honestly, i think you just better stick to the original ROM.

and just curious... what concerns do you have regarding KNOX? for most users, it just looks and feels like another apps. you can choose not to enable it. it'll still be there but not really running.

and if KNOX is not really an issue, just update to latest Note 2 firmware.

reason why i suggest u stick to stock is coz... you dun seem to be well versed yet in terms of ROMS, etc... so, save you the headache. stick to stock ROM.

if you read the last few pages of this thread, you'd realise i have some "issues" with the DN3 rom. and many did say in the end, they went back to stock rom.

stay in stock for peace of mind smile.gif

For the vast majority of users, stock with a custom launcher is more than sufficient. In fact most people just stick with TouchWiz.

Some will root for several advanced functions like backup and ad blocking.

Knox is actually a benefit for corporate types, but apparently it may not be as popular as other current MDM (mobile device management) solutions yet. It doesn't actually hamper you in your daily usage at all.

I'm on DN3 V3.1.1 from back in January, based on 4.3, and I'm very happy with it as it is rock stable and gives me the Note 3 features I like. It's sort of like having 2 x Note 3's now tongue.gif

hahaha...since i join this topic, u had been keep on mention on the DN3 v3.1.1
maybe one day i will give it a try...i actually looking for a stock feel of rom with some note 3 features only...

The last 4.3 ROM from them is 3.2 which you can download. They've probably removed all earlier versions.
*
yups...it no longer there...so only have the 3.2 left there...
hopefully there is not much diff for 4.3 rom smile.gif

at the same time i also download dr ketan v8...i been download a lot of his rom but never had a chances to install it tongue.gif

definitely not liking DN3 v5+ Lite. i think i've used it for almost a month and... at least once a week, it'll slow on me, forcing me to reboot.

so, going to try Phoenix. another ROM with Note 3 features, but honestly, if its anything like DN3, i dun think i'll actually appreciate.

i realised i hardly make use of the fan menu. and its got no floating browser which i sorely miss. i can't even recall what Note 3 function that i used from DN3.

so, I might just try out the ARHD after Phoenix. smile.gif

see how... maybe ARHD is all i need. a slim and fast ROM. with good battery.
*
pheonix having the issue also. it basically can last longer than 100 hour of up time. u can see the ram usage is getting higher and it cant be clear. Basically when it over 1.4G ram usage then it wont coming down anymore, only reboot will fix it.

i didnt look for any solution but change to dr ketan rom and so far so good.

my friend installed Agni kernel and it seem working fine.

ok, in that case, i'll skip Phoenix and go with ARHD.

dr ketan... i thought he gave up Note 2 liao? sorry... didn't really follow what is happening. i just need a good working ROM. i know he's got good reputation but at one time, recall he said he's stopping dev for Note 2 and going note 3...
*
yups..
using his good bye version lo.. v8
so far so good...

been changing from DN3 -> pheonix -> dr ketan

By the way guy.. Any stable & light rom to intro?

Currently on Phoenix v18.8, its doing good for me but the memory hog issue and gotta restart everyday is making me sick.

Seeking a for a lite rom that for daily use, mostly will be messaging, CoC and browsing. biggrin.gif
*
my friend solve this issue by installing the AGNI kernel and been using the rom more than 220 hours without the memory issue. maybe u can have a try on that.

According to him, no any special setting being done on the kernel.

Cant decide to go with ARHD or DN3 rom now. hmm.gif
But anyways, thanks for the heads up. Time to toss coin. LOL
So its more like kernel issue? AGNI works for it? Maybe I should give a try for this one and see how it works. Somehow kinda lazy to flash and do restoration.
*
i was too fast before he discover this method...
before this i also using the v18.8 and like it very much... but once the memory over 1.4G basically it cant be clear and only restart is the solution.

then i already switch it to dr.ketan v8 rom...

mee tooo looking for a refresh look. my note 2 is still going strong after 2 years of using it... just need a refresh look. i wished there is a company which can refurbish your phone based on your liking... take it apart, spray paint with other colors.. mix and match depending on your liking and put it back together.. that would be awesome...

for now, i wanna find a good bumper... let me know if u get any good deals smile.gif
*
u can easily get all the casing from taobao...
i recently just bought the middle part (chrome area) + the rear part for RM60+
the front part will be a bit complicated to do as u need to remove the LCD if not mistaken.
after change, it will look like new biggrin.gif

but remember to get the ori one as the middle part is where all ur antenna located and touch to the main board.

Last week, my brand new LG G2 screen shattered after dropped it on the tarmac, after using it less than 30 minutes. Replaced the whole screen assembly module for RM450.

Yesterday, My Note 2 screen is having problem. Screen not shattered, but under a bright light i can see some hairline crack inside the screen. No display at all so i do not know whether digitizer still works or not.

Asked the shop, quoted for rm150 for screen while rm490 with digitizer. Any advise?
*
not sure worth it to change or not...
but i think the price is terbalik rite?
normally the digitizer is cheaper compare to the screen
