Seriously???
that's really up to you - i went ahead and flashed the leaked official ATT ICS version and it's been working excellent. It does not have the Premium Suite but its got most everything else - and i also sideloaded the S-Note from the premium suite

IMO, just wait and stay on GB with root. One thing I miss is stability and more RAM.

flash unofficial best there is...hands down!
Have you ever rooted before? Installed an alternate recovery like CWM? Flashed a ROM? Created a nandroid backup? Cleared caches? Formatted system or data? Used ADB? Used Titanium backup? Run non-stock launchers? Modified system files such as build.prop?
If not, search for everything I just listed, and start reading. None of it is really hard to do, but having a basic understanding of each of those moving pieces is going to be key to running a stable custom ROM.
Most custom roms have install instructions in the OP. If the basic steps there confuse you, then please don't rush anything and START READING!
Good luck!

I agree. The Unofficial 2.0b4 is a very stable, capable, and low-maintenance ROM to install and get your feet wet...
I just switched to the unofficial this weekend and have enjoying it quite a bit.

you can only install roms that are built for your specific device. Trying to install roms meant for other phones will likely break (aka "brick" ) your phone. So no, you cannot install the Galaxy Nexus ROMs on your Note
Luckily, our Note currently has several ICS options to pick from.
First, read up on how to install and use Clockworkmod Recovery (aka "CWM" ). Once again, only install the version that is mean for our i717 AT&T Note.
Then, as I said before, I recommend "The Unofficial v2.0 Beta4" as a stable first ICS rom. Go to its thread and start studying...

You can use it with cm7, but not with stock based roms. I'm not sure about hellraised i9100 roms.
Nice to see you here. You have SGS II now?

boot to recovery and flash? what do you mean you cant use CWM on stock rooted rom?
Rom manager is not needed for cwm. It just makes things slightly easier.
Flash a kernel that has cwm and boot into it by the command 'adb reboot recovery', three button hold, or even the 14 toggle mod reboot button. And flash away.
Rom manager doesn't equal cwm. It's just one of the things it can do. But right now it's not 100% ready for our phones.

I've been using it on my cappy, and now with my Sgs2, no issues. But I'm a compulsive updater and obsessed with living on the edge.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Majority of other phones it does work 100%.
And it does work with our phones. Just not 100%. If used enough there will be a time that it messes up (primarily with stock based roms). Hopefully in the near future the bugs will be worked out so that it is 100% with our phones.

IMO..With the devs putting the extended power menu in the roms which allows you to reboot to recovery It makes life easier to get to cwm..I forgot all about ROM MANAGER a long time ago....

Has anyone had luck installing Ubuntu on their I777?
I'm using the stock ROM that came from Rogers (canada telecom), and I've tried two different guides for installing ubuntu, neither of which have had any success.
The phone is rooted, but I'm assuming this is my stock ROM preventing me from doing things Rogers doesn't want me to do. I'm planning on switching to Cyanogen, but I figured I might as well just wait for stable cyanogen 9 instead of struggling to get 7.1 working.
you need a custom kernel like entropy and or siyha or whatever is called

So I've been running rc1 since it was release but I'm thinking about trying the rc3 update. I just finished downloading the rc3 updated rom but what a the best way to flash, wipe data etc and what about the addons? I tried finding some flashing specifics but there are just too many pages to filter thru on the Dec page.

since there are a lot of changes from release to release, the best way to flash is obviously a full wipe, then flash...

I was planing on staying away from the rc3 but I thought it was pulled and reworked than released...I guess I was wrong, thought the current rc3 was the fully stable ready to go version. I'm content with rc1, ill wait for rc4.

RC3 has issues like exchange service and dpi issues. Contacts FC'ing. Samsung Calendar as well. These FC's occur after applying the tablet ui. (except exchange which happens from the get go.)
I want tablet mode so that's why I am waiting.
Sent from my Samsung i717R using XDA Premium. Hit Thanks if I've helped.
i don't use exchange, so I deleted the app, so no fc's for me; also, don't use tablet mode; need larger fonts, so thats not an issue for me either
no issues with calendar or anything else for me

I use collective tools, but you have to be running one of their roms. You can grab Quickboot from the market. ROM manager should probably not be used with the Note. I would uninstall it. You could always use the old fashioned method....power and volume up and down.

As a complete aside, how do people manage this? I mean obviously blindly flashing anything that's a .zip, but do they find them on other forums or something? They always manage to find the correct xda forums to say "I not things good read," so obviously they can work the XDA forums, and I've never seen a Note 2 / international-1 ROM posted in these forums. So where are they failing at reading so miserably? I feel like XDA is set up to allow even an illiterate 4 year old not go wrong, so it must be randomly googling things, right?
Of course none of this applies to the OP. He's a great guy.
I made a mistake on flashing twrp for galaxy note 2 on my note 1...hahahaha that was so stupid of me...luckly this guy didnt hard brick his phone mine got hard bricked..cost me 40 but it was worth it rather then spending hundreds on a new one..READ CAREFULLY WHEN INSTALLING SOMETHING.. SPECIALLY A ZIP...read the zip aswell before installing...
