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.

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.

One of my friends wants me to root and flash a new rom to their Note but I have no idea which rom (ICS or GB) is the best.
Now before anyone flames me I just want to ask your opinions on the latest developments. Clearly I am asking for opinions. I also do not currently have this device.

Rocket gb is the most stable.
All GB Roms are very stable, and you won't go wrong if you flash any of them.
OTOH, ICS is not so stable and requires high user maintenance and fixing. I'd stay away from early ICS releases if I were you.

Cool thanks. Any recommended Rom aside from the one mentioned before as in what makes you go to it. I do understand about AOSP Roms and how unstable they can be in the beginning. Also is anyone planning to port CM9 to the note?

Maui is one taking care of CM9 port.. as of now there is no official leak yet. so once the leak is out then the development ll begin and the ROM ll be in hands soon.

Well, basically there are two types of custom GB roms ATM.
1. Light ones (much of the Samsung and other crapware removed)
They are fast and battery efficient. Some users don't like them because of the missing features. I prefer them, though: anything you need can be installed after flashing.
The light Roms are
Cassie's XL
Chrack's Small
2. Full Roms containg almost everything a stock Rom has
These Roms are somewhat (but not much) slower than the light ones, and their batter life can be slightly shorter if you do not monitor what your multitude of apps is doing behind your back, if you get my drift.
You'll find a full list of Note Roms with links here:

As I said before this isn't for me I personally don't have a note but am doing this for a friend and I know aosp ics is a little too unstable on anything for me to flash it to a device that I don't own. So that being said I will probably stick with gb unless they really want ics.

If your friend doesn't even know how to root and flash, then advise him/her that ICS is not the way to go. Otherwise you'll get bugged to death with requests to fix this and that.

OMG seriously if you wanna argue about who note is bigger pm each other and deal with it there.
Same bs no matter where you go on xda someone says something that someone doesnt like and bam out comes the flamethrower.
Ya like i said not my Note so i dont wanna experiment. Not to say i havent thought about Miui. I do however need something as rock solid as possible.
To be truthful both of your notes are bigger than mine coz i dont have one.
That being said my transformer does run CM9 and Cornerstone.
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.

I read a lot on xda and I found a lot of interesting information.
But right now I don't know which kernel/rom combination to use.
I've looked around and I don't really like the feel of ICS. I prefer GB.
So what now?
custom kernel and stock rom?
darky rom?
cm7?

Darky Rom is a good place to start for your first custom rom flash.
All you need to do is reboot to download mode.
Connect your phone to your PC
Open Odin
Install an RE version of Darky Rom
If you do want to try ICS Slim Rom is very nice and i have been running it here for a few weeks with no issues

Thanks for the benchmark thread.
Does CM9 have swype?
or which rom does have it?
For swype just search for swype beta and you can install on any rom. I've tried a lot of the ics roms (cm9, weui, aokp, cna, team icsgs, dark night, slim ics). My favourite was Team ICSSGS. Unfortunately this has not been updated in a while so currently on slim ics which is fast becoming my favourite.
If you havn't flashed ics before i recomend either following ics for dummies or ics333 installation thread in the general section of the sgs forum. Once you've got an ics rom and basics then it is easy to update to slim or any other rom you choose.

As much as I love CM9 and AOKP from my Captivate days, at this moment in time, I cannot recommend them over "regular" ICS Roms.
Performance from my most recent test is still behind ICS not to mention missing features like MHL.
I currently prefer this:

As soon as CM9/AOKP gets there, then I am of course moving to those as I expect them to be just as good as they were on my Captivate

I prefer the paranoid android rom. It's the best thing that I have ever run on my note.
if you like the stock Gingerbread launcher then stock ICS for the note is great for you.
ofcoarse you can put different launchers i had Apex on the UK ICS release and it was very awsome but.. not as smooth as how Apex runs on CM9
And if you use the SPen functionality which i really..as hard as i want i cant really see my self in using theres an app that functions very much the same as SMemo..
is just called memo just check the Themes and Apps section.
it is pen sensitive is amazing..as good as the SMemo so really..no more missing that extra 1% functionality
also another reason why cm9 is that much better is that...
4.0.4 as oppose to Samsungs 4.0.3
i cant recommend enough..
but make sure if you're coming to either one stock or custom i recommend
for stock UK ICS
and custom CM9
make sure to follow the instructions for installing CM9 ..as you need to revert to a rootable GB rom (2.3.5) and root from there and install CM9 from there..
so read read and..after that read more the install instructions
OP, I don't think you've given us a shred of info about what would make a good ROM for you.

I was on almost-stock GB for a long time and never really used S Memo.
For me, the S-Pen is a great tool for illustration, but to take quick notes I still much prefer to type everything instead.
As such, CM9 and any of its derivatives for me (currently Paranoid Android).
Have to agree, tried all kinds of roms gb and ics, stock to modded, but the best thing I have come across is paranoid android.

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!

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.

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.
