as the title says, i'm a Gnote n00b (yet android and I9100 veteran )
this is my 4th android device (Nexus One > Samsung Captivate I897 > Samsung S2 I9100 > Samsung Note N7000)
the N7000 came to me with ICS_Stunner_1.4.19 pre installed by the guy i got if from and LP5 modem
on this issue:
* i know AOKP is not as good as Samsung based roms (the pen thing) but i also understand that there are other issues, what are they?
* is the modem OK? or should i switch it to something else?
* if i decide to go from Stunner to other rom, any special thing i need to know?
Congrats
I've got the Same situation here mate ,made the transition more than two weeks ago , with mixed feelings , but the perfectly huge size is what's keeping me with this baby.
I haven't messed about with ICS yet ,but I know there are problems with loosing root when switching ICS ROMs
Something about ICS repaks as well....
and while I'm a noob no longer , I really don't view myself as an expert on custom ROMs either , especially ICS ROMs , so you should ask someone else about this.
but my info goes like this:
1.you need to flash abyssnote 4.2 kernel as it has red pill recovery which is needed to flash ICS ROMs
2.from there you should wipe everything ,factory reset ,cache ,dalvik.
4.flash an ICS ROM and that's it.
4.Pray you still have root
Hope I helped and sorry for not providing links as I'm on my mobile browser.
EDIT: here is a link for you , even though you already have an ICS ROM ,I think you'll find some interesting info there

EDIT2: Could you check one thing for me since you're on ICS , could you check if ICS supports RTL (Arabic) character shaping by default? Thanks

Lesson n. 1
How not to begin a topic.
welcome to the NIGHTMARE
you should look at S. U. R. F. A. C. E Rom thread. the Rom is very nice and he has very good tutorials for beginners!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Well, first of all, the latest roms are not always the best ones. Since gingerbread 2.3.4, we've had in sequence: JVQ, JVR, JVS, JVT and now JVX, JVW and JVZ.
However, many still consider JVR to be smoother and more stable than the newer ones. Then, there is also the wifi problem on JVS and above.
Similarly, there is the infamous phone.apk force close problem on all these roms, which was not present on gingerbread 2.3.3.
But gingerbread 2.3.3 had serious battery drain issues, which weren't present on Froyo roms.
So, here's what you need to know as a beginner:
-The latest roms and custom roms give you the advantage of theming, modding and tweaking, all of which are very fun and exciting. Seriously. I used to flash my galaxy s multiple times a day.
-But the smoothest, lag free roms are the Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Stick with those if you want stability and speed. After all, gingerbread doesn't have any important extra functionalities. But, froyo roms lack support for latest tweaks and themes.
So, if you're happy with your current rom, there is no actual need to change it.
But, if you are really keen on trying other roms before settling down, you need to be able to flash roms. To do that, you'll need to:
1) Install Samsung Kies to get the samsung usb drivers
2) Download odin 1.3 or above
3) Download the rom of your choice and follow their flashing instructions
4) To be safe, download a froyo stock rom and a gingerbread stock rom with bootloaders just in case you need to revert to stock
5) To be even safer, perform the unbrickable mod on your phone first, though the SGS is pretty hard to hard brick anyway.

hi, i've had a look about but cant see any threads on flashing a custom rom to my 4G LTE tab, im not fussed about the 4G working as im in the uk and cant use it anyway!
only my tab is a bit laggy and wanted to install a cleaner faster rom to my device, any ideas how ?!
cheers dom
Only options at the moment are KANG based builds, either AOKP build from Romanbb or the build from seraphimserapis:

As I'm in need of both camera and LTE I haven't tested either build other than early kernel tests so I can't say what the differences might be. Both threads have information in them though so you'd likely be able to read through and come to a conclusion as to which you want to try (or just try them both).
If you're in need of camera then you have to stay stock 3.2 as there is no camera support yet in CM9 builds. Also there has been no development of custom 3.2 ROMs for the LTE tab.
great, do you know if i can just flash it with a rom from a wifi 10.1 like this ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488596
because being in the uk i have no use for the LTE part of the tab, i would just like it to perform a little better !
cheers dom
Unlikely. Hence me saying that the other links I pointed out were your only options.
You can TRY but it's very likely that the tablet won't even boot completely once you do.
I believe this isn't about the simple omission of a modem driver, and that differences go a bit deeper than that (kernel and more). I really have no clue though as I'm not a developer or programmer. All I know is others have tried wifi ROMs on these LTE tabs and failed, and that were it not for devs consciously supporting the LTE tab in the ROMs that I linked earlier we'd still be waiting for a taste of CM9 on our tabs.
you should try romanbb rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1459287
It's updated frequently, and has more working functions than seraphimserapis's rom. However, camera/gps/lte-3g won't work on both ICS roms right now.
ah ok guys thanks for the help!, i think i'll just leave it until there is a better more fully working Rom out ;o)
Hello,
You'll have to excuse my relative anonymity with regards to Android. I've always been a BlackBerry user and I've recently switched to a Note and couldn't be happier, but I know little about ROM's, development and so on.
I've rooted my Note and loaded a Custom ROM - imilka's CyanogenMod9, which has been working fantastically. However, I do miss some of the stock TouchWiz applications like S Memo and S Planner. Also, I'd like to return to Gingerbread and simply wait for the official ICS update from Samsung. Custom ROM's are nice and efficient, but for daily use I'm starting to think a stock ROM might be better for me.
My question is, how can I return to the latest stock ROM of the Note, without losing root or bricking my phone?
Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this has been covered someplace else but I couldn't find it.

Hi everyone,
I'm learning to work with roms, and have chosen lloirs excellent build of slim bean 3.15 on the HTC One V. I was wondering if anyone with post experience of working on jb had any advice on things I could tweak or explore the utilisation of on the rom, not just to make it better but also for a good learning experience. So far I have spent the last few days trying to recompile the SystemUI, but today I found the slim jb-apktool, which i thought would hold the answer :'( but to no avail so far. Any help would be super welcome

Hi,
I'm afraid that the rom here will not be compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Young GTS6310, that is without you porting it over. This could be as simple as changing some permissions and library files, or a lot more complicated. Does the Samsung Galaxy Young GTS6310 already have a JB4.1.2 CyanogenMod 10 rom built for it? If it does that could make things a lot easier for you.

Looks like it becomes real for 5.0 roms (not yet for 4.4 roms) . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61569650&postcount=7184
And for that info you need to create a new thread? Really?
I was forced to go on a stock Samsung ROM for years because of this, I think that it's important to inform people about this ^.^ (and if someone wants to port this on KitKat roms...)
