since it's a CM10 4.1.2 rom variant you should be safe going to any other CM10 rom. I don't think you should try flashing CM9 or an AOKP rom over it, that could be asking for trouble. not all mtd roms use exactly the same partition system, so things can go wonky. to 'downgrade' or move away from CM10 you will likely have to restock and go from there. just my two cents. hope this helps.

[Q]Cyanogenmod 7.1

should i install a froyo rom before i flash cyanogenmod 7.1???
No, cm 7.1 works better when your install base is Samsung gingerbread because of the bootloaders.
P.S. you don't need to create a topic when there is already thread for Q&A regarding CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067074
okay i tried to install it on jvs 2.3.5 now the phone shows cyanogenmod icon and keeps rebooting :S
Known issue. Flash it again from recovery and it should work.
Dont forget to clear dalvik cache.
thanks a lot m8

It runs great, of course.
CyanogenMod is by far my favourite ROM. I highly suggest it if you're a fan of power and awesomeness.

The very same thread u're referring to says one needs to running rooted Eclair/Froyo Bootloader.
My question is, Do i really need to Downgrade to Froyo if I'm already on stock Gingerbread?
and also, How would we know if Gingerbread bootloader becomes "safe" in future, if ever?

No need to downgrade, GB bootloaders are safe.
In the early(er) CM7 days Froyo bootloaders were needed for CM, for the last couple of months both bootloaders are supported, and GB bootloaders are preferred because of lower batt drain.
If needed you can always go back to Froyo bootloaders using Odinn/Heimdall.

Can't find a source stating this, but i'm running CM7 with GB Bootloaders. Only risk you were running installing CM7 on GB was that your external SD-Card wouldn't be recognized, and there was a Loadscreen glitch when the phone booted.
Those issues was fixed a couple months ago, so there is no problem flashing CM7 over GB Bootloaders.

Have fun flashing

Really light rom with decent battery life (ics or jb)

Hi guys and girls!
Hope you are all doing well. Anyway, I rooted yesterday and am running a new kernel (speed mod k13 I believe) anyway. What I am after now, is as the title says, a light, fast rom with decent battery life. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or experiences and could suggest something. Would a CYANOGEN from work? When I had my galaxy s I was using 7 and found it really good. But are there others?
Cheers!

cyanogen will indeed work as will paranoid android charack,s,rocket rom if its lite you want then look for a rom with aroma installer so you can install what you want
Cheers!, really liking the look of paranoid android, especially the hybrid roms! it has been a goood while since i flashed a rom, so need to figure out what i have to do again. lol, thanks, if you can provide any tips on moving to this rom from stock ics with speedmod kernel, it would be helpful! Thanks.
Is this a decent guide to follow for paranoid android?

Yes, JB referred in the guide are all JB/CM10 based roms.
Check this thread, some one just flashed JB rom using above guide
Thanks So Much, Very helpful so as long as i am on safe kernel i do not have to worry about being on a cm9 rom before i flash JB(cm10 based)?

As long as you are on safe kernel you don't have to worry about anything or to revert back to GB. Just keep flashing rom with full wipes. Its enough for you.....
So, i am trying to back up through CWM on hydracore, it gets soooo close to the end and then says there was an error backing up the data, any ideas on what this is or a remedy for it?
I dont really want to flash a rom without doing the backup... even though in the past, i have done (old phone) is it imperritive to make a backup?

What exactly you want to backup from old rom, apps? If so then use titanium backup. I never backup whole rom as it hardly takes 15-20 minutes to setup rom if you have backup of apps.

Yes, as with any AOKP/ CM9 based rom..
There are alternative apps that could be used.
Otherwise, there are some excellent choices when it comes to Touchwiz-based roms as well.
Some are available themed to the AOKP look, if you prefer.

[Q] Back to stock

I'm on cyanogen 10.1, but it's not as stable as I would like, so I'm going back to stock (sigh) and maybe give v30B a shot
Anyway, I'm not really sure how to do it so I was hoping you guys could help me?

Alright, I assume you have a custom recovery(duh)and Is rooted. so all you need to do is to get the rom itself.preferably from the Nemesis series or N00by's Repack.After downloading,boot into recovery.Wipe data,cache and dalvik cache.Flash the Rom and you are done.
ADD-ON:I recommend you flash ZeroGravityKernel to get better performance,however there may be a chance that your motherboard or CPU cannot handle the overclock.Mine is ok though.So I hope this helps!

[Q] Best ROM/kernel for gaming

Hey guys, i'm newbie to these parts. I have galaxy not N7000 stock, but the graphics quality on Real Racing 3 sucks. AND it's a bit laggy (maybe 18fps or so) so what's the best ROM/Kernel to use?
I'm on Gingerbread 2.3.6.
And i want ROM that have working camera and Wifi..
Battery consumption? As long as it's the same as default, i'm fine
Thank you so much

Hey Bro, I would advice you first update your device to Jelly bean.. it increases your performance.. maybe you should try the stock rom first which you can get from sammobile.com, and then if it still doesn't work then try XXLT6 rom by Thaidai. That's the perfect one.
Hit THANKS if I helped

Yes buddy it is.. you get a lot of fluidity...
a performance boost too..
if you want I am providing you the link where you can update your note.. the full procedure..
http://techtactics-by-rbhk.blogspot.in/ use this blog..
and try it once..
Thanks
I reply not only because of naming my XXLT6.
XXLT6 is removed from my list of Roms, so you will not find it (it only made problems for me and other members).
And if you want to try to upgrade to JB you are at the right place here in XDA - no need to switch to other websites.
Use Dr. Ketan's standard thread for updating your Rom with one of the available JB stock Roms.
Or switch to a Custom Rom of the "color and taste" you like. Look in to the two development forums here and always follow the installation instruction of the specific Rom.
You'll get some nice features with JB (many of them I personally do not use).
But: I'm not convinced that you get increased performance with JB, I still think GB is the one to choose.
But 2: you have to check and compare this yourself.
But 3: I do not talk about battery life. My only answer to a reduced time of battery life is always: buy a new one.
If your device is too slow you could also try with a factory reset in GB and start with a clean device (after saving all your important data).
Well thank you very much.. i'm looking for the Fastest ROM for Gaming, f**k the colours, i'd rather play Windows 2000 with GTX titan card, rather than windows 8 with bad graphic card. I hope you get my point
So, any suggestions which ROM has the fastest performance?

Hey, believe me, dont try to upgrade JB on gaknote, its look like a sht, i was on that. It make a laggy-performance in all sides, gaming,graphics,tasking,etc. Keep your galnote running with ICS at max. I really so regret with a JB upgrade right now.

[Q] Perform a clean downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4

Hello there XDA.
First I would like to apologize if this has already been answered. I searched for the past 3 hours but did not find anything that would fully answer my questions.
So I have a Samsung GT-N7000 Galaxy Note running the stock 4.1.2 LT4 ROM (rooted). The device is unbranded and bought from Germany. Because it lags horribly everywhere, I want to get ICS and the old TouchWiz back, so I decided to downgrade to the latest ICS ROM that has TouchWiz 4, and, after searching, I found that it is N7000XXLRK.
These are my questions:
- what do I have to do to fully wipe the phone before I downgrade to N7000XXLRK, therefore completely removing any traces of older ROMs, in order to do a clean install? Do I have to use some option in PC Odin? Maybe wipe some partitions in Recovery (I have installed PhilZ CWM for LT4)? Cache, data, system, or maybe some others, too?
- what partitions are safe to wipe from CWM and what are not?
- what else should I do to ensure that the new ROM works properly?
- is there anything that needs to be backup-ed, aside from apps (I use TitaniumBackup for that) and all files on the sdcard and external_sd partitions?
I mention that before LT4 I had all Stock 2.3 ROMs, all Stock ICS ROMs 2 AllianceROMs and 3 leaked Jelly Bean ROMs.
Thanks in advance.
See friend... this is Easy, I think as you are on xxlt4 u must be running philz, c.o.h or speedmod//??.. if yes, boot to recovery and go to mount and storage option and then format everything... after that.. go to the bootloader, VOLdown+home+Power.. and then directly flash your ICS ROM, this would be a perfect clean install!!!
hit- THanks please

Hello NoteboyTech.
All right. Thanks for the answer. I will try it. Yes, I am on official XXLT4 with PhilZ CWM, but no custom kernel.
P.S. Have you or anybody else tested this before? I may be a little paranoid but I am afraid not to brick my device, as I have read that some users were unable to use the phone function after formatting /efs or /boot in CWM.

What is the most stable kernel? (aside from stock)
