Latest ics leak is almost perfect. Only issue I've had has been with words with friends. Other then that... silky smooth.
Oh my external SD crapped out on me after I made a nandroid, but I'm pretty sure that's because the SD card sucked

My suggestion is to really dig in and read about what you're flashing... You're gonna want to go with stratosphere if you want an aosp feel. Go with flappjaxxx's ucle2 if you want to feel what ota ics is gonna be like.

The actual process(after collecting all the files AND INFORMATION you'll NEED) take only minutes.
I would guess that odin takes about 2-3 minutes for each use
CWM takes about 4-6 mins placing files appropriately(automatically)
First boot can be a sweater because nothing really happens except constant logos that you arent used to being on for so long. Takes up to 10mins MAX for first boot of a "heavy rom" like a GB rom, or slightly less for "lighter" ICS roms. Patience here is very important. DO not shut down your phone during first boot EVER! lol
Before you know it, you'll be flashing like crazy.
Remember this advice;
Always make a backup(nandroid) in CWM before flashing anything!
Always wipe data/factory first, then cache, the optionally dalvik in advanced menu for CWM. Dalvik cache is wiped when you wipe cache so its kinda like an extra step. I have ALWAYS wiped all three everytime I flash a new rom, and have almost never had an issue over several devices and hundreds of flashes.
Good Luck, and NOTHING is more IMPORTANT than READING and internally questioning everything.
and dont forget to DONATE to these guys. they are the ones that definitely deserve it. a lot of hard work goes into development and they also put up with a LOT of b.s.

Got my note round 2 in the afternoon and had it flashed and up with apps on it by 3:30...just make sure to download the files you want to your computer ahead of time. Plan it out you know..like write a list out of each thing your gonna do and then do it. Then before you know it you'll download right from xda's app on your phone and flashing on the spot!! Good flashing and have fun!
Can't go wrong with the 'Emily' ROM. It's rock solid and the one I go back to when the still not quite stable ICS ROMs flake out.
The hybrid is really fun but takes some patience and reading to get things working. Depending on what you're setting up.

Having great success with the team perfection objection ROM also, just had to flash NOTEworthys gallery and AOSP mms fix, and swype, and I'm running into absolutely zero issues at all, and it's running MUCH faster than the seraphim ROM I was running before.
Haven't tried the emily ROM though, I think I'm sold on this one for at least a few weeks

When do you think ICS is going to be released for the Note? I've been holding out on installing custom ROMs, but if it's still going to be a while, I might as well do it.
Also, which ROMs (ICS) are the best? Is the battery life better or worse? Are there a lot of bugs?
I never try any custom Rom yet but usually there is always bugs on custom roms. I just suggest u wait for the official ics.

I'm using the unofficial. Then stripped out every last bit of bloat before installing apps. Vastly better than stock and only one rom flash. Plus the -k holokernel. My guess is ICS official won't come out until late May or June at the earliest. Even after that there will be custom roms based on it so I'm not going to bother until a good custom rom based on the official ICS comes out.

Be nice. Everything in any kind of forum is subjective.
I could also say you dont know what you're talking about if that's my opinion.
Im a senior software engineer who simply does not have the time to even look at Roms.
Does that make me "nuts?"
ICS seraphim is awesome. Works very smooth and is polished. There are very few known issues with most of these roms, nothing that should be a deal breaker for anyone.
Apex launcher is infinately better than touchwiz.
Also, ics stock revamped is another great rom ported over by smartguy044.

Reading will tell you all of the features in less time than it takes somebody else to look them up for you, type a response, and for you to read their response. Trying out the roms yourself will show you everything and you can figure out your own likes and dislikes of every ROM.

there are to many now to say.
only1 is super smooth, the collective roms are ALL stable as ****, aokp and cm9 are pretty good for what they are. cm9 was a little more stable than aokp when i was using it.
i dont even think about GB anymore...so i could not give you my OP on those as this moment.
I've been running ICS leak ROMs since they first surfaced around early April. I honestly must say that the Unofficial CM9 build is perhaps the best ROM I have used. It's pretty fast, and other than a few annoying bugs (none of which are show stopping), It's pretty awesome. That would be my rekommendation.

I have tried half a dozen or so different roms, and the one that I keep coming back to is Shostock2. His latest release (4.0) is very stable, but it still needs some features added in that were in some of his previous releases. If you are looking for a balance of features, get Shostock2 (3.1.2).

You came at a pretty good time. Most ROMs are really stable and Jellybean is just about to hit. What I like to do is play around with different ROMs and see which one I like best. It's what makes Android fun! For a ROM recommendation, I'd have to say SHOstock (if you want that stock TW feel) or task's AOKP (stock Android, plenty of customization)
I know everyone's already said those two but they really are good ROMs. Of course there are other good ones too, so go explore

Anyone have great experience with the Synergy Rom? I am considering it but a review says it is laggier than the other ROMs on there? I wanted to clarify, is it at least better than STOCK? Thanks in advance
I was in the same boat as you, looking for new roms. Don't waste your time with others. Install LiquidSmooth. It's hands down the best rom I have ever used. It's stable, everything works, and there isn't any lag whatsoever. It also gets great battery life and it is very customizable
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Most ROMs are really in their early stages, but it sounds like most of the TouchWiz-based ROMs are fairly complete. As far as lagging, it's probably going to depend on the phone. Beans, Clean, Hyperdrive, etc all have great reviews as well as reviews that list some problems.
I recommend picking one that fits your needs - mods and features - then FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS for flashing exactly. Then formulate your own opinions. A lot of negative reviews or problems stem from people not reading through the original post and thread comments. Reading solves most issues. Good luck, and have fun.
Anything special instructions I need to know for liquid smooth? Just wipe complete and install ROM with gapps? Does the Google wallet hack work with liquid smooth?

He was asking about a TW rom and then you direct him to an aosp rom? Smh
I liked synergy a lot. I switched to Hyperdrive just because of the new release. #flashaholic

Anyone have great experience with the Synergy Rom? I am considering it but a review says it is laggier than the other ROMs on there? I wanted to clarify, is it at least better than STOCK? Thanks in advance

Synergy rocks, don't waste your time reading into other people trying to steer you away from you want to try. one of the better TW roms. You will like it.
I never said the tw roms weren't good, I was just giving him my opinion on an excellent aosp rom

I am enjoying the synergy rom the most out of all the ones being offered right now. The battery life increase is amazing. It's smooth, sometimes didn't reboot all the way but boring into recovery and wiping davlik as ND cache seems to fix it ( I chalk that hiccup to it just all being a somewhat new room for a new phone) so the bugs need to be ironed out.

+1 on Synergy. Tried Hyper, but for me Synergy is smoother and better battery life. Can't really go wrong with any of the TW Roms right now though.

Thanks for the advice. I am trying out liquidsmooth.. Not bad.. A little buggy on calling.. It works.. Then when I make a call,it ends it immediately.. Over and over.. Wait a few min or reboot.. Then calling works.. Any suggestions on this?

I would just recommend wiping and reflashing after you backup. I have had 0 problems with calling. Make sure you are also on the most recent build also bro.
