Okay first of all I freaking love this place it's brought an entire new life onto my captivate so here's whats going on..
I have cm9.0.0-RC0 installed with 4.0.3 but I just realized a few days ago that the alpha fourm I was on is extremely outdated and that everyone had moved onto the newer one. (yes I realize I look like an idiot at this point)
ANYWAYS...I went to find the latest stable build how ever it also says 9.0.0 so i'm sort of confused if that one is any different. I'm pretty sure I am on the alpha build 17 but like I said still confused...
(Side note: I don't want to use the nightly builds because I use this as my daily phone so I need something stable.)
So do I need to flash the other one or am I good where i'm at? Or should I just wait for CM10 and jelly bean??
Also I know this has been asked but can someone recommend a good kernal to use with this? I'm pretty sure the one I am using is old it's by pawitp.
Thank you for your patience and dealing with my stupidity :angel:
(very first n00b post btw)
Go ahead and do an update to the stable version. It is only a few days old, and is worth updating to, especially if you are still on an alpha (I can't imagine that really).
I recommend that you stick with the stock kernel unless you want to play around with things like overclocking. In that case, either Semaphore or Devil are great kernels.
Definitely update, I have been running cm9 nightly for the last 3 months with no issues. I'm on Helly bean now, but my gf is using cm9 stable.
Update now man. You have a choice of the CM9 stable release, plus like four really good Jelly Bean roms that are totally worth the flash. I'm on Paranoid Android right now and its the best Jelly Bean experience I've had on both Android devices that I own so I highly suggest it to you if you're stuck in deciding which JB rom, if you go that route of course.
alright thanks guys! :good:
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!
hydra core 5.4 is quite good,

Ok, so I will pick hydra core 5.4, without OC.
Is there a touchwiz rom based on jelly bean yet?!I have not found any,...
If there is non, i have to decide to use touchwiz & 4.0.4 OR no touchwiz but 4.1 jelly bean, right?!
So i will try to install the paranoid android rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698
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"
- downloaded odin v1.85
So with the aim of using hydracore 5.4 with paranoid android on it, and I expect gb on my note when i receive it today:
What are the steps to take?!
Help would be very much appreciated!

There are no tw jb roms
If you were on gb and interested in stock 4.0.4,then go to settings<about phone<software update.Then you will be updated to 4.0.4 through ota
If you wish to flash paranoid android or any other rom,then follow this guide to get root and cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Then flash the rom and gapps through cwm recovery
If you were on ics,then flash hydracore kernel using odin and then flash any rom through cwm

Yes, I guess i will first test stock 4.0.4 but at first sign of underperfomance / stuttering, i guess i will try to follow your linked guide!
Will 4.0.4 run faster if I would take a TW Rom from the forum? Or will I only get "butter smooth" feeling through Jelly Bean Roms? What are your experiences?
Thank you very much for your help

4.0.4 is stable and faster but i really dont like the tw interface and so i am on jb rom now..It runs fine and stable enough for me
But you need to experience both of hem to get a clear idea
Hey all,
i've been digging around for the last day or so - cant find a clear answer. I want to go from CM10 (PA) rom over to the Alliance TW rom to see what its like. Ive been flashing all sorts of CM based roms for ages now with no issues, but i just want to confirm that the issues from the bad old days are behind us. Do i still need to flash back to GB and then up to a TW rom or am i good to go straight over to it? Surely we dont need to use GB still....but i may be wrong. On the Paranoid Android rom im on now, the kernel is certainly safe but its a CM based kernel so im just a little cautious still with all the issues in the past.
Cheers for a great community - we sure have made this device awesome!
Tim.
Yes, it is safe; I have done full factory resets on a jb tw rom with philz 3.75 kernel...
Hi friends.
I have my phone on stock ROM (4.0.3) rooted, CWM.
The thing is.. which rom that are available right now that you recommend me?
Thanks.:good:
Hi, I'd say CM 10.1 RC1. It's based on latest 4.2.2 Android with lots of tweaks etc. Good thing is also that you can apply many themes to make your phone nicer. I'm using it since first release and it's great! Much faster and better than stock and it's also updated very frequently.
Hi All,
this is my first post and I hope someone could help me in choosing the right ROM for my Note.
It's a long time I follow this forum and first of all I would like to thank you so much anyone who is working harder to give a new life to our devices that Samsung is not supporting for marketing strategies!
I started my trip in the white rabbit's hole with Ultimate N7000 ROM 5 because I wanted 4.1.2 TW, but later as I found that my device was not so fast as I expected I flashed my device and I've used SuperNexus M1 ROM with an addition of the NX-Kernel.
I found SuperNexus so clear and not so bad to use (my device score around 10000 in antutu (antutu could be not reliable but stock TW was at 7000) ) but I found also this firmware "poor" in term of functions that will give me a fast/easy to use device aswell (for ex. in quick settings the GPS toggle is missing, etc).
I also found some post in which someone told that SuperNexus is based on CM10 work (why do not flash CM10 ?), so what do you think is a complete Android to be used for anyday use? I'm so confused!! Stunner, Vanilla, Rootbox, AOSP, CM10.1, so many ROMS in the white rabbit's hole!!
I want a stable ROM as I'm using my phone for my work and I can't flash my phone each day to test a new rom.
Thank you so much for helping me! I think this will help also someone is approaching for first times in this forum
Cheers
Max
If you want a ROM that's stable, with high number of features and customizations with a considerable battery performance, download the PAC ROM.
I use Slim and its perfect for me, no issues what so ever. I love it from my SGS days and thats the Rom I flashed when i got Note.
Whats perfect for you? Hmmmm... No one but you can decide mate... Try some Rom over the weekend maybe and decide what works for you.
Good luck
