ICS ROM for Galaxy Note: Criskelo ICS ROM V2

It's AWESOME and SUPER FAST RAM. I'll update the battery performance for this ROM in a few days

Here's my experience upgrading from Stock ROM GB 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.2

Briefly, here's the step;

1. Root your galaxy Note - For me, since I was on 2.3.6, I have to use Method 2 in my previous posting here

2. You should have ClockWorkMod app installed - look for CWM icon.

3. Reboot your Galaxy Note

4. Now, download the ROM package (in .zip format) from the link below and save it on your phone memory

This part is really tricky so pay attention :-)

5. Launch ClockWorkMod and select under Reboot the option "Reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery"

6. Once it's reboot, navigate the menu to install a package ZIP file from phone disk. This is important - you can actually select your options using the touch screen, i.e. no need to use volume up and down buttons.

7. Once install, please reboot

8. After reboot, YOU WILL GET SOME "Unexpected Stop" messages for several application. DON'T DISPAIR. I got the same messages so just follow the steps below.

9. Launch the CMW again, similar to step (5) above

10. Wipe Dalvik cache via recovery (advance section)

11. Wipe data, factory reset again

12. Wipe cache partition

13. Reboot – all ok. – this time booted as if from new, rather than straight into homescreen

Thanks to RootGalaxyNote.com for the guide and instructions

BTW, here is a video on how to install a new ROM using CWM. This video could be confusing so let me know if you have any question.

I am planning to install ICS ROM on this baby, no first thing first... we need to root the phone

So, check out this awesome video !

Method 1 - this is the recommended method but this only works for gingerbread 2.3.5



Method 2 - This method will root ANY Galaxy Note GT-N7000 on Gingerbread (Yes, will do 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.X).You need ODIN for this. Contact me if you want a copy of ODIN
