[Q] CM9 instead of stock ICS?

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?

ICS 4.0.4 to CM9

Hello!
I want to change my android version and i want to install the latest CM9 =)
but i have a question..i have the latest italian version of android
Android Version: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.15 - N7000XXLRI
Baseband: N7000XXLRB
i just bricked it once a few month ago :highfive: but i want the CM9!
I have ROOT!
Q: can i change the OS without dangers to bricked up my phone again?
thanks

Yes, you can but to be 100% safe, I recommend you first downgrade to stock GB and then flash cm9. Using some safe kernel on ics rom will work too, you can find instructions in the particular rom thread.

can I install the kernel via Odin Mobile Pro?

And as you said you have root, so use mobile odin to flash custom kernel, it will flash cwm recovery too.

What do you lose / gain by switching to CM9 - thinking of doing so myself - except I use the S-Pen apps quite a bit - and I assume they stop working?

More customization, speed compared to TW roms, and you are right no stock Samsung apps on CM9.

[Q] Where I can find the most stable CM version for my smartphone

I own Samsung Galaxy Mini device with Android 2.3.6 version, already rooted, but I'd like to upgrade it to ICS by a stable CyanogenMod release. I could not find the right, most stable download for my Samsung Galaxy Mini device, can you redirect me to the right one and specify any bugs that I may experience and whether there's something that doesn't work (Camera, Wifi, or ...) with links to any fixes I can install to jump those issues there.

go there and you can choose one of them. i prefer the cm7 because it didn't have any noticeable bug, it fast, and it battery friendly.

So what are the issues in Cm9 and Cm10 releases. How I can get back to Stock rom, is that by an Nandroid backup or so and how do I make it then use it to revert back ?
Sorry if I'm asking too much questions but I just want to respond to all the general questions in a single thread that will become an online resource for the newbies who may have the same doubts about it .

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

i dont want a custom rom i just want a lag fix..

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.

You don't need to install a custom rom. Speedmod kernel should be what you're looking for.

Installation of custom rom for a begginer(help required)

Is it safe to install a custom rom on n7000, because of it's brickbug? (If yes, please help me how to install and which one to install)
I've never installed any custom ROM nor have i rooted till now. And mine has the 'brickbug'.
And i would also like to know what version OS i wil get on my device and whether the S-Pen feature remain intact ( S-note and
stuff). I just want my note to be smooth, fast and battery miser because i am now on official 4.1.2 it lags a lot and is battery hungary.
Looking forward for detailed help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Yes it is safe to install all recent custom roms. Probably even safer than staying on stock.
Your s-pen will still work, with every rom i tried. however, if you do not go for a stock-based rom, Samsung apps(including S-note) will not.
Also, consider the age of your battery. Your poor battery life may be related to an old battery. (Still, flashing a different rom should improve it.)

1st you need to root your device safely:

Flash philz kernel in recovery and you will be safe from brickbug, although only few cases of brickbug have been reported in JB, it is there on ICS for sure. So just flash philz kernel and reboot recovery before flashing anything from there, then read the instructions in the custom rom thread of your choice and follow.

If you dont mind, can u explain a bit more on how to flash and what exactly it is

I actually prefer this method of rooting, and installing a custom recovery, and "fixing" emmc brickbug all in one flash.
After that, follow the instructions in the first post of the rom you are flashing.

With all that cautions about bricking. And with every thread op that says we are not responsible if you brick your device. People get really scared esp. of they are not fluent in English.
You can't blame them for being extra cautious.
