Hello guys, I'm thinking bout flashing a ICS rom to my GT-N7000, I'm thinking about trying a few, so far I've donwloaded CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V2 and ROMOW_V1_ICS_GT-N7000.
ATM I'm just reading how to flash them so I don't screw things up, but I'd like to hear which one you recommend?, any others I should try? (I kind of like the S-pen functions)
BTW, my note its properly rooted and with CWM. So if any of you have any advice, I'd like to hear it.
Regards from Venezuela.
I'm using ICS stunner which works really well for me..
I've tested Alba LP6, Team Rocket ROM, Liquid,Imilka CM9 and now Criskelo V2 whit LP6 modem and I'm very pleased whit its performance and battery life is good enough I really recommended its use as daily ROM, I'm very happy with my Note its the best phone I've ever have.

ROMOW hasn't had any development or updates for quite some time now.
So, if you're dead set on choosing between the two, go for Criskelo.
BTW, I'm running Stunner like most of the guys who posted here.
It's a fantastic Rom.
Hey guys, thanks for your comments. Maybe I'll go with stunner. It does look quite good.
This brings me to another question. Almost all ICS roms instalation guides tells you to flash I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK and the rom later, yet I saw a guide here that explains this won't be necessary if you flash AbyssKernel.
Based on your experiences, what would you recommend as the safest way to flash any ICS rom?
Again thanks for your answers.

Neither is very safe, heh.
But that's part of the fun.
There are always things that can go wrong, especially if you are not extra-careful when following the flashing steps.

you have been here longer than i am, so i would think that you are supposed to read and use the search functions of this forum than just wait up for answers from other people that may not come at all.
if you are afraid to root, go no further. if you take the risk, then go all the way and test all the available roms and decide which one suits your taste. it's your phone, it's your risk.... do not blame anyone if something bad happens, because if somebody answers your question "which one would you recommend" and somebody does recommend a specific rom, and you BRICKED your phone in the process... you will curse whoever gave you that suggestion.
I found Rocket Rom v22 used with franco v6 kernel very fast and stable. I got my best benchmark scores using this setup.
Now on Midnote ICS and while very smooth it doesn't have the same benchmark scores. (Not that they mean much as it feels quicker in daily use).
To sync FB pics with contacts install FB app then go to settings/accounts and sync, add FB account. It will ask you what to sync eg all contacts etc

These kind of threads will be the death of me.
They crop up every other day: an inexperienced guy asks a question, and tons of 'users' jump at the chance to start waxing lyrical about their pet roms.
Let me ask you a question: what makes you think that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your pet is the right one for the OP? It might be the right one for you because it suits your needs. Are you sure that the OP has the same needs?
Another thing: you have given all the roms a go, so you are informed enough to judge the merits of the particular rom compared to others? I'm as great a flashoholic as the next man here, and I haven't tried them all. I seriously doubt that you have.
The only answer to 'which is the best rom' would be something along these lines:
1. there are light roms, and there are full roms
2. light roms are light because (explanation)
3. full roms OTOH contain (explanation)
4. light GB roms are the following: (links - mind you, not one link, but links)
5. full GB roms (links)
6. repeat the above two steps for the ICS
And let the OP decide for himself.
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

Fair enough. Personal opinion I guess. I think cm9 is the best ics out at the moment.

Stunner version 19 is the best rom I ever had on my gnote. Battery was even better then stock rom.
CM9, is still being developed, but looks extremely promising.
If only I knew how to build like team hacksun and team passion

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.
I am rooting the phone for the first time so I want to know which is the best available ICS rom which has least bugs. I need basic things to work such as wifi and bluetooth. I want all the steps to complete the procedure. It will be really helpful if any one could give me some links. I could have searched but I have no idea which one is the best so please help me.
Hello

I have not yet started I need links to begin the process right from the scratch.
All ICS roms have bugs. Look in Dev thread for CM9 or AOKP.
Spend at least 4 hours reading how to prepare and install, 2 hours reading what to do when unexpected things happen during/after flash, and 1 hour being sorry wasting your and others time on such impossible question usually followed by biased opinions.
Don't flash ICS. wait for stable JB rom

As far as i experienced slim ics and cm9 are the best out there ...
sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
In terms of which ROM is best, unfortunately there is no answer.
Each rom is different (obviously) so people prefer different roms that fit their different needs.
I'd personally recommend something like SlimICS, TiramiSLIM, or DarkyROM Black Edition.
Slim ICS is a cut down version, no extravagant features.
TiramiSLIM has an easy installation process (if already rooted) and has lots of customization options.
DarkyROM is one of my favourites, but I just upgraded to Jellybean.
You want to know all the steps to installation?
One of the best guides I've found is for the Team 3xtr3me ICS333 rom.
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25722239#post25722239
It goes through installation of a rooted Gingerbead (2.3) rom via odin, which is the part most ROM installation guides assume you have already done.
From there you should be able to follow almost any ROM's guide for installation.
Hope this helped.
Don't flash another thing than Cyanogenmod nightlies.
Maybe AOKP. But prefer cyanogenmod. Accelerometer still broken on AOKP. No point of it. (Please don't comment temple runners.)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
As kernel, flash latest devil kernel. Don't think another choice. Every kernel is nice. Semaphore is as nice as decil. But devil has more customization choices.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
When you're a bit into the flashing thing you coult try RemICS, which has best design for me and is very smoothe and fast as well.
CYANOGENMOD 9 !!! The best of all no bug no problem very fast and I use it for months with devil3.99 kernel
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592131
Hmm... to lazy to find out how to root, what's the difference (if significant) between roms, what to do when that pesky bootloop happen,.... so just start yet another thread for the bragging hordes?
"...... rom is smooth, bugfree, snapping fast, will make you breakfast? , has looongest bat. life,... "

I use DarkKnight 5.5 with DevilKernel and I found it very stable and smooth. For me it is the best ICS ROM for SGS.

You can try AOKP. I've been using it since a month and I can say that it's quite smooth and well developed. Try it and u won't regret.
My personal favourite. Slim ICS
But look at this benchmark thread and decide for yourself.

I have the same opinion. I currently use CM9 latest nightlies. Best kernels are Devil and Semaphore. I prefer CM9 + Devil kernel. But you could really wait for stable JB...
I've tried several ICS roms and, for me, the better one is Remics. Version 1.3 is already out, but I'm in 1.2 and I don't feel any need of upgrading it!
Hi guys and girls!
Hope you are all doing well. Anyway, I rooted yesterday and am running a new kernel (speed mod k13 I believe) anyway. What I am after now, is as the title says, a light, fast rom with decent battery life. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or experiences and could suggest something. Would a CYANOGEN from work? When I had my galaxy s I was using 7 and found it really good. But are there others?
Cheers!
Oliver

cyanogen will indeed work as will paranoid android charack,s,rocket rom if its lite you want then look for a rom with aroma installer so you can install what you want
Cheers!, really liking the look of paranoid android, especially the hybrid roms! it has been a goood while since i flashed a rom, so need to figure out what i have to do again. lol, thanks, if you can provide any tips on moving to this rom from stock ics with speedmod kernel, it would be helpful! Thanks.

As long as you are on safe kernel you don't have to worry about anything or to revert back to GB. Just keep flashing rom with full wipes. Its enough for you.....

What exactly you want to backup from old rom, apps? If so then use titanium backup. I never backup whole rom as it hardly takes 15-20 minutes to setup rom if you have backup of apps.

Yes, as with any AOKP/ CM9 based rom..
There are alternative apps that could be used.
Otherwise, there are some excellent choices when it comes to Touchwiz-based roms as well.
Some are available themed to the AOKP look, if you prefer.
