how good is the current ICS leak?

Should I stay with my LA6 until official ICS arrives? or is the current ICS leak pretty much it?
I have read that the leaks also increase the binary count, is it right?

im sticking with LA6 until a proper release of ICS is available, i got tired of flashing updates week in week out when i had my HD2 and only haviung certain things working
depends on if you can live with the current bugs or not

I'm having a few issues with the Chinese leak.
1.GPS issues cant get a lock (seems to be a baseband issue.
2. Names on my contact list have all changed to Chinese names lol. Strange one
For ultimate stability stick with LA6 trust me it's not worth the aggro

For the Chinese leak, fast and stable except for one big problem: sleep of death nearly daily, so now in GB again.

I tried 3 ICS roms so far, and reverted back to Darky 3.3 each time...
(compatibility, chinese remains, root issues, unstable recovery, etc)
I hope there will be a stable AOSP version out there soon, Talk 4 is very good!
Why can't the Note be Google's flagship phone, ffs ? xD

I am running the Chinese leak, gps locks for me, wifi works, phonebook names are in English and caller id also works, sod only when battery is low. So the outcome is different for different people. Been running it daily for 3 days now.
I did full wipe first, then loaded the rom through desktop odin without pit file. After that flashed the ZCLP1 over as chainfire version doesn't include modem. In regards to yellow triangle, cos it's ICS, just use triangle away app to remove triangle and reset counter to 0, no need for jig.
So far all working well for me. Also I run it at 240dpi, so I am using go launcher and exDialer as replacements. Some people have problems with default SMS, but cos I use go sms pre can't comment cos I have no problems. Lastly, WhatsApp also doesn't fc for me.

little off topic but i dont believe samsung doesnt have a full working ics rom for n7000 from the beginning. i think they are just entertain us with the early ics rom samples. samsung and google want nexus to be the only ics phone on the market for a while longer.

I've been running the i9220 leak since it leaked. I've gotten a random reboot ONCE - it was actually last night. I was at 30% battery. I had just recently reflashed from mobile odin cause my /system partition was borked. I've had just random issues, but it's been a daily driver no problem.
No two chips are the same though - give it a shot - support chainfire and do it right via Mobile Odin. Hate it? Mobile odin back to stock and flash a new rom.
Just my 2cents.

Hello all. I am running the Chinese ICS leak right now as my daily ROM. It is very stable and VERY smooth. Trust me, I am a stickler for functionality, I wouldn't settle for something that keeps crashing all the time. My ROM is the Chainfire repack and you can GO HERE for a guide on how to install it correctly. You can also read some user reports. Give it a go!

The conspiracy lol. I've been running the leak since release and haven't had a deal breaker problem yet. I've experienced screen of death a few times. Battery life is excellent and nova launcher makes it 10 times better. There's not a single thing that gingerbread did that I can't with ics.
My suggestion is to start fresh and leave your gingerbread titanium back ups uninstalled.
Only thing I'm missing is tablet mode.

ICS is amazing on the Note, been using it for a few days.

good enough for everyday use but still quite far from a release candidate.

I've been using the ICS repack from day dot and I can't go back.
It's awesome for me and the performance is amazing in comparison to ever GB rom I've tried before.
Strangely I haven't had any of the issues people have been complaining about (gps, SOD etc)

I wish there was a way to solve the godamn SOD. All I know it's affected by battery life, and the lower it goes, the more frequent it happens.

[Q] LAG? Stock ICS vs. ...

Wanting thoughts or answers on why there is so much noticeable lag on Stock ICS? Ive used stock GB, laggy. Leaked ICS. Laggy. CM9 buttery smoooooth. Stock ICS. Lag :/
Now I can understand that Samsung put all the extra crap into touchwiz and their roms... And CM9 is simplified/optimised. But I also just put Criskelo's ROM on and it TOO is buttery smooth YET is LPY based with touchwiz and some crap. So I fail to understand why the german stock release is so laggy. As well as GB. Is this a conspiracy to push the average user to faster devices because at times i felt my note was less than satisfactory then I put on CM9 or this Rom and i remember why i love it again. Bit of a rant but hey. Surely Samsung of all Android phone manufacturers would have a development team capable of making a high quality near flawless rom...performance issues just suck the fun...
...and in terms of lag. Screen transitions. Page scrolling. Widgets and general poorer quality stuttering.

did u flash cf-root kernel with stock lpy as i noticed lag too with cf root,
but when i flashed stock lpy without cf root it is very smooth

Flashed the stock (unrooted) German firmware using Odin. All went fine but since then I didn't like the speed of the device anymore. The note was noticeable slower, apps needed an extra second to start up.
(b.t.w. bricked my device while trying to get back to GB)

Hey Ce! Sorry for OT, but how did you try to go back to GB? What steps have you gone through?

is this a for serious, real post?..
I am on an older rooted KKA stock ROM and really dont see any noticeable lag... hopefully you are aware that the largest contributor to perceived lag is the user and the decisions he makes, rather than the firmware.

I was on the lpy kernel lately. flashed abyss note 4.2 and restored my nandroid back upo of liquid. oh man i know what i lost when i was in lpy crap

I guess I made the wrong choices. For a good advise for returning to GB you have to look elsewhere on this site.
@Mystic38: I'm talking about serious lags on a fresh system, without any third party software installed.

Of course is real.My phone(ICS) also lag,battery life is terrible,wifi signal is really bad,phone freezes(for about 1minute),Voice control app crashes, screen sometimes does not register the touch,etc... Funny,games work really well.
Today I discovered another disturbing thing - my screen is burned-in. If I have some white page(picture) opened in landscape mode, I can see status bar burned-in on the left side. Status bar is black(so screen diodes are turned off) and it's always on the same place. If the entire screen is white I can see status bar like brighter colour,wifi&mobile bars(avast icon,etc) are in darker yellowish color. Also the rest of the screen is darker-yellowish. And I have my phone only 3.5 months! My old Motorola Milestone have better white color.

If I could I definitely would help you, however, I've done too many things in order making my Note work again I no longer can differentiate between the "do" and "don't". That's why you shouldn't ask me

I know this is kind of cliche, but always make sure you do a full wipe. I was having some minor annoyances here and there when I first flashed ICS over GB, but then when I reflashed after a full wipe, every thing has been butter smooth.

Yeah i always do full wipe. As for the perceived lag. No...definate lag. Criskelos lpy is not laggy at all. Apart from minor text input. Probably flashed 50 times with diff variants so im well aware (IMO). I was thinking it was maybe to do with hardware/software acceleration and battery life savings but the battery lifw on stock was nothing fantastic by any stretch. I guess time will tell with any other future stock releases whether it was just oushed too early. From all the variants i can see this phone is more then capable so heres hoping...

[Q] Why ICS on i9000?

I really dont understand why everyone loves ICS on the galaxy s so much. I am using it now, but im getting quite a few problems. Its pretty unstable, and compared to GB its pretty slow in terms of CPU and animations. I would like to go back to gingerbread, but on ICS the Play Store is so fast, and the whole OS looks nice, what gingerbread rom do you guys this is fast and stable? I guess I can tweak the rest..
Thanls

Check out DarkyROM v11 Black Edition, a CM9 based slick ICS rom. Very fast, stable and smooth! You will never want to go back to GB!!

If you have time, try different ICS roms and kernel and choose the best rom for your sgs

I'm using CM9 and its awesome. super smooth and fast. way better than my experience on GB.

ICS? Haven't seen any better for my i9000!

use debil kernel and cm9..

Use Slim ICS v 4.0 or 4.1 (stock kernel) its the most stable ROM i've ever seen.
-> 500h Uptime and no random reboots
-> 2 days battery life with normal usage (sms, telephone, internet/rss)
-> btw. my Battery is 2 years OLD
-> really really really smooth
-> you should only change this ugly stock launcher to your favourite launcher (i prefere Apex Launcher for example :good
;D
greetings
Ehomer

I use cm9 with devil kernel and I get a day of battery with a 2 year old battery. It is EASILY 4x faster than gingerbread. I almost ripped out my hair for the first 6hours I had the phone I get no random reboots or anything, its super stable

Use a different ROM ...I use Remics-ux...Stable,fast,smooth. Try it and you get the answer

Clean AOKP 1.1.6 on my SGS. There is no troubling issue since then. The stock froyo DDJP2 was a big pain in the neck. The main advantage of all ICS builds is its open source so the build size is mostly 80mb to 150mb thereby saving precious size on the phone. The more stock elements and libs in the rom and more ram usage and more lags. ICS may have slow scrolling on some roms/devices but overall its absolutely a try. There is nothing much in a heavy overloaded Samsung bloatware where we don't have so much apps use in daily usage. ROMControl is a very important feature incorporated in ICS roms. LCD density is a superb option for those who prefer 160 to 192 dpi. IME switcher is also good for using custom keyboards. As an example I used a Desire HD till last week and the ICS Icecoldsandwich rom was flawless till the last touch. ICS looks plain vanilla, but it increases the user satisfaction and the true value of hardware is felt. Overall the battery lasts more on ICS builds if not too overclocked. In short, ICS is a platform for all those who were fed-up with the low performing cpu/ram/hardware/software related stock junkware of any phone.

or you could try "tiramislim" itś based on slim ics, but imho its better no bugs, much smoother then gb.
anyway, i think you tried not the right rom. there are so many ics-roms out there, most are quite stable. try different roms, or read the threads of the roms before, then you can see how others think about them

Definitely cm9. :3

My phone does this when battery is critically low, i believe it's just trying to suck the last bit of power.
There's also a bug in early ics which causes weird glitches which disappear after locking / unlocking screen
Maybe it's time for a rom upgrade some nice features in the new jb leaks
Or try switching to hydracore kernel, abyss is a bit dated now

Hi the phone is nearly a year old is it time for a new battery?

Hydracore is double safe and is probably the best available custom kernel for the Note.
And as for the battery, It should last more than a year even for extreme users, But... Theres no harm in having a spare one, Especially when you're out and about, you can pick them up for cheap so its worth considering.
Anyway, Switch kernels (and maybe ROMs too if you're interested) and see if it makes things improve

Cool I will try that and report back let's not hope for a brick....

I dont think it will stop after changing the rom... im on jb and still face the issue...
This is already been discussed... its due to low battery level... so ur phone display flickers when ur phone tries to use the remaining amount of energy left...
If ur battery doesnt last longer with each cycle then i think u need to replace ur battery

Triangle away worked great on hydracore thanks. Can any one advise which rom to use for best battery life, and got a replacement Anker battery on the way

for a good stock looking ICS ROM, try CleaNote, its made by the same dev as the hydracore kernel and they work perfectly in harmoney together.
its super smooth, fast, stable and great battery life.
If you want to try JB, id recommend RocketRom v3 or TMT 5.0, Both are excellent with great devs too (RRv3's dev has just left ) they have all the great jb features and are stable, sometimes there is a little lag and the occasional bug, but these are based on leaked firmware so its to be expected.

Yeah, all roms can be used with hydracore except the new Touchwiz jellybean.
Paranoid android is great its definitely worth testing the only thing is u lose spen gestures and apps, but there are alternatives in the market.

Hmmmmm might have to give that one a miss then....

[Q] Which custom rom?

I'm a noob when it comes to Android roms and such.
I have a rooted samsung galaxy s infront of me now but I have a question.
I have read that a lot of roms disable a couple of original features, like the google play store, video camera etc.
Now my question; Is there a custom rom that gives you anything like android 4.0+ for example with no features being lost?
Yes I have heard about CM but I read that it does remove a couple of features which I need..

What features will you miss? Play store and video work perfectly on cm10 and 10.1 based ROMs plus they trend to have lots of extra features compared to stock. I'm running Mackay ROM based on jelly bean 4.2 (cm 10.1) with semaphore kernel. Stable and really fast.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm using RemICS-JB_4.2 , and for me it is very stable and fast, UI is from SGS3, worth to try...

The mackay rom is very good

So it's just a myth that you will lose some stock functions? Don't trust me on my word but I think I've read that it removes HD filming or something.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

You can enable xl ram (around 400 mb) in some kernels such as semaphore and devil which can mean you loose hd video, but by default it is disabled in almost all ROMs. So if you leave ram alone it's not a problem and I still have 720p video. Tbh there is a patch now that makes 720 work with big ram anyhow, but I manage just fine with the 389mb standard with semaphore so I haven't tested this.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

So Semaphore kernel and CM as ROM leaves all normal features intact? Perfect. Just one last question; a lot of people prefer CM9 over CM10. Any specific reason for this?

Because CM9 is more stable. CM10 requires more resources to run on our old phones.You might not get enough RAM.I also noticed some games force closed on CM10.But they all work nicely in CM9.

Thanks for the answers.
Something popped in my head so that leaves me with 1 more question; I currently have hardcore speedmod kernel and I did the lagfix (transfer to EXT4) and it took some SD space of course. Now before I go to Semaphore kernel should I first somehow uninstall the lagfix? And how?
Thanks!

This is becoming less of an issue as development goes on but it is a factor to consider. I have to overclock cpu to get high end games to work. But you can't even install most of them on stock 2.3 so depends what you're after. I prefer the extra features that cm 10.1 gives. Can always flash to cm9 stable and give it a go and then upgrade from there, sensible to go to cm9 then 10 anyhow. You will have to full wipe between 9 and 10 though. So titanium backup is the best app you will ever install.

I'll just loan this thread a bit because I have a similar situation. I've only changed ROMs few times and I'm kinda noob myself too. I'm looking for a fast and stable ROM. Few days ago I installed ELITEMOVILS:s 4.2.1 galaxy nexus stock rom. It's good but cant get the wifi working properly so I thought I'd try another one. Should I go for JB 4.1.2 or for 4.2.1? Are the 4.1.2 releases more stable and is there a big difference in features and speed? Also battery life is quite important factor for me when choosing ROM (BTW has anyone found a good replacement battery with longer battery life than the stock one?). I dont update ROMs that frequent so it would be important that the release would be stable and functioning.

Slim Roms are pretty lightweight 4.2.1 beta 1 for me has been pretty stable and responsive. I also downloaded and flashed Semaphore 2.9.0s afterwards.

4.1.2 should be more stable than 4.2.1 as its been developed longer and even has gotten the official stable version released.
4.2 does bring some new features like all new releases but not as major as for example 4.1 brought, for this reason Google decided to keep the Jellybean name for the newer version.
Regarding battery life your best bet is a Gingerbread ROM, but frankly I'm satisfied with my CM10 in that regard.
I'm using a Pisen 1700mAh battery, and its very good for its price,I bought it from Deal Extreme, but be careful to research a battery before buying any, most of them are horrible and can even break your phone in some cases.
It's been said an official 1800mAh battery meant for the Epic 4g (Carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S2) fits our phone even though it's thicker; I just bought one myself, but it's being shipped from the US and I'm in Norway so it'll be a week before I could confirm that myself...
The Wi-Fi issue with 4.2 is known and pawitp had released a fix for it, I don't know if the current nightlies from the CM team have incorporated it
