so i can go back to GB if i flash the GB bootloader first and then the stock GB in odin right because no matter what i do i cant flash **** besides the recovery ....and i have to do a lot of usb jumping to do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
I tried to flasg the stock att gingerbread rom after having leaked ICS running and I got some real problems. The phone starts and I see the same wallpaper I used for iCS as well as same apps, but everytime I try an app it crashes. I did NOT do a nandroid backup..stupid me.

When I try to get into recovery mode it does, but the screen starts with the normal recovery instructions at the top, but with the yellow :manual mode" writing in the middle with the yellow warning sign.

Nothing I do will let me wipe and do a factory reset.

Any thoughts??

Ok..Heres what I just did. I flashed clockword mod recovery, and it worked. I was able to get into recovery mode. I just did a factory reset and wiped cache. Now I reflashed the stock ATT gingerbread with Odin, and the darn thing works.

Talk about a few tense moments. Enough playing with it for today. I think I sit with the stock phone until the final ICS comes out.

I forgot the filename/path the backup goes into on the internal sd. I have my backup on my external sd. Or can I do the backup from the external? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIR3D:
I have a couple questions about reverting back to GB. Ya'lls input is awesome!

So... I put ICS on my Note (1717) when it leaked, and I didn't make a "Nandroid Backup" (Don't know what that even is...) - I backed up important stuff in mybackup pro

I simpy flashed the file in Odin from RootzWiki and boom, ICS.

Now, I have an external SD and I am trying to get back to GB. or to the Original state...

I did what this guy instructed - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506330 but I had no luck, it just bricked my phone, keeping it only booting the Samsung logos...

I don't know exactly what I am doing wrong...

Any / all help is greatly appreciated!

Don't know what a nandroid back up is? :banghead: jk... But seriously you should do more resurch be for you mess with your device. A nandroid is a saved version of your current rom. This gives you the ability to restore your phone should you have issues with a custom rom or you just want to go back to stock.

Can you get into recovery at all?( Holding both Volume up and down also the power button at the same time, let go of power button when phone says samsung.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIR3D:
Okay! Thanks for the help all!

I can get into recovery mode. I was able to do that last night and performed a factory reset... Although, I did not clear the Cache... So that might be a problem...

I did search the forums for ICS to GB info... but the best forum I found was this, but I guess I was wrong... Thanks for the links guys!

I guess the forum I linked to confused me on the order of which I should flash each .tar files... and one of them was a .rar so that threw me off a bit!

I will research how to do a Nandroid Backup, as that sounds awesome!

Thanks,

how to remove google maps / navigation / places etc. ? services + apps
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
In order to do so you need to be Rooted first to gain full access to your ROM.

Then go to your root path

/system/app

Locate the apk then just delete, or rename if you just want to back it up. E.g. maps.apk to maps.apk.bak

[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
You could flash a aosp rom and not flash gapps. Then you would have no Google apps at all. But, system/app is probably easyer. Something to note though, some Google apps are dependant on others, so if you want all gone, make sure you take them all :D

Trying to decide between this phone, and the galaxy nexus. any helpful thoughts or reviews?

how big of a deal is the screen resolution?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Depends on what you like hardware wise this phone is better aside from screen resolution

But software wise ... its a nexus.

nexus = LTE

e4gt = WiMAX < dead technology if you didnt realize
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
LTE = exactly how many cities have Sprints LTE right now? And how long until "full coverage" in even major cities? And in your city especially?

WiMAX = Do you have it now where you live?

;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdsnyder:
I'm confident that the $10 I send to Sprint every month is being used to bring WiMAX to my area.

..right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
No thats a "smartphone" fee

Wimax expansion is done... (i think clearwire might expand slightly throughout the years but without sprints help)

Mostly all the battery doors and case available online are for I9220..

Can these cases made for I9220 fit on my N7000..?

Please suggest some sites for N7000 which have good deals.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
Yes, just avoid battery doors made for i717.

Also note that many cases are made to acommodate the TV antennea in the corner of one of the models of the note, that is why in a lot of cases one corner is more open than the others.

Did anyone get 'Sony xloud' to work on ZTE Blade??

Whenever I try to flash it, it gives me an error and aborts the installation... :confused:

beats audio worked for me, but xloud doesn't...

Any suggestion to make it work would be appreciated...

One more thing...What's the difference in between 'xloud' and 'beats audio'?
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Same problem. If I had the permissions I would do it manually by unzipping the archive and putting the files using root explorer. But i don't know what permissions to set. Beats audio is by Dr. Dre and Xloud is the driver of Sony erricson mobiles. Both provide audio boost, however beats is more popular

All permissions must be set to 755 or each file should be rw-r--r--

Basically the permission box in root explorer should look like this:

Others ''''''''Tick'''''''No Tick'''''''No Tick

Let's keep track of bugs and "gotcha's" that we find in the ICS leak or any apps that have problems with the ICS leak.

Bugs/Problems [Updated 4/5/2012]

TwLauncher crashes almost immediately after install (Crashes seem to stop after using the phone for a bit. Possible Workarounds: factory reset; re-flash ROM again)

Some applications seem to lag worse than on GB, noticeable scroll and transition studder

Black crush issue still exists but was "addressed" (test image with 1-21 blocks, on GB it dropped to black on "1", on ICS it drops to black on "7" and it's still not gradual)

Noticeable grey-to-black banding, transition is not gradual

SetCPU appears to default to 1.2GHz as the max speed

Embedded youtube videos in the stock browser don't work

Contacts tab is no longer in Phone dialer (Contacts is now found by pressing the Menu button in the Phone dialer)

Left handed SPen does not work

Battery life is questionable

Quick view option in stock camera crashes when deleting a photo.

Hovering pen icon in Pen Options doesn't seem to do anything

Build.prop, dalvik.vm.heapsize is defined twice (64m and 256m), not sure which takes priority but GB was 128m

All browsers crash when accessing any government website when it asks if you approve of there cert

Shutdown and restart hang

SMS app stops working for some, MMS not working

Email accounts, can't use multiple with the same name before the @ symbol even with different domains

Stock camera cuts left side of pictures

Email doesn't show unread email count

Application Problems [Updated 4/4/2012]

Nova Launcher/Apex Launcher works but can't add widgets due to "Not enough space on this Home page" (The widgets are actually 6 columns wide. Workaround: Nova Settings > Behavior > Enable Resize all widgets, then go to Desktop > Desktop Grid > Set columns to 6, add widget to the home page, resize the widget to take up only 5 columns, go back to Desktop > Desktop Grid > Set columns to 5)

AT&T Visual Voicemail crashes on open (Workaround: see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24451275)

Instagram camera causes reboots after taking a picture

HMA VPN Pro does not connect

Launcher Pro paid crashes

K9 Mail, swipe to delete selects the email below

Other/Nice-To-Have's [Updated 4/4/2012]

RAM available is now 624MB instead of 733MB on GB

No android or swype keyboards

Some apps are now renderring in "phone" mode (Amazon AppStore)

Adobe Flash Player not installed by default

AT&T default "Marimba" ringtone is missing

(to be updated as bugs are discovered)

some of these issues may simply be app incompatibilities....We should be careful to discern which is which.... unless the purpose of the thread is to track both issues with the leak AND app compatibility (which seems a little silly, maybe two different lists would be better?)

Battery life seems fine for me, but I would need to play with it a bit more to be sure. I had it on for over an hour continuously (screen brightness to minimum), and rebooted several times. It only discharged to 80%.

Does anyone else notice that haptic feedback feels really weird compared to GB? The capacitive button and keyboard vibrations are sharp and abrupt instead of smooth feeling. Also, there is only three options for changing vibration settings, whereas GB had four.

I'm getting some ghost touch issues near the bottom of my screen. Sometimes it will detect a touch from the SPen when it's hovering about a quarter inch above the screen. Hmmm. Never had that on GB.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the notifications when you exit an app from the task manager, or receive a file via bluetooth?

When exiting an app, it asks for confirmation (If you force stop an app, it may cause errors). And there is no check box to always accept a file from a certain device like there was in GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:

I was one of the ones who was saying ICS would NOT be available officially 2nd quarter. If this ICS leak is the latest of what Samsung had cooked up, wow, but not in a good way.

I might also ask, does this ICS leak look different or bring any new functionality to the table?

In other words, if I had two Notes sitting side by side, one running the official GB and the other running the ICS leak, could you tell the difference between the two without going into settings->about phone?

There are small visual ques here and there but overall it doesn't look much different from gingerbread.

The default font is different, you can now have the keyboard, calculator, dial pad and a few other things setup for 1 handed use which is nice. The s pen is much smoother and keeps up with you much faster. Battery % in task bar is an option and my network speed is much more consistent. The camera is faster as well.

Touch whiz is buttery smooth which is nice.

The option to have the capacitor buttons turn on only in the dark is gone tho and the default dpi looks low.

Face unlock rocks!
