Pretty dumb question, but I just wanna be safe. I'm on Slimbean 4.1.2 right now, and I'm interested in going over to Helly Bean 4.2. Is it safe to do so? I saw Helly Bean uses Devil kernel, and Slim uses Sephamore. I don't wanna brick my phone. Although I will do a nandroid just in case.
Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

Don't worry, the only way to brick your phone is to flash bootloaders using the computer. Just flash it.

1) which ics roms r safer as of now?
2) is criskelo rom safe?
The latest stock ROMS that came out last month or so I've heard.They say brick issue is solved now with the CFROOT 5.6.Can't confirm though I wish someone could.
All cyanogenmod roms are said to have a kernel that's "safe" from the brick bug and the aosp ui of cyanogenmod roms greatly trump in comparison to the touchwiz ui!
I'd recommend CM9 roms as they're free from the brick bug.
Asylum ICS (CM9)
That's the best user experience you can have from your Note!

All ICS custom roms are safe if you follow the proper procedure to install it....

Wht abt criskelo?

As long as you flash abyss kernel before you flash the rom, you ll be fine. Also with the rom make sure you run a safe ketnel like franco, speedmod and a few mirea
Currently using clean note ics rom, but as i have a second note, wanna try something else, want something that looks good, runs like a dream, good memory and battery...

Paranoid Android is awesome, Maybe you should try it then you can compare a Samsung ICS ROM with a pure AOSP ICS ROM.
Its relatively easy to flash, Just revert to GB via ODIN or Mobile ODIN, then flash a GB kernel like abyss, Then flash PA ROM.
IM also a CleaNote user, Ive tried all the other ROMs but always come back to this one cause it just suits me and my needs.
Decided to flash a custom gimgerbread rom to it

Hi, I've hhad Galaxy S for a while now, and right now I'm using CM10. I hate rolling back to Ice because I love JB but CM10 is a real battery hog. I was wondering what JB ROM you would recommend? I don't need too many custom features, mainly drawer toggles and if possible, overclocking (I really loved Devil kernel but the JB version doesn't flash for me).
Thanks in advance!

Helly bean and slim bean roms are good

Hey guy, give elite's GNexus Rom a try. It's stable and very fast but contains semaphore kernel (which is faster than devil on jb in my opinion)
Good luck buddy

Hey... It seems I have been long gone from the forums and had a hard time trawling through everything..
Now right now.. I'm using my galaxy note with
Baseband version N7000XXKK5
ROM - Antoniomistrettaa XXKK 9
Kernel - cf root kernel
My simple question is -
Which is the best ICS based ROM for normal usage and good battery life...
I just want a rock solid surprise stable ROM & kernel... But the choices are confusing... Please help...
And how do I go about this... Considering I'm still on 2.3.6

Thanks... How do I go about it?
A noob proof guide will be most welcome...
(although I'm a senior member, but I'm totally out of touch since a long time)
And can I just upgrade normally?
And do all the common (daily use apps) apps and common big name title games work nicely?
Sorry if I'm apprehensive
EDIT - some big name alternatives to rocket rom will also be appreciated... Btw.. I have seen this forum & rocket rom since the inception... Although I couldn't participate due to some reasons...
Are the miui roms stable and have good compatibility?
And which JB/ICS rom is best of everyday aside from rocket rom...
Some links will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks a lot.. But I guess I'm stuck with a full wipe followed by a flash to rocket rom JB or ics...
Which one is better? JB or ICS...
So if in coming from gingerbread... I need to first do a full wipe and then install some ICS based ROM with a rooted stock kernel or something like that?
Some instructions & a link to the thread will be appreciated...
Tapashocked via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice !
First flash a philz kernel. These are rooted stock but use the ics 3.99 version.
Philz kernel can be flashed from stock recovery. Its in the original developer tread.
Then you can flash rrv12 ics. With full wipe.
Personaly im on jb lsz official rooted rom for the netherlands. Which is good and stable.
Have fun flashing.

Re: Help.... Firmware frenzy,
Make a backup with titanium but dont restore system data or settings only user apps.
Flash a kernel from philz the 4.88.4 is the latest i know of. Then flash whatever rom you like.
When flashing the rom the kernel will also be overwritten.
Rr v12 ics is fast and stable. I always used hydracore 4.3b oc.
Or try a samsung original jb rom but flash a philz kernel after the rom to get root.
The choice is up to you.

If you're on a safe firmware try installing cm9. You'll love it. It's quite stable and it's way faster than the touchwiz bloatware

Thanks but Cm9 not for me.. Haven't a good experience in my i9003 and game and app compatibility is usually a lil risky.
I guess I'll try to go for the philz kernel JB route and if you have aosp rom in mind lemme know..

I would say if you want to use a custom jelly bean rom then i will recommend you slim bean instead of cm 10.1
If u want a good ics custom rom them cm9 is for you
For tw based ics custom rom, Criskelos rom is the best touch wiz rom.

The Most amazing AOSPA ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115167
I had used it, but I wanted some AOKP mods, so i shifted to the AOKP version of it.
The Dev is constantly updating this with more and more goodies. Give it a try
Ok, I'm still getting used to Android and it's openness, so I thought I'd ask this question. Could I flash a Jelly Bean kernel under an ICS ROM? I don't think it's possible but being the inquisitive person I am, I thought I'd ask before going too far.

Short answer: no
You could try it as I did when I was curious - you won't brick our phone but it would just freeze during the boot or fall into bootloop
