yes, since u have a very stable ICS v4.0.3, unless if u have a very specific reason for doing so(dwngrading to GB)
if its just because of the silly reason's like ICS is not battery friendly or its not stable etc etc , it will be very noob of u to dwngrade with those reasons for sure

Not at all mate. Some users find GB more stable than ICS.

sorry to differ with u here ma8
but unless there is a very specific reason and when i say specific i mean it, and hope u do understand why i am stressing on that word 'Specific'. just for the sake of a thought in mind that GB is more stable compared to ICS and dwngrd would not be a reason for sure right

It's okay, it really depends on what the user is comfortable with. I've seen many downgraded to GB and are happy with their decision. I personally haven't considered downgrading since i updated to ics. I find it stable for my daily use

A lot of users are still on GB.I find it suits my needs better than ics or rr.Its basically that everything works,although it may be slower etc.

I would say it's all about personal choice. If you want gingerbread go for it
I have tried somewhere between 30-40 ics roms
3 or 4 different jelly bean roms
I still can not find 1 rom that does exactly everything I like lol
It's your phone mate

You guys have a fully working Jellybean ROM i.e CM10 which non-G or even SGS3 users don't have as of now.Why do you want to go back to GB?

Camera quality is great, and it's not a jelly bean issue, some apps are not compatible with jb. It's up to the app development team to update them, not the rom devs

Best rom ?

Im new to the galaxy ace forums and was wondering if the regulars could help me figure out which rom would best serve my purpose of battery life, speed and stability. It would really help me out. Thanks !

Use a stock rom if u want battery life (i ussually use KS2/KS9)
Use a custom rom with overclock if u are searching speed. More speed involves more battery drain.
Use a stock rom if u are searching stability, they are the only which hasn't bugs.
The three things together are impossible. Speed will drain ur battery. Custom rom involves bugs.
Try the latest stcok indiam firmware and several others, like 2.3.5 or 2.3.6

I think no one can say what the BEST Rom is for you.
You have to try out for yourself.

Totally agree. Battery could be better

When do you think ICS is going to be released; should I install an ICS-based ROM?

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.

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.

[Q] fastest rom and best kernel

im using feravolt but i find lags i have installed it exactly the way it should be but now i want to know which is the fastest best rom without lag i have over 150 apps (ext3).can u please share ur experience about your view on the roms and i would like to know the battery drainage ..
using doomkernel v6 and fera volt v14.2...unlocked bootloader
The best way to find out is to try them out, but since your asking. Doomkernel is one of the best ( my opinion) and roms there are so many, dixperia 7 , mm cm 7., championswimmer, chikencito Rom.

I found v10. whatever was the fastest rom.Versions between that and v.14 were really laggy.
You could try Alzbacs donut rom as its good battery life and hes cut out crap like facebook etc from the rom.
And what do you need 150 apps for as that will slow your phone down and eat up battery.

6.2? you mean the froyo version? If so, I don't think so, if you mean 7.2 the GB version then yes it is, it's available from the same place as CM9, http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2 just scroll down the list till you find a CM7 nightly, they run them about once a week so it's a ways down. Flash that and you're on CM 7.2 with whatever changes have been added to the nightly since then. If you want the CM 7.2 RC without the nightly additions it's also there http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2&type=RC
No.

If you did I'm sure there would be small demand for it. GB and CM7 introduced a slew of new subtle features such as text editing and didn't go wrong in any areas where Froyo/CM6 excelled. Again, why would you want to go back, the SGS2 was designed with GB as its core and it's why it works well.

Small market shouldn't discourage you if you want to do it, that said there are no libraries or proprietary files for the SGS2 that are known to be compatible with froyo since it shipped with 2.3 GB, doesn't mean the GB versions wouldn't work or couldn't be made to work, but since they aren't open source it could be a monumental task to get things like the screen, mics, speakers, etc... working, given how difficult it is to get some of these things working properly on GB or ICS where the libraries and drivers are known to be compatible who knows if it's even possible, I'd be interested to see if you can manage it though.
Do you know who would be the best person to ask, to help me take a stock froyo rom, and do what is necessary to make CM6.2?? I understand Cyanogenmod is already taken, but make my own version of CM, kind of like a kang

CM10 is still in nightly builds so you won't get some of your components working and still will have lots of bugs, Stock jb is currently better... But still i wont tell you to use it, try stable roms like revolt which is based on CM10.
Try rephrasing your question like "which rom is advised or suggested CM10 or stock JB? "

Getting user opinion ain't the same thing and avoids a lot of hassle and gives a better understanding for example if I and several people suggest a to friend to get a DROID instead of the closed Apple iOs i am doing him a lot of favor, saving him time and money.

Between the two CM10 is faster but graphics processing might be slightly less buggy in the stock, anyway the current stock jb is a leaked version and it won't be the same as an official stock version. I recommend you use CM9 stable if looking for a great gaming experience. Or if you are insistent on JB then look at other custom roms like the one I mentioned before.
