You may want to read the Development Threads and see what other users have experienced.
I myself use Carbon with the Uber Kernel.

Thanks for the reply! I've been going through it. I am new to rooting and would want a nice ROM to go hand in hand with my Note. There are so many different ROMS making it very confusing! Is there a consensus on what the 'best' ROM is? Or could you explain to me the benefits of the one you are using and where I can get it? Thanks alot again.

You can get carbon under the Original Development Thread. It has had the least amount of reboots for me but there are many fine 4.2.2 ROMs offered here.
Asking for the "best" can start a flaming thread, since its very much a personal choice.

Ure most likely to get reboots in all 4.2.2 roms n most likely camera issues...until they release an official stable 4.2.2 rom then that'll be the rom u are looking for..to get less reboots I turn profiles off in settings n disable hw hardware layout...try that with any rom see what happens...

Best advice........read read read
As suggested by others look at development. It depends what YOU want or are looking for. Many 4.2 have issues. Mainly reboots. Some flicker in screen.
What i do is find rom that looks interesting in features to me. Then i go to end of thread and read backwards. Lets me know the more recent issues and if there are fixes or tweaks to compensate.
Lots of bells and whistles in 4.2 but sometimes we sacrifice stability.
Your choice........good luck and go slow.

In my own experience the most stable i717 4.2.2 rom is sons of android build 4, all other 4.2.2 roms I've tried where Awful for hot reboots and screen flickering. As always, make sure you do a full wipe before installing anything, happy flashing!

CyanogenMod 10.1.2 has been the smoothest ROM for me, with the best battery life. I use SD-Booster, Autokiller, and Greenify (apps) as well, which give me super speed, super smoothness, and eternal battery life.
Since this change, not a single reboot, screen flicker, or other Android 4.2 issue.

[Q] New owner, what is the best ROM available?

Which ROM out there has the best support and the least flaws? I know none will be perfect but I would like a ROM that is fast,stable, and has optimal battery life. I know i could use the V6 Supercharger to make a ROM faster but I would like to know what ROM you guys recommend? Thanks
For the 10 billionth time: It's really up to you to figure this out. Considering that there's only 4 custom ROMs available (for the 7510), I think you are capable of doing the research yourself.

I´m rly happy with this one.
What the best stock Rom so far regarding smoothness and speed ?
Sorry for hijacking ur thread

I'm going to second the in paris v5, I just rooted and flashed and couldn't be happier. There is one clich that I found and that is on some web pages in browser it will not let you go back with the back arrows, small problem but so far the only one I see.
Task650 makes the best ROM.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
check out the dev. forums, do a little research. If your asking you shouldn't be flashing roms really. All v6 supercharger does in most cases is mess things up
So avoid flashing supercharger? It doesn't take a computer genius to flash a ROM, I just don't have the time to flash every ROM and mess with it, thanks for the positive responses though.

I have yet to see any real proof that the supercharger script actually makes this thing better. I have flashed and run all of the different ROMs, and its really up to you as far as look and feel are concerned.
As far as support goes, I will say that Task and Phantom has been great in keeping us bug free, but I have not interacted with the other devs as much, and so I won't knock their Roms because I can't say what their level of support is.
Happy Flashing
Overcome is good too
I will say that I like both in Paris and Overcome. In Paris has a custom theme which I'm not fond of but you can install the touchwiz theme over it if you prefer. I like Overcome because it is the stock honeycomb theme.
It's really a rather personal choice so you do have to try more than one to decide.

Rom recommendation for Note?

I know its personal preference but can I get some recommendations on roms for the note? Just curious what many people are using and what seems to be the preferred roms....
Thank u!

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.

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.

So many new roms my head hurts :?

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
Just try them. Do you really care what I think? I like green but my wife likes blue. So just try them.
I probably should have just let this go but damn. Should I try on your shoes too and tell you how they feel?

While you have best intentions at heart I see this turning into a troll fest.
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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

All cm10 based Roms do inherit their bugs.
The more extra features the rom has, the more extra bugs you will probably have.

Quite frankly, this type of post above and "first" posts are the bane of my existence. They are about as useless as all the other spam out there, so I usually delete them on sight.
***************
@OP, I suggest you go into the Dev section and read a little. Pick out a few ROMs that look interesting to you. Then read the last 10 pages or so of each. Narrow it down to 1 or 2 that you like and read the OPs. Find one that you want to go with, then sit down, get a cold drink and start reading.
Make a Nandroid before you flash anything so that your next thread isn't "Help!! I bricked my phone".

[Q] CM or Viper?

Hopefully this is the right section for a question like this...
I'm currently running stock ROM, s-off using Dirty Racun method. I'd like to switch up to a custom mod because I'm frustrated by the lack of customization on stock. I'd like to know which of the 2 ROMs is most like stock and basically, which you prefer and why. Not looking to start a war thread here so keep it civil, options more than welcome though. I'd like to make use of the following features so if one doesn't have them, please let me know:
Wake-on-volume
Overclock

well, then you should go with the viper, the wake on volume was in cm10.1, but buggy so they removed it
EDIT: actually the wake on volume is working on cm 10.1 now in the latest unofficial release 0406

That being said, I would give them both a try and see which one suits you better! They are both amazing, it's really just a matter of preference...

switching back and forth
What are best practices for switching back and forth between CM10 and Viper? NAND backups, but what about Titanium? Can that be used to preserve SMS messages? Or is it too unreliable to do titanium backups between the different types of ROMs? Thanks for your input.

you shouldn't have a problem with titanium between the 2 roms just make sure you fix app permissions
PACman, paranoid kicks ass
I have reached that point where I no longer care for the benchmarks and stuff. I don't use my phone for intense gaming or app usage anymore so as long as the ROM is smooth, can do some multitasking briskly and has no to little bugs, I am ok.
Currently, my favorite is CM10.1.2 because it can do gapless playback in Google Music and I am a sucker for it! I am a fan of PAC-rom too but I am not sure if it is stable for our phone.
Go for CM10.1.2 with a 3.0 kernel for the best of both worlds - stability and the latest Android (mdm series CM 10 is great).
Personally I prefer the CyanogenMod ROMs (more official to get deeper) because you can customize the hell out of them. They do have the overclocking you are looking for, and yes, in one of the recent updates, they put in wake-vol-buttons. I like it because the themes are just awesome and the support is excellent. Nightly updates and nightly fixes (for the most part). There are somethings that I would like CyanogenMod to fix such as the external SD card usb mass storage not mounting on PC. That is a major drag. That is the only thing that I can think of right now that I hate about CyanogenMod. Hope this review on it helps!
