Hi all,

First post on here - so go easy!

Just wanted to add some user experience info after flashing build #7...

Works great!

Flashed in recovery from RocketRom v23 & Franco Kernel (can't recall version, but pretty current)

Sometimes it does not wake from sleep, have to reboot

WiFi sometimes hangs when turning on

Apart from that, it's all good. Thanks for the hard work guys!

Yeah I know but I am concerned about the people bricking in this thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
I like Nova Prime. I was using Apex for a while. It's not as smooth and feature packed as Nova but it's a lot lighter. I switched to Nova after speaking with the dev - he confirmed Nova/WidgetLocker integration was in the pipeline. ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Sure thing, as long as it does not involve wiping my data all over again. LOL

EDIT: Let me play with this one till Sunday. If nothing works out, am flashing your build or Stunner. Tuesday is the day I need a stablish ROM. Flying out on Thursday, dont wanna carry a brick on me ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pvillasuso:
lol,

Its OBVIOUS I meant to "try" the software mod [ and it does take less in fact 3min ] , not the hardware mod :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Welcome aboard, Kam.

The not waking from sleep is something fairly well known and common with ICS roms, it is referred to as SOD (sleep of death). Try searching for that and you should find a lot of information/theories about why it happens and how to potentially alleviate it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luckygolf:
Love this Cm9, working great for me.

No sod what so ever, within 2 days.

240 dpi just nice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] T53N:
Regarding the SOD's

I never had a SOD on my Note, but after reading all the posts of the SOD issue, It looks like it has something to do with were you came from (ROM before CM9?).

It looks like most of you came from Stunner, before moving to CM9. Maybe it is interesting how the flashing procedure was followed.

I came from M3dD0g´s LiquidSmooth ICS. I wiped, then flashed Abyss 4.2 through CWM (NOT safe), Wiped again and installed CM9. After that wiped again.

Luckily my Note wasn't bricked in the procedure, but I haven't had any SOD also.

I'm running in tablet mode at 213dpi.

Had: LiquidSmooth ICS

Flash: first Abyss 4.2 then CM9

now: CM9 tabledmode, V7.

Modem: LP5
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bingoig11:
Had: LiquidSmooth ICS

Flash: KK5 Stock Rom with PC Odin + CF Root with batch

now: CM9 V7 with CWM

Modem: XXLPT with Mobile Odin

No SOD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
I came from Stunner.

Wiped data. Flashed Abyss 4.2 (unsafe but did it)

REboot into Abyss Recovery

Flashed CM9, GAPPs

Wiped cache and dalvik.

But restored APPS + DATA (only user) from Titanium.

Had flashed XXLPT Modem from Mobile Odin before I flashed things the second time.

Now, followed the same procedure but no restoration business. Will observe couple days to see if there are still SODs. Though, I already encountered one, but could have been just freakish.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walda:
Warning users to not restore apps via titanium makes sense, maybe.

But telling them not to restore sms... come on... u must be kidding! ;)

Fyi:

I restored user apps+data via titanium and sms via an app. No sods since beeing on cm9. Flashed 2 days ago. My note was one of the first in europe, think sept, oct, nov... dont know any more.

History:

imilka cm9... stock lc1 (3parts with repit)... reset flash counter with sgs2 bootloader... stock kk9 via pc odin... root via zergrush... cf-root via mobile odin... cm9 with followed instructions... problem with wifi on/off... flashed modem lpt... everything fine now

... tap*talked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
I restored everything from TB, no issues what so ever. Even running on my self compiled build! Lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Like I said, Sunday is the day mate. If CM9 SODs out tomorrow, Sunday my phone will land the avatar !!! LOL :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
Done. Probably have a new build by then lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tknguyencsu:
I came from LiquidSmooth

Flashed Abyss 4.2

REboot into Abyss Recovery

Restore Chrack'rom

Reboot into Recovery

Flashed CM9, GAPPs

Wiped cache and dalvik

CM9 works fine for the apk I use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thechints:
Got a log as to how it builds and improves upon CM9 ?? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I came from LiquidSmooth also and just had my first SOD..I think I've only had 2 ever..

The only thing I have changed in the past 2 days is i updated to the newest radio that was released yesterday.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I'm more than willing to test it on my overclocked Nokia.:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
Done! I'll shoot you over the build right now! Lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
You are holding out on me I see!

Even Mr. Nokia O' Verclock gets it before I do!!!

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

.....I also found that radio to DESTROY my battery. I'm still on Stunner....haven't budged but flashed that radio and I was dropping something like 3% a minute. The data connection seemed better, but I guess you can't have great data connection without it wiping the battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] raulfragoso:
I was on CM9 v7 and life was good :) Then curiosity won and I made the terrible mistake of installing the Samsung ICS LPY ROM. It took me just about 15 minutes to regret that decision and then choose to go back to CM9 :D

I wanted to be safe though, after all these recent bricks with LPY, so I went back to GB, CF-Root + CWM and now life is good again with CM9 v7.

Keep up the good work guys :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ValenteL:
From POST 1:

- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery

Sorry, but what is that, a proper working CWMR? I unknown.

The one from CF-Root v5.0.2.7?

The v5.5.0.4 from Redpills?

Thank You
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
I only use a Data sim on my Note with CM9v7. For making and receiving calls I use Skype. I use the stock dialer that defaults to Skype when I hit send. I also do not use MMS and just text through GV.

My question is; is there anything that I can safely turn off or freeze that will help extend battery life? I ask because I am unsure of the inter dependancies that CM9 has.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MonkY:
Did the development for Note's CM9 just stopped/stalled?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Basically anything that isn't the chinese ics repacks with cwmr. LP1, LP5.

Or the recently outed LPY.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
hahaha I think some of these guys want Steve Kondik to show up at their house with the latest update not even released to the public and have him flash it on their phone for them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ykkfive:
i did exactly the same thing last nite but i was lucky this time (i am not saying u r unlucky, or i was luckier than u. i mean, i've hard bricked my phone once already before. glad to see it didnt brick for the 2nd time by doing the same thing as you did which i now realized it can brick the phone)

and sorry to hear ur phone bricked
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DesireInMyHead:
after i have flashing cm9-can i restore my latest GB-Rom over CMW-Recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
This is an option now?! Dibs! I guess if Cyanogen himself is unavailable right away, I could settle for Xplod or Entropy ;)

Seriously though, if it wasn't for these few amazing developers, we'd all be sitting on bricks or trying to swallow that Touchwizzed GB version 4.0.3.

I guess what I'm trying to say is THANKS! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chrz:
I hope that all this bricked phone by users will not be noticed by samsung. It's money. It is possible they do want to avoid such situation in the future. Flash counter has a reason... Please people, read everything and think twice or more. Do not try to be smarter than recognized devs if you are regular user like me. I'm using CM9 without any problem besides this well known.

Cheers, chrz

Hello,

what means this error

Error mounting /sdcard/.android secure!

I encount this error after flashing build #7 and doing wipe data /factory reset

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lexi250:
Coming from GB, ICS 4.0.4 is very new to me and I have a question about accessing files, where do I go now to put my .mp4 custom ringtones and how do I find previous ones? I can't/don't know how to access 'files' now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] golfinggino:
i tried out the alba repack and i am trying to go back to cm9 - i tried to pc odin the gb kl1 but is says error i have used this file many times in the past but it wont work - i dont think the cwm i currently have is working as it wouldn't flash a zip i was trying to do on the alba ics nor will it restore anything - not sure if mobile odin is working or not - i guess i dont have alot of choice but to keep running the alba ics repack for now ( at least it is working for now ) any other suggestions to get me back to cm9 ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] happiboi:
Couldn't resist any longer...

Have stalked the forums for so long now, reading up on questions... instructions... user stories... heart breaks... bricking... SODs... but after pages and pages of reading, I've plunged into CM9 :D

Have now had it running for 2 days and must say it's great~! I came from stock, unrooted GB rom. Flashed a pre-rooted LC2 GB rom via PC Odin, then flashed CF's LC1 Kernel /w CWMR via Mobile Odin. From here the fun began... booted into CWMR, backed up, wiped, flashed CM9 #7, flashed GApps, wiped, rebooted~!! Then that all too familiar CM logo started to glow :D

Setup Google account, it started to install all my apps from the market... and now I'm still exploring all the new features~~ fantastic~!

Can't comment on battery life yet... but performance of things seem much snappier than before so that's a plus. Haven't felt inclined to flash the new modem yet... things work right now so might leave it for later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antsamwhite:
I'm running build 7 over lpt baseband. Running very fast and smooth no problems apart from speakerphone issue. Even my wifi is reconnecting fine. My method for install was as follows:

1. From CM9 over kka I did full factory reset/wipe

2. flashed stock GB kka using PC Odin

3. Root using zergrush.

4. Install mobile Odin.

5. Flash official lpy tar using mobile Odin with ever root option

6. Hard boot into recovery and flash CM9 from external sd

7. Wipe cache/full reset and wipe data

8. Soft boot into recovery to flash gaps

9. Wipe again and reboot.

It is a bit of a ball ache. But it has worked for me. test this method if you like. Don't expect the same results as me though. It seems these Notes are very temperamental. wishing everyone successful flashes and minimal fuss. Good luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] se1988:
I just came from GB Stock. Already rooted. Installed CF LC1 Kernel with CF InitialRootFlasher.

Then flashed CM9 zip and Gapps zip via CF recovery. Everything is working perfect so far.

Im also thinking that the SOD's might have something to do with what you came from

before flashing CM9. I hope coming from stock ROM might be a solution for this. Will

post if I get any SOD.

Thank you CM Team for just being awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jwgallardo:
I want to install CM9 v7 to my note. I have stock GB rooted. My question is if I do that today and v8 come out during weekend, then, upgrading from v7 to v8 and so on; do I need to install apps and everything again? Can we use TB for upgrading? Newbie with CM upgrades. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
incremental updates aren't usually require you to wipe, so coming from v7 to v8 for example would be painless.

Restoring TB backups isn't supported but been proven to work for quite a lot of users including myself.

Just do it ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] se1988:
Read the OP. only dalvik cache and cache partition is wiped.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RickR78:
+ 1 I have been with CM9 since v2 and never had a SOD coming from stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] copperdawgnc:
I flashed nearly every rom out there before the scare. I went to Entropys Rom with Criskelco before flashing CM9.

Never has a SOD on my Note Have had some boot loops etc before CM9
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jwgallardo:
Thanks, I assume that dalvik and cache leave apps and setup intact? Sorry, I'm not familiarized with those terms and differences but then you give me a good hint to investigate. I appreciate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] copperdawgnc:
correct
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kgvico:
I got bad photo quality with the stock camera, tried other camera app in play store, similar result.

I came from a rooted LC1 stock rom, and flashed the CM9 build 7 exactly as the instruction. Any suggestion?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharp2G:
is your camera focused (green square) or unfocused (red square) before taking the picture..? flash it again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kgvico:
I am sorry, I don't understand about the squares.

I did reflsh the rom.

It seems like my camera doesn't focus at all, and when I touch the screen, there is a green square show up (sometime white or red), and there is a notification sound and (sometime the flash flashes), but no photo been taken unless I touch the round/capture button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
having an issue the last couple of days where the phone thinks it's charging when it really isn't.

If i for example open the Battery stats screen, the charging status there changes every few seconds from "On AC charger" to Discharging.

This is causing quite a few vbus_present wakelocks and degrades battery life.

Is this a hardware issue or could it be something kernel related ?

Logcat attached
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] samarium:
Thanks for a definite answer.

Maybe walda is thinking of what I consider the "normal", ie non Samsung Galaxy Note or maybe non Samsung, partition usage where you have two paritions to boot, a recovery parition with a kernel + initrd + CWM, and a boot partition with a kernel + initrd + rom-init-code.

IIRC SGN doesn't boot like that, the boot parition gets booted every time, just with some extra data to indicate recovery. Thus you can't rely on the recovery parition to pull you out of the crap if you have a bad kernel etc in the boot partition because there isn't anything in the recovery partition.

Wth the SGN you only have a boot partition with kernel + initrd + rom-init-code + CWM, so you better make damn sure you don't screw it up.

Also realize that the kernel is what CWM is using for flashing things, so if you have a hardbrick inducing kernel then CWM usage will get you into deeper trouble rather than get you out of trouble because you will probably be doing more damage to your flash memory if you try to restore/wipe anything.

If you have a bad boot partition then you will probably need to use odin/heimdall to flash something good into it, so you are back to the beginning of CM9 install cycle in the OP.

Currently running rocket rom v22 with abyss 4.2, can i just flash cm9 through recovery?? I understand people saying flash from.stock.rooted prevents sods but would like to know if anyone had problems straight from rrv22. Thankyou

Hey. Thanks. I have never used pc odin though. Would i have to re root with zergrush?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stephencwl:
Yes, but you can skip rooting by flashing those pre-rooted stock GB rom from pc odin. Search from the forum.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walda:
I meant, maybe i misunderstood people, why they flash a cf-root lc 1 or lpy kernel AFTER switching to cm9. Thought i read that some ppl did that... to get a cwm before cm9 its ok of course.

Cm9 should only be used with its own kernel. My opinion. But maybe i misunderstood them. :D

samw i want to know also, i prefere CM9 ICS any day over Samsungs ICS with crappy Touchwiz...i hope to see a fully working flawless CM9 version soon, also is it me or does Lane Splitters crash everytime when playing? lol

also once i see the more updates i wish to know where to donate to help out as i love CM9
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skyhigh2004:
Well so far all I can say is I'm definitely impressed with the battery life and overall performance of the rom. For alpha my note on CM9 seems to be running really good. There is still a small amount of "lag" or "choppyness" but I'm sure that will work itself out in further releases. I've been able to make it less noticeable with some governor tweaking. This was with wifi and BT on the whole time

That the standard battery pack ?? Amazing battery life, I'd say.

Never been able to test it completely, thanks to the SODs and restarts. So wanna start using this ROM as a normal daily ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skyhigh2004:
Yes that's with the standard battery. For me this phone has had the best battery life of any device I've owed. My galaxy nexus is a close second though.

Lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Ive used both cm9 up to version 7 and the official LPY release with no problems on either so long as you keep them seperate ;)

I do like all the functionality of LPY but will probably be heading back to cm9 very soon :)

I had no SOD's using the LP6 modem on cm9 and with LPY i stayed stock with no root.

In my opinion they both have their pro's and con's but so long as you stick with the kernel that is released with cm9 you should have no bricks.

Dont try and fix what isnt broken ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iakovl:
If only cm9 was more aokp... Still miss all the custom options in it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lapje:
Good morning!

I tried cm9 before, and flashed it in many ways because for me is was unusable due to SOD. I had it 4,5,6 times an hour. I read a post of some other user and thought I give it another try. What I did:

1. I came from german stock ics 4.0.3 ROM with the CF kernel flashed

2. I rebooted into cwm

3. factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

4. flashed abbyss 4.2 kernel, reboot into cwm

5. factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

6. flashed cm9 #7, flashed gapps

7. factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

8. reboot

9. setup google account

10. changed governor into conservative

And what do you think? It seems to work now. I am running for one day now and did not have a single SOD.

To 'thechints' maybe you can try this cause I read you also are struggling with a lot of SOD's.

By the way i'm using the LPT modem of german stock rom

In that case your note might just disintegrate, or at least immediately hard brick. I wouldn't risk it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Elle233:
chasmodo, I did flash CF's LPY kernel on CM9 via MO out of boredom just like you on Thursday. I got the phone FC. What I did differently was that rather than do cache and dalvik wipe and reboot, I flashed Liquid Smooth but did wipe first and it went well. Please note that I format, cache & davik wipe & flashed liquid smooth. I skipped the initial reboot part.

I now know how close I was to a brick and I feel so bad now that I did not report this experience. That might have saved my dear friend's note. Apologies chasmodo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lapje:
Yes I did read, but I wiped and flashed from CF's LPY kernel multiple times already :) Maybe this time I am lucky. And I think the difference is that I do not reboot after wiping when coming from CF's LPY but after wipe immediately flash Abbys 4.2 and then reboot into recovery!! Wipe again and than flash cm9 etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Don't feel bad and don't apologize. I knew I was attempting to do a risky thing,

and I still did it. My bad entirely, not yours.
