Hello,
after asking some info about the the battery on airplane mide, I ha now some question about ICS.
I have tested today the galaxy note, in a shop, running under android 2.1 or 2.3 ( I don' t remember...)
the device was so slow to use. it was really really slow. a lot of lags,the behavior was not good.
is the galaxy note faster with ICS?
thank you

There are varying opinions. Personally i found it smoother generally although was using launcher7 instead of touchwiz. The task management is fantastic. If youre looking at stock ics, samsung in their wisdom have skinned it exactly the same as gb which really annoyed me!
There are settings to select if you want hardware image decoding or software, i have a feeling its glitchy if using software.

I upgraded to gingerbread but dont notice some of the gui visual differences. Anyone else notice this too?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Theres not much changed in the graphics itself. More underlying stuff has been changed.
For me the most important things are greatly improved battery life and properly working gps (quick fix). There are others reporting faster and more responsive overall user experience.
Its really worth to upgrade to 2.3

What version tab do you have? Thanks.

Mines a hell of a lot faster with Gingerbread... Love it, would recommend the upgrade...
Mines a p1000t, aussie telstra version. Has same modem as the A,T&T version in the states...
Rogers sgt p1000. I waz hoping for alot of the gui graphical updates in gingerbread.

Search tab forumn gingerbread has ALOT of bugs. Threads and threads with pages and pages.
Wait till oc/uv and a more stable kernel. Current kernel is a mix between tab software with a sgs driver. Because samsung hasnt released source code yet. Gingerbread isnt officially out in the us or most of the world for the tab.
An interesting note on gingerbread. Drop your lcd density to 165 and some stock icons upgrade to a totally different icon. Example is phoneicon.

If you want to change the GUI of your Tab, I suggest that you try out some launcher apps. LauncherPro for example, you can easily change how the homescreen looks.
Or if your open to custom ROM's, I suggest that you keep a close eye to the development of Overcome ROM. They are beginning to customize the GUI of the ROM, as well as optimization tweaks for the whole device.
Thanks for all of your answers

Take the Overcome expiriance. It feels very fast and smooth. Everything works without any issues and the community support (if you need it) is great. At the moment Alterbridge does not stop his developing (next version of his rom is in the oven) so we will get more and more performance.
PS: for a nexus S look you can flash the GreengerBlack theme.
(I know, I know......)
I came from overcome to dip7's rom and I can tell you that it is faster but it's closer to stock. Overcome has icons that look cool for some people but i like dip7's rom better.

Cool thanks for the replys guys quick question if I was to flash it is there anything or any builds for the uk model as there is so many different types of tab models. I don't want a brick
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
If you make your choise for overcome, the installation will be easy as sleep. You just have to follow the guide on "teamovercome.net". The Rom is made for GSM Tabs like yours. It's allmost impossible to brick the Tab.

I can give you instructions to install dip7's rom if you want cos I have a UK tab too. I can tell you how to install overcome too.

For both roms you must flash stock gingerbread. Here is the guide I used cos i was a bigger noob then:

The honeycomb rom by spacemoose1 is not complete yet. The last build he released was about 3 months ago. I tested it and it was laggy and many things were broken. I recommend gingerbread for now until spacemoose1 gets onto a better stage of his build.

I really appreciate all the replys, ever since I got my nexus s I joined this site and I've never known a community to be so helpfull. I will go with the overcome, I watched the YouTube video of honeycomb it doesn't have the acceleration looks good but I'd rather have the "smooth as butter flash" I will hopefully flash before or after work tonight and will report back

Overcome or CM7 ?
I can see that overcome is pretty popular. I dont hear anybody touting CM7; I've got CM7 running on an HTC Desire HD and an LG Optimus One, and I'm pretty happy with it -- much better that the stock ROM, and on the O1, probably the nicest ROM out there. I'm just wondering a bit how much better worse it is compared to Overcome ?
I used to like cm7 but it is buggy as he'll Evan the last release was on my nexus s id have times where my screen would look like a burnt in screen animation, I would have to reboot all the time best roms i've used on my nexus is stock and miui only problem with miui us is the keyboard vibration don't work

Guys,
I just got a T-Mobile version of TAB,
I'd like to flash to Gingerbread, or a rom which supports Gtalk video and Skype,
What are some of your suggestions?
Thank you
Overcome supports it I think I'd start with that if you can get overcome

Definitely what you want. I've been an Overcome fan for a while now, been very happy with it.
I use Overcome since version 2.0.0 RC1. In my opinion it is the best ROM for the Gtab 7". It is fast, does not have too much bugs and the support by Team Overcome is very good. The development of the ROM is fast and continually.
Not to forget the very good installation instruction and the Change Log for every new version of the ROM.
Hi guys, I am considering buying a tab atm but want to know how fast it is with good MIUI and stock roms. The tabs I saw on display were extremely slow..
If anybody could give me a comparison to other phones, ill be thankful
Cheers!

Yeah, most of the Custom ROMs for the Galaxy Tab (Overcome as well as MIUI and CM7) do make the Tab run heaps faster. The single-core CPU will be noticeably slower than some of the newer dual-core hardware as apps continue to get more advanced, so the choice is yours. Still, I can attest that for the majority of use, my Tab running Overcome is more than speedy enough.

It is not fair to compare the original galaxy tab with the latest tabs available. And I should say it is really slow and sometimes force closes on the latest apps optimized for the latest tabs.
Remember it is more than 1 year old, and for today's technology is considered obsolete.
I would also like to add that despite of being old it is the only tablet that has complete phone functions integrated.
Is the speed comparable to a SGS?

As far as I know ROM, RAM, CPU & GPU is concerned, it essentially is an SGS.
I recently bought note (white) and it runs on stock rom. I have a gs2 as well, and i feel note is laggy sometimes and not as superfast as gs2. i dont prefer custom roms. Is there any tips to make the phone faster? I have many apps running in sd instead of phone. would that make a diff?

I think we just need to give samsung time to create better stock roms for us. Having been on the full journey for sgs1 im sure the note will be blazing fast in the future roms

For the time being use an alternative launcher which should give you a boost, example LauncherPro...
But still felt smoother with stock launcher.
thanks, it wox
Update to Kl7 firmware. It seems to have resolved most of the lagginess that made the Note feel slow
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
right. KL7 fixed it all.
I prefer GoLauncher, it's much smoother than LauncherPro. Homescreen switching is not as smooth as Touchwhiz tho.

Lol, funny how these launcher's work. In my case it's the opposite, LauncherPro is miles faster & smoother than both ADW Launcher & GoLauncher...
Ha, ADW has been very smooth on mine! I have not tried the other launchers on my note yet though. I updated to KL7 ota within an hour of acquiring the device, and have not experienced any lag whatsoever.
Guys, I am been a die hard fan of Apple iPhone and just last week I have shifted to Android, so I am not sure what you guys are talking about when it comes to launcher and KL5 or KL 7. Can someone guide me? My G-Note is not smooth as it should have been. I will appreciate an honest guidance
If you have task killer remove it. This device has enough ram

How to Make Galaxy note faster?
Throw it.
I've just about had enough with some of the performance issues I have with my 4.0.4 note.
Its been stock and stock with speedmod (current) and it takes approx 10 seconds to open the contacts, or phone app. Thats waaaay too long.
I was wondering what performance was like on alternate roms. I'd prefer "premium" or mainstream roms to the lesser known ones.
How does CM9 behave?
I am on stock, with tegra at 1600mhz and use exDailer / exContacts. After the first load opening is instant. Very very nice.
