Phone owned for less than a month

The internet is bad, multimedia is okay. GPS is good. Game is great. Camera's okay. The apps aren't good enough. And Pen is very good. I always take care of it. It's the first phone part of the galaxy note series

Galaxy note has been a top phone for years, thanks to the great work made by Samsung in terms of personalization and additional features. But the built-in rom, after some updates, has become too heavy for the RAM and CPU, increasing the lag of touchwitz UI. A good solution is to chose custom roms based on touchwitz.
