Default Internal or External

Okay I just need to ask one thing please. When flashing a ROM it says move the zip to your sd card. I've heard people refer to both the internal and external as SD cards so which is it? Do I move the tar to the internal or external card?

*You should be putting a zip file of the ROM you want to flash, it should be a zip due to it being an executable type file...
**And to be safe should be your internal sd....not your external sd
**So if your looking at your phone thru windows explorer....put your zip file of the ROM on the "phone" as listed in the windows explorer...not card, for a safe bet
***And when in CWM you will go to >install zip from sdcard >choose zip from internal sdcard > then look for your ROM you are installing...zip file...

Maybe you should do some more reading on flashing...there are lots of YouTube vid on flashing for the NOTE...do a google search...

better safe...

I've been doing a bit of reading.. I'm looking for the most stable and most usable ROM. Team Perfections ICS Objection I've read good things about but I'm not 100% sure at this point.

That would be your call...all have there preference and wants and needs...
I use what bigfau makes, since I have know him from the Infuse and still he works with the Infuse community and here also. I consider it my DD for my phones both his ROMs.

**DD: daily driver...meaning your everyday workhorse for a ROM, having been proven and tried true....imho
For both my phones, as you can see in my signature links on the bottom, But you will have to test for yourself to find your DD

Thanks so much for the help. I've got the flashing down now. I'm curious about one thing... Is there any ROM that sets the icons back to five wide like on the stock gingerbread?

Even in his video review of the UCLE2 you can see that it's only 4 icons. Is that something that changes in UCLF5?

use a different launcher than touchwiz, and you can have many app icons in the tray..

Thanks, I went with Apex Launcher and it works amazing. I'm not too worried about UCLF5 so I'm just sticking with UCLE2 and Apex for now and probably till Jellybean comes out.
