Newb question that I couldn't find the answer to.
Since CyanogenMod is AOSP and Stock is Sense:
Does the current version of CyanogenMod (v7.x) download files contain changes to the kernal?
If not, will Cyanogen v7.x run stable with the Stock HTC kernal?
I want to try out Cyanogen v7 but due to work I need to be able to flip back to Stock rooted for stability if needed. I just want to know if I'll need to worry about flashing the kernal too when flipping back and forth.
Thanks....
Any ROM comes packaged with an appropriate kernel once flashed. There are alternatives but the stock Cyanogen kernel is pretty boss on its own.
Yes cm7 contains its own aosp kernel.
No sense kernels will not work on aosp roms.
Every rom comes with its correct kernel.no need to flash one unless you want to.

Thanks for the reply.
Will be giving the latest cyanogen RC a try tonight.
And, as I just read, the Nand backup covers the kernal, I wont have to worry about separatly flashing the kernal back to stock if I need to restore.
Somewhere I got the idea that the ROM and Kernal were separate flashes.
Thanks....
Not sure about anyone else, but cyanogenmod included kernel for me has been pretty much 100% stable for me. I didn't get any restarts until I started flashing other kernals and some mods.
Yesterday i got an Iconia A500, first thing i did was, of course, to root it and install cwm recovery.
Now i want to flash a new rom but i don't have much time to try all roms and decide which one is the best.
So i decided to take a shortcut with this poll.
Here we go guys...
Which rom do you believe it's the best for Iconia?
Feel free to write comments for your decision. And thank you all for your time.
You missed off the Stock option.
I've tried all those custom ones, and they all have issues which Stock doesn't.
Plus, which one is "best" is purely subjective. All your poll will tell you is which one people use MOST, which doesn't necessarily make it the best.
Taboonay
imho

I hear you or better read you mate and I know that the word "best" doesn't actually represent what I need but I will get an idea.
Can you please explain the issues the custom roms have? Cause I use custom roms since my first windows smartphone 3 years ago and I must say that I love custom roms.
yeah, you should probably add 'stock' and 'lightspeed' as the latter is gaining traction. i'm using stock rooted for now.

I didn't add stock because i like the extras on the custom roms. As for lightspped it has too many apk's removed for my taste.
I have had my a500 for a month and I think I have tried every ROM except for the minimalist (or whatever it is now called). In general I have found the roms that are based on the stock rom are the best (taboonay, honeyvillain). Taboonay is cool because the developer, Vache, makes available a kitchen UI that is web based so you can modify the ROM and add/remove items. Very cool.
I used Primee which is a build of the Transformer rom for the first two weeks I had the device and I really liked it but there was some sort of dispute over kernel source which I don't come close to understanding and the developer took his toys and went home. He continues to build and support the rom on his own site but I like ROMs to have the visibility of XDA for support.
I tried all of the virtuous roms and it is cool to see roms from other devices but it always seems like there is some little tweak or lag that drives me crazy. Virtuous Galaxy is by far the slickest looking rom IMO. Dare I say that Samsung is almost Apple-like in their UI design (I mean that as a compliment I think).
Right now I am running Taboonay 1.1 with richardtrip's OC kernel and it is silky smooth. It is almost disappointing to have a ROM work so well because as an early Android adopter (HTC Magic), I sort of enjoy the journey more than the destination. Luckily, there is and always will be new ROMs to try.

By excluding ROMs that don't represent what you actually need, you render the whole poll null and void. For all you know, a ROM you left off could well be the most popular!
As for problems, it's things like camera not working properly, or rotation lock not working, or differences in how the external SD card is mounted, or random reboots, or preinstalled games from the stock ROM either missing or not working if you install them etc. All fairly minor things, but I like all the parts on my tab to work as they were meant to work. That's why I run a stock ROM, but use RichardTrips OC'd kernel (which is near to stock).

Well it's a bit more complex than that, you also have to take into consideration (along with it being subjective) the fact that the results are only coming from people who like vote in polls
So strictly the thread title should be: Best custom rom - results based only on people who like to vote in polls
PS I did not vote - but currently using dexters new primee 3.2
MJ-12
I am using Virtuous Galaxy 1.04 ROM; the only issue is not being able to seek in the You Tube app; other than that it's a fast ROM.
My two favorite are not even on there. Lightspeed and Minimal. I like Lightspeed as I can use a custom kernel and clock the tablet to 1.6GHz. I like Minimal as it's a very well done rom without bloat. These are the only two I like better than stock. I've tried many of the others, but only those above have really been worth it for me.
can anyone reply me i am using taboonay and still not able to play HD movies on my TAb
i am not talking about 1080 but 720 MKV's still not working which is simply playable on my galaxy S

Please suggest me Custom rom regarding this.

The best problem free for me is stock 3.1 and loving it, love the others but toooo many problems.
primee. 9-5a all the way. You can find it on tabletroms.com, and is by far the most stable, well built roms to date, with all the features of the transformer Rom but a hybrid base file system with a lot from the stock Iconia for compatibility
My comparison of 4 ROMS. Like Taboonay 2.1 the best.
I have flashed 4 different ROMS since I purchased my Iconia a500. Here is my take on the pros and cons.
• The first one I tried was Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0 [HC 3.1]. Super fast and had no problems, but I didn’t like the fact that it wasn’t based on an ACER build and there was no way to add the Acer stock games to the ROM. This ROM had the highest Quadrant score out of all the ROMs I tried. It’s discontinued, so there will be no more updates.
• The second one I tried was Honeyvillian 1.05 [HC 3.1]. Good speed, very reliable, and I was able to add the Acer stock games back to the ROM and flash an overclock kernel. The ROM was based on an ACER build, so all the stock software was included. I like some of the ACER stock software, but some of it I could live without. I was reluctant to upgrade to Honeyvillian 1.1 which is a Honeycomb 3.2 ROM because it was based on the a501 OTA update and not the a500 OTA update, and I decided to hold out for a Honeycomb 3.2 Rom that was based on the OTA update for the a500.
• The third ROM I tried was Acer_A500 OTA 7.006.01 [HC 3.2] Rooted w/ Busybox for CWR [Sep 17th, 2011] by ezterry. This ROM was very near stock but rooted. I was able to Flash the adhoc fix and set ro.carrier=wifi-only. It uses the default Acer kernel but I was able to flash an overclock kernel. The ROM was very smooth and had no problems. A great ROM if you want to stay very close to stock and like all the stock ACER software.
• The forth ROM I tried was Taboonay 2.1 [HC 3.2]. I decided to try this ROM because it is based on the a500 OTA 3.2 Honeycomb update for a500 users and the a501 OTA 3.2 update for a501 users. The ROM has all the Acer stock software removed, but you can use the online kitchen to add just the Acer apps and games you want and skip the ones you don’t want. Plus the games get installed to the data partition so they don’t take up room in the ROM it self, and they can be uninstalled. You can also use the online kitchen to install a few other goodies like themes and bootup animations. It has an overclock kernel built in and ro.carrier=wifi-only is set by default for a500 users. So far the speed is great. The only issue I have is that the screen sometimes turns off and on for a second when it sleeps on its own. If I put it to sleep by clicking the power button, the problem doesn’t occur. So far this is my favorite ROM because I get the benefits of Honeycomb 3.2 and I can pick the stock Acer apps I want. GREAT ROM!!! I think I will stay with this one for a while.
Hope this helps some of you that are doing your initial research on picking your first ROM.
Total noob question. I don't mind the stock rom but I would like to overclock. Is it possible to just keep stock rom but still use a kernel like tripps? Also, when 3.2 finally goes ota here in the states, do I need to put everything back to stock (netflix patch as an example) before I update as to not brick my device? Thanks for the help

RichardTrips kernel works fine with stock.
Regarding 3.2, if you take the FOTA, you will lose root, you will lose CWM, and you will lose the ability to flash custom ROMs and kernels. It has a new bootloader that hasn't been broken yet and so far, can't be rooted unless its done pre-flashing.
There's a modded version of the 3.2 stock in the dev section that doesn't do all this, from ezterry.
so do you recommend just flashing a custom rom that already has 3.2? also, what benefits should I see using trips kernal over the stock one? Lastly, can someone post a link to the trip kernel that I should download. Did a search and couldn't find it. Thanks
Yes.
Flash the ROM by ezterry. It's based on the 3.2 update but rooted. It is very near stock, but you can flash an OC kernel.
Hello!, I would like put rom, but in stock kernel, don't custom kernel.
I have GingerDX
There are more roms?
Thanks you very much!
All Froyo ROMs, and all GingerDX based ones. There was a try to get ICS to stock, but it won't be fully functional.
There is a huge list.
Visit the Android Development section for ROMS for stock kernel.
Thanks.
Atifloyo is good?
Hey guys recently died almost waiting for the Ics to come to my version of note. But then learned that I can change the region coffee and download the ics update. So I did and now running ics 4.0.3
Now I want to use a nifty ROM. However the thing is I read that there is a new bricking bug. I'm not quite sure what its affected or what to avoid.
I was looking at king Droid v2 but anyone got any suggestion about ROM to use the fullest capabilities and the s pen functions.
Also anyone could give me a guide to what to do to install the ROM from the ics 4.0.3
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Every custom ROM user will give you a different view as to which is the best one to choose.
You have two basic options - a Samsung based rom (with Touchwiz) or an AOSP based rom (based on standard ICS).
Be careful about the bricking bug. If you are rooted (which you will have to be) on a Samsung based ICS kernel, do not do any wipes, formats or flashes (unless it is one of the 'safe' modified kernels). You must always flash a gingerbread kernel (abyss 4.2 red is the current one of choice) before flashing ics.
If that doesn't mean anything to you, you really need to do quite a lot of reading of the stickies so you can learn the detailed procedures but, more importantly, can learn the risks so you know how to avoid them.

Hello,
How are you?
I am a bit tired of Touchwiz and some lag on the phone, so I would like to switch ROMS.
So, I was wondering what is the most pure vanilla ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the Note, wich is stable and has the fewest know issues?
I am sorry for this thread, but there are so many roms developed that it is really hard to choose.
CHeers and thanks!

Well, Paranoid Android is a fantastic ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note, as it offers a near-ICS experience that allows for both tablet and phone modes. Try it out!

For an ICS ROM you need to use an ICS kernel. But Paranoid comes packaged with the kernel. By the sound of it you are on GB at the moment. If it's already rooted, do a full wipe then flash Paranoid and the GApps package from the same thread.
If you are already on ICS, do not do full wipe until you have read up on how to do it.

Any downsides to this ROM?
I am currently on stock Note, with ICS 4.0.3 and stock kernel. Not rooted.
Would a kernel like Speedmod work better with the nightly rom? Or is a stock GB kernel better?
Whichever rom I choose, I need to use PC Odin to revert to GB before flashing anything, right?
Cheers and thanks!
Why would anyone use cm9 If Paranoid Android is the same with much more features..
You cant use any tw kernels like speedmod. Cm9 need cm9 kernels
can i install Paranoid Android from ICS through Abyss 4.2 kernel ?
i want the safe steps to install ...........

You can use modded kernels with PA, but only cm based ones like AniDroid/bbq etc.. and not the touchwiz ones like speedmod/franco.
To install, follow what the post above says, or as you mentioned use Odin to go back to gb, root/install cwm, full wipe then install Paranoid Android.

As stated above cm9 only uses cm9 based kernel, you don't have to worry about that, it will install itself when you flash the ROM.

Because not everyone like tablet mod, I've tried PA but returned to cm9 because the phone UI is more suitable for the note .
And then there is the faster update cycle of cm9.

Just my two cents: I found PA to be super buggy in comparison to CM9, the boot splash didn't fit the screen and the UI lagged a lot more, some of the apps were great in tablet mode, but CM9 feels overall far more suited to the Note.

If you want a true Vanilla experience install the 4.04 Stock Rom, you will find the there are now a lot of people using it, it is stable, fast and the battery life has improved. There is a large difference between 4.03 and 4.04 official ROMS.
I have been using it since it came out and I find that it beats everything else I have tried. On the down side the 4.04 kernel still contains the EMMC Bug so I cannot do a full wipe without reverting back to GB.
