I can't remember for sure, but backups made with an older recovery version won't restore on this version right? Is it still orange? The 4.x incredible 2 recovery is deep blue/purple, but I think it might be unique to that particular version. Pretty important difference I know.. But what might the benefits to the new version be?
Tried to wait and couldn't..
Flashed fine and all seems OK.
Honestly I don't see any difference. It's still orange.

I will wait for rom manager, better wait than sorry.
Not trying to be a **** but I don't think this should really be called CWM as Koush didn't make it. Unless he authorized someone else to mod it for him but the dev gives no indication that that was the case. I might be unaware that birdman took over CWM development in that case I apologize. It kind of misleads people into thinking this is from Koush and that they can expect it to show up in ROM Manager soon which it won't. Might have been better to name it Modded CWM 4.0.0.5.

to my understanding koush made cwm open source and this was built from his newest source (4.0.0.5) so technically it is still cwm
So only known advantages to upgrading is that you can wipe /datadata and /emmc?
What sort of significance do wiping these folders do?

Gotta love the early comments doubting it already, I'll give it a go...**** it People wonder why devs jump ship from xda...all because people comment out of place with stupid ****ing comments, seriously I love and hate this forum at the same time.

Thats cool and like I said I wasn't trying to disrespect birdman just the name he choose is confusing. I saw the thread title and said cool Koush is putting out a new CWM and kept checking ROM manager for it. Finally came back here and followed the link and saw it wasn't Koush's work and was dissapointed. I only download from a few trusted dev's and not into trying alpha's unless absolutely necessary. Like when my Eris lost is trackball function last summer and a guy I met in the forums made the group a version of amon's recovery that didn't need it.
if im running an old version of recovery (2.5) and i update to try out some new roms, i wont be able to restore my nandroid from 2.5?

Yes, I know that this subject has been beaten to death, but ONE more time:
Can anyone recommend a STABLE and FAST ROM for Galaxy Note?
I am totally disappointed with the JB stock ROMs in terms of speed. I've also been trying CM9 and CM10 at various stages, byt IMO CM is nowadays buggy as hell... gone are the good old days when Cyanogen was still in charge(?)
I tried PA some time ago, but it was a bit buggy too. I'm a bit curious about it however... maybe it's more stable now? I'd also prefer decent support for the stylus.
Alliance ROM maybe..but in terms of this questions!!people's mind are not identical . this is like asking which girl is the Best one for a permanent
girlfriend!!!be a man .go out there and explore the ROMs and from there u might be able to see for urself ^

I'm now on latest MIUI however my wife's Iphone 4S is still faster, smoother and stable...
And those who tell 'go and try' - i've already tried 4 custom roms and 3 custom kernels and i'm sick and tired of restoring data every time after those tries.
So if you can really suggest a good, fast and stable custom rom for daily use - please do.

Sorry, dude, was even unable to install this ROM - tried twice but no luck.
Setup started normally 2 times and then quit suddenly - kicked out of CWM.
It's so weird that they have the only option of ROM install via ROM Customizer (no CWM zip support).
Ended up with clean install of the Ultimate JB v5.2 ROM - will try and see how it goes.

have you tried here? - http://galaxynote.roms-db.com/
excellent selection of quality ROMs for you to try, depending on your preference / needs. there are no bad or "buggy" ROMs imho, it's just a matter of personal preference. CM10.1 with Dynamic screen mode, forced GPU and all animations switched off is perfect for me. But that's only my opinion

Slim Bean for me. I don't know how close to stock it is, but it seems very light on bloat. I did use Paranoid Android for a few weeks, but found stability going backwards the further it was developed. Maybe PA is good now, but I'm sticking with Slim.

The instructions are here - http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/installation. Make sure you read the page fully, including the warning in bold at the top, and that you understand everything before you start.
The instructions make sense to me, but I'm used to flashing. The instructions are not a full flashing tutorial and they only cover the key points specific to Slim Bean. Steps which would apply for all custom ROMs include....
1. You will need to install a custom recovery on your phone as the instructions cannot be followed using the standard Samsung recovery. This would be true for any custom ROM. There are various options for installing custom recovery. Telling you what to do is outside the scope of the ROM developer and the installation instructions for the ROM. Personally I install Philz kernel onto my stock ROMs in order to gain custom recovery features. Now that I have a custom recovery installed this is not a step I need to repeat every time I want to flash a new ROM. It's also why ROM installation instructions don't bother to mention this - it's assumed as a given.
2. It would be a wise precaution to create a Nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. A custom recovery will let you do this. While recommended, it is not a requirement for a new ROM install so it may or may not get mentioned in the instructions.
3. You will need to download the new ROM and Gapps to the phone. I download to external storage (the micro SD card).
4. Worth repeating - wiping/flashing always carries the (small) risk of something going wrong, which could in the worst case destroy your phone. Less dramatic problems might be boot hangs or boot loops. I've only got into a boot loop once, and that was because I tried to short cut the instructions. Fortunately I dug myself out of that hole by flashing a stock Samsung ROM using PC Odin. The risk is yours if you want to go ahead.
That's the best I can do to help. If anyone else cares to chip in to cover anything I've missed then feel free.
If you want a pure aosp experience use the supernexus rom.

You're right.
Always thought it was, but it seems it only has cherry picks from CM and AOKP.
Still, super nexus is built purely on AOSP code, and technically is 'closest to pure android'.

I just flashed Nightlies CM 13 frankly because it's the only one with a youtube video I can follow because THESE GUIDES assume that everyone reading them has EXP in flashing.
Anyways so I found a youtube video on how to flash from stock to CM Nightlies and so I was able to flash it yay! I find it very nice except for the damm keyboard which sometimes doesnt work until u refresh many times and it sometimes go on landscape mode even though the phone's on portrait (btw if u know a solution for this lemme know). Otherwise it's great, I have no issues with fingerprint and ...other stuff. Frankly im kind of a ressurected android because last android i had which i also flashed was Galaxy Y before switching to iOS jailbreaking.
But I saw Nuclear and I read it's the best blabalabla. So What I would like to ask is what am I missing from Nuclear?
~Stability? so far not encountering any stability issues with nightlies.
~Built in features? Nightlies seems to have the stuff I need.
Please tell me.
I apologize for the long post im just a babbler and im very new here.
You won't find any difference in stability really, between CM nigbtlies and Nuclear, or Bliss, or Dirty Unicorn ...
Is pretty much the same base, the difference will be in additional features and some tweaks
I can't say which is the best for you, by I advise you look on YouTube/google. You should be able to find videos or description.
Or if your feeling adventurous now that you know how to flsah, try them!

But in the case of the available Rom for ZUK atm there is not a big difference in everyday use in terms of stability etc.. mainly feature wise.

Im just not sure if I understand the descriptions for these mods even though Ive read all that's available... but I am curious about nuclear.
Since I just flashed Nightlies. Beforehand I flashed TWRP and Unlocked Bootloader but did not flash SuperSU as it said in the video I followed....
1.) ....Can I just go to fastboot and just restore factory settings and flash Nuclear directly?
2.) Will my files and apps stay? Have 10GB worth of music and 100 apps that I already set up and installed..not in the mood in doing them ALL over again.
Thanks!

1.) You have to go into TWRP and do factory reset. But do follow the instructions to install nuclearom in the rom thread!
2.) All files stored in INTERNAL STORAGE(see partitions within TWRP) will not be deleted.
Apps are stored in data and will be wiped and you have to install again unless you backup them eg with Titanium Backup(great tool for flashaholics).
Read carefully all necessary guides.

This is so vague, as it tells us nothing about what features you may be looking for, why you want a custom ROM, etc.
If you are just looking for something different, then sure, go for it. Similarly, if certain features of a custom ROM (or ROMs) look attractive, then go for it. There is really no downside, as unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty. And reversing any changes (returning to stock) is pretty easy as well.
On the other hand, stock OOS is amazingly good. Very little bloat or skinning, but with the right amount (IMO) of customization added. Many folks (myself included) accustomed to flashing custom ROMs to get the most out of their device, have been just happy with stock OOS. But of course, there is always room for improvement, tweaking, etc.
It's an individual choice. Most users of Android devices will never flash a custom ROM. Majority probably don't even know what that means.

First determine what you`re missing in stock OOS, find those features in a custom rom/kernel and flash it. Done

Its not just a rom or kernel that makes great batterylife, mobile reception strenght (modem ) and usage (apps, syncing, gaming yes or no) are vital too.
I'd go with FreedomOS or RRemix. Really LineageOS is mostly placebo battery fixes and an overabundance of customization options. Most of the lineage roms outside of RRemix are very unstable or just kinda useless. Hate to say it cuz some devs put lots of time in but Ive always found worse battery life with the same usage patterns on anything but stock.

In the time you've been waiting around for someone to make a decision for you; you could have just unlocked the bootloader and flashed a ROM (of even more than one) and be trying it yourself.
Just make a TWRP backup of the stock ROM (or otherwise, know how to return to stock with the official zip file) and you can easily revert if you don't like the ROM you flashed.
No point in waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. Everyone's opinion and preference is going to be different. Just because someone tells you to flash a ROM or not (or which one), doesn't mean that is the right answer for you as an individual.
Even things like battery life and performance are going to vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your device (as others have also mentioned). Then also throw in the differences in personal preferences and tastes; and the result is that you can't go by the direction of others. You need to decide for yourself.

I will try lineage with sultanxda kernel. I hear it has amazing battery life.
I also like Resurrection Remix , but I suppose, it has bad battery life, but I'm not sure.
I've tried a handful of roms... they're all just fine in my opinion but I seem to always end up back on the Oxygen stock rom. I root, but that's about it. I just can't get over how well Oxygen OS is running these days compared to my OP2 ... Just flash and try! You won't hurt anything, and if you do you have a 99% chance of fixing it!
