I have used Galaxy SL and am using Galaxy Note.
Many people were and are complaining about Stock Roms, either ICS or GB for both of the phones I use.
They say that Camera has a pink problem, GPS does not lock quickly, Video recording is not good, it is laggy, etc etc.
But same people are dying for CM Roms which have lots of bugs. Even CM 7.2 has wifi and video recording bugs for i9003.
Even stock Roms do not have those problems, and many latest stock roms are really good, people are not happy with them.
I do not see any reason to mention about Note stock Roms, especially ICS kernels and roms. They are very very stable without any bugs.
However, many people bricked their phones while they are trying to flash CM10 to their Notes.
OK. I accept that one year old stock roms were not good as much as they should be. But this is not the case anymore.
But still many people are ready to die for CM even if it has many bugs. They complain for stock but lose themselves for CM
Now, could someone please explain me what makes CM Roms that better? And even if they have lots of bugs people are using them as daily driver?
Regards
Maybe just for fun

CM(At least CM9) is really quite stable on the note, I have never had any problems with it.
I personaly use it as my daily drive for a few reasons:
I find it gives better battery life
I Love the stock ICS look over samsungs touchwiz
CM9 uses much less RAM giving more ram for apps, giving better multitasking and also much more RAM for running a linux GUI
I have used CM roms since my HTC magic CyanogenMod 4 FTW! (infact I might have been running early than that but I really dont remember)
personally ive used CM builds but never felt like ive wanted to use them as my daily drivers because they just lack too many built in features of the stock rom
im not the type of person to get a stripped down rom and download 1000 apps to make it how i want it
id rather use the stock rom, only download 10 apps and have everything there
Mainly it uses a safe kernel which is emmc cap erase command disabled which prevents from our device from bricking.
In CM(/AOSP/AOKP most of the logging/Samsung crap applications were removed so that your phone runs fast. Its just about 140-160 MB. You can feel the difference in size. lol
Its very stable compared to other roms.
You will see a lot of features put it up in rom.
Etc Etc

1+ touchwiz is only a great ui until you experience something different, something greater.

as said from other users, best ROM for the International N7000 Galaxy Note is the ParanoidAndroid
I was using aosp in my smaller phones. Galaxy s2 for example because i can mod them like changong dpi and so on, and the stock rpms for gs2 were so bad, but with my new note i think the stock roms are more stable and battery friendly than aosp, also yhe kernel development for aosp isn't so great as fow TW Roms, and this my 1st reason to use stock, you know i was flashing 2-3 kernels/day in my s2
BTW: You can remove all crap in the stock rom to have agood rolunning rom.

I think in the same way also.
CM lacks lots of stuff from Samsung craps. That's OK. butn it also lack lots of thing I daily use.
Besides I tried ADW Launcher. It really sucks. Nova is far more better and smoother.
Also some people claim that it drains less battery and it is fast. It is obvious that they did not use Notecore v9 with TW
I thas been 1 day and I still have %70 battery. And can't tell how awesome it is. Just check the thread...
As for ram, my phone uses ram between 500-600 mb. There are still 200 mb rams. Which is fine and enough for me.
Also it is really easy to remove some crappy stuff from samsung when you are rooted. (to be rooted takes only three minutes or maybe less )
It is OK some people like it and use it. I am of course fine with that.
But what I mean is CM is not superior to stock or TW based Roms, at least not anymore...
Regards.
But I cannot understand why people like stcok roms with some modification
its all personal preference.
like spen/ intevration of pen and samsung apps use stock
like rom to be close to android original source and above mentioned advantages use cm9/aoskp. you wont have full spen and other samsung apps.
whichever you like

Then the answer is that people prefer it because of their preferences

No matter what rom i try, i always end up going back to CM.
The main reason i'm on CM is for the speed and the features.

CM = AOSP. AOSP = Android how it was designed and intended to be.
For me, User Interface is the most important factor in choosing the OS. Android was far behind iOS and WP7. It changed since ICS and now JB made it even better than iOS. Pure awesomeness of WP7 interface is a whole other story, not commenting on the OS itself - its UI is simply amazing. Back to UI preferences...It has to be responsive, fast and well designed ( that means visually attractive and coherent ). For example, TouchWiz is terrible for me, it makes my phone look like cheap chinese rip-off. I'm sorry, that's just my opinion, i don't want to offend anyone. The only overlay i like is Sony's TimeScape, although i still prefer AOSP. Why ? Simply because it's better designed, coherent and smoother - so it makes my user experience a lot more satisfying.
For the Note, best ROM is still Paranoid Rom for me. Firstly because of the safe kernel and secondly I can easily overclock and under volt it without much hassles.

Well it all depends...when I had the captivate Cm9 was by far the best experience. So I came to the note with the same expectations but sadly cm9 and the likes are still not on par with Samsung ROMs in speed or features.
I still flash newer versions as I expect them to be better at some point but at this time..still not there. I use CleanNote Rom.

Which kernel do you use for over clocking?
Sent From A Paranoid Incognegro Galaxy Note
I haven't been able to sift through all the different features and bugs, so I'm wondering if anyone who has used both versions could tell me which one is overall better. I'm tired of all the bugs/missing features in CM9.1.
Myself, I prefer Jelly Bean because it's utilises the new 7inch form factor layout. It gets rid of the nav buttons in favour of just the status and that means more screen real estate. So yes, I much prefer Jelly Bean, mind you I've had some Sleep of Death issues.

I have used both.
Last CM9 nightly is very stable.no major issues.
The tablet mode works ok.
On CM10 (running 20121011), there are a couple of issues but still quite stable.
For me the main problems are:
- The launcher is not yet optimized for our team there is overlapping on landscape mode. no tablet mode yet. You can still use any other launcher.
- SoD (you need to setup the min clock to 400 MHz).
- If you put the airplane mode Wi-Fi/ BT won't restart until you don't reboot your tab.
- Battery life is not the best
I'm using Cm10for daily use.

Dear all Developers,
I am using samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 phone.
I Have tried many roms which are there in developers forum list. like Cyanogenmod 7.2, S'Perience rom, SII and others.
Some how I compare this all with the original stock rom I feel the stock is better.
Please note following points which I like to use in phone.
1) It should be fast enough.I know the CPU 800mhz is less but i will like to use most of it with good battery life in my view I feel no change in stock & custom roms
2) Themes, I am getting new ICS Or JB themes in custom roms but that all I get with Holo launcher & ADW launcher without flashing custom roms in stock which for me is fine.
3) I missing Samsung All Share play in custom roms. I need that preferably as I am using my LED TV to view media from my phone over wifi very easily.
4) In some of the custom roms doesn't have Radio apps. I also need this as am using it often. It is there in S'Perience rom but it is very similar to one which is in stock so no need to change as I Feel.
5) Last as I am using my phone very much in terms of calling & messaging through out the day. for that I need very fast running dialer & messaging UI. I had seen the JB dialer which I don't like. S'Periance is looks good but lags in continuous use. Any better option will be appreciate.
I don't want to disappoint the devs as they are working very hard, gr8 & nice jobs. I only want my phone stable in terms of above mentioned requirement. As everybody like new things I also like the new JB or ICS updates but without compromising my requirement.
Giving Very Very Thanks to all who will reply and read my desires. And I will appreciate if anybody can suggest me the rom which fulfill my desire.
Once Again Thank You Very much.

Take a look at this ROM.
Almost double the benchmark of a stock ROM and reliable for daily use (on my gf's phone) with up to 3 days per battery charge.
Seems good one. But is this one has all share play apps? Or is there any other option for that if u know?
Thanks

Wait for Mine's release
Since I have gotten this phone I have noticed an influx of complaints about how slow and laggy this phone is due to it's low RAM. I too have experienced these same issues as everyone else. After using the Galaxy S 3 since July it was hard not treating this phone like it was a power house. Well this phone obviously isn't, and as Android OS and Apps are advancing the slower this phone is going to seem. Remembering what life was like when I had the Samsung Intercept on Virgin Mobile I was able to get some what of a buttery experience with this phone. So I am just going to share my set up and what I am doing, and other's may share their experience. My hopes is that we can all learn what to do and what not to do and somewhere in between. I am no expert and do hope to learn some pointers from people more experiences and more qualified than me
#1 I am using a light weight rom, slim bean 4.1 to be exact I am sure any rom will do, but with this phone I would assume less is more in terms of performance. Also play around see what works best for you, ,GB, ICS, JB4.1, JB4.2. There is no best rom just best rom for you. Once you find one that works for you golden!
#2 Since I am using Jellybean I went into developers options(to enable go to about phone and tap build number 7 times) and I set the background process limit to 4. My reasoning is I dont' want to forfeit multi tasking all together but it's very apparent that this phone can only handle so much. You can also set it "don't keep activies" which wont allow any multi tasking like old school iOS.
#3 I use Android built in task manager to exit out of applications I am using quite frequently. If you hold the home button for an extended period of time the task manager will appear. (maybe different depending on which rom you use)
#3 don't overload this phone with apps, not only do we have limited storage for apps, but the more apps that run in the back ground the slower that it takes. What I did is many apps are basically short cuts to website for instance bank of america. What I did was in the stock browser I bookmarked the website, and then made a short cut to my desktop. I also changed icon to something similar to what the app icon would look like. Not all launchers support changing the icon. I did the same with facebook as it is often runing in the background. If you don't use Navigation uninstalling google maps might be a good idea. If you play games delete all processes before and after playing
#4 A lot of games take up a lot of resources so if you must play games especially one that uses a lot of power than maybe a good idea to delete processes before and after game usage. If the game(or any app for that matter) is constantly freezing than perhaps you should just delete it.
#5 don't use a launcher that takes up a lot of memory, the lighter the better. Stock launcher is probably a safe bet. I use Espire launher(iOS launcher), I know Atom would also be a good one. Stay away from any 3D launcher anything with eye candy imo is bad idea. In my experience Go Laucher, mihome, Launcher7/8 are memory hogs, I mean if they slowed down my old GS3 just imagine our phone. Although with Launher 7/8 If you were disable the live tiles it may run smoother. My opinion though is what's the point. The live tile's is the reason what attracted me to those launchers in the past. In the end just use what works for you
#6 If the phone starts acting up go ahead and reboot,
#7 If using a rom that supports theme's try not to use them, often times I have run into many so called bugs that magically disapeared when reverting back to system theme. Right now I am using xperia cm10.1 and so far no issue's what so ever
#8 I disabled Google Now, my experience has shown me that our phones aren't capable of handling it. Google now is constantly running in the back ground and I suspect causing the phone to slow down, freeze, or just randomly reboot.
#9 I do not use live wallpaper, nor do I use any widgets. I love widgets and depending on the widget may not use any extra resources. That being said for me on this phone I would rather be safe than sorry
#10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
This has improved my phone greatly. Make sure your ROM meets the requirements and doesn't have any tweaks.
Using these methods I get decent performance, and battery life. This is no GS3 so I believe to get the most out of this phone you really have baby it to get the most out of it. I believe the issue is with how little Ram this phone has. I have had the HTC Mytouch 4g and I never had this issue. The MT4G also had almost a gig of Ram. I don't believe it's the processer as there are many 1GHZ single core processing phones that do not have the FC/Freezing issues we have.
Try CM7
I have been using Slimbean 4.1 and 4.2 too for the past few weeks and I have experienced frequent lag spikes when multitasking which sometimes drived me crazy. Recently, my phone was stuck in a bootloop while I was out of town so I had to flash CM7 and I was surprised at how buttery it felt. Overall, I really like the performance (although I do miss some features of JB) and I strongly advise you to try it out.

Smartguy used TWRP and says it works just fine. Just make a nandroid as always in case you have an issue, I don't think you will though. Just be sure to disable any task killers if you use them.

Hi all,
It's been a while since I joined the modding fray - my last attempts were with the ZTE Blade a couple of years ago!
My fiancée owns an HTC Desire C but finds it to be really slow. I initially tried installing a custom launcher, but this had barely any effect.
What's the best option here? Do I just install a kernel and overclock, or should I consider a custom rom? If so - whats fastest and most stable? This is a one time thing - I plan on abducting the phone and having a tweak, but won't be allowed to swap rooms and things repeatedly, so I need to get it right the first time!!!!
Thanks
Flash CM10 (there are sam bugs , like wifi hotspot but its fastest) and nope/prometheus kernel... and some tweaks like superboost and adrenaline engine
... just do all steps

Im sorry but sense is by far not as fast as CM10.
There is no such thing as "the best rom" but according to the benchmarks and clock potential, CM10 beats sense.
So any rom that is CM10 based is good.
I agree. I had barely done any modding but the leap in speed and ease of use really makes flashing a cm10 variant worth it.
Best ROM threads are not allowed. Try out the roms and use the one that suits your needs best
