cannot wow.. unless u modify urself

It took 5-10 mins for me to flash for better performance and extended UI.

I hv unifi where download big file is not a problem

What about restoring apps? My last count on the number of apps and services I've backed up on TitaniumBackup is close to 300 elements, not to mention ebooks, PDFs, emails, SMSes, work files, and app save datas. To restore those will take time. If you leave your Note barebones with no apps, of course la flash/restore takes 5-10 minutes. Those who have finally decided to USE their devices instead of going flash-crazy, will have a hard and long time restoring their apps and files back in working order. Do you have nothing much installed on your Note?

Bottom line is, a line has to be drawn somewhere. I always like improved performance, but when custom ROMs appearing like mushroom after a rainy day, when do you stop flashing and start USING your Note?

In your case. Find rom that flash with no wipe. No changes on Data and apps..

My question remains. Have you ever used your phone, or all this while, all you did was flashing nonstop? When does an Android phone becomes a phone, when all it has become is a flashing device?

any1 got wifi signal low problem.......or is samsung problem like sgs 2 oso have this problem.......my modem in room when i go out my room , my note wifi from 3bar go to 1bar .....if go back my room then back to full 3bar....

Go buy at AMS Mobility Lowyat. Got stock and 2 years warranty

Isn't that what LOGICALLY should happen? You want your Note to RETAIN signal reception when moving AWAY from the source?

Not that frequent.once a week. Sat or sun.

I hv sgs as my second phone

So you use your Note as a flashing device, with your SGS as your phone? You don't expect others to follow suit with this "use one phone, flash the other" mentality, do you?

Samsung should've be grateful that they have someone like you who troubleshoot and do ROM updates on their behalf, and not getting paid to do so too! That is supposed to be their job , not the end user.

why bother bro, its what we choose to do, besides, we are just searching for the right UI and performance we need to suit our daily life. I had a SGS previously and i flash almost every week, but when i hit a nice ROM then i stop.

So if samsung stock roms had problems we keep quiet and just use it? Voicing it out and troubleshooting solves this kind of problems, everything now is very dependent on user base, a large user base like SGS have their hands on an alpha build ICS. Imagine if one day everybody stops flashing, the developers can stop and there goes a bunch of people screaming for new ROMs. its a cycle my friend.

are you using wifi-N router? Using a N-router instead of G-router might improve the signal. My house is using WiFi-G only.

haha... i agree with you on this too. At first it seems fun to keep flashing rom but after a while when I have more apps and data in the phone, i feel very reluctant to flash a new rom and setup my homescreen and everything all over again - it will take me at least half a day to setup everything to where they should belong or behave. At the end, for my previous Desire and Desire HD, I stop flashing totally unless there is a huge changes/improvement in the custom rom.

And one more thing about custom ROM - although they bring improvement to the stock rom but they will also brings bugs, some might be just minor. The more extra features the custom rom has, the more bugs it will brings. Thus the ever updates of the custom rom coz they are constantly fixing some bugs and in the same time make some.

So for the Note, I dun think I will flash a custom rom as long as the stock rom is stable. BUT i do find out that my keyboard will Force Close some time if i type too fast.

hi guys, anyone know which digi centre located at selangor currently have stock?
I have booked a set at digi centre seri kembangan since last wednesday, since now also no stock. Is it possible have to wait so long since this phone currently quite hot ? huhzz

I'm not asking for custom ROMs to stop being developed, I'm asking sane users to settle on one, instead of jumping around ROMs and leaving the phone barebones just to restore it.

I certainly don't want Samsung to stop producing more firmware updates, but they don't produce updates in crazy frequency like the custom ROMs. You're running the phone down to the ground as experimental guinea pig to ROMs produced by someone you don't know, and no idea of the integrity or security of the said ROM. The guy could just program backdoor and keystroke logger to your accounts and transmit it back to them for their own malicious use.

Precisely. Each new custom ROMs comes with its own quirks and bugs, while squashing the ones the phone used to have previously. When does the cycle end? Not to mention the point about security. Stable? Sure. Secure? How do you know?

ic... anyway for me, its all about the appearance not the performance, during SGS times yea performance is what i seek, for now? i look for themes instead, AOSP lockscreen, batt %, etc
It will make our phone stand out even more and looks more personalized.... Phones nowadays are becoming some sort of a personal assistant, and by personalizing it into your own style, it would feel much better. This is why i didnt choose iPhone becoz its boring when evrybody have one.

haha i dont install tones of apps, i dont need to backup smses, so not a big deal for me, once i flash it would normally take 10 to 15 mins to have my phone back functioning nicely ^^

i dont understand why do people install like 100 to 300 apps, not every app are used and most have the same functions. I play games more often hehe.

First of all., to all those flasholic (sp?), go get a SGSII non-G version where you can spend every minutes of your life flashing custom roms. That phone got tons of custom roms for you to ply on. But Note.?
I thought when i buy this phone my life can take an easy path of quiet and peaceful thread but boy., am i wrong. With only two and three custom roms available for Note, this thread becomes chaos already ~~lolol~~

the samsung kies is the Kies Air in the Galaxy Note?
i did use the Kies Air to connect to my notebook.
like this consider install?

but follow the instruction, it mention need to use the USB connect to PC.

any master can help me to root my note?

it doesnt matter if he want to flash how many times.... becoz... he can do a review and rite down here.. so can benefit other if u dun want to flash.. so just wait his review... but if he want to do a review laa...

but then again his choice of rom maybe not the same wit u... haha...

haha nah, its hard to get a non G sgs2 thats y i moved on to note...

a peaceful thread??? admiring our note every now and then? XD

Woot just got my note this afternoon at celcom. Lucky asked them to reserve 1 for me.
