As much as I love CM9 and AOKP from my Captivate days, at this moment in time, I cannot recommend them over "regular" ICS Roms.
Performance from my most recent test is still behind ICS not to mention missing features like MHL.
I currently prefer this:

As soon as CM9/AOKP gets there, then I am of course moving to those as I expect them to be just as good as they were on my Captivate

I prefer the paranoid android rom. It's the best thing that I have ever run on my note.

if you like the stock Gingerbread launcher then stock ICS for the note is great for you.
ofcoarse you can put different launchers i had Apex on the UK ICS release and it was very awsome but.. not as smooth as how Apex runs on CM9
And if you use the SPen functionality which i really..as hard as i want i cant really see my self in using theres an app that functions very much the same as SMemo..
is just called memo just check the Themes and Apps section.
it is pen sensitive is amazing..as good as the SMemo so really..no more missing that extra 1% functionality
also another reason why cm9 is that much better is that...
4.0.4 as oppose to Samsungs 4.0.3
i cant recommend enough..
but make sure if you're coming to either one stock or custom i recommend
for stock UK ICS
and custom CM9
make sure to follow the instructions for installing CM9 ..as you need to revert to a rootable GB rom (2.3.5) and root from there and install CM9 from there..
so read read and..after that read more the install instructions

OP, I don't think you've given us a shred of info about what would make a good ROM for you.

your right leppo and my bad...to me my main preferences in a rom and the ability to change options and speed they are the most important....I love the have my rom themed out as well preferably black...

I was on almost-stock GB for a long time and never really used S Memo.
For me, the S-Pen is a great tool for illustration, but to take quick notes I still much prefer to type everything instead.
As such, CM9 and any of its derivatives for me (currently Paranoid Android).

Have to agree, tried all kinds of roms gb and ics, stock to modded, but the best thing I have come across is paranoid android.

Paranoid Android will always top the chart for me
I love the smoothness in Tablet mode! While accessing Citrix from Tablet mode, everything seems to be in place and perfect zoom! Whilst on phone mode I struggle to read my applications..
+1 for Paranoid Android!

I'm currently running KingDroid. This has the new Touchwiz 5.0/SIII look, which in my opinion is much better looking than the old.
The KingDroid also got all of the S Memo/ S Planner apps.

Most stable ICS rom?

Hello
I am trying to flash an stable ICS rom for my brothers phone but I really can't find anyone without major bugs. CM9 = to much bugs, Nyx RC 5.0 is just pure ****, Slim ICS (what the **** is wrong with the font?) So can someone recommend me a nice and clean ICS rom that is stable enough for daily use?

I just installed CM9 today and it works pretty good despite the camera and the radio (and now there are alternatives to avoid those bugs too).

CM9 is sluggish as hell so I wouldn't recommend that either. However I don't really understand your font issue with Slim ICS. It does only have 5 system languages but you can install additional fonts to display languages via the "Updater" app included.
In your case as you've eliminated Slim ICS, I guess ICS333 (Team 3xtr3m3) is probably the best one out there. AOSP based with toggles from AOKP and offers a good balance between performance and battery life, with no bugs I can really tell.

Team-Nyx (RC5) yet the most stable rom for me on ics and its pure AOSP

Actually I find cm9 to be the fastest. I've gotten the highest benchmarks compared to slim ics, aokp, etc. Plus I have a bit more trust on cyanogenmod than aokp. Team nyx is pure ics stock but its really slow. Cm9 all the way for me always.

Hi !
Unfortunately, though ICS is extremely good the Custom ICS has it's quirks !
This is because they are developed without source codes from Samsung and no matter how good they are, at a certain point they show their lack of support which they never received from the manufacturer in the first place and therefore after a few days ( or if lucky, weeks) things don't work properly and needs reboots frequently.
Having ICS is like having a short love affair.
Use Gingerbread or change phones.
Sad fact, but true.
Look at the custom ICS camera and look at the original ICS camera. Do you think that we are going to get all the goodies in the SGS ?
Similarly, there are many great features of ICS which the developers cannot give us.
Time to move on.
Take care.

Stable ROM
Hello the most stable ROM was RC4.2 with semaphore 1.1.1
Now I am on RC5 from Team Nyx. It's stable. The only thing that doesn't work is YouTube. Flashing another kernel from Devil (2_0.94) will help.

Hi.
Can you please stop posting these opinions as facts, when the "problems" can easily be fixed. This is a development forum, at least it used to be, and you cannot expect everything to work right out of the box like official stock firmware (even though it does most of the time). It's not like you've been scammed by a car salesman selling you a car without an engine.
No offense intended, but please stop it.

U r correct . In fact, perhaps I might go back to ICS again cause in reality, Gingerbread is not user friendly....there I go again...

Rom: Elite RC v1.3
Kernel: midnight 202L
Launcher: Apex Launcher with sense4.0 dock
Theme:Sense 4.0 for EliteRom

I can highly recommend ICS333 2.0.1 with Semaphore kernel. Perfectly stable, not one reboot so far. It's fast, simple and works well in every way.

It's all just opinions, try them out

Everybody has his own taste, some people like AOSP, some people like AOKP, some people like CM9 while some people like slim ROM regardless with few bugs ... also there are people here in this forum (like you) who install ROMs incorrectly n find it **** (yes i am pointing to Team Nyx's ROM). When you have tried some of the ROMs, why don't you try all of the ROMs?
p.s. Team Nyx's AOSP is the only ICS ROM I found stable and less battery consuming after slim, this is only my point of view.

So...What about Jelly Bean, Android 4.1?

Well, Google has announced an incremental update to Ice Cream Sandwich, called Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and it's Phone and tablet UI like ICS.
Little info here.
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html
So, it's using ICS and Honeycomb driver model, but there are other things like the so-called "LAG free" that seems to be a real change inside android, but I think devs will get a workaround. So, is possible to port this new update?

Maybe, hope that ...
Right now we still haven't stable Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS),
But I think if we -hope soon, then we could have a stable Cyanogenmod 10 (Jelly Bean) .. What ????!!!! Cyanogenmod 10 !! looks good
Thanks for news
Best Regards

Seems it's not a bug update..close to ics, so just might happen.

Don't forget about hardware limitation.
We won't get all the features from Jelly Bean. Even ICS, we won't.
I think CM9 is already a magical ROM coming for us.
To have a Jelly Bean, it's quadratic magic! lol.
Let's hope we have CM9 without bugs and then AOKP too.
For now, it's more logical.

We have not got ICS till yet and you are talking about jelly bean
Still a long way to go
Real Contributors Dont BeG for Thanks
Cheers

Like I knew somebody is going to ask is somebody going to port JB to our device... it does not give us THAT much improvements to spend time on development.
And, what everybody said above, even ICS is not usable (no camera, lack of RAM, lots of bugs). Luckily, i'm happy with my Gingerbread CM7.2, and i'm just watching the situation closely

ICS CM9 Camera?
Can someone tell me whether Camera is working on the most recent CM9 ROM (GalaxyICS) for Galaxy mini.
I heard that Camera is somewhat working and we may have a working Camera in the next release. Is this true, someone give some info on this, please.

We already have a working camera in the new upcoming cm 9
Then there will be bug updates though fm radio has a long way to go but stock ics can still get a radio so we can hope cm 10 or jelly bean to start by next year minimum, and cheers.

Don't get over-excited guys, ics barely works on gmini right now due to low ram *edit* low EVERYTHING, and I assume that jellybean will simply be more resource-demanding, so just pull your horses until we get properly working ics m'kay? To be honest, I don't believe that we will ever get cm9/ics as stable as cm7, simply due to hardware limitations of galaxy mini.

Next year this phone will be the worstest of the worst... cmon, 600MHz processor in 2013?
Forget about Jelly Bean, we still have bugs in ****ing gingerbread (camera orientation), ICS is not stable enough too...

it is possible to make a buggy android 4.1 port from gnexus ...
but i dont think that that will be cool xD
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

Galaxy Nexus is ARMv7. Just wait for the source.

Question first...Why port something we know won't ever be able to run stable on our device because we don't have drivers which is kept close sourced?
And also that drivers just can't be compiled as with happened to the Adreno200 drivers for ICS to armv6.
You need to rewrite the whole code, possibly even write new code to drivers for our device. And I doubt the people who make these drivers and publish these sort of stuff want to spend any extra work on trying to make it work on our devices.
We'll be stuck with Gingerbread guys. End of story.

No, JB is a "small" update. Drives from ICS will work fine on JB. So, it may even be a little faster. Anyway, I will try to build it when source comes out.

sry not the kernel, it needs to be modded -.-

Best TW JB ROM for Note?

Hi, guys...
I have tried and flashed JB Rocket ROM and it was quite good, esp. v2 where pretty much everything worked, but yesterday and today suddenly I can't use my mobile data. Wifi Internet great, but no mobile Internet, no matter how many times I reboot and press "mobile data" button.
SO, my question is: what is the next best TW based JB ROM, since v3 of RR won't be coming because eybee got stressed out over the stupidity and idiotic behaviour of some forum members and he was so close to finishing v3, apparently. Bloody jerks! Respect to him and all the devs.
Hey, can somebody tell the big boys to try and make something like a weekly poll/statistics of which ROMs are most downloaded, which are best rated and stable. It would help a lot and save time spend on questions and aswers regarding this. You know, like when you buy stuff on Amazon, you pick 4/5 star products and then choose from the best of the crops.

Btw, if I understand correctly TW roms are Stock based but tweaked? So it means that it's possible to use Snote etc?

Alliance is a great rom but have you tried the Ultimate v4 LS7 rom?

If you don't care about battery life, which is the fastest?

I have tried Ultimate JB ROM v4 (LS7 based) and so far it is great, fast, battery great too... Alliance ROM sounded interesting, and people in that forum/thread say it is great, but I was put off by "beta 1" thing. Ultimate is ultimate, right?
I think that till the middle of December we should see great, stable and full functional ROMs based on LS9. Can't blame me for hoping, right?

I have used alliance rom before, and right now i'm using Ultimate rom , it is very good and smooth enough, it has very useful OTA updater and i think it's best JB rom todays.

U should definitely give a try to RR ( Rocket Rom ) from eybee 1970 OR
Alliance rom from Robbie hood !! They r awesome developers .... Love using their roms !!
Also m juz waitin for Official Jb release by Sammy and new kernels !!

Do you know what I would like to see? I would like to see reviews, benchmarks and such. This android community is so awesome, but there is so much unused potential. So much that doesn't reach out the way it could have.
I would like to see proper, clean wikis with information and manuals. I would like to see reviews, pros and cons with the ROMs, benchmark to justify the verdicts and so on.
Instead, one is left with personal opinions - which isnt wrong or bad in any way, but not always enough. A "professional" review is made for the sake of the review and therefore able to tell us more.
With that said, I would like to ask if there is a 4.2.2 that is TW based. Couldn't find any - I found this thread though

Trust me , ICS is even bettter than GB ...
JB is good , but battery drains like a heck and got some random reboots , so i highly recommend an ICS rom.

Pros of ICS:
-Solid as hell with good battery
-Smooth
-Fast
-A lot of Jelly Bean apks and mods can also be used on ICS
Cons of ICS:
-Development has mostly stopped (except kevinrus )
-Lack of features compared to Jelly Bean (which some people don't like)
Pros of Jelly Bean:
-HW acceleration (which tends to be hit and miss on our device sometimes)
-Built in features such as Expandable notifications, lockscreen widgets etc
-Extra features such as Halo and in general more customiseable ability
-Latest and greatest
Cons of Jelly Bean:
-HW acceleration really does take its toll on a single core device with only so much ram
-Because builds are released daily they aren't always stable and may have bugs
-Increased battery consumption naturally
4.3 builds are a lot better than 4.2 builds though, despite being in early stages, the few builds of CM10.2 I've tried were excellent

I agree with @Soryuu that 4.3/CM10.2 is a huge improvement compared to all 4.2 ROMs, it's faster and gives double battery life. Check my new thread posted this afternoon, I posted guide how to cleanly upgrade and have bug-free working CM10.2
