[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chr7383:
ICS INVERTED AOSP CONTACTS FC's...

I am sorry not to have an answer to the previous post about launcher FC's if anybody does, please post... I have a response to some prior posts about ICS CONTACTS FC's...

#1 From the OP Tips section:

#2 Searching the thread:

#3 I had FC's on the ICS DIALER, CONTACTS, etc with Alpha III, 213 dpi, AOSP Inverted, so I wanted to sit on the *completely stable* (ie zero FC's) installation of RC4 (without the AOSP kit) for a couple days before trying to add the 213 dpi Tablet mod and the AOSP INVERTED APP kit. So, starting nervously from a completely stable RC4 since it was installed two days ago - just moments after its release, I did the following on my GNOTE i717:

STEP 1: Put two zips on the PHONE SDCARD directory (not the external SDCARD):

A. 2_Hybrid_213.zip (last modified 5/9/2012 at 10:04pm)

B. INVERTED_APP_KIT_AOSP_Widgets.zip (last modified 5/8/2012, at 4:38am)

STEP 2: Zero out all existing CONTACTS data and possible old MMS data in the Logsprovider that might be one cause of future CONTACTS FC's:

Settings>Applications>All>Contacts>Clear Data

Settings>Applications>All>LogsProvider>Clear Data

Quickly move to STEP 3 (to avoid getting any new data in CONTACTS or LOGSPROVIDER):

STEP 3: Quick Boot>Recovery>Install Zip from *internal* SD CARD)>INVERTED_APP_KIT_AOSP_Widgets.zip

(it finishes with DONE! Please reboot your device)

Leave CWM Recovery by selecting Reboot System Now

For safe measure, zero out all existing contacts data AGAIN after going INVERTED!

STEP 4: SEttings>Applications>All>Contacts (the clear data option was greyed out, must be empty)

Settings>Applications>All>Contacts Storage>Clear Data (this must be a ICS thing)

Settings>Applications>All>LogsProvider>Clear Data

Quickly move to STEP 5 (to avoid getting any new data in CONTACTS or LOGSPROVIDER):

STEP 5: Quick Boot>Recovery>Install Zip from *internal* SD CARD)>2_Hybrid_213.zip

(it finishes with DONE! Please reboot your device)

Leave CWM Recovery by selecting Reboot System Now

STEP 6: After the system rebooted, I was in TABLET MODE 213dpi.

Observations status bar on bottom, old green non-ICS PHONE app is gone, old orange non-ICS CONTACTS app is gone, and blue ICS Phone app is present, blue ICS "People" (aka CONTACTS) is present.

Step 7: Select ICS People (aka CONTACTS) - it is empty, not even those pesky AT&T CONTACTS - YEAH! - exit CONTACTS.

Step 8: Select ICS PHONE, note that there are no CONTACTS under the "People" tab and no calls under the "Call Log" tab.

Step 9: Using ICS Phone, call my land-line phone, leave a voice mail, hang up.

Wait for automatic message sent to GNOTE when people leave messages on land line. Alert received!

Step 10: Select ICS Messaging. The log of messages prior to goign INVERTED is still there, but NOT THE CONTACTS that go with each message!

Step 11: Select ICS People (aka CONTACTS) - Settings - IMPORT FROM VCARD FILE

(old VCARD file I made last week, successfully restored all my contacts! Yeah!)

Step 12: Select ICS Messaging. The log is there, and the CONTACTS that go with the messages. YEah!

Step 13: Select ICS Phone. The log contains 1 call (see Step 9), the Contacts tab has all my contacts, and I can use the phone.

Step 14: (because I did not want to stop on a Step Number "13") - Power Off the Phone, Power the phone back on, use the ICS PHONE, pick my LAND LINE "contact" from the Contact list, hang up, exit ICS PHONE, wait for automatic message that someone left a message on my land line voice mail. Success!

So, if I haven't bored everyone, I appear to have created a *stable* ICS AOSP INVERTED INSTALL with no FC's. Yeah! It's a miracle, I'm saved, DAGr8's a genious, etc. etc. etc. This may being hope to the people who might want to start over trying to install RC4 (full wipe) then move to INVERTED AOSP without the CONTACTS FC issue.
