I don't think this question has been asked on this forum. I searched and found nothing. Anyway, what is the best ROM?
Or do you guys prefer stock eek? By the way, once you unlock the Bootloader, is it possible to re-lock it? And can we "un-root"?
there is no re-locking. once you unlock there is no going back warranty voided. as far as what's the best rom, its way too early to say. you have to try them out yourself to form opinion on it. I will say that Virtuous Rom n Icylicious Rom has been getting great feedback.
Agreed there isnt to much development on the prime as of yet, but hoping it will come. As of now those two roms are mostly stock with a few visual mods at this point. Im really not up to try the CM9 as I have that on my phones, I like to have my tablet a bit different. I would love to see a rom like Roach2010 or Jcarrz1, even Mike1986 has put together on the original tf101, really enjoyed those alot.!!!
Nothing super impressive yet. But I'm pretty excited about the CNA guys...

I think the ROM's are just basically a lil tweaked right now and more visual customization. Once the kernel is basically truly optimized, then we will have some bad-azz ROM's. At that point I will start the whole flashing of ROM's. I am holding out for a few more weeks to unlock my bootloader.

How about a positive thread with no flames please
I can not wait for custom roms once we get a boot unlocker tool. All my Android devices are running some sort of custom rom that makes the system so much more smoother and optimized. To many companies these days are adding to much bloatware and tracking that just slows everything down.
I love my Prime and i cant imagine how much better it will get. With a great developer (or team) im sure they can add features that we all wish for everyday.
Wooohooo! Go Prime!

i know viper is and he's an amazing devs. I'm running his rom in my evo 3d right now.
you know I had a milestone 2, it had a locked bootloader but they were making roms for it. I for one can not wait to throw cm9 on this b*&ch.
I also feel like I am not trully using the power under the hood of this machine. I gave up my laptop for this and I am sort of bored with this right now

I have been running scotts rom for a while, but I just shattered my screen on my E3D yesterday. When I receive my new one tomorrow I will try out his rom. I am hoping that it doesn't come with the Hboot 1.5, I declined it being activated on arrival to help alleviate it. I am on it right now and it sucks to flash stuff. I hate being tethered to a PC to do anything.
I think the Prime has a lot of potential. I actually own a Xoom and a Prime and the xoom sometimes is much smoother than the prime because it's running a custom rom and kernel (overclocke to 1.5ghz) and still has great battery. I think the devs could fix all the transformer prime bugs very easy

Wow, after looking into CodenameAndroid Rom, this thing looks incredible. Looks awesome, and I anxiously await....
thanks for heads up OP. the more Roms the merrier. Roms looks very well put together and feature intensive. can't wait till it arrives!
Is there any sort of laymans comparison for ROMs? How does this compare to CM9? I like what I've read about CM9 but I'm really not sure what the real difference is between various ROMs.
I know it's probably not simple to ask "What ROM should I get?", but... suggestions anyone?

Every ROM offers something different. Its important to read the list of features that the ROM has to offer. The more you read threads in the developer section, the better you will understand these features. Since ICS is still fairly new, many ROMs consist of features kanged from CM9. Some are AOSP, which means they were built straight from source code, while others are based on current OTAs.

I've read that the codename dudes own Primes, so I'm hoping that it'll be as smooth as the Virtuous ROM that I'm currently running, with all the added features/mods of CNA.
hmm 1.5 is out for all the listed devices except for the prime :/

Hey guys!
I just received my Galaxy Note from AT&T (previously a T-Mobile G2 user), and am wondering about custom ROMs.
I used a MIUI ROM on my G2 with T-Mobile, but am more interested in ICS and the international capabilities of the Note (Premium suite, apps, etc). Do we not get those apps?
Are there any custom ROMs you guys would recommend for a new user?
Thanks!

There's no reason to say anything bad about anyone's rom. If you like apps rom, then say just that. Theres no reason to point out what you think is horrible scrolling. They're both excellent roms and both are very smooth. Go to the threads and read up. Or better yet, try them and see what fits your needs the best.

I understand. I'm not new to ROMs, but I find it easier to ask for opinions than to try flashing endless ROMs. I'm having a hard time believing rooting and all is even worth it. But I'm hoping some of you veteran Note users' will provide me with a little more incentive to flash or keep stock.

Your choice but my opinion is as follows. You have a great device with capabilities far beyond those which it was sold with(GB), so you could stay with your awesome device and never know its "full" potential. Adversely, you could unleash the beast with a little research and gumption... Think portable wireless hotspots and ease of use modifications and custom works allowing you to customize your device. With stock gb it generally takes 2 to 4 more steps to achieve the same goal in custom GB. Same with ICS... These are my opinions and individual experience may vary... Ultimately its up to you how excited about your device you get, and how much research you do to ensure a great experience.

Yeah I ended up trying a few, and nothing seemed stable enough. We won't have to wait too much longer for ICS and premium suite I am sure!
I say if you're fine with GB go with unofficial rom. Best laid out in my opinion and with holokernel incredibly fast and smooth. For ics I say forget about your s pen and try cm9. I missed notes at the beginning but with how fluid everything is and problem free of a build this is I try not to think of that plastic pen jammed into my phone and just enjoy ics for what it is and what it should be on any android phone without all the little touches manufacturers throw in trying to make their phone a special snowflake in an industry of special individual snowflakes. Just my two cents anyhow

I wish the prime had the support that the Galaxy s3 has. After I got it, the forums are loaded with roms, kernals, modems. It was the easiest to root and install anything.

So I'm sure we are all going to be wondering about this.
CyanogenMod made the announcement today that if they will begin working on CM10 as soon as they get official source for it. If your device has a CM9 then it will be getting CM10. Good news for us since we have CM9.
Team Kang announced that they will be releasing M6 this weekend after that they will not be working on ICS releases anymore and will take a short break then begin with JB.
Rollout of these ROMS should be quick because they don't have to restart they just have to merge stuff into the ICS builds.
Just giving you all a heads up.

Just a correction regarding AOKP, the post Roman made on G+ indicates that they are going to start fresh on JB as they suspect there will be issues merging changes into existing ICS base. That said the turn around should be a fair bit quicker with JB as most customizations should still work.

The reason that we run TWRP instead of clockwork is that there's a bad version of clockwork mod touch that causes "Brick 1a" in the sticky that's labeled something like How To Unbrick Your Prime. The most similar version of the regular clockwork mod may also have this problem but most of the one's I've fixed remotely for people were using clockwork mod touch.
Although it's labeled brick 1a, in my opinion it's not a brick. But since you can't boot to the rom people freak out. What happens is when you boot to recovery and then try to reboot system, the device reboots to recovery again. No matter what you do from the on the device just loops from Asus Eee Pad screen to recovery.
Fixing it just requires running a command in ADB on your computer. Newer repackaged versions of clockwork have been done by some really nice guys here on XDA which are supposed to have that bug in the software fixed. Because this was such a prevalent issue a lot of developers write their stuff to work great with TWRP because it hasn't ever had this problem.
It's one of those weird things where some people have clockwork installed and don't have problems and others have lots of problems with what seems like the very same software combination. I actually bought my prime really cheap because the owner was running clockwork mod and had the brick 1a happen and he couldn't fix it. Once I received it, in an hour or two I had gotten a good ADB connection and ran the command and was good to go. I thought maybe it was a fluke and tried to continue with clockwork mod and had the same thing happen again, so finally I switched over to TWRP recovery and it was a great decision, I haven't looked back since.
