Hi People
I am new to the world of custom rom. I just rooted my phone and i am looking into proceeding with installing ICS through a custom rom.
After some research i have narrowed it dow to two choices.
Paranoid Android vs. KingDroid NoteMania
Paranoid Android is fascinating but after correspondence with a member from here he has told me that:
"in russian forums many peoples have *mmc* issues with "paranoid android" latest version, so choice is obvious for me: Kingdroid note mania is better, just because it's safer."

Is that true?
About KingDroid now i have nothing to report or ask. It looks perfect, except for the fact that it doesn't have tablet mode which i really want to get the feel of.
Now some general questions.
I have heard that custom roms have minor but frustrating glitches in various things.
I was wondering what i should expect...?
Anything other noteworthy that i might need in order to make an informed decision?
Ps. Right now i have a problem with my Note. It breaks off deep sleep spontaneously as if awakening from a bad dream.
Will a custom Rom fix that? Will it bring me other nightmares?
What is your experience with these two roms?
Thank you in advance people.

I suggest you go throughout the respective post in the development section. For PA, it is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802
Start at posts after June 27, then you skip problems of previous versions.
I went through almost everything and it appears there are hardly any issues. I personally do not have any, except that I have not yet figured out how to change the sort order for my movies in the Gallery app; it appears it always sorts by file date or so. Anyway, off topic and not really a bug I guess.
PA is quite unique in the sense that you can have phone mode and tablet mode apps simultaneously. I like that. On ICS, I was very disappointed about the email app. In PA, this is simply great.
To install PA, you go back to GB or any other safe kernel, hence there is no emmc issue as someone suggested to you. PA itself uses a safe kernel of CM9, so no issues here either.
About Kingdroid, no idea. I will stick with PA as it fits my needs.
I suggest that's exactly what you should do: try for yourself to see does it fit. It's like with shoes. Asking someone else whether they fit is pointless...

If I helped you I'd appreciate your THANKS!
Just try all the roms out here.
Only after you have tested a few roms can you tell which one suits your needs.
I've tried almost all of them here in xda: Rocket Rom, Kingdroid, Asylum, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, Ganbarou, Cassie's, AllianceRom, LiquidSmooth, Criskelo, Chrack. Although CM9/AOSP/AOKP roms have a million possibilities of customization i found that tw based roms suit my needs better. After many flashes i'm currently on AllianceRom which i think it's the best for me, smooth, customizable, stable.
I have narrowed down to exactly these two ROMS. PA or KD. I wish someone did feature comparison

Well before i used to use DarkyRom (for NOTE is alliance ). Gnex was with paranoid android.
But for me know for the first time one question crossed my mind. Do I really need to avoid TW for example and the benefits I have and love from use of S-PEN.
So I am now looking for a good Stock rooted ROM. not AOSP or AOKP anymore.
I am loosing too much with them. And I need NOTE mostly for business so my choice is obvious.

Clear answers to clear questions.. It only depends on your own likes.. Try both and see..
PA its as safe as any other safe rom as it uses cm9 kernels (well known to be safe) Also Kindroid its safe because they use a safe kernels in aroma installer...
And Kindroid DOES have tablet mode just it does not support any kind of touchwiz ui they use apex launcher (aosp looks like launcher) for this mode

hello all
i did a search to find the most used and spreaded kirnel and i've found it! it was a poll and it went to SpeedMod for over 40% i guess..
now i'm searching for a ROM i did search the Forum for a List of Roms threat and i've found it also..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
My question is..
The thread above DOES NOT have a poll.. and i don't know which Rom is new and which one is on the top :S
Is there any poll thread in here???
It depends on what you want in a ROM I guess, everyone has different opinions.
DarkyROM 10.2.2 is a good ROM to start with which uses JVQ (2.3.4). I was using this for a while before I started to make my own ROM. DarkyROM also comes with the DarkCore Kernel.
So far my custom ROM uses JVT (2.3.5) and Semaphore Kernel 1.8.1, I'll be releasing it soon.
the best way to see which one you like is to try several of them which you think you might like and choose one after, all opinions here are objective... everyone has different expectations from their phone...

I'd recommend darky's 10.2.2!!! just installed it on my friend's phone, and I LOVE IT more than my sgs4g hahaha. What a great rom. Although, it's the first custom rom I've ever come across (there are none for my phone, well, not GB ones).

Let me elaborate,
Darky's 10.2.2 was my first custom rom, I just flashed it today. I have not had any other experiences with other custom roms, in fact, this i9000 was given to me just to upgrade to Gingerbread. So I chose Darky's because of the good comments and the features it had (like BLN, support for i9000t, etc).
I can then, confirm, that this ROM succeeded my expectations, and works like a charm. The device is now faster than my galaxy S 4g, and battery life appears to be good enough. So, I would recommend you at least try this ROM, because it's confirmed to be working as it should!
I should mention however, that there might be a better suited ROM for you out there.
I had no problems flashing this. It's really easy, but you might need to flash 2 roms, one using odin (darky's 10.2 RE) and then the extreme edition using CWM. This might sound like a hassle, but I was done in less than 30min. Easy to install and looks great.
No issues.
Good luck!
CM7. Hands down.
trust me...i have galnet miui on my phone with tkglitch kernel...the best combination ever i tried
however, all CM7 based rom are great
My wife's captivate has been freezing up a lot recently. She finally has asked about rooting. What is a good first ROM for her captivate?

Not the right forum for this question.
In my opinion, however, rooting will not really improve the speed of the phone. A fresh install of android (rooted or otherwise) will afford performance boosts simply because its less cluttered with apps and whatnot.
That being said, there are tons of great roms out right now. If the phone is on gingerbread bootloaders, you may want to try some older GB roms that have been highly tuned for the captivate. Ice cream sandwich roms are pretty good as well right now, though as many OPs have said, simply installing the latest OS does not magically give your phone a second core and double its RAM.
tl;dnr: Look a few pages back for a gingerbread rom and follow the instructions for the most stable and fast option. If you want to try to ICS, I think its pretty good at the moment. Never had any speed issues on my captivate and I use AOKP Build 26 currently.
Here, I'll just cut straight to the point for you
1. Cyanogenmod 9 - If you want a (somewhat) clean ICS look along with decent stability and speed.
2. Doc's ICS Rom v5 - If you want the samsung touchwiz interface.
Take your pick. Those are the best roms out there imo. Or you could always try MIUI.us
Get Serendipity 7! Best battery life I've ever had, fast and amazingly stable. Not the best GUI when compared to roms like MIUI, but it's a good solid ROM.
You could also get MIUI, but it's not quite as stable and it's a bit slower. I just like it cause the themes are awesome and I'm a customization freak.

read the Q&A sticky " How to install custom captivate roms from stock " (also in my sig)
I wrote it. its super easy to follow to install ANY rom.
Normally "best rom" threads are shutdown, there is no best, only opinion, BUT.. "best for your wife", I get the point! LOL
2.2 based rom - firefly 3.0 rom with onix kernel flashed after - hands down best way to go for useability and battery.
Gingerbread 2.3 based roms - there are quite a few to choose from, from stock feeling to many added features. pick one built on KK4
ICE CREAM SANDWICH roms
CM roms are packed with features but has a long list of bugs. probably not the best choice for your wife. *CM7 is gingerbread base CM9 is ICS based
AOSP is google stock. - pretty nice and stable
AOKP is stock plus new features. - really nice and stable *with glitch kernel added after and nstools installed. - what i run! PM me if you want a link to this rom prebuilt with glitch kernel and a few added extras for easier install.
Dude, please read. It isn't that hard. If 11 and 10 year olds are doing this every day, then you should be able to do this no sweat. If you read the only OneClicks you will see are SauROM and stock ROM's. Others have to be flashing using Odin or CWM recovery. If you don't know what that is then you need to search and read some more... Sorry but this is how everyone learns, at least it used to be until people just came in here expecting things to be handed to them. And that is why XDA dev's are leaving and keeping their work to themselves...
stock? really?
I'd disagree with stock ROM being the best. After fixing so many GB KK4 bugs...
And if you run any of my ROMs you WILL have better performance, because all PNGs are reduced to 256 colors. And JPGs, mp3s and oggs are processed too. Then repacked with KZip. Jars repacked with Kzip too. Overall smaller and faster system.
I share it only from my good heart, and since it is really based on other people work. Enjoy peeps!
And I can process Apex GB if there is interest...
Thank you so much for your answer. I will do some reading.
Thanks again friend.

My ROM, mosaic, has an Odin flashable version, not a one click but its only like 1 more step to load the .tar into the pda slot into Odin.
I agree you should read up and know what you're doing. Just throwing that out there...
If you choose an ICS based ROM you should be aware of this issue forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303. It seems to be randomly effecting captivate phones. I'm not saying this will happen but if it does you will have two options:
1) Face a steep learning curve (that installing a custom ROM seem trivial) and still only have partial phone functionality due to no internal SD card.
2) Just upgrade to a new phone if able & willing.
I think the latest ICS ROMS are not very prone to that issue. I'd go with Doc's Master ICS v6, tons of functionality out of the box and customizable if you're so inclined.

Doc's V6 is based on AOKP 4.0.3; I was using Dark Night 3 which is based on AOKP 4.0.4 when I had this problem. Therefore, I was actually using a more recent ROM than the one you are recommending. There are plenty of people out there using ICS without any problems and it may work great for the OP; I just think it should be an informed decision.
For my wife's phone I keep kk4 roms on it, they are all good.

I would have to agree with the statement that there is no best. Everyone has a different expectation for what a rom should do and be. With that being said I will offer my opinion on a starting point for your wife. SimplyStockV2.0 is what I'm currently running. I've used several others and so far this is my favorite. As you can see from the name it is very similar to stock minus all the junk that never needed to be there and a custom settings option within the regular settings. Battery life is good and it has run faster than a couple other roms I've used that claimed to be "fast". Good luck.

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

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.
Hi,
Which of the custom ROM do you find better than stock ROM, based on your own experience. What I'm missing by using stock ROM ? you think

I guess the answer is, it depends like everything else. Custom ROMs come in a great variety, AOSP, AOKP, TW, hybrid ones like Paranoid. Just flash and try
Personally I like TW. I tried Criskelo and Kingdroid, also tried paranoid(non TW). I liked Kingdroid the best. It has the newer version of TW(as opposed to the stock ROM), somewhat better battery life, more fluid IMHO, better performance overall.
ROMs are more like, to each their own. Try it, you have nothing to lose. I tried a few over a weekend, and settled on one that I dont change often because of lack of time.
I agree..
I agree, too.
Just one more suggestion as this could help you determine faster if the rom does what you need/want:
Root your phone and use a backup software (titanium or backup root, for example), saves you time
If you do this already nevermind
But to answer your question directly: most of the roms focus on smothness and stability, others implement whole new features (in paranoid rom you can choose for every app if you want the tablet or phone version) or make it easier to tweak your system (liquidsmooth would be my example for this). Also, there are several JellyBean ROMs which only miss a few features so you are always up to date and don't have to wait for Samsung's infamous touchwiz-"magic" to be applied...
And it actually teaches you a thing or two about Android and the development for it (at least it did for me )
Hope I could help
First off-hold your guns!
I know JB as such isn't out yet, and can't be expected to be as stable as ICS... But, still- after watching video reviews of some custom ROMs, one asks themselves, if they should give it a go...
Ok, so I am running stock (LAME!!!, I know ) GB, rooted and couple of launchers make it more interesting, sure... However, after browsing through this lovely and extremely helpful forum, I noticed that there are people who are already enjoying the benefits of running JB ROMs, or very good and matured TW based ICS custom ROMs...
1. So, I know ICS stock kernel has been a bit of a problem, what that just 4.03, or did 4.04 fix that?
2.Kill be for being so easily pleased, but I do find my Note and its current ROM already pretty smooth... I know all the bits that ICS makes it better and even more so JB, but considering all the things ICS brought, is there a point of trying JB, except for experimenting?
3. One thing I am so after, is that bit where from the lock screen you have like 3, or 4 options, one of them being going straight into the camera mode. I don't know if that is only JB, but I could really use it, as the old way (press the menu button, swipe to unlock, then press the camera icon) so many times made me miss the scene I wanted to take a photo of. So, any info on that would be much appreciated.
4.So much hype around GN II, but seeing that so many features are being ported to GN I custom ROMs, I am only after a ROM which will have those new and useful S III and GN II bits sawn onto the old(er) jacket.
5. I am in no rush, so do you think that in 3-4 weeks something more stable JB based will be available(official JB update should be rolling out soon, no)?
Big thanks to all you guys here, not just for answering the questions, but also all the tutorials and topics we noobs can find here... Keep up the good work.
See custom jb roms are stable like cm10 aosp liquidsmooth etc.you will feel smooth quality on it and butter project.
Ics 4.0.4 is very stable and has many mods and a good battery life too.
So lastly its your choice which one to flash.
Hit thanks button pleass

Answering the title of your thread, there are no TW-based JB roms yet. All the TW-based ROMs are ICS. So if you are looking for smooth and reliable TW-based ROMs I would go for Kingdroid (ICS). If you want Jelly Bean you have ParanoidAndroid, Liquidsmooth, but these are not TW-based.
And answering the 5 questions in the contents of your post:
1. The problem is not with the kernel, the problem is with the chip itself, the *workaround* is using a modified kernel that does not use the MMC_CAP_ERASE command, so to answer your question, no the problem isn't solved and it won't be solved unless Samsung recalls all the units and gives out new ones without the bug. You will have to be careful when upgrading to ICS/JB because you will need to use safe kernels.
2. Jelly bean is definitely smoother than ICS, it is worth upgrading IMO.
3. That is the ICS/JB unlock screen that comes in stock android, and it is also available in most AOSP/AOKP ROMs. It is not available by default in Touchwiz but you can download that lockscreen from the Play Store as a standalone app and replace it.
4. Not all the Note2 features have been ported to the Note1, for instance the multi-window view is not available on any ROM yet as far as I know.
5. I have made the switch because I can't stand the look of Touchwiz, the complete disregard of Google's Holo design is for me a reason enough to switch to AOSP/AOKP, that said even when official JB ROMs start rolling out I probably won't come back to Touchwiz.
I think that you need a stock ICS TW rom, maybe RocketRom or Alliance v2.1 rom. I have tried a couple JB roms, but it feels like you have giant nexus insted of a great note.
If you want stock, pick up a last 4.0.4 xxlrt or ddlr9 or something similar, depends where you live but it's not too important. After that, just flash PhilZ kernel and you are safe, disable all aplications that you dont need, and thats it.
Or if you want a custom rom which is great like stock and cool like custom, choose rocketrom v12 or alliance v2.1
Hope that helps!
Ooooohhh-dann so...
Well, that clears so many things...
I mean, am no Samsung fan boy. It is just that I edit many pdf docs on the go, and other TW apps are very useful as they bring the functionality and the precision of the S Pen... As I said. I even find stock GB smooth, so I believe ICS should feel like heaven for me.
BIG QUESTION = so, since the problem was the chip, not the stock kernel itself, and the only solution is a modification of kernel, surely Google will include the workaround in a new JB update, no?
I haven't updated OTA to ICS, because I was scared of bricking the phone, or something.... Are the updates incremental, or so I need to update to official ICS and then to JB, or will I be able to go straight to JB (official one)?
I think I might go for Kingdroid (ICS), or Sweet ROM... Though, I from reading their respective threads, I get the idea that less people have issues with Sweet ROM....
Thanks again...
Ota update from GB ROM is safe because GB kernel is safe. Or can download stock ICS from Dr Ketan and flash with pc odin. Then flash appropriate Philz kernel (can do it from stock recovery). You will then be on safe stock kernel (only brick bug is disabled) with advanced CWM recovery. Once on Phils u can backups/restores and flash any ROM u like. Just have to do full wipe before flashing new ROMs.
