No I have no deleted android.secure from my sdcard.. Should I?

I'll give that a try. I'll let you know :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xos84292:
If you come form 2.3 or LP1, flash the LP5 repack first.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] darkinners:
is that "14media" ? Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
I first tried coming from 4.2, and 4.4 and had this issue. So I tried flashing LP1 repack, and I'm on 4.5 coming from that now.

I'm just rebooting now after flashing both caches. If this doesn't work I'll first make a backup and give that a shot. <strike>Mobile Odin should be fine for flashing LP5 right?</strike> Then re-flash ICS Stunner 4.5?

CF seems to think this is a pretty risky flash himself: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577741
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
yeah....noooo....no do not flash the lp5 repack or it will flash a new bootloader and basically your f*cked.

okay not f*cked...but it would be a real pain to get back to anything worthwhile and you are stuck with that bootloader going forward...so you would have to deal with that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
Didn't work :(

Shall I try deleting android.secure?

Haha yea once I read that post I definitely developed a bad feeling about it :P

How is it that ICS Stunner can update to the LP5 kernel without touching the bootloader then?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Yeah...do delete android.secure with the cache and dalvik wipe...see how she goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
Since I did not flash 4.4 this is the firstI see the new updater script! Nice job! Very clever :D

And @Neo, amazing job as always, flashed couple of hours ago and everything is running perfectly!

Thanks again mate :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Because you can isolate and just pull the modem and kernel from the package itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
.android_secure you mean?

as in: root/sdcard/.android_secure
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
yessir!

yes @root/sdcard/.android_secure

That will allow the file system to generate a new one....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
Did you try to delete Media Storage data in Settings > All Apps?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] darkinners:
Ok Neo, I deleted the "14media" under /etc/init.d/

1. reboot the phone = bootloop

2. clear cache->clear dalvik cache ->no more bootloop -> going to "android is upgrading" screen, numbers are counting -> numbers counted->stuck in "starting applications." forever.

suggestions?

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

not yet but I will try after I fixed the bootloop problem, Thanks man
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
Oh nice! Never knew that before! :)

Still doesn't work :'(

Maybe worth noting: under sync settings, and under my account I don't see any option for sync Play store.. This normal?

@neo I did notice that even though I'm on ICS Stunner 4.5, device settings have not been moved to general settings. And are still within Euphoria Control..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Okay...here is an idea....were you on v4.4? prior to coming to 4.5?

There is no "sync play store"

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Okay....when you get booted up....check in your external sd for a file called lost.dir. Check and see if it is the biggest file there. Try deleting it and then rebooting. It is a longshot but that file never really dies and it stores bits and pieces of files that might be causing media scanner to run long time...you know...trying to make sense of it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hamma:
same here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] darkinners:
yes I know that, I always clear up the lost.dir in bother internal and external SD, make sure they are empty, so this is not the case.

anyway I re-flashed 4.5 and bootloop is gone. I am gonna take the bold move to freeze the google music, see if the mediascannerservice wakelock will gone.

I have a great hunch that the google music produce that mediaserver infinite loop

thanks for your help man :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
I've tried coming from 4.2, 4.4 and am currently coming from ICS LP1 repack (all caused this problem of not being able to purchase apps on the Play Store).

And nope!

(Sorry bout the huge pic..)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xos84292:
Flash the CF LP5 repack.

Use PC to do than.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] needachange:
Hi guys, now I'm using beta 4.3.

Thanks for all the help.

Just wanted to know how we can take screenshots in this rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Try pressing volume down and power buttons simultaneously. It takes a couple of tries though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sutekidane:
vol down and power at the same time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ryomakun:
above me , flash lp5 repack? that will change your bootloader, n cant back to GB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
Don't think it's really worth it...

Too risky, and nothing good has really been said about playing with the bootloader for a slightly newer kernel.

@tremerone: when flashing LP1 via mobile odin, that plays with the bootloader correct? Or is the only time the bootloader is altered is when flashing with PC Odin (including if I flashed LP1 via PC Odin)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ultra99:
By modem you mean kernel?

Where can I find it that specific one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Nope. By Modem, he means modem. And furthermore says "not included in the rom".

You can flash either ICS or GB modems, all of them work. Find them here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
No by modem he means modem. The new kernel is flashed when you flash the ROM.

The kernel is already LP5, but the modem is LP1 at the moment.

I'm still running LP1 modem and it's been great.

Never mind chasmodo beat me to it ;)

But I too would like to know where to find new modems
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hamma:
I´m on 4.5 and Baseband says LP5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] HumanoidTalking:
Very Specifically its here (LP5 Modem), if Mobile Odin does not recognize zip file, extract it somewhere and press "Modem" and Navigate to extracted "Modem.bin" file.. Once selected press "Flash firmware", it will reboot and let Odin do its work

Would it not be better to flash a XXLP5 (if it exists) instead of the ZCLP5 if you don't live in China or Hong Kong
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
We don't know because we've haven't seen a XXLP5 radio yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] HumanoidTalking:
I dont Think many of us live in China, but we use latest software, regardless of where it is issued for. Since Chinese version is not fully stable and for international SG Note. Devs are taking/ developing/ tweaking the same for our use. Chairfire repacked it for Devs/us and Devs like Neobuddy & Team added to it, to present a workable/ stable ROM

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

I cant comment on Battery Life as many factors are there, for example atleast 1-2 full charge and drain, background processes/ apps running, use

What i can confirm is that

1. no SODs sofar (Modem LP5) and

2. slightest of lag on unlock/ app loading BUT again i did "Dirty Installation" and many apps running in background.

3. Camera pic + video works

4. 3G works

5. Since it re-zipalign apps, boot takes sightly more time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] raitospk:
Thx for advice. so you mean it will work for those in GB to flash stunner 4.3 without the ics repack right? (i mean flash with abyss 3.9)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
Did you flash your new modem using PC or Mobile Odin. Should it really matter in the amount or cause of SODs?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] HumanoidTalking:
I used Mobile Odin Pro 2.30(worth Buying), well if you dont have SODs, No need to flash this modem,

I find it odd that nobody is concerned with the gps. 3 sats at best. Slow lock times..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Sillumjai:
Anybody else notice that it takes a while for pictures to appear in gallery and for music to appear when stored in /mnt/emmc? Pics stored on /sdcard and from Google appear straight away. Sometimes it can take 2 mins, other times 5 mins.

Other than that, runs quite smooth, noticeably more than 4.3, on Apex launcher.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Sillumjai:
Also noticed that MediaScanerService is running in Partial wakelocks (27min/ 85%). Could it be trying to find the files on /mnt/emmc? Not sure if this is a bug or normal for Aosp/Aokp rooms. Never had this issue with v4.3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ranafram:
I found the only way to update was to attempt to restore a GB NANDroid backup, so it would reload that kernel. Then reboot into cwm again and install 4.5..

A really round about way but it works.

Although I found that sometimes I'd loose screen sensitivity so I would flash stock GB NANDroid backup so its only my kernel, reboot, install Stunner 4.5 (which wouldn't perform well), flash ICS LP1 repack (via mobile Odin), then through cwm flash 4.5 again and now I'm golden :)

Just can't use CWM again otherwise I find everything becomes slightly laggy.

I've already tried that, without any luck. This app seems to only call the android media scanner. So it's not an alternative media scanner.

When opening the app, nothing happens. (with or without auto close)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiochasylum:
It just needs to be a mindset, when flashing new/updated roms, wipe data. Is it a pain in the ass, yes. But its the best way to advoid any bugs brought on by rogue data.

I have no issue with deep sleep, no battery drain issue. All is well.

As far as stripping the rom down, let me see if I can compile a list.

Email.apk

Exchange.apk

Galaxy4.apk

GalleryGoogle.apk

Gmail.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk

LiveWallpapers.apk

LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

Microbes.apk

Music.apk

MusicFX.apk

noiseField.apk

OneTimeinitializer.apk

Phasebeam.apk

SetupWizard.apk

signedAngryGPS.apk

SoundRecorder.apk

talkback.apk

VideoEditor.apk

VisualizationWallpapers.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

VoiceSearch.apk

And from the "data" folder, I only keep the apk's with "com.mxtech" in the name. Otherwise deleted before even installed.

Keep in mind, this is what I remove because I do not want/need/use any of these features. Removing some thing could affect something else that I am not aware of. So if you remove this stuff. Be warned. Everything works for me. but it may not for you.

I come from the Insanity rom back in the S2, so I strip my roms down :). Also removed every audio tone, but the one I use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cq0dq:
In my case, what I found is my Media Scanner didn't run at all, after install 4.5.

When I run "Rescan Media", I check my Running App again, and found the "Media Scanner" is running under "Media" category.

It took a big while (around 30 mins) to scan my 1.2GB music directory, it works fine for me now.

My guessing is, every time I add or delete my music, I need to rerun it again. Will try it later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fanSte:
I have solved my music songs problem. I've rebooted my phone, but my songs weren't there yet. So I let Google Music Player open for a couple of minutes and suddenly the songs where there!

Im thinking of starting freshhh from GB and re-rooting.. I have no idea what happened but my CWM isnt even restoring my backups..

I do have a question tho.. If i come from GB can i go straight to 4.5 without flashing 4.3?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lewisteo:
My thoughts Only

I might be wrong but I thought you are suppose to restore only via redpill cwm and only this is possible. Upon restored then you flash the LP5 kernel and reboot.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Maybe you can consider shifting your external music folder to the internal storage that is if you lost all means of solution.

The problem here is Google Music is program to scan a particular folder for your music.

For me I use Poweramp which allows assigning custom music folder or folders, it will solve your problem but cost incurred.

Again I believe there are free alternative that works similarly, I use poweramp and did not explore further so maybe you can go this direction.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Vap0ur:
Make sure you read install instructions in OP. Note in particular (sorry for formatting):

NEW STEPS BETA 4.3 ONWARDS:

Backup data apps.

Download and copy latest Stunner ROM on your SD Card.

Make sure you are on Rooted ROM. Reboot in recovery.

ONLY IF YOU ARE ON GINGERBREAD: Flash Abyss Kernel. Goto Advanced and Reboot Recovery.

Wipe Data (Recommended but not mandatory if you on Stunner ROM already)

Flash ROM.

Flash suitable Modem (Optional, recommended ICS LP5 modem)(not included in ROM)

Reboot and Read Caution.

Do not restore system apps or system data.

Try Old Steps from 4th Post if above steps don't give proper root.
