hardware accel

hello, im sorry if this has been ansered before, my question is if cm9 will support hardware accel, , because when i use mx video, firs no hw acceleration is working and the rest of codecs are choppy with 720p movies. non of these happened when i have the official ics roms installed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaiiscool:
look back a few pages, I have also got the same problem and haven't got any replies either.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gemini8026:
Hey guys.

Im going to do a N000000b thing and ask a question that I am sure has been asked 50 times.

I just sold my Galaxy S2, and ordered a note (and will sell when the note 2 comes along, I got top dollar for my S2 and caught the Note on sale) It is the intl version brand new.

Anyhow, Comign from a Galaxy S1 , going to an S2, and now to a note, I am strictly a Cyanogen mod user, and when I found out it was decent for the note, Im now a buyer!!!

Is all this EmmC or whatever I am reading about, a factor on CM9 for the note?! Or was that for ICS leaks alone?!

Thanks for not flaming me :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
If you mean EMMC brick bug, it is related to official ICS 4.0.3 kernel and chinese repack I9220. Following the instructions for flashing in OP and staying on CM9 will be perfectly safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
My GFs got a I9300 (unpacked, CMed...) and that display is worlds beyond the N7000's. I tried playing around with mDNIe settings on mine but it just doesn't look right anymore.

Any preferred or particularily good mDNIe settings I should try? I'll suffer a heart attack pretty soon because of this.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] samarium:
I would say it differently, however the work around is as you say.

The problem is not the older kernels, but the flash chips and/or flash controller shipped by samsung. However, as you said, newer CM9 kernels have been adapted so they don't trigger the issue.

There is an apk somewhere on xda called something like "got brick bug", and it will look at your flash chips and tell you if you are likely to be vulnerable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
Yes, I agree, but since we have nothing to do with faulty chips, I just mentioned the kernels, where the problem can possibly appear on during migration to CM9.

tricks in dailup , not able to wake-up and frozen interface

I have two question,

In Samsung ROM there is ability to write in the dailup #*#*number*#*# tricks for diagnostics.

Is it possible to do the same in CM9?

Second, I have treble with the last nightly build of CM9 when the phone is sleeping for some time, when I trying to wake it up and its not responding, or some time the display is up but I am unable to unlock it.. the interface is not responding

any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Haven't had time, it's a bit of a low priority since I'm paranoid about breaking recovery and there have been other things going on (like the whole eMMC mess...)

Already does, I have no problems here. AOSP is missing support for a few codecs, but I have zero problems with AACaudio + AVC video in an MP4 container.

cannot reproduce

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] samXLR:
Just got my brand new Galaxy Note N7000 Black two weeks a go.

I was on the stock international sim free GB 2.3.4 rom for about 4 days then I moved to some Samsung based next to zero tweaks GB 2.3.6 based rom, installed just the basic (whatsapp, waze, go launcher) and enjoying my phone.... only that I don't: my old galaxy S1 (cm7.2 stable) was so much faster, and this phone (the note) clearly have better hardware, so .. i guess this unknown rom that I use is not for me,

which brings me to:

as there is no CM7 for galaxy note, how good is the CM9 for the note? are the updates regular? is the phone fast with it? any major issues in terms of usage?

I am a regular at:

teamhacksung[dot]org/wiki/index.php/Experimental:GT-N7000:Known_issues

download[dot]cyanogenmod[dot]com/?device=n7000

cm-kang[dot]appspot[dot]com/n7000/ics

changelog[dot]bbqdroid[dot]org/#n7000/cm9/next

So I know the known issues but I wish to ask you, the users, is it fast? as I really miss the responsiveness of CM7.2 on my old galaxy s1 (gt-i9000)

looking forward to hear some feedback =p

Hi all

1) it is possible to have the EAP-SIM option in CM9 ?:fingers-crossed:

http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/EapSimAka

2) how can i use (swiftkey x tablet) on my note(CM9) without changing LCD density to 213:confused:

Thnx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
right...if you have market issues change DPI back to 320 and then install app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarkBluu:
Thanks! Will try 213 tomorrow. I have not had issues with that number previously. Fingers crossed!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
downloading build 3 right now so excited

anyone care to answer my inquiry?

I've never tried aosp roms before so I'm not sure ,but just install go contacts as it has that option.

guys I don't want to sound like a noob ,but why do you wish to change the DPI values? to achieve Tablet mode only? or something else?

could someone give me a real quick illustration if possible.

thanks

Best thing to do is to flash a Factory Gingerbread using PC Odin.

Then CF-Root and CWM this ROM.

It's really not that hard to understand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Trijunction:
thanks for confirming..was about to ask.. its an awesome theme..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
well yes of course I can do that ,but my question was specifically for the possibility of flashing from CM9 recovery

and for you information you could skip your pc odin method and flash abyssnote kernel for this as well.

but like I said I just wanted to know if this ROM has a recovery capable of flashing back GB or not?

I really don't think this was a question that should upset anyone !!

EDIT: I just realized that maybe you thought I was on ICS already ,thus your sarcasm.

I'm on stock Rooted LA6 (gingerbread ROM) ,my concern is not over how am I gonna flash CM9 ,that's simple enough

my concern was for easily going back to my stock rooted GB ROM afterwards

I hope this makes things clear

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] T53N:
I use LCD density modder pro tot install a modded market version. Just give the desired dpi for the market and there shouldn't be any problems.

I'm running at 200dpi with a 240dpi modded market. Make a backup before flashing modifications ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frankmehta:
no Whatsapp detected in market. EVEN with CM9 v3 :-(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Yeah, you should be able to Nandroid-restore a GB firmware with no problem, and similarly you should be able to Nandroid-restore this from any GB kernel. I flashed this for the first time from CF-Root.

No need for abyssnote, for example my GB test firmware is CheckROM using CF-Root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Well, looks like we'll have to consider the fugly hack (reporting as an I9100 like imilka did) instead... Which may block some apps that specifically look for the Note.

Stupid Chinese leaks with Chinese market filters.

Well, SODs did not stop, but this time I got one after waking up the device from sleep. I could see the lockscreen, but it froze up and after I pressed On/Off, the phone went SOD.

Hi Guy's, not sure if anyone can please direct me on the right path and likewise sorry to ask. However I've rooted my Galaxy Note running the official ICS XXLQ2 I think it was. I then followed the instructions to put a safe kernel on the phone via Odin (which I have done). However the phone now boots up to the Galaxy Note screen then is blank. Likewise through Clockworkmod I con't seem to be able to mount the phones internal SD in order to place the relevant CM9 files on the phone to install the rom.

So currently have a phone that doesn't boot at all, however I can still enter recover mode / CWM.

As you can probably tell I am relatively new to all of this but have read up for a good week before attempting. So haven't nose dived in. But is my phone currently soft bricked / bricked in which case and was perhaps my mistake not downgrading to Gingerbread from the official ICS build before adding a custom Rom.

Any help would be absolutely amazing / hugely appreciated as I can't make head nor tail of some of the threads I am reading to try and rectify the situation.

All the very best

Nathan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
Of course it's blank, you're trying to boot up the phone with different pda/kernel. Kernel is safe CM9, pda is still stock 4.0.3. Your phone is not bricked.

Put the cm9 build and gapps at external sd (through reader or something), boot to CWM, choose "Install zip from SD Card" - you will se your files. Of course, proceed with full wipes before the install, like instructed in OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nate247:
Not quite grasping this last bit, however I can't thank you enough for responding. I don't have an external SD card, however if I go and buy one along with a card reader and place the files on it. In theory what you are saying is that I can continue and boot from CWM and install them from there.

I'm sorry that it's baby steps for me, however I've spent weeks reading up before attempting. However I think I've just got this last little bit of the install wrong. However it's good to know that the phone isn't bricked as everything up until a moment ago went smoothly.

I just wondered if there was a way around getting the CM9 build on the phone without an external SD card. Likewise have I done the right thing with regards to putting the safe Kernal on top of the XXlQ2 build of the official ICS or is that where I have gone wrong.

Again, sorry to ask but I promise to help others here on the forums once I understand what I've done right / wrong :( lol.

All the best

Nathan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
Can't you manage to go to "Mounts and storage" in CWM, connect phone to PC (with proper drivers installed) and mount your emmc?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nate247:
Again, apologies in bothering you as realise it's probably quite basic stuff for you guy's in the know. But I have gone in to that section in CWM. Some things are checked as mounted and others un-mounted.

I do have the correct Samsung USB drivers installed. So in theory I was hoping / thinking I would be able to still mount the phones internal SD and copy the files over. However this hasn't worked as of yet. But then I'm unsure what needs to be checked as mounted within CWM.

EDIT: when I try to mount emmc within clockwork mod it states "Error mounting / emmc! Not sure whether that's why I can't move files over to the phone? Again, apologies to ask but even just getting the phone back to stock kernel or something would be a start.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bingoig11:
AFAIK Xplod should enable EAP-SIM but don't know if he has made any progress (this is not an ETA question to be clear!!!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
Internal memory is "sdcard" in CM9 by default. Try "mount sdcard".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nate247:
I've pretty much tried that within CWM however when I then plug the phone in to my computer via USB, it makes a noise (so I know it's been detected). However no usb mount / drive shows on my desktop in order to then drag the files across.

Within CWM I can actually see files on the internal SD (old program files and the likes). Is it perhaps a case of having to format the internal SD from CWM. Also I note you mention its "sdcard" in CM9 by default. But just to clarify, I have the safe CM9 kernel running only. Its still stock Samsung ICS as a rom it's probably trying to run.

Maybe an external SD card is the only way now? So frustrating as if I can just get the two files on to the phone I think I'm there. Unless I have done something really wrong?

Again, cheers for your help. I will leave you in peace shortly.

Nathan :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
I think, that easiest way, in your case, is buying sdcard in local store. However, let's not bug the thread. If something won't come up with external SD, you can pm me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nate247:
Again, appreciate this and apologies to those reading the thread regarding the above couple of posts. I'll leave it there and attempt to get an SD card shortly. Will let you know how I get along ahalford and really do appreciate your kind advice / help. Fingers crossed I can get CM9 on my phone as the ROM looks great.

All the very best

Nathan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
Nate, you could also just get and then flash *any* old Gingerbread Samsung stock firmware, boot it up, dont set anything up butbonly put the needed CM files on the card and then proceed with CM9. Seems easier and faster in the end. And cheaper.

#Galaxy Note #CM9 #Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
Depends on where the store is located;)

After all, if the original ICS was LQ2, it is possible to flash this kernel - http://download.chainfire.eu/180/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip - via Odin, get back up 4.0.3, and put the needed CM files on the card. Then to proceed from scratch - safe kernel, etc. Anyways, faster, than flashing the whole rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
Correct, both statements. But I figured a newbie is better to go the dead safe way and take some more time to download those 800 megs than spend any more minutes on anything "unsafe". No matter if erase commands are involved or not.

Nate, you got your options. Go ahead and report back.

#Galaxy Note #CM9 #Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MTAlmeida:
Nate,

dowload a GB rom from Sammobile and flash it with PC Odin 1.85.

Then use Dr.Ketan guide to root and get CWM.

Then put the CM9 and GApps on the phone and flash using recovery in CWM.

This is the safest way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sorcio46:
Thanks for the 1st Release Candidate Guys :D !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nate247:
ahalford, schaggo & MTAlmeida. Thanks kindly for the advice. I'll be sure to pass it on to others as I'm now officially running CM9 version 7. Absolutely brilliant ROM and basically I just flashed back to a LQ2 Kernel. Added the files, went back to the CM9 Kernel and then ran CWM and it was straight forward from there.

Rooting is definitely a steep learning curve but the only place I got unstuck was perhaps it's best to put the files on the internal SD before flashing to the CM9 Kernel.

Only thing's I have noticed so far about the Rom is Wi-Fi doesn't appear to be as strong as it was on the official ICS for the note and likewise I'm presuming all the things such as sNote / sPen app's need to be downloaded separately from somewhere?

Other than that, I'm on my first steps to rooting stardom. Still much to learn about custom tweaks etc to the phone. But so far I'm just happy to have it working and thanks again for all of your much needed help getting over the final hurdle.

All the very best

Very same signal strength. Try to change modem - XXLB2 (good for all countries), XXLPT (Europe) or XXLR1 (Europe/Middle East). Last is the best for me.

No Samsung apps supported, never will be. Look at market for Memo Beta, Papyrus, Jotter.

I like your language. Gentlemen's way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Possible? Yes, assuming a developer that has the ability to implement it AND test it takes on the task. Xplod was thinking of it as he's on an EAP-SIM enabled provider, but he's been busy lately.

It won't come from me - no providers in the USA support EAP-SIM to my knowledge, so no way for me to develop/test.

Use ADB to push the file to your internal SD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nate247:
Ha ha, kind of you to say so mate. I try to be as polite as I possibly can when learning from others on a forum full of experts such as this :good:

When doing something out of your comfort zone it can always be a bit daunting and luckily helpful people like yourself, schaggo, MTAlmeida & Entropy512make it all the more easy.

I started the day a complete novice and now as per your instructions just flashed the ROM again to the RC1 in about 5 minutes. So already I feel I've learnt a great deal.

I'll see how the Wi-Fi pan's out over the next day or two and report back. But so far (even without the sPen app's). I'm already in love with this Rom. Can't wait to start learning more about over clocking / under clocking, all the little tweaks and extras it can do.

Again, genuinely mean it. Thanks to all for the help and I look forward to contributing more over the coming weeks :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] IndDoc:
Hahaha, oh man, I hope the devs don't go HULKSMASH on this particular batch of questions!

But to answer, it is the single most awesome, most incredible, most stable, and most frequently updated ROMs on this device, barring none. Fullstop.

And as long as we have Entropy512 and codeworkx and xplodwild working on it, this device will continue to get better and better ROM builds. Don't even bother with the so called custom ROMs based on TouchWiz. They're nothing but stock ROMs with horrendous pixelated skins stapled on them.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robot12:
Really great, been usin CM on my SGS, using it on Note since release. Great Piece of Development......

Only 2 little, very minor things i noticed

-Signalstrength never shows anything better than -89dBm, no matter what Modem i use (XXLR1/XXLB2). On Stockroms it shows -69dBm to -79dBm and my Girlfriends Phone also shows that values.

-Pin-Lockscreendelay doesnt work. As soon the Screen turns of, the Pin has to be given in, regardless of the delay time I set for the pin-Lockscreen.

Apart from that i really cant find anything, that isnt working :D

Keep up the great work and Thanks a lot......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jermitano:
kudos to the RC mates!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Samsung's RIL is kinda derpy in terms of how it reports signal strength - It doesn't reliably report it unless it is "poked" in just the right (undocumented) way.

So I'm fairly certain (but need to doublecheck) that the "signal strength" estimate is back-calculated from the number of bars - so you'll never see more than the signal strength associated with the number of bars. I'm not entirely sure of this though.

I'm fairly certain this is related to why on many stock firmwares, Battery stats shows 100% time without signal unless you go to a certain screen within Settings first.

In general, signal strength handling is the bane of existence for CM9 maintainers on Samsung devices... Samsung seems to have 7324794320 different ways of doing it, nearly all of them with their own weirdo bugs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bananaoomarang:
For some reason my Note has decided to switch from using /sdcard as the internal storage mountpoint to using /emmc. This is annoying because it broke a load of apps (like the camera) which say they need an sdcard. I went into settings and ticked: "Use Internal storage", but that doesn't seem to have done anything.

Any ideas?

Wifi is the cause for the slow touchscreen reaction

Hey All,

Thanks so much for all your work Entropy and this ROM is truely amazing. Fast, and brilliant with only very very minor issues. Also, screw S-Pen apps; the community apps are better then Samsungs apps ever were on the stock ROM.

I'm having an issue with the Wifi on this release. It looks like the Wifi is misbehaving if it cannot connect to a known hotspot right away. If I have Wifi set to "never sleep" and I'm near a location where I have connected to a hotspot, I have no delay in the touchscreen response, however if I am not where i have a saved hotspot, the Wifi driver scans for a network before allowing the touchscreen to be used. The animation for unlocking (the waves telling you to move the target) works fine, and it seems like all services are good, it's just that the touchscreen does not respond until the Wifi driver is done. If I have the driver to sleep when the phone is off then I get an even longer delay near a remembered hotspot, as it seems like the phone needs to get connected before the touchscreen will respond.

Finally, if I have the Wifi to "never sleep" and I'm near a hotspot that I connect to, it works great. Immediately allowing touch use. It also works immediately if I disable Wifi altogether.

The last issue I'm having, and I don't know why; is I cannot backup my ROM anymore in CWM. I am going to test with a smaller SD card, as I have a 64GB one but it's always worked up until the 17th. That is my last working backup.

Thanks so much for all your work and this ROM is truly amazing. Fast, and brilliant with only very very minor issues. Also, screw S-Pen apps; the community apps are better then Samsung's apps ever were on the stock ROM.
