[THOUGHTS] Best and most stable Custom Rom so far - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys..
So ok admittedly I've only tried Rocket Rom v8 so far but I am having a few niggles with it.
What's everyone's views on the other roms out there? Any opinions on the best and why?

I went back to v7.
V8 had too many prob for me. 7 is much faster and smoother for me

V9 that'll come out Monday

So I'm guessing that the rocketrom is the peoples favourite?

I'm still on stock(KL3) with mowmo's theme. Waiting for a near perfect ROM, probably Rocket ROM's next version. BTW, how's Cassie's UltraLite ROM?

Well, Im on checkrom revo Note HD v5 ... and so far satisfied with it... no probs at all ... its unique feature is its Kitchen pro app

I still think the ROMS on Note are lacking compare to its small brother GS2..

Hi there, i tested all the roms avalible.
If u want to do a full wipe without boot loops and very good battery and smooth operating try Darky note 3.1 or King Droid 4.0 i like those 2 very much.

I won't go into bashing other's work but some just release their roms to get donations without even owning the device...
I'll just say two thumbs up for Rocket Rom. You can see i posted V8 a couple of posts ago, since then we're at V21 and i still think it's the best darn ROM currently available.

I tried them all, now back to stock LA4, and happy

I've tried Stock Rooted LA4, RocketRom, and Cassie's XL, and my favorite is Cassies. I tried Abyss 3.3/3.4, Speedmod, and FM Kernel 1.5/1.6/2.0 and ended up with FM 2.0.
I chose it because of it's smoothness/performance. Battery is average at best, but it lasts a day so I'm ok with it.

RocketROM v21! it's just perfect.

I've got RocketROM v20 and AbyssNoteKernel 3.6 and it works perfect.
No issues anywhere. and no overheating. Nothing. It just works smoothly and calm

there are 4/5 very good roms
all with + and -
so its impossible to say which is "the best"
depends on your needs
i tried many rocket roms and i was amazed by the good work
then i switched on another 1, maxicet's rom and i was again impressed
different solutions and so on with a different final result but its like to compare 2 beatiful flowers
then i tried darky rom and again i said gosh.....very good job
so many rom fits your needs better than stock and all deserve a try

Best Overall Rom

Hey so I was curious as to which rom is overall best on the I9000, in terms of a combination of newness, ram space(speed) and stability, cause I understand that the newer the update, the less the ram? I am currently using JVR
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i have found the best experince on these roms
Hybrid rom
Cyanognmod 7.1
insanity
amestris
i have to go with cyanogenmod 7.1 or hybrid
super fast
Although i have not tried any recent roms on XDA. I found Tornado JVT to be the fastest and most stable. Although i personally don't think the quadrant score really makes a difference i get a max of 4100
currently im running the Teamhacksamsung ICS port, but the most satisfying ROMS have been the ones out of Darky's kitchen...!

I found them to be the slowest.
The ota is a nice feature though.
Im quite happy with my current combo: jw1+semaphore+thunderbolt (on ext4)
The fastest rom is cm7 but the ram managent is bad so you would have to install thunderbolt to make it fast the whole time instead of the first hour(s).
Cm7 has not so good battery life, but if youre fine with charging twice a day its the one to choose

how do you even get that Rom? ive tried so hard looking for it but i end up on some sight in foreign language, its like a secret cult or something, no-one talks about it it its supposedly the best. lol XD
For sure MintBerry MIUI if it should be MIUI.
Jetpack ROM 8.0 if it should be a Samsung ROM.
But waiting for MIUI 4.0 port no I´m not using the Galnet version...

Just stay at JVR or upgrade it to a newer official ROM.
Only in this case u'll get phone with a full set of working features, especially camera and hardware accelerated video playback.
Yeah, official ROMs are maybe not as smooth and don't have such comfortable UI, but at least it works as supposed without any big issues.
i9000 is my 2nd device, first was Spica, so i used to use lots of different roms and my experience says that there's no ROMs better then official one.
I'm using Mintberry MIUI with the Thunderbolt script and I'm finding it to be pretty smooth. CM7 is also very competent in performance.
However, the thing with these AOSP ROMS is that they lack the Samsung framework so video playback, camera, etc don't run as smoothly.
I've always found stock ROMs to be the best overall ROM as long as you flash a kernel like Semaphore or Tornado, I just like to use Mintberry MIUI because its aesthetics suit me better than stock

been away for a while, which rom is kickin?

hey guys, haven't touched my sgs1 in almost a year since I got my sgs2.. I'm currently on early 10.something, is darkyrom still the best? it gets pretty laugh.. have to restart it alot.. good battery life tho. so what's in top now, maybe cm7? Clare there different versions of cm7? (that has voodoo sound right?). anyone offer me a stable rom that won't run out of ram lol?
ill give thanks/rep to anyone who offers suggestions
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
There are quite a lot of ROMS to choose from. I have tried many of them myself, and am currently flicking between GALAXYDROID v 3.3 and SAUROM. I like the touches of galaxydroid yet like the stock feel of Saurom. I tried Darkys in many versions, and always found the battery life not too good.
Best way is to look at whats on offer, and give them all a bash. Each to their own end of the day.

[Q] Which is the best custom ROM?

Which is the best custom ROM?
And why, in your opinion?
Please, post your answer in this thread, it would be useful for many ppl
Thanks a lot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
There is no best ROM. It solely depends on your preference.
Cassie's XtraLiteRom was the 1st ROM I flashed with. But it removed too many features which I deemed essential.
Then I flashed to DarkyNote ROM. But I encountered too many bugs.
Finally, I flashed Sheep ROM, and have been using it ever since for 2 weeks.
No bugs as of yet. I like its balance of pure stock and optimizations/tweaks.

i started off with darkrom, had it for 2 days, but it was a bit buggy..
then i moved on to rocket, which was pretty good, except it drained the batt faster than stock :S
i'm now on checkrom, i've had it for a week, and i couldn't be more satisfied.. great battery life, i've gotten up to 40hrs on above moderate usage, good performance, and the kitchen pro app that it comes with is amazing.
I also settled on checkrom for the battery life and stability.

Again you're right.
But in this way ppl can save time, making an idea of pro/cons of some ROM.
Do you never look at the rating or comments about an app to decide wether install it or not or wether it worths to try it?
For ROMs I think this kind of opinion is much more important and useful.

Let's be honest here...there IS a best rom at any given moment. There is very little criteria needed to decide which is best:
1) speed/performance
2) battery life
3) functionality/options
4) theme/aesthetica
1 and 2 are pretty straight forward, 3 doesn't have much budge room either and for 4, some people like loud and colorful cartoons on their phones and others prefer a cleaner, more minimalist look.
I can never understand why so many people dislike this kind of best rom thread. There ate a lot of smart, informed people on here who could offer better insights as to the pros/cons of multiple roms, why discourage this?
I've used every rom in the Dev thread and it its crystal clear to me that rocket rom is far and away the best in all the aforementioned categories. Cassies was ok but too thin, sheep rom was good at first but got swallowed up by the competition. Check rom is good but rocket is better, darky flat out sucked and there its no reason to go into the rest.

Can I help me pick a rom too? I'm reading up on Rocket ROM and Check ROM right now though.
Here's what I need:
1 & 2 - Max / best possible combination.
3 & 4 - I may only need highly-significant, innovative changes that you can judge as sort of.. "something you've been missing" while on stock rom. But then again, I may not have much regard for a specific item so I can probably live without it.
THANKS!!
Tbh, DarkyROM really seems to be buggy. I've read too many bug reports in that thread. I tried the ROM myself, and encountered numerous bugs as well.
I'm going to try Rocket ROM to see if jason370's claims are true.
I think we need some AOSP-based ROMs ASAP.
EDIT:
I've tried CheckROM v2 before, too.
I got random bootloops with AbyssNote v2.8, so I was forced to restore back to Sheep ROM.
Only recently received my shiny new Galaxy Note and the first thing I did was root it, CWM it and get the following ROM installed:
CheckROM Revo NoteHD
The reason I opted for this one is that the ROM Kitchen adds a lot of options for customization which means the tweaks I get are decided by *me* and not a ROM developer. So far I have yet to experience any problems with it and it did allow me to overclock. It even goes as far as letting you switch kernels from the device its self, can't fault that!
So far I'm a happy chap and glad I switched from my old iPhone 4!
I think n7000xxkl8 Rom will be best if u install it with mobile Odin.

I think you're talking about stock ROMs.
I tried romow and rhapsody.... now I'm using rhapsody and I find it very fast and stable.
As the note is my only phone, I have to run stock which is fine by me. Can't risk issues etc...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Running Checkrom on my SGS2 and planning on running the same thing on the galaxy note when i get it this week. its the perfect rom for people who want a stock experience on steroids. Im guessing the note version is basically the same thing.
However, Im kind of shocked about many users reporting bad battery life and laggyness on the note. That was my main problem with most android phones since day 1 and have not had a single issue like that with my sgs2 since ive had it. I was hoping the note would be an improvement over that, I guess i will have to find out.

I have tried Rocket and currently on CheckRom V3.
My personal experience, Rocket has better battery life. I would get atleast 2 days on Rocket. This was on the older V14 version. eybee has already released v17. For the same amount of usage, CheckRom V3 drains in a day.
If you would like to keep all the samsung apps that come with the stock rom without the hassle of trying to figure out which apps you want and which you don't want, Rocket will be good.
CheckRom has the Samsung apps removed. However you can install them from the Kitchen. I like the Kitchen option in CheckRom. If you are open to customizing your rom a lot, this is a good.
+1 for the [JAN 9][XXKL7][2.3.6][FINAL] CheckROM Revo NoteHD™ V3 its running on Steroids!
+ Kitchen App
+ very smooth with Abyss 3.0
+ lasts more than 2 days on battery with moderate/normal use

Rocket rom vs check rom

Do a nandroid backup and just try it yourself.
I think Check is better, but does my opinion really help you?

FWIW, I run with one of these two ROMs, but I'm not going to say which one - these sorts of questions are always truly pointless because there is no right answer, only differing opinions!

Every ROM got its own advantages..basically developers cook ROM that suits them..u can try as many as u like to find what ROM suits u..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
it usually boils down to what you want best for your note.
having different ROMs means having lots of choices for end users such as us.
with that said, i have no answer to your question.
btw, i'm using Criskelom, because it's the most comfortable ROM (for me) to use.
I have tried checkrom v5 and rocketrom v22. In my opinion both are good rom. Battery life for checkrom is slighly better than rocketrom. But rocket rom not bad either. In checkrom I have difficulties to auto allign my S Pen but not in rocketrom. I like kitchen pro in checkrom u can customize your checkrom. So up to your preference... try both and then decide.
Coke vs Pepsi...
let the war begin!
I just found out that other user also facing the same problem about USSD code *#0*# LCD Test (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428855&page=275) in checkrom which means you will have difficulties to calibrate your S-Pen. Other than that I love this rom. Hope they will fix it.
check is the most stable rom i have ever used...

[Q] The Best ROM for me

Hi all. I've got a SGS (I9000).
I need same advice: what Is the best ROM for me?
I usually use my smartphone to:
- send SMS;
- surf on internet (like Facebook);
- call samebody.
The battery life is VERY IMPORTANT!
Thanks ^^
Try aopk rom 2.02 beta ICS
sent from my ice creamed super sgs
Well i've been testing out lots and lots of roms and seems that ICS is the ones that saves battery the most and they run much smoother too. And stock browser runs much smoother on ics too... So i think ics is the way.. I'm just not sure what of them draws less battery life tough.
I'm using ICSSGS RC4.2 and with heavy use the battery seems to last pretty ok and that rom is almost perfect with almost everything working. Actually i think its the best ics rom today, tomorrow could be another rom But yeah it all depends what you use and like for your phone and for me its that one atm.
I've tried many many roms and all ICS-rom don't have good battery life.
My favorites:
- Amestris-roms
- SauRom
- JW1 with Tornado-kernel
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I agree, depending on what your looking for would determine the best rom for you. the best bet is just trying them and seeing which you like the best, truthfully a lot of the rom are hard to notice performance differences and many perform alike. If you are looking for the best battery life i would personally be looking back at some 2.2 and 2.3.x based roms. they have had the most time invested in them so far, and have not been completely ported.
a good webpage to check out roms is done by @AlChemistar at android candy and then find the device.
personally i have only experimented with 2.3.x based roms and ICS
for gingerbread i would recommend:
DarkysRom (10.2 Extreme)
Fl GS2
MIUI
For ICS:
TeamHacksung
OneCosmic
drZMIUIV4 beta 8.1
for a full list got to android candy. this is just what i prefer, and for making calls, texting and web browsing ICS is nicer but the interface for texting does lack. you may want tot check out theme available to take the white background back to the Samsung black for AMOLED screens.
yeah, i suggest the 2.3.x roms for battery life. they are way more matured than ICS per now.
i just installed ICSSGS RC4.2, and battery life is not good, ( i need to test different kernel).

From your post it sounds like we have similar phone useage. So far i've found team icssgs with semaphore 0.8.1 to have great lag free experience with good battery life. Fairly light useage as I use my tablet for most internet & games (wifi, 3g on only if i need it with several calls, sms's, some xda, facebook& g+) and i made just under 4 days down 10% battery or there about.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
I think I also have the same usage (phone, text, and web), and I'm a bit disappointed with ICSSGS RC4.2 with semaphore kernel. But I have data always connected (and synchro on), and when I use my phone intensively for about one hour, I loose about 30% of battery life. I'm still looking for a rom with data always enabled, that I can use intensively for 2 hours per day, without charging it during the day.. If you know a rom like that (like galaxy nexus do, but for SGS), please let me know !!
