[Q] Best GB ROM for N7000 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please participate in this poll.
Which is the best ROM & Kernel for N7000 ?
Please describe based on the following ....
a) Battery Drain - Based on usage
b) How many ROMS's have you tried ??
c) What are the issues with Best ROM & Kernel ??
d) You too confused to choose the GB ROM ? Watch the Thread.
I havent personally chosen ICS coz all ROMS are in Beta Stage. I would love AOSP but for Spen Samsung apps.
I like CheckROM personally due to simplicity and Stock ROM stability. But would really love to hear from all you guys.
I have missed Cassie's Xtralite ROM, Rocket GB ROM . Please message me if you like it. Couldn't edit the poll.
LOOKS LIKE IN CUSTOM ROMS CHECKROM AND DARKYROM with Franco Kernel is Leading the Poll.

I'm pretty sure that everyone claiming awesome battery life from such-and-such kernel are just placebo. Maybe they differ a few %, but who'd notice.

I was so confused with GB rom choices that I went for ICS. Do I need to keep watching this thread as well?

I used CheckRom on my SGS II and the wifes and now on the Note. It's stable. Stability is most important. Battery life means nothing to me as I carry an extra battery, keep one at work on a charger as well and charge every night. I want to USE the phone at max updates, Maps on , BT on, GPS on, Email pushing and all updates at Min. Everything runnning.
I am on WiFI 90% of the the phones on time. I don't set the phone to turn WiFi off when screen is off. I listen to the FM radio 5 hours a day and Still get over 12 hours before the warning. PLENTY Good enough battery life. I don;t play games or watch movies unless plugged up to a Power supply. Only on cross country flights do I carry the two extra batteries.
I am running CF Root Kernel. See too many issues with new releases of others (except SpeedMod which is a great kernel but I don't really need it).
Looking forward to OFFICIAL ICS with EVERYTHING working as it should be. Will likely flash CheckRom's version as well. I can wait. I don;t like ICS theme or Touch Wiz and will likely stick with my current theme and GoLAuncher even when on official ICS

Of course you may create a thread and watch it too.

So creating a thread and watching it makes you less confused?

What I have found is JKay ICS Domination Theme looks elegant and Less RAM consuming hence fast !
Anyhow I appreciate the fact that CheckROM is really good.
I haven't really tried other ROMS.
May be I am too behind the testers who are on ICS.
But I m just waiting for SPEN support or particularly SPen apps support in AOSP and then I am in for ICS.

CASSIE X for sure. Fast and stable

Thats awesome !!. Were you using it or it was during idle time ?
Even if you used for 10 mins continuously (watching videos) had a 1% drop it would be awesome.

Hi Jeff ,
Yes the listed are 5 GB ROms and 4 Kernels. It's a Multiple Choice Poll.
I created this poll for GB Roms and I believe RocketROM is an ICS ROM now.
Sorry for not adding Rocket Rom for GB. Do u really like it ??
Thanks

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.

No issue and no risk with rhapsody... Me too I have only this phone!
Inviato da Galaxy Note (rhapsody) via TapaTalk
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

[Q] Custom rom worth it?

Hey guys,
I am now the owner of an Samsung Galaxy Note. I was wondering... is it worth it to root my phone in order to flash a custom rom? I mean... this phone is getting ICS any day now too.
What's the point of flashing a custom rom? What do you gain? Please let me know!
ROMs have their pluses and minuses. Freedom is what it's all about.
From all I gather, the current process available means that it is complete reversible. Devices can be unrooted and restored to normal condition.
Suppose it's a personal call. I like to play, so I'm rooting mine right now
So there's no real advantage? There's no (visible) increase in phone performance if I root my phone in order to flash it with a custom rom?
Frankly; I don't use my phone for games, so there's no point in me having that kind of "freedom". As long as I have whatsapp, E-mail and all those useful little widgets.
I just want to know whether or not there's a significant advantage to having my phone rooted and flashed with a custom rom.

Then this isn't for you. The whole point is customizations that may not be available otherwise, and in some cases an overall better rom (subjective). I personally like having that option, though I won't bother since like you said ice cream will come soon

I use a ROM because it runs faster/smoother, gets rid of stuff I don't want, and they can be easily modded further via themes and etc.
That said, the Note runs pretty well even stock. It's crazy smooth with the latest Cassy ROM but I'd assume that stock XLA3 runs well too. I'd suggest looking through ROM threads (you generally really only need to look at the first two posts), and see if there's anything you see that you like.
If nothing interests you, then don't bother. If so..... go get it.
Stock firmware, rooted is probably good enough for most people.

Is it ? Any sources on that ?
Anyway, I love custom ROM's (Coming from a HD2 ), but so far, i've only rooted the stock ROM. I was going to wait for ICS as I couldn't see any benefit to me on a custom one. Plus, i've only had the Note for a day now, so wanted to wait atleast a couple of days before I started to flash new ROM's if I was going to.
I'm the same as you, I don't play games or anything. Just the basics like email, widgets etc etc.
Yes. The note will have ICS any time soon now.
That being said; do some custom roms really go smoother and/or faster than stock roms? If so; aren't those custom roms buggy?
Also, what about battery life when it comes to custom roms? I experienced that when I had custom roms on my HTC Desire HD that the battery life was very bad.

Yes ics is comming but you cant exactly tell when so why wait for ics if you can have a better/faster and smoother Rom right now?!
They definitely do! It always depends what rom you are using but rocket rom for example has a smoothness fix in it and yes it is fckin smooth
Cant complain about my bettery life cant say if its true but in my opinion i have better battery life than before with rocketrom v17 and abysskernel 3.1

I believe fast or slow Roms is gauged on the way the ui frame rate and "rubber band" respond method used in the ipad2. I can really get pissed off totally at how touchwiz behaves to the touch, no matter how you tweak it, the chezzy frame rate sucks. whereas cm9 mod 4.03 gives me the ipad2 feeling of a screamingly fast UI. Samsung! You better not screw up the ICS port you are working on for the note.
I better bet for cm9 to do better.

There are lots of methods of speeding things up - shortening needless delays, removing things you don't need that consume RAM/CPU, removing logging that you don't need, etc. Some methods are safer than others. And optimizing for certain things may mean other things run slower. It all depends.
The same can be said for battery life.
I'd say that overall ROMS certainly run better than stock. You'll see yourself running kernel XXXX, and some people with ROMS on XXXX proclaiming great performance that you aren't seeing.
I'd disagree that there is an overall 'Best ROM'. There is, perhaps, a 'Best ROM' for YOU. In a dream world, the best ROM sacrifices everything you don't use, for stuff that you do use.

Fine. Message from Samsung saying that ICS for the Note WILL arrive in Q1 of 2012.
I moved back to the stock ROM
Being on 2 different ROMs, rocket rom v18 included. I've seen bugs and lags.
I'm rooted and have a kernel that let's me overclock to 1.6mhz. But ROM is stock
Just my 2 cents. Wait for the ICS
I do regret going past the KL3 threshold with an OTA update without rooting. Now I have to downgrade from KL7 to KK9 get root, if for no other reason than to use the AdFree app.
I will probably go ahead and trouble myself with it before another OTA pops up for the German debitel note since I am uncertain of what will happen once ICS does show up and I would rather be ready to go with mobile odin just in case.
Has anyone found a kernel/rom which uses an AOSP bluetooth stack?
This would fix audio quality issues with bluetooth A2DP
coming froma hd2 and many custom roms i have now settled on a stock room, rooted it and removed anything i dont need using root explorer and changed the launcher to go launcher
given the apps ripped out and change of launcher along with framework mods, its fast enough for my likings
Better battery(most improtant for me ), better performance and more eye candy. Try rocket 18 with speedmod 3, i lost 5% in 22 hrs.
Just to make things easy for the layman.
1) Stock TouchWizz v4 (2.3.6) = 75/100
2) VillianMOD (2.3.6) = 77/100
3) Pure Google (2.3.7) = 70/100
4) CM7.1 (2.3.7) = 85/100
5) MIUI v2.113 (2.3.7) = 89/100
6) Pure Google (4.0.1)= 90/100
7) Stock TouchWizz v4 (4.0.1) = ???
8) CM9 (4.0.1) = ???
9) MIUI v4 (4.0.1) = ???
As you can see, its not worth updating now, unless there's a function you really really want.
Wait for a stable CMod or MIUI ROM if you want to "upgrade".
P.S.
Blur (50), Sense (58), TimeScape (63), StageUI (65), iOS (80)
Maemo5 (pr1.2) = 100/99!!!

So true. That's exactly why i want Samsung to "limit" the amount of times i flash my phone vs limitless installs of cROMs
By the way, the only way to find out what the best cROM is, would be to use it for a while. Due to the fact that there are so many options, i think i'd stick to the official one.
I have an unlocked gNote so it may be different for those that have a carrier issued one and have bloatware on the device.
By the way, reading through hundreds of pages of ppl talking about a specific ROM will only make you more confusing

[Moving from stock]ICS ROM

So I'm using StockLite 7.1 and i'm pretty satisfied with it. But GB feeling a bit old, and ICS has some cool options stock that makes some apps on GB useless. I'm woundering on how having a ICS ROM will make my Ace better or worse?
I would like to know battery life/if ICS works FAST like GB on Ace/performance/bugs
And ofc, which is the best ICS ROM. (I would like the more near ICS STOCK possible so no bugs would be found)!
there are few ICS roms available in development section but all have almost same bugs and unstable..
bugs like..
camera not working fully
freq restarts
no wifi tethering
no hd videos playing
less battery backup
battery gets heated up soon etc..

Hi all 1st post so be gentle I've recently started to notice my screen flickering and then suddenly my reception would drop out any one experienced anything like this?
Also I'm on Cassies ICS v8 rom with abyss kernel if that is any help
It may be due to bad battery try replacing the battery

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
My phone does this when battery is critically low, i believe it's just trying to suck the last bit of power.
There's also a bug in early ics which causes weird glitches which disappear after locking / unlocking screen
Maybe it's time for a rom upgrade some nice features in the new jb leaks
Or try switching to hydracore kernel, abyss is a bit dated now

Hi is the hydracore kernel safe as I need to use triangle away and I don't wish to brick my phone or can you advise a safe kernel to use with triangle away?

Hi the phone is nearly a year old is it time for a new battery?
Hydracore is double safe and is probably the best available custom kernel for the Note.
And as for the battery, It should last more than a year even for extreme users, But... Theres no harm in having a spare one, Especially when you're out and about, you can pick them up for cheap so its worth considering.
Anyway, Switch kernels (and maybe ROMs too if you're interested) and see if it makes things improve

Hydracore is double safe and is probably the best available custom kernel for the Note.
And as for the battery, It should last more than a year even for extreme users, But... Theres no harm in having a spare one, Especially when you're out and about, you can pick them up for cheap so its worth considering.

Cool I will try that and report back let's not hope for a brick....
I dont think it will stop after changing the rom... im on jb and still face the issue...
This is already been discussed... its due to low battery level... so ur phone display flickers when ur phone tries to use the remaining amount of energy left...
If ur battery doesnt last longer with each cycle then i think u need to replace ur battery
Triangle away worked great on hydracore thanks. Can any one advise which rom to use for best battery life, and got a replacement Anker battery on the way
for a good stock looking ICS ROM, try CleaNote, its made by the same dev as the hydracore kernel and they work perfectly in harmoney together.
its super smooth, fast, stable and great battery life.
If you want to try JB, id recommend RocketRom v3 or TMT 5.0, Both are excellent with great devs too (RRv3's dev has just left ) they have all the great jb features and are stable, sometimes there is a little lag and the occasional bug, but these are based on leaked firmware so its to be expected.

many thanks will check them out are they all ok to install withe the hydracore kernel?
whats the PARANOIDANDROID rom like?
Yeah, all roms can be used with hydracore except the new Touchwiz jellybean.
Paranoid android is great its definitely worth testing the only thing is u lose spen gestures and apps, but there are alternatives in the market.

Daily Use Rom without any extras

Hey guys, i know many of those threads came here in the past time but i have a question.
I want to give my i9000 to my mother. I need a stable rom which doesnt need to update daily or weekly. I know from many roms that they run VERY fluid in the first few days but barely a week later they begin to lag, stuck, etc.
My mother wants to make calls, maybe whatsapp, facebook, etc.
In addition to that my little brother will pick the phone up and want to play some games likes jetpack joyride or something.
The Rom mustnt be 4.2.2 because i know that many 4.2.2 roms are getting laggy after some time of usage. even slim bean which i used a lot and love it.
anyone any suggestions?
thank you!
why don't u use the stock 2.3.6 rom ? it's ok..plenty of features, god battery life and enough new apps that can run on it. At least you know it's stable and bug-free. After using slimbeam for a few months i went back to stock...it's better for me because i want a stable rom, fast, vith little customization. Slim it's ok but i had some bug's and if u are on a trip or u need to use the gps to go somewhere u don't whant to get force close or other things.

Agreed, stock, or a debloated/optimised stock is the best option. I tend to go back to stock because its rock stable, without losing on too many things.
Especially considering GPS and battery life, stock does incredibly well.

My father uses a easily Rom 10.1 Cyano
I find it easiest of custom Samsung
sauron or stock

okay thanks guys so the majority sticks for gingerbread. i'll stick to the stock rom since my mother never had a smartphone till now and will be surprised positively anyway
@bialabs. CM10.1 is nice but i think the batterylife is very poor on every cm rom since the gingerbread roms. i dont know why but on the i9000 it uses a lot of battery for some reason.
maybe we can leave this thread open for some other user experiences for people who want to live without bunch of extras and customizations
Great question OP. Just giving my mother an old SGS from a friend which runs CM nightlies. Wanted to find a simple, stable rom for her, as she doesnt have a smartphone. Came on xda to find one. Thanks for the replies.
Try Sexynogenmod 2.5 It's rock stable(don't bother with any changes to governor or OC) battery life ,in my case, is similar to stock, gps working fine and very smooth. It's odd that it's based on cyanogenmod 10, maan it's so much different(better). I personally recommend it, and i flash ROMs since 2010

My experience
I am using Supernexus 2 M1. It is almost Stock for Samsung Galaxy S I9000. It working really good. Stable, good speed, etc...
Slimbean 6 i use and no big problem.
All great suggestions. But i finally decided on a gingerbread, because i believe it is more intuitive for a beginner. Stock was a bit laggy, so now i use Saurom ROM 2.3.6 (JWB) with Menu addon pack + Semphore 2.7.4 kernel. Everything is great and have no issues so far.
I use JB 4.2.2 - CM10.1 + Sempahore, all working great..
Nice stable ROM... try it

is it stable when you dont update the nightlies? i know its nice for the first week but when u dont "update" it a long time it becomes very laggy even if you dont install something

10.1.0 sstable was released, probably doesn't have that problem.
