I would advice you to wait for official release mate
Right now there are couple of very good ICS ROMs but there is also a risk of bricking your note because ICS leaks kernel are somewhat faulty
Better safe than sorry

I agree. Hearing all the issues, not even about bricking frightens me. Although for those who have successfully installed ICS on the Note, I do envy you because stock android looks amazing! However, once official ICS is released by Samsung devs would prefect stock ICS I bet. =P

I have just come back to stock after using ICS ROMS.
I encountered a lot of problems such as:
not being able to transfer files from pc to note.(i had to take out SD card and use an adapter).
Phones rebooting randomly alot.
When trying to flash in recovery, the flashing procedure kept on freezing.
I think it is safe to stay on stock, where you will be problem free until official ICS release.

I've never had any of these problems that you mention. I don't think most users have either.
Can't transfer files? USB storage is now native to most ICS ROMS.
Random rebooting? Sounds like a personal problem to me.
Flashing in recovery and freezing? Okay, yeah that's a common problem...but it's an easily fixed problem, and it mainly comes about because you don't have proper root to begin with.
There's also some evidence recently that a few ICS kernels can cause permanent emmc (internal storage) failure that can not be revived. So yes, you probably shouldn't be flashing ROMS to begin with, as it sounds like you don't have much experience. This would put you in over your head for sure. It's best to wait until you've lurked around the boards for a bit and to wait for a stable and official ICS base to come out. Best of luck!

Lol
Personally am sticking to my current setup (ICS Stunner 1.4.19 + LP6) mainly because I have absolutely zero issues so far with great battery life, why fix something not broken? but also because of the recent news of the faulty kernels

[Q] Perfect ROM

Hi doods
I'm A new G noter
I want to ask about a perfect ROM based on official.
I had Xperia Neo before this one and theres a very very good ROM for xperias
by the name of SE.Tweaked.
it's absolutly the official ROM that excess app and sys app are removed on it.
is there any thing like that for note that deliver a speed and costumization ability beside that every thing working perfectly on it(pen and ...)
Thanks a lot

Rocket & Litening ftw!

For custom GB roms, I have tried Rocket rom and the newer Litening rom. In my opinion, both are great and definitely worth considering.

For the GB, I have tried DarkyRom, ChrackRom, CheckRom, Cassie's XtraLiteRom, and Litening Rom. I found them very comparable in performance and battery life. For ChrackRom you have option to install a full, small, and extra small rom. I am using Litening Rom right now. I might go back to ICS Stunner rom, I like the Stunner rom except that it is not as stable as the GB roms in my SGN.

I really like ICS Stunner too, but you might want to exercise caution using that or any other ICS LP5/LP6 leak based ROMS until an issue with potentially hardbricking your phone during flashing is resolved.
If you're interested, there's a still experimental (but as far as hardbricking safer) ICS CM9 build that's really cool over here:

Hiya there ! I'll seize this opportunity to avoid creating a post of my own then ! I'm like Arasl, though i bought my GNote in february and i'm still running a non-root, stock ROM because i'm sort of "afraid of flashing".
First, i've never done it before, and since i'm a Linux user i've been searching for ways to do it through linux instead of the Odin/windows method but i'm now pretty much resigned to use Odin (seems simpler, methods actually do exist and there's more feedback, though any hint towards linux-oriented methods would be great).
I've restrained myself from flashing ever since i saw the brick-related posts from ICS Stunner ROM and i do NOT want to flash that ROM.
My questions are then following :
1) Is it possible to ROOT the phone without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1 ?
2) If it is unsafe to flash ICS-based ROMs, is it 100% safe to flash gingerbread-based custom ROMs or is there still an important risk of bricking the phone?
I can imagine most people will answer yes to the previous question and in that case, which ROM would you advise that is both light (and smooth, since the stock ROM is a little laggy on the edges) and the most battery-saving?
Thanks for any hints to existing posts, i've been looking around but i just don't have the time to read the hundreds of pages of custom stock roms to compare them all by myself ;-)

Just use the latest cm9. Very safe and beautiful. If you need the spen functionality then use gb..

If by any means you are ready to work on windows, i would gladly help you in all these...although in a RISK on anything happens on completely you only.
I, too as being flasholhoic, flashed almost every ROM here in the development section both GB and ICS, every kernel, so i will try my best to avoid any risk but god-only-knows-the-best. As per your question,
1. Yes you can root your stock rom without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1, Go here and select the right kernel and follow the procedure.
2. Official CM9 is the only (yet most) safest ICS build here, the rest being suffered by the ultimate phenomenal hardbrick bug. And yes its safe to flash any GB rom until you are switching it from GB to GB rom only.
The most important thing, take enough time to read read and read (even query) the instruction before flashing anything, or else you can have ample amount to time to read anything with coffee placed on your new bricked note. Choice is yours.

how many went back to GB after the scary public announcemnet related ics kernels

man when i read that i was like dam that is not a joke, and bing bang boom back to GB darky 3.4.1 rom is the greatest, as sorry ICS leaks does not worth it with all its problems it already has and now this scary threat of bricking my device due to kernels in those leaks, no way i am on GB again until an ics official release
how many of you did the same , and which rom did u go back to and why
thanks god i did not brick my device, and never ever will i jump into any leaked roms that are not first officially released

I went back to Stock + rooted (PC Odin flash) from ICS stunner (which is a great ROM btw) after reading about the risks of the leaked repack kernels from Entropy512, not to mention the various horror stories by those less fortunate than myself.
There but for the grace of God go I...
I'm going to go for the CM9 version once its a bit more mature (looks really good already on build #3), or wait until a safe kernel is brought into ICS Stunner.
The official ICS might even come out soon...not holding my breath though

I've flashed many ICS ROMs, but I was lucky as I stick to Redpill Recovery procedure of going back to GB and never tried anything with ICS kernels (well almost as I used their CWM Recovery to flash Abyss Kernel 4.2 with Redpill). I'm daily using CheckROM with jKay MOD + DarkyOTA (for easier modifications) and for now I'm happy with it. I've checked what ICS has to offer and now I'm waiting for official version.

There is no need to stick with GB ,I just upgraded from GB to cm9 for the first time
Cm9 contains a safe kernel so you don't need to worry about flashing it .

Been on ICS for a week now
First on AOSP ICS 4.0.4 for awesome UI, next Criskelo ROM 4.0.3 for better speed.
So far so good!
Still doesn't die on me!!
Go ahead and flash it baby!
Dun be a wuzz!
Any recommendations for other ICS variants?

I am still on ICS Stunner and will stay on it. I dont see a reason for changing a stable system with awesome battery life and such great daily performance use.

Loved Stunner's roms but reverted back to GB because of the hard bricks.
Now running CheckRom V6 with AbyssNote 4.2 and Nemus Launcher. Very stable rom, fast and good battery life.
As soon as CM9 matures a bit or Stunner implements the open source kernel I'll probably flash back to ICS. Who knows, maybe Samsung will release ICS in a few weeks.

Sorry but I made a Poll here in Q&A in which I ask who hardbricked the Note with one of those kernels. Where are those bricked devices?
So far no user reported this in this boards section. At least I havent seen anyone.

While his advice is to the leak in general, I think it is VERY clear the problem (SO FAR) has ONLY been caused by the botched Kernel by Angelom and the 1 bad version of Stunner (before fixed).
No one (reported) has EVER been bricked by any other leak/ICS Build on the Note.
There is always a risk, it could happen again with another modified ICS Kernel Build, but it is my opinion based on plain common sense and the facts that no one is going to be bricked using the ICS Leaks currently being used by MANY and having never had a problem.

The problem resides in the leaked Samsung kernels that's the base of any and every custom ICS rom currently released in the dev section except for the CWM9 roms.
I've flashed a crapload of ICS roms in the past two weeks, I think I've been alternating between roms at least 15 times and wiped even more but that's absolutely no garantee that my luck won't run out at some point. The moment I've read the posts from people that absolutely know what they're talking about I reverted back to a GB rom. Waiting a couple of weeks for an official update beats not being able to use my Note.
Soft bricking, losing all your data, instability, battery drain, those are the 'normal' risks you should be prepared for when flashing any rom but hard bricking your device beyond JTAG repair is a major thing. It's a garanteed motherboard replacement and Samsung will not give you warranty.

You are wrong, there have been plenty.
I'm currently using Stunner with the DAFUQ kernel. Its kinda buggy but it still beats Gingerbread. Not gonna give up my precious tablet UI!

i am one of those suckers that got bricked by this issue. it is a risk when flashing experimental leaks. it sucks the big one but i knew this was a possibilty when i started flashing. it happened after i had flashed dozens of times with different roms and mods. you just have to suck it up and realize this is always a risk no matter what you are flashing or whether you have done this before or not. luckily i had everything backed up so i have not lost much except my note for a few weeks and maybe a couple of hundred dollars. i am still waiting for mine to be repaired.

very true man and same here.
was a very happy and heavy flashoholic in ICS untill the warning. Have been lucky sometimes by just switching to stock from ICS by Abyss kernel only not red pill even shutting down system instead of rebooting to Red pill. Lol but even after all this damm-i-may-be-hard-tym-screwed i was quite a lucky fella. Even ignored the kernel Warning by Entropy too, but lol man, a comment by a user in stunner that even copying a file more then 200mb to the Note can also fry your system, dammm i was like stoned. Even didnt tried it out against my such a good luck and bamm yesterday i was back to GB.
Even right now i am a happy flasholoic in GB by trying every version here and switching between them with a ratio of 2roms/day.

went back to RocketRom V23 myself today... will wait it out with CM9 mature versions.

I'm going to stick with ICS Stunner for the moment. I always flash Abyss and use RedPill for all 'Recovery' related things anyway.
I'm sure that soon all ROMs will be rebuilt without the leaked kernels and have all the features we currently have but, until that time, I'll keep using the leak based ROMs.
It would bother me, taking a 'step back' to protect myself against something that 'might' happen.
This is all personal preference though, I certainly do not advocate or recommend that anyone do the same as me.

[Q] waiting for safe ICS, what is best GB ROM?

hi everybody, now that Gingerbread roms development has almost stopped, here on xda we can find a lot of rom based on latest LC1 firmware. between all this rom i can't say which is the best one, so i'm asking you to give me some advices about your favourite rom.
i know you can tell me: "flash one after the other and try all ol them", but my note just came back to me after a month of assistance (bricked), so i don't want to start immediately flashing 5 or 6 roms.
P.S: i'm particularly attracted by "AllianceROM v3.4.1", what do you think about it?

Go for RocketROM v23. I guess its the best which i have used in GB So far

Among the GB roms I tried, I like Chrack´s XXLC1 Multi rom the most. I have no experience with AllianceROM v3.4.1.

it looks like it's safe, but since when i see a post that tell every possibility of having bug has been cutted off, i don't want to risk.

I cannot decide which to try first myself: darky rom or lightening rom?

I know you asked for GB ROMs, but I can tell you that I've been playing with Official CM9 and Asylum for a while now. Have done almost everything possible in Recovery, including multiple full wipes.
These ROMs are safe, they don't have the emmc bug, since they're built from i9100 (S2) update 4 sources. I'm just saying that because stock-looking ICS ROMs have greatly improved my personal experience on my Note.
That being said, best and least buggiest ROM for me was Darky. RocketRom is very nicely built by eybee who REALLY knows his stuff and most users have given awesome feedbacks. However, due to my way of using it, or...I don't know, Rocket used to lag considerably compared to Darky...
Best of luck finding what suits you mate!
LE: Also add ParanoidAndroid to the safe ICS list, if you're into the whole phone/tablet hybrid

for what i can understand, choosing as your favourite darky, you can tell me thay alliance rom (the darky's evolution) would be your next gb choice? please tell me, so i can flash. i know i'm paranoic not trying to flash asylum, but after using nokia 6630 for a month, i prefer a gb note instead of even minimum risk of brick. thanks alot.

You can try Checkrom HD v6. I have good memories ...

I understand that...
I suppose Alliance should be ok, it all depends on the way you use your phone... I've heard different reports on ROMs from different people, so...matters to find one suited for you. If you want to switch, make sure you carefully read the installation instructions, although most GB ROMs are a straight flash.
I'm sorry that we've had so many bricks around here...they're definitely enough to discourage any newcomer to Android or to flashing for that matter. This is my 4th Android phone and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't seen so many "bricked" threads on my other phones' forums.
I just wish people would've read a bit more carefully when installing...that's what got them stumbling into the emmc bug...
Best of luck and hope you'll find your way into some safe ICS soon enough
If you need any help, just let me know.

[Q] Any tips for a brand new note?

My son is getting his GN today which I'm personally looking forward to as I'm getting the GN2 hopefully out in September.
Any tips for a brand new note? It will be rooted, but is it worth updating to ics or wait until jb?
Thanks!

the first thing you should know is to NEVER WIPE ON THE STOCK ICS KERNEL.
^^ That is IF you upgrade to ICS
Secondly, Its entirely upto you whether you should upgrade to ICS, some users stay on GB as they feel it has better battery life and doesnt have the few bugs that ICS has, If you do decide to upgrade, just be sure to read up on the how-to guides.
JB wont be out any time soon, officially (if at all) but im sure it wont be long before we see some ported / custom JB ROMs.
