I was tempted to just copy all the files to my pc and then back again rather than try a backup as I have bad memories of these on past HTC devices. Bujt we shall see

Also, where should I look for alternative ROMs and any suggestions?
That's seriously weird.
On mine/bro's NOTE2 I tried to get it to lag and I couldn't. I had maximum number of pages and widgets in all of them. With Music playing in background, downloading a file and using S Pen (a very heavy program -dunno why). It didn't lag.

What did get it to lag was when I opened the Camera App on top of that... there was a (noticeable) delay to get in the App followed by a long delay to preview the images. Still it was impressive, as that would choke most Android phones and other iPhones/Windows Phone can't even do it (they'll kill off those background tasks).

What killed the NOTE 2 was doing a very large copy and paste. This has been Android's achilles heel.

And EVERY note 2 has a lag going from Cold State to the Lockscreen. Not long, but a noticeable 1 second lag when you hit the Wake button.. weird.

I think the best ROM for the NOTE 2 is actually the original rom with only mods (eg Multi-Window MOD etc etc).

If you're really after something different, the only thing that I think is worth trying is PACMAN ROM:

This Stock ROM seems "okay" but I dont really know, I cant really recommend it:

To see all these ROMs/MODs follow this forum, especially the forth option as Android Development segment:
