Rom suggestions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Top of the morning all. I wanted a few suggestions on which Rom I should go with. I have had my Note for a couple of days and I already have it rooted and installed CWM. I'm not exacly sure what I want out of the Rom though. I know how install roms, but I'm still a noob when it comes to them.

It all comes down to user preference
No ROM is better then another
Try them all
Literally lol
There is no disappointment with these ROMs
Some are complete but others like MiUi and CM10 still have a couple things broken
Read read read read and read before flashing and YouTube videos and tutorials so you have an idea of what you're doing and do things right
Good luck and have fun flashing!

I'll probably end up going with Black Star V. No particular reason though lol. It was the first one I saw. I just want the bloatware gone. That's usually the first thing I look for. I'll do the Tether Hack and then add themes and I'm good to go. It's already running fast enough for my liking so no need for me to overclock or anything. I'm 100% noob still. I'll actually read them all this time around. When I had my Droid X I was on the same Rom for like a year because it was good enough for me. I'm like if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Look for thread counts and ratings. That tells you what is more popular and so it is an indicator of what is good. Like JayRokk stated, try several and you will see what is good for you.

Just like all the above mentioned, there are great support within all the GNote threads, no matter what you choose or like, just read the OPs and see what fits your needs/requirement as to all are different.
BStar is my DD= daily driver.
Here is a listing of all ROMs and Tools in the GNote family threads, some loser put it together, so make sure you flame him hard.

You are the man bro! I'm going to do the BStar since it was the first one I saw lol. Oh and I just saw the APN trick so I'll for sure be doing that too. Thanks a million!

Saurom. Yeah, its gb, so what?
It has built in call recording. If it had built in blacklisting it'd be the perfect phone.
If you just love chrome, any of the ics or cm9 ones will do. They are all about the same... Kind of boring.

Abt the same?

Which one is not boring? if it's theme bling you're after just get a blinged out case... I want function.
Hence my recommending saurom. It does what the others fail to. Make your phone a worthwhile investment. Makes the phone alone better.
What's the deal with the way ugly preschool looking contacts on ics and cm9 ROMs?

All I need to know is what does it do.
If it places calls and surfs the web. So did my Nokia. Heck android has file managers! Though seldom in a packaged rom. That's great.
I'm just not into themes. My ringtone is a 1950 telephone.

Lol is that not the real reasons for a smart phone, web, emails, txt and make calls?!? All else just extra, right.

CM9 official is the safest choice for original android experience, just went stable.
Fjmod uclf6 for debloated stock experience, add phmod for galaxy s3 flavor.
Everything else is more or less a derivative of these two. No real difference.
I wouldn't recommend cm10 yet, in a few months it would be THE rom to have however.

Yeah. A killer phone with a PDA. It took forever and a million of us new it was coming 15 years ago... who thought Newton's company would be a major player?

I've begun laying the work for the first Foxstar Rom on the HTC Amaze.
One Problem.
I have no amaze. My girlfriend does [jessfox on xda]. She happens to live 20 mins away, and sort of needs her phone.
So, I need YOU!
You want to wake up the community here a bit? Want to stop seeing n00bish threads about BOOHOO WE GOT NO DEVS?
Want to be a part of some real development work?
Like having stuff before its released?
Want to cure AIDS and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict?
Well we can do some of that together!

Let's do this!
I'lll be happy to help you out bro
I'll test too.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
Would love to test! Is it based on GB or ICS? Sense? Would like a little background info
Ok i emailed you

My main philosophy as a Rom Chef / Dev has always been performance tweaks with the ability to allow the user to customize.
On the SGH-t989 [T-Mobile GS2 Variant] I kept touchwiz optional, but modified it to allow the user the ability to customize as they saw fit.
On the Epic 4G, StarskyROM was the same way. Hella performance and battery savings, mods to allow customization, but absolutely no bulls*** overhtheming.
There is nothing worse than flashing a ROM that is amazingly well set up, only to find that the theming is HIDEOUS, and difficult to change.
I keep stock looks with minor UI tweaks.
I add custom init.d scripts, build.prop tweaks, framework edits, animation speed edits, battery saving scripts and then I post the first RC.
After the first Release Candidate i await feedback from the community. Where we go from there is up to them. That is what I believe is the best method for development work. Get your idea out there, let people use it and tear it apart, then suggest changes. It's the heart of open development :]
That being said, this will be Sense 3.6. This will include Rosie and her mods [eventually].
Thanks for your interest. It should be fun developing for a phone which I do not posess

I don't forsee a time when your phone won't have service.
However, if for some reason you didnt have service, your just restore a NANDROID backup of when you did. Problem solved :]
and yes jessfox is quite awesome.
I would love to be a tester. Please PM me if there is a slot available.
Id love to test I enjoyed foxstar beta testing on the t989 are you gonna have the same issue reporting system in place.

You have to unlock your bootloader at HTC.Dev and then just install a recovery and superuser and you are rooted.
Would like to test, I have HTC dev unlock, s-off, juopunut hboot, and currently running a sense 3.6 rom, not the leaked one, another one that is modded, with no hboot and recovery. Btw is this themed?

I haven't rooted and I haven't found a need to, yet. I probably will when I find an AOSP ROM that I like.
If you want the vanilla ICS look and feel on your home screen, try Apex launcher. It's faster and snappier than using sense.
I would say yes, at the least it will allow you to rid the bloatware you will never use. Unless you use or like the bloat and some of the useless apps put on all phones.
Apex launcher did it for me. Thanks!
I'm actually not concerned with any bloatware, which is only a few programs. Guess I'll be leaving this one alone then.

Anw, it's true though.... So far speed rom has been pretty good for me.
So far so good, except for the occasional force close when I text with multiple contacts
i thought about not rooting either but i was like eh whatever, and gave energy a try. battery life and phone speed is sooo much better. along with the removal of worthless bloat! been using for past 2 months or so and so far there's been absolutely no bugs or problems. so i suggest root!
I've been debating the same idea... I've rooted every android phone I've had..but as of now I dont see the point on this phone besides removing bloat until development picks up a bit..

So no ICS ROM is a working one? Interesting.
All the ICS ROMs are working. Some are works in progress but the ones based off of the latest release works fine. +1 for Speed Rom. Best ROM yet with most of the bloat removed. Something to hold me over until a true AOSP ROM comes out.

I broke last night and gave the Speed Rom a try. Very nice!! It doesn't hurt, but it's good to see all that bloatware removed. Rooting was a breeze but I'll hold off on the S-Off for as long as I can lol. Not too crazy about grounding the phone out just yet.
It's only been a day, but I've yet to run into any issues with the Speed Rom and battery life is great. One weird thing though is when I get a call and the phone is locked, I have to unlock the screen to see who it is. Is that normal?

By popular demand I have made a red theme for the latest Global RUU.
What is themed?
-Status bar icons
-Notification window
That is it for right now, but more is coming! I will theme major apps such as Settings, Camera, and the keyboard.
So... that is all I have to say for right now. It took about 3 hours but it was worth it.
Downloads!
WolfRed Theme 10/20/2012

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see what this turns into.
Testing the zip, might take a while,
perhaps a vr theme will come out better
New link. Zip actually works now.
Downloading now thanks. Will probably flash later today or early tomorrow and let you know. :good:
Damn dude this is a pretty theme, thanks for posting it for us.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
This is looking damn fine, Wolf. May I ask which ROM you are using as a base? I know that a VRTheme is supposed to be universal but I was just curious if it will work for all global ROMs.
This is a lack of knowledge on my part rather than questioning your methodology so please don't take offense. I know that themes for the ICS OTA don't transfer over to the global but I wasn't sure if its the same global to global.
I thought it was too basic and people wouldn't really care, but I will definitely add to it.
I used the SystemUI.apk from the latest RUU, so it works on stock but I don't know what else.
You can try but make a nandroid first in case it doesn't work.

Aloha wolf,
I tried to run this with Chingy's Rom deus 1.2, but the status bar crashes. I have been looking for a red theme to run with this Rom. After you update this I would hope you would consider using Chingy's base. However I like the white icons on the status bar and red everywhere else.

That is a gorgeous shade of red you used! Looks great!
Finally got some time to continue working on this. I will be theming some things like the camera and settings app.

volume booster

Figured I would pass this along for anyone wanting to make there galaxy note speakers louder give this app a try on gplay its by far the best one I've ever used Volume+ it only costs 1.99 but its worth every dime.
I have tested it on my Verizon note 2 it should work for other android devices as well. If I've helped someone hit thanks.

Even the deaf can hear it.
I'll bite: howz com y'all no likey this?
I understand that it must be considered pointless, given the unanimous scorn but, as an unabashed noob, I would like to know why.
For instance; there is a definite boost to the volume I get when playing music through my car speakers, using Bluetooth, and an equalizer app (so long as I use particular settings). Given that, why does it appear that no previous respondents to this thread seem willing to entertain the idea that the pitched (intentional word choice) app could provide a similar result.
I have no vested interest in this app: I have a great interest in the nature of the responses to the OP, however.
Thank you.

Given that, why does it appear that no previous respondents to this thread seem willing to entertain the idea that the pitched (intentional word choice) app could provide a similar result.
I have no vested interest in this app: I have a great interest in the nature of the responses to the OP, however.
Thank you.

I can't speak for all these jerks, but to get an actual audio boost, you just change a few numbers in a single system file. I do it every time I flash a new rom and never have to worry about keeping an app open.

@DaemonAshra,
Would you mind elaborating on your method for me?
If you don't want to here, you could PM me.
Thanks.

Don't worry about some of the people on here. Just keep browsing XDA and learn some things. You'll find a lot of cool stuff.

great job , sir:good:

this rom looks truly amazing. i actually like it more than miui. however theres just too much chinese. and i cant get.into. mobile networks and a couple other settings without getting this FC.
VERY hard to navigate with the chinese. initial setup youre flying blind through some menus you cant make heads or tails of.
definitely has potential though.

I really like the looks of this ROM.its a totally different ui and it isn't miui.
Is there anyway to get less Chinese? Or is that just how it is since it's a Chinese ROM? I don't want to sound like a cry baby @Tquetski I'm only jw. I appreciate your work on these ROMs. I think this one has some real potential. Its really cool looking

After stability is worked out I'm going to translate it properly
I want to adjust things a little because I feel that this deserves proper localization
APN settings will always produce a FC but it doesn't matter honestly; 4G still works and sticks through reboots lol; I'm doing a really invasive thing and forcing this firmware to use the S4 APNs, it was not made for the S4 ;x
Alright so 4g does stick on reboots. It took my phone maybe 5 minutes for 4g to show up but once it did I was good.
Kept getting the settings FC when trying to enter GMail Account (backup account) but just kept closing it and finally went away. Tapatalk kept FC though [emoji35] I'm back on my DD as I'm off too work. I'll play with ColorOs when im home later.
PS. I tried flashing supersu to have root and no dice any suggestions

Nope. Only TW SafeStrap compatible ROMs for you [emoji17]

Thanks. I think it is great devs put out great ROMs for the end user. I really do think the OP's should be more informative though. At least tell us what will work and what is compatable. This ROM is not the only one with very little information, some of the big names are very vague as well. I am new to the S4 and come here looking for ways to optimize my phone, it would be nice to have reliable information posted in the ROM details how to install.

I understand your frustration. I think the devs who have a rom that works for multiple devices/carriers just forget about the few phones/carriers that do have limitations like that.
Check this thread out. Lot of good information to get you going

Sure let me go back and edit 30 threads with a device specific FAQ to cover the general issues which will take a while for me to garner because I only own 1/30
Meanwhile if someone wants to adb their stock firmware for me I could maybe make some stuff you could use with safestrap, but when I make this offer it never pans out because very rarely does someone want to actually get their hands dirty
I can install this rom based kitkat, I had safetrap?
