I've went back to latest official ROM, 2.3.3 JVH NEE, released in Sweden by Samsung because I got tired to always hunt for the perfekt kernel and the perfect ROM.
Now I know why I started looking for other ROM's.. It's lags when playing musik via Spotify while you surf the net, slow over all respons in UI, I know it's slow due to RFS and I've converted to EXT4, but I'm not fully satisfied.
I want a as near STOCK ROM att possible and stable as original (Yes, the latest Swedish ROM, 2.3.3 JVH, is the most stable ROM I've used and got the best battery time, even tho it's slow.).
Does you know of any ROM that meet these requirements? I would like to not feel the difference if I rebooted my phone yesterday or two weeks ago.

I would recommend you to try SAUROM JVU ROM. It's almost close to stock with huge loads of modifications integrated.
Yes, I would also go for SAUROM if it comes for a close to stock GB ROM. One of the benefits it has over many other Samsung-based ROMs is the integration of JKAY Mod that allows you to customize status bar buttons and power menu. Plus in the newest version it has some handy quick link buttons in the notification drawer.
Thank you guys, I'll take a look at Saurom.
___SAUROM___
I've also tried so many diff ROMs.
All I really wanted is nice working stock ROM.
Tried so many. Did not try SAUROM, cause this is a new one, but tried many SAUROM like. I mean ROMS, that claim that they are just like the stock, but better.
CM was fine, but it was also very complicated. And had some bugs.
Really stupid. I could not sync with google e.g.
Finally I ended up with MIUI. Surprisingly for myself.
Clean, nice, fast, easy swype customization and install.
Here are some screens:
http://db.tt/0gh5gInG
MIUI+Go launcher
It works fast, no lags, no freezes, nothing bad.
GSM works fine, GPS is super fast and accurate, battery is OK.
Finally I don't need to tweak my phone any more.

MIUI & Cyanogen are the real custom ROMS. All the rest are stock-based with tweaks and customization. Saurom is highly customizable compared to the other stock based. But if this doesn't matter to you, you can try Darky's latest ROM from his website. I currently use MIUI Rom, you can try the MINTBerry edition (Which I use ), available on the forum. And I would go for Saurom regarding stock based. Good Luck.

Nightly build still updated, real AOSP, less lag than stock, massive possibilities for customizations.
I've had JVH for some time, later JVU, now latest CM7.2 RC0 with CM7 kernel.
Changed to JVO modem (siky_dude has links to many flashable modems) to fix Hello-Hello-Bug. Better than JVK modem.
T9 dialer, better UI translation than JVU even for Norwegian, native keyboard support nor. + swe. + +
Don't flash each nightly (stress battery time?) but check changelog for interesting fixes. Most of the fixes are not even notable in every day use. Flashing new nightly WILL keep ALL settings, market apps, sms, data... Just clear cache/dalvik/prior flashing, fix permission post flashing.
BTW: ALL ROMs have some lag

Thanks for all your support.
I'll try MIUI first(http://roms.miui.us/2.2.17/MIUI.us_galaxysmtd_2.2.17_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip), never tried it but heard mutch about it.
Btw. Tried both the f1 and surface (like f1). Managed to **** up each in less than 2 weeks. Darky ROM was easy. Destroyed it in one week
but probably it is my party doing something really wrong.

MIUI Mintberry 2.2.17 Close to perfection. No... definitely not. It is perfect.
I've been using the MIUI mintberry for a few weeks and it's so frickin' amazing. First impression was "oh this is beautiful" then i noticed it was fast. Few days passed and the battery life seemed great. I did some benchmarks and surprised by the results.
I would highly recommend for you to try that one!

I'd go for DarkyRom... It worked pretty well for me, bur then I discovered MIUI Roms and they are much better!!
DarkyRom isnt a fully custom Rom. Its a stock samsung edited. There are only 2 custom gb roms. MIUI and Cyanogenmod7 and they run much faster ofcourse. Im a CM fan either way

Hi, fellow Noters!
I have the N7000 Note, with stock GB ROM installed and only rooted, flashed with abyss kernel.
I am in the UK, so I am considering updating/upgrading to ICS... Now, from most of the posts here I gather that most of custom ICS ROMs aren't yet the most stable and people who installed the official ICS have mixed reactions...
Don't get me wrong- I am completely satisfied with my Note and the functionality of the apps as it is, but was just wondering how much improvement would I see, if I installed ICS...
Also, if I want to install official ICS ROM, do I need to unroot first and then flash it with ICS, or just straight on?
Thanks and enjoy the weekend!
Ics is suffing from the brickbug for now, that is not to mention other issues such as baterry drain. So if you are still satiafied with gb then should hold on unrik tge brixk bug is cleared. Cheers.

If you want to do an update ics stock , you have to flash with odin 1.85 the rom that you prefere..... it is not necessary performing unroot...
I'm still running GB as it's running great. Nothing really worth upgrading to ICS.

Stay with GB. If you desperately wants ICS then flash CM9 or PA.
If you want to stay on a Touchwiz rom, then it may be better to stick with Gingerbread as it has less bugs that the TW ICS counterparts. However I would thoroughly recommend AOKP or CyanogenMod 9 if you truly want ICS; it has almost all features fully working (including camera, tethering and full access to all storage) and are both extremely light and quick. Plus both support themeing and have a wealth of customization options.
As for the brick bug, that has been almost eradicated IF you use a safe kernel such as Speed mod 3.3. Of course the worry is non existent on AOSP roms.

Right... Thanks guys for your input!
I am in no rush to get to ICS, as pretty much all the visual stuff can be achieved through some extra launchers and themes while still staying with stock GB ROM.
I am pretty much happy with TouchWizz, but find the Go launcher a bit more faster and easier to use. I go to TW only when I need S Memo and that stuff from the suite...
so, until the bug in the official ICS ROM is fixed, or a very stable custom ICS ROM made, I will stick with GB...

I also sometimes mistype words and it is annoying when the result is actually a proper word, so it completely can confuse the recipient of the SMS, for instance...
I wonder if there are alternatives to the current ordering of letters on keyboards, you know-instead of ASDF-JKLsomething...
yeah.. typing on the note.
using GB keyboard with autospell ..
messes me up alot,cause I rarely proofread.
I Still would like to install the safe Cynamiod 9 and speed mod 33 if someone could walk me thru it.
thanks
I just rooted a friend's phone and was wondering what would you recommend me. He doesn't know how to change ROMs so I am looking for something rock stable, close to stock, nothing fancy, just something that works without any problems.
It depends on what type of experience you want. Are you looking to alleviate some of the issues that plagued the stock ROM with its poor I/O response time? What is your reason for replacing stock if you want something similar to stock?
CM7 or CM10 are both good ROMs; CM7 significantly improves the performance over stock, it has the same UI as Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread and it had extra (useful) features.
CM10 is out of alpha now (I think) and provides the latest Android experience, similar to what you would get on a new phone. ICS/JB was a significant redesign over the ROM that was stock for SGS.
I'm not satisfied with CM ROMs, I ran them on both my HTC Desire and Nexus S and they didn't feel smooth. I want something stock with basic root settings.
The reason he wanted a custom ROM was because his phone was heating much and rebooted.
I would say Slim ICS with the setup on my sig.. first ICS rom ive been using after GB and just loving it, VERY stable and smooth, Only downside that pop ups on my mindd right now is you cant record 720p video if you want more RAM with the bigmem patch enabled.. BUT thats only IF you want it enabled

As far as I am concerned, the ICS and JB ROMs are not feature-complete enough to run as a daily driver yet.
I really like Minimoto myself (it's in the developer forum here.) Others that are feature-complete and run well are Maverick 4.0 and 4.5, Steel Droid 4.8, as well as Liberty 2.0. The issue with Liberty, and it's a minor one, is that it is not based on the latest 5.7.906 firmware. Otherwise, I think it runs well.
I really think it's best to install custom ROMs with Safestrap. The latest version of Safestrap is 3.0.5, which is listed as beta and has the occasional annoyance of not starting up when you want it to (it usually does if you keep at it, or start the phone while holding the "M" key, using VolDn to scroll down to "BP Tools" in the menu that pops up, and VolUp to select that option.) Also, if you do want to try Liberty, it will not start in Safestrap 3.0.5, so you'll have to use version 2.10 instead.
There are some JB ROMs to try from Hashcode that require Safestrap 2.10 or 3.05, but I haven't tried them myself.
Safestrap: http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/
steel droid 5.6 works well
---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------
I've been running AOKP JB, with the new sensors update,
works well, but no camera,
with safestrap, camera is only a reboot away
Liberty is the most stable ROM I've seen yet. Minimoto is very nice though and is very stable but has the best battery life of any ROM around.
+1 for Minimoto, so far one of the best stable stock based roms I've used. With alot of useful features and tweaks.

Yep really liking it so far. Just a few tweaks from being the fastest/best battery life rom out there
Minimoto
Minimoto is the most stable rom I have used that maintains custom features
thanks guys ill definitely look into these, i like stock it isnt a bad system i just like ics a lot better lol
My vote is for MiniMoto. I replaced stock with it and have not looked back. Stable and easy on the battery, super fast, super smooth, the launcher is my favorite, no need for Supercharge, just WOW.

Are the GB-based ROMS better than the ICS/JB-based ROMs in terms of general performance (responsiveness to touch, lag, etc..)? I tried the CM10 ROM and its performance was even worse than CM10 on a Samsung Galaxy S

Minimoto does good but the reason why is the governor is set to performance on CPU0 but not CPU1. But I'm not complaining.
This is another variant of those best rom threads - I forsee an argument coming up soon !
Op better realise that your query is highly subjective !
Thread closed. Best/most stable ROM threads aren't allowed as they're too subjective, you'll receive lots of differing opinions on the same thing. Only way is to try yourself and find the one that fits you best as that's what these forums are about.
Thanks AvRS.
From what I read from other threads, it appears that the ICS and JB roms are quite stable enough as a daily driver. I have a few questions regarding these Roms. I'm still running the Apex rom which is an i9000 stock based rom on 2.3.6 for the past year or so. It has been working very well for me. I'm kinda inching to running a JB or ICS rom because of some apps wouldn't run on anything less than ICS or JB.
1. My main concern that stopped me from running ICS or JB is the EU bug. What are the chances of one who never had it before to get it?
2. I know Adobe stopped providing flash support for JB, so now because I'll be running a custom rom, will there be flash support on those roms?
3. The state of 4.2.1 appears to still be in beta for most roms, so I would assume 4.1.2 is more stable than the former, but I would like to know how does 4.1.2 compare with 4.0.4 in terms of stability?
4. I've ran CM7.1 before which was an AOSP rom, but I experienced really bad battery problems. I've tried it a few times, and nothing works to solve it, so I always end up going back to the APex Rom. Because the JB and ICS roms are AOSP-based, how would these roms compare with the stock based roms and CM7 in terms of battery life?
I really want to be sure I want to flash JB or ICS. I would like to breathe some new life into my 2.5 year old phone, but just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into first.
Thanks in advance.

1. To my knowledge the EU bug is only present on ICS ROMs. I encountered it once and had read enough about it that I didn't hit the reset phone button. I went back into recovery and flashed back to jellybean with no permanent harm.
2. I haven't paid much attention to this so potentially yes and no.
3. 4.2.1 is actually pretty stable but is lacking some features that people already running custom JB ROMs have come to rely on. But yes for a fully functional and stable ROM I would suggest avoiding 4.2.1 for the time being.
4. In my opinion battery life is improved over gingerbread no matter what ROM you're running. Of course battery life is a subjective thing. I've seen screenshots where someone had their battery last 2 days on so and so rom. But that person likely didn't touch the phone the majority of those 2 days.
All in all I would suggest you go with jellybean 4.1.2 as they are very stable and honestly smoother and more responsive than ICS.
A couple things before you flash though. First make a backup of your efs folder. You'll thank me later if you end up needing it. Secondly going from where you are to where you want to end up is a major jump in software versions which includes a partition layout change specifically if you are going to Jellybean. So the first time you flash the ROM the flash will complete very quickly(less than 5 seconds). If you try to boot after that flash you'll get stuck in a boot loop. Don't worry though just reboot back into recovery which should have updated with the first flash. Then just flash the ROM again as well as the gapps and you'll be golden.

Yes, flash it still supported. Just not needed by adobe.
Battery problem can come from so many things and usually is user based. We use apps like BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down though.
As for 4.1.2 and 4.2.1. I would highly suggest 4.1.2 for now until 4.2.2 comes out.
agree with BWolf56,
I've running CM10.0 stable release, JB 4.1.2, and have found it to be more stable, smoother, and reliable than stock GB with Corn 7 kernel.
I was also concerned about EU bug.
I couldn't find any evidence than anyone had experienced the EU bug on JB.
Skip ICS and go for it!
