I'm a bit annoyed by the lag ever since I compared it with the S2. Is it the higher resolution that's the problem?
Are there any ways to remove the lag? Custom rom? Overclocking?
Rocket rom 21

I guess any custom rom is better than stock. Have tried rocketrom and checkrom so far, and they are both a flight to remember. We Swedes don't seem to get very rescent uppdates through Kies or OTA updater either. Im guessing checkrom is the best way to go right now, but thats mainly because it seems to me that 4 persons are developing that and rocketrom is being developed by one person. May be wrong but that my impression. Checkroms hardware accelerated UI and browser are a real treat as well.
If you wish to overclock then just get the XDA-member-free version of set-cpu and use it with a custom ROM of choise, but you won't need to in order to get rid of the lag. It will be quite gone anyway.
Heja Sverige!

Robbie's DarkyRom is the way to go in my opinion. Well worth a try.
when saying hardware accelerated UI, it only applies to TW, right, and not 3rd party launchers? ADW, specifically.
Is there a custom rom that has no issues?

If you haven't already check out the latest stock ROM LA4. That is the fastest of the stock ROMS. If that doesn't solve it you can try out custom ROMS. I like Cassie's Lite ROM v6. It is very close to stock but with performance tweaks and most junk removed. After A LOT of testing I found it runs the best with FM 2.0 kernel. Hope this helps.

Well, I've tried to get the latest stock rom but I'm not sure what I'm doing. I have been flashing roms since forever (Windows Mobile and Galaxy S) but I have obviously forgotten everything.
Right now I'm rooted on KK4 and I've bought Odin Mobile Pro. Not sure I really need OMP, but oh well.
Can I use N7000XXLA4 Germany from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 even though I have a swedish phone? I've read somewhere that swedish is included in the german version IIRC.
And I just need to follow the steps starting with 1.Easy way is Mobie Odin Pro.?
Flash a better stock rom, or wait for ICS with root?
Someone tell me how long until a good version of ICS comes.

Actually, I recommend staying away from Odin.
Read this article it should help a lot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
I'm using KK4 stock ROM from Hong Kong. No lag whatsoever. My Note really flies now.
I have rooted using Chainfire's method using the exploit mentioned in the above quoted article (without using Odin). Then used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze all stock apps that are memory hogs in Touchwiz, e.g. Media Hub, Social Hub, etc.
Then also used Rom Toolbox to change the SD boost settings (in performance) to 2048kb. I still use the SGN in power saving mode and have Juice Defender Ultimate set to "balanced" to extend battery, nevertheless my SGN is fast, smooth and has no lag at all.

You are wrong.. Using odin for flashing stock firmwares doesnt increase ur binary counter.. Just dont flash custom roms using odin... My suggestion is to use latest firmwares like kla4 or kla6 to reduce lag.. And yes you can use mobile odin for flashing them.. Binary counter wont get increased as it is stock.. But mind you, the latest firmwares cannot be rooted directly.. So you will lose rooting benefits.. So if u want a rooted latest kla4 or kla6,flash a custom rom using it using cwm recovery not odin.. I m using rocket v21 wid abyss 3.5 now
I'm using stock firmware/rom and getting no lag.
The only slight delay I ever get is the wakeup time or when opening sms messages/contacts, it may take several seconds to open.
As for menus/apps it is silky smooth for me thanks to a custom launcher & spareparts+

But OMP has an option like "root on flash". I thought that would root the new rom when flashing?
Now I have CF-Root 5.0 kernel and CWM Manager 3.0 installed.
Is it possible to flash LA4 (from the link I wrote in OP) and still keep root, kernel and CWM Manager? How?

Yup u can.. Use mobile odin pro to upgrade.. You can keep root that way without affecting your binary counter.. And yes do it the same way in the link...

Already flashed LA4 through CWM, worked great. No difference in lag though...
Can I flash N7000XXLA6 (Russia) and still keep the current language (swedish)?
Yeah you can flash, but there is not much difference between LA4 and LA6 except the Russian language i guess. The Lag free update LA4.
Ok, I'll skip LA6 then. I did notice a difference in the browser, it seems there's no horizontal scroll lock when scrolling vertical. I dont think it was like that before?
I dont like the feeling of it, hope they will change it back...
The last thing I did was root and install CWM months ago. I've had several firmware update alerts on my phone and of course I cant apply them because I have CWM installed. So my question is, how do I get updated to the latest firmware (or should I, I would hate to break root) or how do I, from the position I am in now, install a custom rom with a more current firmware? Here are my numbers: Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version: N7000XXKK5,Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKK9-CL725676, Build Number: Gingerbread.XXKK9.
You can install any latest ROM from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just use CWM to keep your root intact.
See post #2 of same thread, how to update ROM with CWM.
Awesome, thanks for the link dr.ketan . So with the current vanilla update and some custom roms out there am I better off with the newest vanilla firmware update, or do some custom roms include the latest firmware along with better bells and whistles? Oh and my phone came from germany. If I install the newest samsung firmware, should I choose the "Open Germany" Not Directly Rootable update from the link you provided? I understand I can root it later since I'm already rooted on the rom I'm on.
You can use open germany lc1(as such i m that only)
Here correcting some words, you can't root it later, but you hav to keep intact while you flash lc1, n that can be done with cwm.
Read detail guide on thread i said u on previous msg.

LOL. Don't confuse him. Here is someone who did not even flash a custom ROM of existing (crappy I agree) GB and you are asking him to flash a ICS ROM which is based on a leak that was never meant for GNOTE.
P.S: With all due respects to Stunner (I am on it and enjoying too)
So Flash open germany LC1 and use the guide to keep root on LC1. Got it. Thanks so much! Yeah Im not ready to install any beta ICS roms yet.
I am new to this forum,so first let me introduce myself.I am a doctor in india.
I bought this phone last year and like most users i was really disappointed with it. Intially it was froyo and then with extreme difficulty I updated to lg stock Gingerbread using its update too.I think the tool itself was buggy like most lg stock ROMs.
Anyway updating to gingerbread was a bad experiance .Too much lag in doing even basic phone use ,forget a smart phone experiance.Anyway not explaining in detail all the problems ,we all know it.
Was waiting for Official ICS release,so never thought of Unofficial ROMS since wud have made it difficult to update to stock ICS by company.
But last weak finally decided to try CM based ROMS and after some research decided to try Temasek CM7 based unofficial ROM build 132,
I must say what an experiance I had.From awesome to wow ,i am short of words to describe it .
So here i must thank everyone involved with XDA and especially cynogenmod and Temasek in perticular.
Thank you Temasek
Thank you XDA
Thank you cynogenmod
You all have made this ****ty phone into a delight to use .
I have installed " n " no of applications and still there is no lag and there is no shortage of RAM(and LAG due to IT) even after i week of using it ,which i used to have with stock gingerbread.
I must say i had been a noob and XDA and all you developers have made me into a mobile phone expert rooter ,flasher, etc.
I had few issues which i wud like to discuss,thanks in advance to anyone who helps me solve these.
I had flashed temasek CM7 build 132.and I had thought it wud also flash latest temasek kernel but it seems it didn't.
It now has kernal version [email protected] # 1
Mod version CM7-20120809
I basically want
1.A kernel with voodoo sound support
2.Ramhack
3.Good battery performance with 3G on.
4.Camera mod if possible.
Temesek could you give a small tutorial on variour kernels made by you,I looked various log changes made by you on p990 kernels but i am very confused.
Also what is difference b/w OC and uv etc
I have spent two days installing various applications on your ROM, so obviously will not like to do factory reset,data reset ,cache reset etc
before flashing any new kernel made by you.Kindly provide some suggestions on what i shud do.
Symbiosis kernel looks promising too but again don't want to wipe anything basically reinstalling all applications all over again.Any suggestions.
And yes I am sure you people in XDA wud soon release a fully functional ICS and even a jellybean based ROMS.So Now with my experiance i can say dont eeven want a LG stock ICS or jellybean even if they release it,untill then I wud stick to this wonderfull ROM by temasek
Thanks everyone and all the best to developers in their efforts on developing a fully functional ICS /jellybean based ROM.Hope to see it soon.
Hi if you already have temasek ROM installed on your phone you can flash latest symbi0sis kernel 1.1.2 without loosing any data! just flash the kernel via cwm and boot the phone - done
also symbi0sis is based on temasek kernel, works perfectly with temaseks ROM
after kernel install u can open the app GuesteOC and enable the ramhack with your preferred size in MB

Thanks for quick reply stefan.
So does that mean i dont need to do data/factory reset or cache reset before flashing symbiosis kernel or any other kernal .I have tons of app's installed ,don't you there can be bugs if i dont do a factory/cache reset before flashing symbiosis kernel.Its written in most threads that kernel flashing is similar to ROM flashing ,so data/ cache rest is advisable.
Where can i find GuesteOC app or can i use terminal emulator method as described in some threads

Np just flash the kernel without any wipes. it will wipe dalvik cache automatically. i guarantee you it won`t break your apps.
GuesteOC is included and will be installed automatically. no need for command line, everything as simple as possible with symbi0sis kernel!
if you try other kernels you might need to wipe dalvik cache first if they dont do automatically!
also u can do a backup in cwm first so if something goes wrong you restore the backup with all your apps.
Thanks stefan i will apply your Kernel today itself.Hope it solves everything ,Voodoo sound support ( i have the app with me) ramhack and good battery life too.Will post back if i face any issue.and offcourse my compliments
Also another question to you .You have said CWM backup/Restore .I did the same 3 days back before installing temasek ROM.But had forgotten to keep backup of some important SMS messages so tried to restore original stock LG ROM through CWM back up/and restore.
I Had a real shock it said that i had restored everything but my LG started rebooting again and again just stops at LG logo everytime.Even recoery was not accessible.So i had a torrid time going through variuos XDA thread .NVflashed stock froyo ROM and then flashed temasek ROM.
The only thing i missed was that i pressed backup/and restore straight from CWM app instead of going through manual recovery doing data/cache wipe and then restoring from Backup image.
Can you through some light on the serious issue that i had

Maybe it had to do with different file system (ext3 stock / ext4 temasek) -- afaik you need to flash back2ext3 or something when you want to go back to original stock ROM. However I have never done that (going back to orig stock). Next time best use "SMS Backup & Restore" (available in market) for backing up and restoring SMS after ROM change!
Good luck with the new kernel I'm sure everything will be fine.

Do restores this way
1>wipe data/factory reset
2>wipe cache partition
3>flash back2ext3
4>restore
Upgrade your cwm recovery to 5.0.2.0 or 5.0.2.8 (non-touch cwm)

Stefen your kernel is awesome.Perfect combination for temasek's ROM
I think i will stick to this ROM for a while,untill temasek or someone comes out with a fully functional ICS/jellybean based ROM.Will never flash stock LG ICS's based ROM even if LG bring it out(Hope LG release it soon that shud provide d missing drivers that we urgently need).
Temasek your ROM is d "project butter" for me.I dont feel d need to wait for jellybean ROM.And yes i already have cwm 5.0.20 version recovery installed.
Hello people,
This has without a doubt been asked before but I haven't been able to find an answer. My problem is this:
A while back I flashed the then latest available version of the MIUI.us ROM for my international SGS i9000. Everything went fine with the flashing; I had to flash the ROM four times in part due to the new CM10 partition layout. Since the flashing was done late at night, I turned my phone of and plugged in the charger for it to charge during the night. The next day when I tried booting it up, the phone never got beyond the kernel screen. I didn't pay to much attention to this since I already had been thinking about flashing the CM10 ROM anyway and this seemed like a good time to do so.
I saw no other solution to escape the bootloop but to go back to stock (2.3.3 for my region) and then root the phone again (CF's method) and proceed with flashing my ROM of choice. I did not use a PIT-file in going back to stock. I flashed stock using ODIN v1.7 (I think). My computer at the time was running 64-bit Windows 7. The stock ROM I used, I found on a stock ROM collection thread here on XDA since the stock ROM from sammobile.com only got stuck in bootloop already at the first boot up after the flash with ODIN was complete.
Next I flashed the M2-version of the CM10 ROM and everything went fine. Since my phone already had the new partition layout from previously having flashed the MIUI.us ROM, I only needed to flash the CM10 ROM once.
The CM10 ROM worked like a dream for about two weeks. I stayed on the M2 during this time. After two weeks though, my phone again got stuck in bootloop unable to get beyond the kernel screen. Again it had been turned off and plugged to the charger during the night preceding the bootloop; a thing very common in my use case.
In neither of the cases did I change anything about the ROM I flashed; no custom kernels, no custom modems, everything was as it came with the ROM.
My question then is this:
What do I have to do in order to avoid ending up in bootloop again?
My thought was that I should return to stock and do everything from scratch again but this time use a PIT-file in order to make things "the right way". The thing is that half the flash-guides say one should use a PIT-file and the other half advice you not use a PIT-file since this would increase the risk of bricking your phone. Is there any point in using a PIT-file when flashing the stock ROM since flashing the CM10 ROM would change the partition layout anyways?
Am I taking the wrong approach to this? I really liked CM10 and would like to try out the stable version.
Sorry for the very long post.
Thanks in advance.
The pit file contains information about the partition layout. When you go back to stock from JB, you should use it. Try again going to stock with pit file and then flashing cm9 and then cm10. This way is the safest.

I just got to thinking. As you might have heard the CM-team changed the partition layout after a certain version of their CM10 release. When going from Stock to CM9 and then to CM10 is it all right if I flash the stable version of each release or should I go from Stock to CM9 to CM10 pre-partition layout change to CM10 post-partition layout change?
Also: should I prefer the Stock ROM found at sammobile.com or are the files found on this thread better?
Thanks in advance.

Aight! Will try that out and see what happens. Thanks again for your reply. Btw, should I go with the CM9 stable or the CM9.1 stable? Maybe it doesn't matter in my case since CM10 stable is the final aim of the project? As I understand it CM9.1 stable is only a maintenance release?
Sorry again and thanks for your patience.

I'll do that and report back later this week. Thanks again for your time.
Well I finally had time to flash my phone. I flashed stock using the 512 PIT-file. Then I flashed CM9.1 stable and finally CM10 stable; like you advised me to. The only problem when flashing stock was that the single-file stock ROM found on sammobile.com does not seem to work for me; I get stuck in bootloop when I flash this file (doesn't matter if I use a PIT-file or not when doing so). I tried using the three-file stock ROM found on the XDA forums (with PIT) and this time it worked. Other than that everything went fine. I hope the post-flash bootloop phenomenon I've experienced earlier does not appear again.
One more thing: I also flashed the 4.2 keyboard with the swype-like function through recovery [Android4.2_Keyboard_v2_gnufabio.zip]. How do I go about uninstalling it?

You'll have to extract the cm10 keyboard apk from the cm10 zip file and put it in /system/app folder.
Tip: If you don't like cm10 or want something cool, then you can download flash another JB ROM, eg Slimbean, C-Rom, Remics-JB, X-bean etc.

To answer my own question: apparently the multi-file ROM found at sammobile.com is meant to be used with Heimdall. But as I understand it Odin is better for going back to Stock WITH re-partiotion (PIT-file). Am I wrong?

I was wondering how to uninstall the 4.2 keyboard I installed not the stock AOSP keyboard that comes preinstalled with CM10.

I find CM10 to be awsome. As I understand it basically *all* other ROMs are based off of CM. Out of the alternative ROMs you mentioned I would probably try out X-Bean and Slim Bean; I really like the look and feel of Vanilla Android. One thing I do miss in CM10 is the kill all button in the task manager. And that apps really close and release their memory when I close them.

I am not sure, but i think that when you installed the 4.2 keyboard, it replaced the aosp one, so you wil have to open the CM10 zip file, find the aosp keyboard .apk and put it on your phone in /system/app and then set the permissions accordingly.
Regarding other ROMs, yes they are based off cm10, but some people say cm10 is a bit slow so they prefer other versions, some with extra feautures, themes or removed things.

Nope, both are still there. The main reason I would like to uninstall the 4.2-version is because the swype functionality only supports English (I'm multilingual). I was hoping I wouldn't need to install the Swype keyboard if the 4.2 stock keyboard worked completely with all my preferred languages. No need to have an extra keyboard installed if I'm not gonna use it.

Out of X-Bean and Slim Bean which one would you recommend and why? What are you running yourself? I don't know why but it just *feels* like CM10 is more stable (although, admittedly, I haven't tried any of the ROMs you listed). I guess in a way CM10 is the Official Custom ROM with the most up-to-date developer support. For instance CM10 went to Android v4.1.2 quite a while ago (when compared with other ROMs). When it comes to CM10 being a bit slow, lets face it; the i9000, although being a very good phone, is more than two years old at this point.

If both are there then delete the 4.2 apk and reboot your system. I dont think there is a way to uninstall it.
I use Remics-JB because of the S3 look. X-bean and slimbean are from the top of my head,both of them are focused on speed. There are many more, choose the one you like.

The thing is it came as a ZIP-file; not an apk. I had to install it through recovery mode.

Flashing a zip just places some files in some directories. When you flashed the keyboard, all it did was copy the apk to /system/app.
Delete it and you should be OK.

Seems about right. I can't figure out which apk it is though. None of the ones listed has a name even suggesting it is a keyboard.
Open the keyboard zip you flashed and check the name of the apk

Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

1. Yes go to clockwork mod folder on SD card
2. Yes search for stock DEODEXED ROM
3. Yes search. No cm7 ever though. There is a thread that lists all roms.

Hi AndroidSlave,
Thank you for your prompt answer(s).... Indeed it certainly was helpful for No2)

However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM?? I was in CWM and started the backup, watched a bit of TV and came back to find the phone had rebooted, didnt tell me if it was successful or not, just ready to use phone again. Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...
2:
Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????
3:
I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

to Install GB via flashable zip, you can flash via Mobile Odin or CWM - or if the thread has special install instructions, follow those
this search string gets a few results

As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)
