I've done a lot of reading, have had my phone rooted for months, performed a full backup/restore of it with Titanium, and know my way around Clockwork Mod. I haven't, however, flashed a new ROM. At first, I was waiting for JB to see how it was. It's nice, but after some months now I've gotten bored and want to play.
What's the best ROM to try for your first time? Cyogenmod? Something else? I'm looking for something that lets me keep using the pen, but other than that I'm open.
Hopefully that's not too stupid a question. Thanks for your help.
First update your recovery to twrp....then just try them out is all I can say...there is no best ROM ...they are all great
-√ReVoLt√-2$HAYNE -√ReVoLt√-
Why TWRP? What is your favourite ROM from the past month or so?
Twrp is better .......and I have a few .. On revolt right now and it runs superb.no reboots with me so far .....all I can say is flash one if you don't like it try another..

skiovic card-tables
Thank you. Just looking for somewhere to start. Guess I'm trying Revolt.
Can't seem to find revolt for the i717. Do you have a link?
That's an aosp rom, if your want to retain full s-pen functionality you'll need a touchwiz Rom.
Blackstar blackjelly
And
padawan
Are examples of such. They're customized versions of the firmware you're currently using.
Here's Revolt if you still want to try that.
My personal favorite is AOKP
Just know that with aosp roms the s-pen will be rendered just a regular stylus

Try revolt JB that a good alternative to cm10.2 who is no longer supported on the i717
Thank you. Right, because spen needs touchwiz. Going to try one tonight. Thanks everyone for your help.

If you went to page 2 or 3, there is another thread that has the exact same title as this one and you may get a bit more insight as to what each (4.1.2, 4.2 and 4.3) will contain.
Good luck.

Not really . the s pen will works on a aosp rom but you will not all the feature that the s pen can make but you can thirds party apps for making notes or drawing with it . In my own opinion all these features for the s pen was useless.

Thanks everyone. I flashed Custom Canadian last night. Looked good but it wasn't different enough for me. On Revolt now. So far so good. Thanks for the papyrus suggestion.
Took me a bit to figure out how to hide the soft keys navigation bar, but now I think I'm all set. Thanks again to everyone for all your help.
I had Revolt on here and had a lot of problems waking the phone with the power button, other than that it was a great ROM, as Jamie's always are! I decided to try the [ROM] 4.3 | Hellybean | Diablo Kernel [10-10-13] from The Dude and I LOVE this ROM!!

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.

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 ...

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!

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.

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.
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

well, then you should go with the viper, the wake on volume was in cm10.1, but buggy so they removed it

well i'm running cm, but i like both, i just kinda switch back and forth, run one for awhile then the other when i want a change,both are good roms
Aosp all day for me hands down
I love sense personally but always love to try new flavors of android, overclock is done with both, by modules and kernel on cm10 and by module on sense, however a sense kernel release will take place next week by me
And about wake on volume, if it is necessary, use viper

Viper is awesome but I don't know how anyone can prefer a sense based ROM over CM...

I personally like CM right now, though both are excellent ROMs in my opinion. I just prefer the overall "feel" of CM and I love a more stock experience...I find Sense a waste of resources that could better be placed elsewhere. though you can opt out of it with Viper. 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...

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
Thanks in advance for your input

that about sums it up
Make a NAND of both and enjoy the best of both worlds. Problem solved :beer:

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!
So I'm running the ATT official 4.1.2 and looking for the most stable 4.2.2 ROM. I have not rooted yet so I am looking for the best ROM possible, any pointers would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

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.
Ok so I have a mdk version of this phone and I want to put a solid rom on it what one is the best do you think of the non tw ones? And another stupid question if I flash like dirty unicorn does it lock down the bootloadrr?
There is no right answer to this... the best rom is the one you like the most, so you need to start flashing and finding this out for yourself.
Flashing roms will not lock your bootloader. Only if you take an official update will it do that.
what the above user said is correct, the best ROM depends on the user. However, i have a rooted mdk gs4 and i was using stock for quite a whole and happy with it. after a while tho, the slight lag and other annoyances got to me so i decided to try a rom. I should note that this is my first android device, I am a long time iphone user and jailbreak expert, so i'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I decided to try Hyperdrive recently and I absoultely love it. its basically a hybrid of touchwiz for gs4 and note 3 with all of the bloated BS crap removed and lots of customization options. it is much faster and solves some of my gripes and was easy to install. I also chose to try it first because it was similar to what i was already on so it was a good first ROM choice in my opinion. it was also super easy to install. I am gonna try CM11 when it gets released to see if I like it, but for now i would recommend you try hyperdrive

Ive had a lot of trouble with AOSP 4.3 ROM's with Bluetooth. On long conversations the BT will cut out and then the phone hot boots after I hang up.
I dont use that much I just want a good daily driver

All the aosp roms bring something to the table. The touch wiz roms for this phone are great as well. There are fan boys for all of them.
See what you like.
That said. I can tell you which developers I'd follow. I say this based on user support and rom support, and listening to features requests, and a quality product. or a combination there of. Sbreen94, nitroglycerin33, dubbsy, beanstown106 , Bdogg for DU is starting out right. Andybones is also tops but I haven't seen as much of him lately.
Edit: forgot DaMadOne is is doing nice things on his aokp kang.
With the big aosp custom rom's you have a ton of peer support buy typically @ the mercy of whatever the larger team is working on in terms of bug fixes etc...
I have less experience with sacs so can't say there.
