NOTE!!!! : this is not a "whats the best rom thread?" :NOTE!!!!!
Hey guys with the new 4.2.2 update, roms have been coming out pretty fast over the past few weeks and i haven't had time to try them all.
1. Flapps builds
2. CM nightlys
3. Jamies U-CM
4. JellyBeer
5. AVATAR rom
6. The Collective
7. Sons of Android (Ptmr3)
Kernels: Flappjaxx 3.1.x, and ACES B3x.
As you can see, a hella of amount of roms and i cant test them all :? So im asking for some overall feedback on these roms. Any info on any of these roms will do just fine. I also appreciate any comments/replies. Maybe comment on the stability or overall theming of the rom
thanks- OPGT
Just try them. Do you really care what I think? I like green but my wife likes blue. So just try them.
I probably should have just let this go but damn. Should I try on your shoes too and tell you how they feel?

While you have best intentions at heart I see this turning into a troll fest.
As for my feedback I had flashed everyone of flapps kangs since he started putting them out. I was enjoying them but at the same time little bugs with 4.2 made me decide to flash back to his uclf6 b12 which is an amazingly stable and solid TW ICS rom.

Hello. This is not a pair of shoes.. It's a piece of hardware and silly roms. I, as many other users do not have time to test Every rom. Last time I checked each rom must receive full wipe and that takes a great amount of time and effort to do. And if you read the OP, it clearly states I DO want you opinion or what you think.. I wouldn't have made the thread if I didn't care what you thought. It also notes at very top that it's not a what's the best rom thread. So please read carefully next time. I don't like arguing over something silly. Thanks.

I am running the CM10.1 Nightlys, and they are great. They are plagued with an audio bug at the moment, so you have to use a custom kernel in place of the CM stock one. Only downside to that is battery life is bad with the custom kernel I am using, but stock CM kernel gave me great battery life, patiently waiting it out. JellyBeer was the first ROM I tried on the note and it was great as well. But I always go back to straight CM with every phone I have always used. I like watching the change log and getting the new features first. Hope this helped.

I will second jellybam...I am running version 6.6 with aces31 kernel...I have been dieing to try ptmr3's latest or even the newer version of jellybam but I generally have an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda disposition..
I really wish there was a jellybam thread over here as I would love to read other's experience with the latest version. That's generally how I make my decisions on whether it not an upgrade is worth it...
Anyhow, my current setup has great features, is very stable (no reboots 3 days in), and has pretty decent battery life..

Told you. Really bad ass rom the orange wasn't my thing I just had to reflash to flappjaxxxs ics rom most stable rom ever

My fav is Flapps 4.2.2. I've been on it for about a week or two and it is awesome. Most stable of all the 4.2.2 ROMs I've tried. You don't see much about it because FJ isn't posting on XDA. He is just sharing his work, but it's great stuff.
I tried a few others but just wasn't as satisfied. Jellybam is a good one but there were other issues that keep from dealing with those characters. CM is also good, of course. I encourage you to include Flapps in your final 2 or 3 trial run ROMs. You won't be disappointed.

I was debating on which rom to install, i'm currently on rc4a. And then i was wondering what are your favorite roms? Here are the choices
Latest Saurom Rom ( version 7 i think)
Saurom rc4a ( i know some people like this stable version)
Stock rom
The unofficial
The NEW ICS stock
DAGr8 ICS stock rom
Waiting for ics aosp
I hope this will also help some others decide what rom to try first
Im also on rc4a. Tried unofficial and collective but im a goLauncher fan so collective didnt work out with me. Rc4a definitely fullfills my needs and is quite feature-rich. Waiting on a tweaked bug-free ICS rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
For some reason Saurom never really played nice with my phone. Love the ROM, though.
I ended up going with The Unofficial. Works great on my phone with GO Launcher.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The unoffical is my favorite gb rom so far. It works great right out of the box and is very smooth.
Souroum looks nice and has some nice built in customization features but its a bit more work to get setup. I just don't like having to do extra work to setup apns.
Right now I'm running ICS and other than the persistent keyboard notification in the title bar when I type and the higher battery drain, I love it. The s pen is so much more responsive now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Same here with The Unofficial and Go Launcher. If it wasn't so smooth, I'd have given in to messin with the ICS leak. Think I'll give it awhile and see what the fine devs here do with that before I switch.

yea, i just hate messing around with the alpha/beta releases. I used to do that all the time back in the day, but i'm kind of over it. i can wait. lol but not long!
I am a fan of go launcher as well, and I'm waiting a bit until the bugs are worked out of ICS.
I'm running Saurom the latest version with go launcher and setCPU on lagfree/or smartassv2.

I guess I have flashed every Rom that's came out for the note since it was officially released. One Rom that was left out of the poll was TPC v2 GB Rom. That besides DaG/ICS is my favorite on the GB side. I am going to stay where I am at right now anyway. Just checked my Odin Counter and i'm sitting at 22, and that's not counting all the CWM flashes I have done. I really don't mind alpha / beta testing as long as it helps get a good product in the end.

Still on TPC v.2 with OC kernel.
I kept hoping he would return from the dead and release v.3. Now that ICS is out Ill wait for a little more stable release and go to that.
I've also flashed every Rom. Including the ICS ones we have now. Favorite is still the unofficial.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Each rom has it's own pluses and minuses to each but my favorite is the unofficial as well. I use ADW-ex with the ICS theme. No bugs I've found and battery life for me has been great. But everyone has their own preferences and the devs have been really great on all roms.

Nice to hear your guys opinion. I went ahead and made the jump to DAGr8s alpha 2 ics. And im really diggin it. Working great! (with a little lag here and there)
The latest Saurom here. I ran the Unofficial for about 30 minutes and I find it's UI modifications to be pretty ugly, which is pretty much a deal breaker for me.
Saurom ICS right now but really waiting for CM9
Just curious why you didnt include Solaris Prime?
I know its personal preference but can I get some recommendations on roms for the note? Just curious what many people are using and what seems to be the preferred roms....

I'm also curious about finding the best ROM. I currently have a stock Galaxy Nexus, and I love that, so I'm looking for the best ROM for the Note that is as close to Stock Android as possible.
I really want to pick one up, but until there's a Clean, Non-"Samsung-y" ICS ROM, I'm holding off.
Any leads would be Very much appreciated.

Your going to have to wait much longer before anything is released, we dont even have an official release of ICS yet, nor do we have any source code, and after CM gets around to releasing a first release, even longer (probably a month or two) before it is stable enough for daily use.

I agree, completely with him. But, oh well.
For HoneyComb, I've always preferred Galaxy Task 14. Its fast, stable, smooth, and it feels great. But if you're looking for a non-touchwized HC version I suggest Clean Rom. You'll need honeycomb for now if you want camera support, no ICS/JB ROMs support camera until Sammy' decides to cough up the source/drivers.
For ICS it really depends. CM9 nightly builds are great, but I've always gone back to AOKP nightlies/milestones after a CM9 flash. I feel AOKP has a quicker, snappier feel to it. Plus, AOKP is highly customizable. I suggest Milestone 6.
For JB theres just one port, but this really isn't for the faint of heart since wifi, sound, and the camera do not work at all. This is highly experimental and you really should go here if you're looking for a daily driver, but it is really smooth.
Overall, I suggest AOKP M6 its really smooth, and its ICS. The only down side is the camera issue.
With the ease of flashing these ROM's it would be beneficial to test each one and see what you think offers you the best stability, response, and works with whichever apps you use.
I have been playing with Scott's CleanROM 2.0 and Task650's Task14 slim. I am currently on Task's ROM and using Pershoots kernel. I honestly like both ROM's thus far.... going to test out Bindroid next.
Those roms task14 and clean are for wifi only he has p7500 use bindroid for honey comb or cyanogennod9 for ics.. I'd recommend cm9 look for it in cm9 Site as p4 with no variants but p4

Wait for stable Jelly Bean Rom
I have tested JB ROM. Still its to early to comment but its buttery smooth and lightning fast. After a stable rom comes. It would be way better then ICS or honeycomb.
Test and explore different Roms and decide for yourself. I settled on Task's Slim 14.

I've been running Diet ICS, which also has great battery life. I haven't had any issues with the ROM, and they seem to be very responsive to what the community would like to see in the ROM itself.
ROM is always going to be user-preference... I go back and forth from CM10 with inverted apps, and AOKP with inverted apps....
Ive been a day one Note user and loved the work of all the devs here. I absolutely hate that the stock jb (specifically the debloated stock) is so Damn sluggish. I love the aokp/cm/aosp roms for speed but the random reboots and in some cases lack of stability are problematic. As are the battery life issues.
I've tried the other stock based roms and not sure if it's my device or what but they all get significantly more sluggish with time/usage. If anyone has a stable aosp/aokp /pure Android ROM to suggest I'd be happy to give it a spin. I still love the device just wish it was more smooth.
In any event I greatly appreciate the work of the devs that are still around. Please keep up the good work.

So far the 8/28 Unofficial AOKP from BlownFuze has been very good. Looks like it may work out. I tried an earlier version of this and got the SOD and hand't been back in a while. If I have any issues in the future, i'll try the other recommendations.
Thanks!
Man I have went from the note 2 to this which is a long story but damn. Jb is almost non bearable to use. Laggy and even using cm10.1 stable and rc3 it would not even play angry birds friends correctly.
So went to stock 4.04 and removed all that att stuff since I am in Germany on o2 and I have to say its been pretty good to me.
I run nova launcher and so far battery has been good, angry birds friends play great and not an issue.
I really think Samsung just gave us jb to shut us up about it and forgot to check to see how it ran.
My next phone will be the nexus 5 or whatever it will be called.
