Hi doods
I'm A new G noter
I want to ask about a perfect ROM based on official.
I had Xperia Neo before this one and theres a very very good ROM for xperias
by the name of SE.Tweaked.
it's absolutly the official ROM that excess app and sys app are removed on it.
is there any thing like that for note that deliver a speed and costumization ability beside that every thing working perfectly on it(pen and ...)
Thanks a lot
Rocket & Litening ftw!

For custom GB roms, I have tried Rocket rom and the newer Litening rom. In my opinion, both are great and definitely worth considering.
For the GB, I have tried DarkyRom, ChrackRom, CheckRom, Cassie's XtraLiteRom, and Litening Rom. I found them very comparable in performance and battery life. For ChrackRom you have option to install a full, small, and extra small rom. I am using Litening Rom right now. I might go back to ICS Stunner rom, I like the Stunner rom except that it is not as stable as the GB roms in my SGN.

I really like ICS Stunner too, but you might want to exercise caution using that or any other ICS LP5/LP6 leak based ROMS until an issue with potentially hardbricking your phone during flashing is resolved.
If you're interested, there's a still experimental (but as far as hardbricking safer) ICS CM9 build that's really cool over here:

Hiya there ! I'll seize this opportunity to avoid creating a post of my own then ! I'm like Arasl, though i bought my GNote in february and i'm still running a non-root, stock ROM because i'm sort of "afraid of flashing".
First, i've never done it before, and since i'm a Linux user i've been searching for ways to do it through linux instead of the Odin/windows method but i'm now pretty much resigned to use Odin (seems simpler, methods actually do exist and there's more feedback, though any hint towards linux-oriented methods would be great).
I've restrained myself from flashing ever since i saw the brick-related posts from ICS Stunner ROM and i do NOT want to flash that ROM.
My questions are then following :
1) Is it possible to ROOT the phone without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1 ?
2) If it is unsafe to flash ICS-based ROMs, is it 100% safe to flash gingerbread-based custom ROMs or is there still an important risk of bricking the phone?
I can imagine most people will answer yes to the previous question and in that case, which ROM would you advise that is both light (and smooth, since the stock ROM is a little laggy on the edges) and the most battery-saving?
Thanks for any hints to existing posts, i've been looking around but i just don't have the time to read the hundreds of pages of custom stock roms to compare them all by myself ;-)
Just use the latest cm9. Very safe and beautiful. If you need the spen functionality then use gb..

If by any means you are ready to work on windows, i would gladly help you in all these...although in a RISK on anything happens on completely you only.
I, too as being flasholhoic, flashed almost every ROM here in the development section both GB and ICS, every kernel, so i will try my best to avoid any risk but god-only-knows-the-best. As per your question,
1. Yes you can root your stock rom without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1, Go here and select the right kernel and follow the procedure.
2. Official CM9 is the only (yet most) safest ICS build here, the rest being suffered by the ultimate phenomenal hardbrick bug. And yes its safe to flash any GB rom until you are switching it from GB to GB rom only.
The most important thing, take enough time to read read and read (even query) the instruction before flashing anything, or else you can have ample amount to time to read anything with coffee placed on your new bricked note. Choice is yours.
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
I am currently on cristelo rom ics. Since the developer has stopped support, I would like to try Jb custom rom but need opinion from fellow buddies here.
-which rom is more stable as a daily driver?
- i use phone mainly for whatsapp, SMS, Facebook,.forum runner... but . no games.
- preference to have better battery life but not a definite must as I am office bounded.
- base on the recommended rom, what are the things I need to be aware? E.g. SMS not working well.... xxx soon will hang and stuff....
Any recommendations or input appreciated.

JB is not that stable, Stay with TW roms.
And while ur at it, start reading the JB threads especially the changelogs as it will answer ur question on what works or not.
I myself am waiting for a stable release.

Just check the sticky thread in development section for various custom roms & their features. If it suits your taste you can try to install it. For me Paranoid Android 2.1 by Imilka is good JB ROM. Just keep a nandroid backup of your current ROM. Try flashing various roms following the instructions. If you dont like just restore the backup & you are back.
As has been said once & again be on a safe kernel. Hydracore is the preferred on as it is THE UNIVERSAL KERNEL...

Well advised
@OP, I don't think you should ask suggestion on which rom to choose, people have different taste and everyone will suggest different rom. Better for you is to check the respective rom threads and then choose best suited rom for you after going through rom OP and latest user comments if possible.
Jelly Core by Gavin. Found link in my signature.
I would consider AOKP JB too. I have been on it and it is really good! But, I finally went back to RR ICS because I missed S-apps...(Yeah, really freak!!)

Hey, I was a fellow Criskelo (and Chrack) user until the final release. Excellent ROM, similar to Foxhound on the GS2. In my personal opinion (hey, its only an opinion) the current JB ROMs are ok but not "different enough" to warrant using as a daily driver. I have had issues with A2DP and SMS not being received. S Apps wasnt a problem as I prefer GNote and Papyrus. I would recommend you try Chrack V15 (on Hydra 4.3), in my opinion its better than Criskelo and the battery performance is superb. You wont be disappointed.
Hope this helps.
Asylum cm10(aroma installer)
I feel its stable enough and getting a better battery life(atleast for me)
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.

You could try ics stock rom with non stock kernel, i my self use notecore and hydracore kernel while i am using ics rom.
This will give you another experience..

Hello, lovely folks!
I am about to flash one of your great custom ROMs (the stable ICS ones, can't wait for JB), so I have a few last questions...
I will go either for a TW based ROM that also has all the things you normally get from Samsung that I don't find useful (social hub, music, and other apps whose third party versions/alternatives I find more stylish, better looking and more functional), but will compromise and risk having these unwanted extras hogging my memory.
Or, I would go (if possible!) for a TW based custom ROM (ICS) that has all the functionality, but either comes as almost stock, barebone Android with added S3, and SGN2 cool apps and selected features, BUT WITHOUT the Samsung unwanted apps, or comes with these too, but has the option of removing them, without risking the operability of the system/phone.
Now, I have narrowed my sight onto Sweet ROM, RocketROM, or maybe Kingdroid, or has that one been superseeded by the first two I mentioned.
Just a thought; why not make some sort of meter of popularity and rating of usability/stability of all ROMs for Note, within tw based, stock, and newest, round the corner, which is now JB? It would save you guys having to answer all the same questions all the time.
Thanks a lot!
My personal recommendation to you would be to flash Sweet Rom. It's the latest ics release available and much as the name implies, it's a very SWEET ROM! :good:

As far as bloatware is concerned, I usually download the rom, extract it using winrar, remove any unwanted or unnecessary apk's, zip it back up using winrar and then flash it to my device.
How do you do that? Can you do that without risking the stabilty of the phone. I mean when I even try and stop/close some samsung apps I get the message that it may cause problems.
Ok, so lets say I want to install Sweet ROM. So, I download it and unzip it, and then what? Is it just the matter of removing apk's? where do I find them? any tutorial on this kind of thing?
thanks again.
Sweet rom v5 has a lot of bloatware removed which you can add back if you want to in an extra zip file. Check out the sweet rom thread.
