[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] fikhl:
I'd say Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.

Dual core, better camera, 4GB internal storage, 768MB of RAM, higher resolution display...

That's a pretty nice upgrade from Gio if you ask me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
But you still dont get ics from samsung, better wait for nrw devices that come out with it, as within a year more apps will be ics only, and yoyr GB is going to be outdated, and you dont have amazing developers to bring cm9 to your device, as far as I know..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] fikhl:
I'm pretty sure that It'll get ICS update from Samsung. Just like Gio, which came with Froyo but later on Samsung released Gingerbread for it. So that shouldn't be a concern...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
better be sure about that, why wpuldnt they ship it with 4.0 out of the box?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] fikhl:
Yep it's really annoying to see phones coming out in 2012 with Gingerbread! And that's the problem with Samsung. Even Galaxy S Advance which can be considered a high-end device is stuck with gingerbread at launch!

I'm going to keep my beloved Gio for a few more months, and I suggest every Gio owner do the same. Hopefully by the time We're going to get a new phone it's already updated to ICS. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Billchen0014:
Last year I had a gio then I bought the nexus s and it's so good!

oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
maybe 5.0 comes out when lower end devices with 4.0 out of the box are shipped :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
This. I've wanted this since it came out, but as I have no means of income of my own, and rely on others to pay my Super Tab... (that is what the Virgin Mobile one's called, right?)

But, yeah. Next phone is going to officially support ICS for sure.

Miui V4 (all flavours) buggy as hell @ the moment. Wait a few weeks/stick to GB for now.

Guys, tell me how I can clean list of "Not Installed" apps because I uninstalled these apps long ago and I don't want to see it there.
[Android General] AlcoholicDoc:
Unfortunately, you can't.

Amazon's app store has that capability, but google didn't build it into theirs. :(
[Android General] Hummingbird_E:
That mean when i use the "AUTOMATIC RESTORE" function on my phone, the phone will automatically install "ALL" apps i accepted before?

:eek:
[Android General] ambrish7:
No, it depends on if you set the backup to restore when setting up the ROM...

If you don't then it would just take you to the Play / Market where you can go to My Apps and install the ones you purchased first before re-installing the others. (The above only applies if you don't back up your apps using Titanium or other such apps).
[Android General] gascomm:

If you install a stock Rom, you'll lose both your CWMR and root, unless you do it using Mobile Odin.

I must've skimmed the OP, hence the inappropriate reply.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2000:
Thanks for your reply, but your guide is about cwm manager, but not cwm recovery.

What about cwm recovery, can I update rom and keep root and cwm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You need cwm from cf, with stock recovery can't flash any rom.

You are rooted already then get cwm first.

You said to keep cwm, means u have it, stock recovery can't b erased. Stock recovery hav limited set of function. I believe u have still confusion in understanding cwm, just read more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3TALLICA:
I think you can not install stock rom with cwm recovery. But you can restore backups.

There is difference between CWM - its and application which can be opened when you boot in the phone, and CWM Recovery - you can access it without/before booting in the phone.

Sorry if my answer is wrong.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2000:
Totally right. Thanks :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
CWM recovery OR better term is stock recovery, which exist on all device(inbuilt stock function), which can be access with Vol up + Power + Home

This have limites set of function, Just wipe cache, n wipe data.

Niether stock Nor custome ROM can be flashed

Nither backup Nor Restore is possible with it.

For this fuction, you need to have CWM application, which can available only if you have your device rooted. If tou have flash CWM, then you can access it with same method(three keys), but menu will be more advanced.

Hope it should be clear Now.

n7000 stock android with cwm installed

Hello there,

I wanted to install kitkat on my note1, n7000. I rooted the phone with philz cwm6 ddlsc. Everything went good. I then tried to install the kitkat 4.4.4 and it keeps giving an error and does not install. Later doing some research i figured i need a version of 6.4 and above of cwm in order to install 4.4.4. So I decided to leave all this and go back to stock 4.1.2. I did not unfortunately create a backup. Now that im trying to install it through odin the stock android, odin does not detect the phone. I have wiped off cache, user data and dalvik cache. Everytime the phone is booted it goes to cwm menu.

Please help me install the stock android and remove cwm/root.

Your help is much appreciated.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Although this is the note 1 forum but yes usually that's how it works. If you backed it up using cwm, then restoring should also work. You will need to do a factory reset 1st.

READ: For installs to ICS and JB, please read my thread located in my sig. - "Other splashs." The install instructions on this page WILL fail you should you do them. Things have changed since Gingerbread. Thanks.

Umbrella Corporation Login splash&boot.

Let me know what you think. I did the pictures, text and build the bootanimation. Thanks is at the end of this post.

Attention: This will ONLY work if you are on a kernel that has not given you the yellow triangle on your splash screen.

SPLASH

Just flash the .zip in CWM as usual.

BOOTANIMATION

Attention: Rename to bootanimation.zip, not flashable.

Copy the bootanimation into /data/local and, or /system/media. - This animation will "flash" between blank logo and saying "Authorization granted by: The Red Queen" - Those times when our Note's are slow at booting, it will switch to a loop of "Loading enviroment. -> . -> . (...)" (For the most it will just stop after flashing "Authorization granted by: The Red Queen" once. That's about 3 secs.. I have no time to test, lol. Tried for an hour. :D Never get to the looped part1. :P

Well, you can use the bootscreen I just added. It says "Authorization granted by: The Red Queen" :)

Do you have the yellow triangle when you start the phone? If no, then you can flash the CWM.

Great work Man,

How did you create the lfs file with a custom JPEG ?

Can you please publish the method ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] CuraeL:
I found a thread in here, a while ago. Some guy followed a guide.. And he made a odin flash for manual replacement of "logo_q1", and then a CWM.zip with a logo_q1 file inside, for replacement. I dunno how he did them.. I just released that empty folder.. I will see if I can find the thread and post it. There was no guide, but maybe he knows. It was a very short thread.

I'm going to look inside the .zip, the script might be easy to read.. Anyways, I will look into it and see where he found this method..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] CuraeL:
If that happens, try reboot into CWM again, fladh the file once more.. If it doesn't work, locate the logo file and push the new one in there, while you have the draw fail. I used Odin to flash an empty file and then replace the file in root explorer, then i found the CWM file, and it worked just as well. Sorry for the inconvenience mate.

Hi, i am using the MidNote rom 1.5, i followed your instruction of placing the "bootanimation.zip" file into /system/media

than i flashed via CWM the "ssgn_custom_param_lfs_cwm.zip" file, when rebooting i get the same fail draw msg.

i than tried using root explorer to manually put the logo file into the /mnt/.lfs folder,

reboted still same fail to draw msg...i noticed everytime i reboot, the file inside the /mnt/.lfs folder goes missing.

what did i do wrong?

thanks for any help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] CuraeL:
That does sound rather odd. :s Hm.. I don't know. If you put in the logo file into the folder, it should work. Just as for me and the others. :O Pretty weird. The file is read as it boots. Makes no sense to me that it disappears after a boot. It shouldn't do that.. See if it stays after just the copy. :) - It seems to be a problem with the pasting of the file.. :) But it sounds too weird it doesn't stay.

Well, since I got this file from another thread, and it worked I decided to use it myself. - Since you're having troubles, I will tell you what I think the param file is about.. I simply think it replaces some values that makes it possible to remove the logo file.. And in CWM, replace it automatically.. How ever.. A few others have had luck with using the Odin.tar file. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474753 Download it here.. Instead. :) The Odin one.. Flash it.. Then paste the logo file manually after that. Let's see if that works. If it doesn't, try another root browser.. maybe the free one included in "Rom toolbox" from market. :) Free app. :) Great browser, that's the one I'm using. :) But try flashing the odin file from that other thread I posted. It's the first download in the OP. :) The CWM file is similar to mine, just with another pic in it, so I wouldn't count on that one neither. :) Give it a go! Good luck mate! Hope it works out! :)

I restored the original splash screen file from the original thread..when booting the "samsung Galaxy Note GT-N700" does come on correctly...and when i use root explorer to check what is in the restored /mnt/.lfs folder it is empty. So, I think even the original samsung logo file is located in some other folder but i really dont know which folder it is....if i can get that folder, putting the logo-q1.jpeg file in that particular folder might make it work....well i'll keep searching.

You're welcome. Is wasn't much I did, tho.

I once had a splashscreen with all my info on it. Simply because a simple mugger wouldn't be able to remove the bootsplash as easily as my bootanimation. ;) So if it got stolen, at least no1 he would sell it to would dare buy it cause of the info that didnt match theirs. ;) Or he would get it right in his face whenever he turned it on. :P Techniconscious. :P

I think what you should do is search for ssgn_original_param_lfs_cwm.zip from the original thread.

Downlaod it and place it on external memory card.

Than reboot into recovery, flash the original lfs zip file.

Than you need to remove the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media. And you should be good.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] CuraeL:
Hello guys. ICS Stunner has issues with obtaining "proper" root. This means it says it has root, but doesn't keep it under the flash. This means you cannot flash this file or use root explorer to manually replace files inside system folder. I was on Stunner myself, and simply reflashed it 3 times, I kept losing proper root, and flashed AOKP instead, root was kept, and have had no issues since then.

Sorry, the file isn't bugged, neither are the methods. You simply need root to access system folder. So does CWM. Root, root, root. :)

Sorry guys. The Stunner thread has a lot of ways to root, sadly, they all involve wiping your device. Good luck, have fun.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Madcow29:
Thx for your reply, can u tell me how to test if i am proper rooted or not? And can u also tell me how to restore the original one?

Sent from my Stunner Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] CuraeL:
Hello again. Yes, this is sadly a bit of a problem.

First off you need to use root explorer application to try and copy a jpg or a simple txt file into your /system folder. Or mnt/lfs folder. :)

Reboot system and then see if the file is still there. :)

If it is, you have root. If not.. Then you don't.

This sadly also means, if you havn't got root, you can't copy a new picture OR the old samsung one back into the folder either. :/ Only way to achieve a splash restore is to aquire proper root again. :/

The old Samsung Note splash is somewhere in the linked xda-thread in the first post. :)

Good luck once more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Madcow29:
I have tried your method to test if it is rooted...

Copied the image to / system, after restart it is still there, but copied to mnt/lfs the file disappeared after restart...
