same question here
i have just moved from galaxy s2 to note,,,n im not aware of notes development pls sugesst a god day to day stable rom

The Indian version
Currently I am using the Indian version from a weak ago and its perfect
didn't face any issues with it
the battery is lasting for me with normal usage(Include gaming, surfing the internet, using the cam etc" by 14Hrs a day
I highly recommend this Rom based on my experience

I think you have two options.
1. If you are in any custom ROM (for eg. RocketROM) , then go back to stock & as others have chosen Upgrade Via Kies, you can too. You will be loaded into ICS Version of your country (if it has been released ).
2. If you think stock ROMs are not good for you, you can go ahead and choose amongst the huge sea of new custom ROMs available under development thread. But beware of what you flash. Nowadays, the brick bug for ICS is the demon which even the worst droid addicts fear.
Let me know if you want any more support! xD Good Luck!

I don't know if you've heard, but official Samsung ICS ROMS and kernels along with those based on them can brick your device.
I recommend you something based on CM9, like ParanoidAndroid. It's awesome and safe.

I find Alba's the best Samsung based ICS Rom out there.
It's speedy, stable, good battery and most importantly, S Pen functionality.
Cheers!

Alba
i have tested most of them with the golden method
after i have installed a prerooted gb rom...through odin...
so when ever i am i do the above first and then what you see below..
and i think it is as safe as it gets...
Four steps to installing any rom for galaxy note
1. Flash gb kernel ( i use abyss 3.9 )
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Data, cache and dalvike cache wipe
4. Flash your rom.
This is the universal instructions for any ics rom installation.
No brick and maintain root.
now to the point ... alba is suppose to be safe because it's on Franco kernel
and not CF... etc...
i find it very good..... i had a little battery drain but after i installed juice
and used Titanium to "STOP" all the bloadware its easily the best in battery so far ... (end up a day with quite some talking ,radio , internet and have 35 to 40% to spare)

so far...i am very happy with my set up.
kingdroid 2.1 w/ franco kernel

Asylum is the best in my opinion.

Hi guys,
I updated my phone from GB to ICS and then flashed TMT1.4 . I am currently running on CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3-CWM5 kernel. I flashed LPY build and this kernel through MobileOdin. I had an urge to install PA V.2 today. Could you guys please help me by telling me the exact steps i would need to do to install PA? i am really paranoid after reading all about the NOTE bricks happening all over.
Regards

Just put your phone in download mode (vol down + home + power), flash any stock GB ROM through PC Odin, put the PA ROM and gapps package in your SD card, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and install the ROM and gapps package and you are good to go!

Hi Harris. I am using Liquid Smooth v2 ROM on my N7000. It's pretty fast, not sure about battery yet since I have used it for only a day. No S-Memo, but I found an app that IMHO is better than S-Memo, called "Lecture Notes".. very handy, and your S-pen works perfectly on it. You can also disable finger, so your finger does not interfere with your writing.
Only issue is this Liquid Smooth makes every thing black, including your Gmail and Google Play... it's good to save battery on N7000 Amoled screen, but not very pretty. Browser appearance is unaffected (white website stays white...)
Another issue, my Kindle app doesn't work here.. still dunno the cause. Can download books, but always crash when opening the book.
Cheers!

What is this question?
As you can see, you are asking a question that is not possible to reply. Everybody has his own needs and reasons for using such or such features of a custom rom... So, the best is the one you test yourself and are happy with.
Just think about what you really need and read the features of the custom rom. As simple as that. When two or three match your needs. Then try them and select for yourself.
E.g. if you need s-pen, for the moment you should not go CM9 because it is not there (yet or never).
E.g. look at the screenshots. Do you like them? Well, choose.

i agree

I agree 100%.
For me it's ics alba right now.. the one i am going to stay for a while...
i couldn't go to a rom without integrated FM radio or pen for example..
as for instructions...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43609376/Steps for a Rooted GB/Steps .txt
use this... i have tested it many times in 3-4 notes... it's as safe as it gets...
inside the dropbox folder i include a Self extract rar with everything we need..
it's about 530 mb but it's the one folder you will need to go into ANY ROM
you only have to choose the custom rom of your choice after you are done with the folder..

An update to this. Now there is Liquid Smooth v2.1, the theme color is back to stock Android so it's pretty again. Most importantly, it is now very much smoother and faster than v2. Give it a try! I like it very much.

Thank you so much for the help bro. I will be doing that tonight. I also wanted to know what kernel will i be on after getting back to gb... I am currebtly on Cf-root 5.3.... Do i need to get back to a gb kernell? If yes which one? I also wanted to know how to take a nandroid back up and what is a redpill recovery and how it can be used. Sorry for the noobism but i really want to know all i can about this device

I don't say this to be rude or anything. But thats a lot of questions. Why not use the sear h function and read, read, read. Then you might gain proper knowledge about subjects that can be slightly complex.
Regards

I think also M3dD0g´s LiquidSmooth V2.1 is the best : Based AOSP with the best of AOKP.

is kingdroid notemania version 5 is compatible with ics 4.0.3?

this is my first post, i just want to know if i do need to upgrade my ics 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 before i upgrade my rom to kingdroid notemania v5.
( i want to post this question to the kindroid thread but im still restricted to do so since im still a new member)

You are installing a custom ROM (i.e.) you are switching to an entire new environment, so your update is not going to be of much use. Everything is going to be new . And also don't do a wipe in ICS, it may trigger the emmc_brick bug. follow the procedure in the OP section of the ROM to be safe. Cheers. :good:

So ics update (to 4.0.4) is not necessary for me to install the kingdroid v5? coz i was thinking that kindroid v5 is only compatible with ics 4.0.4.
thanks for your help.
and also what do you mean by not doing a wipe? you mean wiping cache and dalvic is not good since it might lead to brick bug?

A wipe in general means full wipe. Since you are new i would recommend you to read the following thread before you start, spend some time getting to know what to do and what not to because "The Note" is not a cheap device to risk things. Anyways we can always play a safe game if we know what we are doing. And strictly follow the steps in OP of any ROM to be safe. Good Luck ahead. :good:

but definitely better than ica
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

as per your query: Fastest one available is RocketRom v12 based on Samsung TW ROM XXLRT ICS 4.04

I've been looking for the fastest rom mostly in terms of gaming, but also for UI--how long it takes for a window to close, the dialer to come up, etc.
I've tried most of the new jb leaks and a few older ics roms.
The single FASTEST rom I've seen so far is CM10 with the latest hydracore oc kernel and bloat apps stripped away. No, it is not ics, but is faster than any ics rom.
There are some things I don't like about it, mostly with the way it looks, but in terms of pure speed--nothing I've seen so far matches it. It is lightning fast.
The new jb leaks are very nice--they look better than any other roms I've seen, but no way are they as fast as CM10. Not even close.

If you willing to try JB.
Paranoid Android 2.5.0(not 2.5.1) + Hydracore 7.1 kernel +Nova Launcher is blazing fast, I mean like Note2 kind of smooth.
So far only 1 bug I know of, the volume with earphones are quite low(they fixed this in 2.5.1 but induce A LOT of bugs and memory leak came back.
The headphone output is lower than normal but not SUPER low. totally acceptable.

I'm willing try any. The paranoid android and cm10 both say i must flash from a cm9 or aosp rom and not a stock ics due to bricking. Im running the latest xlsa again, is that a aosp rom and im safe to flash?
Matt

gaming performance wont be as good and smooth on AOSP/CM10/Paranoid based ROM compared to Samsung ROM

That isn't true at least not for me and I've tried both, repeatedly. NFS most wanted and Dark Knight both have visible slowdowns on jb leaks but not on cm10.
Op - just try both and compare.

Right...
Tried to install paranoidandroid in cwm and it came up error 7 or something.
Ive installed the latest 4.0.4 official rom (N7000XXLRU) but couldnt find one that was just for the UK so downloaded a foreign one and chose english as the language. Only thing is it had 6 or 7 apps that i had to uninstall as it was a foreign app. It works lovely though , very smooth and judder free.
Does anybody know where i can find a uk version of the XXLRU rom so it doesnt install these foreign apps?

root and efs backup first! save on multiple locations, of the phone especially. Especially if you are going to try different csc roms then your phone.
for best result, backup data like pictures (to external sd) and contacts (to gmail),not apps or app data. When rooted(will void warrantee), flash if on stock rom speedmod kernel (you need safe kernel for wiping) with mobile odin. Take out sim/external sd card, and format all in mounts in recovery mode (except efs), ignore error messages, factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache(in advanced)
After this your pc odin install will be fresh and without stuff lingering that could cause all kind of issues. Just lije bot recovering your apps/app data. That could cause issues as well.
all at own risk.

[Q] The Jelly Bean Upgrade Plan

Hey Guys,
Next Weekend (Friday December 20), I will finally make the jump to Jelly Bean from Gingerbread. I know that Kit Kat is also available, but it is much more buggy than Jelly Bean, and stability is my main goal, which is why I stayed on Gingerbread for so long. My plan for upgrading is this:
-Make a complete backup and snapshot of my device (Nandroid + Titanium Backup + Backup both Internal and External SD Cards to Computer) in case something goes wrong.
-Fully format both internal and external SD Cards (Including second Link2SD Partition in Ubuntu)
-Use AIO Toolkit to upgrade to New bootloader, and set up all new partitions, etc.
-Use AIO Toolkit to flash TWRP 2.6.0.0/ 2.6.3.0 For new bootloader (If it becomes available by the time I flash)
-Wipe Everything in Recovery
-Flash the latest TheROM 26 Stable (Most stable 4.3.1, with awesome extra features), + Kowalski Kernel M1 Stable, but I am keeping a close eye on the 3.1 developments (the 3.1 Hijuni port is too unstable for daily use currently, and Pengus mentions that Kowlaski features are being ported and code is being cleaned up for the Kowalski 3.1 release), so basically, I will make the kernel decision the day of the flashing operation.
-Flash Tonyp's full Non-Neon gapps from the development section
-Flash extra ROM Goodies, like feav's camera mod
-Reboot, let sit for a few minutes, and reboot again after first boot
-Begin setting up ROM/ Kernel and begin installing apps fresh from Google Play, and only restoring data from titanium backup for certain apps like games, etc.
Regarding the above, I have a few questions:
To begin, are the above steps proper? Is there anything that I should add or remove?
Secondly, when the 2.6.3.0 for New bootloader becomes available, it is as simple as flashing the new image through AIO Toolkit with no loss of data?
Lastly, does the Full non-neon gapps by Tonyp contain everything? Is there a better gapps to flash? I want the full Google apps experience, and the included mini-gapps does not contain everything I think.
I know this is a long post, but I really want to make sure I'm doing this right, and hopefully someone can use this thread in the future to do things proper also. Thanks in advance.

hi, I think the steps are correct. changing the bootloader will format the internal sd, but it doesn't matter if you format it before it. If tonyp makes a new twrp available you can flash it through the previous version of it, then you reboot recovery and it will be the updated version. not sure about the gapps question, but it surely contains play store, so you can install the latest version of the Google apps manually from it. good luck.

Hello,
Thank you very much. I will continue to research and if I have any questions which I cannot find the answer to, I will ask here. Thanks again.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app

Yeah. Your steps are fine.
The new 3.1 kernel is awesome. I am using it with TheROM build 25. You might wanna try it.
TonyP's GApps have most of the important Google Apps. It's sufficient, I think.
And, AFAIK, a new recovery doesn't need a data wipe of any kind.
Have fun Flashing and Upgrading!
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk

Thanks for your answer! I think I will stick with the KK M1 build, and maybe when the 3.1 kernel becomes a bit more stable I will flash it. It's not too big of a deal, because a kernel upgrade is just wiping dalvik and regular caches, installing, and setting up kernel settings, which is a lot less work than a ROM upgrade. I think I will stick with Tonyp's non-neon full gapps, and I'll upgrade the recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.0 newbl whenever it becomes available . Thanks again!

Hello,
I have remebered a question I forgot to ask. Is Pdroid 2.0 supported in TheROM, and if it is, is it stable? Could I just use the auto patcher to add the functionality? Thanks again.

Starting right now!
Hey Guys,
I'm starting the upgrade right now! I will post results after everything is done. I decided to use XPrivacy instead of the newer PDroids, because they contain bugs and are no longer developed. See you guys on the other side.

[Q] What is the best ROM out there for Shamu?

Looking for your input in terms of the best ROM with a high emphasis on battery life. Also had a few questions in regards to flashing ROMs, this will be my first time doing it:
1) What is the best ROM out there with great emphasis on battery life but still maintains performance (i.e. the best rom )?
1) What is your favorite ROM and why (such a noob original question, heh)?
2) Is a clean wipe necessary to flash a ROM?
3) Will I have to wipe my phone every time I update the ROM?
4) Will I have to wipe my phone when I update to a new version of Android?
5) Can I flash a custom Kernel with a custom ROM?
6) Should I just wait for official CM?
Still a little bit of a noob with Android, I just made the jump from iOS for the N6. Thanks in advance!

Battery life and performance speed is more a function of the kernel and how you choose and set up the various Governors that are in it.
When you change your ROM you need to clean wipe. Using TWRP a clean wipe will not wipe your media / storage files.
If you are updating a rom to a later version of the same rom, a dirty flash is usually possible especially if the Android version hasn't changed.
You can flash just about any kernel available for your device with any rom.
I wouldn't wait for an " official " release as there are so many good roms already out there. Read description of each before you decide. They vary from almost indistinguishable from stock to wildly customizable.

1) There's really no 1 ROM with significantly better battery life then the others (more battery life difference from kernels). I'd pick based on the features you want. I'm using LiquidSmooth primarily if that helps.
2) Yes, generally.
3) Not for most updates, but you should anyways.
4) Yes, generally.
5) Yes, with all ROMs. The custom kernels is where you'll see differences in battery drain and performance due to due to custom CPU governor settings among other things. I prefer Franco's kernel.
6) Wouldn't bother, but that's up to you.
My main recommendation would be to try out a bunch of ROMs/Kernels and stick with what you like. Use titanium backup and/or TWRP backups for quick reverting when switching ROMs. Kernels never require wipes, so you can switch them out to your heart's content.

1) What is your favorite ROM and why (such a noob original question, heh)?
The ROM I compiled myself and built to my needs.
2) Is a clean wipe necessary to flash a ROM?
Only if you're coming from a different ROM than the one you're using currently. You may have to wipe your ROM coming from the same one if specified by the OP.
3) Will I have to wipe my phone every time I update the ROM?
See above.
4) Will I have to wipe my phone when I update to a new version of Android?
See above.
5) Can I flash a custom Kernel with a custom ROM?
Yes.
6) Should I just wait for official CM?
"Official" nightlies have begun.

There is no best ROM. Plz...
