What's the most vanilla ICS rom for Note?

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!

Thank you for the suggestion.
Do I need to flash a modded kernel for that rom?
Or does it work stable and fast with stock GB kernel?
Cheers!

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 install it from ics if you want.
download Abyss Kernel 4.2
copy Kernel and PA Rom and Gapps Files to your internal SDCard
boot into Recovery
Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2
boot back in Recovery (to find under "advanced")
Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under "advanced")
Flash PA Rom
Flash GAPPS
reboot system

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 I install a custom Rom, either PA or CM9, can the note be reverted back to full stock? Recovery, kernel and Rom?
I am on stock is 4.0.3. What's the best procedure to install CM9 nightly?

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.

Fusion 3.9 WIFI Problem

Hello,
Where can I find the amendment of besttt to 3.9? Is it safe now and the WIFI works together with the moduls and repair? Since a week ago I tried the -3.9 and-WIFI did not work, the WIFI worked for me but only version 3.6 ...
I'm with AOKP KXP BUILD 5
Also, if I try again to install the transition from -3.6 -3.9 - Must do again the whole process of the WIPE? Because it is somewhat problematic to me, can I just do the fastboot kernel and that's it?

With Fusion's Kernels you need to flash boot kernel, install ROM, install gapps (if you use gapps) then last of all the WiFi modules that came with the Rom. Fusion has a newer more stable kernel if that helps 4.0

You don't need to install ROM again, if you install kernel.

[Q] Bluetooth Streaming with Cyanogenmod 10.1 - short breaks

Hi guys,
I use Cyanogenmod 10.1 shortly after I bought my Nexus 10 and had these reboots the whole time.
Usually I update once or twice a week to the current nightlys (depending on the changelog).
A problem I have from the beginning (with CM): When I stream music with Google Music to a Logitech Bluetooth receiver it works. But every 20-30 seconds I have a litte break in the playback. On my Galaxy S2 also with CM 10.1 I never had this problem.
What I did to solve the problem. Today I installed the stock Nexus 10 4.2.2 from Google and tried to reproduce the error. It worked fine. No problem at all.
Then I completely wiped the Nexus 10 again and installed the current nightly - from the scratch. Just installed Google Music and did a test. The same bluetooth problem again.
Ah and when I use a bluetooth keyboard the keyboard also loses connection time and again. Here the problem is even worse. When I´m are in web form the page gets reloaded and all I entered so far is gone...
Has anybody an idea?
I´m willing to give you all the information you need to help me (logcats etc.)
Thanks in advance
Marrtin

Hi and thanks for you answer.
Good idea. But I have no clue how to do that? And isnt´t the kernel always overwritten when I install a nightly of CM10.1?

Hmm - and where can I get the stock kernel from? Off course I found the whole stock firmware. But just the kernel out of it? And does this work together with CM?

Please make a bug report @ jira.CyanogenMod.org

I don't think you can pull just the kernel out of it... I use KTManta myself.

You can. :good:
If you download and unzip the official rom package from google, you will find another zip inside. Extract that, and you will see a different rom for each partition of your nexus 10. boot.img is the kernel, and it can be flashed from fastboot using command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Thanks,
EDIT: If the KTManta kernel doesn't suffer bluetooth streaming issues for anyone else, flashing it instead of stock should serve as an equally good test. The original reason I mentioned flashing the stock kernel is because I too have seen bluetooth streaming issues, both with CM10 and when using the stock rom with franko r12 kernel. I'm now running completely stock rom and kernel, and have no issues.

If I switch back to CM, I'l be sure to test it. I'm currently in the process of deciding just how much I love "CRT Off", which I don't know if CM has added yet

Is there a solution for this stuttering problem? I have tried many roms and kernels, but bluetooth stutters when wifi is on.

I have tried out, Paranoid Android, AOKP, Omni and CM 11. So far Mahdi ROM is the most stable 4.4 rom out for the G2.
He contribute so fast, and bugs are fixed very fast. The ROM got OTA updates now awesell.
Go and check it out!

Thanks for the suggestion but the thing is I am new in these advanced android stuffs. So i would prefer to choose from the renowned rom makers. So far I only found my device d802 listed in cyanogenmod and aokp's website. So which one should I choose from these two?
And i should get the latest nightly build right? (as in today's one)

I would recommend the latest SNAPSHOT cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-d802.zip since it's a bit more stable then the nightlys.
And if you go for nightly, always check the CM 11 Official thread before upgrading the nightlys to see if some people have any big issues.
But like i said, I would recommend you to take the latest SNAPSHOP.
Cheers!

I would recommend, take advance wipe in twrp and check: Dalvik Cache + System + Data + Cache and you will be fine!
Much better to be on the safe side and do a real cleaning before flashing a ROM.

[DISCUSSION] What Rom are you using & what is your experience with it.

Hello to this great community.
As the title says what is your experience with the Rom+ kernel you are using? Battery life, stability etc
This is not about asking what the best Rom is (something that doesn't exist) but about sharing our configurations (roms kernel other tweaks) and how it works for us:
Roms
Kernels
Mods (xposed modules etc)
And the experience we had with those.
A disclaimer: There is no best Rom !!
Discuss only the set ups you have on your Moto G! [emoji6]

Omni, the feature are great, i'm using xperience kernel. A new build Omni from squadzone doesn't goto deepsleep while you turn off your phone, it drain my battery.

I'm using this unofficial rom. Boringly, it just works for me. No issues.
No mods - just the wallpaper changed I think. Since we all use our devices in slightly different ways,...your experience with the same rom may be different from mine.

Mine is something like:
Stock 4.4.4 no root because I don't want to lose my warranty from now.
Coming from a LG 2x this one is super fluid and fast but unlocking the bootloader is such a pain.

Im using Stock 4.4.3 with Aero Kernel! Great battery life and performance!

If you have unlocked your Moto G's bootloader, the manufacter's voluntary warranty is already gone, isn't it?

Assuming this is not a specific problem with the nightly: Did you ever use GPS successfully on stock rom before? On a different CM11 before? If not, then:
- ensure you have latest recovery,
- make nandroid of your CM11 rom,
- flash or restore stock rom
- use gps in stock rom
- restore your CM11 nandroid
GPS should now work. It did for me.

Glad it worked for you.

Spirit ROM. Tons of feature and look nice with dark environment. Support dual sim too.

Xperia Rom v2.5..looks beautiful, everything works great for me.

I want something simple and stable with wifi working and not draining battery... is XPerience 8.0.0M10 good for this? or any other?

i just got the xt1031 (boost mobile) 8gb version. i am so happy to see development on here but i do worry about the storage. does the root and roms take up? i and how can i maximize space? i know on previous phones i always had a 32gb memory card so i was never worried bout that but with this one i am lol. any help would be appreciated

I like C-ROM, bis stable, fast, smooth but have three problems, the GPS didnt work, the long boot, sometimes take 10min to restart and the CPU Min and Max bug. All this in the last version 7.1
I have tried others like DU, AOSB but have basically the same problems.
Is any ROM more stable that this?

thx, currently I'm on XPerience 8.0.0 M10 kernel with custom CM11 ROM and it's working fine... Today, I was watching 2 hours of youtube videos, 5 hours of screen, wifi on for 15hours now and still have 40% battery... so that's exactly what I wanted (but has some bugs and sometimes something FC, but then you open that again and it's working but thx, if I will go sometimes to another ROM, I will try crDroid first
