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.

Then Why do you even have an xda account??
That's nuts. Don't take advice from people who don't know what they are speaking about.
There are some great custom roms. Much better then any Sammy crapwiz stock rom.
Try them yourself. You will be glad u did. Just read and follow all instructions. Exactly

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.

it takes about a half hour to read what you need to know, and another half hour to root, flash cwm, and flash a ROM...are you seriously that busy?

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.

NO ONES BATTERY WILL BE THE SAME AS YOURS...THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS TO TRY IT YOURSELF!!
sorry about the caps, but this question just makes me crazy...

I came from an Atrix 2 with about 2 months of iOS usage in between. I'm currently stock 4.0.3 rooted with Cherrypicker V 3.1. I was wondering what some people considers to be the better ROM or combination of different mods. I helped a lot and became a senior member from the Atrix 2 thread but I've been gone for a while. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have tried half a dozen or so different roms, and the one that I keep coming back to is Shostock2. His latest release (4.0) is very stable, but it still needs some features added in that were in some of his previous releases. If you are looking for a balance of features, get Shostock2 (3.1.2).

Personally I liked Task's AOKP for some time, but recently flashed CM9 - and probably will stick with it until more stable Jelly Beaner...for stock - ShoStock is my choice
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
You came at a pretty good time. Most ROMs are really stable and Jellybean is just about to hit. What I like to do is play around with different ROMs and see which one I like best. It's what makes Android fun! For a ROM recommendation, I'd have to say SHOstock (if you want that stock TW feel) or task's AOKP (stock Android, plenty of customization)
I know everyone's already said those two but they really are good ROMs. Of course there are other good ones too, so go explore

As myself and Red5 maintain, the best ROM is the one that works for you. It may take a few hours, but give a few a try, and see which YOU like the best.
As the general rule in this board, "vs" threads are no-go, so I am going to close this here (our board was a mess before this rule, with masses of "vs" threads popping up everywhere)...
I'm just looking for a good Rom. Just other people's opinions.

For me the ones that are liked are Flapps roms, Blackstar and Padawan for ICS. For Jelly Beans JellyBam and AOSPXxX. Just try them. There are very excellent developers in this forum and many different flavors to choose from.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
You are asking a question where there is no right answer. And it has been asked before MANY MANY times by others.
All answers will be subjective, and the only right answer is for you to try each of them. Maybe start with TW-based ICS roms, because they are most stable and close to stock experience. Once you know what you like and what you don't like, then, try some JB roms and others for different flavors. You can tell which ones are popular by the number of posts on the thread.
I am on Nebula (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963437&highlight=nebula).
I started with PA for awhile, and loved the custom DPI option. It was awesome. But started to miss S-Note/S-Memo. The alternate apps and pen gesture worked, but they weren't the same.
So, I went to Padawan V5. It was very good, with all the stock features. But, there were some AT&T stuff popping up in contacts which was annoying.
Then I went to Nebula, basically the same as Padawan, but based on Canadian ICS rom. Everything works, no bloat.
I have been thinking about going to Padawan V8, but now that my fiance has Note2, we use NFC, so I decided not to.

It's also extremely stable, I'm still on update 11 but i have a 9 day and 19 hour uptime and still counting. the longest I've had since I was running stock. Hopefully FJ will be back when JB hits for the i717 I love his roms.

Anyone have great experience with the Synergy Rom? I am considering it but a review says it is laggier than the other ROMs on there? I wanted to clarify, is it at least better than STOCK? Thanks in advance
I was in the same boat as you, looking for new roms. Don't waste your time with others. Install LiquidSmooth. It's hands down the best rom I have ever used. It's stable, everything works, and there isn't any lag whatsoever. It also gets great battery life and it is very customizable
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Most ROMs are really in their early stages, but it sounds like most of the TouchWiz-based ROMs are fairly complete. As far as lagging, it's probably going to depend on the phone. Beans, Clean, Hyperdrive, etc all have great reviews as well as reviews that list some problems.
I recommend picking one that fits your needs - mods and features - then FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS for flashing exactly. Then formulate your own opinions. A lot of negative reviews or problems stem from people not reading through the original post and thread comments. Reading solves most issues. Good luck, and have fun.
Anything special instructions I need to know for liquid smooth? Just wipe complete and install ROM with gapps? Does the Google wallet hack work with liquid smooth?
Thanks!

I am enjoying the synergy rom the most out of all the ones being offered right now. The battery life increase is amazing. It's smooth, sometimes didn't reboot all the way but boring into recovery and wiping davlik as ND cache seems to fix it ( I chalk that hiccup to it just all being a somewhat new room for a new phone) so the bugs need to be ironed out.
