Is my ROM radio and kernel the best ones I can get?

Are those all the best versions I can get? I'm hoping to get something a little more smooth, maybe better on battery.

You could try the 5.08 radio instead, not seen anything to indicate that FRG33 is any better than FRF91 could try if you like.

I would root the phone and put CyanogenMod 6.0 on it and it will open up a whole new world to you. Word of caution: read, read, read and educate yourself before flashing ROM's, kernel or anything else. Also, unless you are very comfortable using adb...don't mess with your radio as screwing up is the only way to brick your phone. Good luck!

My phone is rooted, I'm not sure about installing cyanogen or about how to change kernels though, and someone told me Cyanogen had really bad battery life, which is something I really want to be good.

I went through two batteries yesterday. I wasn't running it hard or anything. I do have all the bells and whistles going though.
I'm sure there is a battery thread for CM6, I'll look and see what I can find.
Regardless of the battery life it would be hard to switch back.

If you have Amon_Ra's or Clockwork Recovery installed, just download CM6 and either Wildmonks or Pershoots oc'd/uv kernel and flash them thru recovery. First, back up your apps, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik-cache, wipe battery stats, then flash CM6 then kernel then 08172010 Gapps and reboot!
There are lots of threads dedicated to walking you thru each step.

You could also flash ROMs other than CM6. Enomther's feedback suggests MUCH better battery life and smoother ROM.

i second that. Enom's rom is a must!

I've heard a lot about both of their Tom's but I don't actually know how they compare to eachother in terms of features and performance.

Nobody can tell you that objectively since there are no objective head-to-head comparisons using specific set-ups, but only those that users do for themselves . From user comparisons you can gain some of the info you're looking for. You should probably try them and decide for yourself.

To be fair I don't know a feature list of either Cyanogen or Enom. I went on the Cyan site and clicked features but it just shows a video.
I just want something with good battery life!

Honestly, the best battery life is found using a stock rom. FRF91 or FRG33. You won't be able to use any of the great features that you'll find in Enom or Cyan's roms.
Personally, I don't see any adverse affects on battery life with either. You just have to test them out for a day or two under normal conditions. It's not the instant answer you were looking for, but that's how we all know what rom's we prefer.

Isn't there just a plain old feature list to look at?

UV
If you like your current setup and just want better battery life you can flash a custom Under Volted kernel.
Many Rom threads have a list of features in the first or second post

I have always found Enom to be more stable and better battery. The current "stable" CM6 is no where near as stable as Enom's 2.11.x and the battery life of Enom is better, however, the most recent CM6 has some more features that Enom does not yet have, one of them being WPA2 Enterprise support.

[Q] Is there any way to stop my Note getting too hot!!

Hey, When I use my galaxy note with games or web browsing, it gets really hot, this is worrying. Im running Kingdroid notemainia v3.0 with Franco Kernel. I know that some combinations of roms and kernels can reduce the CPU heat. Any suggestions please?

Best solution is not to worry - it's quite normal.

Thanks for your reply, everyone says that but last night it got seriously hot, although I had just flashed a new rom, is it still nothing to worry about? My main concern is internal cosmetic damage.

Thats clever, So as the battery gets hotter and hotter the CPU slows down ? To prevent extreme overheating ?
Think I might give that a try ! Mine does get hot.........But i do abuse it !

With cpu this fast, battery which is big and a screen to match, do expect it to be cold?
How hot is hot for you?
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

mine reached 57c 2 days ago ... it's summer here and this started to make me worry
can SetCPU work with rooted GB Note (no custom kernels just using Chainfire's Kernel) ?

So long as your rooted it will work, However Overclocking wont work unless the kernel supports it.

I recommend undervolting or changing modems.
I did both and it solved my problem of heating up. Now I can do anything, heat isn't a problem for me anymore.
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

I'm kinda new to installing roms and the rest of it, how can I undervolt and change modems, is there any recommendations for this?

Changing modems is straight forward, however because not all devices are specifically built the same, undervolting is a matter of trial and error.
Are you rooted? Stock rom or custom rom?
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

Yes I'm rooted and running rocket rom v6. Thanks

Here you go mate, I take it that you know how to flash since you're on a custom rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645202
You have a lot to choose from the list of modems. Trial and error, check which one delivers good performance yet battery friendly for you as it varies from place to place.
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

Regarding undervolting, I'll leave that for now as it's more advanced and could cause damage if not done correctly.
Before proceeding with modem flash, please backup your efs folder or simply get an app from playstore to do it for you. If I remember correctly, it's call efs backup.
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

Thanks bro, ill give it a shot

I too had the similar issue with the Galaxy Note. It is quite common while doing CPU/GPU intensive things such as gaming, rendering web pages, etc. I had called up Samsung recently regarding when i had recently got my Note and they responded by saying "Its noting to get too worried about as it is common for this model to get heated due to the fast processor and thin body"

Like I have mentioned earlier, I used to have the same issue. Changing my modem had helped it keep cool on hspa+ while still performing great. I also undervolted cpu and gpu to help save battery life, I never noticed the heat after that. I was surprised about this due to the fact that I hadn't underclocked the cpu. So I'm getting full performance and great battery life. Couldn't be more happier
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

Sure mate, here you go

There is no best modems, what it really depends on is the area you're in and which network you're with, through trial and error you have to find the one that best suits you. You may find some to perform extremely well whilst it's not battery friendly, some maybe to your likening where it would perform well whilst being battery friendly and last may perform poor whilst being extremely battery friendly.
There are some marked known to be good modems in the link I've provided, try them and if not your liking try the others on the list
Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone

Anyone try on Wind / Mobilicity yet?

This is probably a long shot since it's so early.
I've used AT&T / Rogers / Telus Notes on Wind and never get a download speed above 0.5mbps. It's unusable.
Was hoping TMobile's version would help
Is it just a software modem change? or are there actually hardware differences in the T879?
Thanks.

I am going to get my t-mobile galaxy note in a few days so I can report back how it works with Wind in Canada.

I've tried both. Wind is faster but only slightly. Both hit like 3 Mbps down and 1 up under perfect conditions, which is never. However we pay $25 for unlimited everything. Hard to complain. I find The VK1_test and jeet92's modems work best in burnaby and vancouver.
Edit: my response is based on the title. I failed to read that you asked about the Tmob note.

That is quite impressive actually.
Can I get more details? So you're running the stock T879 rom? and T879 modem?
Not the AT&T modem? Anything custom? If so, can you try with a custom AT&T rom and T879 modem?
Finally, have you tried putting back a bell/rogers sim card to see what speeds you can still get on their network?
Thanks in advanced

IM running the i717 note with the t879 Rom with the att modded i717 modem from post 2 of tomin thread. So the modem still shows up as TMobile radio but its working on att.note

T-879 with Wind
I am using the T-879 from T-Mobile with Wind for almost a week know , this one replacing t-mobile Galaxy SII T-989.
Phone came with ICS 4.0.4 and baseband T879UVLG3.
The reception is much better than SII on Wind. Download speed is somewhere around 7 mbps down and 1.5 ~ 2 mbps up , again doing better than SII

I switched to Mibilicity from Wind, phone and modem same as user Alicklee, I am going to try it and see. So far, at home, not much of a diff except that voice quality is better. haven't tested data speeds yet. My Wind at work was really bad, actually zero reception so will see monday, a colleague is on Mobi and has 2-3 bars.
Waiting for newer/better modem than the one from post #2 of the OP.

Stock vs cm10.1

Hi guys, was wondering about what makes you decide to leave stock and stick to cm, or why you're staying in stock rather than cm10.1?
I've been thinking which ROM to go for, thinking about the cons and pros for each..
for stock, great kernel support from doomlord, better cam( i think ? ), more mods available( better sound from zeroinfinity).
for cm10.1, loads of customization, super smooth( carbon rom for now ).
What additional feature else to add?
Please list down what ROM you're using + the reason why you're sticking with ( stock / cm10.1 ) ? Would like to see different users' opinion.

If u want to preserve warranty, go for stock
If you want performance and daily updates , go for cm 10.1
If you wanna customise your device to d core, go for miui v5.
Aosp, paranoid android and pacman roms are also worth it

Actually, there is a noticeable drop in performance while running CM10.1 vs stock. Whether this is related to the build I'm running being a debug build vs release/optimised or if there's a more efficient graphics driver in stock ROMs I don't know, but I get 5600 in Quadrant running CM10.1 vs roughly 7800 in stock. Pretty large difference.
The most likely reason for this is what I mentioned above, that a debug build is not at all as optimised (as that takes a lot more time for compilation) as stable builds. But still worth mentioning as one is most likely to be running userdebug nightlies at this stage. If this is the case then we will most likely see improved results when the CM10.1 stable gets the new FXP kernel that's been pushed to the nightly builds.

I will find the next person who uses quadrant as a form of measurement for performance.
Or any benchmarking tool

Benchmarks aside, I have been testing gaming on the latest cm nightly. Nova and including modern combat 4 runs smoothly. Don't put your
hopes only on benchmarks.

Just check your cpu frequency after you boot and sign in. Sometimes the low frequency locks at max and burns up the cpu. Just set It to its lowest and you wont kill your phone.
