The principle difference between CM9 and all other ICS releases is that CM9 contains a safe custom kernel.
Everything else ICS-based uses leaked LP1, LP5 and LP6 kernels which can potentially brick or harm your phone.
However, there are two CM9 Roms here in Development:
imilka's CM9 (discontinued, coming with unreliable kernel)
official CM9 (safe)

And speedwise? Is the latest (build 3) as fast / faster than ics stunner ? Thanks btw for the fast and helpfull replies!

CM9 is every bit as fast as Stunner IMO, but has a bit less customization features.

As I understand it, it was built using SGS2 sources.
And it runs wonderfully, Brocky, I can tell you that.

Yes, you can change the DPI to 213 or less from the settings, reboot and have your nice little tablet.

I just read about the danger of leaked kernels :
If you are running an affected kernel:
STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY. FLASH A SAFE KERNEL USING ODIN/HEIMDALL.
DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
I'm on ics stunner 1.4.26.1 with the leaked kernel stated below and want to go to cm9 but i read this :
- DON'T flash FROM i9220 LEAKED REPACK!
So can somebody explain what i need to flash before i can flash cm9 ??

You need to flash a stock GB ROM using PC Odin exclusively
And after wards root and install cm9 via cwm
N.B :if you use your stunner recovery for any sort of flash or wipe ,you'll risk bricking your phone
So please use PC ODIN to return to GB

does anyone has a link for a GB rom that is usable with odin??

Read, read, read. That's what sticky posts are for in android development.

There's a sticky in the development section that will tell you all you need to know. Just flash a safe gb or ics kernel before changing roms.

Hey, I also Will be getting my Note in the morning (just came from the HTC One S forums)
This hard brick issue worries me too. Is ICS official for the Note now ? And what are my chances of receiving it with ICS not GB ?
Is it as simple as you say ? Flash a safe Kernel then away I go ? I know how to use ODIN, Used it a million times for the SGS1, I just have this uncontrollable urge to use a custom ROM the moment i get my new phones lol, I'm not a big fan of stock to be honest.
Thanks guys ! Looking forward to being a part of this community

Only one way to brick your phone: Full wipe through CWM on ICS official and affected kernels, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
Use Abyss kernel 3.9 - 4.2 for wipe.

Flashing a custom rom on International Note

Hi guys,
I was a bit confused about flashing and many questions stormed my mind.
Ok my current situation is like this --> I have a rooted galaxy note.
I am on stock ICS 4.0.4
I have kingdroid v3.0 and cynogenmod 9 with me.
I know basics of flashing and will be able to flash them.
My question is that,
Is kingdroid rom safe from the emmc chip bug?
Which method is safer- flashing through ext storage or through odin?
If kingdroid is unsafe, then is it really worth flashing CM9?
Thank you in advance.

Kingdroid is based on CM/AOSP right ?
In order to flash that you need to be on GingerBread, GB is safe from the emmc bug so you wont have any issues.
flashing through CWM or ODIN are at the same safe / risk level, Theres a chance you can brick your phone using either.
However, You will only get the brickbug if you are on a Stock ICS kernel, You shouldnt encounter this as you will be flashing from GB.
Just follow the instructions on the ROM thread and you will be fine.

I agree with the azzle.
Steps:
-Dowgrade to GB
-Flash the abyss kernel [which will also "install" CWM]
-Wipe and flash a rom...
-\0/
I dont know anything bout this Kingstuff, but CM9 is great, or paranoid rom if you want the tablet/hybrid mode stuff.

Thank you guys...that was helpful...as the CM9 dev has said that it may contain lots of bugs i m thinking of some other rom....the thing i wanted kingdroid for is its SGS 3 apps and live wallpapers!! Anyone has any suggestions for any good roms...i want a good interface and a kernal which supports OCing.

Best JB rom + how do you get there from stock ICS?

Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS (4.0.4).
My phone has recently started occasionally/randomly restarting itself.
I've read that doing a factory reset or data wipe will result in a brick so was thinking of switching to a custom rom.
What's the best Jelly Bean rom? or isn't there a good stable one?
If not then what's the best stable/usable ICS rom and how do I get there from stock?
I know I need to flash GB via pc odin, but what after that?
There are warnings that say "FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
I just wanna be as clear as possible. Would hate to have a brick.
Thanks.

JB roms are still in development and not so stable for daily use yet. For flashing custom ICS you do not have to flash GB rom, just flash safe custom ICS kernel and flash custom rom through cwm recovery.
You can also wipe your current rom after flashing safe custom kernel. No need to flash custom rom just because you cannot wipe on stock kernel

For my personal of view, liquid smooth jb v2.0 beta is the best at the moment.
If you on rooted ics. You can flash jb rom thru safe kernel such as cm9 kernel, gb kernel or notecore kernel.
But please read carefully and understand what noted at op and follow the installation method.
Good luck.

Never Never Wipe on ICS as stated in op.
Now everybody knows JB is still under development and in preview. So I think you should have to wait for a stable version to enjoy the juice
For ICS you can try Cleanote v5,Kingdroid or RR for better performance and battery life
Here are the links :-

Here is the best thread for rooting and flashing custom kernel on Note- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Once you are rooted and on safe custom kernel you can follow the instructions on your chosen custom rom OP.

In terms of safer installation method. It have too many of opinions around note forum. Some will say flash any rom or nandroid by using abssy 4.2 kernel, some will say not neccesary to use abssy 4.2 kernel with the secure and safe kernel exists such as notecore and speedmod kernel.
Some will advice you must go back gb before flash cm base rom and some will tell you totally bull**** and not neccesary to go back gb before flash cm base rom with secure tw kernel around.
Confuse? For me, all of them have the right opinion and nothing wrong with them. Thats your own smartphone which cost about usd 500. If you scare of something, just follow the long installation method. If you feel lazy to take do such of long intallation step, you can always use the secure kernel to swap in between gb, tw and cm base rom.
But anyway, is your own asset, your own choice. You are the one who will take full responsibility for doing any modification, rooting and flashing. Not anyone else here.
You can always refer dr.ketan advice.

[Q] Help!! - Jump from ICS Stunner to another ROM

Dear Mods/devs any body who can help me!
I am stuck in a unique situation and no matter what i cant figure out a way out of this!
Before posting this have been through Abhisahara's thread on rooting and kernels, Dr Ketan's thread and many more but all confused!!
My problem is i am on the Superbrickable ZCLP5 kernel with ICS Stunner 1.4.19 which i have been using since it first launched without any problems.
As per gotbrickbug App, i have the problem of potential superbrick.
I need to go to another ROM but just cant figure a way out as now am more confused as to what really to do!!
I already have the hydracore kernel downloaded and the stock GB Rom(unrooted - V KL1) with me sitting on my PC alongwith PC ODIN.
Can anybody help me with installing the Paranoidandroid rom and which is the best way to avoid the emmc_CAP_ERASE problem!!
Many thanks!!

Take it easy, you're fine. If you've installed HydraCore it means you're on a safe kernel. Just download pc Odin if you haven't already.
What rom do you want to go to? I'd recommend for safest operation, install gb stock, then look at upgrade but it depends on which rom you want to flash.
Emmc bug is only triggered on stock kernels or under some cwm flashes which most people don't do, so take it easy, you're ok.

1. Flash hydracore kernel.
2. Reboot recovery.
3. Make sure you are on hydracore kernel.
4. Do what ever you want.
If you still being scare of doing this. Just follow jeetu suggestion. Go back to gb pre rooted rom by using pc odin. Then use mobile odin to flash rooted kernel. After get full root, go recovery and flash cm9. Done.

Flashing Hydracore doesn't affect root, you will be rooted and can flash PA directly using cwmr after flashing hydracore.

I would recommend you go with the long route of installing stock GB first. I saw the installation instructions of PA (i'm not sure though if that's an outdated tutorial or if it's still the current one to date), but it explicitly tells you that you need to be on stock GB before installing PA. I'm open to corrections though from those who have PA already installed but personally,it would be good if you start from scratch and work your way up to eventually install PA.
That's just my advice to you.

Hi,
I got a question, I have flashed the kernel to the hydracore one, have root and CWM but I am still on the ICS stock ROM. Is it possible to go directly to paranoid one without the need to downgrade to GB ?
By the way, can you provide a link to dl paranoid ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Ok but as I can see the ROM is only 160 MB as other ROM (stock for example are almost 700MB), I don't want to lose some essential functionalities by flashing to an incomplete ROM. How to know which file to dl from the Gapps is there on this one that you have the 500 MB missing ?
Thanks again and sorry for my poor knowledge

All aosp roms are that size.. It's a completely different experience as aosp roms are pure Google experience with no Samsung or any other retailers custom launcher and bloat..
It depends on Wich functionalities do you have in mind?
