Hey all,
I am switching frm BB to android and am quite excited for it. I ordered note for at&t frm amazon.com for 200$$...seems to be a good price.
Now being completely new to the android world and to the world of rooting, flashing, etc. I would appreciate some help or opinions.
After reading various forums and threads, the first things I will do after getting my device is to root it. I will use rootgalaxynote dot com for that.
Next comes upgrading to ICS. This is where I am confused. There are so many versions, how do you guyz figure out which one is the best or the latest. It was soo easy in blackberry, there was a linear numbering system where 7.1 is better than 7.0 and so on. But in adroid, there are sooo many different names like onlyone, noteworthy, cm9, saurom...how to choose one and which one is the latest ?
Next, I have to enable free tethering to my laptop. I had this app on my BB from tether.com, but I don't know which app to use on Note and how to make it work. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Lastly, it would be gr8 if you could let me know what more to do to make my note more useful and efficient with good signal strength and battery life. Also recommendations for the must-have apps would be great.
Thank you.

First off...Welcome.
All of the names you listed are ROMs. They all run on the latest ICS leak 4.0.4. But since you're new to android, Id recommend stock ICS.
The latest ICS leak is called UCLE2. If you want to try it out stock ICS first before flashing roms, you need to download the ICS UCLE2 leaked "tar" file. http://www.ponack.net/designgears/leaks/SGH-I717UCLE2_74A55FA71D15964F9EC9E9489B34DE4E.exe
Be sure to download this file from your computer, not your phone.
I ffound some instructions on how To do it. Make sure you READ it atleast 5 times before actually doing it. ALSO, Be sure to have all the files you need before attempting. If you get confused, search it up on XDA...as most people have already posted it. If not, don't hesitate to ask.

i'll just copy/paste this from another thread as it applies here.

I would have to advise waiting a while.
1. Keep in mind what it means to root a phone. You are giving yourself the highest access and control priveleges on your devise and remaining at that privelage level from here on out. In the IT world this is actually a huge nono for security. Look at what you are downloading. What does the app want for permissions? Why does a live wallpaper need full network access ? Why does it need to be able to keep the phone from sleeping? Malware for android is on the rise but a rooted phone is by far the most vulnerable. With android, the security of our devises rests on us not being brain dead like iFail users. In return we get nearly unlimited potential on what can be ran on our phones.
2. People forget that this is xda DEVELOPERS. If you are expecting a 100% polished and refined product without hickups here and there then you are in the wrong place. Yes the roms are fantastic. We have some real talent working on the galaxy note but don't expect the moon.
3. Don't start trying to root and flash until you are comfortable with the terminology that gets tossed around. If you don't know what CWM stands for then you haven't studied enough. Guides to accomplish flashing and rooting exist but trying to follow along with no concept of what is going on can lead to a lot of frustration if not disaster. If you don't understand why you need to do something, don't do it.

i know you're eager but enjoy your stock rom for a while. also you may not appreciate the responses you will get asking these most basic of questions. all of them have answers easily available in these subforums either by browsing or the search function. those questions have been answered 1000+ times so dont be suprised when no one jumps to give you the answers. this is xda DEVELOPERS (i.e. advanced users) not Noobs 'r Us. have fun learning as we all did.
I am looking for recommendations on the best root & unlock method for my prime and the best Custom ROM to use. I need a stable browser, a system that doesnt randomly reboot, and good wifi & bluetooth signal. I dont game alot mostly just web browsing and pdf editing
I am currently running everything fully stock on the .28 update and it sucks for me. Please let me know what methods and ROMs you suggest

I definitely recommend Mr Wookie's Rom first. It has a lot of options available on installation that will allow you to dial it in perfectly for your needs. I'll help you if you have any questions or issues.
After you unlock your prime, use Sparkys root tool, I'll find a link and add it once I post this. If Mr Wookie's rom doesn't fit the bill you may try virtuous. I'm not recommending this rom strictly because I contribute to the team, but because I use my prime for PDF editing and it's been very stable overall as well. I run a structural steel company and also do a lot of industrial fabrication and I have a separate crane and equipment rental company. So I edit and markup a lot of blueprints and shop drawings and also deal with a lot of PDF forms for my rental company. AndroWook also has a very good and very active userbase. Mr Wookie the developer is VERY accommodating and always improving performance of his rom based on feedback and my buddy Lost Sorrow is great at answering questions and one of us it usually always around.
Here is sparky's root tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588
This development section is actually only for posting development work of your own, this question will probably get moved to Q&A or the general section.
I also suggest it, Androwook, as I have never had any outside issues with the Rom. I installed from original and have been using it to current. Plus development hasn't stopped for this unlike other Roms. The team is quiet knowledgeable should you run into any issues. I am running the motley stable and have it pepped up with habanero clock script and have had no issues. My only suggestion is take some time to consider your clock script for your battery needs. I use mine for work purpose daily as well. Hope this helps.

No worries it's happened to all of us. Citizens don't have the ability to move threads, but a moderator will stop in and move it soon I'm sure.
For what you are looking for I would also recommend androwook. But for rom custimization I would recommend aokp. It is fast smooth and absolutely no bloat ware at all. In fact you may want to check it out either way. Look HERE

As for roms, just read the dev section and pick the one that sounds like it would work best for you. They all have their pluses and minuses, so choosing one for you is kinda silly...

Ignore them. You don't want a touch version of CWM to start off with. With the regular version, you can't screw up. There's up, down, and select.
You'll want to start by looking at the stickies in the development section.
When you think your ready....ignore the pull of your beautiful device, and all this gadgety hacker, and do a search for " how to use titanium backup ". Download the app, and do a batch backup of " backup all user apps + system data". This will backup almost everything. Your wifi passwords, your wallpapers, your settings, and even where you are in games and apps (in 99% of cases).
The best money you can currently spend is arguably the pro version, which allows you to do batch restores-- I.e. when you wipe your phone or move to a new ROM, or Update to a new version of the ROM, you can restore all of your apps at once, or even pick and choose them. These apps and settings will be backed up to your SD card, which will be untouched during flashes, rom installs, rooting, etcetera. With the free version, you have to do them one by one. The pro version also let's you backup to BOX.NET, Dropbox, or Google Drive. If you look around you can find a way to get 50 gigs free of Drop box space, the most popular cloud storage service right now. This is a must....if you ever water log your phone, corrupt your SD card, or something else, you'll always have a backup. You can also schedule backups to run while you sleep.
But after a night or two of reading and watching YouTube videos, you can head into the abyss (you'll have our support. Pm me if you need, as I get notifications when someone does....and I'm usually quick to respond).
But just follow these steps until you have Recovery installed, and have made a backup of the whole system (also known as a Nandroid).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
After that, I'd recommend Flapjaxx ROM to start off with, because its a little like the Stock ROM, but has additional features that can be installed, or downloaded right from the phone. It also enables tethering.
Read here to freshen up join your terminology, but don't follow these instructions. The other ones seem easier to follow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113
And lastly, here's FJ's ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
A ROM isn't necessary, however, because you can also just root and use the stock one.
On the first thread I posted, you'll want to read up and follow the steps in this order (I recommend the non touch version of clockwork mod so you can understand how the UI works, before you use a version that requires mastering use of the unlit soft keys on the bottom of the phone, and also introduces a couple variables, accidental and non accidental touches. Up and down, and enter are easy enough, and will get you familiar without increasing the chance to screw something up. Theoretically, they're the same. But bear with me.
On the first thread, follow steps:
1.
2.
3.
4a.
5a.
6a.
7.
8.
And then read the rest of the first thread. The second link I posted will help you decipher the language. Also, I'd spend the first two nights just reading, so you're COMPLETELY familiar with what you want/have to do. There are at least half a dozen flavours or Ice Cream Sandwich out, and you'll want to look in the development section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496
Last all of the different ROMs, the screenshots, the features, and the comments, to fin what people like. Don't read into the negative comments and the issues too much however, and don't let them discourage you, because most of the issues that people have you'll A) never notice, because yoiull still be learning by the time they're fixed, B) won't bother you because they only involve doing specific things, and C) could be avoided by following the instructions closely.
Lastly, look up YouTube videos.
Search for "root att galaxy note Odin"
"flash PDA Odin"
" how to use clockwork mod"
"How to use titanium backup"
"androidcritics". (This guy does rom reviews on YouTube...he's a little young, but generally is real thorough....find his YouTube channel, and you'll be able to see what the most popular ROMs look like when they're installed and running on our device.
Lastly, if you like a really clean device, consider CM9 as a ROM, which is built from Google's open source code, and is built the way that Google intended android to be....it has no bloat ware (aside from a few must-have apps that our wonderful developers have decided are best used with their ROM), and is built to be customizable. For the moment the non-CM9 ROMs have a larger selection of mods, customization, Widgets, and apps, but CM9 really takes the cake. There are a couple downsides to CM9 though, and if you want me to elaborate, or would like a suggestion on a CM9 ROM (I've used almost every ROM ever made for our device) PM me, and I can come back to this thread, or talk to you in private.
Lastly again: Seriously. Don't be in a rush. Watch a ton of YouTube videos, and each time you do something (make a backup, root, install clockwork mod) read each thread, or watch each video 3 times. Let it sink in overnight, and then read 1 last time to make sure you have all the prerequisite files, and understand all of the steps.
And lastly, lastly, there are something like 4 versions of the galaxy note, including the international one. Ours has specific software. Using other version of the not e's software, or root/ flashing methods WILL brick your device! Everything you need is here, in this branch of the forum (look for i717 in the upper left hand corner before you follow any instructions...only follow instructions from, and watch videos from people who use the term "At&t galaxy note", "rogers galaxy note", or "sgh-i717" (sgh-i717r is the same).
I understand this is a lot, but it's all important. Feel free to ask questions (in the Q&A section of course) and plenty of us will be there to help you. Some people might flame you for not searching, but if the information in those threads that I linked to isn't clear enough, or you need more information, ignore them and ask. Everything you need is in the threads I gave you.

I know that when I asked this question once I got this reply which actually was good advice. If you ask 10 people which ROM is best you will get ten different answers. You just need to do your research and pick the one that will give you what you need with the least amount of issues. What is good for someone else is not always good for you. I still use cm7. Doesn't mean that it is the best available, but it provides what I need. It is hard to decide what to use, just try them all until you find what is good for you.

Thanks, I usually try and do my research before asking a question, I've been flashing since the OG Droid but there's nothing solid for the NT as mentioned above by Vector. I'm aware of the few ROMs out with some issues. Getting 10 different answers will always give me an idea of where 10 different ROMs stand which will give me a better insight on them so I don't mind the different opinions and suggestions. The NT is my 8 year old daughter's and I want something stable enough so she won't get frustrated with it but I guess I'll flash something and hope for the best. Once again, thanks for the input.
The most stable ROM by far is celticwebsolutions cm 8&16 GB beta. I have flashed about every ROM available for nook tab. I have run this ROM for months now and even lasted ten days off the charger without a reboot or dead battery( ultra light use of course). Cm 9 and 10 are fun to play with' but are plagued with reboots due to 3.0 kernel issues' etc. Especially for an 8 year old' you don't want freezes and reboots requiring a hard reboot. I really love the cm10 ROMs, but even 1 or 2 freezes is too many for me for a heavy user such as myself. I keep trying them and always revert t cm 7 beta. You are not missing out on any apps sticking with cm7 over the newer builds. A slicker ui and advanced ecosystem are nice though. So nice, in fact I have moved onto a nexus 7 and now my 2.5 y/o son mainly uses my nook now to play angry birds and some others. He navigates around with ease' I would feel uncomfortable setting him up on cm10 as he would often have to come to me for a reset. For us adults' an slightly unstable ROM with extra bells and whistles is just fine. Half the fun for me is troubleshooting and trying new ones. I would go with the mentioned cm 7 and call it a day.

Firstly you need to remember to post any threads in the correct sections and a thread that starts with [Q] has no other place then Q&A.
The reason I've closed this thread is because best ROM threads aren't encouraged on the forum due to exactly what's been said already, you ask 10 people you get 10 different answers, it's too subjective and goes nowhere. The only way you'll know is by reading the development threads and also trying ROM's out for yourself. All best ROM threads get closed for these reasons and why you don't see active best ROM threads here.
Thanks

I know, there are huge lists of roms that are available for the Xperia Neo, but I have a long list of requirements and thought that you might be able to help me out with something that I would probably need multiple weeks for.
General information:
The exact name for my smartphone is 'Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V'.
I don't have any warranty on my phone anymore. (I got it on xmas in 2011 and I had 24 month warranty.)
I rooted it in 2012 (april approximately)
I lost the backup between millions of files on my old computer. (It still exists though.)
I can't remember what I used to root it, but it was rediculously simple.
I installed an Anit-Theft app on it in 2011. 'Avast Internet Security & Antirirus' and I remember it sayin something like it will hide itself as system app and protect itself etc. I'm not sure if I remember the password...
What I expect from the custom rom:
It must support all the components (including HDMI, USB, WIFI, GPS, 3G, cams...).
It should be as small as possible (on disc and RAM)
but there shouldn't be any critical or extremely annoying bugs.
low CPU usage
control over the CPU clock (to get more battery time)
I only want necessary software to be installed on the device by default. (atm there are about 100 apks that are clearly not necessary)
I hope I didn't forget anything.
The reasons:
I want more battery time. (Yes I already turned my screen darker, bought a bigger battery and closed background processes)
I hate it to have a mess on my device.
I hate it to have no control over it.
I need more internal discspace. (Thanks to bad developers like WhasApp's and the 100 unnecessary preinstalled system apks. I think I don't even have 200MB available on my internal storage.)
Lesser lag and responding times (especially for the keyboard)
Best regards and thanks in advance,

I did not ask for the best rom. Read the whole post before answering in future.
Btw: When I registered here, a message showed up, implying that it is okay to ask for roms with specific features as long as you don't ask for it in a dev section.
However, enough offtopic, I asked for the rom that would fit my needs the best.
I hope you don't seriously want me to test every rom that is compatible with my phone. Not sure if you knew it, but there are humans that have a 'real life'. I can't just put a new rom on my device and test it for 10 minutes to see if it fits my needs. It takes a lot of time to see if the rom is stable bug-free etc. And now imagine I would do this for like 50 roms. It would take me years...
It doesn't necessarely need to be the one that fits my needs 'the best'.
I just thought that someone here has some experience with most roms and that you could at least give me a smaller list of possible roms.
Or maybe you just happened to know one specific rom that is very good and fitting my needs?
I read a message or something like that when I registered here. And it implied that it is okay to ask for roms with specific features as long as you don't ask for it in a dev section.

You better try latest updated ROMs use recommended kernel mentioned in rom thread, no further discussions

Let me clear up somethings... You need hdmi so you will have to stick to ics or gb... And in general all roms try to provide you the best experience... By having an unlocked boatloader you can install a custom kernel and thus getting control on processor... All roms generally aren't bloated... So I would say any stock based rom ll suit you...

I did not ask for the best rom. Read the whole post before answering in future.
Btw: When I registered here, a message showed up, implying that it is okay to ask for roms with specific features as long as you don't ask for it in a dev section.
However, enough offtopic, I asked for the rom that would fit my needs the best.
I hope you don't seriously want me to test every rom that is compatible with my phone. Not sure if you knew it, but there are humans that have a 'real life'. I can't just put a new rom on my device and test it for 10 minutes to see if it fits my needs. It takes a lot of time to see if the rom is stable bug-free etc. And now imagine I would do this for like 50 roms. It would take me years...

You don't have to test every ROM anyways and
DO not refer "the life" here...respect the developers, they do have their lives even after making these ROMS for You....
If you are intelligent enough to read the general and development threads.... and know the ROM bases(AOSP,cyno,PACMAN,etc) from good developers....I can bet you ...you will find a ROM good or even best in less testing...because many ROMS on ICS based are premium icing on the cake...
do check the rating on the right side of the thread
Ok, thank you all.
Try different roms before deciding what is best
For me carbon rom works good for 4.4.2. Waiting for update to 4.4.3
