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.

Then Why do you even have an xda account??
That's nuts. Don't take advice from people who don't know what they are speaking about.
There are some great custom roms. Much better then any Sammy crapwiz stock rom.
Try them yourself. You will be glad u did. Just read and follow all instructions. Exactly

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.

it takes about a half hour to read what you need to know, and another half hour to root, flash cwm, and flash a ROM...are you seriously that busy?

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.

And then the time to set up the rom, try different roms, discover compatibility issues, find out which apps cause battery drain..etc...
It can be much more time consuming than what you're describing.

I can get 2-3 days, maybe even more if I keep the power off. But less if I actually turn on the screen and use it.
What are you trying to find out here? The battery on the Note is what it is.
aw geez, not ANOTHER "how's the battery" thread....
NO ONES BATTERY WILL BE THE SAME AS YOURS...THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS TO TRY IT YOURSELF!!
sorry about the caps, but this question just makes me crazy...

I highly recommended rezrom. Amazingly good rom.
I've been a huge fan of Scott's work since I got my rezound. I'm currently on the DE version but for a long time used the his CleanRom Pro Edition. It was super stable and had a ton of tweaks.
Here's the thread
Scott's Developer ROM is as close to flawless as I've seen.

I'm liking CleanROM DE a lot. Feels like AOSP with the Sense features (phone, contacts and camera) that you want and nothing more.

You have to manually flash the kernel through fastboot after installing the rom.
By the way, s-off your phone, makes trying out new roms and restoring your old one much easier.
yeah you just have to extract the boot.img from the download venasaur gives you, flashing the rom in amon ra, and then going to bootloader to flash the kernel/ph image
I went to venasaur on GB s-on and now ics s-off, I like it both ways, i've still yet to try Scott's rom

Well the first thing you may want to consider is getting S-OFF. It's a pain in the ass, but it will make life easier afterwards.
If you haven't tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMS I would highly recommend giving this one a spin. This what I am using & I absolutely love it. However there are a ton of other awesome ROMs on here as well, just depends on what you are in the mood for.

You can stop at the flashing the kernel part, don't need that.
So basically if I s-off my device, I can just flash a rom without having to go thru the steps that are required for s-on?

If the dev ported for s-off devices, which most of the good ones are now. BAMF 2.1, Rezrom 3.4 and Scott's DE are the ones I have been running as daily's. Actually, after doing a Desense BAMF 2.1 is a touch better on the eyes over Scott's DE but they both perform the same.
I think you misunderstood my question I am just trying to determine if I should s-off my device to make flashing roms easier? Is that the point of s-off?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
If you don't flash roms often or do alot of theming. Maybe you want to try a leak and your Rez ends up not liking it. You can rollback hboot/radios and nandroid restores are even more painless. There are more advantages but those are the major ones that made me decide to adopt s-off.

I'm personally on Saurom 7.2. Super smooth and looks good. But I've also heard that the OnlyOne S3 ROM is pretty badass.

That's all gonna depend on what you want. Do you want GB or ICS leak. If ya wanna stick with GB. Then saurom is the way to go. I ran it since it came out with great results. As far as ICS there are several great ROMS all with different features. Id read through the dev section and see what your personal preference is!

Go for it.. You wont regret
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).

Personally I liked Task's AOKP for some time, but recently flashed CM9 - and probably will stick with it until more stable Jelly Beaner...for stock - ShoStock is my choice

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

As myself and Red5 maintain, the best ROM is the one that works for you. It may take a few hours, but give a few a try, and see which YOU like the best.
As the general rule in this board, "vs" threads are no-go, so I am going to close this here (our board was a mess before this rule, with masses of "vs" threads popping up everywhere)...
Recently google released 4.1.2 for the S2 it installs like a charm.

I can understand your feeling friend but recommending Rom is a big no no here. No one would do it. Everyone has his own preferences. The Rom I like can't be someone else's favorite. Everyone here has tried many Rom before settling with any one Rom. That too only for few days. There are so many good Rom you would love to try YOURSELF. Read the changelogs. See the screenshots. Then decide what to try. Best of luck. Ask any further doubt you have.
One more thing. Don't say thanks. Press THANKS button on the left.
