[Fascinate Android Development] mrjake1970:
Thank you sir for the note..

I know the builds you guys have to work with have been wonky lately, and y'all do the best you can to get these puppies running.

as an add on - something else is borked somewhere as well. and let me preface these additional comments with the statement that it very well could be just my phone, and me screwing something up with it somewhere.

i tried to recover from these using every method i know and i get nothing but bootloops at the MIUI main screen.

ive:

- tried a nandroid restore from the latest backup right before flashing this. it wont boot..get a bootloop.

- tried a nandroid restore from a backup from a week ago. phone will boot but cant get past the lockscreen..its unresponsive.

- tried flashing kernel again - didnt help, still bootlooping.

- wiped everything again, and tried 2 different MIUI builds (yours again, and the 1.11.11) and they still bootloop at the splash screen.

im going to odin back to ed05 and start over.. ive got just enough time to do this before football starts :)

hopefully you can figure out what bugs china has sent you for the ports.. love what you do with this!

rock on

-

EDIT: Found the culprit. Voltage control is borked somehow. i reinstalled everything from a clean ED05 ODIN. Soon as i set up my voltage control and got it where it needed to be, i selected "save as boot settings" .. i noticed that it said it saved settings to "ect/int/d..." but the last part didnt look right? it had something like d5 at the end of it.. voltage control exited on its own and phone went blank.. took me 4 tries to get it to turn on, and then i got my famous boot looping mess that i have had all day.

i three fingered into recovery, flashed GLITCH to clear the kernel.. booted right up like normal. rebooted into recovery again, used GLITCH to clear the voltage settings, and then reflashed "3 finger fix" kernel by JT. everything running normal for now.. however i do notice now that soon as i jumped into voltage control again - my settings were already set for me? but this time it didnt lock up and die.

there is something wrong with the latest greatest of Voltage control. i would suggest being careful when using it with the 1.11.xx builds..

Ok, new update package available. See OP for download link. You must be running 1.11.18 in order to update to 1.11.18.1. 1.11.18.1 is just an update package, not the full ROM. If you try flashing 1.11.18.1 without being on 1.11.18, it will fail. Let me know how it works!
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
1.11.25.1 is now available! See OP for download links.

Hello,

I've flashed to a new rom and installed adfree(like i previously had) and updated list and it no longer works. it used to work on my stock root. so i figured i would try adaway and same issues...

i tried rebooting phone, clearing dalvik cache etc just to see if it would help. same problem.

could there be a conflict somewhere? am i doing something wrong?

i tried installing busybox but i already had it.

any help would be fantastic!

What'd u mean by it does not work? ? Does it say new host names found download and install but your still getting ads or is it force closing or is it saying your not roo

ted or what
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MessageOftheday:
It updates and says should be ad free. But it does nothing
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
I find on adfree I need to have "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" checked to get it to work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MessageOftheday:
Tried it. No change. Don't understand this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Select "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" , force update the hosts file, reboot.

That's all I needed to do to make it work on stock rooted EI22. It's possible the rom you are on has the hosts file somewhere odd?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quick99si:
It's possible that the image of the ad was cached somewhere on your SD card. Try the same app in airplane mode to see if it's pulling it from the net (in which case Adaway should block it) or if it's loading it locally.

Scour your card for ad images.

Try another app w/ ads.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Onumis:
Do we know if the resizing issue with wallpapers is going to be fixed in ics?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] falcon26:
That is the one thing that really ticks me off about Android devices. Unless it is the stock wallpaper you have to jump threw hoops to get it to size correctly on your screen. On Apple devices its as simple as 1 click. Why can't Android do that??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] almostinsane:
Unicorn tears. Steve soaked up all of them on the market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] taha_e:
its already solved. just use multipicture wallpaper from the market its free
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KitF:
That isn't solved. That's a workaround.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gokpog:
What's the "resizing issue" in the first place?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alcnaeon:
On HC devices, try setting an image as your wallpaper. Even if the image is really high-res, it only allows you to select a very small portion of the picture to use as a wallpaper. The end result is, your selection gets all blown-up and pixelated. It's nigh-impossible to get a good-looking, full-res wallpaper without using one of the stock wallpapers or a workaround.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] falcon26:
What he said
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Is this really a honeycomb issue or is it the form factor of the screen needing to have a wallpaper that fits portrait and landscape? I wonder how wallpaper selection is on the smaller galaxy tabs?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Cammiesoul:
If an image fits the screen, it fits. It shouldn't matter what way I'm holding it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Until you rotate it. Then the image won't fit the screen.

sent from Tapatalk App
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Cammiesoul:
...Why does the image have to move when I rotate it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrvtec69:
think about what you have said.

if you have a landscape picture then rotate ur screen to portrait youll get black bars top and bottom.

Landscape height = 800pixels

Portrait height = 1280 pixels

then youll start complaing why do i have black bars when my screen is in portrait mode -_-
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DBBGBA:
Actually his question is legit. Why the picture has to rotate? Let's say he wants to use a picture of a metal grid as the background, that picture doesn't really have to move or rotate (just like it happens on computers). There should be an option in the settings to allow this, I completely agree with him even if I doubt I'll use it very often.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
...and if you want to have a nice landscape as a background picture?

You rotate your tab 180 and trees are growing upside down.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FricoRico:
You guys do realize that this is not a bug or error.. It's a feature, the small portion you are referring to is the actual homescreen.. When you select a wallpaper it's a sort of cross. Why is it a cross? Well when you open the app drawer the wallpaper scrolls down to give another perspective.. So basicly, the horizontal bar of the cross is the actual wallpaper on the homescreen. The vertical bar is for scrolling up in the app drawer. If you don't want that move to another launcher, or set wallpaper scrolling to off.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
lol @ feature.

Lets make sure the picture you want as a desktop....the thing most easily identifiable as customizing....the thing youve been doing with your desktop since windows 98....lets make sure we make it the biggest pain in the ass for you to change it to what you want.

Its ugly ,its stupid ,and useless.

All 3rd party apps door poor jobs of keeping the original res.

So AGAIN...does ICS fix this ? Anyone with half a brain or 15 seconds of Android use knows that a pain this is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Philx64:
Simple Answer.

Sorry, but no.

It is not fixed yet,i hope it will be fixed in future.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HotInEER:
I agree. It's very annoying, and needs to be fixed'
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mike-y:
if you resize your wallpaper to 1900x1408 (or is it 1900x1425?), and the wallpaper won't be stretched. You have to use larger images than the screen resolution because of the way the wallpaper scrolls.

Though I do have to say, my HP touchpad (running ICS) renders wallpapers much better than the galaxy tab does. It does have a different aspect ratio though

Has anyone tried to use the Note to replace a phone, tablet and laptop? If so how successful was it and was there anything you could not do such as printing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
It can't replace a laptop but it can do quite a bit including printing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
I'd be able to do many things with the Note if I had to if my laptop broke. But for everyday use - no way. Playing games, reading stuff, browsing, media etc. - yes. Writing an official letter several pages long comfortably- no.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LiquidNitrogen:
Basically, no it can't replace a laptop but it'll replace a phone and tablet quite easily (in fact, tablets will seem excessively bulky after you get used to the Note). Perhaps in a few months/years when developers actually make good software for Android that rivals that of Apple's App Store, it could replace a laptop, but until then it won't.

It's quite capable hardware-wise of replacing all three but its missing the software component of it - the software available on the Market and preinstalled just isn't taking full advantage of the phone's capabilities. It's sad, really. Hopefully this will change with ICS and the release of the Pen SDK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Depends on what you use your laptop for. If its just browsing the web and some multimedia stuff then maybe. If its things like word processing then probably no.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] koniakki:
It will never replace a Laptop/Notebook. At least NOT in the next 5-10 years to say a minimum. Before everyone starts shooting at me... Why? I will try to explain my opinion in a simple manner:

A Desktop/Tower PC: You have a keyboard and a screen but its not portable.

Laptop/Notebook(13"-18.4"): You have a screen and a keyboard and it's portable.

Netbooks(10"-13"): You again got have a screen and a keyboard and it's portable but the small screen is not very comfortable to use. Subjective so NO bushing please. For me it's not, but I agree those tiny things are very portable.

Tablet(7"-10.1"): Good performance, NO hardware keyboard on most, virtual typing on flat surface or even in a angle NOT very comfortable for long typings and (usually)half the screen is GONE also and it's NOT even near to a Laptop/Notebook/Netbook's usage comfortability.

For everyone else that does not require often writing or specific tasks, it's near perfect.

Tablet(7"-10.1") with keyboard dock: Android might be good, but is NOWHERE near or close to Windows or OCX or Linux as every day usage for almost everything.

And also to be honest here. A Tablet with a keyboard dock? Then the main difference with the Netbooks, is the Operating system. Think about it.

And last but NOT least, Phoneblets: Same performance as Tablets, PERFECT MIX to a phone and a tablet, it CAN indeed replace them, but it will NOT directly replace the Tablets(might replace it for some that are satisfied with 5.3", like me) or neither any above categories for the above aforementioned reasons.

The main reason is the smaller screen. A 7-10.1" might not be very pocketable, but it's much more easy to work on those screen sizes.

Everything exists in it's own category. Before you ask why, because other people need/want what we DO NOT need or want. E.g: I don't need Tablets, I own a Notebook/Laptop which is a 18.4".

Why that screen size? Because I need/want a 17-18" Laptop/Notebook. Like people need/want a Tablet or a Netbook or a Phoneblet or a economic car, while others don't care and get a 5.0L V8 instead of a 2-3L Hybrid.

In the end? They will give us/make what the Market Demands. That's all there is to it. Market demand and profit. Where's a Market to get into, there's profit. If not, they move on. :p

P.S: While I love my GNote and I never owned personally a Tablet (had a GTab for 2 weeks), if I had own one, it would have replaced it. Hell, I barely use my Laptop now(fiance does tho :D) and mostly I'm on my Desktop and my GNote.

And productivity is going very well also. GNote for social "work" and some quick emails(also some games, funny apps, killing time, oh and calling) and if I need something more "advance" or specific, I just use my PC.

But when I visit friends, I usually take the Laptop/Notebook with me. Even if I love my GNote it cannot replace it as of now. But the future is looking very promising tbh. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
The obvious answer is, of course, what do you do?

The biggest difference between a laptop and a smartphone is the operating system. Only being able to have one app open at once is a dealbreaker as far as productivity goes. And that's just one difference.

People bring up mouse/keyboard but you can use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse with the Note. So that's irrelevant.

Highly dense text/apps would be much easier on the eyes with a tablet. I've already hit a few games that had just unbearably small text. The new amazon store has quite small text, but still readable.

As a phone - no question it works, unless you tend to use pockets that would be too small to hold the note. ( The note is far more pocketable than people think though ).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] randomstranger99:
I have found very little use for my laptop since I bought the Note.

My main machine is a desktop with 2x 24" monitors, so that's where my design work happens. Anything else is a satellite to my desktop, and the Note replaces both my old Android (Desire HD/Ace) and my laptop for pretty much everything, with the added advantage of having stylus input. Being able to write to USB stick over OTG cable is a big win too.

I used to have a tablet, but a 7" device isn't pocketable so I left it at home all the time. The Note is small enough to pocket but big enough to show clients images, layouts, videos, Flash, and to annotate effectively, especially with the laptop-level resolution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
I haven't received my Note yet. I get it next Wednesday.

But as a Dell Streak, HP TouchPad, and Macbook Pro owner my usage ranking is; Macbook Pro, Dell Streak, then TouchPad.

I like the larger tablet with some activities, but as an all around tablet I take the smaller 5" Streak every time. The Note will do everything my Streak does but better.

Soon, I'll just be a Macbook Pro and Note owner. I think that's my ideal form factors... and there is a specific void they both fill well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] investmenttechnology:
replacing laptop? what have you been smoking son?

There are many "levels" of laptops. From netbooks to workstations. You have to be more specific. I mean do you think the Gnote can replace my W520 that I use to run adobe software while driving three external monitors?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] koniakki:
For those that use the Laptops just for surfing the net, occasional e-mailing, some text writing and in general very, very basic stuff, then yes, it possible to replace them.

But then again laptops for the mentioned usage(performance wise) are much cheaper than the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
for me it easily replace phone (htc hd2 runnig android) and tablet (galaxy tab 7" still prefer tab over note over ebook while i have both under my hand) but laptop i dont think so as koniakki said if you only surf, email, office it may replace laptop for you at some situations but generally it cant replace laptop.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rana_kirti:
let's have some more inputs on this from note/note 2 users.....

can it really replace a laptop...?

for someone who is mostly uses the laptop for surfing the web, listening to music, watching videos reading ebooks/pdf and travels often carrying the laptop around, Can the note/note 2 be considered a laptop replacement device....?!?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
No it can't replace laptop completely. I use btooth keyboard and mouse and it almost replaces laptop until when I need to do serious photo editing or work on a complex excel sheet or compile few c# codes. These exceptions are once in a blue moon stuff and hence I wouldn't feel comfortable to give up laptop for Note or Android tablets. Windows 8 tablet may finally replace laptop.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
+1

Although the Note is an epic device, and can do almost anything, For situations like that ^^ it cannot replace a laptop / pc

I use mine for everything, I do all my emailing / surfing / movie /music watching + streaming on the Note ( Mainly because im too lazy to move to the other side of the room to access the PC lol)

I would imaging for your average user then yes, It can / could replace a laptop, But at some point there will be a moment where you think 'Damn it ! wouldn't this just be easier on my computer?'

I must also add, Im super lazy, I have remote desktop app on my Note so I can access my computer and print files without leaving the sofa, I also have the Viera connect app so I can control my TV when I cannot be bothered to reach over for the remote control lol..... All I need now is for someone to pump my chest every few seconds so I dont have to waste energy breathing :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tatkovladko:
I adore my Note. Still it will never replace my PC/laptop. The specific reason for me is productivity. Productivity means MS Office, Digital Audio Workstations, large screen, large and higher precision input devices (mouse, normal size keyboard). Although I have been able to tackle some productivity tasks using the Note - "send me a PDF of the paper document you filed at the registry office", "take a look at this excel and tell me when it can be ready" etc.

Hm, now that I think of it - I often read XDA on the Note but have written only 1 post from the Note - I'd really rather do it using a normal keyboard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tannduricic:
well before my htc desire broke down i was planing to buy tablet... and when it broke down i had no choice but to use my money to buy new phone... i had to chose between sony xperia s (i think, cant be sure now) and note... i chose note cos i hoped that it will satisfy my need for tablet...

it didnt.

i end up buying tablet few months later :)

so NO! it cant replace not even tablet, and definitely not pc/laptop
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zas311:
I agree. Note hardly replaces my notebook for the productivity. However, it can be used as a substitute while you travel light. Reading and sending emails, paying bills, communicating, reading news and books, watching movies, listening music, playng games all are possible. Great gadget for me. The best.

The only thing that keeps me from selling my Samsung series 9 (an awfully nice laptop, mind you, not some 5 year old pos) is the battery life of my note. I can't browse the Internet for hours on here like I can on windows without having a plug hanging out of the end. Oh, and Windows has much better multitasking (although that's a lot less true with win 8).

First and second song is playing normaly, but when it comes to third, it keep repeating second song. I can't go forward even with the next button. I sync my playlists with Windows Media Player and MediaMonkey, but always the same result.

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you.
