I don't know what measures google has taken to prevent fragmentation, but I think GB and ICS versions of apps might be different. But hey, if it works for you, why not? ;)

I don't think I see arabic or hebrew in the languages option. :confused: So, i'm not sure if RTL languages will render right everywhere in android (that includes apps in RTL). But Go keyboard DOES offer RTL languages. :)

Check the first post, will post it in a bit. :)

It depends on your baseband. I suggest using the KKA, but YMMV. Get a nandroid of your current setup and give it a try. If it has problems, you can start over from step 1. :D

I will try and upload more mirrors later tonight. Sorry for the trouble. :o

LA4 is newer than the KKA I recommend. So there is definitely no harm in trying. :p If you start having trouble with calls and GPS, you might have to start over from KKA. :)

any idea how to fix the SOD?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
I have a brand new International Galaxy Note and am about to start this ICS install.

Do I need to do some type of full backup of my present GB install before starting if for everwhat reason I want to return my Note back to 100% original stock install?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] m2b999:
YES, totally! You should backup you GB in case anything goes wrong after the successful flashing, like me... Do a CWM backup and you should be fine and add a RomToolbox or TitaniumBackup of your apps. Also, if you can do sms/mms/contact/calendar/pictures backup through myBackupPro or something similar, that would be great!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] entaro:
Hi,

I'm a noob, can you explain a little bit on the part "11. start your restore, and it will work." in the "##### Getting back to your old Ginger Bread ROM :" section...

How do I exactly start the restore? sorry for the noob question...

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] omrhsn:
Finally I had the nerve to give it a try. Now I'm enjoying the ICS. So far so good. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cc1961:
Thank you for a clear and very comprehensive guide. All worked well. The only hiccup was installing CWM, and the need to put one file in one folder. Otherwise, the main issue is the slow download of files. Thank you again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
But from what I understand, inorder to do a CWM backup, you need to root you device, If this is true, is there a way to do a complete backup before rooting?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] m2b999:
Yes, you have too. Sorry for the confusion, I thought you're already rooted.

So basically, you can do that before getting ICS. Follow this LINK and do step 2 "I Want ROOT + CWM".

Then, do a CWM back up and then continue from step 8. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fuzzled:
Unfortunately I had to revert back to GB. ICS kept having issues where my device would turn off by itself and then when rebooted would say "Android is updating # of # applications"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] m2b999:
Yah I have this issue too, but only on non-compatible apps I guess... But I'm gonna stick with it until next week hopefully with the official release of ICS!

my galaxy note stuck at the samsung logo , so i decide to get the stock rom back and redo everything. But in recovery mode ( volume up + home + power ) and select install zip from sd card , i press volume down 1 2 time the screen turn off and i can't install the zip ? HELP ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Try this. Remove your SIM and your micro sd. Transfer all the required files to your internal sd and start over from step 1. Some people are having problems because they choose to keep their current baseband which might not really work sometime. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Try this. Remove your SIM and your micro sd. Transfer all the required files to your internal sd and start over from step 1. :D

Relax. Your phone is fine. :) Is your battery dead. Just try booting into DL mode for a bit and hook it up to your charger. After some time, get back on cwm and try again. When you get on cwm menu don't use it for 5 minutes. It takes some time to recognize the sd. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sjhotwings:
let me try and get back , thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Don't worry about backups if it's a brand new device. Just write down your system info in 'about phone'. You can always download the corresponding stock ROM and flash it with ODIN. So, yeah, don't worry about backups now. Continue with the flashing. :)

Go to 'backups & restore' on main menu of the recovery and select 'restore' and then select the backup you want to restore to. :)

Good job buddy! :)

Hey you know how it's been lately. :D Megaupload wasn't the only site that shut down their operations. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sjhotwings:
battery is full, and i can get into recovery mode but i can't go down to install zip from sd card. The screen turn off by itself when i press down 1 2 times, then turn back on and back on top.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sjhotwings:
oh ? that work too ? i thought i have to get back to stock and do everything again lol. you said get it in DL mode ? what i have to do once i'm in DL mode ? thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr. xp55:
btw acidburn, thanks a lot for this guide. it really worked. i fixed that the hiccup i had before with the pc not recognizing my note after flashing to stock rom and not being able to root, with flashing an already pre-rooted kj1. then i tried doing things my one way, by flashing the cf-9220 kernal with odin (not the cf repack) (i wanted to be on a different ics rom), but still had problems. in the end i followed your guide through and through, and got everything working. so whoever is having any problems, just follow this guide all the way through. very helpful. and never going back to GB :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
You will have to flash the stock KKA. lol. Look up the guide. Start from step 3. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Thanks for the appreciation bro! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr. xp55:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apedropais:
Hi!! Can you tell me where you found the information about solving this annoying issue? I always thought baseband files were not changed when updating roms!

I own a note and an atrix. I'm kind romaholic with atrix, flashed all different kinds of roms and since I left stock rom or it's variations, that s@#%& (sorry) started to happen. I searched everywhere about this and the only thing I founded was similar discriptions of the problem. And it's terrible because I can't trust it to be my main phone, it keeps randomnly shutting down!!! (sorry again for this outflow)

That's why I left the note untouched, didn't even rooted it!

So here comes my second question, now to you, brave ones (haha) that are now on ics: are you having unexpected shut downs since flashing ics; and to the ones that are having this problem, have you succeeded in getting rid of this issue with acid's instructions?

Thanks everybody.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chitapa:
Thank you

Followed your instructions and now enjoying ICS on Note.

Thanks a lot!

Your instructions are very clear.

Minor issues:

Digital Clock and Torch are not working.

So I just use other widgets from market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I may give this a go... can I ask first:

Does this have S-Memo and S-Planner?

Can you take screenshots and edit them using the stylus method built into the samsung GB ROM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a43:
Great! Thanks a lot!

Yes, S Memo and S Planner persists and working just fine. Screenshot taking and editing is working with S Pen as usual.

Btw, Is it normal, that now my device name is not N7000, but GT-l9220?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
I don't have any problems at all with random shutdowns and I have been using this ROM for 4 days now. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Enjoy! :) And please hit the thanks button if you liked what i did. :D

Yes, the S-Pen apps work just fine, including screenshots that can be edited. :D

Yes, it is normal. :) Since this is a repackaged leak for Chinese Galaxy Notes, it shows up as GT-i9220. :D GT-i9220 is the model number for Chinese Notes. I think they have different model numbers because China uses a different technology for 3G (CDMA). :) And, please hit the thanks button if you like your ICS. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] omrhsn:
Second day after flashing the rom and everything is working just fine apart from the text message notifications. Whenever I get a message, the notification bar icon shows but not the ringtone! Tried to change the ringtone and still no luck. Email, Facebook, Twitter are all okay though. Anyone else having the same issue? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a43:
Thanks a lot!

Sure, bro! Already hit the button. Everything seems to work fine. I got my ICS for few hours now :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
I have been reading many ICS threads and I think that the "Fully functional" part is a bit of .... wishful thinking?:rolleyes:

Anyhow, Criskelo just released his ICS rom for the Note and I am going to give it a try this evening...

Mirrors on the next page

All the upload mirrors are overloaded over there...download is taking a looooong time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
May be it's wishful thinking, but if it works for everything you're doing I don't see why it can't be called fully functional? :D The criskelo ROM looks like it's based off of chainfire's ZCLP1 repack with the XXLP1 baseband. So essentially it's the same ROM. Only when new drivers (or an android update) are included in a ROM can it improve the 'functionality', per se. Userland tweaks can always be performed by the user, at his/herown discretion. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
You need to disable the vibration function. Turn the silent mode to off and reboot the phone once. This is a known bug :( You can only get ring or vibrate at one time. But hopefully it won't ruin your experience that much. :)

Nice! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a43:
Swype

Go Keyboard is awesome, thanks for suggestion. But I get used to original Samsung swype. somebody got it to work fine on ics? I've tried beta.swype.com but the installer thinks I'm a tablet so the layout of final keyboard is so small and unusual :)

Ok ...trying this before flashing Criskelo;s;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Hold on. I'm running TeamRocket ICS v1.5beta right now and it seems to be working great. I think I might have to update the guide for Rocket ROM. :D

Btw, it uses the cf-root kernel with XXLP1 baseband. Just like criskelo's but better, I think. It also comes with two lauchers, stock ICS icons and some cool UI customizations. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
BTW, go keyboard also has swype operation. I have tried it and it works great. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
Well I am running it for a while, even installed the modded swype for Note/ics and everything is fine.

The only issue so far is that after I restored a titanium backup (made on GB -user apps only) and no probs after restore but all the time I reboot a window pops up: Android upgrade - optimizing apps

I already rebooted a couple of times, but the same pop-up appears always delaying start up.

Let's see if Criskelo's ICS Rom fixes it......

EDIT: False alarm...I restored something that I shouldn't ....Factory reset and now going slower on the restoring
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] omrhsn:
I managed to get the sms notifications back. Thanks for the tip. All my apps are running perfectly and some seem to run smoother than on GB :D. I'm only missing readit later. It just crashes everytime I try to run it. Any good alternatives?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Nope, that's a true alarm. :D The Android is upgrading screen shows up every time but it only shows "optimizing apps x of y". That's OK with me. :D BUT I have been playing with TeamRocket ICS 1.5 beta 2 for 5 or so hours. Quite disappointed because a lot of apps crash during user input (s-pen, keyboard). :( It also has random graphical glitches in Gallery and the screen blinks *every* time I hit the power button. I think I am going back to cf repack.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
search for "RSS readers" on Market. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
Some users moved from teamrocket to Criskelo ICS and they are quite pleased,but on criskelo I was missing s-planner for instance; but maybe I messed up something

Give it a try
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xecut:
Apart from other problems, anyone getting SoDs?

I just want to make sure before flashing this:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Downloading right now. Will let you know about how it works.

Edit. My battery is almost dead, so it's probably gonna be a few more hours until I can try this out.

Nope. There is no reason why you will get SoD's if you do everything right. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
I'm running criskelo beta 1 right now and it seems to be working good. :D I didn't see a S Planner but I don't remember seeing it in previous ICS builds either. :confused: Anyways, would you happen to know any resources I could use to get into ROM development?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xecut:
I have many questions to ask :p

does it comes with the tw launcher?

if so, Samsung Apps all built in?

I've got XXLA6 in my SGnote...and I've read through this post and I think there are bugs with XXLA6..(if i didn misread)..So does KKA gives the most stable ICS rom for now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] entaro:
Acidburn, you flashed it over the ICS repack? If you don't mind, can you share the steps in brief...

I'm on rocket 1.5 now and would prefer to just flash over it...

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Loftus:
Keep reading... ;)

(kka is Gingerbread)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
Yes, it comes with TW launcher. You are currently on an un-rootable ROM (XXLA6) so you have to start from the beginning. And I'm using KKA because it has the KK5 baseband which has proved to be stable for a lot of here. :D

Edit. btw, did you flash rocket 1.4 before 1.5? Because that is the correct procedure. If you followed the correct procedure, tell me, are you getting a lot of force closes coz that's what I was getting on rocket 1.5.?

Well, criskelo explicitly states that you need to flash his ROM *over* a clean install of the chainfire repack mentioned in this thread. So, you can either go the red-pill recovery method to go back to (rooted) GB cwm backup and try flashing ICS with Mobile ODIN *or* if you would like to have the recommended KK5 baseband, start over from step 1. * BUT * I have been running criskelo's ROM for a while now (~6 hours) and i'm getting bad battery life, bad reception and random force closes. So proceed at your own risk. I have personally decided to go back to chainfire repack for now. But feel free to give it a shot. Getting back is easy enough. :D

Some good advice there mate! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] entaro:
For rocket rom, I follow the instruction to the letter, rooted GB -> CF repack -> 1.4 -> 1.5, wipe where necessary and did set up the google account in 1.4 prior to flashing 1.5... not much force close, only sometimes the XDA premium apps force close because I used it the most ;) In fact no SOD at all as well running perfect, however, for me the issue is with battery drain... using betterbatterystats to find the culprit and apparently there were 2 kernel wakelocks which were not known until now....

Now I don't have too much drain on idling at all. :D Btw, I don't get why there are kernel wake-locks? :confused: chainfire, rocket and criskelo are *all* running cf-root 5.2.

Don't rush into things like these... you will most certainly end up with a brick.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
I don't think there is any new (official) ROM that blocks your access to download mode. And as long as you can get into the download mode, you can flash the Note with an older, rootable ROM like KKA. Just follow the guide from step 1. You can stop after you have root.

Yeah true i am new to this forum and to all the root and rom stuff , but i am trying to learn :)
