I'm actually running CyanogenMod on my N7105 (international Note 2 with Exynos processor and LTE) and it is a big upgrade from TouchWiz. From what I remember, CM11 M6 (my first attempt) had a some painful rough edges, but things got a lot better starting with M8. It's not bug-free (and, in particular, the camera is still more temperamental than I'd like), but neither is TouchWiz (where, for example, GPS is more temperamental). The last time I checked neither felt clearly buggier than the other in my daily use (and CM has the bonus of not requiring some apps to paper over TouchWiz API "quirks").
Ironically, I'm also unhappy with my Note 2, but for a very different reason: It turns out the Nexus 7 LTE is just barely portable enough for me to carry around almost all the time, so it has become my goto device for ebooks, video and browsing. So I'm perfectly happy with my Note 2's software, but it has lost its size advantage and I want smaller hardware (maybe the Xperia Z3 Compact?).
- bane 12y agoOut of curiosity does the S-Pen still work at all under CyanogenMod?
- fpgeek 12y agoThe hardware works fine (including pressure sensitivity and the pen button), you just lose the proprietary Samsung apps. But, as noted in other comments, those apps have their own issues, so they're no great loss. You're probably better off with third-party replacements even if you're not using CyanogenMod (e.g. Papyrus instead of S Note).
