A good review by Pocketnow.com on Cyanogen 9 ICS 4.0.4 rom for the G Note. I am on this rom now build 3 since about 3 days ago. I have said before if one wishes to use a non TouchWiz based rom, this is the rom to follow as all other rom developers eg Stunner, Liquid,  Cyanofree, Imilka based on this Cyanaogen build to develop their roms. Now that the Cyanogen team has now official support the Note, we 'd expect better and greater improvements directly from this team of developers

However using this rom is not for the faint hearted as at times it can be quite nerve wrecking as I have discovered. Here are some tips which I have discovered and are not really sufficiently mentioned or highlighted at XDA./ Some I found out thro trial n error and have the Note soft brick few times. So heed these if you want to test this rom and you will be fine

1. ONLY flash this rom from recovery mode through Abyss Kernel 4.2 ( repeat 4.2 only)
2. Preferably wipe data n MUST wipe all caches. If you are upgrading from , say Stunner or Cyanofree or Liquid wiping data is optional BUT is compulsory if you are moving from Touchwiz based roms such as Midnote, Alba
3. The rom will assign /mnt/emmc as your internal SDcard while your ext SDcard is now /mnt/sdcard. So you need to remap some of your apps path pointing to the external sdcard such as audio, video players
4. Restoring the rom through the default recovery will endup your clockworkmod will be installed inside your internal Sdcard . So a better option , always flash first to Abyss 4.2 and from its recovery do a nandroid backup so that the backup will be store onto the external SDcard
5. Any subsequent flashing example of modem you MUST do it through Abyss Kernel BUT the biggest problem you also need to reflash the rom again immediately - if not the phone will not boot. At times you will find you will lose the menu to go back to reboot system , so manually take out battery and reboot to recovery and select reboot system
6. If for whatever reason you want to wipe your caches again, do it through Abyss kernel

The developers has highlighted several times to avoid using the default Recovery to do any flashing and wiping - so please follow strictly. Hard bricking is a high possibility if you do so
