first time adding rom couple quick questions? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

after looking at the roms im thinking about downloading the [ROM/MOD][The Collective] Seraphim - Stratosphere - ICS 5/22/2012 as my first rom ever. i am still factory gingerbread. i see where on the page the top is the newest version and the botoom was the first. can i just down load the newest version and not the older? and what is the link (mirror 1) right under the first link
Current Downloads-*Newest on Top*
Download Seraphim-Stratosphere
Seraphim-Stratosphere.zip md5sum = BBE19C8F2A1DE3E212B155DA9B879C67
Download Mirror 1<====== right here, what is this?
also can i just use the QR code and thats it?
so also what im asking is when i get into cwr all i have to zip is one file correct?

1. Yes latest is all you need
2. A mirror is the same files, hosted an a separate server, so people can pull from different places and not bog down the dl speed.
3. Not sure what you mean about the qr code
4. The updater-script in the ROM should wipe data/factory reset for you, but just to get in the habit go ahead and do that manually in the main menu of cwm. Then all you need to do is flash the ROM.

Keep in mind that if your on tmobile you may get a very bad service. I did the same as you with the same rom and i got little to no data. I went back to gingerbread and went with the unofficial emily rom since i have the collectives work on all of my phones

---

thank you and im on att so i hope this works good, does any of the ics roms have overclock in them

---

Not yet. That requires kernel source, which isn't posted ontil after the official ics update is pushed to the horde

---

Just so you know, FJ's ics ROM is smoother than an overclocked GB ROM, plus your battery will suffer a bit if you overclock.

I agree FJs ICS and then put CM9 on top to get full AOSP. I'm on that right now and everything works to perfection. Ultra smooth. AOSP is just much better than the touchwiz interface.

I would highly consider the new aokp rom. I have tried all of these roms multiple times and I am floored by how polished this rom is with no FC'ing or showstoppers in sight. The dev team is great and responsive. I just love the options we have with this phone so far. If you are going to go with one of the ICS leaks than FJ's is the one to get I think. Another great dev.

How is that? I've been tempted. Are you running it with FJ mod? What's the benefit? Just looks?

wanna know the same thing, how do u put a rom on top of a rom?

FJ mod is just that...a mod. You can flash it directly over his rom. It gives you some extra features. This is what you get and more.

Here's the over the air features. There's a ton of stuff in tools as well. Too much to list any pics.

this is my thought....i have tried every rom there is out there and this is no lie lol emily is good i have a nandroid backup of it on my phone...but if u want the ics look and feel try team perfections ucle2 its the new modem and its super smooth with great battery life! u wont be disappointed. and no ics can not be overclocked due to no source kernel
