as well if anyone is interested.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyinid:
I just came over from a Tmo Note 2, I ran Tweaked from the day I got the phone. Best ROM that phone has. Same here, Tweaked is hands-down the best, IMO. Glad you took the time to get it going on i605 imnuts.

:good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JTrusty:
I've been loving Mean Bean for quite awhile now. Mikeyxda has put out an update to his ROM almost every 2 days for a couple of weeks now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilpeezy23:
I respect his work and constant efforts but I don't really deem downloading a 1 GB file every two days very enjoyable. Great ROM though no disrespect meant
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Unless I'm way off base, the OTA updater he uses only requires downloading a diff from version to version...not the entire thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Another vote for MeanBean. One of the most appealing features to me IS the continuous updates. That's why I have stuck with it as long as I have. I wipe and flash EVERY update but the nice thing about it is its meant to dirty flash and you don't have to download an incremental version until you see something that catches your eye. Some people download every version, some people every 4th.

It's nice to have the option to flash something new whenever you're ready instead of being held hostage on somebody else's ROM waiting for an update for a month or more at a time with no idea whats going. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate every dev and every ROM we have available on the Note 2. Spectacular device and community but I need something new to flash. My sanity depends on it. Different strokes for different folks.....

And yes the OTA updates are the entire 1gb file, not just a partial download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I vote for Ultimate KangBang... mmm... ComRom...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilpeezy23:
Haha trust me I know what you're saying but at a certain point I just got tired of it. Clearly depends on the person and their life. But man I used to flash like at least 5 ROMs a day on other devices
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Thats probably my problem. I just came back from a short stint on the iPhone with nothing to flash so I am flashing everything I can get my hands on! :cool:

Has anyone seen or tryed out omega rom? I was just looking around on the interent at different roms for verizon note 2 and came across that. Its not for verizon base but looks interesting. Can anyone a suggest a rom thats like that and/or a international based rom that will work on i605? Not sure if theres any or if its even possible I dont get out much lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
First phone I've ever rooted and ROMd, been running Beans since build 7. Wanting to try others, but I've become so complacent. Feels like home to me. Same reason as everyone else, the theming, just three right amount of options, great Dev offers plenty of support. Never tried AOSP, I want to but I'm not sure it's for me and worth the hassle of going back and forth. To be continued...? =P
