There are many ROMs available in Development section with previews and detailed.
yeh i have read on many of them but i dont think its possible to read through all the top roms posts to guage users views
just looking for some personal opinions to what people are enjoying to use and not reading a thread full of problem posts
For me its checkrom v5.. Snappy and stable.. N great battrry too.

Hmmm.. Then i suggest you to wait for few more days. ICS is coming for us. as soon ics leak comes out , the most waiting CM9 will be ready for us.
Rocket rom is good if you like a speedy themed rom. Checkrom is also another good rom.used both

Clocks and voltage are kernel related.
If you want to oc and uv for yourself go for AbyssNote Kernel from angelom (which an out-dated one is included in the RocketRom from eyebee) since it has a clock frequency set range from 100-1704 MHz and a huge list of governors to choose from. Be careful though your phone can easily getting hot with this kernel by ocing it.
However it seems the franco.kernel is a little bit better for battery and has smoother animations while navigating through your phone with some third party launcher while suffering low fps in some games I've tested. I do not know the voltages for each frequency from franco.kernel. You can't change them either (with apps like voltage control or SetCPU).
cool i was thinking of waiting for the ics roms but i am very impatient and liek to fix things that arent broke
i will read up on some of these roms both speed and check sound like what im looking for
There is alot of good roms and developers here its hard to tell you which one is perfect it realy depends what direction you looking at stability battery life new futures etc... i personaly use Criskelo after long searching i found my perfect one good luck.
My favorites: Cassie's XL, Darky and CheckROM.
I could suggest You to try CheckRom, fast and reliable with Abysskernel 3.8 version 2.
If You want to try, a good rom is also Darkyrom 3.3 with Franciscofranco Kernel n.4 but I find the last one a little bit unstable even if a well developed kernel.
Just my 2 cents
gave in and am now playing with checkromv5 and just installed abysskernel see how these go , and oc'd it to 1600
Been with Rocket ROM since V1 until V22. Just flashed Criskelo 3 days ago and it's working superbly. Battery life is great!
So far, Criskelo rocks!
alpha never dies and abyssnote kernel v4.0 final
well i have no issues that i have noticed not sure on battery life yet if its better than stock or not will need a few days to see how it averages out
what benefits would rocketrom have over checkrom or is it just a personal preferance ?
checkrom v5..

Go to Android Development Section and you will find your answer hopefully..
even I would like to know. seems both are very good.
if noone answers do a comparison and include battery life, performance etc.
Speedmod is original
hl note core is adapted speedmod so use same versions of speedmod when doing so

I've used both, and prefer glnotecore (have beenn off speedmod about 3 wks). On my note, it is smoother, more stable, and faster. I also get great batt life for this level of performance. Of course, we're finding that there are some fairly significant variances note-to-note, so you really need to test both on your phone to know what works best for you, but I can attest to notecore's overall performance. Fwiw, I'm using same dev's latest rom (cleannote) along with latest kernel (6.1, which is not speedmod-based). If you're using a rom with lots of scripts and tweaks, then notecore isn't for you as it is optimized without such items (read thread to learn more about why). It may also not be for you if you're looking for lots of mods... dev is focused on performance and stability without trendy bells and whistles. Hope this is helpful to you.
Think of them like this:
SpeedMod = original Samsung Kernel but "safe"
NOTECORE = customized Samsung Kernel and "safe"
If you're going to use the Stock TouchWizz ROM with minimal changes, go for SpeedMod, it should be more stable.
If you want to customize your NOTE with a TouchWizz-based ROM, go for Notecore, you can underclock the min frequency (save battery), then overclock max freq (faster), then undervolt it slightly (save even more battery). Then use a more effecient governor like InteractiveX or Ondemand (save battery without losing performance). Then you can overclock the gpu, and get smooth performance with the ChainFire3D plugin.
Then again, if you really want ultimate customization... you'll need AOSP ROM + Kernel.
Examples:
A) SpeedMod K3-9 + (Samsung) LRG ROM = Samsung Experience
B) NOTECORE + m3dd0g's LiquidSmooth v3.0 = Custom Experience
C) ANiKernel + AOKP build 41 (milestone 6) = Deep Custom Experience
I'd say it depends on how you use your device,
If your not addicted to flashing & you want a stable smooth phone with minimum issues, use SpeedMod
However, if you like to tinker & don't mind a few bugs go with notecore.
At the moment notecore is hit & miss, a new version (sometimes 2) everyday tells you its not there YET.
I started with v1 through to v5, whilst at its best notecore is the fastest kernel for our note, for me there was always the occasional freeze that didn't happen with SpeedMod or funky, or even with earlier versions of the same kernel.
PS. This is not a criticism of the dev, I donated to him for his work on the kernel & a few years ago for his superb windows mobile (cleanex) roms
I feel the need to mention this to avoid any potential flame wars igniting as some folks get a little 'Apple' when you speak objectively.
Chances are notecore will get there, but for me right now, SpeedMod whilst lacking the outright speed of NC, its just as smooth but more reliable.
As always ymmv.

Agree with that.
NoteCore is all speed. SpeedMod is stable, smooth and reliable.
I had corrupt sd-card on NoteCore, don't remember which version but I never tried it again. Things have gotten better and I might give V7 a try.
As for people getting apples - welcome to Internet there are E-Rambo-Hulks everywhere.:silly:

Haha, E-Rambo-Hulks, not heard that 1 before.
Also had issues with the sd card unmounting & apps uninstalled on reboot.
Just tried v7 so far the freezing has gone, especially with dead trigger.
will give it a few hours/days.
Edit: freezing still happening, back to speedmod.
ive never had an issue with either kernel but for me notecore out performs speedmod hands down.
There are 2 versions of notecore, Standard and extreme, Extreme does not work for everyone (strange but true) But it works for me
No issues, No FC's, No lags, No battery drain.
I play dead trigger A LOT and i have the tegra 3 graphics enabled and it is buttery smooth. Awesome game if i must say so.
But the only way to know which one is right for you is to try them both and heavily test them
What works for one person doesnt mean it will work for another.
notecore kernel are AWESONE.....

Completely agree with you. Anyone that feels speedmod is just as smooth but more stable must not use their phones for gaming or other CPU intensive apps because the difference is HUGE if you are comparing the OCed version with the regular speedmod.
Of course, it all depends on what the person needs it for and nothing beats testing for yourself since it takes little time to flash back and forth.
Regards

i said it was just as smooth & more reliable, i gave my opinion based on my experience,
please accept my apologies if english isnt your 1st language so you dont understand what you're typing, but for you to assume how another person uses their phone based on your experience, makes no sense.
notecore is fast, no question, but for me, with fifa12, dead trigger, nova3, gt racing... all play just as smooth with both kernels, where i notice the speed difference is on things like launcher transitions or opening solid explorer NC is a fraction quicker, not Huge, we're talking milliseconds quicker.
again, genuine apologies if your comment has been misinterpreted but the point still stands... your experience will be different to others (vice-versa).
In my personal experience I find both of them good in their own ways. Note core is a full performance kernel while speedmod Is a balanced kernel. I keep coming back to Note core because of it's brilliant performance, thanks to Gavin .

Look mate... I understood what you said perfectly so no idea what your language comment was about.... And I would like to see a video of Nova 3 on both kernels on your phone because I test every rom and kernel pretty much and I know that the performance is not the same... I hope English is your first language so you can understand that 'talk is cheap' ....

Theoretically you are right.
In practice, you may not be.
SpeedMod = stability oriented.
NOTECORE= speed oriented.
AOSP kernel = speed and feature oriented.
Nova 3 could run fullspeed on Stock Samsung, SpeedMod, Notecore and AOSP. Or Nova 3 running fullspeed only on AOSP. Or only on Notecore and AOSP.
Obviously, it depends on how good the device (they're not created equal) and rom is, as well as the user (different apps installed, different forms of usage).
The only way to decide is to test them personally and see what works for you.
I'm using and testing also both, and all versions...... If you compare it with cars, or car builder, then Hardcore is more the "settled" one, like Mercedes, that is a kernel, that is solid, stable and do what it should do..... Speedmod is good, if you want to have a kernel with good performance, but you don't want to Overclock or something...... And I think, here speedmod is very good....... For Users, they don't want to screw on setups, just having a kernel, that is installed and good!
Gavin is more like a tuning builder, like amg that takes the Mercedes and try to get out more performance on every little part of the engine....... But also get stable enough to win the 24hours race in LeMans
My favourite is Notecore, cause I'm also a screwing fan...... To get as much performance as can out of my note, and here is Notecore definitely on Pole Position....... Since V4 performance is so good, that I get the first time really satisfied......... All runs very fast, apps open like rockets..... Game performance is awesome (gaming Dead Trigger with full effects and tegra effects also triggered on, runs smooth as butter), and also on heavy apps like Photoshop touch, there is enough power to render effects on high resolution pics from Cameras like the CV-5 with 4096x2048 px in png nearly uncompressed......
But Notecore is a performance Kernel, if you are a bit sensible, and you get a heart attack, if your phone gets a little bit warm.... Than better use a kernel that is a bit more conservative.....

@ Kangal
Nice summary,
@shaolin95
Really not fussed enough to flash both kernels make a video just to prove a point (I'm yawning at the thought), I have no reason to lie about the smoothness, simply want what most people want, great performance with stability, still it's just a phone, I don't fret about getting 5 more fps.
If you're getting that with NC then I'm happy for you. I'm not, but I'll say again, it's only a matter of time before the dev gets it spot on. Until then speedmod works great for me.
All the best.
From classic rom. Has tried note std v7 for 3 days. Very smooth and battery drain performance was superb as well. But having same issue with other user. UI sometimes will hang for few second without any respond. But still able to pull down notification bar.
Tried speedmod k3-9 yesterday till now, stable, battery performance not bad at all, smooth and no single hang.
Battery performance is very subjective things, u must try it and compare by your self.

Hello.
I'll be unlocking my bootloader soon, at first I wanted to install the Xiaomi EU rom but then I found out about all these beautiful ROMs and I couldn't decide.
I don't like the Pixel Experience ROM because I don't have that freedom of editing/customize the theme etc.
The Resurrection Remix ROM seems the best in that case, and I've heard it's also great performance wise.
What Kernel should I use with it? Does it drain much battery? More than standard MIIUI?
Thank you in advance
Generally, the kernel included with the ROM will be most stable, I use RR Oreo + Gabriel back then, it was almost compareable battery life (or drain a lot more) but heats more than what Xiaomi.eu + Gabriel for me and that might just be what makes RR drain more.
You can try Clarity and maybe it performs better, but generally I like Gabriel better because of how much you can tweak the kernel
Clarity sounds cool, which version should I download?
There's one with the CPU overclocked and one without the overclock

Obviously without overclock is best with your battery, if you want a balance I would set the BIG cores at stock frequency, and overclock the LITTLE cores for whatever, which I am not sure if Clarity can do, but I heard 2.9 has been good, though you will miss out on lots of updatea up to 3.7
Clarity works very good no issues latest version is 3.8
Please anyone tell me that if i use microg instead of gapps .
Did i get a little boost in pubg mobile??
And also please tell me benefits of using gapps and microg please.
MicroG and Gapps are sets of Google applications.
Any Gapps has nothing to do with performance of game or the device. Gapps are of your choice which and how many Google applications you want in your device from MicroG/nano/pico/micro and so on further.
To have better or good performance you should be looking at the specific ROM and it's performance and how optimized it is for gaming or any other specific tasks.
You can opt out for custom kernel to have little more good performance at gaming.
There are several kernels are available choose the one best suit for your needs. There are kernels which are made for gaming/to have good battery backup/to have good performance or both. So choose wisely if you want to use custom kernel. You should be looking at custom kernel if the ROM provided kernel or the ROM itself doesn't meets your expectations.

Please tell me best rom and kernal for playing pubg.
Currently i am on havoc os .
So which kernel should i use.
I'm a heavy gamer and use my Redmi 4X mostly for games. I have SyberiaOS which is fantastic with games, no changes in kernel or ROM itself, just turned off some apps at boot. I flashed with nano Gapps but I use Google apps all the time so I installed almost all of them from the Play Store. I tried Pixel Experience for a few days and despite less RAM usage I couldn't get used to it, I missed some features and couldn't get as pleasant game experience as on Syberia ROM. I Play Guns od Boom which is also heavy on RAM almost the same as PUGB and got lag on PE.

After changing kernel to wolf kernel
Pubg gameplay becomes smooth
But device heats like hell.
I read the whole thread about Havoc-OS because I wanted to try it and found out that it may cause extensive heating that's why ultimately I didn't flash it. I've never experienced heating issues on 4X but of course it gets warmer when playing games or movies but not that much it should concern me (although that's subjective. My school mate drinks boiling water tea and it's nothing to her. ).
