they say that ketuts blackhawk kernel is pretty good ( but not the best as best kernels dont exist)
and what do u mean by ics for ace ??? i guess we already have cm9 beta 8
the camera issue may take a while though

agree with the prev post.cm9 is great,we just have to wait for the bug fix

Concerning the kernel, one that seems really promising is "The Ace Kernel beta 3.1" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606352
It has a lot of features, seems quite stable, even if still in beta.
Notice that it is not for stock roms : only for CM7 roms.
For ICS, there won't be an official release for the ACE. But some dev are working on compiling CM9 (based on ICS sources) for the ace. Look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490867
The main issue with this port, at the moment is that the camera is not working. In fact that's an issue a lot of CM9 roms are facing at the moment. So, it may take some time to be fixed, but the work done on this rom is simply amazing. It's worth a try.
Edit : If you want to ask generic question about this rom, use this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500234 as the one in the developpers section should be used only to report bugs, and things like that.

In my opinion something went went wrong when you flashed. Simply try again to wipe everything then flash again. I use this rom and flashed it on top of 2 other roms, and no problem for me.
I had issues after flashing some other roms, and I think they were caused by some other roms data not wiped before flashing

No ICS / JB rom either cm9 based or cm10 based offers a good battery life. If you want battery longetivity, the name is stock roms.

Help needed on MIUI!

Any help is appreciated
Wait for Rocket ROM MIUI if you want the best possible MIUI for the Note.
Search for Rocket ROM in the Dev section and vote for MINI.

The brick bug is there with every ROM that has Stock ICS Kernel.Kernels that have MMC_ECAP_ERASE command removed are safe but for some reason MIUI doesn't support these kernels :silly:
CM9 MIUI.Read the OP.Follow the instructions.

Though it seems you asked for an opinion on which one to use and it does appears that you did your homework and read up on both the main miui roms available at the moment, imo to say that there are to many complaints regarding them is a little unfair as there isn't a rom forum on here that doesn't in some shape or form have an compliant on whats not working or could be improved that's human nature.
As I really can not comment on the VengeanceNote Edition MIUI 2.8.3- v2.4 + Test builds version due the the fact that I'm not a big fan of cm9 but the rom developer (Gerrett) works very hard on improving it for being a test build (as the title suggest) so yes bugs are to be expected as in any rom. I personally do use the TMT-ver 2 and when properly flashed as per instructions it performs very well. Yes it does have a suspected kernel but being a long time miui user I flash mine from a relatively safe kernel , wipe cache,dalvik, format the system, factory reset then flash the rom and reboot, along with formatting my internal sd card and installing from scratch though it takes me a bit (1 hour or so) and everything works fine and it saves me a few headaches along the way, there are the standard things that miui themselves need to fix like the fc's in the About phone Status and in the Mobile Networks when you want to select Network Operators (these have been known issues since my S2 days) and few people have an issues with the theme manager but for me it does what I want it to. I get decent battery life being a semi-light user never less then a day and a half to 2. But it does vary on what I'm doing..
In the end to ask an opinion for what to use you'll get a variety of each individual who answers your post but what might work well for them may not apply to you and your phone so try what you like if it doesn't suit you then move on to another..

go to download section, take i9000.zip and common_2.2.zip
Ok thanks mate, I screwed up my phone while trying to install 2.1 before so thought better to ask
The thing is that I did download and install those 2 files only :?
Well hopefully it will work fine this time
BTW do I have to Wipe all (delvik, cache etc) or just the data?

I would do a full wipe for a clean install
P.s. btw i assume that you have cm9 or ics kernel installed before installing SlimICS?

Great Rom, very fast. 3g/wifi is working great, Battery life is cool too. My cell was charged 8 hours ago and wifi have remain on since. Also about 25 min of conversation done too.
Hmmm i misread and thought u were installing SlimICS but good that u got JB working anyways! Btw, how much better is Slimbean compared to SlimIcs? Have been thinking about upgrading..

Can't compare it with Slim ICS as I haven't used that but it's one of the best for sure , using it for just about 24 hours but it's working great.
ICS 4.0.4 was one of the best I have used and I can say that this one beats that hands down.

Instead of starting new thread you should've look around first, as it's already proved to be working... I'm using it right now...
Right. I wanted it faster than google could find for me. sorry.

Choco bread is an old ROM, im not sure it will work on that, but it will definitely work on newer ROMS , even CM10 and 10.1
BTW why chocobread? There are so many other better ROMS. If you go to android development section you will find many better ROMs than chocobread. Hell, even cm10.1 works properly now (android development>>Bazinga ROM by The Alchemist)

I'm sorry to hear that. If your phone is still under warranty, flash stock ROM and take it to SSC. (Actually even if it not under warranty, take it to SSC to determine the cause of your problems- it could be hardware related...for all you know, you could have purchased a defective model)
As for the correct method to flash a ROM-
1) Boot into Recovery.
2) Wipe data, Cache partiton.
3) Go to advanced>>wipe Dalvik cache
4) Install update from sd card>>choose update>>ROM.zip
5) After flash wipe data and cache partition.
6) Reboot.
That's all.
Hope this helped. Best of luck in fixing your phone:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

[Q] Perform a clean downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4

Hello there XDA.
First I would like to apologize if this has already been answered. I searched for the past 3 hours but did not find anything that would fully answer my questions.
So I have a Samsung GT-N7000 Galaxy Note running the stock 4.1.2 LT4 ROM (rooted). The device is unbranded and bought from Germany. Because it lags horribly everywhere, I want to get ICS and the old TouchWiz back, so I decided to downgrade to the latest ICS ROM that has TouchWiz 4, and, after searching, I found that it is N7000XXLRK.
These are my questions:
- what do I have to do to fully wipe the phone before I downgrade to N7000XXLRK, therefore completely removing any traces of older ROMs, in order to do a clean install? Do I have to use some option in PC Odin? Maybe wipe some partitions in Recovery (I have installed PhilZ CWM for LT4)? Cache, data, system, or maybe some others, too?
- what partitions are safe to wipe from CWM and what are not?
- what else should I do to ensure that the new ROM works properly?
- is there anything that needs to be backup-ed, aside from apps (I use TitaniumBackup for that) and all files on the sdcard and external_sd partitions?
I mention that before LT4 I had all Stock 2.3 ROMs, all Stock ICS ROMs 2 AllianceROMs and 3 leaked Jelly Bean ROMs.
Thanks in advance.
See friend... this is Easy, I think as you are on xxlt4 u must be running philz, c.o.h or speedmod//??.. if yes, boot to recovery and go to mount and storage option and then format everything... after that.. go to the bootloader, VOLdown+home+Power.. and then directly flash your ICS ROM, this would be a perfect clean install!!!
hit- THanks please

Hello NoteboyTech.
All right. Thanks for the answer. I will try it. Yes, I am on official XXLT4 with PhilZ CWM, but no custom kernel.
P.S. Have you or anybody else tested this before? I may be a little paranoid but I am afraid not to brick my device, as I have read that some users were unable to use the phone function after formatting /efs or /boot in CWM.

Moving to a new ROM to make my I9000 Faster

Hello, I'm new to this subject and I'd like to have some explenations because i'm afraid to brick my phone.
a year ago I installed on my sgs I900 dark knight 4.0.4 rom with a matching Devil Kernel.
now the device is really slow and almost unusable , it crashes etc..
I'm looking for a new rom and kernel to make it usable. I'm only using mail and browser and making phone-calls, BT speakers are also important.
How can I do this ?
should I go back GB ? or update to CM ? What are the exact steps ?
If someone could send me his skype or something for additional support that would be great
