Thanks! I've read before posting, but as i've bricked a few by now, i've said to ask again (shouldn't hurt that much) :)

For example, you say to go on a safe kernel and then flash CM9 through CWM. But on the OP it says: DON'T flash FROM ANY SAMSUNG ICS! ... and as i am on 4.0.4 Samsung ICS... i suppose your directions are incorrect (please correct me if i am wrong).

On the FAQ page (not on OP) i see this direction " Flash back to stock Gingerbread *through ODIN*!". Can you please link to a good stock GB ROM with root and everything?

I tried to record a video using small eye effect but when I reproduce the colors are inverted... maybe the opencv filter is impacting on image compression storage (something like GBR and not RGB...)

Noticed something interesting.

I'm on RC2.

A few posts back, can't remember where, someone was reporting an interesting minor frustration with the homescreen showing up momentarily before the lockscreen quickly kicks when you wake the device up from sleep.

I can second that this occurs...but ONLY when screen-off animation has been disabled (i.e., no fancy CRT animation when you put the device to sleep). When you keep screen-off animation enabled, it does not occur.

Not sure if this is useful, but I was just testing it a few minutes ago and noticed how I could see my homescreen for half a second before the lock screen kicked in when I woke up the device under no-crt-animation-mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thei:
Good point, but considering the ROM includes things like an unusable audio player (Apollo - it downloads all your album art regardless of whether you already have it!?), I think a file manager would make a lot more sense.

My ringtone (custom MP3) only plays once. Is this normal? If so, how can I change it? It's rather un-ideal as it's just an old school bell-type "ring"... so my phone goes "ring"... and that's it!

Is there a way to change the function of the menu key to bring up the recent apps menu, and then assign long pressing the menu key to bring up the menu? Or is there a way to decrease the long press time needed to bring up the recent apps menu when pressing the home key?

EDIT: I searched through all the kl files and didn't see the APP_SWITCH command anywhere, so I'm assuming long press actions are defined in the framework or kernel? That's a shame, because remapping the menu key to recent apps just requires a simple edit, but then you're left without a menu key. It's SO much more convenient accessing recent apps with one touch rather than waiting 2 seconds hiding the home key. That's one of the tiny handful of things I like better in iOS.

Hi all

After flashing 20120719 nightly I noticed CWM was upgraded to 6.0.0.7? and I've lost the ability to mount /sdcard

As I don't have a actual SD card, I'm not not able to flash anything

Can anyone help?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
In the OP on the first page, there should be a link to an ODIN flashable safe CM-kernel.

Do that, and then you'll get a working recovery again.

Now, go back a few pages (if you're lazy: here's the link), and find Chasmodo's post. Download that latest kernel which fixes the recovery issue. I believe you can put it on your phone via USB mode in recovery? I'm not sure, I haven't tried.

But long story short, you should be able to reinstall the latest kernel this way and get your problem fixed without an SD-card. =)

You should be able to do all of this without even booting into Android. Just use the manual button presses to get into the download mode and recovery and such.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
I think he might be able to use Mobile Odin and flash a CM kernel with a fully working recovery. Much less messy and no triangle.

You should have a safe kernel mate and you can flash any rom using cwm.

Just flash a safe kernel from any of the threads. Most of them have the erase command disabled and the flash the cm9 rom from cwm. There is no need to downgrade to gb first.

There have been 3 apps that I have uninstalled so I could reinstall them.

But I can't reinstall these apps because now it says "Out Of Space" whenever I try to install them. I tried installing from the store, copying over the APK to the phone and adb install from the computer.

Is there a way for me to clean out the uninstalled apps? I'm assuming there's some left over bits somewhere preventing me from reinstalling.

Using ntfssmd

Cwm recovery can't find my micro SD.. I guess because its ntfs.. but it can't find my internal storage either..

Any help???

I have the storage on device goes to internal checked off.. so /mnt/sdcard is the external microsd and /mnt/emmc is the internal..

Cwm recovery doesn't pick up either..

Is it really the case that rogue apps can cause a reboot?

Assuming that we're not talking about root apps, on a UNIX system if an app can cause a reboot that would be considered an OS kernel bug, not a rogue app.

Is there anything specific to Android that changes this?

I'm also starting to see regular reboots in the last week or two (and/or "userland restarts", if that is the correct term for when we get the CM9 boot animation, but the system doesn't seem to have fully rebooted, e.g. no Samsung banner, and doesn't require SIM card PIN entry).

Here's my most recent saved last_msg; are the MMC issues at the end the cause, or just a consequence, would anyone know, please?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Well, I'll be upfront and mention that I know little about the underlying nature of Android but I see where you are coming from. I say what I said because I have in the past used apps which caused my previous phones to freeze which then resulted in the phone rebooting on its own.

Did you try getting that emmc brick bug app in the app section here? did you try running a scan of your internal nand?

I can likely only help you figure out ways to troubleshoot and isolate what's doing it....but I still recommend a clean reinstall without any apps or titanium restores to be sure. =]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flintberg:
I second that, I am also experiencing seemingly random reboots, but of exactly the described kind - the phone reboots, but only CM bootloader animation is shown, and the phone dopesn't ask for PIN. I have no idea what's causing this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cdmackay:
Good point, I can see that app freezes might cause some watchdog timer to kick in, but even then I'd have expected it to merely kill/restart the app, not the whole windowing system, let alone the whole OS.

But I'm also not very familiar with the Android/Dalvik internals.

Yes, I've previously scanned my eMMC, with both that app and with a manual dd, no problems. I'll try that again, thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StrangeSavage:

call pictures

Hi, can you tell me why pictures in call screen are really terrible? In gallery or elsewhere are good but in this screen are reallly terrible. Why?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flintberg:
Because they're pulled from google contacts, and there they are stored with retardedly low resolution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
BTW, a "soft reboot" (bootanim but no reboot all the way to Samsung banner) requires a logcat, not a last_kmsg.

That's typically due to a userspace process crashing - and is more likely to be caused by a bad app or, in some cases, a database getting corrupted.

In the case of the latter, doing a wipe is the easiest method. It IS possible if you REALLY know what you're doing to figure out exactly which database and repair it (I did it quite a bit with xdandroid on the Tilt2 since it was prone to db corruption), but I've honestly forgotten the tricks. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:

@Entropy: I have a curious issue with the occasional SMS not arriving with an intended recipient (they're not going to the wrong person, just not arriving).

To combat this, I enabled the option to have a delivery report and I keep an eye out for the toast message to confirm delivery. Today, I sent a message to a friend and I didn't get the pop-up about delivery. So I sent it again. No message about delivery again. However, he got the second one and replied to it.

So, in summary; 2 sms sent, no delivery notification for either, 1 received by recipient. Would a logcat help if it happens again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flintberg:
Thanks for your reply!

Can this be the case of a corrupted TB app restore (I only restore non-system apps)? Would reinstalling all apps and just restoring app data via TB help with this one?

Anyways - is there an easy way to create a logcat right after a soft reboot?

I've been reading this thread for a while now, it's my first time installing a mod in a phone so this is a bit overwhelming, and my english of course is quite bad since it's not my first languaje so I apologise beforehand, here is my question:

Is this mod stable enough? I've seen peoble droping wifi and having sms issues but I wonder if that is common or not since I didn't see in the known issues wiki, so if anyone can confirm those or advice me eather to wait for a more stable version or go for this one it'll be much apreciated, I'm all ready to go finally and install my first custom rom :).

I spent a little while looking into this (I was trying to get Exchange to sync higher resolution images) and found that the phone itself resizes them (I can't remember the size, but it's far too small to be usable on a screen this size) - even though it then syncs an even smaller image for compatibility reasons. As everything you can sync with (Google, Activesync, etc.) will either fail with a larger image, or resize them anyway, it's a moot point - but still quite annoying.

Default picture size on my note using activesync to Exchange 2010 is approx. 308px square (an Activesync and Outlook limitation). While still stupidly small on a screen that's 800px wide, upgrading that by the use of an app such as this to "HD" of 400px square would not make much, if any, difference.

Is there a way to update, or do I have to flash 723 in recovery?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gdourado:

I was asking if there was a way to update directly in android os in order to keep all the settings and apps intact. Much like an Official OTA upgrade.

If I flash in recovery, I will lose all my current settings and apps?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
no you won't lose any settings unless you perform a full wipe.

Just reboot into recovery, flash the current nightly + gapps, wipe cache and under advanced wipe dalvik cache, reboot.

Wipe before flashing, gApps should only need to be installed upon first time installation of CM9.
