Hey guys im trying to decide between this phone and the skyrocket. This phone has a lot more developer support but the skyrocket is newer and has a bigger screen. What do you guys think?
Ps. Im looking to play games watch a lot of movies and flash roms

Search is your friend . This has been asked to death and often results badly :O .
OGS2 = dev support + better cpu/gpu
SR = bigger screen + LTE
There's other differences but those seem to be the main deciding factors.

While the bigger screen on the skyrocket may seen like a boon, go check them both out. I disliked the skyrocket's slightly less contrast and clarity. It's weird considering there's only a small difference in size and the panels are the same. Also, the other thing that pushed me towards this one was better development and the combination of cpu/gpu. It's snapper.
If roms are your thing then this is the phone for you, we get the added benefit of being able to flash i9100 roms

As long as you flash the hellraiser patch you can flash any touchwiz rom and have it work, some people did this and posted it in the dev section. You can't use hellraiser for aosp roms. And no you can't flash any kernels except siyah because that dev has made a version of it for our phone

No - one of the first things Hellraiser does is replace the kernel. (Except, as mentioned above, the I777 version of SiyahKernel)

Yes, CyanogenMod and MIUI.
But, both are supported on the i777, without having to port the i9100 version. They are ports, but someone has already tweaked them for you. All you have to do is download and flash.

I'm getting my phone soon. I hope (I'm begging) I get to see a MIUI rom for this phone. Don't YOU like MIUI?
Don't worry, now that the iPhone announcement is such a letdown AT&T will sell millions of these phones. In a few months you will have more ROMs then you can handle.

No. "ATT Note" implies i717. If they would have just said "Note", that would have been vague. Throwing ATT in there makes it clear as day.

Probably not since it is based on AOSP
Hello I'm fairly new to Android and I'm just getting to know about flashing and hacking. But what does aokp stand for and what is it, along with cm9. I wouldn't be asking questions but I don't know where to look here. Can someone give me a thread where I can find out about all these terms and what not.. Thank you, greatly appreciated

AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project, CM9 is CyanogenMod 9. Basically they are both similar roms that are built from open source vanilla android, and can be built for basically any android phone so long as a developer is willing to put in the time. They both share some code with each other, yet AOKP tends to have a few more tweaks, and both are crazy fast. They also have a theme engine that allows people to make themes that can be applied on any phone running AOKP or CM9, regardless of which phone.
As for learning other stuff, I point you here for terminology: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22223555
And for how to root/rom go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24539068
I suggest just taking some time on stock to learn the ins and outs of how the stock software works, and reading as much as possible on here, before you try to do anything.

Both are based off of AOSP which is the Android Open Source Project. Google released the source code for Android ICS and developers take that code and make their own roms. CyanogenMOD is basically pure Android ICS but with some extras. AOKP is based on AOSP but with themes, tweaks, etc. They both are different and both very good.
We currently have both roms but unofficial versions of the roms.
AOKP: http://aokp.co/index.php/news
CyanogenMOD: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
An official before source drops Nice. Unofficial still works great though.
I thought AOKP was based on CM9

I am not new to putting ROMs on Android devices but haven't rooted my AT&T Note.
With nothing even being scheduled for release and June passing and now Jelly Bean already released, I am declaring my independence on this day and root and flash my phone.
Do any of the ROMs have the Samsung note ICS set of new tools like the YouTube video? Do any have nfc built in?
Thanks for the advice!

If you are familiar with flashing ROM's, then I'm sure you know that most Dev's post screen shots, sometimes video reviews, and detailed descriptions of what their ROM's have and don't have, what's working and not working.
It's hard for the general public to know what your exact taste is right? To each their own, as I always say.
Grab a beer, and start searching and reading through the Dev section. I'm sure you'll settle on at least one, if not two or three that you will want to try. I am currently flipping through 3 different ROMs. Backing up, and restoring each different one daily, playing around.
Seek, and ye shall find. Happy hunting!

Team Perfection UCLF5
Here is a link to my daily driver. I am new to flashing and have tried several of the ICS versions in the development forum but Team Perfections UCLF5 is my favorite. All developers have very clear instructions on flashing ROMS and usually post them on the 1st page of the thread. This ROM is very stable and has very few issues.
I recomend trying all of the ICS mods located on the the first page of the development forum.

Hotwire's CM9 port is my favorite.
Sent from my CM9‘d SGH-I717 using xda premium.
I've been using the semi-official leaks, currently using UCLF5 - it appears to have NFC built in, but i have no way of testing it. There's an option under wireless and networks to enable NFC, and it lets me turn it on and off.
I am on flap latest rom of UCLF5. Fantastic rom and it's been daily driver. Crazy smooth and NFC built in but I have no way of testing it unfortunately.
Each ICS rom is different and unique in their own way. Flash away and find out which one suits you.
I've used a number of ICS roms since they've been available.
Flap's was good up to B5. OnlyOne's is great. Hotwire's I couldn't get to sit right. Dagr8's AOKP/PA wouldn't sit right.
But CalcProgrammer1's direct port of CM9 nightlies is where it's at for me.
And NFC is built in to the rom and works perfectly.

Some are using the same base for there rom, but they all don't have the same tweaks.
Jus sayin.
I know I am missing something obvious but that's newbism for you...I have been reading through the discriptions of various ROMs, I don't see any that specifically say they include the new sPen Samsung utlilities. Do all of them or is there a Note subset?
Still trying to find the right ICS ROM, all of them report that I will lose s-pen sensativity and none seem to have the s-pen ICS suite. I need both really.
Any ROM recommendations that will give me s-pen pressure, suite and NFC?
Thanks!

Sounds and looks difficult. The Spen stuff is dependant on Touchwiz. So that must mean they somehow got all the touchwiz dependencies working in an AOSP based ROM, without needing an actual stock ROM

So I reached out to Gerrett the Dev who put together the Vengeance Note Edition MIUI Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688646). He said he might be up for the challenge but he needs to know the differences between the International and ATT note from a Dev stand point, and will need volenteers to test the rom and send log cats. I expressed my interest in offering my help and I sure others will join in, but I just need some help from one of our Devs to turn to when he has questions about our device. Any Devs interested in helping out?
So my friend has a Telus Fascinate and after using her phone briefly I decided she really could use a custom ROM for improved performance and to remove bloat. She doesn't own a computer and uses her phone in place of one. I am familiar with rooting, recovery and flashing custom ROMs. I've got a few questions and preferences:
I'm looking for something that will boost performance and remove bloat.
I need it to be incredibly stable as I will be flashing it and then it will be out of hands.
It doesn't matter if it's TouchWiz or not. I would prefer ICS if possible.
I've spent a bit of time lurking here but I don't think I have the time to completely educate myself on a phone I will have in possession for a few hours at most.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide, I really appreciate it!
