Enough of this god damn bricking/kernel questions.

I have a Q about the Rom: is there a way to tweak the auto-brightness settings of the phone? I find that auto-brightness is always far too high than it needs to be.

I mean I'll be in a pretty dull room, and the screen will go right up in brightness, so then I have to turn auto-brightness off and move the cursor down low.

Not sure if this can be changed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Most the boys pulled the LP1 repack due to the whole bricking situation. It could turn up via a Google search.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
@tremerone

Amen mate..I couldn't have said it better than you did..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
You can change them by decompiling framework-res.apk. Inside framework-res.apk you would go to res/layout/arrays and look for "config_autoBrightnessLevels".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
I remember there were custom settings tab under Settings > Display, and I think @thechints were trying to get optimal values to use..search for post from hom and I think you'll get some answers :)

An excellent post, indeed. Well done, T.:)

However, whilst abundant in substance, I find it slightly lacking in style. What it needs is either

a) a bit more outraged Texan thunder®, or

b) a touch of caustic sarcasm™

Do some thread research, and you'll get there.:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ryomakun:
* 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. Tested and confirmed working on CF-Root Kernel.

* 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.

so if i read that instruction when i came from GB so just boot into recovery than flash this rom right?dont have to flash repack first, is it right?

Question that hasn´t been asked before (?!)

...and I hope that this is the case! :)

I am one of the panic-guys who switched back to GB due to the brick-cases here on the board. As everyone should second, I am not that pleased with GB anymore..

This is the situation: I do have a Nandroid Backup of my former Stunner setup. Is there ANY possibility to flash the nandroid backup WITHOUT risking the LP*Kernel-things...perhaps by flashing entropys kernel before/after(/?) the restore?

This is the noob´s side...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] talhamid:
One noob to another: from what I understand after reading this entire forum, there is NO guaranteed safe way to flash ICS right now. That's why there is a public service announcement in the Note Development forums.

That said, how high is the risk is open to question. The instances of actual bricking have been far and few. I believe (again from a noob, so correct me if I'm wrong) that the incidences of bricking are largely in line with ANY ROM, ANY KERNEL that is on this thread - there are few who are unlucky. Please understand that we are asking our Notes to run software that they aren't hardwired to run (that hardwiring, I believe, will come with official Samsung release of the ICS update for Note).

That's why rooting/flashing voids your warranty.

So bottom line: if you think you can take a financial loss and afford to buy another phone, AND/OR are optimistic that you will emerge unscathed (like 90% or more of users here including me), go ahead and flash. If you're not upto it, wait for Father Samsung to get up from its backside and update their best product ever with the software it was truly made for.

Tablet mode regained

Breaking news: I had a NANDROID backup of my system from ten days ago. Thinking it was Gingerbread (it was not), I re-rooted and flashed Abyss Kernel and restored it. Viola! It turned out to be the Stunner version I used to have on which LCD density switch worked! Now I again have full root access. Heaven knows what actually happened here :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SolidSnakeSK:
FINALLY!

+1 mate!!!

You are just awesome, and I am so serious about this.

We are here to seek information, users feed back, bugs that can be taken easy, then to decide, to install or not to install the damn ROM. Tired of YES. or no. troll stories, give proper answer or just close that subject, one is a wise-man telling how many seconds it takes to type YES. or no. ? and the other just want a damn clear answer from him, anyone, would totally lose focus and respect to posts done by users for what's being included.

Simple, do whatever you want, devs here are humans like in Samsung, Samsun even hire devs from here.

Here (XDA), when you brick your device, you are on your own, getting free amazing software and ROMS without even free registration, has it's flaw. There (Samsung), when you brick your device, they take responsibility and they will fix the device you PAID for that has been bricked by THEIR own update! got it ?

Am amazed, internet amazes me all day everyday...

Kindest Regards,

MAD MAN refuses to take YES. or no. thing easy.

P.S. Yes, I know my English is very bad, do something about it, because am happy with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] talhamid:
Flashing for dummies

Encouraged by the positive feedback on my previous post, I will recount here some do's and don'ts gathered on my flashing experience:

DO:

1) Hate Gingerbread and pester Samsung about official ICS update to Note

2) Google around for best ways to root your device. Specifically check out rootgalaxynote.com for noob-friendly advice and videos

3) Check out in your phone's about settings and note down the kernel version and the ROM version on your device. Also note the manufacturer's official designation of your device (i717, N7000 or i9220 in this case)

4) Realize that what you do to your device is your own responsibility. Samsung and/or XDA and/or your mom won't be there when you are staring at a fancy black brick as a result of the RISKY procedures here. Well, maybe your mom will be there, so be good to her

5) Check which features are and are NOT working in a given ROM before flashing it

6) Be in it for the long haul and be prepared to tinker, adjust, flash, reflash, backup and restore to mold your device to your liking. There is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL solution to anything

7) Purchase MyBackup Pro and make complete backups of your apps every now and then

8) Develop sufficient proficiency with ClockWork Mod to be able to Nandroid backup before EVERY flashing

9) Go to your local market and check for fallback options in case you lose your phone. Either shortlist the same device (Note) or get some cheaper options (such as dirt-cheap and excellent Galaxy Nexus) shortlisted. Make sure your bank account has the requisite sum before you even think about hitting download mode on your device

DON'T

1) Think that the ROM creator, or Samsung, or your mom, is in any way responsible for anything bad that happens to your device

2) Flash without ensuring that your kernel is up for it (see (3) above)

3) Skip steps or downloads in a lengthy procedure in hopes that things will work out in the end

4) Backup or restore system apps via MyBackup or Titanium

5) Conclude on the performance of your battery before going thru several charge/recharge cycles

6) Adopt an accusatory tone in your comments

You can glash from CF-Root but you might lose root..either from Abyss Note Kernel 4.2 or flash LP1 repack ultimately..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] weirdgeordie:
I can confirm with 100% certainty, that you can avoid the I9220 repack, by going through CM9.

You need to flash CM9 from a GB from (Preferably CF-Root), follow their instructions carefully. Then follow the instructions to install ICS Stunner on the opening post.

I also was very worried about flashing the repack, so went down the CM9 route and I have not lost root, I haven't had any weird things like /system stuck on read only even if rooted, or any of the common issues.

So, yes, it can be done with out the repack!!

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Just a theory - but I'm wondering, has anyone here bricked their phone flashing ICS Stunner through CM9 and not the LP1 repack?

As I mentioned in my post above, coming from CM9 to Stunner works perfectly, without loosing root etc.

So, my theory is that perhaps if the LP1 repack is never installed, it's safe (or safer)?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Leotronick:
Hi,

I have a strange problem concerning The charging indicator in Status bar.

After full charge and unplugging phone, my phone switches to USB charging mode again and again. I can see this on The notification bar logo as well as on the lockscreen and even in the battery stats . It's just for a half second and it is repeated all the time until the battery is lower then 90%.

This alone is strange, but would no be annoying, if there was no other problem too.

Every time the phone switches to charging mode there are some small lags and the touch screen becomes disturbed. That's why, I can not or only hardly type anything on the keyboard between 100% and 90% of battery.

I am on 1.4.26.1 . I have not encountered this problem in any previous roms or builds.

Did not find any post with similar problem, so I am asking by my self.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jhonybravo4u:
Hey Guys... I got a problem.. I was using .19 and today i tried flashing .26.

Wipe delvik and wipe cache and flash .26

It stuck on galaxy note screen.

So I flash .26.1 update... but still no luck...

I have taken backup... so i tried restoring.. But it says Error while restoring /system

Please help me how can i restore .19
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
Hope you did a Factory Reset as well. Then wipe all your cache, dalvic or otherwise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Take a look at /Settings/About phone/ ...What does it say under 'kernel'?

If it's ZCLP5 or ZCLP6, it's the same thing as if you had arrived at Stunner through Repack.

To clarify: it's the kernel and its CWMR that's dangerous, not the Repack itself.

Flash abyss kernel v 4.2 then restore backup. Use search please.

Today I found out I had no root....lol

Titanium backuped my system settings, accounts, messages and apps incl apex launcher, Wifi passwords and bluetooth connections.

Flashed lp1 repack. Triangle away, flashed stunner then

Restored titanium backup. All is exactly the same but rooted.

I used the xda search function for that.....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] begz:
u try darkyRom 3.4.1 for stable use..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] weirdgeordie:
Yes, you are correct. ZCLP6 is the kernel I ended up with and anyone else following the same procedures would get.

And, again, yes, I do understand it's kernel and CWMR with the bug, as the LP1/5/6 verions of CWMR are so out of whack, they don't even seem to be able to mount some of the file systems.

However, I think the point I was trying to make was, if you flash the LP1 repack first, without the use of mobile odin, then you have no choice but to enter the LP1 version of CWMR to install Stunner 1.4.26.1

However, if you use the CM9 first route, then you don't have to enter the LP1/5/6 versions of CWMR to get ICS Stunner running. Then as long as you avoid CWMR until a safer kernel is developed or adapted, I think it will significantly reduce the risk.

Plus, I think the bigger bonus of this route is, that if you go through CM9 first and when a dev gets one of these alpha ICS kernels working with AOKP builds, or if someone would like to try one of the alpha kernels, or try to get another kernel working well with ISC Stunner themselves (As long as it's flashed through odin), and the kernel is flashed before ICS Stunner boots for the first time, then you have the potential of never going into any of the LP1/5/6 kernel's CWMR at any point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
You have a point there, agreed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abhisahara:
The market and apps support the android stock dpi values i.e. 320, 240 and 160

So if you want to buy or install any app through the market change to the stock dpi's and then buy/install and revert to the dpi of your choice.

Always remember to clear the market data after every dpi change!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jadmask3rlm:
For market compatibility issue try this, it works for me. Now on 190dpi and no "no compatibility" or missing apps so far.

I haven't had any problems with the market and I'm using 213. Follow the instructions in the Euporia Control DPI switcher and you shouldn't have problems either. That includes not always clearing market data after every DPI change. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abhisahara:
For you Talk works? People have issues after installing this. You need to change the signature of GSF to make Talk work if it doesn't work. It includes more modding than the Normal change dpi reboot and clear market data. Also the market cant be updated to the latest one. If you install a latest GAAPS release it will again change your market and then you will have to again download the modded one along with the GSF (google services framework)

So depends on choices you want to make and what length you planning to go :)

I was just wondering about the following,

My gf has a se xperia arc.....I know....don't ask.

But her camera rocks. It's realy fast and the video camera has a stablizer on it.

Since this is a ( correct me if I'm wrong ) software feuture is it possible to somehow implement it for 720p recording?

The arc only goes to 720p but the image quality on a large screen is amazing.

I ask becouse the Note is superior in every way except for the video camera being so damn shaky.

Stock rom doens't have it either.

Stunner rocks and I have no issues at all.

Camera functions as it should so take no offence please.

It's just an idea I had.

Hey guys. I have read and heard about the ICS leak horror stories regarding bricked devices...and I was wondering if I have a brickable ICS ROM...

Currently I am on:

BASEBAND: I9220ZCLP5

KERNEL: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP5-CL295568 se.infra@SEP-78 #3

STUNNER VERSION: 1.4.19

BUILD: IMM76D

Am I on any a version that could potentially brick my device or am I am on a 'safe' version?

If I am on a brickable one, can someone tell me how to flash back to gingerbread and the potential problems my current ROM/kernel has caused?
