I've tried out a couple ROMs but didn't like any of them, is there any clean rom released? Don't like any of that bloatware.
Bloatware can be deleted, give cm7 a try though.
if you want stable stick with stock, and delete all of the bloatware. Takes couple minutes tops.

Oxygen Rom by AdamG...
Sent from my GT-I9100, using Oxygen (2.3.7 Gingerbread)
I use a stock ki3 2.3.5, root it and then install titanium backup. With this program you can remove the samsung crapware. Be carefull not to remove too much. Then u can install launcher pro to finish the job
This setup also gives extra battery live (less background processes)
Good luck

Try KI3 stock.
I have been using full stock and has been happy since. Tried exynos but its buggy alot.
"battery is better than stock but battery is no use if you can not use your phone"
Lot of user told me to wipe and re install exynos - did all that but i am back to fully stock ki3.
All work no fuss = HAPPY
just charge the battery when low and keep using
Good luck

I have a few questions.
I understand there are official updates for our phones 2.1->2.2 but they are operator based. So there are customized roms, that are with custom stuff.
I'm really intereseted in upgrading from 2.1 official rom to a custom, but dont know exactly which one to choose.
I once flashed a 2.2 but it bricked my phone, so i had it repaired (the phone didnt respond to any key combinations or anything at all).
So is there any point to upgrade if there isnt any stable roms.
And also why is everyone waiting for the official update from samsung when there are already 2.2 roms for 5800.
Lagfix seems like a thing to try out, but i want to be sure which rom is the best and so that the basic stuff works.
Don't know about others, but my reason for not upgrading to unofficial/custom ROMs is that I don't want to risk my phone (even if that risk may be small..)..I also don't have time to backup data, reset phone, re-install app.s, do settings again etc. which might be needed in the flashing process.
Besides, from what I read in this forum, none of the ROMs seems to be satisfactory enough & ready for prime time. But frankly, I am losing my patience fast & may soon go for a custom ROM if official upgrade doesn't arrive by end of this month..damn Samsung for taking sooo long..

Thanks for your reply, that's what i wanted to know. I was thinking the same thing that probably the custom roms arent stable enough and that the official update still aint available.
Why don't you use a stock 2.2 ROM like the JPF?

is it safe and works fine just like the default 2.1 that we have in our phones?
Sure ^^ and you cant brick your phone if you dont flash your bootloader^^ jpf also works faster^^ i would recommend to flash a custom rom. Like lestatious one. Everything works well on it^^ have fun
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
just dont flash the bootloader and you can always reenter download mode.
backing up isn't that big of an issue, titanium backup backs up pretty much everything.
If you're planning on using titanium, just be aware that you should only restore non android apps when switching from eclair to froyo..i tried this and kept getting fc's. Just make backups of stuff in the individual apps like contacts etc, then restore them after you upgrade to froyo. Then make a full titanium backup of everything once you have your phone the way you want it. From then on you can just test any rom you like and always have a quick easy way of getting your stuff back. I recommend using astro to backup titanium so you can have a version to hand after flashing.
P.S. I use jfp ultra clean and it rocks my socks

Ok, i might try out the stock 2.2 rom... But what about lagfixes or are they even neccessary on 2.2?
Cause my current 2.1 stock rom is really laggy, i remove tasks to clean up memory but it's still kinda slow.
Well if you're flashing a stock rom I would definately suggest JPF because it's pretty stable. You don't necessarily need the lagfix though..I personally found it made things a bit strange with random hangs when closing applications. Oh yeah and don't forget to use the modded 3d gallery from SGS Tools (I use the "last" version). You should be able to install it via the "Upgrade stock apps" option. You can also use it to change your GPS pool to Europe if needed.

So the jpf rom isnt europe or just needs some configs like that? But is the stock rom the best option, i don't neccessarily need all those extra stuff like samsung apps and layar etc. Pauri mentioned lestatious rom, its on JPA, for example. Is each one one of those stock roms like an update with still some bugs on them or just converted from other phone updates?
I'm between that custom rom and the JPF stock right now..
Oh it's a european rom, it's just that the default gps pool is set to north america. I installed The modded 3d gallery as a work around for the battery drain bug that the stock gallery has in froyo. Jpf clean is what I'm using till theres a more stable lestat rom because I tried jp9, which was good, but the bloatware...oh my..

Are there any English speakers here who have rooted their SoftBank 001HT (Desire HD) in Japan?
Yes sir! Have had mine rooted and running custom kernel for a few weeks...but a heads up... as far as flashing custom roms I have flashed 5 separate ones and can never get more than 4 hours of battery life from them but when I flash back to stock rom and custom kernel it lasts for days!

Glad its not just me then, was thinking there was something wrong with my phone due to the horrible battery life. Haven`t had any luck with getting decent battery life out of any rom/radio combo I have tried so far. What kernel are you using?
I'm using leedroid's latest and the radio from the newer Chinese rom....my reception improved a lot! I'm on Okinawa so don't get the best of reception to begin with....hopefully a chef will see these posts and make us softbank Japan people a custom rom based on our devices.

I tried CM7 the last couple of days (which is very nice) and I didn't have any battery drain issues. That was my first Android Custom rom here in Japan on the Desire HD. I'm now playing with RCMix HD (also very nice) and I'll see how the battery lasts on that. I've not changed or installed any radios at this point. Are you sure you are using the correct APN etc?
(It can cost you a lot of money if you are not and your data bill is charged differently.)
On a second note: I really love this Touch Input keyboard in RCMix HD, and I'm not sure if the audio was better in CM7. If you try them out - please give me your opinions.

please tell me rom version and radio version you used , please if u can give me a link for both of them i will be very happy.

I live in Ibaraki-ken. I have rooted and flashed mine with Spike CM7. I like the features in it and everything, but I too am having some battery drain issues. I'd say I'm getting about 7 hours out of it, and that is when it is mostly on standby. I'm trying to figure out ways to improve the battery life. On the stock rom though I think I was only getting about 10 hours. I was still charging it twice per day usually.
I have rooted my phone, but can not upload 2.3.3 now. I need to go back to the stock ROM but can not find it. Does any one have this?
There is a possible solution to all the battery problems. Charge the phone to 100%, boot into clockworkmod recovery, select advanced and then select "wipe battery stats".

No you can't use rom manager to install roms.
Sent from my GT-I5800
u need clockwork recovery to use rom manager which is not present for our rom
instead we use odin which is a Computer program which pushes the custom rom to our phone
note: u cannot take any backups using odin if u want backups then use titanium backup (which requires root)
after rooting, install setcpu from market and lower the cpu frequency from 667 to 600 or something
u will definitely get a decrease of performance otherwise there is no known tested methods to increase battery life
I just upgraded my galaxy 3 to froyo with i5800jpf rom..i m satisfies with new battery life. Phone is being faster as well.
Better install froyo rom...battery life is much better. ....

Hello
I just wanted to say I bought this device two days ago and I am so very happy with it.
I had a Xperia Pro and a Galaxy S but decided to go "big"
And I am glad I did.
The only small downside is that it seems to be so hard to root this one. I have not found any easy way as with for example Xperia Pro.
I am very pleased with the stock rom but I really need to get those bloatware out...but I dont want to flash a rom just to get root.
Well anyway, happy for bying this and I hope it continues to be as fast and nice.
So to others thinking of buying, just do it.....

hey flash speedmod kernel via pc odin and you will have a root access and a yellow triangle, wich can be removed via remove yellow traingle if you are on ics.
ps I recomment kingdroid 4.3 rom and speedmod kernel.
after you got clockworkmod recovery flash abyss 4.2 reboot recovery run jbdroid script flash kingdroid 4.3 rom with cf root kernel after aht flash speedmod k3-7
if you have any question use the search!!!!!!!!!
If u r on ICS, DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET/WIPE. Note ICS kernwl has a brick bug.
Speedmod kernels and a few other custom kernels have a work around to the bruck bug.
afaik :cyclops:
keep device on gb
ics is risky if you don't want to brick your note than keep it on gb
or follow safe method as prescribed by many dev and user and upgrade it to ics
i have purchased mine yesterday and i will keep it on gb till emmc-bug solution come out :fingers-crossed:
You can root ur Note using the guide here by Dr Ketan @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
As long as you do not perform a factory wipe/reset, ICS is quite good.
I myself have fallen victim to the eMMC brick bug. I got it repaired under warranty. Rooted as per Doc K's guide and flashed SpeedMod kernel. I am on it since about a month now. Running smooth.
Remember always... any time you want to wipe, flash a stock GB rom, perform a wipe and ttgen upgrade to ICS. That is 100% safe. DIRECT WIPE FROM ICS IS 100% DANGEROUS.
Thank you all for so good advices. I am on GB and plan to stay there until a safe version comes from Samsung or any of all excellent developers here.
Oh I am used to search no worries.
Probably I will end up with flashing rom soon. But I feel this phone is magic.
Besides the browser everything is perfect!!

Ok I have the Note 2 GT-N7100 on O2 UK.
I previously had the S2 and rooted the phone fine.
I have never installed a custom rom on any phones before.
What I need is advice on what I need to do for me to get rid of bloat ware, free up loads of space and customize my phone with a different look.
I'm aware a custom rom is personal preference but I just need anyone to guide me or give me advice on what needs to be done to get my phone working faster and better with more space.
Thanks,

If your happy with your rom you could just use titanium back up to uninstall any unwanted bloatware. For customisation there are lots of xposed mods that can really customise your phone

Well of course you need to root. If you need any help with that you could hit that root info tab on the note 2 main forum page. Also, if you are considering on flashing a ROM, I highly recommend Hawkish extreme ROM mainly due to the great battery life it gives and in your case, you can get rid of all the bloatware through the AROMA installer. But you could always get rid of bloat without flashing any ROMs by using those apps 'sawdoctor' & 'Simone' suggested.
Hawkish: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983626
I'd suggest to root it and then use Titanium, not to REMOVE the apps you don't need but to FREEZE them. Then use the phone for a couple of days and if you don't experience any problems, you can remove the frozen apps. Much safer that way.
Thank you for the suggestions and advice.
If u like the stock rom, then go for AliianceRom. Its similar to the stock Samsung ROM with some extra features
Or else there are many other custom ROMs if u wanna try new stuffs and experiment.
