[Q] What ROM for ICS / i9000?

Hi,
which ROM can you recommend? I'm on DarkyRom 10.4.2 and want to change to ICS.
Is there any ROM contains tun.ko module for using openvpn or anyconnect? I can't find any information about this.

Hey,
There are so many ICS roms you can try from, we've really got great developers for our device.
My current favorite is ICS333:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618757
It's really stable and everything works!! There's even a guide to install it on the general section.. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
tun modules are supported by the kernel. ICS333 comes with semaphore kernel by default, which supports tun modules.. You could check and ask more on the ics semaphore thread in the development section..

For me there are only a few good ICS Roms.
The best ist Dark Knight 3.
But if you want a really stable and fast System, don`t take an ICS Rom. Take a jvt, jvr or jvz custom rom. My favorite is Tornado.

Thanks for you answer.
I've looked at many ROMS but the decision is difficult. My favorite after reading the different thread is SLIM ICS. But I'll now have a look at ICS333.
Should I use nandroid to make a backup before trying any ROM?

Hey, try the roms you like and choose the one you like the most!
Yeah, making a nandroid backup would be a good idea. Although don't restore your GB Titanium backup on ICS, it will create issues.
Cheers!!

Sadly yes.. There's no other way that i know of.. else you'll have FCs on every app..

You should EVER install without settings if you change your base!
Try ICS out. I tested several ICS Roms but for me ICS on Galaxy1 is only to see, what is ICS.
I`m back to GB with Galaxy1, Galaxy Note and Iconia A500.

What are your reasons to go back? Was it not stable enough, or battery drain?

For now the CM9 nighltlies are working fine for me no issue.the battery is also fine runs for around 12-15 hours moderate to high use with semaphore kernel 1.1.1s.i tried a DOCMaster's rom also it also great...SLIM ICS is also good but if you are new to flashing you will have some difficulties in it since the dpi is 182 in it and some market apps wont be compatible.Onecosmic was great but since there is no new development i wont recommend it.For now CM9 with Semaphore kernel.Waiting for Gamerzrom with ICS

Exactly what i tought about ICS, until i gave TWICS a try.
I'm on TWICS 2.5, its fast, Battery fine (like Stock JVT) , no FCs., no Lags (after switching from TW4 to Apex launcher).
I use my phone mostly for calls,SMS and a little Tapatalk, no Facebook.
Don't get Faceunlock working, maybe a Face problem *g*, i don't care.
Thats my experience, other user reports some problems with Battery life, check the TWICS-Thread.

Hi!
With ALL ICS Roms on all devices i got a worse Benchscore on QS, Antutu, CF Bench and Vellamo. The "feeling" is even slower too. ALL Roms are buggy. Nice to see what is ICS and nice for flashaholics like me, but nothing for stable daily use. DK 3 is ok- no battery drain- but bugs too. The DK 4 and 5 is poor and DK 5.5 ok but slower than 3 and GB.

You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
ICS is perfectly suitable for daily use on your phone. Not only is it smoother than GB, it looks better. And there aren't really any bugs. None that you'll see with normal use. It's perfectly stable.
Pick a ROM, any ROM. SlimICS is great; Dark Knight seems popular; CM9 and AOKP work wonders. Take your pick and never look back to the past that was Gingerbread.

I think CM9 is the best. I definitely recommend ICS as it has hardware acceleration and is sooo fast!

There's nothing like ICS isn't stable.. There are loads of roms to choose from.. I'm on ICS 333 for a week now and i haven't faced any bugs, lag or fc..
Everyone has their own views.. I think the best option is to try it out on your own n make your choice.. If you like ICS, great! If not, you can always switch back using a nandroid backup..
Enjoy!!

DO you know if the kernel contains tun.ko for using openvpn / anyconnect?

Doesn't matter, just flash Semaphore. It does. And it's one of the top ICS kernels.

The original release of Samsung Galaxy S [GT-I9000] has come a long way and still powerful enough to accommodate the latest Android release - Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x.
Read my article here:
https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...dwich-4-0-x-for-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.83/

Sorry, but not my view to ICS.
Since today I got the official german ICS for Galaxy Note and now i know, WHY there is no really good ICS Custom Rom for any device!
ICS is the future? LOL
Only on 5 percent of android devices, months later as planned and in a few month jellybean release.

I suggest Elite GTi9000_IMM76K_RC_1.2

[Q] What mod?

The Galaxy Note is my first Android device, after enjoying a couple of years with the absolute freedom of Maemo. It was a sad day when Nokia decided to ditch MeeGo, and go for Windows Mobile. And a couple of months ago my dearest N900 decided to call it a day.
Now I think I had enough of the Stock installation from Samsung (after flashing the German Stock ICS).
Yesterday I flashed Criskelo, and it was an OK experience, but not quite what I was looking for.
My wishlist for a ROM:
1. SNote, SPlanner and the E-Mail app from stock.
2. Focus on speed and battery.
3. As minimalistic as possible (Drop all the eye-candy)
Now for the question: Which MOD is matching my criterias, or atleast as close as possible?
And yes, I have read page up and page down in the Dev-section, but a lot of the ROM's have a content-list which is very incomplete. So I'm asking you, who have been using mods for some time, and perhaps have been trying a lot of them.
And in light of the possible LPY-bug, which might have caused a couple of hardbricks (Or was it just 1 hardbrick?), I rather not flash through all of the mods.

Hi
Ok, im not recommending this rom just because im using it. I have tried all kinda roms around and finally im using Darky Rom for like few months now and it works great.
For galaxy note current stable rom is :
Build : DarkyROM_Note v 3.4.1 Extreme Edition
Kernel : NoteCore 0.1
but the only thing is it runs n android 2.3.6. ICS rom is still under development. Their kernal is in-house developed and most of the thunderbolt scripts removed. Battery life is way too great. 24hrs connected 2G network and my battery lasts 1day 6hrs+
give it a try. u wont regret..

[Q] Which is the most stable Custom ROM?

Hi Guys! I am a bit lost here due to the number of ROMS available for this device.
My mom owns this phone, and she would love to get an update for her phone. She currently runs stock, and I was wondering which custom ROM do you think would be most stable.
It doesn't have to be the best. The most important part is the stability of the ROM. My mom is nowhere near techy. She even gets lost in Facebook. So I don't want to complicate things for her during her use. She needs a custom rom with memory managment but stable. ICS would be great and all, but she can stay in Gingerbread if that is the only stable ROM available.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! Have a great day ahead!

Well if your mom is not all that techie then don't make a leap to a custom rom, the only 100% fully stable rom is the stock one right now. If you want, root the phone for her. If she wants an ICS look install Holo Launcher and get some ICS wallpapers, that is the best you can get to making the phone ICS-like.
But as for your question, the most stable are these:
1. Stocklite v7.1 (Closest thing to stock, but better because it gets rid of the Samsung bloatware.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703094
2. Apocalypse ROM (CM 7.2 based for best perfromance i.e. faster gps locks, better memory optimization etc, but you will take a battery hit, not a lot but battery drain will be higher here)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749
I've used both of these roms for months on end and they never game me any problems, so you are safe with anyone you choose.
Happy Flashing.

I came across the Apocalypse ROM in my search. It looked promising. Nice to know a confirmation from a user. Thank you very much!
Hopefully I won't have to keep maintaining the phone for her. I am used to having my data backed up and wiped, then restored, but she doesn't like the whole flashing cycle.
Thanks again! I will proceed with the installation tonight.

Most Stable ICS Rom
Hi Pals, which would be the most stable ICS Rom out here.
Please help me, i am new to this forum.

Myth 2 for me hands down + INT2EXT+ = best thing to happen to your Ace.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I went ahead with apocalypse for now, but when the ICS or JB builds get more stable, I might offer her another update. For now she is really happy with it.

i think for stable custom rom, you can choose :
- apocalypse
- droidace V2
- Miracle V4
but if you want something different, you can choose new MIUIXXX rom, im still using it n i love it..

I agree with him, use the MIUI GB ROM MIUIXXX. It is really smooth and stable + it has free themes like Vapor Ice online.

Really? I haven't tried any MIUI build before. As far as I know, they were built to imitate the iOS with now app dock, right?

Hello, I recommend an old and good CM7.2fat and CM7.2 democracy, now I'm on android 4.0.4 CM9 from maclaw and also I'm happy.
CM7.2 fat is rather most stable of these have given.

Hey try adrenaline final, its the simple and best ROM you can find, give a try. You would like it.

[Q] Most stable and fast current ROM

Yes, I know that this subject has been beaten to death, but ONE more time:
Can anyone recommend a STABLE and FAST ROM for Galaxy Note?
I am totally disappointed with the JB stock ROMs in terms of speed. I've also been trying CM9 and CM10 at various stages, byt IMO CM is nowadays buggy as hell... gone are the good old days when Cyanogen was still in charge(?)
I tried PA some time ago, but it was a bit buggy too. I'm a bit curious about it however... maybe it's more stable now? I'd also prefer decent support for the stylus.

Alliance ROM maybe..but in terms of this questions!!people's mind are not identical . this is like asking which girl is the Best one for a permanent
girlfriend!!!be a man .go out there and explore the ROMs and from there u might be able to see for urself ^

Totally interested too!
I'm now on latest MIUI however my wife's Iphone 4S is still faster, smoother and stable...
And those who tell 'go and try' - i've already tried 4 custom roms and 3 custom kernels and i'm sick and tired of restoring data every time after those tries.
So if you can really suggest a good, fast and stable custom rom for daily use - please do.

Sorry, dude, was even unable to install this ROM - tried twice but no luck.
Setup started normally 2 times and then quit suddenly - kicked out of CWM.
It's so weird that they have the only option of ROM install via ROM Customizer (no CWM zip support).
Ended up with clean install of the Ultimate JB v5.2 ROM - will try and see how it goes.

have you tried here? - http://galaxynote.roms-db.com/
excellent selection of quality ROMs for you to try, depending on your preference / needs. there are no bad or "buggy" ROMs imho, it's just a matter of personal preference. CM10.1 with Dynamic screen mode, forced GPU and all animations switched off is perfect for me. But that's only my opinion

[q] i9001 - Giving phone away to friend, need stable ROM

Hey guys - I'm about to give my i9001 away having just got a Nexus 4. In the meantime I've been having stability issues with this rom (ivendor cm10.1) - regular shutdowns that require removing and replacing the battery to fix, and various freezing issues.
So I'm looking for a very stable, very polished, simple ROM to put on before I give it away to someone who's a pretty good friend. Something CM based would be grand, and GB based is fine if those are the most stable (and she's used to GB). Any ideas?
After that I guess I'll be signing out of this area - you've all been a great help and I'm sure I would have dumped the phone long ago without you!

Oh, ok . Sorry, wasn't thinking straight, still can't. Sick . But yea, he can also try broodROM GB or ICS if he wants. FOr me JB is stable. but I guess it's diffrent for everybody, I don't use my phone that much now because I'm very busy with school and whatnot. But in the end it's up to him. I would recomend GB anyway, cuz she is use to it, and it is blazing fast.
