Someone convince me to go AOKP/CM/etc.

silentecho13 · Feb 20, 2013

I'm running Skynote 8.1 right now and I love it.

Nova launcher and the Perseus kernel, it's great.

I've been eyeing some of the AOKP and CM nightlies lately. What did you notice first/appreciate the most when you switched away from a TW based ROM?

Of course, I've read through all the threads for features and changelogs, but I wanted to get some quick first-hand opinions.

I'm not asking the overly-posted 'which ROM is best??!??!?!??!??!?' question, so don't flame me lol.

Honestly you should just try it. I did it myself also. Shouldn't keep asking this question as you can Google aosp vs touchwiz. So you might just get flamed. We shouldn't be giving you reasons anyways lol. Man up and back up and try it.

Guess you're right lol.

Backing up now, I'll report back tomorrow lol.

You won't know until you test it for yourself. I did and I love it ever since. Never going back to stock ROM ever. Loving 4.2.2 with the Bluetooth fixed.

If I was on another phone besides the Note 2 I would be using an AOSP Rom.
I bought the Note 2 b/c of its unique features. Mainly the spen and the multi-view app feature. Two things you sort of loose by going AOSP. Sure there are 3rd party stylus apps you can get, but the TW stylus apps are much better.
I tried various 4.2.X Roms and always kept going back to Skynote. I always felt like I was actually missing features when going to 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. Skynote with Nova Launcher gives me everything I want.

I fully agree. Specifically the multi-view. If multiview was working on AOSP i'd make the switch!

Worth checking out AOKP 4.2.2! I have never had the urge to jump ship on stock however I wanted to see what the latest AOKP was all about and it is awesome! I always keep an updated nandroid of stock as well if I miss my SPen too much

Is the Spen functional with AOKP/AOSP/CM roms ?

I am on the fence as well, I was always on AOKP (Rootbox) with my old i9100. It was great!

Guys try out the PA if you haven't done that yet.

Spen works, you just don't have the Spen apps and widgets. You can always download a replacement from the app store.

I will not convince you. I'm keeping my Samsung phone Samsung.

<flamebait>
Untill AOSP/AOKP reaches feature parity with Nature UX 4.x and Holo interface is less boring and flat, I'm not switching.

The only thing kept me switching to aosp/aokp

1. won't support 64gb card
2. Multi window!

thephoneguyusa · Feb 22, 2013

I for the longest time stayed stock. Samsung hit the nail on the head with the note 2 haha I tried AOKP and remembered what it was like to have my galaxy nexus again Lol I keep an updated stock nandroid for back up but my day to day driver is aokp.. Worth checking out if you haven't yet

ManelScout4Life I like your ROMs but lazerus06 is right, SkyNote is very fast and I'm not a T/W fan but I've really taken a shine to SkyNote.

Oh sweet, aosp supports 64gb card now. Does it supports exfat?

Hmmm, touchwiz is mucha caliente on my Note 2.

Will never support exfat.

Touchwiz fast vs aosp fast are two different things.

Hmmmm, I have to agree on that one.
