CWM is not included in the rom for your protection. If you need to do any flashing you can use autoroot to flash el26cwm. When it reboots besure to hold the volume up and power keys to get into recovery as flashing the gingerbread kernel will cause your phone not to boot back into the rom since it's an ICS ROM. At the moment using any type of custom recovery in ICS is not recommended thus why the developers have taken it out due to all the bricking issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingcaliyone:
COOL COOL i just like to back up my roms..im on xplod mini 2.0 using rougue_ET-1.4.0-GUNSLINGER and its works an this is a ics rom...just a heads up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Please what ever you do I would avoid to do any wiping or restoring while in an ICS recovery/kernel. Please note also even the the gunslinger thread, its advised not to do any type of flashing *on ICS builds* Backing up might be ok, but nonetheless take your time and try to read as much as possible, there's numerous thread posted by others who have asked a similar question and has been answered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Clear cut reason why more reading of threads in xda is.needed. please please please take so.e time and read the brick threads. Also everyone in here has given you some good advice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingcaliyone:
i do read clearly .....if i didn't i wouldn't know how to do this stuff i just wanted to know was there a recovery to use with tha Rom gggeessshhh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
you can mobile Odin el26. then reboot right into recovery.

easiest and safest way.

but you will have to reflash a kernel or rom in order to boot back up after you done in recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GuestD0701:
"Be sure" when you flash el26 cwm 5.0.2.7 that just after boot, when first Samsung screen appears, start to hold power and volume up.. Otherwise you will have issues.. This is a gingerbread kernel and isn't made to run on ics, but does work as long as you follow those exact instructions.. I always just keep a copy of the el26 cwm tar on my sdcard and use mobile odin to flash it when I leave a rom.... It's fastest way to do this... Here is cwm el26 tar. Use either pc odin 1.85 or mobile odin to flash..

The best way that i have come up with for sorting issues or at least classifying the issues is by

Profiling as follows

Handset Made in: (China,Vietnam,Korea)

Month of Manufacture :Mar 12

Colour: (White,Blue,Pink)

Country where Purchased :

ROM:

Issues :

Snapshots: (If any)

By using the above parameters we will be able to detect where the actual problem lies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DespiNeT:
For me

Made in China

Month of Manufacture Mar 12

Colour White

Country where Purchased India

Issues Screen Shifting (on a white background noticeable shift from green to pinkish tint at frequent interval can be seen,prominent in dark ambience) and weak wifi signals
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
What ROM are you on? Mine used to flicker screen hues back when I was on KK9 or LA4. It was either LB1 or LB2 that got rid of that for me.

I think stating the ROM on the form would also be a vital piece of info.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psun786:
My Note was manufactured in March, 2012 and doesn't have white banding or black clipping issues. It also come original Samsung charger for US outlet. Not sure if this suggest the phone is for North America market?

After seeing so many are having screen artifacts, I begin to wonder if Samsung has different QC standard for phone made for different market. Both of the two SGN I bought from Newegg.com don't have problem. The friend who recommend me this model doesn't have white banding or black clipping issue. Also, when you look at AT&T's version, no one is complaining about the screen.

I know this may sounds outrageous, but when you consider US has some of the most consumer friendly return policy (required by law). Any imperfection will result in enormous return rate and often lawsuit (remember iphone 4 antenna:rolleyes:).

I bought my first ipad 2 from an Apple company store in Asia. It has some noticeable screen bleeding. When I brought it back to the store for exchange, the replacement, which is brand new also has bleeding. The Apple employee told me this is normal for their stock. After verifying this information on a reputable idevice forum, I found the bleeding problem is normal among the ipad 2 sold in Asia market. However, the ipad marketed in US doesn't have this problem.

I am not saying either company is using inferior parts on phone sold else where. They could simply have a different quality check standard for different market. Or they maybe using different parts for different market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DespiNeT:
I am having LB2 ROM but the issue is persisting.I think its a hardware issue and the worst part is service people dont recognize it as an issue infact they arent even able to see it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DespiNeT:
No its not at all outrageous,infact i too feel the south asian market is not getting equal share of pie.Even apple gadgets are launched at least a quarter later.you will be astonished to learn that here in India the iphone 4s costs around $990 for an unlocked version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DespiNeT:
@psun786

Can you please tell,where has been your note manufactured?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Star_Box:
guys .. how to know the date of manufacturing ???

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TempusFudgeIt:
Not sure that gives date of manufacture - When I do on mine it shows Jan 2012 and I bought the Note last November so can't be build date ;)

Check the link below for list of codes - it says firmware (and I have updated my Note heaps with different Roms and Kernels).

Purchase date: Jan 12 (Color:Blue)

Place: India

Manufacturing: Jan 12 in Vietnam

Issue: Serious black clipping..but that pathetic samsung has refused to do anything about it..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DespiNeT:
Dude,me too have the same issue,i have five notes in my circle from all the makes china,vietnam and korea and believe me all have this issue but feel relaxed as these are software glitches and will be addressed, some makes have serious hardware issue like overheating,poor camera performance,irresponsive s pen and lots more. Personally i feel the display itself is flawed at the first place irrespective of the nice color rendering
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techimplant:
I dont know man..but one thing is for sure that this aint a software issue n ICS wont fix it..coz Galaxy Nexus has the issue despite of running ICS from day 1..so dont get your hopes up for the ICS update fixing this..I would probably sell it n go for One X instead..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CONTACTMC:
I did a test today with my supervisors galaxy nexus and my note, his galaxy nexus did not have the black clipping, also his galaxy nexus displayed the gamma test image with a nice fade all the way down to black. My G note goes down to 4 grey then jumps to black. His ICS version was 4.02, so who knows. I am on my second international Note both of which have the black clipping, so I am gonna wait for ICS and see what happens. If the issue persists after ICS I will get the screen replaced. Pain in the ass anyway you look at it.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

This has to be a software issue, try opening the gamma test image in the stock browser. On my Note it shows a perfect fade all the way down on the stock internet browser, yet in stock picture gallery and quickpic I get a rubbish fade down to 4, the 3,2 and 1 are a solid black block. If the internet browser can display the image correctly, then so can everything else.

Or am I way off....lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psun786:
Both of them are made in china. Could it be a rom issue? I updated mine to LC1 the moment I got them.

I don't know if you guys have seen this app. Its the beta version of the CM9 Music Player. I've personally used and found it to be one of the best Music apps I've ever used.

Screenies and Info: http://www.seeingpixels.org/2012/01/cyanogenmod-9-music_16.html

Download: http://goo.gl/CckWp

Install like a normal app. At your own risk of course.

I take no credit for the development of this app. All goes to Andrew Neal and CM9 Team.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fermata_:
Does this music app do gapless playback for mp3's?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] b-eock:
This player is to CPU intensive while the screen is off. Therefore I will use the theme for the Google Play Music app
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rimark:
yeah my phone seems to slow down quite a bit while it's playing.. Might switch back to poweramp. But I do like the theme of it :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zzmomo73:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] b-eock:
-Music App

-Google music Theme

-Theme template
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zzmomo73:
What should I do with the zip file?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] b-eock:
Your downloading the template, meaning your going to decompile an APK and replace the necessary files and recompile. I would suggest using the Google Play Music and then the Google Music theme.apk to get the look a like!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zzmomo73:
Oh OK. Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sa1yan:
Woah, you guys are right. This app is running mediaserver in the background and the phone is uber hot + battery drain D:. Use at your own risk.

Couple of quick questions...

How do i get Gtalk installed on this?

I tried installing a couple of apk's but it just force closes..

Anyone has a working version or a link to it?

Does the Play Game Launcher work?

It opens fine but shows no games or recommended games...

Would be grateful for any assistance here!

[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
I don't, Works fine for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Here's a mod to add back Google Talk GoogleTalk[ICS++] :)

Does the Game Launcher just always say "No Content"?
[Xperia Play Android Development] letmedanz:
Yes, always shows as no content.

if i remember correctly, earlier in stock fw i think there was an option to connect and download some games (or it did so automatically)

cant see that either...

Hey guys, got a really big problem :(

I'm using this ROM and loving it but have just encountered an issue.

I'm using the LocNet game keyboard for my games, and to use it I have to switch the default keyboard to the gamepad, meaning I have to deselect my standard keyboard I use for texting. I know you guys removed the option/notification of the input method in the notification bar but is there any way I could get the long press version or that one back? It's a pain that I paid for this app and don't get to use it :(

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrArc:
Hello all, just thought I'd share my experiences flashing this ROM.

I flashed over the Sony beta ICS with DoomKernel, all went swimmingly really and this immediately felt like a better, faster ROM.

I only have one question right now, and that is regarding the Wi- oh. Never mind. Wifi works. :D

Seems I had to reflash DoomKernel modules in CWM and reflash the Wifi-Enabler. :p

Is there a log of significant features that are unusable??

[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I've found myself a right strange bug.. Perhaps...

Randomly, sometimes after boot and sometimes after a bit of use, the 'taskbar/notification bar' at the top will disappear. You can still drag it down to reveal notifications however the bar itself when minimized will be completely black. It comes back randomly, and goes again randomly after that... :confused:

I'm running DoomKernel with the Stock Adreno drivers from the second post.

I intend to try using the mod that moves the clock to the left, and see if that helps at all.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Only your own installed games show up. Nothing else does. :)

...And omg wtf, all i did was open the Play Launcher, put it down whilst still open to type this message and now the phones just rebooted.. Sad times! ><

Loving the boot times though! Rebooted already.. >_>
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
The Notification bar is annoying that it sometimes takes ages to load but try using the stock bar.
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
This is the landscape bug I raised in a previous post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] letmedanz:
Just as another user pointed out to your previous post, even i don't seem to have the 'landscape bug'
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
That does not mean it does not exist.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Strange... I thought it happened because of the lock screen.

When you turn the phone on and it goes to the lock screen, it hides the time on the notification bar. After unlocking the device, the time moved to the Notification bar from the lock screen and all is well and dandy..

If you ask me, it's this function/feature that is making it 'bug out' sometimes..

But yes, reverting to the stock notification bar does fix the issue.

[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
Could be because of overclock, I usually get random reboots when on DoomKernel OC'd to 1,6ghz, lowering it to 1,2ghz seemed to fix it.

Amazing how different phones can be, mine runs at 1.7GHz all the time in performance mode, and I never get reboots...
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
Probly you could after you flash the same kernel. I have done that but not over ics beta over 1 of the custom beta roms after i flashed ics beta as base. I was able to restore backups over i think ka12. I restored jj's rom, ics++, and darkforest under same kernel. I think @ the time it was advanced stock.

Am facing a small issue, if anyone can check..

there are certain instances when upon pressing any of widgets / shortcuts on he home page, they just don't get pressed.

they get high lighted but dont get selected.

similarly in the app drawer, pressing an icon just moves the drawer a bit up/down, the icon gets highlighted but doesn't get selected.

it feels like the screen is extra sensitive or something.

am using adw launcher btw if that makes any difference.

hey, after following the v6 supercharger thread I finally got this ROM 100% supercharged. Ive noticed a reasonable performance boost, as well as no more launcher redraws or 'not responding' messages. It was hard because i had to do it manually and mod services.odex. Anyways, here it is if you want to try it out, remember to move to system/framework and type the following via terminal:

chown 0.0 services.odex

chmod 644 services.odex

and run the actual script using script manager or terminal

Good Luck!!

We already have this coming in a 1.2 update and have been testing it over the last couple of weeks, before releasing. I'd recommend people wait until we officially release it with the update.

oh ok, anyways, waiting patiently until next update.

is the next version of your rom odexed or deodexed? because im really loving the performance boost (especially at boot time) because of the odexed rom.
