[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] fabu09:
OK I finally did the flash of this from as I just stand not having this rom, don't get me wrong GB is good, not as good as PA.

I wanna explain what I did exactly for people's reference. Any ways I did a full 'restore' if you will.. I have a 16 gig memory card which I strictly keep my media like songs and TV shows/Movies on it. So I backed it up and formatted that on PC and then backed up my internal SD with it's data. I only have 3 major games, N.O.V.A. 3, GTA 3 and Max Payne which I backed up the game data and the other stuff accordingly. So then I formatted the internal SD in the settings thinking it will 'restore' the phone, it erased everything on the SD but not the apps. So I manually uninstalled the apk after backing them up. Also backup my text messages and call logs before formatting the internal SD. After the uninstalling of all my user apps I once again format my internal SD before adding the PA rom and gapps hack zips. Then I simply followed the 'how to install' video on the first post and did exactly the same except instead of chose zip from SD I selected chose zip from internal storage and located the PA zip then the other zip and cleared the other stuff according to the video.

After about 5 minutes of the flashing I was finally enjoying the goodness that is PA. Now I have been using it for a couple hours now and my thoughts:

Honestly no issues like battery drain fast or charging slow and stuff like that, so I suggest people with this issues and have a little time on their hands or people who want to flash this rom for the first time, BACKUP ALL CRUCIAL DATA AND WIPE EVERYTHING like I did and do a fresh install. I don't know if its my phone bug or what but I don't have such issues, but it doesn't mean I'm issues clean. I have a satellite issue as some people mentioned, I tried detecting the satelitte and I have it worse because my phone doest even detect a single one. I don't think my area sucks that it don't have any close by but it shows 0. So that's the only issue so far that I have, I did notice that my battery drains just a bit faster than on GB, not sure if I just feel that way or it genuinely drains fast but its just by a mere bit which doesn't affect me.

Anyways I did play with the setting but not the system mod parts like increase CPU and all those stuff just plain customize the phone but nothing to do with the 'developer' settings if you will. So overall there are no problems with this rom except the satellite GPS thing which might be major to others but I'm just a student no need for it but of course I would want it fixed. One other thing I noticed is it can't play AVI videos, I searched this thread and it said somewhere something about Android paying people money to have the codecs on this OS but since this is CM9 based rom and the CM9 people can't afford the expensive priced to have it on this OS thus CM9 rom doesn't play AVI. I'm not sure if that's what it meant but all I want to know is will we ever be able to play avi videos on the gallery app without the need of 3rd party apps?

MP4 plays fine but what app is the best UI wise to play AVI vids other than MX Player.

SUMMARY: Basically perfect rom, nothing else can beat it. I'm using stock kernel and only issue is the satellite thing. Another thing I find complicated is typing in landscape because the status bar is at the bottom and so when I type in landscape for space bar my thumb automatically goes to the bottom of the screen hitting the status bar instead of the space bar which I don't think can be fixed unless I switch to phone UI but didn't flash this rom for phone UI.

Finally anyone can help with the Satellite issue and the best Avi video player alternative.

But overall thanks for this rom, now on to PayPal for a donation to the dev who should get paid and developed this rom full time.
