Dear xda-developers:
I have galaxy note with CM10.1 nightly of March the 10th. It's good and stable to a very good level compared to the stock ICS I had before.
I want to flash more recent nightlies or perhaps try new ROMs. How frequent is it safe to do this? I read about people who are flashing on a daily basis but also, I read about people who damaged their phone memory by repeated flashing.
Thank You
Re: [Q] How frequent is it safe to flash nightlies?
I flash mine every chance I get with updates on my ROM been flashing it for over a year with no problems

It is safe to flash as much as you like IF you are on a safe kernel. On a stock(non safe kernel), you are vulnerable to the brick bug.

As long as u follow the direction that's given in every thread, i guess there's nothing to be worried to flash it repeatedly.

Maybe it wasn't the point of your thread, but... Do you know the CyanDelta updater app? It allow you to update your cm nightly simply downloading few mb, instead of download the whole rom and flash it again and again. Search in on market. I hope it is helpful

You can't flash another ROM from any ICS-based ROM. Some Samsung ICS kernels cause a so called brick bug, which causes your device to brick (read: it won't boot anymore) because Samsung ****ed something up with the internal memory. If you do a full wipe while on a stock or aosp ROM, you risk bricking your device.
The fastest way (it's not really fast tho) to flash other ROM's at this moment is to revert back to a gingerbread rom, root it, get CWM (clockworkmod recovery) and flash your ROM from recovery or odin, whatever you like.
You're now on a ICS based rom (CM9), which means if you attemt to flash another rom now and you need to do a full wipe, chances are you'll end up with a bricked phone.
Try the "revert back to Gingerbread" method to be sure you will not brick your device. There are plenty of tutorials around here to help you along with this method.

No, it needs to be flashed with cwm. You'll get an unsigned zip error if you try with mobile odin and flash will fail. Follow instructions on all roms and you won't have any problems.

I thought with abyss kernel you can flash with ics?
Woah im a lucky guy that i havent bricked my note.
i just rooted my sister's galaxy tab gt-p1000 which is in gingerbread in ages now... being so frustrated she decided to let me root t and install a custom rom, rooting done now my next step is to put a good,smooth,versatile rom into the tab,.. i see some jellybean ,ics roms in the developement and frankly i dont know which one is best. nobody likes ramdom FC's so i hope i can find a rom that is stable too.
query: i was wondering if i flashed the CM9 ics for p1tab. do i just flash straight from gingerbread to cm9 ics? where can i get the gapps too?
You know xda doesn't allow "best rom" question.
You try out the roms and make your own decision.
About flashing ics, you need cwm recovery.
Gapps here
http://goo.im/gapps
Cm9 is ics.
Cm10 is jb.
Grab the right version.

cool... definitly gonna try that one out... what makes this your favorite rom considering its stable?
is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523174
Sorry but I've closed this thread as has already been said, best/most stable ROM threads have no place on the forums as it's so subjective to opinion. Lots of people have different opinions and also just because a ROM is stable on one device it may not be on another as devices don't react the same.
As suggested try them out for yourself and find the one that's best for YOU as that's what matters
Thanks

Hi there! I would like to ask these:
1. Is it necessary to do a factory reset every time you flash a rom? What is this feature useful for?
2. Which do you think it's the best Jelly bean rom for the galaxy note? (im currently using CM10 Nightlies.)
Thank you very much

If you are updating your rom like changing from nightly to nightly on cm10 most likely you won't need to factory reset.. Factory reset its not a feature its a procedure... And you can only perform this procedure from a safe kernel (cm9/10 kernels /Hydracore /speedmod) because of the emmc brick bug...
In order to be able to change roms or to fix some issue like wake locks or hang ups sometimes you gotta factory reset..
FOR ME best JB are samsung TW UX based roms.. Xls7 with multi windows its a beast.. AOSP Roms are way behind samsung
Tapatalking on my n7000
I like the PA: Utacka ROM
1. Depending on the rom and the OP.
2. pa by utacka is the rom for me.
Hi my name is Luxor and i am a flashoholic but thanks to paranoid android i've been clean for weeks.
Thanks for the info! Could you please share the link for the rom you are using? Is that jelly bean as well?
Is it a good idea to flash that through mobile Odin pro? I did not see a factory reset option just the cache cleaning ones in Odin.
Secondly, does it matter which gapps file I use when flashing? There are several ones of different dates.
I'm new to all this do my questions I'm sure are silly, but quite enjoying the rooted phone.
Thank you a lot!

roms are available in the development section of this forum, the opening post describes if they are jelly bean or ics based
you cant flash custom roms through mobile odin
you have to use gapps for JB with a JB based rom and gapps for ics with an ics based rom, its best to use the most recent releases, then you can choose between multidpi and inverted varieties..... your choice
On sweetrom for a day, everything seem good. Can consider flashing!

I am on TMT 5 JB rom and I am happy with this rom. The rom is smooth with good battery life and I like the muti window feature. I was on paranoid rom which I also like for a while. With the multi-window feature I do not think I will go back to paranoid rom unless it has the same feature.
I have decided for TMT 5 as well, downloaded it and has some great features, the icons seem rather blocky but I can make my peace with that given the extras. Could anyone share the link where the updates of that rom are? Have found this initial version but not where the changelogs are. Thanks a lot!

I'm an advocate for the best rom, so:
Don't use ICS... simple as that... It uses way too much memory, and although the rom is FASTER than any GB rom, it scores close to 2800-2900 in Antutu, compared to 2500-2600 for stock GB, the speed advantage dissapears very fast when the RAM is full (usually you work with 100 -90 MB) and the constant swapping makes the device unusable... you could get away for some time by using a cleaned (custom) rom, but... it's more of the same actually!
I tried custom kernels, some custom roms, but are all the same, recovery is a pain in the ass to get it installed so... yeah... don't use it or wait for 30D, maybe it's better!
As you are new to the device, my advice is better grounded by the fact that ICS is more strict security wise and you could get a brick in more ways than GB, if you update to stock ICS, and install a recovery, you get a brick and so on... try to know the device or read very very well before flashing a ICS rom, or better use only nandroid backups that you flash from your custom recovery...
Is it safe to install a custom rom on n7000, because of it's brickbug? (If yes, please help me how to install and which one to install)
I've never installed any custom ROM nor have i rooted till now. And mine has the 'brickbug'.
And i would also like to know what version OS i wil get on my device and whether the S-Pen feature remain intact ( S-note and
stuff). I just want my note to be smooth, fast and battery miser because i am now on official 4.1.2 it lags a lot and is battery hungary.
Looking forward for detailed help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Yes it is safe to install all recent custom roms. Probably even safer than staying on stock.
Your s-pen will still work, with every rom i tried. however, if you do not go for a stock-based rom, Samsung apps(including S-note) will not.
Also, consider the age of your battery. Your poor battery life may be related to an old battery. (Still, flashing a different rom should improve it.)
1st you need to root your device safely:

Flash philz kernel in recovery and you will be safe from brickbug, although only few cases of brickbug have been reported in JB, it is there on ICS for sure. So just flash philz kernel and reboot recovery before flashing anything from there, then read the instructions in the custom rom thread of your choice and follow.
If you dont mind, can u explain a bit more on how to flash and what exactly it is

I actually prefer this method of rooting, and installing a custom recovery, and "fixing" emmc brickbug all in one flash.
After that, follow the instructions in the first post of the rom you are flashing.

With all that cautions about bricking. And with every thread op that says we are not responsible if you brick your device. People get really scared esp. of they are not fluent in English.
You can't blame them for being extra cautious.
