Are there any noticeable improvements (performance-wise) in the custom KitKat ROMs and the stock 4.1.2? I mean, are there any changes that you can feel and see, or is it just a new android version with fancy new features?
Also I'd wait until a stable version of OmniROM or CM gets built until I try to flash my device.

I have flashed CM nightlies, PA nightlies, 4.3 PAC and Omni ROM.. Each Rom has its own unique features and performance difference!..
But personally i would say, those has its own + and - things..
The last ROM i flashed 4.4.2 Dirt Unicorns Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633846 ) seemed Great to me.. Overall Nice features cheery picked from all ROMS but again its individual's preference in the end of the day and Every ROM is unique in its own way!
NOTE:- S-Note, S planner and other samsung apps will work only if you are flashing a Touchwiz based Rom.. Those apps wont work in CM, PA and AOKP Roms cuz they need TW framework to work with!
If you are thinking of flashing of TW based Roms, i would recommend 2 Roms to take a look at..
X-Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320871 ) This is the Rom, i am currently using.. It will give your phone a tablet UI, thus taking advantage of your Note's large real estate screen! .. Multi window, floating window and buttery smooth and lots of features!
You can also check out the Note 8 Apps ported to our galaxy note N7000, if you are interested.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217662 )
Arya Mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52357155 ) This is also a great Rom and cool icons and themes!
I can't say I've been using any of the TouchWiz features, to be honest.
Just a few things I don't like on the stock ROM: The gallery takes a long time to open, opening the contacts takes a bit, and the animations sometimes glitch out (they just get skipped). And I'm locked to my current provider, but as my guarantee is at an end, I'm looking for a custom ROM to get out of the damn simlock, and maybe fix some other things as well.
So if you could just point out a few major differences (both performance wise, and feature wise) between CM, Omni and Dirt Unicorns, that'd be awesome. Of course I'd still wait for a stable version to come out.
I'm not really sure if I want a TW based ROM, not that I was using any of it's features. They always were a tad bit laggy on my phone. Mainly I'm looking for a ROM that'll run the smoothest, and that's the main thing, all eye-candy and fancy stuff is just icing on the cake. But I'll check out the ROMs you linked (the links seem to be wrong, tho). Thanks a lot!
I'll post another question in the same thread, so I don't have to open another one and clutter the board.
Are the OmniROM and CM nightlies stable? Also, is the only way to update CM to download and flash a new version of the OS, since there's that opendelta thing on Omni, where you can just download the update, just like real OTA?

They aren't stable but can be used as daily driver depending upon your usage. For Omnirom there is open delta, you can check for updates in settings>About Phone and it would only download the update not the whole rom.

I doubt 4.4 will ever be 100% stable, but god bless the cooks that keep coming up with updates, since for obvious reasons,
Samsung won't port past 4.1.2 officially.
Personally, for my usage, I've skipped everything past 4.1.2, as I can go weeks between reboots, lock ups, and with a custom
launcher (go launcher), my device is smooth and rock stable. It has a stock (DBT german international device) rom, rooted,
custom kernal just in case I forgot and didn't want to erase and endure the brick bug. Uninstalled the DBT bloat.
2+ years and still going strong.

Hi People
I am new to the world of custom rom. I just rooted my phone and i am looking into proceeding with installing ICS through a custom rom.
After some research i have narrowed it dow to two choices.
Paranoid Android vs. KingDroid NoteMania
Paranoid Android is fascinating but after correspondence with a member from here he has told me that:
"in russian forums many peoples have *mmc* issues with "paranoid android" latest version, so choice is obvious for me: Kingdroid note mania is better, just because it's safer."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is that true?
About KingDroid now i have nothing to report or ask. It looks perfect, except for the fact that it doesn't have tablet mode which i really want to get the feel of.
Now some general questions.
I have heard that custom roms have minor but frustrating glitches in various things.
I was wondering what i should expect...?
Anything other noteworthy that i might need in order to make an informed decision?
Ps. Right now i have a problem with my Note. It breaks off deep sleep spontaneously as if awakening from a bad dream.
Will a custom Rom fix that? Will it bring me other nightmares?
What is your experience with these two roms?
Thank you in advance people.

I suggest you go throughout the respective post in the development section. For PA, it is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802
Start at posts after June 27, then you skip problems of previous versions.
I went through almost everything and it appears there are hardly any issues. I personally do not have any, except that I have not yet figured out how to change the sort order for my movies in the Gallery app; it appears it always sorts by file date or so. Anyway, off topic and not really a bug I guess.
PA is quite unique in the sense that you can have phone mode and tablet mode apps simultaneously. I like that. On ICS, I was very disappointed about the email app. In PA, this is simply great.
To install PA, you go back to GB or any other safe kernel, hence there is no emmc issue as someone suggested to you. PA itself uses a safe kernel of CM9, so no issues here either.
About Kingdroid, no idea. I will stick with PA as it fits my needs.
I suggest that's exactly what you should do: try for yourself to see does it fit. It's like with shoes. Asking someone else whether they fit is pointless...
_____________________________________
If I helped you I'd appreciate your THANKS!
Just try all the roms out here.
Only after you have tested a few roms can you tell which one suits your needs.
I've tried almost all of them here in xda: Rocket Rom, Kingdroid, Asylum, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, Ganbarou, Cassie's, AllianceRom, LiquidSmooth, Criskelo, Chrack. Although CM9/AOSP/AOKP roms have a million possibilities of customization i found that tw based roms suit my needs better. After many flashes i'm currently on AllianceRom which i think it's the best for me, smooth, customizable, stable.
I have narrowed down to exactly these two ROMS. PA or KD. I wish someone did feature comparison

Well before i used to use DarkyRom (for NOTE is alliance ). Gnex was with paranoid android.
But for me know for the first time one question crossed my mind. Do I really need to avoid TW for example and the benefits I have and love from use of S-PEN.
So I am now looking for a good Stock rooted ROM. not AOSP or AOKP anymore.
I am loosing too much with them. And I need NOTE mostly for business so my choice is obvious.

Clear answers to clear questions.. It only depends on your own likes.. Try both and see..
PA its as safe as any other safe rom as it uses cm9 kernels (well known to be safe) Also Kindroid its safe because they use a safe kernels in aroma installer...
And Kindroid DOES have tablet mode just it does not support any kind of touchwiz ui they use apex launcher (aosp looks like launcher) for this mode

Hi,
Which of the custom ROM do you find better than stock ROM, based on your own experience. What I'm missing by using stock ROM ? you think

I guess the answer is, it depends like everything else. Custom ROMs come in a great variety, AOSP, AOKP, TW, hybrid ones like Paranoid. Just flash and try
Personally I like TW. I tried Criskelo and Kingdroid, also tried paranoid(non TW). I liked Kingdroid the best. It has the newer version of TW(as opposed to the stock ROM), somewhat better battery life, more fluid IMHO, better performance overall.
ROMs are more like, to each their own. Try it, you have nothing to lose. I tried a few over a weekend, and settled on one that I dont change often because of lack of time.
I agree..
I agree, too.
Just one more suggestion as this could help you determine faster if the rom does what you need/want:
Root your phone and use a backup software (titanium or backup root, for example), saves you time
If you do this already nevermind
But to answer your question directly: most of the roms focus on smothness and stability, others implement whole new features (in paranoid rom you can choose for every app if you want the tablet or phone version) or make it easier to tweak your system (liquidsmooth would be my example for this). Also, there are several JellyBean ROMs which only miss a few features so you are always up to date and don't have to wait for Samsung's infamous touchwiz-"magic" to be applied...
And it actually teaches you a thing or two about Android and the development for it (at least it did for me )
Hope I could help
So I ordered a Galaxy Note 1 yesterday, and i am pretty sure I wanna root& put a custom rom on it.
Right now, i tried to find the right rom for me, which turns out to not be that easy, since there seem to be many good roms &kernel combination
Its simply not "clear" which one is the best, nor is there a comparison table or anything that would help a noob to know about advantages of different roms without actually trying them.
I read many threads, but I found out that there are a lot of fans of all those roms, so that i am not able to decide what to choose...
Maybe you could give me a hint, which rom/kernel is nice for my needs which are the following:
1) I would like to use "google now" since i like to test voice assistance
2) I am exited about project butter, since i want a very fluid/smooth feel when swiping homescreens, also want this "animation" when swiping through screens like with the s3
3) I want this s3 typical live wallpaper with those waterdrop effects (has nothing to do with the rom, does it? )
4) I want to use the pen and those apps (at least until I find out i dont use it as often as i think...) so I would like to have the galaxy note 2 experience on my galaxy note, speaking newest Touchwiz ?! (since i think some pen functionality get lost when using some roms..)
5) I saw there are roms, which support this tablet/hybrid more, so you can select for each app if you want it in tablet or smartphone view, i like that very much, would be cool to have it!
6) I am noob at all this, but whatever you suggest, I will read into it and spend a lot of time doing it the right way or as you say and succeed with it
7) I like easy upgrade mechanics, so if there is something new out for this type of rom, it would be cool to be able to update this from my phone without the initial tools needed to get root/flash/custom rom it (dont know if this is even possible)
8) German language support would be a nice to have, but not a must have...
Based on those needs, which combination would you suggest to me kernel/rom wise?
Advice is very very appreciated!
Regards, James

There are mods to get google now on any rom but i guess project butter can be experienced only on jb
You can get all spen apps on tw based custom roms and some apps are available on non-tw based roms but not all
There are many cm roms that support tablet mods like paranoid android
And on any rom,the best kernel is hydracore..Its an universal kernel and can be flashed on any rom
I'd say the best for you is stock Samsung JB (Android 4.1.1).

Thanks rajsekhar!
So lets say I would use hydracore and as a rom i have tot decide between a tw rom and paranoid android rom.
1) In the hydracore thread its seems that gavin the main developer is stopping his work, does this mean i should not use his kernel? Or does he have something "finished" released? Like completly without bugs, that can be used for the next year or so?!
He said in his thread:
If CM and AOSP type roms continue down this path then unfortunatly Hydra will be coming to an end.
So, on this note, when v6.1 final is released on friday (still more testing to do) i think I shall be calling it a day and cease all development activities for the Note.

If I should not use this Kernel because of this, which alternative is there?
2) If you suggest the paranoid android rom, you mean i should stick to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 ,right?
3) I cannot find the thread for the TW based-ROM do they also have a thread in this forum?!
Thanks so far, and in advance!

Is there a touchwiz rom based on jelly bean yet?!I have not found any,...

In this Thread its stated that I should make sure to run CM9 before I try to flash this ROM to avoid a brick, so I guess I have to do something else before...
To be honest, I feel a little bit helpless with all those FAQ´s which Link to other threads which include further FAQ, there is no clean way to follow even after reading all those threads...
What I have done so far is:
- have donwloaded the correct hydracore v5.4 kernel
- downloaded samsung USB driver and installed it
- downloaded "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip"
- downloaded "pa_n7000-2.17-04OCT2012-130953.zip"

What are the steps to take?!

But you need to experience both of hem to get a clear idea
Do you think there is some very good stock apps that its not worth to change rom? Or is for example Cyanogenmod 11 so much better that I should flash it right away?
Stock rom is 4.1.2.
cm rom not good.
i use slim rom very good

I tried lot of roms...stock or not. I can say that any new rom 4.4.X that you can find in xda is better than stock. Slim, Omni and others are very fast, smooth and battery friendly, with lot of customization. With these roms installed, N7000 looks like other new devices as performance, really.
Maybe you'll miss S-Note, but GNote is very good too...it's almost the same. Float Note is like Quick Memo...and there are many google or free apps even better than Samsung's one. You will able to get s-pen shortcuts too.
Keep trying...
Hello,
I'm fighting with my N7000 Note on a daily basis. I have the latest brazilian stock 4.1.2 ROM and after disabling everything I could and disabling all Samsung services I could find on Titanium Backup, it still takes around 5-10 seconds just to launch Contacts. Any app takes forever to open comparing to my wife's iPhone 5C.
Well, now I have two options:
- Buying a new expensive phone;
- Give a new breath of life to my Note;
So my question is: are these 3rd-party ROMs able to make the Note perform like a new phone? I'll probably need Google Apps and Facebook, but I don't need any Samsung Apps. I wouldn't flash my Note just to get an updated GUI, I want a better performance in the first place, doesn't matter if GUI elements look ugly.
Thanks for all commenters in advance!
Go for aosp based roms like cm10.2 or cm11, pa omni. You will surely feel the difference.
Follow the advice above and as an additional info, if you r gonna use it as a daily driver, Do not use nightlies version.

Thanks for the answers. I ended up installing a nightly-built OmniROM 4.4.4 which is performing way smoother than the previous, stock ROM, JB 4.1.2 (Brazil-ZTO build).
