Help.... Firmware frenzy - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

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.

Thanks a lot... So first right now... I should take a back up with titanium backup... Then flash the philz kernel.. Which one to flash? Sorry if I'm sounding totally noobish
I hardly get time from clinical work...

JB not good?
Plz reply and thanks a lot for ur patience

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..
Tapashocked via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my my choice !

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.

[q] which ics roms are safer as of now?

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!

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

Cassie's xtralite room. Most stable, most speed, less bugs, best deep sleep despite being a gb rom.
after flashing many original development roms, I'm back to xtralite rom and I'm not planning to flash another for quite awhile.
it's not the latest and greatest but hey, you asked. Peace out.
Alliance Rom! You just need to go into Android Develeopement thread and see which is the most popular one :laugh:
I was on Alliance ICS Final for a long time and this is the most stable and absoultely smoothest rom , but it is ICS, you may try if you like...
Now I am switched to Alliance XXLSC, requires the installation of some fix over the Rom customizer, but worth the effort. I just installed 240dpi mod and a few others with nova launcher and it is amazing... contains everything you requested in your first post
EDIT: you know that the stock ICS kernel is not safe for wiping? be sure that first thing you need to do is flash a safe kernel if you are on ICS (from stock recovery it is best to flash PhilZ kernel first, then you can continue to rock )
the best is Stock official rom preinstalled on your NOTE.

oh...if this rom is what you want, you should buy a Note 2 instead of flashing a jellybean daily driver for Note 1. I'll be flashing a multiview rom soon but I don't expect to be on it for very long.
stability is what I want too.

If you want a pure stock ics, try a XXLRT. The german version, ,you can download it from sammobile.com . And flash it through PC-odin. For me it is the most smooth and stable stock ics rom. I have used it for about 3months without any problems or FC.

Thank you mate will give it a shot
Although i flashed yesterday a 4.0.4 RocketRom v12 i advice you to try it its XXLRK very smooth very fast and tell me if you try it which is faster
Rocketrom or XXLRT
Thnx again mate

You have to know, that the battery save mode slows your phone. I try it o my stock XXLRK, and the result is that the phone is very laggy and slow.
Some people us it for longer battery life, but the price is a slow phone.

The base of RocketRom v12 is XXLRT, not XXLRK. RocketRom v12 is a great custom rom, with a lot of nice features. So it is a better choice than a stock rom if you want all nice features out of the box.
But I thought you wanted a pure stock ics rom
If you ask me which is faster My favorites 3 is:
3. Stock XXLRT - good stock rom, if you want it pure stock (used it for a long time)
2. Alliance Final XXLRT - great custom rom, if you prefer ICS, try it with HC 4.3b kernel, rock solid, and very smooth (used it since realeased, until the JB leaks become usable for daily use)
1. Alliance XXLSC beta1.1 - best custom JB rom, if you like JB. Working without any problems since it is realesed, with all fancy suff available from JB, and it is buttery smooth. (i liked it, because it has a option to flash it pure lite, without any samsung app, after flashing you can choose which one you want it back. It feels like you have your own custom rom. And it is just perfect)

[Q] New to droid, asking for help

I have recently switched to droid from iOS and I am very confused about rooting.
I have NoteCore kernel on 4.0.4 and I am looking for a custom ROM to flash
I don't know anything about roms and I was only following a guide when I got NoteCore so a good explanation along with ROMs would be good
I want to know what is the best rom for a galaxy note in your opinion, I am not really looking for much. just it has to be quick and have S pen support (I dunno if all roms have that)
also any other cool stuff to add to my note
sorry for all these questions but iOS has so little customization I am just used to everything being served on a plate
many thanks, razzile
(sorry if this is in the wrong section)

This is my review for ultimate jb.i used stock roms for a year.so dont try to have a high jump.you may brick your phone.i used a zip file in recovery to root my n7000.i dont feel comfortable with odin.
I think you can find good info if you search root galaxy note.
Read my thread and i'll be happy to hear from you my friend
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
if you are on Notecore kernel, you must be already rooted and have CWM and notecore is a safe kernel too.
so you can go about flash custom roms.
here is a list of roms that you can choose from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847786
read the reviews and features .. "my best might not be your best"
Well its accourding to your taste you have to try touchwiz ROM like alliance or ultimate or cyanogenmode like asylum (the best for now) then you will decide touchwiz or CM Every one of them have a dozens of custom roms
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Rooting, recovey etcetra.That is the explanation
Links to custom roms can be found in Android development and Original Android Development sections.Look there
Well NoteCore has CWM Recovery with Root Access.
I Suggest you to flash
Ultimata JB v5.1
OR
Angry V3.
Both with airview multiwindow and Note 2 features.Check them out.

If you are new to android I would stick to a stock ICS rom with PhilZ kernel until you feel comfortable with how android works. In my opinion the leaked JB roms are not recommendable for a beginner, they still contain bugs. And I would not directly go to a custom rom too because it takes at least som knowledge to fix the problems you might encounter. With a stock ICS rom.in combination with the PhilZ kernel you have root rights, CWM to nand backups (system images),.everything you need for a good android experience. That's a good base to start. And as soon as you get to know the os better you can start using custom roms if you like.

TouchWiz Rom question

i always used OASP ROMS mostly of PAm very good but now i did see a touchqiz rom online with multiple windows support etc. I sure wanne give it a try. Does anyone know which ROM is stable and safe wiht futures like this:
Also, im on ParanoidAndoird with PIE, and on utackas kernal. Can i just wipe rom and flash trough cwm or is it safer to get back to GB and then reroot and thenm flash with cwm?
thnx in advance
utackas and cm kernels are safe. Try Ultate XXLSC v.5.1 by joosh3.

mm had my eye also on that rom, seems good, pictures added and updated frequently, so just do full wipe cache dalvik and install this rom? then flash philzz?? or stay at rom stock kernal? im pretty new with touchqiz roms and i also not sure if XXLSC can be flashed on my n7000? does it have any reason why that is in the title or can i just flash?

The kernel you're flashing before installing Rom doesn't matter since with v4 will be replaced by PhilZ 3.1 for XXLS7
