Clean reinstall ICS - need help choosing the right ROM

Getting sick of the ICS battery and kernel issues and have decided to clean out the phone and install everything fresh.
I am currently on an unrooted stock ICS ROM (N7000XXLRK) and understand that I should go back to a GB ROM first then install ICS. I will search on here for a guide on how to do it (links welcome ) but am confused as to which ROM I should use of the many stock ROMs posted on here.
Since I am going to do a clean install, is it worth going back to the XXLRK ROM or is there an improved one which has sorted the battery kernel issues out? Which GB ROM can I safely go back to without confusing things before I reflash ICS?
Is it recommended that anything else is added or flashed while I have the hood up? Unless there is an uber stable custom ROM I want to stay stock, but will want to root it.

you recommend using a 4.03 version over a 4.04?
Will this still have the kernel problem with deep sleep and excessive battery usage?

You can also have the latest version Which is LRK base.
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/164510335/d5dc587/N7000XXLRK_N7000DBTLRK_DBT.zip.html
First Downgrade to GB and then upgrade to this ICS Stock ROM.
JUST DON'T EVER WIPE WITH STOCK ICS KERNEL. USE A CUSTOM KERNEL LIKE NOTECORE,SPEEDMOD ETC.

upgrading to the latest ICS kernel doesn't necessarily guarantee that your deep sleep and excessive battery usage woes will go away.... your deep sleep and battery drain issues are subjective and have lots of factors that might contribute to it.
Don't let the notion fool you into thinking that your issues(above) will simply be resolve by simply upgrading to the latest firmware. Because I'll tell you now.. it will not still. (infact there have been people complaining that upgrading to the latest ICS one have increase more their battery drain than ever before), unusual as it may seem... but it has been complained about already.
Just like to let you know that...

First thing I am just wondering why this quoting is broked ? looks like something is broken in this thread.
Second thing I didn't advised anyone (not the op) that your issues will be resolved by just doing the things mentioned above. Confused ? Check OP.I am currently on an unrooted stock ICS ROM (N7000XXLRK) and understand that I should go back to a GB ROM first then install ICS. I will search on here for a guide on how to do it (links welcome ) but am confused as to which ROM I should use of the many stock ROMs posted on here.
Third I was just answering him the question he asked in "OP"
Fourth if you are facing deep sleep issues or your device is not going to deep sleep mode then OP can try this..
Turn ON the Airplane Mode.
Switch Off your Phone.
Take the battery OUT for a minute or TWO
Put it back and start your phone.
Wait for everything to load
Turn off the Airplane Mode.
After that you can check the same in CPUSPY

Thanks for that.
I have tried the method you describe and also looked at CPUSpy with BBS and on top of that I have the keyboard lockup issue too in Chrome.
It seems that the quality of the phone is completely lower since the ICS updates with it not providing a full day of use on one charge as well as me having to be careful about bleutooth/wifi usage and time that I use the phone to surf. Quite ridiculous really and I haven't had to use a smartphone like this since the days of the HTC Diamond.
Before I revert back to GB and be done with it, I want to try an nice clean ICS install and give it one last chance, unless there is a custom ICS ROM you think I should consider.

Ahoi,
i thing i have a question to this thread.
If i am curently on stock ROM germany open N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB (after rooting, simlock unlocking and unroot)

Yes, using pc odin you can flash what you like. If you want good battery, it's worth doing a clean install ie perform data wipe/factory reset to clear any old mess, obviously if you're going onto ics make sure you have a safe kernel before performing any wipes at all.
To be honest though, for ICS you're getting pretty good battery life, I doubt you'll top it except going back to GB.
All the best, let us know how you get on.

Yes, I understand that WipeAll is the best way. But this mean, flash safe kernel = root (or can i just flash safe kernel on my stock ICS via PC odin? )
And root ICS = go to GB directly rooted kernel and....etc.
In my old Galaxy Spica I have change kernel or mod (rom) every month but was always just 2.2 froy. So no worry about it.
And still i am reading all thread of all rom in XDA. No rom is perfect. Its working but sometimes some bugs...so i am tired (2 years with Spica) of looking for the best kernel for my note.
Now i want just one normal working with a little good live of battery
btw. What is your live of battery on custom kernel 4.0.3. ? If you say i have pretty good battery i will not it change

Firstly battery: ics swallows a lot more juice than gb, so what you're getting is pretty good. I'm currently on paranoid android jb beta 1.4 with Beastmode kernel and getting roughly 8 hours with 4 hours screen on. I use it a lot! When I was on pure ics 4.03 I was getting around the same.
Roms and kernels: if you flash an already rooted gb, you can do so now with pc odin and it will automatically root. When you've done that, check to see if cwm is installed as it may be part of the package in which case your good to go, if not just flash a Chainfire kernel. Then you have cwm recovery (vol up, home and power) and flash this rom package which includes a safe kernel.
Hope that makes sense.

I presume these ROMs have their kernels built in.
Would you thus recommend one of these custom ROMs for my requirements over say stock ICS with perhaps a different kernel? I am not really looking for lots of features as I would like to build up the apps on my own, ie shut out bloatware. I would like it to be stable and have at least 15 hours of battery life with 3-4 hours screen time, which is what I enjoyed with GB. How do you think CM9 fits in with your selection?
Last flashing I did was on a Dell Streak which was easy as there was only DJ Steve at the time, Seems with the Note I am starting again from scratch, completely different flash process and loads of ROMs. Sort of blinded by it all to be honest

Have you tried playing with the cpu governors ? But considering the early state of jelly bean development, you should be patient, I think none of the rom are really rady for daily use.

well..I have to say that I had the same problem..
1-st download from market GetRil to see if you have baseband compatibility it may be an issue there. If so fix it, is really easy.
If problem is not solved. I guarantee that changing kernel will do the job. I recommend siyah.

Follow these steps ;
1- install busybox data on your device !
2- go to CWM and wipe cauch ,delvik and battery .
3- reboot your device .
4- enjoy ^=^

[Q] MIUI battery charging issue

Hey folks, I have tried all the custom roms available for the SGN in the MIUI environment, but with every rom, an issue exists, and that is the battery charging issue. The battery charges very slowly, and suddenly shows 100%, and when i disconnect the charger it comes back to 30-%40%. I tried wiping battery stats, no success. Even tried changing kernels.
The roms i have tried:
1. MID team MIUI
2. Rocket MIUI
3. miuiandroid_ics-3.1.18
4. MIUI-Note-2.5.11
Kernels tried are :
1. Philz
2. Hydracore
3. TheMIDTeam1.5_Kernel_LQ2
4. AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo
Help me out guys!

[Q] Jelly Bean 4.1.2 hangs a lot!

Hey guys
I am running JB 4.1.2 on my Galaxy S Advance. First I was really pleased about the new functions, the additional speed and the new the design.
( I was running 2.3.6)
But now my mobile hangs a lot, if I'm watching videos, playing music or if I just go on facebook.
I've used the instructions of this video and I've done exactly the same as showed. /watch?v=2W2NVfGJ0Cc
Do you have any ideas, how I can speed up my phone?
Maybe with an other kernel, an other ROM or something like that.

just root ur phone, use a custom kernel like cocre or thunderzap.
i use cocore 3.3 and in no frills, set governor to pegasusq and i/o to sio.

i am using stock rom XXLQ4 with cocore 3.3 kernel and no frills config: governor-pegasusq and i/o-sio
still if u feel the phone lags which i dont think it will, u can enable forced gpu rendering in developer options, although u may experience screen flickering.

try Thunderzap 4.1 kernel and wipe cache/dalvik. See if there's any difference. It worked for me.

my phone also hangs quite a lot, a few times a day when i want to unlock my phone it just shows the last used app (be it the launcher or any other app) and doesn't respond except for the power button. when i press the power button the screen locks, but when pressing again it's still frozen.

It has been a long time since we have custom kernels and roms. Use CoCore E kernel and some custom ROM. Or some CM ROM.

already done, when i deodexed it i made a flashable zip that removes all files from /preload/symlink/system/app, /system/app and /system/framework, and then copies all the deodexed files to these locations, and roots it and adds dsp manager.

If that hangs to you, try CM10.1 with PegasusQ/SIO gevernor/scheduler.

does cm 10.1 have a better battery life than cm 10.2? cause in cm 10.2 it was quite terrible, only about half a day with wifi off (i never use data connection, always turn that of ) and in standby most of the time.
edit- the battery is fine, it's almost new, and in stock rom i can get about 1 and-a-half day with wifi almost constantly on

Yeeees. I think similar to stock. I am on CM10.2 based ROM now, and CM10.1 was better for me.

i think i'm gonna try that one for a day or so, see if the battery life is indeed better than cm 10.2.
only downside other than that is the high vibration strength, is there anyway to lower that? (only for buttons and certain onscreen things)
and is there much difference in battery life between 10.2 and 10.1?
edit- just installed it, but wifi always takes about 2 minutes to turn on, so i'm back to stock based

I did not have that problem on 10.1. Did you use 1117 version? Use 1117+phone.apk from newest one.

so that one hasn't got the wifi problem? that would be great thanks for the link
and if so, is it also fixed in 10.2? that would be even better
edit- still the same problem, most of the time it takes around 2 minutes to turn on wifi, and sometimes it doesn't even turn on and i have to reboot.

JB 4.1.2

my phone also hangs quite a lot, a few times a day when i want to unlock my phone it just shows the last used app (be it the launcher or any other app) and doesn't respond except for the power button. when i press the power button the screen locks, but when pressing again it's still frozen.
(i know, it's a bit of an old thread, but maybe someone will reply)

If you haven't done yet, root your phone. Then flash a custom recovery. CWM or TWRP. Then flash a custom kernel or a custom rom.
I think the Jelly Bean stock-rom isn't recommended for this phone. It didn't use to lag, when I used Gingerbread 2.3. After flashing Jelly Bean it hanged a lot!
Now, i rooted it, installed CWM and the custom rom Pure Vanilla. It doesnt lag anymore!
Greetings and nice luck

Big Battery Issue

This battery issue arrived when I bought this Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and rooted it. I will explain to you what happened: I bought the phone in 2013 (when Samsung stopped selling it) from eBay.com. It came to me in two days and then the same day i rooted it. Installed Cyanogenmod 10 stable. But my battery was at 58% when xposed told me to reboot my phone. After rebooting shockingly the battery was 6%. I was surprised with this kind of behaviour and thought that it was a problem with the ROM, so tried Supernexus 2.0 but the same issue and since then it has been happening with all the ROMs. It never happens with Stock ROM but always with the Custom ROM and not only this but with all Kitkat,JB,ICS and GB(only custom ROMs) I have the same problem. I dont know whether this is an hardware issue or software. please help me. Ask me anything related but please help me...

you mean you flashed an xposed module and your battery percentage went down? what module was that?

No i just installed xposed framework and then install the app_process.jar and then rebooted.
But it has nothing to do with Xposed it happens on every ROM without thag too.

Save your important files to your PC, use CWM to format everything, including bootloader and SD card and (do not reboot) but enter download mode and flash a froyo stock ROM and start updating it to custom ROM of your choice. Ensure your battery was fully charged before you attempt this.
