As much as I love CM9 and AOKP from my Captivate days, at this moment in time, I cannot recommend them over "regular" ICS Roms.
Performance from my most recent test is still behind ICS not to mention missing features like MHL.
I currently prefer this:

As soon as CM9/AOKP gets there, then I am of course moving to those as I expect them to be just as good as they were on my Captivate

I prefer the paranoid android rom. It's the best thing that I have ever run on my note.

if you like the stock Gingerbread launcher then stock ICS for the note is great for you.
ofcoarse you can put different launchers i had Apex on the UK ICS release and it was very awsome but.. not as smooth as how Apex runs on CM9
And if you use the SPen functionality which i really..as hard as i want i cant really see my self in using theres an app that functions very much the same as SMemo..
is just called memo just check the Themes and Apps section.
it is pen sensitive is amazing..as good as the SMemo so really..no more missing that extra 1% functionality
also another reason why cm9 is that much better is that...
4.0.4 as oppose to Samsungs 4.0.3
i cant recommend enough..
but make sure if you're coming to either one stock or custom i recommend
for stock UK ICS
and custom CM9
make sure to follow the instructions for installing CM9 ..as you need to revert to a rootable GB rom (2.3.5) and root from there and install CM9 from there..
so read read and..after that read more the install instructions

OP, I don't think you've given us a shred of info about what would make a good ROM for you.

I was on almost-stock GB for a long time and never really used S Memo.
For me, the S-Pen is a great tool for illustration, but to take quick notes I still much prefer to type everything instead.
As such, CM9 and any of its derivatives for me (currently Paranoid Android).

Have to agree, tried all kinds of roms gb and ics, stock to modded, but the best thing I have come across is paranoid android.

Paranoid Android will always top the chart for me
I love the smoothness in Tablet mode! While accessing Citrix from Tablet mode, everything seems to be in place and perfect zoom! Whilst on phone mode I struggle to read my applications..
+1 for Paranoid Android!

I'm currently running KingDroid. This has the new Touchwiz 5.0/SIII look, which in my opinion is much better looking than the old.
The KingDroid also got all of the S Memo/ S Planner apps.

the best answer for this is you should try yourself.
there are roms with lots of enhanced apps
roms with hybrid mode
roms built with speed as focus
roms built with all junk deleted
and many more other types of roms
or maybe you should ask for more specific question,people might help you.

I Just tried CM9 and it is goed!

by the way I feel Kingdroid 4.2+GL_NoteCore 1.2b kernel is fine

Dunno, why everyone bleets on about pa, been there done it, but cm9's stylus experience is not a patch on Sammy based roms, also the landscape spen accuracy is terrible, you loose the great spen actions and control, snote and smemo, your be told there are alternatives like papyrus, tried them all, don't come close to the Sammy sapps, now a cm9/Sammy/tablet hybrid now you're talking
Sent from a galaxy note far far away

I'm a big fan of cm9 but wanted to try paranoid since seems so popular over here.. I've downloaded the rom but no matter what I'm not able to get the gapps..
So I just gave up and went cm9

Great bettery life and speed much more than on any stock mod:cyclops:

All roms based on AOSP like CM9 and those that are based on it, with CM9 being the best, fastest and most stable of them. Paranoid is amazing if you're after tablet/hybrid UI. As for TouchWiz based rom - no recommendations here because i think touchwiz is total sh... ( don't want to offend anyone, just my opinion ). Anyway - everyone settles with a different experience so you should just try it yourself.

Indeed, I am using Criskelo V6,
I am just wondering can I directly flash V8 Rom without wiping data?
you know restore/reinstall apps is really painful...

which rom best for battery life and smooter?

Each custom Roms are subjective to the user's preference. He /she could claim that it's butter smooth/fast, great battery life and etc. BUT at the end of the day, You yourself would be the ultimate judge to which ROM that really suits your fancy. It's all about a user's preference and satisfaction.
Don't believe on anyone who will tell you that this and that ROM works fine and dandy for them. Because their results might not be what you would expect the most.
Try and try each ROM for yourself, until you would finally settle for a ROM that you and you alone would claim as the perfect ONE for YOU!.
Always remember, there are different strokes for different folks... What works for others DOESN'T necessarily mean it will work for you. It's all about choice and individuality.
YOUR Individuality.. NOT theirs.....

Sorry I know u ask for JB, but have you tried Democrazy CM7 ? Is pretty good.
Now I throw a question? Why would you use CM10 that is a lot heavier than CM7 which doesnt let much space to install things in it?
What is the point of having latest but super limited phone?
Is there something that I am missing?

Best Way To Upgrade S5830 to JellyBean? Advice Needed!

I have a newbie friend with a GT-S5830 Galaxy Ace on stock 2.3.5. I want to upgrade her to the newest ROM available but I know that her phone is old and I don't want to put a 4.2.2 ROM on it that will make it slow/unusable.
Can someone here please advise the best combination of ROM, tweaks/mods that will give her the latest software but also keep her phone speedy and responsive? Nothing too crazy please- she is not at all tech-savvy, and she will only change her software this one time.
She does not use her phone for music. Just surfing the web, apps like Whatsapp, Maps/Navigation, browser (Chrome or will it be too slow?), etc...

Chrome won't work

Hi,
First of all, Chrome won't work on our Galaxy Ace, as it's a arm v6 device (which is not supported by google). Then for the ROM issue, I recommend you to install the Jelly Bean ROM from Marcin (maclaw). It's speedy, responsive and it supports overclocking if you install an app for it (I have it on my phone, has been great so far). Games work as fast as on the stock ROM. For the browser, I recommend you to use the stock Jelly Bean one or Opera browser.
Any further questions? Just ask. :good:
Hit thanks if I helped you.

Hi- a couple concerns. This is for a girl who is visiting from Australia who is not tech-savvy at all. Once I upgrade her phone, she will have no idea how to do it again. So it is extremely important that it be hassle-free and maintenance-free.
Maclaw has several ROMS: CyanogenMod 10.1 and AOSP. Which one are you referring to? I was reading that the AOSP one was slow- is that true? And what do you mean by "supports overclocking"? Do I have to install a new kernel or mod to set this up? Won't overclocking kill the battery?
So what exactly is the best combination of ROM/tweaks/mods that you suggest? Can you provide links as well?
Thanks again!

You just have to root the phone first, and then flash the ROM via cwm (the kernel is installed with the ROM). About what version to use, I'm using CM10.1 20130513 for three days now and it has been pretty fast for me. I always tend to use CM ROMS, as they're usually faster than the AOSP roms on the ACE (they're optimised for the phone, unlike the AOSP ROMS). Overclocking is not necessary, but it's useful if you're playing games.
So my hint it, just install the ROM i've mentioned without tweaks/mods. If anyone here knows some useful mods, please add them.
Site to get the rom: maclaw.pl/downloads/ (It's the top one).

- CM 10.1/7.1/9.2
- JB 4.2
- Apocalypse
- ICE Cream
- KitKat
- Pacman
and few others which I can't remember.

You can try SpaceCaker's AOSP 2.3.7. Very fast but data and mass storage connection to PC not working. Give it a try though

In my opinion, stock GB ROMs are the fastest. CM7.2 is pretty fast as well. Any GB ROM with the right kernel should do
Also, please refrain from making such theads. While it may be a bit different, this is essentially a "Best rom" thread, which are against the rules.
