ICS vs Gingerbread...what are the differences - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

We are going to receive update for ICS soon. I just came across an article that I would like to share the differences between both OS and understand more about them. I'm sure you are all professional with the LEAK ICS by now.
It's also explain why the RAM we've seen is lesser then in GB OS
Mod, if you think it's not a right place, just close it

Thanks for the link. It was a nice intro to ICS.
I'm new on Android and GB is pretty cool (rocking Saurom 7.1). I wasn't really sure what ICS features were new over what I already have.

Im on gingerbread with Saurom Rom and love it. Tried the Ics. Leak and had some issues with It so i went back to Saurom Rom

I must have missed the part of the article that explains why the RAM is less in ICS vs GB?

+1 I tried ICS roms too only to be disappointed I mean don't get me wrong I really appreciate the devs but the ICS leak is so unstable it makes it no fun,I'll just wait for official ICS until I flash another leak build, I'm also using Saurom 7.1. IMO its the best so far

Maybe it is because I'm a bit new at this, but after running ICS leak for a couple weeks, I really do not see the big advantage over Gingerbread. It seems like an incremental upgrade and nota revamp of the operating system.
Compared to Saurom Rom, it was no big deal. I guess compared to stock GB, it is noticeably faster.
I guess we'll see soon enough.

De-Sensed GB Rom?

Anyone know of a Desense GB rom built off the January OTA? Just wanting to dabble with themeing again, using one as a base. Latest one I can find is one of Scott's, and that's built off the release rom.
That's probably the last you will find. Most everyone has moved on to ICS.
Well crud. I may have to play around with re-basing then and/or desensing Cleanrom 1.7.5
Don't see why people stay on GB considering the quality of the latest ICS builds. Best move you will ever do.. Seriously! But to each their own.

I was actually going to say the same thing. Especially if you're a fan of Scott's CleanROM. CleanROM ICS Developer edition is a pretty solid DeSensed ROM.

I was going to say Ineffabilis v1.4 I have been using it without any problems. Good, solid GB ROM, and I stripped it clean of any sense application (except the camera )
I'm just waiting patiently for the 'official' ICS update or s-off... whichever comes first =/ But for now, Ineffabilis it is

It's not Hate for GB. I had GB on my DX for the last year of it's life. So I'm over it especially since ICS has many more benefits than GB.

Att and Samsung no new information on ics

Hello
Ive been fighting for the last 2 months on new firmware for att version of galaxy note ice cream sandwitch.
What Samsung has told me there isn't any date coming out its the same thing over and over.
Im going to contiue to fight this battle until they punch the firmware out in the us
I like note i might as well root the device

Uhm. That's not entirely true. The offical ICS isn't useless. If it's release, so will the source. That means better cooked roms as well as OC kernels.

Couldnt of said it better
I'm just waiting for the official release. I think it well be soon enough, don't worry. Like stated above. Once out i would let it settle into the dev section for a week or two to mature, then flash a custom ROM based off the official ics. Of course i would be running the official ics for a little bit until the custom roms mature. Just my own plan.

its true, the official update is useless to me. but when the official one comes out, so does the source. and with it comes better roms from devs but also, and more importantly to me....

Why wait? There are a couple that are remarkably mature and stable now. My daily driver is CM9. I'm tempted to try the Hybrid. Anything made by or if he is involved FJ is a quality product. Screw the official update crap. They can keep it. All I want is the official source released, then, well, the sky is the limit.
ive been waiting for official since i bought this thing..two days ago i said f%$k it...20 minutes later i was rooted and ROMed..i flashed ICS Objection..and i love it ... its so smooth and clean!!!

I don't give a piss about OCing. Anyone calling ics slow hasn't flashed the roms available for the note.
Ocing this phone will not benefit me in ANY way whatsoever. Already score 3800-4200 in quadrant on this rom. Have full premium suite. Run ANY game at a rate that is super smooth. Get enough battery life to have 4.5 h of screen on with 24h unplugged.
Pray tell, how the hell will official ics help me? It won't.
Quit trying to sound cool and say "oh but ocing!" "oh but this or that!"
Fact is, with current roms the note is hitting close to its maximum potential and there isn't much else to improve.
Actually flash what's currently available before you comment on what the note "will be". It's not going to get much better.

There is a lot more you can do with a kernel besides overclocking after the source is released. It will benefit each of us. I say ICS is useless without the kernel source. It may be good now for the people that have updated to the ICS roms but it will be great after the scource is released. You can say what you but there will be no comparison to the roms now and the roms after getting the source even without overclocking. You must have no idea what your talking about or maybe your just not familiar with custom linux based kernels. The custom kernels is where its at.

Remember this thread and come back to it and discuss with me what's changed.
Not much will.
You have no ****ing clue who my XDA identities are. Ill wager I know a damn lot more than you about Linux kernels.
With the current rom features, things can marginally improve but,for the most part, aren't going to change much.
Please keep this thread bookmarked and come back to it after ice source is out- I get a demented thrill when I say "I told you so."

Very true. I came from an Atrix, with the exception of the random lags i get (thinking its Snapdragon related), this is a far superior phone to my Atrix. I absolutely love the size and feel and build quality.

All I'll say is if you can't watch a video or play games without your phone stuttering, exchange it.
When I was on GB without OC no problems. And now that I'm on ICS, still no problems. My buddy's note is the same way.

WTF? Gingerbread is so damn smooth

I have been trying out several different ICS ROMs on my phone for the last few months. Never had a GB custom ROM. I was on stock UCKK6 which came with my phone and then went on to the ICS roms.
I have tried almost all of the SGH-i777 custom ROMS - and MIUI as well.
Out of curiosity I decided to go back to Gingerbread so flashed UnOriginal ROM.
First thing I noticed - Damn this is smooth. Everything - browser, launcher, touch response - everything is smooth like a baby's butt.
So whats going on with ICS? why dont we have the same smooth experience on any of the ICS roms. Is it because the official source code has not been released yet? or is it resource heavy compared to GB?
Do not want to start a ROM comparison but just curious. Having moved back to GB I am not sure I am missing anything critical from ICS. Others might not share this opinion but this is what it is for me and the things I use my phone for.
I am still bitten by the flash bug - so will continue to try out the ICS ROMs.
What do all of you think about moving back to GB and the pros/cons? What ICS feature will you miss the most? Please share your thoughts!
<puts flame suit on>
I'm about ready to go that route myself... Becoming frustrated when I find a "perfect" ROM, only to have the wlan_rx wakelock come back and drain my battery into nothingness. My favorite GB is Shishir's - Fairly stock, but with some nice tweakability, and have never run into the same battery probs.

It is a personal choice.
In here, in this world, whole universe, no one forces you to do what you don't want to.
Once in a while, I still heard some people saying "Windows 3.1 is so much better than Windows 7".
It is purely your choice so no need to put the flame on.
It's good that seeing you in fact trying out a few different ROMs and finally made the decision on your own.
That's a good sign for all of us.
I've had the same experience as well. I'm not so sure if it's issues with the roms but more with the Kernels. There is a lot involved to tune the kernels just right. I'm no developer but I believe ICS may just be a little more complex this GB.... or at lease ICS is not so forgiving.... I'm not developer so who knows.
On a side note, I just tried the PARANOIDANDROID v1.1 port so far this has been on the same level as smoothness as any GB rom I've ran. Link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660974
I even found a port for my SGS Captivate and wow.... its 10x better then the GB rom. So this rom has something going on that I'm going to keep testing out. You may want to give it a try as well.
Im still on unnamed and ics has a few system changes like scrolling and touch screen responsiveness that make it how it is

ive been running paranoidandroid since pre 1.0. its been my daily driver for sure. its ridiculously smooth and stable.
In case you haven't tried this combo already, I've found tasks aokp combined with the fluxi kernel to be the smoothest thing I've ever run. And yes, I've run many gb roms. Bought this phone the day it was released. Unnamed is an awesome rom, but I'm in love with this combo

Agreed. I've been running AOKP/Fluxi combo since I decided to jump into the world of ICS ROMs, and it's the best one I've used so far. I will definitely agree about the smoothness of UnNamed, though. I've got a backup saved just in case

I have tried AOKP with Siyah and Neak but not with Fluxi. I will give it a shot.
Of all the ICS ROMs I have tried - I thought Shishir ICS and Serendipity 9 were the smoothest - however that might be partly due to the SGS3 launcher.

Binnacle is also damn smooth. That was my personal favorite GB rom.
Every time I flash an ICS rom, I immediately go running back to GB. Maybe it's just me being impatient and not letting things "settle in", but most ICS roms I've tried aren't as quick and smooth, and that just gives me an anxiety attack

I had not even heard of this one. But saw LilChris's index post and found it. I will definitely try this one. A ROM that PirateGhost and Red5 worked on - has to be great
It shows Beta7 as the latest version. Is this stable enough to be a daily driver?
Binnacle is hands down the best gb rom for this phone. It is wicked fast and epic battery life. Its more than enough for a dd

The only thing that doesn't work on Binnacle is the strippers. Pirate took them out of the last beta build, said they were too "lulzactive" for him.

I did try Binnacle Beta 7 yesterday. I did not realize it had android 2.3.6. I somehow like the bounce effect in 2.3.4 that the UnOriginal ROM offers. Hate the glow effect in 2.3.6. Also, personally I felt UnOriginal was smoother than Binnacle (no offense) - just my opinion.
I did not leave it on long enough to comment about battery life. I flashed a different ROM. Seems like I am turning into a Flashaholic (need to restrain)
My progression:
Unnamed, then MIUI then CM7 then CM9. Doubt I'll ever leave CM9.

[Q] Giving up on ICS

Was gonna wait for the official ICS update for the thunderbolt but after 4months and numerous rumors not panning out im going to root and flash a rom any suggestions for the best daily driver ????
But browsing and reading up a little but still confused on whats available??? Would love to try jelly bean but i can settle for ICS
Battery life, speed and stability are the important points for a daily driver
Whats you suggestions????
I know I'm gonna regret it as soon as i root and flash the official update will probably come out but i remember when i first rooted my OG droid I never went back so what you guys suggest??? also next upgrade will probably be taking the nexus 4 to straight talk but wanna get a few more months out of my Thunderbolt u would think HTC would want to keep the customers that run out and bought the first 4G device but i guess all they really care about is our money.

If you're looking for an ICS build there really is no amazing one yet, but Liquid's is the best you will find with Nusense a close second. My personal recommendation for a daily driver though is Thundershed, or any of the roms from reds. I am running ikream nosense and enjoy it a bit. There is also the sense based offering of it both are pretty nice. Depending on what rom you go with there are kernels and things like that to pick up from there.
If you want something bug free i recommend Skyraider zeus 1.3. Thats what im using with the lean kernel. Its very smooth. Plus there is a sweet ics theme for it. Throw in halo launcher aswell and you pretty much have the complete look and feel of ics and bug free. Everything works perfect on this rom

As was I. I just assumed my phone had aids though since it sees to work quite well for a lot of users
Proving again that all Thunderbolts are different, don't know why, but each responds differently to different ROMS.
To the OP, remember! Flashing is cheap, don't hesitate to try several ROMs before deciding on one you like.
I lean toward the NuSense but battery life isn't quite what I need... <sigh>
Another hearty recommendation for SkyRaider 1.3.
I've been evaluating lots of other ROMs and radio combos. Nothing has been as solid a daily driver as SkyRaider Zeus.
I'm really working at using Twisted's AOKP ICS, but my Bolt doesn't love it. I keep getting data hangs, and have to reset the radios via Airplane mode off/on.
And the leaked Sense ICS was way too battery hungry for me.

LiquidSmooth 3.2:good: with the .19 radio. It has been my daily driver for almost a year now. Way better than any current ICS rom for the mecha. No problems, everything works. And it all works plenty fast enough.
If you really want a solid ROM with everything working great, Sky Raider is excellent. Especially since I like having a good camera and video camera. Nice to have everything work perfectly. I love AOSP, it is very fast, but you don't get the same functionality (dont get me wrong it is very close, but small things like camera are just not quite as good) you do with Sense. I hate sense but skyraider really is a great ROM

I sent you a private message with the link. Not sure if I am allowed to post it in the forum. If anyone else needs it just PM me.
You should check out Twisted's new rom. I haven't had any problems with it and it's the smoothest rom I've had in awhile.
So can anyone give me a rundown on the differences on these ROM's? I've seen Liquid 3.2, Thundershed, and Skyraider mentioned here. Which are Sense based and which are AOSP. Are the Sense based Rom's laggy? I've tried NuSense, and it was a nice ROM, but just too laggy for my taste. I've tried Jesters and Twisted's 11-7 version of Liquids ICS ROM, and they've been great, but I'm having too many bluetooth issues which will interfere with work so it's a no go if I can't simply turn on the bluetooth and let it connect.
I understand flashing is supposed to be quick and easy so just try them all, but it seems to take me several hours to get everything backed up, flashed, and put back the way I like it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have only used LiquidSmooth 3.2. It is a Gingerbread AOSP. Any Sense ROM tends to be very laggy on either of my Thunderbolts. And all of the ICS ROM's seem to have at least one problem or another that keeps it from being my daily driver(bluetooth, wifi, camera or camcorder especially!)
It all depends on what you can and can't live without on a DD. Most of the Gingerbread ROMS's shouldn't have many, if any, issues. Some may be slightly slower than others and look different but all should make a good DD. The current ICS ROM's for the mecha are extremely fast, but usually lack in the camcorder or wifi department.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905083 has most of the ROM's linked(except LiquidSmooth3.2 Not sure why all the links to it were removed, Liquid is the Man tho and gotta respect his decision)

I found basically all sense roms to be laggy except for Skyraider. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Your Favorite ICS/JB ROM?

What is your favorite Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean ROM? Is it stable too?
I've downloaded a few ROMS and none of them have been up to my expectations.
I've used:
CM10 A2
Paranoid Android
CM10 is the most stable JB ROM we have right now. Not sure what your expectations are, but it's not likely for there to ever be any *truly* stable and 100% functioning ICS/JB ROMS for this phone. If you want stability and functionality, you'll have to stick with GB.

I'm not a fan of the stock GB. I need my DX2 until April, so i'm looking for something I can use with almost all functionality. I've given CM10 a go but theres a few features I need that arent stable enough. I got bored of using eclipse, and i'm not liking MIUI right now.
Sorry for being picky, lol.
I am currently running CM10 Alpha 2 and, as mentioned above, it is very stable. It is also my daily driver. Every once and awhile there are a few quirks, but that's to be expected.

I'll give it another run I guess. I just need to watch my battery because i find myself charging 3 times a day with it.
I think the problem is that you have "expectations" lol. These ROMs are never going to be perfect like they are on other devices. The core of these ROMs and this phone is still Gingerbread so its pretty much like running Windows 8 on a computer that is only meant for windows XP. It will not be perfect. (best analogy I could think of. lol). Basically, we should be lucky to even have ICS or Jelly Bean because Motorola has decided to just keep our DX2 on Gingerbread.
That said, I am running Jelly Bean AOKP. There are issues that some may find to be a deal breaker. But its easy to live with it when you learn how to work around them.

I'm going to look through a few more ROMs and see if there are any I like. I'll probably have to stick with Eclipse.
