All you're asking is that one (or more) of us produce a small novel after you post a couple of questions. There's too much information requested.
Surely you have to start somewhere right? Read and understand how to root your Note by dr.ketan. It's a sticky on the dev forum

Upgraded from sgs2 int to gnote also. It's a bit slower than sgs2 but it has so much more pros against it's few cons. If you can get past it's size you'll love it.

Thnx a lot man...is it considerably slower than s2?? I thought it would be faster or atleast same as sgs2...as it has a better cpu....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
The processor has to power through 2.5x the screen resolution of the S2, but my understanding is that ICS helps with any Note sluggishness.
I just returned my ATT Note and should have an International on the doorstep tomorrow. I'm pumped to toy with it.
From what I understand the Note's ICS leak is atrocious compared to the ones for the GS2. However even a buggy ICS leak is better than the antiquated Gingerbread. I couldn't get the Touchwiz ICS roms to work (home button not responsive, no lockscreen) but had great success with AOKP builds.

Not considerably but s2 is snappier, not a deal breaker

Great choice mate. Don't worry, the phone is very fast - especially with AOSP stock ROM, cause let's be straight here - TouchWiz is not the best...some people might like the looks or featurer ( i dont ) but it's very sluggish when compared to stock.
About the phone ? If you're looking for multimedia smartphone/tablet - you couldn't have chosen a better one. Enormous, and quality screen, fast CPU, lots of RAM and storage - and great battery life. You'll be definitely happy with your new phone.
And take a look at Imilka's ASOP ICS ROM - it really makes the Note amazing.
Hey guys. I'm thinking of getting a note tomorrow. I'm coming from the galaxy s plus. What do you guys think? Is it a good phone? Do you recommend it to me?

My friend, I think you should have asked this question before ordering it and may be read a thread discussing Galaxy Note issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728974
Anyway, if you're after the big display, you won't regret. And be sure to read all the stickies and guides before trying to flash anything
I enjoy mine very much and I hope you'll be happy with yours as well!
p.s. If you purchase a case, make sure it's a "magnet free" one - many users (incl. myself) complained of S-pen interference from the magnet of the case.

Agree! You shouldn't get it.. tommorrow.

Should't even think of trying the Note.
1. The real big screen will make your eyes taking more time in looking around it.
2. Its vividness will hurt your eyes.
3. You will not be welcome by stationery shop just because of the S-pen.
4. USB drive connecting ability allow you too much flexibility. This may force you to even carry a mouse everywhere with you just for doing something requiring such high precision on the Note.
5. It may waste lots of your times playing high-end HD games due to its too much CPU power.
Don't go for the Note please ^^

I think I need to sell mine today, if it's this bad!
To the OP: Do read all the stickies as somebody already said. Flashing is NOT hard on the note, it just requires you to know what you are doing; once you read all the stickies carefully and thoroughly, am quite sure you would know what to flash, what not to and how to flash. Cheers!

Is it too different than flashing other phones?
Like, flash a recovery then copy zip and apply update?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA Premium HD app
the principal is the same yes, But however there is a major bug in the stock ICS kernel(s) can that cause hardbrick (brickbug) when doing a factory reset.
So long as you flash a safe kernel before hand you will be fine, Just read the guides and if you have any issues / questions, dont be afraid to ask.
Also check my Signature for real time IRC chat.
It's confirmed. Will get mine today after work. Got it for about 400 dollars, on my carrier points program.
The only problem I may have will be with kernels?

There's some stickys in development section:
Dr ketans to do with flashing stock roms, and a separate one for rooting and installing cwm.
Another on the superbrick or emmc bug affecting most ics kernels. Includes information on safe kernels that have had emmc format bug removed.
Those are the main ones to get you started.

I played with mine non stop for a whole weekend when I got it, its a great phone. Don't be too put off by the superbrick bug either. There are plenty of safe kernels and some awesome custom roms.
Stock ics is kind of a let down at the moment, but I'm sure it'll be on par within a few updates.

Paranoid on this beast is awesome. If you go for paranoid, I'd recommend using v0.2a rather than 0.3, there's a couple of issues with gps and mms on 0.3. Imilka (the dev has said he's working on an update and he's usually pretty sharpish so think 0.4 will be out v soon.

My note is Thailand version. There's nothing to be worried as long as you're not running yourself into hacking stuffs though I did once and even I did the famous frightening FactoryReset! when I was on Rooted Stock ICS after stuck in booting loops because of playing with VM Heap size tweak (set it below 64m will trigger this, so be careful).
I survive the night and day because of lots sharing in this forum. I learned how to do flashing ROM with Odin and other fearful stuffs I've never even though I would have need to get through it.
So, I recommend you just try using it, as it is first since pre-installed ICS may have something different, with 3 to 5 days/full recharge cycles and then let see any of what will be bothering you.
To have 14+ hours battery life on my Note with normal use (3G/Wifi all times, note taking, Facebook..etc..and of course the XDA app) running stock ICS, I did;
- Rooted
- Battery calibration
- SetCPU profiles
- Leave the SD Card slot empty
- Off auto screen brightness
- Manually control screen brightness, 30% to minimum values are good enough to my eyes
- OFF auto Hovering pen icon (ON only when I really need)
- OFF Screen Capture service (ON only when I really need)
- Freeze un-needed services
It's hard to identify which tweak saves how much % battery life, there are just cumulative tricks from my little experience. Lots of last tweaks are done by TB.

CM is an acquired taste, it's not for everybody.
advantages are that it's light and practical with some excellent options, I like the sense camera to much to stay on CM for too long, but I always try it out .

Very early days but I am running the latest nightly and apart from some niggly performance issues (fixed in the next nightly) it is running very well on my phone and the camera is ok but yeah the sense camera is much better.

Haven't changed the DPI no, and very impressed with stability of the build I have had pretty much no crashes at all. However there are some performance issues, FPS is much lower than in sense based ROMs in a number of games, hopefully should be addressed in the next few nightlies.
Audio is of good quality if perhaps slightly quieter out of speakers than on sense. Some random dipping of volume though listening to sound through headphones

There is a great deal of development for the HTC One definitely! CM is always my personal preference but as you say it's just preference, if you like the look and feel of sense then at the moment that has better performance than AOSP builds anyway

Does...anyone like the AOSP camera?
I got the One for its camera mostly and body 2nd. Because 2 years down the road, when other iterations are released this camera will still be king of the hill.
The AOSP camera is good but it still has a few bugs atm and obviously it can't take full advantage of the image processing chip on the one.

CM chews the battery until it's well developed on a device. Plus you'll lose the HTC Camera app, HTC Zoe etc....that alone is enough to put me off.

Even Release Candidates CM's have always had a devastating effect on the battery of all my galaxy phones ( S, S3, S3 and Note 2) , from what i understand it was down to the proper samsung drivers not not being available to use with CM, is this the case with HTC too ? do other HTC phone CM roms have similar battery lift to the stock Roms?

There isn't much difference in performance with the s2 compared to the s1. The main difference is that games run smoother and that apps open slightly faster. Ui performance is practically identical.
Also audio quality in the s1 is much better than the s2 but that doesn't bother me that much.

Well, CM10.1 will never be fully "Stable" until samsung releases the code source for the S2 however it is still extremely stable, it just cannot be officially called stable. I've never had issues with it and no-one really does as well (only the people that **** something up in their system do) but it cannot be called "Stable" by CM until the source is released. Stock samsung (4.1.2) is extremely fast, nice and smooth. They really have improved their stock firmwares and the good thing is that the S2 will get official 4.2.2. (sometime in the future)
There is also another issue that the s2 has and that is that the RIL crashes sometimes on 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 (I've never had it but others have) and it won't be fixed till official 4.2.2 from samsung is released however, using Dorimanx kernel prevents this from happening.
I think that you should get it, just install CM10.1 and Dorimanx kernel and you will see how fast it is compared to the S1.

Im now on Omega v3.1 from indie. But i dont know if Custom Roms are better, worse or actually the same in battery life?
I always flash a rom, check it out for about a day, and if im dissapointed i flash another. But last week i heard a thing that if you let the Rom settle for a week or so, the battery life gets better and better?
Can someone help me out a bit Thanks!!!:cyclops:

never really cared for "settleing" the phone but i have noticed if you keep using the rom/kernel combo for a while battery does get better..however most ppl here dont use roms for long so from my experience the first 2 to 3 full cycles are enough to see how the rom is performing

not necessarily.. i have seen ppl get better battery life on stock kernels and also so seen ppl get other get better battery on custom kernels so "better" is always subjective cuz no 2 phones are alike, so everyone will get different results
