What is good, Note brethren?
I've been using CM9 since I got my Note and flipping love it.
Just to break the 'norm' a bit, I'd like to try the TouchWiz ICS ROM for our Note.
The only thing is ROM size. I love the small size of CM9/AOSP/AOKP ROMS, and would like to achieve the smallest ROM possible, without losing functionality.
I'll be using the Canadian ICS ROM!
Can anyone please inform me on what I need to remove from the ROM in order to make the ROM size super-streamlined?
If I could get the ROM size to under 300 MB, that would do nicely!
Thanks in advance!!
Padawan is only 400mb. That's pretty small for a TW ROM. Its also super-smooth.

SlimBean is less than a hundred megs. So if you want "slim" then check out SlimBean.

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.

I'm running Noteworthy BETA 2 right now and I'm really liking it. I've only come across a couple very minor issues, the theming is top notch, it seems to perform well. Just add apex launcher and you're good to go.

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.

Hi. first of all I just want to say that I'm a big admirer of XDA forums I've been following the forums for quite some time on various phones but I'm not very active in posts / replies due to my inexperience.
I'm sick of AT&T taking forever to give us ICS and I'm not willing to wait just to get a whole bunch of bloatware and the same old touchwiz. I've come across two good roms: Onlyone and Objection. I'm kind of leaning towards Objection because It's giving me two UI options: Android 4 and the new Touchwiz, but from the replies I got the impression that Onlyone is more stable. Are there any ROMS that use the official ICS code released by Samsung or not yet?
Here are my main concerns: battery life, ROM stability and speed, and of course the good additions like updated touchwiz, S-voice, etc.
Try them all and see which you like best. Nobody can tell you which is best, because that is purely opinion based. There aren't that many, so just learn how to use titanium backup so switching between roms doesn't take too long.

Thanks for the replies. I'll definately utilize titanium backup and I'll look into The collective Mesosphere with nova and zoom zoom =)

If you prefer the unmodified, pure Android experience that you would get on a Nexus device, you can come close with a CyanogenMod based ROM. These are my personal favorites as they are practically bloat-free and don't have any carrier/manufacturer customizations. The downside on the Note is that there is no S-Note/S-Memo. Hopefully the CM devs will get these apps to work eventually, but the S-Pen does work.
If you like the TouchWiz interface then try one of the TW/ICS leak based ROMs such as OnlyOne. That was the first ICS ROM I tried and I liked it, but overall I prefer CM9.
you can try those ROMs from this guy - flappjaxxx. They are the unofficial CM9 ROM and UCLE2 stock-base ROM. They are really solid, stable, daily drivers and supported well by the awesome developer. These roms get very good comments from XDA-users.
I've tried every single rom.
for CM9- I'd use Mesosphere the rest were pretty unstable.
For Ucle2 + S-pen functionality i'd use FJ's Build. Onlyone was laggy for me.

This is like asking what beer should I drink or who is the best Golden Girl. Everyone is going to have different answers and you really need to try some and find your favorite.
That being said I am a big fan of flappjaxxx's UCLE2 rom.
My recommendation is to go with the Unofficial build of CM9 by h0tw1r3.
Nothing beats the cleanliness of AOSP, and the added features that Cyanogen throws in are well worth it.
I have been running it since he released the first build and it is extremely stable. And thanks to CalcProgrammer1, it was just updated and we may even see nightly builds.
Thanks Calc!

Hey everyone, I just purchased a new note from Telus in Canada and I love it. It was quite a substantial upgrade from my old x10. With the x10 it was almost a MUST to use a custom rom to get it working at a satisfying speed. I'm just wondering if thats the case with the Note, is there a substantial increase in performance with the roms? I dont mind touchwiz but I think i would prefer stock android or CM. All of this was pretty easy to do with the x10 but i'm feeling pretty lost right now, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Its been almost 3 weeks with my note and I did not notice any lags I just love it the way it is.........but I did rooted it asap for apps like s voice and s3 widgets etc ....i might flash the 1st jellybean rom which comes....lol .....
If its ics ...its good...
If its on gingerbread ....then update it ota ...

cyanogen is working on jelly bean for the note. as soon as it's ready you can be sure it will be at the top of the development section.
also if you're already rooted then there is no reason not to flash a custom rom. it takes 5 minutes tops and it removes all the carrier bloat and adds some goodies and tweaks we all love. try out team perfections latest release if you like the stock feel but without the garbage.

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.

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.
