I've tried clean rom 3.5, 4 and the verizon version. Also beans 4 and 5. Always go back to stock with various mods to my liking. For some reason one thing or the other on the roms annoyed me or didn't work.

It's probably just phone specific but I could never get g talk to work. My gmail always crashed. I liked all the toggles with beans but I hated how they weren't labeled. I would flash each and try em

I am Loving my "Beans" rom, I have to say I have tried the others on various phones, "Beans" was the First one I tried with this Galaxy Note 2 and has not let me down yet. I am afraid to try the others now, because everything I want seems to be in "Beans" Rom. I love it!!

CleanROM VZWE. Was on Beans B4/5 most recently but may flash back to CleanROM 4.0.5. Like the way Android 4.1.2 runs compared to 4.1.1, granted there isn't much of a difference but some is there. Beans is good, but I actually like the look for TouchWiz. Call me crazy, but it has grown on me. VZW of CleanROM seems fine to me too, GPS locks slightly quicker.

My only hangup with cleanrom is the fact that not all the apps are available with multi window. Beans was and of course the stock I'm running with my tweaks, all of them are. :P

That is actually the one I have yet to try, the VZW version of cleamrom.

What apps were not available?

Most. The basic ones were available including youtube facebook and chrome based off memory. I like having the option of all my apps there in case I want to use the feature. His Rom instructions say all are included, so not sure why mine weren't. I am 99.9% happy with my state of my phone with the exception of the wifi notification annoyance. If someone can find a way to get rid of it, I'm happy as a clam.

You do realize there is an app included in the rom called MWC. It allows you to add any app you want or remove any

Running cleanrom 4. Everything works great for me except the verizon usage widget wont update automatically. Im new to touchwiz and like the look of the toggles. I may grow tired of that and do something more aosp looking eventually who knows?

I'm enjoying CleanROM 4.0.5. It's fast and stable, although I can't say for sure if it's any faster than stock since this phone is a powerhouse. I had problems at first but I attributed that to restoring apps & data with Titanium, after only restoring the apps, everything has been golden. I like the MultiWindow Control, extra toggles, although I do miss how the stock toggles scroll when you pull down the notification bar (dev has posted a zip for the original).

I'm intrigued by these DPI changes I've been reading about, but haven't looked into it that much yet. I'm sure I'll give beans and some of the other ROMs a try at this point.

**yuzume83** · 01-10-2013, 03:50 PM

I'm on Bean's build 4 and it's been really quick and stable so far. Perhaps I will give CleanROM a try just because I like changing things up every so often.

**pmjj** · 01-11-2013, 07:21 AM

Yeah Beans ! Ahead so far we need more votes lol and comments

**leroybrute** · 01-11-2013, 09:58 PM

Beans B6 in a day or 2 hopefully!

Edit. I lied beans B6 is up now. Go get some!

**pmjj** · 01-12-2013, 07:51 AM

I got my Beans 6, waiting to install now lol... I hate waiting, but I love this Rom!!! I am going to try the SD card swap this time.

**Bond32** · 01-12-2013, 11:15 AM

Those of you on Beans, what all is themed? I personally hate them in but I've been curious to try it.

It's all pretty much an aosp look. You have options for cyan blue toggles or white toggles. Some black and blue here and there.

**leroybrute** · 01-12-2013, 08:32 PM

How did the sd swap go for ya pmjj? The sd swap is causing a lot of issues over there. I didn't have problems with it but I could see glitches etc. So I reverted back. Something seems off with it.
As far as the ROM, I am loving it. I did install Perseus kernel through aroma and stock settings I am getting 7500 quadrant and 20000 antutu. No results on battery yet though.

**pmjj** · 01-12-2013, 11:17 PM

So far leroybrute, I am loving the new Update to Beans! No problems so far with the sd swap seems to be working out. Though not quite a full day with it yet lol. I will let you know if I have any.

**jengobengo** · 01-13-2013, 10:32 PM

So if I'm going to update from Beans 4, and I'm on the SD card swap mode (where my SD card is recognized as the main phone memory), how do I ensure my app data and photos carry over?

Once I know this I will definitely check out CLEAN and future ROMs.
