One of my friends wants me to root and flash a new rom to their Note but I have no idea which rom (ICS or GB) is the best.
Now before anyone flames me I just want to ask your opinions on the latest developments. Clearly I am asking for opinions. I also do not currently have this device.

Rocket gb is the most stable.
All GB Roms are very stable, and you won't go wrong if you flash any of them.
OTOH, ICS is not so stable and requires high user maintenance and fixing. I'd stay away from early ICS releases if I were you.

Cool thanks. Any recommended Rom aside from the one mentioned before as in what makes you go to it. I do understand about AOSP Roms and how unstable they can be in the beginning. Also is anyone planning to port CM9 to the note?

Maui is one taking care of CM9 port.. as of now there is no official leak yet. so once the leak is out then the development ll begin and the ROM ll be in hands soon.

Well, basically there are two types of custom GB roms ATM.
1. Light ones (much of the Samsung and other crapware removed)
They are fast and battery efficient. Some users don't like them because of the missing features. I prefer them, though: anything you need can be installed after flashing.
The light Roms are
Cassie's XL
Chrack's Small
2. Full Roms containg almost everything a stock Rom has
These Roms are somewhat (but not much) slower than the light ones, and their batter life can be slightly shorter if you do not monitor what your multitude of apps is doing behind your back, if you get my drift.
You'll find a full list of Note Roms with links here:

As I said before this isn't for me I personally don't have a note but am doing this for a friend and I know aosp ics is a little too unstable on anything for me to flash it to a device that I don't own. So that being said I will probably stick with gb unless they really want ics.

If your friend doesn't even know how to root and flash, then advise him/her that ICS is not the way to go. Otherwise you'll get bugged to death with requests to fix this and that.

Ya like i said not my Note so i dont wanna experiment. Not to say i havent thought about Miui. I do however need something as rock solid as possible.
To be truthful both of your notes are bigger than mine coz i dont have one.
That being said my transformer does run CM9 and Cornerstone.

I know someone who doesn't want to mess around with CWM and rooting, just wants to flash a good ROM without TouchWiz. I couldn't find a ROM in the Android Development subforum that was both Odin-flashable and TouchWiz-free. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks
Only rom free of TW is CyanogenMOD. The others just replace the launcher but TW is still running in the background.
OK, thanks. Too bad the SGS isn't really supported yet.

Hi, just got my Note today, going to root it soon... I've been reading about unsafe kernels in ics roms, are any ics roms safe to flash? If so, which ones?
Any help is appreciated, thanks
Its my belief that cyangonmod 9 experimental builds do not use a leaked kernel and are therefore safe. I'm using now and build 3 is awesome. You need to save a file to a certain directory, can't remember which one, for video to work. But is a simple fix.

If u can wait the official ics it will be better man,and u have many things to try in ur note untill then,other wise play safe and read all posts throughly before flashing, congratulation on ur new note too

OK so if your new to flashing then I would advice you to stay away from cs for now and just read the basics for a couple of weeks (its what I did) .
And after you have fully understood how to flash using PC Odin ,mobile Odin
Learnt how to root ,install CWM and use it then be my guest.
The only safe and easy to flash ICS ROM is CM9 ,but you have to flash it per instructions and from properly rooted GB ROM.
I hope that helped
Welcome to the note
Thanks for the replies, definitely not new to android and flashing. Rooted and installed cm9, didn't like it so reverted back to stock rooted.
Thanks again

I totally agree! His .19 rom is the best rom I've used as well! If it weren't for the faulty kernel I might not even go through the trouble of flashing the official ICS rom when it will be released. Now I'm back on GB and it's still the best experience I've ever had on a smartphone but ICS is just the cherry on top.
I can't wait for the official ICS release so Stunner can do his magic with a non-faulty kernel.
Okay guys I know alot of people ask this but im new to this version of the Galaxy Note....I Started with an Epic 4gt and Move to the ATT version of the Note and went to the HTC one X...now im back on the Note with this Version...So I been reading and gaining my knowlegde up and wanted to know which roms yall thinks is best....Thanks in advance for any replies...

As much as I love CM9 and AOKP from my Captivate days, at this moment in time, I cannot recommend them over "regular" ICS Roms.
Performance from my most recent test is still behind ICS not to mention missing features like MHL.
I currently prefer this:

As soon as CM9/AOKP gets there, then I am of course moving to those as I expect them to be just as good as they were on my Captivate

I prefer the paranoid android rom. It's the best thing that I have ever run on my note.
if you like the stock Gingerbread launcher then stock ICS for the note is great for you.
ofcoarse you can put different launchers i had Apex on the UK ICS release and it was very awsome but.. not as smooth as how Apex runs on CM9
And if you use the SPen functionality which i really..as hard as i want i cant really see my self in using theres an app that functions very much the same as SMemo..
is just called memo just check the Themes and Apps section.
it is pen sensitive is amazing..as good as the SMemo so really..no more missing that extra 1% functionality
also another reason why cm9 is that much better is that...
4.0.4 as oppose to Samsungs 4.0.3
i cant recommend enough..
but make sure if you're coming to either one stock or custom i recommend
for stock UK ICS
and custom CM9
make sure to follow the instructions for installing CM9 ..as you need to revert to a rootable GB rom (2.3.5) and root from there and install CM9 from there..
so read read and..after that read more the install instructions
OP, I don't think you've given us a shred of info about what would make a good ROM for you.

I was on almost-stock GB for a long time and never really used S Memo.
For me, the S-Pen is a great tool for illustration, but to take quick notes I still much prefer to type everything instead.
As such, CM9 and any of its derivatives for me (currently Paranoid Android).
Have to agree, tried all kinds of roms gb and ics, stock to modded, but the best thing I have come across is paranoid android.

Paranoid Android will always top the chart for me
I love the smoothness in Tablet mode! While accessing Citrix from Tablet mode, everything seems to be in place and perfect zoom! Whilst on phone mode I struggle to read my applications..
+1 for Paranoid Android!
I'm currently running KingDroid. This has the new Touchwiz 5.0/SIII look, which in my opinion is much better looking than the old.
The KingDroid also got all of the S Memo/ S Planner apps.

i prefer the stock germany gb LC1, a lot more stable than the funny sammy ICS.
So I have seen in my cell a few friends, GN2 and S3, the Omega ROM and it really is very good, but anyway ...
wanted to know if the developer could not bear this ROM to our N7000
It's a great need, we have several good ROMs but sin in many battery
Anyway, if you can be a great pleasure and be a success!
Hug!

Why not asking the original dev?
Omega is also just based on note 2 and s3 stock roms with some mods and tweaks...so what you wanna get ported?
You can port it, but it'd be a lot easier to port whatever features you want to an XXLSC ROM.

Ok...But...Why?
The Hardware platform is the same with note 2, except the CPU (same model, quad-core capability) and the micro-sd capacity.
I agree that there could be some minor differences in the platform in order to support quad-core capability, but this should not held us back.
Just like Windows...they work with all kinds of prosessors. You just need different motherboard.
And -in this case- the motherboard is present. :good:

You are using the wrong word: "us".
If you are interested to try a Custom Rom that wasn't made for the N7000, try it.
But I repeat what eybee said before: Omega is a modded/tweaked stock Rom. Nothing special. So search for a good Custom Rom here where you can be sure that it works on a N7000.

I don't think that a rom that has so much positive 5-star ratings throughout the whole community is something typical.
"Nothing special" is your opinion only.
Let me remind you that N7000 has an ICS rom on board, by default.
So, if you think more closely you will see that even a "stock" JB rom (only the best one admittedly) is much better than its stock rom.
I've been using different JB roms on my N7000, and personally I've seen nothing better than Omega, on N7100.
Of Course I will try it! I'm sure it will work like a charm!

The original note is actually more similar to the I9100 than the note 2, I would suggest that you wait for omega rom for the galaxy s2 to stabilize (it's already pretty stable,only messaging is problematic) and then request for a port from indie themselves

Thanks to all who responded! But not wanting to antagonize already used the OMEGA ROM and it is not only not tweaks. Have you looked at the build.prop and init.d and it has nothing much different, it's a "miracle" that the dev does kkkkkkk

Is there a Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread 2.3.7) for N7000?

Hi victorator,
If you can pull this off mate, you will be a LEGEND!!!!
I too am after summit like this, and I have trailled all over the forums trying to find ANY kind of GB rom that I can flash/install via CWM.
But so far all the links are either dead, or point towards viruses now!!!
If you can make a clean CM7, or know any decent GB roms that I can look into and rip parts of the TW out... that would be AMAZING!!!!
Good luck, really hoping you can do this!!!
Cheers, Lister
Good luck mate !
I'd love to see CM7 on Note and remind old gingerbread times
Good luck! Hope you'll make it!

Hi @victorator,
Is there any development, news on this pure CM7 rom for our Note's???
I know your working hard on newer roms, but would be cool to have a retro rom too.. Especially as I gained my Note later on, so missed out on all the Gingerbread roms... and having loved CM7 on my ZTE Blade. Would be cool to see what its like on N7000 too...
Good luck, hope all is well...

Hey man,
I'm sorry but I don't think I will be able to get CM7 running. Back in the day CM used a prebuilt kernel file. That's why I won't be able to compile it myself as they haven't put out the kernel for it.
I would love to give CM7 a go on the note as well but I don't have enough knowledge on the subject to get it to work.
Hi All,
Still think this would be an awesome feat, if ever it did come to our Notes. Sure it's old, sure... No one will prolly use it much afterwards anyway...
But heck, a lot of us grew up on what was the first main CM build (excluding CM6?? lol) aka, CM7 (Gingerbread).
Does anyone have the skills to help @victorator or others, get past the kernel issue and help build a CM7 rom. Apparently (although cannot confirm myself) that the S2 phone had a CM7, and "apparently" similar hardware...
Anyone got the know-how, to make this happen....??
Thanks, Lister
Main thing would be the kernel
