I liked it too for a few days until my touch screen started to become unresponsive. It got so bad i had to touch icons 2-3 times to get anything to work. I didn't notice a difference in battery life, but I wasn't looking for it either. I went back to stock ( after a struggle) and then back to Saurom ROM, which runs every bit as fast for me as ICS, and without the problems I experienced. I got 3500 quadrant scores on leaked ICS, and thats what I average on Saurom without over clocking.

I also ran into the problem of a few apps force closing with ICS, and others not being compatible. The whole experience was actually good because it taught me how to root and flash my phone, and I learned much to the terminology from this forum. This is an awesome site.

Hey guys,

If i do a factory reset through settings and i have the leaked ics rom.. will i brick my phone?

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kornklown69:
no
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] talonted:
Would doing this un-root a rooted phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ykkfive:
no. it will only wipe user data

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
A factory reset removes ANY data that is not 'pre-installed' by the rom.

Basically, its as if you just turned your phone on for the first time but instead of with the rom that came with the phone, it is with the rom you have installed.

You do not loose root because what actually is giving you root is code added to the kernel (hooks) and since the kernel is part of the system, it cannot be reverted to its original state, any changes made to the kernel will remain after a factory reset (Android at this time does not keep multiple backups of system files like Linux or Windows does - sometimes called shadow copies).

If your rom did NOT come with SuperUser pre-installed, you can simply redownload it from the market (if you were rooted).

One other thing, a factory reset also removes any cached data (davlik for example) as well. This is why it takes so long for the phone to boot after a factory reset or after installing a rom that does a wipe before installing (the phone has to rebuild the davlik cache when it reboots which takes some time).

If you are interested in specifically what a factory reset does and does not do, I recommend asking Google, its a very informative resource.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I'll just toss this out there; I got my phone a few days ago, and it was pretty sluggish on stock TW; adding ADW ex didn't help a lot, so I did a factory wipe reset yesterday, and it fixed things right up!

Did it to my wifes phone too, and it fixed a few little issues she was having too..I read some posts saying that it should almost be mandatory to do a factory wipe when you first get this phone, which i thought was weird, but, proved beneficial for both of our newly acquired Notes...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Absolutely, Android is alot like windows, it begins to just start performing badly. Typically, a simple reboot fixes things but one in awhile, a factory reset doesnt hurt.

So how do you do a factory reset????
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimark:
So I found that the clock app is different, coming from Mosaic 9 and I like the style of it, although one of my problems is that I can't seem to make the alarm sound a song on my phone. Anyway to get a custom alarm in that im missing?

On a similarly related note, I installed a TW Clock or something (can't quite remember the name, looking for the link) but the option to use a custom alarm doesn't work if anyone knows whats going on, although the OP said everything works besides the note that says the time to alarm.

the error it gives me: App package com.sec.android.app.myfiles not found

okay im stupid, im assuming this is because I dont have My Files installed anymore or it doesnt come with Slim ICS, trying to restore the app with titanium backup... any other suggestions?

heres the exact one I DL'd: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1558337

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liferules:
Agree, wondering how to get custom alarm sound to display in choices for this clock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liferules:
I figured it out. For some reason I couldn't get files to save from the phone but when hooking it up to my computer, I was able to copy files into the ringtones folder. The songs now show up as choices for the alarm ringtone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimark:
kinda tedious, but hey, not that much work.... I *think* setting something as ur ringtone from poweramp should work too if i remember correctly then.

I appreciate your job but I face a problem. several shortcuts point to inexistant applications. How can I modify these shortcuts ?

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] Sh3rMy:
Good Job.

I think Note is very big.

What Do you think the performance in games with Sony?

Cheers.
[Android General] eksasol:
The Adreno 205 in the Play vs the SGX540 in the Galaxy are about the same performance, maybe the later edging by a bit. But the Play has a slide out gamepad which is unbeatable for gaming. However it also has terrible screen. And you need to unlock the boot loader to flash custom rom, and its not as easy if you don't have the international version. It is going too get official ICS release soon though.

I'm not sure if PS3 contoller also work with Gingerbread for the Galaxy devices, but the iControlPad can work with all apps just like the Play gamepad (using iCade mode and pairing with Bluez IME).

The Note international is the best device I've own by the time of its release, I think the SIII will take it to another level though. But the Note still has Wacom pen support which is useful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KiddHeezy:
Hello fellow xda- users & developers,

This is the first time Post on the forum since I really didn't find the need to.

I own an HD2 and it's been through quite a few roms (mostly CM7). Not too long ago I flashed the Medroid ICS CM9 remix(task9 fresh install on every flash) and it was really smooth, but it had random reboots and not a fully developed camcorder. So until yesterday I flashed the MIUI HSTR SGSII v4.0 which is by far the most elegant rom but as all there had to be a flaw. As i was installing my desired apps and after a dozen apps I got the "insufficient storage available". I had this problem with a few past roms but i would flash a new one. The ICS rom didn't have this problem. I also have 669MB Internal memory, 7.09GB SD Card.

I have tried fresh intalling it, clearing cache, wipe/factory reset. I have search the forum, and used the knowledge of the users but nothing seems to solve this problem.

I would much appreciate if there are suggestions to solving this problem out there.

Much thanks in advance cheers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nazbir:
I'm facing the same problem. Everything was perfect but suddenly for last few days when I try to install some apps it says Insufficient storage and whenever I try to update any apps from Google Play it says Insufficient storage.

NAND ROM : [NIGHTLY][Full HWA] CyanogenMod 9 [4.0.4][Kernel: cmhtcleo/tytung]

Any suggestion please ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chachoi:
I wonder how he got 669mb of Internal memory. I'm jealous!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sweetbinodray:
669 MB ? is it possible? I don't think so. But if he said it an be. See if you guys know how to repartition MGDLR then you can make the partition of 150 MB. For ICS or CM7 roms 150 is well enough. and then you can have enough memory.

You can also use APPs to SD to have more memory.

try using cache clearing apps to clear the cache so that u can have extra memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdelazeez:
Hey guys,

I see the same error message with running 'MccM MixTheme V1.3 HTC Sense.Iphone.ICS.Latest Miui Base'. However the worst part is that the issue appears as soon as I try to install my first app on the phone, so I can't do anything besides use what comes with the stock. Oddly enough, just 1 other fellow member faced this issue (and reported it in the DEV thread), however no one posted a solution to it. BTW I've installed the ROM 3 times with the same observations.

Could someone care to help with this please?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nazbir:
I have solved my problem. I faced that problem because I changed the setting last week, I set the app data to be saved in SD-EXT. I set the app data to be saved in phone storage last night and rebooted my HD2, problem solved. I have updated all the apps which were showing errors :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Today I started getting a strange error when downloading select apps onto my internal SD card. Most apps download just fine, but some of them have this error when I try to download them. Since it's an internal SD, I can't mount/unmount, so I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. I am currently running Nocturnal Venum v1.0, but when I was on the older version before upgrading today, I never had this problem.

Apps that cause this error:

Aldiko

Sprint NBA Mobile

Cordy

Running Fred

There seems to be no correlation between the size of the app and whether this happens. When trying to restore them through TB though, TB just freezes and I need to reboot my phone if I want to use TB again.

Has anyone else gotten this error? If so, how did you fix it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
unmount sd card, go back to market and install apps, then remount sd. been a bug on a lot of ICS builds

edit: i didn't read well enough. I see you already crossed this bridge
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
That's just Titanium Backup. I have several apps that do that every time. Just manually redownload those apps from Play store. Delete the backups for the apps that freeze and redownload, and rebackup. Fixed the issue for a few of those for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
No, as I said in the post, it freezes when restoring with TB and i get this error when installing with the play store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
TB freezes on several of apps everytime for me too. As for the market there are 3 fixes that I know of: 1) unmount usb when installing 2) use a stock kernel 3) clear data/cache for google play and download manager, then reboot.

It could also be a bad ROM flash.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Thanks for the help but I've already tried all of them and none of them work :/

I don't think it's a bad ROM flash because I reflashed and redownloaded 3x and the same thing is happening, oddly enough. I guess I'll have to deal with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
If I remember, FD02 had those problems. It's worked ok again in FD10 and FD16 so far. Can't remember about FD05. You can always unmount your sd card, load or restore the apps, then remount. That is a good work around.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikethechap:
Ever find a solution? I still don't have it. I have had issues with this in the past, as well. I was running ICS a while ago but went back to GB for this reason. I have to be able to get medscape or epocrates. I just tried ICS again and it's greatly improved, but I see this appears still broken.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikethechap:
So, the issue (at least one of them) is that apps that require installation on the SD won't install. CY9 has issues with this, as well, per this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621678
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 8525newbie:
If anyone is still having this problem, mine was solved installing the latest ICS kernel. My problem started because I accidentally installed FD10 instead of FE10. But when I installed the right one, the latest kernel for the latest AOKP biuld, it started working again. Might be worth checking which kernel you might have installed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HTCDreamOn:
Uninstall then re install!

All I did was uninstall then re install the app, this sounds kinda risky because I thought I may lose the app completely, but it worked :laugh: ! I did this with exDialer, but have not attempted to see if it will work with any other apps with this error. Sometimes just persevering and repeatedly trying to install the damn thing works (but not usually!) Hope this helps :)
[Thunderbolt General] goldslugger:
i bought my gf a thunderbolt about 2 months ago. and lately her screen just starts acting up. like the home screen will just spin and pretty much spaz. she can be in the middle of something and widgets start moving around and the screen starts spinning. thers no case or any screen protectors. anyone have any ideas?
[Thunderbolt General] Droided Up:
My aunt had this same problem and I didn't believe how crazy it was until I attempted to use her phone, I never seen a phone act like that. I tried an assortment of things to fix it but nothing I tried worked. She did have a screen protector on that I thought could be causing that problem but I guess not. She has sense then taken it back to version and had it replaced. No issues from the referb.

Mine recently starting acting funky and strange but not as you describe. It was almost as if a magnet was pulling some of the pixels and causing distortion of colors.

I have had this happen as well but it seems to happen to me if I set the phone down and don't push the button to put the phone to sleep. It actually happened much more when I was unrooted and running stock but since installing Liquid Smooth GB 3.2 the frequency has really diminished. If anyone has a permanent fix I would love to hear it and try it out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
Hey there! I have a question, I just got myself a Galaxy Note SGH I717m running 2.3.6 from Bell a week ago and I'm thinking about rooting it. I've read that a few users rendered their device laggy and choppy after doing﻿ it and I'm really new to all of this so I wanna know exactly what I need (softwares/firmwares/files) in order to root it without ****ing it up.. I'm addicted to the phone and I don't wanna make it slow!

I've found a tutorial already but the phone used for it was the international version of the galaxy note so I decided not to try it unless someone who knows what hes doing tells me that it will work and not mess anything up!

Any help/tutorial would be *GREATLY* appreciated! Thanks in advance :D :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Haven't you read any of the android development ?...read,read,read......if your scared to root you shouldn't ....we all read and do research to learn what we would like do or not to do...no one hear is gonna hold your hand and dobit for you...not to sound like a d**k.....but your not apparently ready for any of this..If you wont spend the time to research
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
I rooted mine using mashi's method (a rooted AT&T rom) and it made my phone incredibly laggy with respect to the capacitive buttons. However, a friend of mine also rooted his using a different method and I haven't heard him complain at all. The method he used to root is a little more complex than some of the others available.

In either case, if you do decide to take the plunge, I've made stocks files of the Bell Galaxy Note that you can flash and get back to normal. You can find them at this thread.

And what wish777 said is good advice. Read up on it before you do. Be sure you're comfortable with it.

Hopefully this helps. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
No offense but you failed at it. I never asked for someone to do it for me!

That's definitely going to be useful, thanks a lot mate! And sorry 'bout that, next time I'm gonna read before posting on this forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NaughtyBot:
For what it's worth, there is a LOT of information on these forums, some of it conflicting, a lot of it vague, and sometimes it's not easy to tell how it all ties together. I found that to an extent, the more I read, the more confused I got. But you gotta start somewhere. Merely reading and practical experience are two very different things. You can use Mashi's method. Personally, I used Da_G's method and found it fairly easy and "idiot-proof" but it will trip your flash counter. And I can personally vouch for MrJoran's method for returning to Bell stock (including a flash counter reset as provided by Braway). See? So many different ways of going about it! Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
I have to agree. Best to sift through it and find out what the general consensus is. Lot's of trial and error though. I would advise against using mashi's rooted ROM though because of the lag it caused. It's based of the AT&T ROM and does not play nice with the Bell kernel is my guess. There is a good root method here that I know has been used successfully and doesn't change the ROM you're using. And from what I understand, Da_G's method shouldn't change your ROM either but it does load an AT&T kernel I believe. Pros and cons to all the methods of course. Best of luck and don't hesitate to ask. That's how we learn.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] auslander1138:
I completely agree that the sheer volume of information in this particular forum is overwhelming and, in many cases, unclear and not (necessarily) relevant to the Canadian Note handhelds (Rogers, Bell or Telus).

I'm looking for information specific to rooting and unrooting my Rogers Note I717R with my Bell service and it's been a frustrating couple of days, with a handful of fruitless attempts to unroot, resulting in a re-flash to stock.

Oh well...I'll keep digging and doing this research. It seems that it was so much easier on my Moto Atrix, but I digress :)

Thanks all!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I rooted my Rogers Note (I717R) and haven't noticed any change in performance compared to unrooted. So I wouldn't be concerned with the device becoming laggy due to rooting. However, it seems like every device has it's own quirks so I can't guarantee that rooting won't affect anything on your specific device.

In any event here's a great video tutorial on rooting - it is really easy:

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/

There are other methods listed in the development section also, I just found this method the easiest. Hope this helps! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NaughtyBot:
This method is easy and very similar to the one I used. But I'm fairly certain it will trip the flash counter. Just be sure to reset it if you need any warranty work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
Same one I linked in my previous post. Haven't used it personally but I know people who have and it worked for them. Added bonus of not replacing your stock ROM, which is a big plus for us Canadian users who don't want AT&T crap. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
Mine is a I717M, are you sure it'll work without causing lag?! Thank you very much for the help!! I might try to root it tonight (if I ever find a tutorial on how to backup my Note), I'll report back after here :rolleyes:

Flash counter? Is tripping it a really bad thing?

Finally, a tutorial that seems to be trustable, great! Oh and, what do you mean by ROM? Firmware/OS? If yes, then this method will simply like "inject" the "hack" in the phone? So is it going to be easier to return to stock in case my device gets slow? :eek:

Sorry for all those questions!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greezythumb:
I rooted using Da_G method. Easy to follow install guide. Haven't had any problems whatsoever. But I do agree with previous posters, the info can be very overwhelming. Some devs provide good step by step info while others are vague or don't consider others level of experience when writing instructions. Read, read, read and only venture into the unknown when you are reasonably comfortable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
No need to make backup unless you what to make a NANDROID using CWM. Otherwise, you can use the stock stuff I made for the Bell Note already.

Flash counter tripping is no big deal. Don't worry about it.

ROM is the operating system of the phone. And yes, this method does seem to just add what is needed to your stock ROM. But again, easy to return to stock using the files I've posted.
