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.
Hey guys, I'm new here.Soon my new Nexus4 will arrive and i have some questions about installing cyanogenmod.
1.Can I install cyanogenmod with the new cm installer on this device??
2.If this is possible and i install cyanogenmod, how do i update the version if a newer one is released ??
3.I red that the cm intaller install a custom recovery too, if i dont like the cyanogen mod can i install other roms or i must do something before ??
4.If i use this cm installer i know that i will lose my warranty, am i right ?? And if yes, is there any posiblity to restore the phone to original state (i mean lock back the bootloader and others) ?
Thanks
On the same page of this forum is a Cyanogenmod Q & A thread, I would start there and READ.

I prefer installing ROMs through a custom recovery because you can unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery without disturbing the phone's existing ROM.

1) Yes
2) In Settings there will be an update option, you can also flash ZIP by downloading them from (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=mako)
3) Yes, you can install other ROMS and gapps from recovery.
4) Yes, you can use google's stock images to restore your phone to original state.

Not actually, you need to flash it via fastboot after installing device drivers from your computer. Which is a small tool that comes with Android SDK. (You can find it everywhere)
But I am sure there are flashable recovery ZIPs for stock ROMs on this forum.

Here's a link to WUG's toolkit that can help with your Nexus 4: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Being that you're a noob (just like me) you may want to try flashing things with the android SDK instead of a toolkit (not saying it's bad, I've actually never used it). I just started messing with my nexus 4 using the SDK and some of the write ups here and found them really helpful and I learned a lot. Then again, if you consider yourself computer illiterate (not saying you are, your choice) you may WANT to use the toolkit. Just my .02.

By using that CM installer to unlock bootloadder and install cwm and cyanogenmod, is there any change to brick the device or any incompatiblities ?? Just take the phone out of box install that CM app on the phone and on the pc and start ??
Edit: The app is no more in playstore, from where can i take that official app ??
You can take it from get.cm

You can download app as an apk file from their site: http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install
It is a Nexus device, so it is hard to brick it.
I have been using custom ROMS from first day I bought the device and I haven't got a problem. As I said you can revert back to stock ROM or just try another ROM.
No one can warrant you that everything will work and there is always a chance of brick, but not too much if you do everything right.
so just update to latest official version of kitkat and then i use that cm installer without anything to do before like root or unlock bootloader ?
I have a D801 (Tmobile G2) and I’ve been running CM11 on it for over a year.
Now that we have lollipop, I want to upgrade to a ROM based on the official Lollipop release, (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g2/development/rom-tmo-lp-extreme-v1-0-4-16-15-t3084681)
Ofcourse I’m rooted and have a custom recovery installed, specifically ClockworkModv6.0.5.0/Philz Touch 6.48.4)
Can anyone please guide me on how to install the Lollipop ROM mentioned above. I’m thinking the first step would be to update my recovery to a TWRP recovery…. How do I do that?

And then I just flash the Lollipop based rom? Even though I'm on CM11 (kitkat)?

That depends, you might need the latest bootstack for the new CAF-based roms, but not everyone seems to agree. I would flash it anyway though, this would prevent any issues like sound bugs and anything else you might find.

I am looking for a TWRP flashable stock 10j rom, complete stock or close to that. Is there anything like that.
I don't care about modding much, just need a reliable rooted rom.
I tried a few different roms in the last few days, and all were having issues one way or another.
Stock rom is always is the most stable one.
I could use LGUP to go back to complete stock and then root again, just trying to save the trouble again.
I second this request. Having a hard time finding a ROM without something important broken.

Stock is definitely a solid choice in terms of stability. NotSoStock is close to stock but has kernel tweaks. Some of the others seem to have stock kernel but full of other audio/visual enhancements.
You could try the stock deodex debloated rom which is going to be as close to stock as you will get.

stock deodex debloated rom was never updated to 10j, that's the problem. It's still in 10d version.

thought it was at least 10i. Any chance you know if there is documentation around about the changes through these versions? I haven't yet checked for those changes and actually still searching for good rom myself. I'm not a fan of the ones that can't use second screen at all.

On all the stock roms you can use the second screen. OvrDrive, WETA, NotSoStock.... they are all good roms, just too much modification for my liking.
I would be happy if I could use a simple rooted stock rom with a custom kernel.
Has there been any change to this? I'm still looking for a stock TWRP flashable copy of 10j for the H918.
I made a twrp flashable stock 10j rom about a week ago. I did it for the same reasons you mentioned. It's not rooted, but I just flash magisk right after it. I'll try to upload it to mega tonight. It's not tested but it works fine for me.

Hey guys, im having trouble finding a stock version of android 4.4 KitKat for my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (sm-g530t variant) because im trying to get pretty much any version of LineageOS thats Marshmallow and above, but they all require me to have 4.4 kitkat installed, and i simply cannot find it ANYWHERE. if anyone out there can provide me a link, or send me a link to like google drive with a backup of a freshly stock factory reset backup? Just something please, im getting quite desperate as i cannot afford a new phone, but 5.1.1 is giving me all sorts of hell, what with not having adoptable storage and whatnot. So if anyone can help me out, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as i have searched and searched and searched for literally HOURS trying to find 4.4 for this thing, and i never found one. for reference, if need be, im trying to get LineageOS 15.1 or 15.0, if that helps too, but i dont know, im sort of a noob in a way. I can and have flashed a few alternate roms, but i need 4.4 for Lineage. Also, ive already checked on Sammobile, and the only firmware they have is 5.1.1. Ive even searched around XDA quite a bit, and still cant find it :crying: Thanks to all who can help, and have a great day!

You need *4.4 and above* to install lineage. So having 5.1.1 is fine as well.

Lineage 15 isn't working yet. Use the July 2017 build of Lineage 14. There's a few bugs, but I use it just fine. Be sure you are using the correct version of TWRP. I think I had to downgrade TWRP to install Lineage 14.

Oh, alright. i didnt know i had to use a specific version of TWRP, so i guess thats also on the list lol. Do you think it would make a difference if my current rom was a stock TW rom, but deodexed, debloated, and rooted?

Nope. Your stock TW ROM doesn't needs to be deodexed, de-bloted or anything. Only thing you need is a custom TWRP recovery to flash the ROM.

You're probably doing something wrong if that's the case.
Check if:
- You're flashing images for the proper device (SM-G530T1/gprimelte),
- You're using ODIN or TWRP correctly,
- Your images are not corrupt (there are MD5 files with each build for md5 verification, and zip signature checks with TWRP),
- Your device is hardware unlocked via Developer Options in the stock ROM,
- FRP lock is disabled on your device.
Let me know if you get back to stock 5.1.1 because nothing works. Im forced to use june version of lineage 14.1
got back to a working stock 5.1.1

Yeah i have checked all of those to make sure, but it seems yo just not want to use any other roms. The only rom i got to work was a debloated deodexed rom. If yhere is any other thing you think im possibly screwing up on, please do tell, thanks!
