The latest Gingerbread is XXLC2. Yes, you can flash an ICS Rom, but I'd wait a bit if I were you. You need to learn quite a bit before being able to cope with Beta ICS Roms.

First you need to flash an older Rom so you can successfully root it. THis is how it's done:

There are ways to improve your Note's performance without root, yes. But you won't be able to significantly improve it. Too much bloatware in stock Roms that you cannot successfully remove.

Thanks
Thanks so much for the reply, but i m on 2.36 already, do i need to flash?

I suggest you to stay on LB3 and wait for Official ICS to release. however ICS AOSP ROMs are available Here . Before you flash any AOSP ICS ROM you need to root your device and other all details are available on above linked Development page.

But my phone's model is N7000B, will that affect?

Well, I think flashing ROMs these days is pretty easy. I am no expert but I've had no problems with flashing different ROMs as such and I flash new ROM every week or two. I am currently using Imilka's AOSP, which is generally pure ICS Android. Before this I was using CheckROM HD, great battery life and performance, based on GB.
GB ROMs are a bit easier to flash and have better performance and stability than all these ICS ROMs (apart from Imilka's AOSP, I find it just too good).
Open up the Android Development section for Note, read a few threads thoroughly, decide your ROM and go for it.
Rooting instructions are very well explained by Dr Ketan in his threads. You can't go wrong about it.
To summarize:
1. Flash an older rootable GB ROM through PC Odin.
2. Install ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM). See Dr Ketan's guide.
3. (OPTIONAL) Install Titanium Backup and backup all your apps and their data. (Use batch operations)
4. Boot up into CWM, scroll to backup/restore and create a backup of your current ROM. This is a VERY VERY IMPORTANT step. Just in case anything goes wrong or you're not happy with your new ROM, you can go back to your older, original GB ROM with all your data and settings intact.
5. Choose your ROM.
6. Read it's thread thoroughly, especially the installation instructions. Do just like the creator says. If there's a video, follow it!
7. (OPTIONAL) Restore your data through TB.
8. Enjoy your new ROM.

Is possible have oficial CM in 4.4 for Note 2 ?

Samsung will upgrade to 4.4
I wonder if this makes possible an official update from Cyanogen team, as the official ROMs from Cyanogen stopped in 4.3
Does anyone have any idea if we still upgrade the CM?
Thanks for attention.

There is unofficial 4.4 CM for Note 2 runs good
Check out OmniROM 4.4 and SlimKat 4.4
Not much difference between those 3 Roms anyways don't worry about CM

Flashing is easy
After you root and install custom recovery, all you have to do is download the ROM and transfer it to your SD card
Enter recovery, wipe dalvik cache, cache and data, find the ROM ZIP file, and flash!
The only way to soft brick your phone is to flash the LTE version of the rom or to flash rom without wiping cache and data
I personally do a full wipe (dalvik, data, system, internal storage , cache)

The simple answer is--if you want to avoid any unnecessary problems--upgrade the Bootloader to MJ5--don't go to a more recent version if you think that you might ever want to downgrade to a 4.1.2 ROM. Personally, I think that this is unlikely since 4.3 is a better option than 4.1.2, and it follows that 4.4.2 is an improvement on 4.3.
I am still on MJ5 but mainly due to issues with KNOX in later Bootloaders.
One day I will upgrade--but maybe, by then, some amazing Dev will have figured out a work around for Samsung's dumb KNOX.
If you are moving up from 4.3 to 4.4.2 then Philz 5.15.0 is not suitable--you should upgrade Philz to 6.19.3, or 6.25.0 [ or even 6.15.4]--some ROMs require unticking the option to Update the Binary in Philz--therefore a lot of folks prefer to go with a recent edition of TWRP. 2.6.3.2, or 2.7.0.0

My query is something similar:
I have been facing a peculiar issue of not being able to restore my backups in recovery (tried with backups in internal as well as external sd). Right now, am using stock pre-rooted MKD by dr. Ketan topped up with mod project V3.5 by tamirda and dr.Ketan. The recovery is Philz Touch 5 CWM base Version: v6.0.3.7, Build version: 5.15.0-n710x-i317M-T889.
Not being able to restore creates innumerable problems and have to begin flashing a rom from scratch. Today, I realised that my bootloader is DMG1 (attaching a screenshot). Does this has anything to do with my problem? And further, since am going to flash pre-rooted kitkat, should I change my bootloader, and if yes, to which version?
I originally posed this query to dr. ketan but since he is busy with the kitkat rom for all of us, any help from anyone would be heartily appreciated.
regards,
Durgesh

Most of what I wrote above applies to your case--upgrade Bootloader using ODIN and Bootloader Tar file, don't use Philz 5.15.0, but one of the later versions.
As I say--the more recent Bootloaders are fine, in fact desirable, if you are not worried about Samsung Warranty issues--if your phone is out of Warranty--because they will trip the counter in Download Mode--the only suitable Bootloader that does not trip the counter is MJ5--and this works fine with KitKat.
On an older Bootloader some folks have no problems--but others have all sorts of issues--yours could be an example of this.
I can't guarantee that your backup issue will get fixed but certainly making a good Nandroid with a suitable version of Philz or TWRP gives a greater chance of a satisfactory Restore.

[Q] Problem after flash kernel

Hi Guys,
As you can see, I am new to this site. My phone is S4 19505. Yesterday, I tried to root my phone and that was a succes. Problem began when I want to install kernel for longer battery life. I have installed kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 and I have chosen Touchwiz KitKat 4.4 version. After I flashed this kernel my s4 is not starting. It just stuck at first screen "where we get first white letters samsung galaxy s4".
I have no idea what to do now.
Can anyone please help me?
Advance thanks.

twrp. I dont know what you mean by stock rom because this is my first time I did. My device is running 4.4.2. and I chose for kernel 4.4 version of tw.

I think that you have to re-flash a new rom. Then, you have to retry installing root and the kernel.

I agree with msmlz, if you have nandroid restore it or download the firmware in sammobile and reflash it and before flashing the custom kernel again, read the thread, see if someone face bootloop like you. Hope someone with experience on it could help you, I never install custom kernel, just update the last stock kernel on my rooted stock rom.

What to do next after Cyanogenmod?

Hi I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on Cyanogenmod M11, Was on UK VOD stock but moved to Cyanogenmod which is still on 4.4.4 KitKat but I'm a bit worried about future development of CGM. I read about tussles with other companies and big aspirations for M12 but the regular updates I've been enjoying have died out. not even a lollipop stable yet, I'm beginning to lose hope.
I know I shouldn't be so skeptical but I want to explore other roots (no pun intended).
Currently which rom would provide me with a stable lollipop with regular OTA updates for future proofing my phone?
Thanks v much
Alternatively I guess I could go back to stock to get lollipop but haven't done it in a while Im guessing I just flash a stock image via odin

Those tensions don't really affect Cyanogenmod, though I understand your concern. However, the biggest issue you're going to have is that most - if not all - custom ROMs are built using Cyanogenmod as a base. Realistically, the only alternative available I can think of without going to Touchwiz is Danvdh/Kryten's GPE ROM. Going back to Touchwiz is a dead end. Samsung has stated that Android 5.x is the end of the line for the S4, meaning there will be no Android M unless using a custom ROM.

Thanks very much for the excellent advice. I will give Danvdh/Kryten's GPE ROM a go and see how I go. I'm going to post the link to the ROM thread if anyone is following the same route as me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
EDIT: I'm going to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934 first as its CM 12 lollipop which is what I was looking for really but will try GPE if i dont like that rom
Another question... sorry: i currently have CWM on my phone but the CM rom says to use TWRP with F2FS does cwm have this or do i need to remove CWM and install TWRP?

Don't use that version of CM. It's not what you want because it's not updated anymore.
Use this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696
or the Official nightlies.

I used the older one but realised too late (
got stuck with no gapps and the bloody thing wouldnt boot into recovery cwm or twrp :/ never had that before. so having to do stock flash It's failed twice LOL
EDIT: got it stocked well thats something at least. anyway tomorrow I'll try again and get TWRP on there properly, it was weird because cyanogemod had installed CWM on there before i couldnt get rid of it :/ so i ended up with no recovery manager doh! Thanks for the link Lenny
