Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)

Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091

This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.

thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

this is not a rom problem , 1st time i heard about this issue , specially when u think the caused is by the Overcome Gingerbread .. its quit impossible
i think its network problem

Premature answer k0sh. It can be a software issue Modem specifically
OP please tell me who is your carrier? Did you follow the overcome guide?

THX for the answers. I followed the guide exactly. My carrier is 3 Hutchinson - Austria.

Have you tried flashing different modems? Try the old Froyo modems + new Gingerbread ones and test your SMS and mobile data.

After Firmware Upgrade .. i see a LAG on my Note.

I did a Firmware OTA last week and since then i feel the LAG on my Galaxy Note...
Symptoms are more Visible while Performing the Scroll in the Contacts...
Scrolling mp3 in the MediaPlayer .. While Opening SMS message it kinda LAG while opening ... I tried Factory reset & stuff like that ... nothing improved the Performance.
What is the Problem ? anyone else is facing this isssue ?...
It so Sucks to see this on a Galaxy Note which has 1.4Ghz dualCore Processor and 1GB RAm. huh...
I really feel like going back to old Firmware that i had when i brought the phone in Jan/2012.

Thanks
Sai

Try to factory reset device, it will remove if any system junks.

"After sometime the lag comes back..."
Sounds like its an app or combination of apps you download/install.

I`am not fond of updates and always try to flash the whole rom. Download the rom for your country/region from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. Install Odin 1.85. Do a data wipe/factory reset in recovery mode and cache wipe. Go in downloadmode and connect to Odin and flash the unzipped rom you downloaded. Usually that is much better.
Good luck

I don't know guys why you are facing this problem, I have same ROM n i dont have any issue. It is not necessary but i always like to update my ROM with clean installation.
I mean before update i like to hard reset my device, another thing i never update my device with Kies/OTA. b'coz it erases Root.
So here is best way to get update.
First downgrade to older ROM
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1
you will find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Read post #2 of above thread regarding Installation guide.
Now if you are interested then You can get Root + CWM (use my guide)
Now after root, you can have Data backup, you can use Titanium backup / Mybackup Pro
Hard reset device.
Now you can update latest ROM (use same tread as above for ROM)
with using CWM/Mobile Odin
You can restore your data, which you have backed up earlier
( You should not restore system part, as it may inject old junk)
Now you will have clean update ROM on your device.

Thanks a lot brother ketan ...
Well , going by the Good ole saying "First Impression is the best Impression"...
I felt the initial firmware is much better .. hence i used your Step by step Procedure to flash old firmware and here i am .. back to Level 1...
Now I feel my Phone is super Fast ... and I really have to think 100 times from now before i plan to do a Firmware update... I fine with the DEC 2011 Firmware Version.
Thanks to all the Folks who Participated in this thread...
Its worth a share of knowledge.
Have a Blast folks ......
Thanks a Ton again .
Sai

But experience of new rom also not less charming!
And now u have old rom handy, (n of course experience to downgrade) so after some time your finger gets itchy to feel new ROM
But really it's wonderful.

Hi,
as i understand, you wanted to upgrade your tab from the stock android 2.2 rom (froyo) to a custom rom 2.3.3 (gingerbread), you need to do some preparations to your system before flashing the new rom, attched a good guide to how to do it properly, take a look at it and follow it carefully and your tab should be alive again

Will kies detect phone
