The principle difference between CM9 and all other ICS releases is that CM9 contains a safe custom kernel.
Everything else ICS-based uses leaked LP1, LP5 and LP6 kernels which can potentially brick or harm your phone.
However, there are two CM9 Roms here in Development:
imilka's CM9 (discontinued, coming with unreliable kernel)
official CM9 (safe)

And speedwise? Is the latest (build 3) as fast / faster than ics stunner ? Thanks btw for the fast and helpfull replies!

CM9 is every bit as fast as Stunner IMO, but has a bit less customization features.

As I understand it, it was built using SGS2 sources.
And it runs wonderfully, Brocky, I can tell you that.

Yes, you can change the DPI to 213 or less from the settings, reboot and have your nice little tablet.

I just read about the danger of leaked kernels :
If you are running an affected kernel:
STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY. FLASH A SAFE KERNEL USING ODIN/HEIMDALL.
DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
I'm on ics stunner 1.4.26.1 with the leaked kernel stated below and want to go to cm9 but i read this :
- DON'T flash FROM i9220 LEAKED REPACK!
So can somebody explain what i need to flash before i can flash cm9 ??

You need to flash a stock GB ROM using PC Odin exclusively
And after wards root and install cm9 via cwm
N.B :if you use your stunner recovery for any sort of flash or wipe ,you'll risk bricking your phone
So please use PC ODIN to return to GB

does anyone has a link for a GB rom that is usable with odin??

General questions on rooting and flashing roms on note

Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.

If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]

After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?
Thank you.

Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

Well guys. It looks like my flashing rom days are over before they have begun !
Tryed flashing the pre-rooted GB rom via Mobile Odin. This is what I get http://twitpic.com/an6zbi
This isnt right is it. Surely the other sections should be filled in not just System ? This is a real problem as I dont have Windows and can get my head around Heimdall. Im stumped. Is there a file I can use via Restore to install the rom ?

Hello dear friends,
I'm just a newbie here, so please be patient ...
1) I'm planning to root+CWM my n7000 and also (and finally) want to flash CM9.1 (stable) on it. Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all

Need help

Hey Guys,
I have Galaxy note GT-N7000
android ver. : 4.0.3
I wanna know how could I update to jelly bean or at least ICS 4.4 if there is no official version of JB for Note yet,
I'm afraid that I heard that there is a problem with the Kernel or something like this in galaxy note that I can't update to newer version of andriod,
could you tell me please how to do this safely without any harm ?!!

Once you flash stock ROM for your area then you will be able to update with kies/OTA (once it released to your area)
But incase if you are on any other ROM there will be option to update with Odin.
stay tuned to XDA.

do you have a costum rom or are you planning to get a costum rom??
if that is the case you can use odin to flash a safe kernel and then flash an unofficial costum rom...search in the forum...
if you are on stock rom and you plan on staying on stock rom you will have to wait till it releases and you can download it once its released
the thing about the ICS being unsafe applies only if you're rooting or flashing a costum rom...other then that you should be fine as far as I know.
just out of curiosity why is everyone so eager to get on ics or jb??I am still on gingerbread and I don't exactly need to update...

You will remain same on ICS 4.0.4 by flashing this. But this is safe kernel, you will be safe from emmc brick bug, as well you can use its CWM to backup/restore nandroid, as well you can flash custom ROM.

After flashing safe kernel, you can safely wipe or hard reset.
And yes flash custom rom too, but before flashing custom rom you have to read instruction from custim rom thread op.

[Q] Best Kernel / Rom combination for the I9070

Hello,
So after getting some knowledge of the things (thanks Shut_Down :good, I was wondering which is the best combination for this phone?
Right now I am running the stock ROM and kernel.
Will the new official JB upgrade also change kernel or just ROM?
Since people here have already tried different combinations, which combinations have you found that give good, consistent and fast running?
Thanks!

Same here. Stock JB LQ4 + ThunderZap 3.5.

So I am guessing I will upgrade to the stock JB ROM (till there will be a JetMod version of JB).
1) Which would be a better kernel set CoCore or ThunderZap?
2) I am right now still running the stock GB ROM.
What would be the right upgrade process kernel update then rom, or rom and then kernel?
The reason I am thinking kernel first is because I still don't have a custom recovery (using the stock brand) so i can't backup or load new roms.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Try both and see what firs you better. And about order, you can install ROM with temp. CWM, but I suggest you use permanent, with custom kernel. So first kernel, than ROM.

[Resolved] Stock 4.1.2 Root & ROM

Hi
Just got my N7000 back from service; With just about all the hardware except the screen were replaced, it also returned running the stock ROM (Android 4.1.2, kernel version 3.0.31-1103517, build JZ054K.N7000XXLT5). While the stock Jelly Bean is miles ahead of both the original Gingerbread ROM and the stock ICS ROM, I'd rather root and go back to the CyanogenMod nightlies...
Thing is, between all the "Super Brick" and "eMMC" bugs - I'm a bit scared and terribly confused with witch technique I should use to root and ROM my phone. It sure would be nice if someone could point me to a tried and tested method (preferably a step by step guide) to root and ROM my N7000XXLT5...

Root using Philz kernel. Then you can flash the rom of you choice. For instructions, head over to his thread in the original android development section.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

Thanks nokiamodeln91!
I assume you're referring to [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000]. I've looked at this earlier. I've settled on and are comfortable flashing it using the stock recovery method, and the step by step guide (in post #3 of the PhilZ-cwm6 thread) should make this manageable enough...
The problem however is that I'm unsure as to which package/version to download. I've looked at the "What kernel to choose section" in post #2 of the PhilZ-cwm6 thread, but from that information I cannot figure out which kernel matches/is suitable for my device...
As I said, I'm terribly confused by all this...

You need to choose Philz kernel XXLT5

Thanks again! I've downloaded "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT5-OXX-5.03.0-signed.zip" and are ready to root/rom my phone!
I guess it freaks me out not knowing/understanding everything. Especially about something as fundamental as the bootloader/OS of my phone. It's a weird feeling reading info like "DDLSC - DXLSE - JPLSB - XXLT5 - ZSLO2" without understanding most it. Also kind of freaks me out that I'm not supposed to use the latest version of a piece of software....
Though, I've had it with the stock rom again and are ready to take my chances! So again; Thank you!

@nokiamodeln91; Just wanted to say thank you!
Rooting with "Philz kernel" is quite possibly the easiest root I've performed. Once I were sure which version/variant to download is nothing to worry about.
So now I'm back to being a happy N7000 user running CyanogenMOD! Only difference being that I'm back to nightlies...
Again; Thanks!
