Replied to your post in the other forum, but I have been partial to the "Cognition" ROMs due to the ease of use, lack of bug, and the speed. Design Gears has done an awesome job with them.
Though, there are many other good ROMs out there by many other skilled developers. The best thing to do, is to try them out and decide for yourself.
I tried sending you a private message because you posted this question on development and people go bat **** over corinth in the wrong section.
Cognition is the easiest and safest in my opinion. This kinda stuff is s master of opinion.
lol...thx....yep they do....i just figured that would be where i would find the most knowledgable people would be in the devlopement department....lol
My galaxy note kernel version is DXLC2 (malaysia)
Did I need to downgrade my kernel version frist???
I suggest you don't root your phone otherwise it will be too troublesome for you, i.e. do a lot of reading, keep up with development (which also need a lot of reading), fine tuning your custom ROM (which also need a lot of reading), the list will never ends (which unfortunately needs much reading as well!).

Yes, you should downgrade first in order to get root. Here's a little guide I wrote on how to do it, hope it helps:

Hey danwteik,
Indeed you need to do some further researching before proceed for rooting as I believe you don't want to screw your phone up.
But as long as you're prepared, you're OK. Am too a newbie to Android and after lots of research, I've successfully root & flash my phone to custom rom as well.
Just follow this guide from Ashwin, great step by step guide and you won't need to worry much as you can proceed as per the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjh6gi0Spw
Just like the firmware from the video, go download it from Dr Ketan's thread:

questions regarding root
hi all xda guys,
I am new to droid and love it thus far...
after having my galaxy note for a few weeks and doing some reading, ive decided i want to root my phone to have the best working phone possible HOWEVER im completely clueless when it comes to being this technologically adept. so i hae a few questions as follow:
1. ive read the root thread and see that there are a few different options for rooting, in everyones opinion which is the best / easiest to perform the most basic root to unlock my phone, root it and be able to install custom items.
2. CWM i assume means clock work mod...what is this mod exactly? and why is it important to install along with the root?
3. my phone settings read that my kernel version is 2.6.35.11..one rooting option i believe requires you finding out which kernel your running and they list kernels as kk## etc. how do i figure out exacty which kernel I am if it only reads the previously listed kernel version?
4. what exactly does it mean when someone told me theyre going to instal custom kernels? ( i have a friend who just bought and rooted a new Samsung GS2 and im curious as to what this means)
5. i've read the rooting directions and watched videos posted and googled my brains out...does anyone know where i can go to find the most basic and simplest explanation and directions for rooting my GN? (if youre reading and got this far and saying the explaination in the root thread IS THE EASIEST it can be....i need something dumbed down to the level a 2 year old can understand....this stuff is mind-boggling confusing for me for some reason i cant wrap my head around the process or the concept)
6. i basically want to root my phone for these reasons
- to figure out and manage to make my phone use less running ram to run faster
- to be able to install or customize the phone to make my battery last longer
- to be able to do whatever it takes to tether my phone without having to pay for it in my data plan
-to be able to install or whatever it is that allows me to customize my phone (themes, fonts, icons, etc)
- to use my phone worldwide on different carriers without having to pay for unlocking, buying other sim cards etc.
- to install or whatever to have my phone do amazingly cool stuff. (this isnt as important as 1-5 but hey who doesnt want a phone that can do everything and then some?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! i've googled it and asked friends and even have contacted someone on craigslist who offers a service for a nominal fee. but im smart and smart enough technologically speaking that i can figure it out.
i just need someone to sit down with me and explain everything step by step and answer my questions. PLEASE i'm willing to do anything and everything possible to learn and re-pay someone for their awesome-ness and sharing their intelligence.
someone something, please help a fellow user out.
*i'd even go so far as to pay-pal someone a few bucks or bake you a cake and ship it to you. im that serious.
please guys,
XDA rocks, droid rocks, YOU rock, just help me out...i've spent 5 days trolling xdas forums and other sites and forums and have just gotten more confused. someone dumb this down for me!

Yes, it does make a slight difference inasmuch it's a totally different phone from N7000. Look, it even has its own forum:

Did you try this method successfully on your Note?
Hi,
I just got my Galaxy Note last week and would like to root it. I found the link below and would like to check with you guys first if they really work. I could not post on that thread for I'm a new member. I think some of you have posted in that thread too. Please help.

About my phone:

1.) Can I use the this:

2.) Can I use Odin3 v1.85?
3.) Can I still unroot after this?
4.) I just need the PDA file to gain root access and ensure No-Wipe?
Thanks in advance.

1.yes you can use it
2.yes
3.yes, flash with Stock ROM with PC odin, will unroot it.
4.Read installation guide on post from whr you downloading. I can add, dont flash CSC otherwise, it will wipe off data.
Hello Friends.
I am very keen on getting started with the Rooting process for my Galaxy Note. I have been reading and trying to comprehend the various methods of achieving root but it seems overwhelming and daunting.
I reiterate what I have stated in another thread, I am an infant in this domain. I feel much too confused presently and thus I humbly request you to please guide me one step at a time.
At the very beginning, I aspire to achieve two motives. They are -
1] Root my device
2] Back up the stock ROM
My device details are :
Model number
GT-N7000
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband version
N7000XXKK5
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
I thank you in advance for continuing to have patience with me.

link not working... 404..
just insert www infront of link
can some-one download that script, and attach here? i can't download from http://fileurl.me
I call BS on this, the file download site only lets you dowload if you complete a competition (where the entries cost £5 each), or you buy a premium credit.
Also notice how the three comments sound very similar and are posted within 5 mins of the article. Google isnt that fast at indexing.
I think it is someone out to make a quick buck on people looking for root on this device.

I've got in touch with Dan Rosenburg who has rooted other LG phones and he is interested in helping but needs to talk to someone who has the handset, unfortunately I'm still waiting on the delivery of mine at the moment.
PM me if you want his email.

It's definitely a scam,there was a tutorial on the tube a week ago which also pointed to this location and wanted you to participate in a so called "survey" before letting you download anything.
BEWARE!!
Well it got me creating a new e-mail address for spam mails, completing one of the surveys, only to end up looking like a jackass. Completing the survey didn't bring forth any download link.
Before starting the survey I studied the source code of the site, including some .JS files, and couldn't find any sign of code to generate the download link, so I guess I was warned.
As far as i know, there is not a root exploid for our LG P880
The only way to get a reliable root function on our device is to develop it here.
I tried several existing methods to do it but with no luck.
I think we need to extract the full rom implement the root function and upload it back to the device or...
Try to develop a update.xxx with or without CWM and use this to root or...
Maybe we can use NVFLASH to reach our goal...
The word is to our LG experts here on the board who already rooted a LG, and give us a direction to go to...
Hopefully we get a breakthrough soon because i realy need to kill some autostarts here...
I'm counting on xda dev right now, hope someone can root this device soon. ^^
What about plain root privilege escalation bugs? I'm thinking of Mempodipper, which is younger than the 2.6.39.4 kernel on the O4X. I would try it myself, but I don't have a toolchain for the android platform, and didn't want to buy the C4Droid App for nothing. ^^

evreybody here is waiting the same :good:
Based on current poll results close to 60% of all Android users have no idea how to apply custom themes, icons, widgets ect... on their phone, for the last few days I have been trying to find some information on this topic but finished with no luck, im sure these instructions been posted many times in the past or on page ######/84573895739 lol, even with basic internet searching there is no pages or threads found that explain the process...but seriously speaking with your help I would like to put together a noob guide on this subject and request it as a sticky.
Poll Results:
Do you use custom themes?
Yes, I know how and I use them 1,459 38.53%
No, I know how but I choose not to use them 249 6.58%
I don't know how to change themes 2,079 54.90%
based on these results I am not the only one who has no idea how to get my phone looking exactly the same as posted here...
1) how to apply install any icon pack from .zip file obtained here, could someone please give me some basic noob instructions where exactly to place the .zip or extracted folder? how to install them/apply them? and can I use them with Next launcher? if not I can use a different launcher - which you recommend that is best for custom themes?
2) if someone has patience with this being asked a millionth time please give me dummy steps to get my phone looking exactly like the following SC 73 theme found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42485887&postcount=2113
3) If I manage to install the icons how the hell do I get the widgets looking the same? Is it something to do with the zooper widget app?
4) On another note, these theme require UCCW? how on earth do I get my phone looking like any of the following here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43085671&postcount=2293&nocache=1&z=4107321248570039
Im sorry to ask these simple questions but there is no instruction found anywhere grrrr so with your help ill put together a simple step by step guide for others like me
