Hello my fellow Note SGH-i717 users I recently got my Note and I am searching for a good ROM that has all I want out of it. Basically, I would like something (stable) that is running Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean with all S-Pen functionality in tact (the whole reason I bought the phone!). I just put the official ICS on it and I'm already sick of the AT&T Apps >.> Any advice you can give me would be great! I have searched through countless ROMs but without any luck finding what I am looking for.
If u r looking for spen stuff padawan or black star would be a good route. Black star is more stockish to me. Padawan is sg3ish.

Don't be stupid, you know what he meant. Its a typo. Nobody is perfect including you.
To the OP, are you wanting to use a Gingerbread or ICS rom? If your interested in Gingerbread try SolarisPrime A New Hope. The rom is great!
ICS = HANDS DOWN UCLE2 BASE + FJ MOD by Flappjaxxx
But many others that have minor bugs... youll have to read up on each.
I rocked troposphere for quite a while... Kinda Like AOSP
I played with tablet mods on several other bases(which was cool and different) but I already have a tablet so didnt need another one lol
Im sure that you'll want to stay away from GB roms, because if you do go with GB you'll only find out at a later date that, when you flash ICS, you should have done it in the first place... Kind like having a choice to buy either a 1990 mustang or a 2012 mustang and choosing the 90's car. Then when it starts to smell old and feel slow, switching to the 2012... Money aside of course...
Welcome!
I am using the flappjaxxx rom mentioned above and I am over all pleased.
FJ pimped my pride

I'm so glad you love your NOTE
I even love this device also it replaces my laptop because I own ASUS G53SX damn this thing is so heavy to bring around
What I love about the note is 5.3 inch screen very high def qualify watching movies or TV on it at 1080P 60fps and very fun playing games on it as well when I'm out about too . Very light weight and it fit's in my jeans pocket just fine.
For 5.3 inch Phone + Tablet all in one device compared to Asus Prime which is 10 inch screen I prefer to have a device that's a phone and tablet so I don't have to bring 2 different devices around with me
The latest UCLE2 IMM76D 4.0.4 build is the most stable i've had so far. If you like the stock experience I'd say go with that ROM. Then ofcourse root it!
I'm on the stock official release that just came out. Nothing fancy for now.

If you using SGH-I717 did you get a new software update?
Is their different model of SGH-I717 I only know Internal Version and ATT Version I was wondering on how you got a official software update on your device?
I own ATT Version SGH-I717 I never got any new Software update?
Anything by Flappjaxxx. All his roms are butter with no force close issues whatsoever.

He's probably talking about the new leak that was linked here in the general forums.
you guys are great! I have to agree ics is great had a collective rom on my skyrocket and loved it. so i guess ill have to do some reading on how to get to ics on the note. it was pretty easy on the rocket. I've rooted already and will Odin cwm tonight then hit the dev section and get to it.
thanks guys looking forward to a great time here.

You guys misunderstood what the point of this thread was for. It was to see what interest there was for it to see if it is worth my time to kick start and find others that are interested on working on it.

Super slick rom there. I'd def love to have it on my GS3!
I love this ROM, it's really great on my S II, and I imagine would be more enjoyable to use on the S III due to it's 4.8 HD Amoled
Would be nice to have this run on our gs3s
Sent from Rooted debloated stock Galaxy S3 OG I9300
Would love to be able to run it on the S3.
Yes pleaaaase! I think this is how android should work in general...jelly bean maybe?
Fysi, please ignore the naysayers, we want this in a bad way so if you could do anything to make that happen I think there would be alot of happy GS3 owners here! Now go do the right thing. /Dr. Laura voice

Amazing ROM.
Once we get CM9 contact them I suppose.

This was the best rom i never have for my gs2.
Really want it on my gs3 (think screen are better for tablet mode).
Really hope than Paranoid Team port this (or find one able to) on the new galaxy.

Yes, I want this rom too
When I got my "new" s3, I gave my "old" s2 (running Paranoid Android1.1) to my wife.
Well, I knew that this rom really missed me on s3 and I had the hope that someone will port this really innovative rom.
....so, go for it!
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Ok, it seems that everything is moving way fast around S3.
We already have CM9, AOKP and finally ParanoidAndroid
+1 here.
I use this on my Note
Is there a ics rom that gives me the s3 experience. Basically a 4.0 stock rom that would come on the s3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
no but there is a lot of addons out there you can slap on a sammy or AOSP rom.
there sure is.
you can buy an S3
OR
you could hang out in the dev and themes/apps areas and learn....maybe one will pop up
Maybe reading might be beneficial
What a magical idea
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
I agree with the "reading" concept. Read up on what values you are looking for.
It can help you decide what you want to decide on. )
You should check out Shishir's updated ICS rom. Nearly a carbon copy of stock S3 with working apps like s-voice and flipboard plus with his own add ons. Really nice rom if I do say so myself so that's your best bet

Hey everyone, I'm moving from my Galaxy Nexus tomorrow to the Note II. I'm new to the Note II community (obviously) and my purpose in creating this thread was to get a feel for what ROMs people are using. This thread is NOT for bashing any ROMs, and not for arguing.
If you would, please post what ROM you're using, and a reason or two why you like it.
I understand some people are against this kind of thread, I'd just like to get a feel for what aspects' of ROMs people enjoy, since the Note 2 is a unique device.
Thank you for your kindness in advenced
The two I'm familiar with are cleanrom and beans, cleanrom has the same look as stock with everything cleaned up and a few custom options while beans is stock with aosp theming and more customization. I like both but I've been on beans for a while because I like the aosp look. I was on cleanrom for a long while before that and it was great, I just wanted the change in look haha
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've tried the following:
Beans
CleanROM ACE
Eclipse
Jedi
All have their merits... all are good ROMs. I'm on Jedi right now and really liking it, though. But you can't go wrong with any of the four I listed above.
i also recently made the switch from a galaxy nexus ive had the note 2 for about 10 days an im jus in love with this phone.i use clean rom lite touchwiz has really grown on me so i jus wanted sum stockish but debloated of sum crap.no issues yet an so happy dat i dont find myself flashing roms every other day lol!
I only run beans ROM. I helped that man get his footing going with development on the GSIII and he by far had the best ROM for that phone when I left it a week ago. Love his styling.

Just wanted to say, gratz! I moved from the GNex to the Note 2 myself, just this week. WOW I love it. I miss the onscreen nav buttons and the branding free front face of the GNex but thats about it. The Note 2 is amazing. The battery life alone... holy cow. My Gnex would require charging by midday and a battery swap in the evening when I got home. LAME.
Anyway enjoy the new phone! I will be interested to see the recommendations as I too need a good first ROM.

I might go for the LMT launcher for that PA pie.... It's a nice feature. There really isnt a need for the nav buttons, I just wish samsung had put the back button on the left side and exchanged the menu button for recents.
I came from the GNex as well. With Beans and Nova Launcher, my phone looks exaclty like my GNex did..only bigger and badder in every way shape and form! :good:

with your experience on XDA you should know, what is going to be an excellent ROM for somebody else, may not be for you. I don't know what kind of user you are.
not sure what your last phone was, but we have quite a bit of variety here.
here is my rundown and I am sure you know basics
ICS 4.0.4...........super stable by know beings update official updates have gone beyond
JB 4.1.2...........Touchwiz based pretty darn close to stock (debloated) and DAMN stable. only a couple out there but rock solid. some theming and mods out there for personal touches. not many updates needed
JB 4.2..............these would be AOSP, AOKP and CM based ROMS. lots of customizing. basically 3 ROM's in 1. with bells and whistles are some shortcomings. random reboots being the biggest flaw. many have success using alternate KERNALS built in conjunction with certain ROM's, giving options for OCing and UVing. different tweaks here and there can better chances for success. lots of updates on these.
JB 4.3..............still early in the game. smooth but working out a lot of kinks right now. its coming along
just an honest everyday user here giving an honest opinion m my experience here. folks are great funny and very helpful and a LOT of talent in development here.
good luck my friend. I am sure others will be along to correct me on SOMETHNG
Lol I thanked I twice..im a tmo user n our variety on roms is far less than i717 IM on skeleton key ICS rom and so far it's awesome...no reboots debloated n compatible with i717...just gotta flash a tmo modem but can be used for i717...give it a try new guy it's in the development thread...

Skeleton key is in the i717 thread because there are a bunch of us that use the i717 (AT&T version) and unlock it and use a Tmobile sim/service. It works great. So, he made that ROM for us.

I dunno..."great" is different for everyone.
Some people love Padawan, Blackstar....
Others love 4.2 ROM's, or ICS rom's
It depends what you want in a ROM. I'm using Skeleton Key, because I like ICS a lot. It works just fine for my needs. It is an excellent ROM, as are all the others. It just like I said...depends what YOU want.

you obviously have not read p. 355- 378 in thread then. which deals with the ONLY issue folks have had with that ROM. with those settings, my phone runs orgasmic.
always read, read, read
not my intention to be a D#@K. too many people are wanting someone else to do the work for them lately. when basically it is what they themselves do to their phone, not what somebody else does it. so why would you not want to inform yourself and understand.
