Roms

Dude, these roms are still in development, you cant install a custom rom and expect perfection.

Have you any idea how long it takes developers to produce the next build, ie, ICS 4.0, which quickly became 4.03?

This is what software development is all about, wether its microsoft windows, fifa 2012 or sheep rom, it makes no odds, software cant be perfected at the very first attempt, which is why these guys at XDA continually develop and improve on their work, they are a godsend to this community and we should be thanking and praising them, not moaning coz of a bug in the rom, So THANYOU, to all you guys developing and releasing candidates for us to try, it is, greatly appreciated.

I have to add on one final note, that i have tried Rocket rom, Sheep rom and a couple of deodexed roms with tweaks, overall, there may be slight noticeable changes, but all in, not enough to warrant ditching stock kka.

BUT, I HAVE NOT, come across any issues running these customs, all roms ran smoothly on my Note without any signs of bugs.

IMPORTANT to note, no matter what instructions you use for installation, it is always important to wipe the dalvik and cache and, do a factory reset after installation, some people think its not essential, but ive always found the factory reset erases any possible conflicts with the new rom intergrating with left over data from the previous rom, FACTORY reset always gets rid of most issues people are having.

#Merry xmas to all and to all you developers, keep up the good work guys, were seeing some awesome stuff being produced, many thanks...

Let's go to test, actually, i'm on a rom with several bugs, last week, ~10 times restore 23k SMS/100+ apps, very long...

Of course, the developers for SGS1 and SGS2 are so many more, the work is so much more beautiful, for a SGS2, first ROM downloaded Sensation1.5, worked perfectly the first time and finally, she turns for 3 weeks, no worries . This is what I'm looking for GNote, a simple ROM, close to the traditional, with options for advanced customization (themes, tray, etc ...), yet very optimized and 100% reliable and stable ...

And of course, Merry Christmas to our developpers :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] graemeg:
stock

in that case, stick to stock GB and download themes instead, or just wait for ics because i imagine work on gb will come to a halt then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Toshiro-Sama:
Now, i'm on Cassie's XtraLiteRom KL3 ThunderBolted v4, no problems (but my phone is in charge, with SMS restore (go SMS pro), battery 6% > 1%.

No FC (only TW, removed), it's Ok !

I can now go on holiday ! ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thering1975:
Hope it goes well for you.

I came from the original galaxy s and can say the best custom roms have only just started to come out after a year and a bit it will be the same on here. Most of the guys who create sgs 2 roms came from the galaxy s arena so had a good head start. There are some great people on here creating great roms with a wide variety of ROM types to suit different peoplesneeds. But in time we will have better bases to work on, bugs ironed out and more ROM chefs, and that can only be good for the end user, we just need a little time before the creativity starts to stream ahead
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] graemeg:
hear hear

his point ?

Patience, as the man said, it takes time, and by the time great roms have been perfected on GB, the android guys will have gone from ICS to something more spectacular, like Android 4.5 codename Banana milkshake or something even more ridiculous than ice cream sandwich..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dobygot:
Listen to this guy. I support rom cookers' attitudes, spending time tweaking and making things "better" and sharing it with people. However, in the end I always prefer stock with bloatware gone, than a rom with new features but with buggy inconsistent side-effects.

Cassie's XtraLiteRom KL3 ThunderBolted is a good rom, I use it as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Polls here show the vast majority of Notes are not faulty, so the faults reported here from the minority are probably typical for any leading edge smart phone. No device is guaranteed 100% fault free which is why manufacturers provide a warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
You're right! Many people come to XDA to seek help, some to vent their frustrations. But most of us are happy users. If only each happy user were to start a thread about how great their phone is!

:p

Not a good idea at all; I'm just kidding!

Blessed Christmas to all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dt33:
All peoples do have a different views about what are acceptable and not. Some do accept the minor flaws and others dont.

One thing for sure, are all Notes owners do have these screen/video issues that already mentioned in the threads, some more/others less visible and some just accept it, others dont.

Can be many reasons, why peoples see them not a issue and maybe think future updates might fix it. Or just dont watch video alot on the phone, others features they like on the Note and makes them to keep it, or for whatever reasons.

The Note might is not faulty, but really do have issues and up to everyone to decide.

Its different between, faulty and issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
I only count no more then 7 people with issues on the front page. Banding is a known thing on amoled screens and we all know that's a software issue.

I've tried all the steps and have seen no issues. I find the witch hunt funny. There's nothing to accept, when my phone doesn't show vertical lines nor dark spots.

If you have to crawl to a dark spot, triple check the brightness level, and use a app that shows complete white/gray screen to find a dead pixel or lines then I think the issue is bigger than the phone.

Now if its something you can see with normal everyday use, then that's a different story.

GALAXY NOTE
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
You cannot say for sure what all Note owners have experienced on their phones. However, it is very clear from the polls here that the vast majority of owners do not find the phone faulty. It is not up to the minority to try and convince the majority that they are wrong, but to convince the person they bought it from that it is faulty if they want action taken.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walropodes:
"There are people who have issues with their purchase that I do not have and I cannot comprehend that. They must be losers!"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
There is the point of a the human brain it thinks what do i need what do i have is it suited for me is a noticable problem and how much will it be fixed with a software upgrade can i wait till then.

My phone has black lines vertical horizontal on gray with low brightness. I see them when i test it with a gray background i am not runing with a gray wallpaper arround. Problem with crap designed apks or whatever is it that cant handle the 24bit from the display aka xda and skype application launch wallpaper with blue brown stripes not be fluid on transition. It may be a phone software problem not apps. Another problem it has black squares on dark video scenes. It brings me in memory my pc from 1999 or so and first stages of windows 2k a mix of unstable 1998windows and windows NT which was the most gosu windows they had it was something like linux/unix. And last but not least S Pen problem on photo editor on portait mode it cant draw on the edge of the same side that has bin configuired the spen. Ohh forgot the pink dot on macro pictures with camera on white page with low light.

I see three solutions

1. Avoid the contions which replicate the problems and be happy with the most imba gosu wtf lovely smartphone outthere till they fix them and you can do all things without thinking about those issues.

2. Wait till they fix the problems and buy the phone. But i would say buy it now and wait for a fix you will not be dissapointed. BUT DONT BUY IT VIA ONLINE A SHOP NEAR YOU IS BETTER MAY BE A BIT MORE MONEY BUT THE SERVICE IS A MUST FOR ME. from net go buy **** items max 100 bucks not more so you dont cry your money. My oppinion about online shoping. I want to buy a ue40d8090 on shop 1499€ on net 1297€, but if i have a problem the 200€ isnt worth it the calls and stress and the days to send wait for it back.

3. Go buy a other flawless phone like iphone 4s plx if you cant live with those problems.

Hope it will help ya deside what is better for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walropodes:
People have been having screen issues far beyond little blemishes. Since this phone costs ~$800 it is understandable why they're irked
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
I'm not sure what' your point is here. Yes, most first gen devices have some bugs to be worked out and the Note has some of those. I will say that it is the only phone I have ever had to return because of such a serious flaw but that can happen and I will still be using a Note because it's such an overall great device. Forums, whether tech or not, will always bring out the questions, concerns and minority problem finders but at $700+, people are going to want a device that performs.

Tapatalk is good
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I would have thought my title for this thread makes my point very clearly. Polls here show the vast majority of owners do not find that their phone is faulty when using it, me included. So the minority who fear all Notes might be faulty can feel re-assured and make a claim under the warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I had broken iphone after broken iphone, then I got sick of having to send it back again and again for faulty batteries, broken screens, burnt out displays and messed up home buttons. Yes, 4 iphones in 1 year. That's the MOST i've ever had to exchange a phone. I on the other have had this SGS2 for 8 months, and still working. I have had blackberries last longer. My 9700 lasted a LONG time, it was a great device. I will NEVER buy another iPhone again just due to their quality control. I love their CS. I got a new phone every time, but still, I shouldn't need to go a full month without a phone over the course of a year just because their QC is lame. Regardless, I know the majority of people love their iphones because it's simple and people want simplicity, Give me options over simplicity any day :)

But I get your point. Still, the Note is a FANTASTERASTIC device :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
I guess that would be the point of the poll in the first place.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SilverHedgehog:
My Note works flawlessly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Agreed.

Aside from a small number of definite manufacturing faults, there are large numbers of complaints triggered by ignorance and disinformation on review sites and such.

I count complaints about banding, pentile screen artifacts, battery drain, IS/IS NOT Gorilla glass as witch hunt bs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
As I said in a similar thread, people tend to come to forums with problems looking for solutions. Citing unknown 'polls' for information isn't very productive either. This thread is closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I thought i would post this, since I haven't seen it anywhere, and in case it helps someone out.

This is a nandroid backup of a stock yakjuux ITL41F build: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c3a77cd/n/2011-12-21.18.22.20.zip

What I did was factory reset my device and take a backup using CWM. (It should still be rooted, and with busy box installed.)

It is a nandroid backup of the system, data, cache and boot images, as well as the CWM recovery. To restore this, extract the directory from the zip and place it in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory on your device, reboot into CWM and restore.

I have not included the bootloader, stock recovery or radio - the radio can be found in my signature. The stock recovery is the same as the yakju build posted on Google's factory image site. As for the bootloader, I have no idea how to dump it.

EDIT: Link updated.

EDIT: This nandroid backup works. I've tested it myself. If you are having problems, then see here and here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
thanx dood! i was looking for this to make my emergency stocking kit!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Don't forget that you will need to remove su, Superuser.apk and busybox in order to make it completely stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scratch42069:
I don't have CWM flashed but could I soft-boot it and restore to this backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scratch42069:
Ok thanks. Good to know for when I start flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamat:
Hello,

Was following your posts and am also on a nexus on Rogers.

my question is if I'm currently connected to an exchange server using active synch and am doing so in a corporate worl using mobile iron...can I update to the Stock yakju ICL53F build?

and If I do so using your backup and restore guide will I lose my connection to iron mobile when I restore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'm not sure what iron mobile is, but you certainly can flash yakju ICL53F and use ActiveSync on an Exchange server (I am) -- you just need to set up your account on your device after you flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leobg:
Is it possible to dump system partition as img file instead using nandroid? Nandroid does not restore file modification times
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not sure if it is possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogersGnex:
can you update the link as it is not working atm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'll do it over the next couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Anyone know of a good free uploading service?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anterus:
uploaded dot to is good and so is filefactory dot com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ok, I'll re-upload it tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I re-uploaded the file. Link in first post updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Tried restoring this. I get an MD5 mismatch and it refuses to proceed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
After you unzip the file into the right directory, try doing this before booting into CWM:

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-12-21.18.22.20

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *.* > nandroid.md5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Umm... Doesn't that just constitute overriding the security check? If the backup is uncorrupted, the md5 calculated on my phone should equal the one calculated on yours. That's a really dangerous suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
CWM has been know to mess up in the past when you transfer backups to different devices. (It worked fine for me on my device, but it is my back-up image.)

And besides, you were just flashing it to apply the update in order to get the radio, anyway, so how is it dangerous.

P.S. I already posted the radio in the radio thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Well ultimately I'd like to be able to rely on having a backup I can return to for warranty purposes. If the backup is corrupted, it's not very useful in that respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As I said, it worked fine on my device without changing the MD5.

Many others have had problems with CWM before on other devices (which is why I Amon_RA made a recovery for the GN), but don't take my word for it: here is one thread for you anyway. There are many more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leobg:
In order MD5 check to not fail, directory where files are must be named exactly the way when backup was created (if you change the name of the backup directory (without using ROM Manager to rename it) MD5 always fails. ROM Manager can "rename" the backup without causing this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Ahhh... thank you for clarifying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnride:
Hi, could you re-reupload the file, the link is no longer valid and I can't find it anywhere else... :/

By the way, I'm looking for this ROM since my Galaxy Nexus is very unstable (crashes 5-10 times a day - have to remove battery). I tried the Yakju 1CL53f stock and I have the same troubles... I now think it is an hardware problem and I'll bring it back to shop.

Do any have had the same troubles?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Did you end up getting it from here?

Restore using clockwork mod

Hey everyone, first post here

I'm trying to get my flashed yakju 4.0.4 (unrooted) back to this yakjuux 4.0.1 (I'm on virgin mobile canada). When I send this zip to my phone using Wugfresh I get these lines.

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2

Checking MD5 sums...

MD5 mismatch!

Now I read above something about ROM Manager and whatever but didn't understand specifically what was being said (kind of new to this sort of thing). So if anyone could let me know what I could do to get this to work it'd be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a million
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) Why do you want to flash this?

2) Don't use toolkits.

3) Don't use CWM 5.8.0.2 -- use 5.5.0.2

4) You are getting that error because you probably changed the name of the folder. The folder name has to be the same for it to work. Otherwise, re-create the MD5, as was mentioned.

5) Don't forget that this is rooted with busybox installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonesk9:
1) I want to flash this because my front facing camera has stopped working correctly and am planning on sending it in for warranty

2) I was using it because it was easy

3) Sorry didn't know that was a bad version

4) I don't think I changed the name of anything in the zip file it just doesn't work (I did open the nandroid.md5 in notepad if that actually caused the problem)

5) I didn't know I need root in order to complete this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) Ok, better safe than sorry I guess, but others have returned their devices with yakju with no problems.

2) Easy way usually leads to problems :)

3) 5.5.0.2 is more stable.

4) You need to extract the contents of the zip, into a folder called 2011-12-21.18.22.20 and copy that folder to your clockworkmod/backup directory on your device.

5) No, you don't need root. What I was saying is that the backup posted already has root and busybox. If you want one without, try this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonesk9:
You sir are a champion, I was trying to get that restore to work, (the link you posted) previously and then found this. I have 2 questions now, and for some context this is the tutorial I used. Through this tutorial I changed my bootloader, now on that post it says to find a primekk15 bootloader. I downloaded the file posted and just flashed that bootloader.img through command prompt (didn't use the easy way :cowboy:). and I also flashed a stock recovery! I think everything's good now!

Really appreciate your help!

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Umm this is what my phones about phone options displays

Android Version: 4.0.2

Baseband Version: I9250UGKK7

Kernel version:

3.0.8-gaaa2611

android-build@apa28 #1

Build number:

ICL53F.I9250UGLA4

I hope that means I am finally finished and should be able to send it in for a warranty claim?

I know people have stories of sending in their phones that are unlocked and rooted but I am just trying to be careful!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I would also flash the UGLA4 radio (found in the radio thread). Then you should be good to go. (Don't forget to relock your bootloader if you haven't done so.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonesk9:
I am going to ask the possibly dumbest question to date on this forum, but when I flash a different radio that doesn't change which satelite I'm connected to (causing me to get possible roaming charges or something)? I'm just nervous about that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Cellular phones do not use satellites... :) Changing your radio firmware does not change anything related to roaming, etc.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Now the title is as what it seems.I've been posting a few threads now trying to prevent the games on my play from stuttering,which is a big problem right now as the framerate keeps dropping every few seconds.I've been given advice on unlocking my bootloader,using a SanDisk Class 4 memory card and even flashing a ROM..

What I want to know is that for those who aren't experiencing this,and their gaming experience is fine so far,to tell me which is the problem again here,the stock SD Card that I got from SE or the stock ROM and kernel,which I've already removed lots of bloatware?

Really need your help guys,I'm having no luck at all for 5 months straight now.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
There are games which stutter anyway because they're poorly programmed. For example, Fifa 12
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
I see,so there are some Xperia Play users who do experience the same thing then?Thankfully I wasn't the only one,but since almost every downloaded game that I've played stutters I don't know which ones run perfectly at all. :/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trygon:
The stock sd is a class 2. Get a class 6 or better, or use internal storage.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
I keep getting advice about using a class 4 memory card though.Which one's better?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
FIFA 12 never stutters on my phone. In fact its only Gameloft games that ever stutter on me, which we know are pushed out the door as fast as possible.

The Sandisk Class 4 32GB is the tested solution, a Class 6 may work as well, I don't know if better and very few if any have tested it, but DO NOT get a Class 10 as that is worse (for gaming).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Ok.Are you using a class 4 memory card?I would like a screenshot of it so I'm aware of what the card looks like,just to be sure.

My Desire got stuck in the Bootscreen of MIUI after updating it.

Reflashing the Backup, which was made just before updating, doesn't help, as reinstalling an older Firmware does.

I was able to install Cyanogenmod, but now all my SMS and MMS are gone, and, since I was, somehow, able to extract "MMSSMS.db" from my phone (opened in the editor I can read the sms) and now is my question, if it is somehow possible, to restore the SMS.

I still got the BackUp I made (with Clockworkmod)

I'd appreciate any help
