ok so,ive been looking for a decent rom for the past couple days. what is a good and reliable rom that is very similar to Hybrid and you are able to use SMEMO and SNOTE? also you can have it in tablet mode?.... im currently using paranoidandroid and i love it, but im one of those people that i use Smemo and Snote!!!and the downside is you are not able to use Smemo and Snote on paranoidandroid because its CM9!!!...
any suggestions?
Thank you,
Most of the roms are AOSP, CM9, or AOKP based. Your options are limited when it comes to what roms have smemo etc support, but there are a few. Read through the OP of the roms to figure out which has what you're looking for.
Basically any of the roms that are stock ICS based well have what you're looking for. Anything that mentions AOSP, AOKP, CM9, etc isn't what you're looking for.
Also, tablet mode is enabled by dpi change usually, which some roms have settings to do so, others you need to edit build.prop

thanks for the reply!!!
Theres no way to install Smemo And Snote on AOSP, AOKP, AOCP, CM9???
No, they rely on the touchwiz framework and whatnot.

One question thou? can i pick any touch wiz Rom(ex:Teams perfection) and by changing the System DPI go to tablet mode? or things get messed up and wont work?
You can change the dpi on the ROM in question and it should go into tablet mode. Most everything will probably work. You may have an issue with one or two apps but you will not know till you try.
Make a back of your current setup and give it a shot.

I'm in the same boat as you smemo and snote are a big deal to me but I love paranoid and so far I haven't found anything that combines the two. Im using a stock Rom and everything works but the battery life is horrible so I'm considering going back to paranoid

Hi all, I just got my Galaxy Tab a few days ago (7510) and as much as I love Samsung devices, I simply hate their software. Just as Ive done with every smartphone Ive ever owned, I immediately started searched for as close to stock as I could get.
So I found the NoName vanilla rom, which I love by the way, its pretty much pure Honeycomb as far as I can tell, only the Browser.apk it comes with does not have a Labs section in the settings, and the Chrome bookmarks sync does not work; Google Browser doesnt show up underneath Accounts and Sync.
Ive tried pushing other Browser.apks from other ROMs, and they just dont seem to work. If anyone has an answer for me, Id really appreciate it! I cant live without those thumb controls or my chrome bookmarks!
Flash tasks 3.2 ROM. That's all you need to know.

1. have you tried the Extreme Stock Experience ROM? (i havent but i know it exists)
2. GalaxyTask 6.1 + b00sted's ICS/Jetstream theme is the best experience you will get on your tab... its debloated and has HW acceleration enabled... its the smoothest and fastest... at least give it a try before you shoot it down just because of TW... its more like TaskWiz if you think about it
The custom ROMs that are created on this forum are nothing like what Samsung gives you.
I think the browser of otyer roms dont work directly because of framework changes... Im not sure abt it im not a dev but thats what i know

I too hate Touch Wiz and I've never kept it on my Tab for long because of issues with lag. I've used every stock Honeycomb 3.1 ROM.
I got a GSII Skyrocket and Touch Wiz sorta grew on me, so when the update to 3.2 came around, I decided to try Task's new ROM because In Paris was the best Touch Wiz ROM I had ever experienced.
With Task's latest (v6.1) 3.2 ROM and b00sted's latest (v2.4) ICS theme, I am absolutely blown away.
NO lag, at all. Ever. Period.
Its awesome with the ICS theme and its very refined.
Just try it, you're only a restore away from whatever you're currently running, so there's nothing to lose!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah just wait around doing nothing when you could be on task's rom in a matter of minutes and thinking why the hell did I not do this sooner.
you guys exaggerate too much about the way you hate touchwiz
Thanks for all the snarky responses, when my question was a simple one. I've tried Task, not for me. And yes, I realize that it is an undetermined time, Ive had the i9000 since launch so god knows I know what waiting for a Cyanogenmod release is like.
I know its personal preference but can I get some recommendations on roms for the note? Just curious what many people are using and what seems to be the preferred roms....
Thank u!

I'm also curious about finding the best ROM. I currently have a stock Galaxy Nexus, and I love that, so I'm looking for the best ROM for the Note that is as close to Stock Android as possible.
I really want to pick one up, but until there's a Clean, Non-"Samsung-y" ICS ROM, I'm holding off.
Any leads would be Very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Your going to have to wait much longer before anything is released, we dont even have an official release of ICS yet, nor do we have any source code, and after CM gets around to releasing a first release, even longer (probably a month or two) before it is stable enough for daily use.

Hey guys I've been doing research and can't make up my mind. I've made nandroids of both and switching back and forth. I'm kind of partial to clean ROM because that is what I always used on my old s3 but I can't decide between these two. Also can't decide between tw or nova. Can I get some opinions. Thanks guys I'm a noob to this phone I just got it a couple weeks ago coming from an s3 and love it.
I am not sure if the s-pen features work if you use other launchers bedides touchwiz so I chose that to be safe.

Spen works with apex perfectly
Sent From My Beans Powered Note2
Does Beans have blocking mode enabled? I need my quiet time. I'm using CleanRom ACE 4.2.5 and it's working great for me (stock kernal and L4 modem).
The only features of s pen that don't work with 3rd party launchers is page buddy.
As for Clean vs. Beans, no one can say which is best, it's about personal preference.
I like both of them, but I'm currently running Eclipse.
I'm sure I'll switch again, and again.
You can always try Eclipse.

I might try eclipse. So how many of you run a custom kernel? Is there much benefit? I ran custom kernel when I had my fascinate but I don't know where to start with set CPU on this phone also I don't want to burn it up. Thanks for your oppinions.

That would be CyanogenMod. That is by far the closest you will ever get to a Nexus device, but you will be giving up a bit of battery life, many of the SPen functions, and MultiWindow.
What you will be getting in return, is the beautiful stock look, being on the latest android version, and having a completely "Debloated" ROM.
Ok, I've heard a lot about cyan, but never gave it a shot. Where do I get it from and is it easy to install. Do I do it through tw recovery like any other Rom?

That's the link to the official nightlies for CM 10.1, installation instructions are in the OP of course. Yes you do use TWRP recovery and install it just like any touchwiz rom. Personally AOSP roms always end up getting buggy on my device, YMMV.
If I were you I would look into TW roms that can give you an AOSP look. I'll edit in some links.

Normally I would say CyanogenMod or a Rom close to it. For this phone the S-pen is affected by the Rom you choose. A few of the Touchwiz Roms are pretty stable and the AOSP Roms removes most of the S-pen functionality. You should try a couple since everyone's experience is different. I'm running Beans Rom and it's pretty fast without changing any voltages.
I've used clean rom a few times and have always been happy. I usually use nova as well. I'm just liking for something that's fast, stable and doesn't have overwhelming options. Does any roms out there have the on screen keys like the nexus devices do?

Only AOSP roms do, and moonrom or minitab when in phablet/tablet modes.

For a good aosp rom, I would recommend a few of these.
1. ParanoidAndroid (my favorite)
2. AOKP
3. Cyanogen Mod (obvious good one)
4. LiquidSmooth
You will lose some nice tw features but there are some apps on the playstore that can give you similar spen features on aosp (don't want to post links as I don't own the rights). I myself would go for a tw ROM and just put nova launcher on there, but I love a great stock phone as much as the next guy. Hope I can help in some way but most Roms are just all opinion based. I would try around and post back your favorite.

I've done a lot of reading, have had my phone rooted for months, performed a full backup/restore of it with Titanium, and know my way around Clockwork Mod. I haven't, however, flashed a new ROM. At first, I was waiting for JB to see how it was. It's nice, but after some months now I've gotten bored and want to play.
What's the best ROM to try for your first time? Cyogenmod? Something else? I'm looking for something that lets me keep using the pen, but other than that I'm open.
Hopefully that's not too stupid a question. Thanks for your help.
First update your recovery to twrp....then just try them out is all I can say...there is no best ROM ...they are all great

Twrp is better .......and I have a few .. On revolt right now and it runs superb.no reboots with me so far .....all I can say is flash one if you don't like it try another..

Thank you. Just looking for somewhere to start. Guess I'm trying Revolt.
Can't seem to find revolt for the i717. Do you have a link?
That's an aosp rom, if your want to retain full s-pen functionality you'll need a touchwiz Rom.
Blackstar blackjelly
And
padawan
Are examples of such. They're customized versions of the firmware you're currently using.
Here's Revolt if you still want to try that.
My personal favorite is AOKP
Just know that with aosp roms the s-pen will be rendered just a regular stylus
