i think you should try ParanoidAndroid (been using it from the day it came out, love it and only a couple of very little bugs).
Another one is Asylum ICS. I haven't tried it but people say its very very good. Give them a shot and see what works for you.
Stock, like always, is crap.

Okay!
what about the battery life ?
i noticed that deep sleep doesn't work in my note.
is it jst with me or is it a firmware problem?

The current "stock" ics roms by Samsung are having kernels with the "brick bug" which are therefore unsafe.The best option is to use the 4.0 Roms which are based on CM9,franco kernels like Paranoid Android,MIUI,Asylum ICS and a few others.For more info read the warning posted by the mods in the development section.

Battery life is good in most of the rooms....as they are using the same base...and kernel is left to you to decide which you want...goku kernel is good right now...

thanks guys!
used ParanoidAndroid!
loved it, but didn't satisfy my needs, i bought NOTE and man it doesn't have any Note apps

I would suggest the new version of liquid smooth...2.3....and the Samsung apps can be found in themes section...or in the rom itself sometimes the dev puts it as a addon

can somebody please provide me with
SnsAccountFb.apk
SocialHub.apk
SnsAccountTw.apk
and the socialhub widget
im using KingDroid's Rom! [ICS] v2.0
i couldn't make them work on my SGN! FC's everytime!

-fast and has minor problems
-good features
features:
a lot unlock screen( minimum 5)
2G/3G
TW 4
applications and stuff from SGS 2

3D Perfomance

EXT4
so I was thinking about Juwes/gingercriskelo/SH/CM7/miui/or maybe something else?
what is the best for me, for what im looking?
thanks guys
NOTE- I have read A LOT of thread so far but I still cant choose
NOTE- cant try and install every rom.. I want to install a rom and that's it- be with him a long time
Why don't you want to try some ROMs?

You have to try a lot of roms. I use insanity CM 014.
Lunchbox115 all my application will be deleted over and over when I change rom..
I dont want to mess with this things.. lol dont wanna destroy my phone
actually, I cant "find by myself" all the features even if I try this rom..
imidalv- yeah I've heard about cm7 but as I said- dont know which one should I choose
please help me guys
testing them yourself is the only way to find out. I want similar things to you, and have so far been through Insanity, Juwe, ezBase, and am currently trying Ginger Real. Ginger Real and Juwe both have plenty of features, but insist on theming them which really annoys me!
I use F1 SGS V3.0 (NON-WIPE).
This ROM is awesome.....
@darix: you could use Titanium Backup to save and later to restore your apps.

This guy posts an almost identical thread begging people to tell him what ROM to install every few weeks. They just end up being spammy flame wars until the mods delete them.
As often as you all try to tell him he needs to investigate for himself, he will continue begging someone to tell him what is best and what to do.
It is sort of a fetish thing, I think.

Personally I liked the criskelo roms for everything you want. You really do need to try the roms for yourself. I am now a miui convert, very fast and responsive but does have stuff missing compared to other roms.
easy answer!!

thanks everyone ! I think I'll go on Juwes/gingercriskelo I dont like MIUI's team so much..
waiting for more people ..
rschenck- just shup up ok? nobody wants to read your negative comments

[Q] Getting my Bad boy today...

Hey Guys and Gals,
Just bought a Note, will be arriving in the next couple of hours.
Just a couple of questions -
Im coming from a GSII that has been running a custom ICS rom and really really love the features ICS brings and how it looks. I would like to run ICS on my Note from the word go as I feel going back to GB would taint my experience.
(Q) Am I correct in assuming that if I flash a custom ICS rom on my Note that I wont be able to use the S Pen features???
If im correct with the first question, then I will not flash a ICS rom immediately as I want to experience the S Pen and all its features to see if its for me. But I will want to Root it.
(Q) If I root my device will I still be able to update to the official ICS (When released) via a Update Notification or will I have to flash in a differant way???
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to becoming a part of the XDA Galaxy Note Community....
Martin

you are quite right my friend, the GB on note for now is perfectly fine if wanna try out the new features.. even i recently upgraded from s2 running ics and to be honestly the first day i was missing ICS badly but gb on note is different than when i first got s2 year back.. i am just waiting for the premium suite from samsung with specific new features for note and havent really been keen to try the cooked ics roms since i am more than satisfied having the note for over 2 weeks.. but eventually its what you want to do with your device that is the freedom of android but do give the forums a read as upgrading to ics has given many new users problems.. otherwise just root your LC1 ++ 2.3.6 rom and fall in love with note all over again.. enjoy your new phone and dont forget to get screen protector and some sexy cases cheers
You wont be able to use the s-pen's features on an AOSP/AOPK build. The only safe ICS roms at the moment are the CM9 based ones so you won't get any of the Samsung specific functions of the s-pen if you flash those.
You could flash an ICS rom based on the leaked firmwares and then use the DAFUQ kernel which to my knowledge doesn't have the flaws that could mess up your eMMC chip but that kernel is in alpha or beta status so some (minor) problems are to be expected when using it.
My advice, stay on GB for the moment. If you want to root, look for the thread in the Developer's section with the pre-rooted kernels. Just flash one of those with PC Odin and you're rooted without the chance of triggering the triangle and binary counter so you still have warranty. If you choose the same pre-rooted kernel as the one you are running now you should be able to OTA/Kies update your phone to the official ICS firmware when it's released but you'll lose root obviously.
There are some very good custom firmwares and great alternative kernels for GB in the Dev section as well if you still wanna tweak your Note.

i am agreeing with this person because it is very true do not flash ICS yet. not worth the hassel. GB with custom roms are fine...
i have had my note since november and i run checkrom v6 HD . works fine and flawless. no need to mess with leaked crap
Sorry abit new to all of this.

GB is Gingerbread, the current version of Android OS on the Note. ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich, the updated version that will be released by Samsung in the near future.
Most alternative launchers can be themed, look for themes for your launcher in the Play Store.

Some people can wipe with affected kernels as often as they want without problems. Just because you didn't brick, DO NOT advise other users that they will be OK.

[Q] <query> maximing samsung galaxy note

Hello.. I am just new here in xda.. I just bought my note 4 months ago and I think I am not maximing its potentials..My phone is already rooted.
I just want to ask your opinions on how can I make my phone cool/useful?
What rom are you on? Personally I believe the note should be more tablet like which is why I like cm based roms especially paranoid android 2.50. Gives you the option to have different display modes per app.
I also prefer a vanilla feel that helps with battery as all bloatware is removed.
This is impossible to advise really without knowing what you use the note for.

Flash 4.1.2 rom
You will feel like you have a note 2
Customising the Galaxy Note GT-N7000
It really depends what you mean by cool.........
Super fast - using kernels optimised for performance such as HydraCore
Bleeding edge Jelly Bean ROMs such as Paranoid Android
Rock solid TouchWiz ROMs such as Rocket ROM ICS and now JellyBean (based on recent leaked Samsung ROMs)
EyeCandy-tastic ROMs such as RocketMIUI
Pay attention to what these different ROMs don't do when you are considering which to flash and play with.
E.G. a lot of the stripped down ROMs and those based on CyanoGenMod don't have the Samsung productivity apps.
So if you love S-Memo, S-Note, S-Voice, look at the TouchWiz ROMs.
There are alternatives to all the Samsung productivity apps in the Google Play Store, if you find the ROM you want to stick with doesn't have them.
You are rooted, so you just need to get to grip with some of the basics of flashing ROMs..
Sujal has a great thread to take you through the whole process from out of the box to custom ROM and custom Kernel.
Chasmodo has a great thread which will help you understand what kernels are safe on the Note.
It is advisable to make a Nandroid backup of your current build through CWM before you start playing with different ROMs.
Then you can restore your working build through CWM if anything goes pear shaped.
The cool thing is that once you have got to grips with flashing and understand safe kernels, then you can flash as many different ROMs as you like until you find the one that suits you.
NOTE: Custom ROMs do not update OTA (Over The Air), through Kies or any other official update mechanism. You need to keep an eye on the thread for the custom ROM you are using and flash the updates from the thread.
Just in case you ever lose root (it does happen):
The best up to date guide for rooting is Dr. Ketan's Rooting Guide. (in my opinion)
Dr. Ketan really knows his stuff and will be happy to answer questions when he is around.
Phil3759 has another great rooting guide which may also help, and has potentially simpler methods for rooting.
You will need to pay attention to the N7000 specific elements of this thread to avoid any unintentional bricking.

[Q] Looking for a CUSTOM ROM

Hello All,
I"m having a Galaxy GT-I9000, which was originally from Europe. The last update I got from samsung is 2.3.3 (GINGERBREAD.XWJVH). I dont think samsung will publish any updates for this model anymore.
I would like to go with the custom ROM, I know It's not so easy to as I say.
Is there any easy way to decide and install it ASAP. Plz guide me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance

Actually this question was asked countless times already. I'm not trying to be smart or something like that but there are several similar threads already.
Try to look within this General Forum and in the Question & Answer Forum and you will surely get an answer.
Install slimbean. if unsatisfied try flashing others.

Just search a bit... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665.
Make a clean install of ICS333 2.0.1 ROM. The most stable and memory friendly ROM so far (ever). It's very fast also.
The JB roms are on par - try SlimBean or CM10 (but flash Semaphore 2.6.0 kernel on CM10). Don't try JB 4.2 - tt's very new . Wait 1-2 months for good releases.
without creating a new thread, but along the lines of this subject already, can I ask, if there are any custom rom's that include the official samsung email application? I know that's specific, but its for some testing..A port from another samsung device maybe,,,tia
I am very happy with Slim Bean. It is "slim", and very battery efficient. I could use a full battery charge on 3.5 days, with mail, sms and few phone calls.
Just be careful with the last version, 3.0, that has a battery drain problem. I can only get 2 days from a load.
I used RemICS 1.3.1. very good, but lags at times.

Choosing the right ROM 2013-06

Hi All,
this is my first post and I hope someone could help me in choosing the right ROM for my Note.
It's a long time I follow this forum and first of all I would like to thank you so much anyone who is working harder to give a new life to our devices that Samsung is not supporting for marketing strategies!
I started my trip in the white rabbit's hole with Ultimate N7000 ROM 5 because I wanted 4.1.2 TW, but later as I found that my device was not so fast as I expected I flashed my device and I've used SuperNexus M1 ROM with an addition of the NX-Kernel.
I found SuperNexus so clear and not so bad to use (my device score around 10000 in antutu (antutu could be not reliable but stock TW was at 7000) ) but I found also this firmware "poor" in term of functions that will give me a fast/easy to use device aswell (for ex. in quick settings the GPS toggle is missing, etc).
I also found some post in which someone told that SuperNexus is based on CM10 work (why do not flash CM10 ?), so what do you think is a complete Android to be used for anyday use? I'm so confused!! Stunner, Vanilla, Rootbox, AOSP, CM10.1, so many ROMS in the white rabbit's hole!!
I want a stable ROM as I'm using my phone for my work and I can't flash my phone each day to test a new rom.
Thank you so much for helping me! I think this will help also someone is approaching for first times in this forum
Cheers
Max
If you want a ROM that's stable, with high number of features and customizations with a considerable battery performance, download the PAC ROM.
I use Slim and its perfect for me, no issues what so ever. I love it from my SGS days and thats the Rom I flashed when i got Note.
Whats perfect for you? Hmmmm... No one but you can decide mate... Try some Rom over the weekend maybe and decide what works for you.
Good luck
