Ya. I had some troubles getting it to run at first. I think I put "su" and "bootubuntu" in the initial prompt on the terminal and reboot the phone. And then run terminal quickly. I guess it had something to do with the drive mounting or something.

I'm really not sure. It was mostly trial and error for me for a couple days until I got it working.

Nice find on the video jonnypinkeyes.

Glad you are enjoying it.

bump for those who want to give it a shot.

the youtube method is very very simple! you can get it running within minutes

your phone can still be used fully, it doesnt wipe anything!

Question- what would you be able to do with it that you basically can't do already?? Because this looks interesting

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jonnypinkeyes:
you can use just about any program that you use with ubuntu on a desktop, on your phone. It does have some practicality issues i guess but if you are a ubuntu fan its pretty sweet. The ubuntu image from the youtube post is a fully functional image. I have upgraded to natty using the update manager. It does consume some gigs of memory though. I think my ubuntu image is up to 5gigs now.

I use QBittorrent to download lots of shiz. I downloaded Donni Darko the other day with QB . 720p and took about 10 min. I opened a terminal and moved the file to my sd card with no problem.

Give it a try, If it sucks , dump it. There is no risk of bricking or anything like when flashing.

check out torrentz.eu

i transferred it from my phone to my computer and watched it off that,

haven't tried watching it off the phone yet, it might be possible to exit out of ubuntu, find the file using root explorer, and using a compatible player to view it.. not 100% sure on that though

also..... johnnypinkeyes....

when you updated through the update manager... did it give you any trouble?

when I try it, I get an error saying I need more disk space...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Hi dear,

I just read some posts that said Galaxy Note has some lags when scrolling and opening some apps..

So I want to ask the owners of GNote, do you really feel it's slower and more laggy than GS II?

If it's because of the resolution of the screen, would it be fixed in the future with ICS?

I need answers today as I was almost gonna get Note tomorrow morning but these posts make me confused...

It has better spec (actually almost identical to GS II) but doesn't feel good when scrolling? That sucks! As a owner of iPhone 4, I do not like that lag feeling..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blobotorian:
If you have any second thoughts, just wait a while. Don't go buying like crazy.

But, is a small lag (that will probably be fixed at a later date) a real deal breaker? Coming from the Apple platform i think you will be blown away by the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Cool man.

I got it. It's not a real deal breaker, of course.

I'm going to get it due to its beautiful display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevincod:
Not sure where you get these rumours from! I have both and I have no lag at all. If anything it feels quicker then the SII but its hard to tell because both are lightning fast.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersh:
What it is laggy in the phone?

All of them or the scroll in touchwiz? If its all of them I think that will not be solution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Really?

I just read it today in one thread....

And some owners said when they scroll the screen on home screen it's kinda more laggy than sgs II...

By the way, how is the text on browser?

Is it crisp and clear which can read without zooming in?

Can it be comparable to iPhone 4 screen?

Please let me know about it before I purchase tomorrow!:)

Just now I went into the Dubai mall Samsung store and played around with the 4 galaxy note units on display for an hour. I was gutted to see how laggy they all were. Web browsing (once page was fully loaded) and gallery app were simply not as responsive as the SG2 next to them. Also the pentile screen as much as I hate saying it but it simply is not as crisp. The difference is visible

My experience is very different to some of the comments here

I'm so disappointed - the form factor is great, it really is thin and light. I thought this would be my next device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Oh I see..

So do you think it's worth to get galaxy s II more than galaxy note?

I was worrying about the pentile screen on galaxy note but some said it wouldn't be a problem...

I can't see this device in real even if I really want to.

But, although it's not as responsive as sgs II, does it have any lags?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techvir:
Dont have the phone yet, but i ask people who have SGSII and comparing that to note.

Is ur SGSII on the stock firmware. Most of the minor bugs have been cleaned out and phone has been made super responsive and fast thanks to XDA.

Even the latest firmware from samsung seems to fix the earlier glitches.

So if GNote feels a little lagging, wont be a surprise to me.

Give it some time.

I had Samsung Galaxy S2 and now I have Samsung Galaxy Note and it is smooth like a charm :)

but only in touch wizz launcher. All others launchers (GO-L, L-PRO, ADW-L) are a bit laggy, probably not optimized for such resolution. But anyway I love the phone and I am glad that I sold SGS2. The screen is just amazing.

An U really have to be an idiot to chose iCrap over this beauty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blobotorian:
Perhaps the notes needed a reboot. Who knows what kind of horrible persons used them before you. They could probably use a few milliseconds of sleep...

I just got it this morning!!

I was so suprised by the size of Galaxy Note!

Its not a typical size phone lol

And when I compared with gs II, scrolling was similar but speed was faster.

I mean when both are on wifi, webloading and youtube was faster on Note.

But I feel it's a bit laggy especially on browser..

And usage of ram is too much.. almost 700 mb after playing 3 hours.

My flatmate has gs II so I compared with his phone .

It's not slower than gs II when browsing but not as responsive as gs II.

Also I found one more problem that widgets are not fit on the screen in terms of the resolution.. hopely, ICS will fix it..

Last thins is that some apps are not working perfectly on it... NYtimes is one example...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevincod:
Note that all applications that do not work are actually the creators fault due to not scaling properly with the resolution. Not much samsung can do about that.

I personally feel no difference in speed with the GSII with both on stock. Your friend might be using a rom as well while the Note is still on stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tito17182:

That's the nature of Android. It loads as many apps in the memory as the memory permits. Don't worry about the ram use. It is managed by Android automatically.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geo_Ros:
Compared it with SGS2, iphone 4s...

Both iphone 4 users said my Note screen looks better, eventhough it's not yet retina...

Browsing over Wifi seemed faster too.

Other nice points;

Almost no lag in UI,

fast GPS fix,

watching 720p vids is awesome,

also the battery lasted almost 2 days with quite intensive use!

No need to say more :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
You sure?

Battery last almost 2 days??

I charged my Note last night and now I'm using it for 13 hours and it almost drains all.

Also fast scrolling on home screen but not in browser. Internet seems a bit faster on Note but not as smooth as on gs II and needless to say on iPhone 4s or iPad 2.

It needs to be fixed.. many bugs actually.

Especially s choice apps which allow use the S pen are too buggy.

Screen? Not as impressive as iPhone4 or gs II.

I think gs II is more stable and faster in overall as well as it has better screen despite of low resolution of the screen.

Yesterday, 15% battery left @ 1d 16u

im using dolphin browser and i didnt notice any lags in it.. for me browsing is fine.. my **problems** are as i wrote it before:

- with other launcher like(go launcher ex), laggy browsing between the screens

- some apps didnt scale right whit the bigger resolution(google market at self)

i think the seccond issue is not the problem, its only software related. i hope so that the first issue with laggy replacement launcher is software related issue too!! you can use launcherpro, its much better than launcher ex, but the support from this launcher is down and its not so fluent like the original tw. if the first issue is hw related regarding extra pixel and rendering, that would be a reason to sell it.

Many bugs you've mentioned less than 3 so that's a few not many , 13 hours on a 2000 odd mah battery mmmkay my dhd last longer but its a fact that the batterys need time to build up the charge so your point is mute . There's been enough screen comparisons to show regardless its still a gorgeous display so your just trolling imo , if its so bad then go return the phone tbh. It's just been released and obviously needs time to be optimized that's pretty much common sense and the sg2 ,ip4 has had plenty of time for optimization.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockky:
1. I find it hard to believe stock launcher is less laggy than Launcher Pro...which has settings to speed up displays.

2. Are people comparing Note to rooted GS2‘s?

Rooted GS2‘s are going to be faster.

I'm assuming Note with root and overclocked slightly will do the job.

3. I thought Note had Exynos processor. Just read that that wasn't so.

Can anyone verify.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georaldc:
I believe it does, same hardware as the sgs2 but with a faster 1.4ghz chip so its odd why it would have hiccups compared to previous phones, unless performance takes a hit because of the higher resolution
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
Note has an Exynos processor.

Also I believe the lag is mostly due to unoptimized software or lack of proper GPU acceleration, because it mostly occurs due to transitions.

In terms of scrolling. Its somewhat laggy especially on the homescreen compared to S2. Page loading on stock browser is incomparable to 4s yet but still acceptable. Hopefully all these will be improved on ICS. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Dont keep your hopes up that ICS will fix anything related to the UI stutter, unless a rework on the UI rendering is done it won happen.

I dont seem to see any performance difference with the S2, I had mine upto KG5 and the UI stutters from time to time the only spot where the S2 doesnt stutter and the note always does is when you pinch the home screen or app drawer, anything else is faster on the note.

bad software causes laggy interface

i'm pretty sure that the reason why the note is laggy, is because of bad software.

for example my note is getting smoother and smoother by updating ROCKET ROM.

i also saw that with my HTC Desire, there were very big differences between ROMs, launchers and apps.

another example:

dialer one is a perfect dialer for me, but the scrolling there is not very smooth

i don't remember the name of the other dialer, but the scrolling in the other dialer was perfect
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
Just got my note not long ago and I can directly compare it to my wife's S2.

The note definitely feels laggier especially when playing games.Power saving mode must be switched off when playing games otherwise it's too laggy to be playable on some games like air hockey and air attack.Games like angry bird isn't affected.On the S2,playing games with power saving on or off does not make much of a difference.The power saving mode on the note appears quite aggressive which may explain why some people find it very laggy and others not so.Both are stock with nothing done to them.

But the funny thing is,the note beats the S2 in every benckmark test I have used.

Hopefully ICS will solve the issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anakin1979:
I think a lot of us have been spoiled by the S2's near perfect snappiness that anything remotely less just isn't good anymore.

I came from an S2 and after a week with the Note, I can agree that there is some considerable lag but it is almost negligible.

Normally I see it when waking the phone from sleep and getting into the app tray (probably a .5 to 1 second lag), but don't really notice much when scrolling through apps.

I also observe a similar .5 to 1 second lag when closing apps or pressing the back button several times to get to somewhere.

Again- if you are coming from an S2 you will notice it. Is the Note still a fast phone? Yes, for me it is. The lag is there but it is very, very minimal, to a point that sometimes I don't even notice it. It doesn't affect my usage of the phone.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
I agree the lag is minimal when using the phone in general but playing games is a different matter.That little bit of extra lag can make game play frustrating.The lag in power saving mode makes some games unplayable.

I suppose the reason why most people feel dissapointed is that the extra speed of the processor does not translate to better real world performance.

It's still a wonderful phone,I love mine but the S2 is definitely a bit snappier.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikhfa:
I came from Galaxy S then S2 and now Note.. When I had the S initially, it would lag so badly, i got frustrated because at that time the S was suppose to be the fastest phone but it did not turn out to be so. I actually bought another phone, HTC something which I can't remember, just to replace my GS. But somehow ROMs started to update and true enough, one by one, the lag was no more. When S2 came out, it picked where S left off. Not wholly true for the Note though. The lag is undeniably there, but it is nowhere as bad as S1 when it first came out. It will get better. Have patience.

Haha sorry guys, just sold my note and now waiting for the Nexus to come to singapore, funny, I believe that the note has maxed out it's launcher ability even with ICS installed, maybe 5.13" screen plus high res HD killed the performace. A galaxy nexus is somewhere in between note and S2:

1) Launchers - Galaxy nexus 9.5/10 - S2 - 8/10 - Note: 6/10

2) Form factor(personal) - Galaxy nexus 9/10 - S2 - 8/10 Note: 10/10

3) CPU performace - Galaxy nexus 7.5/10 - S2 - 7/10 Note: 8.9/10

4) Heat - Galaxy nexus 8/10 - S2 - 8/10 Note: 6/10(gets hot!)

5) Battery (surfing) - Galaxy nexus 8/10 - S2 - 7/10 Note: 3/10
