[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rorschach123:
Hello,

I am pretty sure my question has been answered before but I've searched for it and didn't found what I've expected. I am used to flashing ROMs, I've flashed Stock Samsung ROMs for some time and recently I've flashed a custom ROM, Lite'ning to be more accurate. My question is, a normal stock Samsung ROM is around 300 MB, Lite'ning ROM .md5 was roughly 500 MB and now I want to flash D4 ROM but the size of it is around 130 MB + Google Apps is 50 MB, how is this possible?

I apologize if this has been answered before, I did search for it. Thank you in advance!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Samsung Roms and CM9 based roms aren't really comparable. They're both built on the same framework (if they're both on GB or both on ICS) but thats where the similarities end.

Stock Sammy Roms are often 'bugged' down with their own modified launchers, bloatware and other changes to the framework to make them look 'prettier' or manufacturer specific (i.e. Touchwiz look = Samsung, Sense look = HTC). CM9 (AOSP) Roms are based on raw 'Vanilla' Android as whats found on the Google Nexus devices, and are geared towards performance, not visuals.

If you take a look at Insanity Rom (also based on CM9), its stripped down even further, the last time i used it, it didn't even have a gallery, and that was something like 97MB!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellhound7:
On an average most roms are around 100mb mayb more or less [ but mostly more].......like ZACQ8 said most of the useless stuff is removed and that defines the size of your rom...:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Guillot:
What's really important to understand is that the Android OS itself is quite small, about 50 MB (cf. the Neutrino ROM for Motorola Atrix). What's really big is the Apps the builder wants to include in his ROM (the GApps are a perfect example, 50 MB is huge), and Samsung/HTC include many of them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
zacq8 is right an all the aboue posts r true...some roms r less is size to b more specific is each system file is hacked or twead(both mean the same)some things like the stutus bar ur r modded to feel same but r less in mb...some files r also compressed an most of the apps an live walpaper r removed to give more space.the bottom line is the custum roms r tweakd frm every tiny bit like the fonts,size kernels to give a boost tht u don get in stock.simple as tht......cheeerz:)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tien28:
I just bought an Atrix 4g, and decided to unlock the bootloader and to root it.

Unfortunately I didnt follow the guide so well

I flashed the SBF file. But I didnt finish with fastboot. I then went to root it.

I then installed Rom Manager, and installed CWM.

It then reboots. Starts up with a "Failed to boot 2" Then with a Starting up RSD.

It is stuck at this point, and I am unsure of what to do at this point. I tried reflashing the SBF but it results in the same "Failed to boot"

Im no stranger to hacking android, but I have never unlocked a bootloader before to root and install a recovery. Any help will be appreciate, and hopefully my Atrix can work again :(

Ps, i looked i tried searching other threads and all they say to reflash an sbf file. I cant find the right sbf file, or am scared that i might brick by using the wrong sbf file, so i need some advice on this

G'day all.

I've been searching, and I'm unsure on what to use to root my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000B (Telstra). It's a slightly different model number, and I just want to know is there a way to root the thing and install CWM without bringing up a triangle and increasing the counter? I already purchased MobileOdin btw.

Model: GT-N7000B

Firmware: GINGERBREAD.DVLC1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000BDVLC1-CL1006149 dpi@DELL133 #2

Baseband: N7000BDVLB2

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
Well I am not sure if anyone has tried an N7000 rom on an N7000B. I didn't want to end up with a shiny new brick, thats why I asked here. I already have done a search and all I got was vague answers. Has anyone successfully flashed/gained root access on an N7000B?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not-i:
I'm sure it would be fine. I am running ics on my N7000 but shows as I9220 in baseband as it's based on Chinese leak ROM with same hardware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lux201:
I would also like to know this. My phone is exactly as above (also from telstra au)

...I dont really care about the yellow triangle or counter though(I can sort that out later when there is more support for this model)

I would like to be sure that the process will not brick the phone, this would suck as its only 2 days old :eek:.

best if I know that someone else has done it first ;)

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william_1434:
The n7000b is just a firmware. you can flash another firmware (and it will not brick your phone). the only down side to this is you won't be able to go on the telstra mobile websites, eg. mobile foxtel,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
My note originally from Poland (!) bought via UK back in early November (can't believe I've had my wonderful toy for over six months now!) Given that there were very few Notes back then and next to none in Oz, I was very nervous about rooting and flashing - the challenge you are facing today. I spend many days reading nearly all the threads before biting the bullet and doing my first root!

All I can recommend you do is read Dr Ketan's flashing guide very carefully and make sure you have a backup. I've had a few nervous moments with black screen but always been able to recover by rebooting into recovery and restoring a backup. I'm on Telstra and never had a problem with any firmware I've used (I don't using Telstra Foxtel)

I know that the latest version requires you to flash an older version of ROM before you can root, but once done you can remove all the annoying rubbish and use great programs like Titanium backup to backup and restore the apps you want and freeze the CPU hogs!

I hope that helps you - my experience was different and I felt very alone the first few times I flashed (never having done it before) but the forums have been a godsend in helping.

PS I have never used Mobile Odin - I have found that CWM does all I need it to :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
So if the WiFi freezes on the N7000B, would it use a different WiFi chip or something? I did hear that the N7000B supports 5GHz and 2.4GHz where the N7000 supports 2.4 only. Not sure if this is true

anyway it is safe to flash n7000 on n7000b!:)

Well I finally got the courage to take the plunge and successfully rooted my Note and put good ole' Lightning ROM on there (back from my SII days) and so far had no dramas with 3G, WiFi and S-Pen. So far, so good. GT-N7000B must just be a name, everything's the same under the bonnet. It's not like the GT-I9100 and GT-I9100T where 3G goes screwy when flashed with the wrong modem.

How I rooted my Telstra NextG GT-N7000b

I've got a Telstra NextG N7000b and this is how I rooted it. Was a fairly painful process having to go via the old KJ1 rom as the phone didn't like it and was really laggy. Despite this, I managed to use Mobile Odin Pro to then flash a stock GB ROM with root. I rooted about 3 weeks ago, so things may have moved on a bit and the Telstra firmware may now be directly rootable - worth trying those other methods first, but if all else fails, you can follow in my footsteps below.

As previously mentioned, the procedure should be the same as for the non-b GT-N7000

Preparation:

1. Select and download your desired ROM from this list - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. I chose the LA6 Australian GB 2.3.6 ROM, which is not directly rootable (this is not an issue when using Mobile Odin Pro)

2. Download also the KJ1 ROM. I found that I had to use Dr Ketan's "last resort" rooting method described in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4

3. Buy Mobile Odin Pro.

Procedure:

4. Flash to KJ1 rom as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4

5. Once the phone rebooted with the KJ1 rom, I found its performance to be very laggy and slow. Persevere and wait it out! This is only a temporary issue. Install Mobile Odin Pro and flash your desired ROM (step 1 above) with EverRoot enabled. Also enable "Inject Superuser" and "Inject Mobile Odin" if not already ticked. Do not wipe (no need).

6. Odin will flash your desired firmware in a rooted state. You can confirm this as you will have SuperSU in the app drawer.

7. Enjoy!

I've found that my only concern is that there's no way for me to restore the stock Telstra Firmware in the future. Hopefully this helps those who were a bit afraid to root their Telstra GNote because of the "b".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aspi914:
Was there ever a result to this question - with the possibility of a Jelly Bean ROM being released I would like to (a) Upgarde my Telstra GT-N7000B with an official ROM, (b) Don't want to root it, and (c) am concerned with the difference in model numbers (i.e. GT-N7000B vs GT-N7000)
[HTC One X] shrubz:
Once I am certain that my One X is fault free I want to Root and install a custom ROM on it. But I heard some feedback on another Thread that the custom ROM they were on was actually worse than the Stock ROM and they were going back to Stock.

What I would like is some feedback from current users of custom ROM's on the One X.

Whether you think it has improved your experience of using the One X?

What ROM you are on?

Is battery life improved?

What's not working?

Any other thoughts?

This is NOT a "What Custom ROM is best" thread, because that is down to individual preference. I just want to gauge whether I am gaining anything by Unlocking (voiding my warranty) and flashing custom.

Any thoughts apreciated....
[HTC One X] schriss:
I'm on Coredroid 2.0 for the last week and so far all is great, battery either better or the same, no issues, looks better than stock so I keep it.

I do have stock backup just in case but looks like I won't need it.

I'v been using Coredroid ROMs on my previous phones and always liked it so it was easy choice for me.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
just to add i have flashed first Android Revolution and it blew me away. But now i am using LeeDroid and i highly recommend it due to the fact how well the Leedroid tweaks blend with the rom and how lite and fast it is for me that is.. Stock rom is good as well but with all the bloatware removed i am more than happy.

Battery life best always to judge over a few cycles but so far not bad my friend. I would go for Leedroid for now. and you have few nice mods in themes and apps to play with to.;)
[HTC One X] schriss:
Honestly many Roms are similar so bloatware removed, mods available. Just choose one you visually like :-)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
have to admit CoreDroid looks nice and visually eye candy material...looking forward when we get some good themes going as well:p
[HTC One X] shrubz:
Took the plunge and have flashed Android Revolution HD, as I used that on my Sensation.

Hope my phone doesn't break now!!
[HTC One X] thewrench80:
not too impressed with arhd battery life. tried insertcoin tht wasnt very good either for battery but both emntioned roms very speedy. i think the three stock rom is optimized for our network 3g consumption and the reason three didnt release the 1.28 update like the rest is because of the radio [posibly and the network handling protocols within the rom.

hmmm im back on stock for now removed bloatware with titanium much much better just want a theme.

ics browser is better and and so it the phone app in my opnion would love them to be flashable like on my sensation but still keep sense!

Can you share your apk ?

I have one modded 4 all devices.... but it doesn't work: -(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinx2582:
I've tried both the unmodded and modded APKs and neither will get past the first three screens before crashing. Running GummyNex LTE 1.0.1 (4.0.4), CF3D 3.3 Pro w/ Tegra plugin, more or less almost the exact same configuration as you are.

Grr. Hell, I even went as far as to crack the Tegra chipset checks by myself just in case there was something overlooked.

Perhaps there is more than one version of the plugin floating around? I have to wonder that because my logcat shows CF3D freaking out and crashing in the middle of recompiling shaders.

Oh well, back to poking at it in the meantime.

I need to know the shortcut (vol down + power) because the bug is when i write a message, with the letter menu (long press a letter).

I think the bug is in IceColdSandwich, or in the theme i used, BlackenedFrost !

Now i have the bug's screenshot, see it.

Unable to know which one is actually selected ! Because, there is a displaying bug.

But where is it ? Translation files ? Rom ? Theme ?
