I didn't try the Backup/Restore but flashed Abyss 4.2 over my stock GB ROm (which was rooted using ZergRush Exploit). Then, installed ICS Stunner Beta 5 straight away. Smooth. Perfect Root. No LP1 repack needed.

Guess 4.2 was the difference. The posts here and everyone's been advising to flash LP1 could be due to the fact that people were using 3.9 and losing root. If this can be corraborated, we might do away with installing LP1 at all. My install seems perfect. Over and above, I even flashed 1.4.9 as a dirty, so did Abhi.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I was thinking about that after your previous post. I'll try to duplicate it after confirming if the Matius' restore method has worked for me, too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] thechints:
The whole point of installing LP1 was to maintain root and to have CWM injected. If Abyss 4.2 maintains a clean root and Stunner already has CWM, it kinda makes the whole process of LP1 redundant.

I have tried it. Have not used LP1. So, I am still a lucky b****d yet. People should join the club. Lol

Slight hump : - Restoring from GB using 4.2 with touch redpill recovery is stuck. Waiting for it to move further or give an error !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I don't like it...:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] thechints:
If, and only if, it does not work out, you could still wipe data and flash Stunner 1.4.9 straight away. Reboot, Let ROM settle. Reboot into Abyss Recovery and then perhaps restore the Nandroid?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abhisahara:
Guess you will have to like it now ;)

After giving a scare the stunner got restored stunningly with the root intact !! So hell yeah it works :)

Now its your turn....plug in two ac chargers in your Note Chas...get it supercharged :P LOL

Exchange ActiveSync and ICS Stunner

Hi Guys,

Recently I bought HTC One X and then sold it and got my new GNote, its awesome mobile and good for day to day productivity, I flashed ICS Stunner and found one issue with Exchange ActiveSync on ICS Stunner ROM. As I am using lotus notes for my office mails, on HTC One X I can configure my lotus mail as exchange active sync and my mails and calender are working flawlessly on native mail and calender client.But When I used ICS Stunner whenever I try to pass exchange server using manual setup option like this:

server.in.xyz.com: port/servlet/traveler

The next button gets disabled whereas on HTC One X (Android 4) native mail client this was not the case and I was able to configure it.

Can anyone please look into this??

Thanx in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Well done, mate, I'm soooooo pleased it did go through eventually!:o

My battery is at 83% now; I'll be ready to give it a go in about 45 minutes, I hope.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiochasylum:
83% is Plenty.

P.S. The link to re-pack it backup. Not sure why it dropped off 1 of the 5 parts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
@Matius & Abhi

Did you guys do any wipes before restoring GB ore™ ICS?

It's kinda important for me to know before taking the test drive myself.

I'd like to take exactly the same steps you two guys did.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] thechints:
On another front, switched back to Swype Beta 3 from SwiftKey Beta 3 and Stock ICS keyboard.

Swype is sooooo much faster. It will take a bit for the custom dictionary to populate again (unless someone can point out how to restore ONLY the dictionary from Titanium). But would be just so much quicker to type things out.

Do visit my blog (in sig) to read about my short reviews and reasons on why I switched back to Swype.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
Nope did not do any type of wipes whatsoever..

PS. Hilarious mate with the trademark! :D:D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
83% is not 'plenty' when attempting two restores and two small flashes in between.

You never know what might happen along the way, and may need every last drop

of juice for various eventualities.

So shoot me down in flames if you will, but I beg to differ on this one.;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abhisahara:
i just did the cache and dalvik wipes !! Data i haven't touched thinking **noobishly ofcourse (at least once its allowed to think like that...even after coming to this stage ;))**:p that some root files should not get wiped :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
OK, no wipes it is, then.

Taking the plunge now...

GB restored quickly, will give it 10 minutes to settle down.

4.2 flashed for the 2nd time, now Stunner restore.

Rebooting...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GoJo ^^:
Nope, i made a search, someone with same carrier lost his SMSC and asked for it, people gave one, he used it, it worked. Now there's something : My Note is not from my country. That's surely why i had to enter APN and set other things. Still, i should be able to enter the SMSC?

Other questions: Is there a way to get/set the top icons (search/mic/app drawer) in tablet ui? Day of the week in status bar? Will we get soon the option to set sd card as the camera app recording location? Isn't there a countdown in the clock app? Maybe missed it...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] qazzi76:
Wait???

Is your bluetooth keyboard working with this ROM???

Are you able to type using your bluetooth keyboard on this ROM??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
And thank God, thank Buddha, thank Allah...

I have root! :D:o:p:rolleyes::D

Start typing you OP, Mat, the method works flawlessly.

Just make sure to mention that

a) we didn't do any wipes prior to restores, and

b) they are not be alarmed by the Touch Recovery behaviour whilst recovering Roms.

(no frantic flashing of filenames getting restored like in CWMR)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiochasylum:

Yups, me and Matius used 4.2 Abyss kernel with Redpill Touch recovery and guess Chas too used it ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Yessir.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GoJo ^^:
On my previous answer (to you, hundreds page ago i bet..) i asked you if i can use abyssnote 4.2 instead of the mentionned 3.9 to backup/restore, you didn't answer. Can you please confirm? Or it's really ONLY 3.9? Should i return to LP1 kernel to use Stunner with root or i can keep AbyssNote?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I'd say that you cannot use Abyss 4.2 for backing up ICS Roms. Your backup would contain a full ICS Rom combined with a GB kernel (4.2) and that would be no good, would it? Anyway, you don't need it - CWMR will do the job.

It's when restoring Stunner or indeed any other ICS that you should use Abyss 4.2 (and 4.2 only).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abhisahara:
Abyss Kernel 4.2 with touch redpill recovery it to be used ONLY for restoring the ICS nandroids. DONT use the Abyss kernel to boot and run with the Stunner rom. Abyss is a GB kernel and not the ICS kernel. Dont get confused mate!!

I'm already back at Darky GB.

I'll try to flash Abyss 4.2, then flash Stunner directly and see if I get root.

Installed Stunner straight from GB and booting.

Well, fuq me till I turn purple...:eek:

thechints was absolutely right, and we didn't believe him.

I apologize, mate.

We don't need the blasted Repack any more.:D

What I did:

1. restored Darky GB via Abyss 4.2

2. let it settle

3. reflashed 4.2

4. flashed Stunner straight away

And I have full root, would you believe it?:D

I pasted a file into /system, and

Successfully changed DPI

I don't know what to say thechints, you were absolutely right.

Apologies and congratulations to the man is in order, methinks.:)

Well done, mate.:)

I need a drink.....or three....

P.S. What I did after the above:

Went to CWMR

Flashed Abyss 4.2

Restored my Stunner Backup

And there's root.

So, Abyss 4.2 works for restoring ICS from ICS as well.

I'm afraid that question surpasses our wisdumb here. Kernel devs could probably answer your query with sound arguments.

We're just a hit-and-miss brigade here.

Looks like we managed to hit something today, though.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vviz:
Did that. Actually, without knowing it, i duplicated two of your experiments. For several days i was jumping back and forth between GB/CM9/Stunner (b5.0 and 1.4.9) by flashing abyss 4.2 touch for restore (and restore only). For backups I was using the CWM Manager app, though. The only thing that didn't work for me was to restore the stunner directly from GB by using CWMR (lost root in the process) but Abyss 4.2 always delivered.

I also just flashed Stunner directly from GB/Abyss combo without LP1 pit-stop. Replaced the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with gnex's modified one. Full root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:

Please help us.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anupam_luv:
Dear, Ive been asking the same for many days.... but nobody bother to ans that.... and finally Im thinkin to go back to my older GB rom....

Bugs I found after clean installing (My first ICS after GB) on my N7000 :

1. Can't access filesystem via PC , always ask to scan for errors when connected in usb mass storage mode, if scanned, disconnects after few minutes n freeze everythng and when ignore scanning and start copy any file, happens same thing... tried 2-3 cables..... not a prob with GB rom.

2. Watchin a movie or watchin a youtube video stops/pauses because for idle sleep setting... default is 30 secs... so after 30secs movie pauses and screen goes off.... need to change sleep to 30 mins to watch long movies.....

3. Camera flash is terrible... better not to use flash. Can't change storage. Anti-shake/Auto-Contrast etc n many other useful options are not available.

list may be longer as I use it more etc...

Though many features are still in beta.... I would recommend new users or first time ICS users like meto play with the GB firmwares .... and comeback here after 2 months...

I will go back to latest GB tomorrow as I dont have enough time to ask for every small problem abt this beta ICS....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GoJo ^^:
Ok it's clear now. But what should i use to backup then? The Stock LP1 kernel? If so the backup i did on it will work...

Other question, i read that originally android limit sd card speak, in euphoria control i see a tweak about that, but which value should i use? I use Class 10 card.

Another thing, what is "fast charge" and does it work or not (something says it might not, but if it was put here i guess it does..)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
1. Did not happen to me and to the majority in this thread, however couple of members reported it before..Try to make a clean install and see if it persists, sorry can't help mush with an issue I did not face

2. Watched a whole lot of movies and series episodes without any issues though I always use Mobo Player for my watching needs

3. I use camera very rarely but those are issues of stock camera app, try to use what other members suggest which is camera zoom fx

Hope this helps

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] thechints:
@Matius @Chas @Abhi @Anti

Seen the new thread.	A separate thread for dealing with backups and restores sounds great.

In addition to it, should we not change the install guide on the first page of this thread? Need to remove the striked out bit and insist on using Abyss 4.2 to be flashed over GB, thereafter a reboot and then flash Stunner. Doing this will make sure root stays and a lot of questions on this thread related to bad installs or root will be gone, leaving you all with unstupid questions to answer to. Lol

But then that's perhaps for @Neo to consider?

Am so happy my stand on not flashing LP1 was vindicated. A few pages ago, another member had criticised me saying I should not talk if I didn't know what I was saying when I had answered to a user's post saying the same thing about using Abyss 4.2 and going straight to Stunner from GB.

And @Chas, thanks for the appreciation. Only doing my bit. Please gimme a shoutout if I can be of service. (But am still wondering how my thanks meter is stuck at 11, lol)

Which brings me back to wondering, "Can you smell what the Neo is cooking?!"

Yup just tried it and it does turn on the capacitive buttons if you change the brightness from the drop down notification menu, and then you have to tick and untick the "Enable Keys Backlight" option for them to be turned off again..

However, I've always used widgetsoid to have a widget switcher for custom levels of brightness to change them on the fly and that never turned the capacitive key lights on..

Lol and that's exactly why you will have my vote and my offer as your campaign manager! :D
