I love our somewhat reliable/stable JB ROMS (thank you, XDA Devs!!) But losing stock Note functionality with S-Pen (double-tap for S-Memo, press and hold for screen capture, Photo Editor) always kept me running back to stock Touch Wiz. I was a flash-ahloic til something I did broke GPS and made it unusable. So I Odin-ed back to stock and still couldn't get GPS working. Eventually, I took my Note to the AT&T Device Support Center and they flashed the most current Samsung Firmware and I'm good to go. I've been Stock, non-rooted for 28 days, 11 hours and minutes LOL.
So I've resisted even rooting my Note at this point. Just been playing around with different launchers and widgets. It's still fun just customizing the Note to my liking. But I found that lags and freezing still even happen on Stock non-rooted, things I used to blame on any particular ROM I'd flashed.
Now the flash addiction is creeping up on me...

I feel the same way. I have been a flashaholic since i had sonys xperia x10a. I, myself, have fallen in love with jellybam on the note. it has treated me quite nicely. no forcecloses. only one reboot but i dropped my phone so i think that was just from the battery popping out and in. other than that this rom is near perfect. its the best of all worlds. amazing battery life. hopefully we will be getting all those extra features soon when the official jb comes out.

Got the perfect cure for your flash addiction...try one of the Padawan Roms!!! My wife has been running V7 and now V8 for over a month...and has had 0 yes, zero. restarts or hiccups, I was amazed!!! The v8 is based on the rom from singapore, it's fast tight, and has lots of tweaks built right in...and it's a touchwiz rom so all the spen stuff works great. I'm a convert. Good luck

I liked the Padawan ROMS, that guy is a great developer. I'm amazed that he doesn't even have an AT&T Galaxy Note, but he does solid work. The only thing is that I'm not so fond of the blue themed icons.
That Jellybam ROM sounds awesome tho

You are not addicted then.
Addiction is what I have, I downloaded everything I needed to root and flash a custom Rom before I received my note. The minute I received it, i rooted it and flash a custom rom. That's addiction.

You can just have 2 diff backups and flash when needed
Just an update:
So I ended up flashing Jellybam and what a joy that ROM was! So many customization options and it just ran smooth. That is until I got a Random Reboot.
So then I flashed Paranoidandroid, put on LMT and found that it didn't work as well as I'd hoped as a replacement for Swipe Pad. Anyway, I proceeded to customize it to make it my daily driver when RR strikes 4xs in an hour.
At this point, I go running back to ICS: Novena. I dig the boot animation and that ROM has always been solid for me. And of course everything performs flawlessly: no RRs and great battery life.
But am I content? LOL
Lurking in the Blackstar Dev thread, I read about the combination of X and Flappjaxx ICS 3.0.2 kernel.
Getting to the point of this post:
That combination is AMAZING! And not in the hyperbolic sense. TRULY AMAZING!
This feels as fast as any JB ROM I've tried. Tho I'm not OC/UV, I'm only using Wheatley and battery life is PHENOMENAL!
So I'm still enjoying my "OG" Note and glad that we have a sharing community in XDA forums and gifted dev support, but if we never get any new ROMS for the lack of a source JB kernel from Samsung, I'm now on my Daily Driver.
Holla back if this combo works for you too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
That rom/kernel combo is a favorite of mine as well ...
I also enjoy cm9.1.0 with the FJ AOSP kernel ...
Both are rock solid for speed and battery life ....IMHO
Those kernels are simply the best running code I've ever used ..
And the wheatley governor is ....well ....amazing on the note.
My thanks go out again, to our incredibly talented developers, and all of our loyal users.....for making the note run the way it was meant to be ......g

I don't know what will happen if you do that, but BSX is an ICS ROM and won't be compatible with a JB kernal. I recommend installing goo.im from the Play Store and search for Flappjaxxx in there: results will show his ROMs and kernals. Good luck!

Hey everybody, I just order a Fascinate today and was interested in what ROM you guys/girls prefer to use. Im switching from a droid 2, and previously a droid 1, which had a great ROM community. I think its fantastic that there are so many Galaxy S phones but I think it is unfortunate that Roms are not applicable across models.
In addition to selecting what rom you are using it would be great to say what works great and what is still buggy. Please let me know if I forgot anything.

Welcome to the community!
Personally, I've been using jt1134's Super Clean with AOSP. Bubby323's Magic with AOSP is looking very promising. I tested version 0.2 for a couple days. and I think 0.3 will be a winner.
We're just getting started here in month 2 of the Fascinate's release, and there has already been some spectacular progress, mainly in the kernel department. There are some familiar names from the D1 community at work over here, and once FroYo drops for this phone, things should REALLY take off! (Seriously, who wants to work on a version of the OS that is already out of date, and will be replaced any minute now?)
I am loving that Blue Breeze!
Actually thought there would be more out there by now. Or at least some themes. I am sure, in time!

so how are you liking it compared to your droid 2?
using Zinc V1.0 right now. So far i'm liking it, but there's not a whole lot of difference in anything right now. I've tried jt's clean, blue breeze, aosp magic and Zinc, and they're pretty much all variations on a theme. not that there's anything wrong with that, i'm simply saying whatever you pick you can't go wrong, and it's easy to change anything you don't like about any one of them.
I was debating on which rom to install, i'm currently on rc4a. And then i was wondering what are your favorite roms? Here are the choices
Latest Saurom Rom ( version 7 i think)
Saurom rc4a ( i know some people like this stable version)
Stock rom
The unofficial
The NEW ICS stock
DAGr8 ICS stock rom
Waiting for ics aosp
I hope this will also help some others decide what rom to try first
Im also on rc4a. Tried unofficial and collective but im a goLauncher fan so collective didnt work out with me. Rc4a definitely fullfills my needs and is quite feature-rich. Waiting on a tweaked bug-free ICS rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
For some reason Saurom never really played nice with my phone. Love the ROM, though.
I ended up going with The Unofficial. Works great on my phone with GO Launcher.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The unoffical is my favorite gb rom so far. It works great right out of the box and is very smooth.
Souroum looks nice and has some nice built in customization features but its a bit more work to get setup. I just don't like having to do extra work to setup apns.
Right now I'm running ICS and other than the persistent keyboard notification in the title bar when I type and the higher battery drain, I love it. The s pen is so much more responsive now.

I guess I have flashed every Rom that's came out for the note since it was officially released. One Rom that was left out of the poll was TPC v2 GB Rom. That besides DaG/ICS is my favorite on the GB side. I am going to stay where I am at right now anyway. Just checked my Odin Counter and i'm sitting at 22, and that's not counting all the CWM flashes I have done. I really don't mind alpha / beta testing as long as it helps get a good product in the end.

I kept hoping he would return from the dead and release v.3. Now that ICS is out Ill wait for a little more stable release and go to that.

Each rom has it's own pluses and minuses to each but my favorite is the unofficial as well. I use ADW-ex with the ICS theme. No bugs I've found and battery life for me has been great. But everyone has their own preferences and the devs have been really great on all roms.

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.

NOTE!!!! : this is not a "whats the best rom thread?" :NOTE!!!!!
Hey guys with the new 4.2.2 update, roms have been coming out pretty fast over the past few weeks and i haven't had time to try them all.
1. Flapps builds
2. CM nightlys
3. Jamies U-CM
4. JellyBeer
5. AVATAR rom
6. The Collective
7. Sons of Android (Ptmr3)
Kernels: Flappjaxx 3.1.x, and ACES B3x.
As you can see, a hella of amount of roms and i cant test them all :? So im asking for some overall feedback on these roms. Any info on any of these roms will do just fine. I also appreciate any comments/replies. Maybe comment on the stability or overall theming of the rom
thanks- OPGT

Hello. This is not a pair of shoes.. It's a piece of hardware and silly roms. I, as many other users do not have time to test Every rom. Last time I checked each rom must receive full wipe and that takes a great amount of time and effort to do. And if you read the OP, it clearly states I DO want you opinion or what you think.. I wouldn't have made the thread if I didn't care what you thought. It also notes at very top that it's not a what's the best rom thread. So please read carefully next time. I don't like arguing over something silly. Thanks.

As for my feedback I had flashed everyone of flapps kangs since he started putting them out. I was enjoying them but at the same time little bugs with 4.2 made me decide to flash back to his uclf6 b12 which is an amazingly stable and solid TW ICS rom.

I am running the CM10.1 Nightlys, and they are great. They are plagued with an audio bug at the moment, so you have to use a custom kernel in place of the CM stock one. Only downside to that is battery life is bad with the custom kernel I am using, but stock CM kernel gave me great battery life, patiently waiting it out. JellyBeer was the first ROM I tried on the note and it was great as well. But I always go back to straight CM with every phone I have always used. I like watching the change log and getting the new features first. Hope this helped.

JellyBam.....by far is the "best of the best"!
Edit: it takes far longer to post a negative thought, than just to move along....if you think it's dumb....just don't answer.

I will second jellybam...I am running version 6.6 with aces31 kernel...I have been dieing to try ptmr3's latest or even the newer version of jellybam but I generally have an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda disposition..
I really wish there was a jellybam thread over here as I would love to read other's experience with the latest version. That's generally how I make my decisions on whether it not an upgrade is worth it...
Anyhow, my current setup has great features, is very stable (no reboots 3 days in), and has pretty decent battery life..

JellyBam 6.7 is most stable release so far i just dirty flashed it and no flickering or crashes. As for a jellybam thread, we wont be seeing one soon or at all in that matter... as XDA is convinced the rom is not his.
No flickers no reboots nothing after a month on jellybeer

I've tried all of the roms listed and all of them are pretty stable but my dd is Jellybam because the customizations are amazing I see no need to flash another rom

Thanks, downloading 6.7 now..I noticed that aces has a ver32 kernel up. Normally, I would give the stock kernel a try but the aces kernels have been really stable for me...and fast charge is a useful feature...

My fav is Flapps 4.2.2. I've been on it for about a week or two and it is awesome. Most stable of all the 4.2.2 ROMs I've tried. You don't see much about it because FJ isn't posting on XDA. He is just sharing his work, but it's great stuff.
I tried a few others but just wasn't as satisfied. Jellybam is a good one but there were other issues that keep from dealing with those characters. CM is also good, of course. I encourage you to include Flapps in your final 2 or 3 trial run ROMs. You won't be disappointed.
So been thinking about trying a custom rom but not really sure since there isn't much to pick from so I'm looking to see what everyone else is doing and how they like what they are getting from there current setup?
I would just give it a week or so and I'm sure some more stable releases will come out
Sent from my unrooted, extremely bloated Galaxy S4 via tapatalk 2.
shockingly I'm using TouchWiz. My only complaints with it are the inability to flick away desktop icons, no play store in the top right corner, and the folders are annoying. Why not just leave the stock folder function?
I use Apex Launcher overtop of TW which gives me the customization i want but still maintains all the Samsung functionality that is really pretty cool. After coming from AOSP Roms on my Gnex, its kind of a nice change of pace.
I rooted and removed some bloatware and verizon stuff I knew I didn't need.
Installed novalauncher and called it a day. I plan to stay with the stock kernel. I might be a little jaded coming from having to reformat my last few phones every few months once I started flashing roms.
I am completely stock, no root yet. Just testing her out to see if I am going to keep it first. Battery life and signal issues plagued my last two phones, so those are what I'm testing. So far so good.
Can someone explain what TouchWiz is? I don't see it anywhere on my S4. I'm coming from a Thunderbolt.

I'm stock rooted running Nova Launcher. I froze most all the bloat I don't use and I'm loving this phone! Battery life is great and I have zero lag (especially since I came from a Moto Bionic.)
Im stock rooted running Nova launcher as well. Removed all the bloatware and have zero lag. This phone is amazing. What a difference coming from Gnex. I use svoice alot and it actually works well for what I use it for.
I'm running the aokp build. Does have a couple of issues, but I'm an aosp guy

Running Nova Prime, Xposed v5?, Another custom framework mod to give me an Android guy in my drop down Window, Stock Rom frozen bloat, 64gig fat32 Sammy SD card w/folder mount, fauxU modded kernel, TWRP, No WIFI notification and no GPS icon mods...
I am getting itchy flash fingers though... Im reading we can use other carrier ROMs as long as we loki it.... May try that or....
CleamROM dev just got his VZW S4 today, and his ROMs are the best of the best, so I may just wait for his. ...
Currently hunting for a keyboard that can be themed, and a way to theme the rest of the Window box colors in settings/messages/reboot etc..,

Rooted but still on stock ROM, using GoLauncher on top of TouchWiz, Swiftkey dark theme keyboard, haven't removed/frozen bloat yet (but will soon, just rooted yesterday). I'll be eventually loading a custom ROM but waiting out the alpha/beta builds.
Really enjoying the two finger swiping/gestures, though i don't use them much. Comes in handy on the notification bar for quick toggles, and Toucher is a pretty cool app especially when themed properly.
Not a fan of all the notification clutter, but thats just my OCD kicking in.
SmartStay/SmartScroll stopped working after day one, not sure why, but seems kind of a hokey feature anyway...
I agree, the tweaked folders are annoying, enjoyed my previous ICS folders using DeckReloaded on my EVO.
By and far my favorite phone that I have owned.

So I tried it. It booted into the OS just fine, but the phone process was force closing so bad I couldn't get though the setup. I would type a character then it would freeze. Just lost patience, lol. I had backed up my APN but could not get through the setup to restore it.
But what this tells us is that porting ROMs will potentially be pretty easy.

Ah crap. Thank you for maning up and giving it a whirl!
