[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schnizel:
Hello darkelfa2,

The Samsung Galaxy Note is called N7000 or i9220.

Those are surely the same.

I've googled but the Galaxy N700 does not exist.

This is a mistake of the salesman.

If you want to go sure, that you're buying the right model, give a look at this:

amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Unlocked-Android-Smartphone/dp/B0061YRDX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326991931&sr=8-1

Sorry for my bad english...

Schnizel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkelfa2:
thanks for the fast reply,

so, you mean that n7000's roms 100% work on the i9220 and vice versa? is that right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schnizel:
n7000 = i9220, so yes :)

i9220 is the prototype of n7000. all galaxy note's that can bought are surely N-7000

but i9220 can be seen as an alternative description/product code.

So, yes all Roms for i9220 ARE working on N-7000 and all N-7000 Roms an a i9220.

xD
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabo2000:
be careful i have a i9220 and it is not a note it does not have an S-pen which is what i wanted in the note, but, as far as the rom's i am not sure about that if they are compatable i would like to know so i can buy an S-pen and try to see if this will work on it:confused::(:D
[About XDA developers] MeetFace:
I've been a member for over a year and been fairly active in the Epic 4G forum.

It has been my experience that a myriad of questions are constantly re-asked & re-answered by ROM devs and other little elves b/c people are too lazy to search/read-back the threads, or are simply too daunted by 10's & 100's of pages of posts.

This has become a problem to the point where on a couple different occassions we created off-site Wikis just to help redirect people to answers to common problems. The problem with this is people have to be told each time..."Go to the Wiki [here]". It would be grand if you would enable Wiki-posts. It would allow each thread to have its own little ecosystem so that Devs wouldn't have to micro-manage & update OP with Q&A on every little bug, the little guys could keep it up to snuff. It's a great way to crowd-source troubleshooting. I've seen it successfully done on a number of threads.

What's more, I believe the OP can disable it if he prefers not to have one.

Thanks for listening!
[About XDA developers] lufc:
Xda has a WIKI for all devices granted some pages need updating so i doubt the Admin will enable wiki in posts
[About XDA developers] MeetFace:
Very aware of the XDA Wiki, in fact, we are using it at the moment (albeit it, somewhat unsuccessfully).

One advantage of in-thread Wiki is that it's all right there, right below the OP, right after all the other instructions. EVERYONE sees it, instead of a link to another page.

Another advantage is that it's generally easier for people to edit the in-thread wiki posts than an actual Wiki-page (I know neither is difficult, but this comes from my experience helping to maintain a ROM-devoted Wiki).

As far as the drawbacks of in-thread Wikis, perhaps spam, or it being forced after the initial Post?

I'd like to throw the idea around. I know it would help troubleshooting/Q&A in the forums I participate in, thought I'd throw it out there in case others would be interested.

Thanks!

P.S. Thanks for moving my thread (and shame on my for not reading the forum descriptions more closely)
[About XDA developers] vita10gy:
I second this. It's borderline vital in long development threads. The off thread wiki doesn't do a whole lot of good if the link to that wiki needs to be hunted for, same as everything else.
[About XDA developers] || Acer ||:
Too bad the wiki doesn't even work on my computer...I think it's something with my wifi but idk.
[About XDA developers] syco123:
Years on and this is still something I wish we had on this forum. In thread wikis are essential, especially on a website as big as this with threads that run for hundreds of pages. When you come to a thread months or years after it started, the OP is often irrelevant, and the links broken. It's not reasonable to expect someone to read hundreds of pages in a forum thread to find out what the current situation is.

So people ask the same questions, over and over. Eventually people get annoyed and stop answering, and just say the ever unhelpful "go read". I'm always willing to read and learn. But wading though tons of outdated data doesn't have to be a necessity. A simple thread wiki post would make this so much easier. If you're not familiar with the concept SlickDeals.net has one (it's available to every thread but not always used). A deal is posted, people chime on on how to improve the deal. The thread may go one for a few pages, but the wiki means you can get all the relevant info in one place. The info from the OP can change, the OP doesn't have to answer basic questions over and over, or any questions. Another person can take over the thread and keep it relevant.

I checked out this wiki https://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung but it's not updated. So why not a wiki post, it's right where people are looking for the info, so more likely to remain relevant and updated.

Years on from this OP and still no in-thread wiki post? Any reason why?

I'm a PHP developer, and have been for more than a decade, if any techs want to talk more about this, I'd be happy to chat.
[About XDA developers] MeetFace:
My favorite is when people start belly aching and go on a tirade if a newcomer hasny read the entire thread. 1/4 of which is people asking for ETAs, and the other 1/4, people getting pissed at people asking for ETAs. Like they are getting brownie points from the Dev or something X^D

I have wasted so many people's time because I've had to ask questions that have been covered a billion times. I've also had tips/tricks get buried and never come to light again which is a shame.

XDA is all about development and progression, and yet the absence of a wiki post prevents a lot of knowledge from being readily available and wastes Devs time.
[Hardware Hacking General] eharting:
I've looked all over for info regarding this but I've come up sorta empty handed. I'm working on a charging dock for my Samsung Stratosphere and I was wondering if anyone had any information on the USB pinout? I'm pretty sure pin 1 is generally +5V and pin 5 is generally GND, I'm lost on the center pins though. I've checked pinout.ru and they have info on most other models, just not mine.

I'd like to expand on the idea after completing the charger on the Stratosphere. Think of it as a proof of concept

Thanks!
[Hardware Hacking General] psytr0nic:
Center pin = Pin 3 ( right or lift ) is phone Tx pin , necessary for data transfert ...

best way to get is to find a SERvice manual , but I google about it, without find .......
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
So the five pins are all USB. Four are the normal ones, power, ground, Data plus, Data minus. The last pin is the trick it is the id pin. That is what tells your phone what is being connected and what mode to be in.

(This was a link to Wikipedia but I can't post. Go to Wikipedia, USB then Physical Appearance)

There is a list of the connector and its pinout. In a dock you need to make sure to connect at least power and ground. Now to get it to charge is difficult. The simplest thing that a lot of manufacturers do is short the Data plus and Data minus to signal that a charger is connected. Other phones out a precise resistor value between the ID pin and ground (or power) to signal what they are being connected to. this is something that you are going to need to do some research on.

There are apps that do this. Just remember to BACK UP your EFS folder. Like back it un phone and computer and w/e other place. If your EFS folder gets jacked up you probably lost your IMEI and you will need to send to to someone to rebuild it.

My phone's rooted. I've read almost every thread trying to resolve my problem. I restored it to stock firmware, tried overclocking it and still no luck of resolving my screen from blacking out and leaving just the buttons lighting up. Like the other thread, i just pull out my battery to fix things but it's quite irritating to do that everytime. It happens almost 5 times a day at a random time. Can someone please help me resolve this? I'm not using any custom rom or anything.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
which ROM u r using??

Optimus one

CM 6.5.8

Press THANKS if I helped...

I'm just using a stock firmware from a thread here on how to restore to stock firmware without kdz update. I'm a noob to android so i don't know how to put any ROM yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nelrak:
If you use stockROM Froyo (2.2.X) your problem could be solve with an update to Gingerbread (2.3.3). Other causes are poor quality microsd or modified kernel (i.e. Unofficial CM)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] nelrak:
For stockROM I use KDZ Firmware Updater, for custom ROMs you need root and install a custom recovery, then, you can install any custom ROM.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] loserkid520:
Can you get me a link on those roms or tutorial? I'm still a noob at android.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
As your phone is rooted..

1. install ROM manager from market and install recovery from it... make sure you select the correct phone

2. DO NOT CHOOSE TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA ROM MANAGER OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK...

3. If you are on gingerbread then you are using new baseband otherwise on froyo its old..

4. go to optimus one development section and choose the stable ROM according to your baseband..

5 download it and place it on sd card

6. Also download GAAPS and place it on sd card

7. turn off the phone and boot into recovery by holding home+ volume down+ power and hold then until you see recovery

8. use volume keys to navigate in recovery, back to go back and menu key to make selection

9. now wipe data/ factory reset,

wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats..(last two are under advanced options)

also go to mount and storage and format system if you want perfectly clean install

10. now choose install zip from sd card and choose the ROM you downloaded... let it complete and after that reboot phone

11. first boot will take time.. don't panic.. after it is started again boot into recovery and install GAAPS to get market and other google apps.. reboot and you are ready to go..

NOTE:- NEVER FLASH 2 ZIPS WITHOUT REBOOTING

NEVER DO FACTORY RESET FROM PHONE WHILE USING CUSTOM ROM.. DO IT FROM RECOVERY..

I hope this will do..

Optimus one

CM 6.5.8

[Desire Themes and Apps] TVTV:
Example: how to fix the "subsequent row bug" in MrLuje's port of Quick Settings.

1) Decompile SystemUI.apk;

2) Go to "<yourAPKtoolfolder>/SystemUI/res/layout/" and open "status_bar_preference.xml" with the text editor of your choice;

3) Find the line below:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.preference.PreferenceView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_item_background" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="[B][COLOR="Red"]wrap_content[/COLOR][/B]" [...]

4) Edit the value of "layout_height=" from "wrap_content" to "48.5dip";

5) Recompile the APK, push to "/system/app" and voila, bug gone.

For those who don't know/haven't noticed the bug i'm talking about, if you very quickly touch a setting's row in the Quick Settings panel, the subsequent row becomes enlarged and ruins the layout. My finding is if you force the rows to have a fixed value instead of leaving their value "at the discretion of Android", the bug disappears.

Explanation: "dip" means "density-independent pixel". As the Android Developers page defines it:
[Desire Themes and Apps] wally80:
Hi TVTV,

Nice tutorial! Thanks.

Regarding the example, I'm going to point to your new systemui in the OP of my ROM, if you don't mind.

I am currently using the good old superfast coolbravoS_v10 and the small bug you noticed is also there.

Anyway, I would have never noticed it, if you wouldn't have told in my rom thread! :-)

You are a real perfectionist!

Cheers,

Wally
[Desire Themes and Apps] TVTV:
Hello, Wally!

Sure, point away, no problem! :)

About the perfectionism, what can i say? When you work some long years in the business of desktop publishing, you unwillingly develop an OCD-like attention to details. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] raafaell:
great!

That's why the app I modded wasn't working, thanks sir, ill try it when I get home, I was using the com.framework-res.apk only, thanks again.
[Desire Themes and Apps] TVTV:
Glad to help! :)

When decompiling apps, if you are missing some required framework file/s (some packages have more than one dependency), APKTool will return this error: "Can't find framework resources for package of id: [PACKAGE ID]. You must install proper framework files, see project website for more info". In this case you must locate the package with the required ID and install it as framework.

How to find out package IDs? Well, i do it by trial and error. I have noticed that when you install a package as framework, APKTool installs it as a number (e.g. if you install com.htc.resources.apk, APKTool will say "I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\*\apktool\framework\2.apk; if you install SystemUI.apk, it will install it as 127.apk etc.). That number represents the package's ID. I just keep installing various packages from /system until i find the one of the required ID. If anybody knows of an easier way, please do tell. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Droidzone:
Good resource, thanks for taking the time to explain all this in a simple way.
[Desire Themes and Apps] TVTV:
Hmm. I can see that you're using an ICS ROM w/Sense 3.6. APKTool has not yet been updated to work with the ICS SDK, that's why you're getting those error messages. Thus it shouldn't be used for editing ICS-related packages. Hang tight, the guys behind APKTool will certainly update it soon.

L.E. - There seems to be a workaround for editing SystemUI on ICS, but there are no guarantees as to the outcome. Take a look at this thread and read the OP and NilsP's posts.
