[Q] CM9 instead of stock ICS? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I lived with stock ICS for about 10 days. I really prefer it to GB, but there are nuisances as well. Like everything getting stuck for about 10 seconds sometimes.
Do you think moving to a third-party ICS ROM would be a good idea? Which ROM is usually the best?

Cassie literom or cm9 nightly.

ICS... I don't think any wow factor in there.. I have been using ICS since its release. Now am in custom ICS... Here are the main concerned for me. (may be still I didn't figured it out a soution)
1.Social network??? No Facebook support for contacts and calendar (third party works good but what is the meaning of smartphone?)
2. Text to speech???? I couldn't find talk back and couldn't setup navigation speech guidance (being a big headache)
3. Smooth????.... Ahhh no.. Not comparable to windows 7.5 or some other low end HTC devices (like wildfire S exampe)
4. Speed??? Yes ofcourse... I can feel the difference.. But I am not a rocket launcher to be perfect in micro seconds in everything.. GB is not less in this.
5. Performance??? I don't think they have used real potential of the processor and graphics
6. Additional Features???? Where is it... Where is it... Where is it....
7. UI??? I can vote here..
8. Memory handling.??? I have used number of apps in GB and I never I got once that am running out of memory...
9. Safety???? OMG.. Definitely no wipes.. Till a bug fix.
10. User friendly??? I don't think anything has improved form GB.
These are all my perspectives... I'm not a skilled user or developer.. Definitely developer may have the fix for these.. But I feel a major update should satisfy a normal person like me. That I don't find in the update and setting up something should be smart and effortless.
Now am planning to go back to GB if I couldn't solve all these.

There aren't any known drawbacks in these ROMs I hope? Heard that not everything worked alright with the early ICS ROMs.

CM9, always go for AOSP. So much advantages over TouchWizzed roms - especially if you look at performance.

I have seen some developers using CM9 rom as base I think... Do you prefer anything particular?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

For me i swear by CM9, it`s solid, fast and most issues (should they arise) are solved within a couple of days (nightly`s). You will loose the S-pen options but there are apps in the Playstore for that.
AOSP/AOKP is also solid and fast but is more costumizable as for UI, but less updates .
I guess it`s best to both try them out and decide what suits you best.

Asylum. Totally lightweight, can be tailored into anything you want, smooth as silk and quick as a lightning.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going to try CM9 first. But it seems Galaxy Note isn't listed in the cyanogenmod.com supported devices list. Where can I get the latest ROM for Note?

I'm interested to know the answer to this as well. most if not all other ROMs pale in comparaison with Imilka's.
Sad to see the developement of two of the best roms for the note being discontinued.

The CM team has gone public by saying that they will officially support Note. So imilka thought its no nlonger required to continue his work off CM and hence stopped it. Sad but his work was definitely awesome!!
I liked Milka's work but more dev's working on CM9 for the Note the better.
When pulling from the Nightlies you do have to be picky. On CM7 for the Evo, there were many crappy builds that come out. Seems like every now and then they take a few steps backwards. But sometimes they have some pretty neat mods that pop up too.
He will be missed I hope he starts work on aosp again.

Thanks for support guys but unfortunately, or more likely fortunately, it seems my work isn't needed anymore.
I can not believe this :-(
I happily donated to your work
And am sticking to v3 now
This made me realize I spent most of my time (past few years) searching for the perfect combo (hardware/software)
Been flashing and testing everything I could from my first android sartphone, the holy HTC Hero then acer liquid->motorola milestone->galaxy s->htc desire z->optimus 2X->galaxy s2->galaxy note
Used to spend most of my time browsing the web searching for optimization, tweaks and so for my smartphone
For the first time I feel a great relief and start using my smartphone actually
Can't find the words to express my gratitude but you really brought my GNote to everything I expected from it
BIG THANKS, imilka ... and Cyanogen teams for galaxy s2 CM9, Samsung for the GNote and XDA of course !

Please at least continue work on the AOSP ROM. I'd definitely go back to that one from CM9 if you proceed with development for it. Tried all ROMs in the Dev section for the note and none is as polished and stable as yours.

i always loved your work (aosp and cm9 so far) and i'm kind of sad you discontinued.
anyway, i want to thank you again this way for sharing your roms with us!
To bad. I was just about to switch from stock to imilkas CM9. But now i will stick to stock 2.3.6

I think there is no reason why you should not,
The imilka's CM9 v03 delivers a very strong, reliable stable ROM for daily usage
And is by far a better option to stock GB, IMHO of course ...
Even it's discontinued, it's a very good option to go while waiting something more official comes out
Enjoy it !
imelka thank u so much for everything and we would appreciate if u can at least continue ur work till cm team starts releasing nightlys

I was running your cm9 from the first release and being happy with it 'till your stop. Thanks a lot for your time spent and the good work.
I'm so glad I found imilkas cm9. On on v3 at the minute, and it's certainly a keeper for me.
One thing concerns me though, I've only had a quick look around the net, but couldn't find anything official that the cm team will support the note, can anyone share a link?

I've only read rumors so far and someone listed some code commits from the cm9 repository. I've checked the Cyanogen Mod home page yesterday and haven't found any pointer to the galaxy note.

Which ROM is better?

Which one do you guys like better? CM9 or ICS333? It's hard to tell the differences....
I think that many things still don't work with CM9, at least that's how much i understood from its thread

Hi. I try a lot of different i9000 ICS roms. Now I'm using Elite RC 1.2. The rom is simply amazing. It's stable, smooth and rich of feature. Has some little bug, but it's a great work. I used OneCosmic, TeamHacksung, AOKP, Dark Night,... and the Elite version has something more. I haven't already try CM9.

Thank you so much, but it turned out that it's a GT-I9003, I was researching before getting the device and the shop told me it's Galaxy S, so i assumed it's I9000, but with I9003 I'm facing a much bigger problem now, it turned out that Samsung removed the Download/Recovery modes' 3 button combos, and I think that i have no other way around this but to get a USB Jig which we don't have in my country, so no idea what to do
Thanks for the help though.
I definitely prefer ICS333 of the two. Minimalistic, and amazingly fast.

Yes ICS333 is very smooth stable with good battery life. Infinitum by bhu1 is another stable ROM but 333 is better as you have camera to sd card option.

Getting the premium pack on gingerbread

Hi everyone,
Title is pretty self explanatory, I just wondered if it was possible to get s note and my story etc. on GB, because I prefer overclocking with the abyssnote kernel and just generally prefer gingerbread
Thanks in advance
Probably not possible.
Not a simple matter of getting an APK then?

No, because they won't be compatible with older android unless someone re-compiles and works out the bugs if even possible.
I can't imagine what ICS specific APIs/functionality it'd use... what's so radically different about ICS that makes it only usable on ICS?

That's a question I can't answer. If you really want premium suite, just get ICS and use a safe kernel like Franco or Speedmod.
Or, use Google to research ICS and GB and you port premium suite to GB and XDA people might love you for it.
Gotcha. Thanks I'll look into the stuff involved ... see if anything is possible
Cool community you guys have here.
About the kernel thing... I am not sure if overclocking is possible without abyssnote

Abyss kernel is a GB kernel.
Overclocking is possible on Franco. Don't think it is on Speedmod. Not quite possible on CM9 yet. And it works on Thor (however, Thor isn't supported on XDA because of licensing issues).
Yeah hence me wanting to stay on GB for abyssnote maybe I will try Franco but GB seems equally good for most things

Best, smoothest, fastest ROM for N7000? (4.2.x , JB)

Which ROM is the fastest without any lags for note n7000? I was considering asylum 10.1 black, supernexus 2.0 build 3, carbon, revolt, jellybeer?
Any suggestions? I really need a fast camera app, because i shoot a lot of pictures.
Appreciated.
Vinny,
i posted a [guide] PERFECT rom. In Development area. They closed it though
Stock look...NO LAGS and fast camera
Based on Blackcna wich is BLAZING fast
Black cna is actually fast.
Yeah, but its 4.1.1. I was actually looking for a 4.2.2 release. I have Official jb 4.1.2. German release and I am knew to flashing a rom. I was wondering how much speed will i gain? Would it be noticable? I am interested in Supernexus 2, Asylum, maybe Carbon. I really hate now lag in some aplications like facebook,G+, it takes forever to open Contacts,write messages, and so on. So, what do you think?
Carbon is my favourite give it a go. It's blazing fast and smooth like hell

Is it good? Or to use previous versions of CM10.1 kernel? (Because of battery draining issues?)

I would go with Carbon ROM or Asylum ROM (if you do not mind flashing the nightlys). I just switched from Asylum to Paranoid only because it allows a little more customization.
Asylum is great in all respects and in my setup/usage has the best battery life too. Carbon for stabilty and speed. Paranoid for customizable options including Phablet/Tablet/Phone UI.
I vote carbon rom then

I am using Carbon rom. Its much faster than official JB 4.1.2. but still i get some glitches, and a bit of lag while scrolling in some applications. :/ Is it because of the hardware, or i didnt do something good?
i install latest cm 10.1 kernel for n7000, wipe factory reset, wipe cache partitions, wipe darvink, and format system in mount and storage. Maybe i had to go to Mounts and Storage and mount /cache /system /data /preload and format /cache /data /preload before installing a carbon rom?

Lag fix

Hello forum users
can anyone share a recent lag fix for my i9000 please?
i rooted my device and i have got Busybox 1.17.1
kindly regards,
stepan12
Hey,
First update your busybox, and if you doesn't matter, I would recommend you to change to a custom Rom. I'm from the i9001 but I'm sure that in the development forum of the s1 are a lot of tweaks for GB. If not look into the i9001 forum

For my experience, stock ROM sucks and always lag. Ever since I updated mine to Supernexus 2.0 M1 ROM, my phone is just as stable as Nexus 4.
No joke. Do it to believe. If you don't wanna do, then hard reset your phone and format the entire drive. Should be pack with a lot temp files and caches.
