I assume ur not German and u r Indian :D

if both my assumptions is true, than first u need to get rooted my friend.

There r a lot of video on how to get ur G.Note rooted. Some made by Indian also (lot of Indian genius out there).

Afterwards, u can flash down to ics German style :D

as for me, I wait for APAC ICS update hahaha..currently using GB but taste of ICS already

THEN READ. When you are done reading, read some MORE. Then, if you still don't understand what you are doing, flashing ROMs are not for you.

Tried changing DPI several times all result in a non booting phone. Every time i reboot I get stuck at the Galaxy Note screen with yellow triangle.

I've used ROM Toolbox and LCD Density Modder Pro to alter it both result in the same behaviour. I have also tried to edit build.prop directly through Root Explorer but the changes never save even though the file system is read/write. If I open the file after editing it says 320 for DIP even though I changed it and clicked save.

Some people here seem to have successfully changed their DPI. It would be a great help if they could please post what they did to do this.

Would a reflash/wipe with Mobile Odin likely help with this or not.

I really don't like being stuck on 320 DPI and would really appreciate the help changing back to my normal 240 DPI settings.

Hi,

I did a flash on my Note yesterday and it worked fine. I'm a complete novice on Android and just read (on Android Advices) that I should have done a recovery (with wipe) but I never did...

My phone is working OK.

Question to the experts: Should I do the Recovery thing anyway (after a backup) ?

I noticed that KIES now says that my phone cannot be updated through KIES anymore.

Thanks in advance for your advice,

You don't have root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wiccan-two:
I do have root though and I can confirm it as I have done other things that require root since trying to change DPI and they have been successful. Surely if I didn't have root i wouldn't be able to get as far as a non booting phone.

I'm tempted to perform a wipe to see if that fixes it but I'm reluctant because I don't want to start from fresh with everything.

Reading earlier posts in the thread it seems others were having a similar problem but all discussion of it stopped a while ago.

EDIT

Reflashing with mobile odin and selecting wipe worked, I now have a fully rooted phone with 240 DPI.

If anyone is having any troubles with phone not booting after DPI change try a wipe it worked for me.

Battery Draining issues

Hi! for those people asking about battery performance in this Official Release let me tell you this: It's awful! Yesterday after a intall in a have charged my phone up to 100% and i unpluged at 7pm and at 9pm the battery was at 82% and at 10pm was at 71% and today I woke up at 7am and guess what? my phone was death! :eek: no battery at all :mad:. Now, Before the official rom i had CM9 and the battery was awesome! (25 hours to go from 100% to 4%).

BTW: My phone is not rooted so far.

Sounds like all ICS came out buggy just like Windows Vista (RAM Hungry) leading to power hunger and leaving very little battery life. Did anyone notice that both Vista and ICS look similar (and 3.x Honeycomb too!) with the black lower screen and overall darkness like feeling.

I think ICS is the Windows Vista . Extremely hyped.

Just remembering Vista and the pre launch and the after usage...sounds like 3.x and 4.x (ICS)

Need 5.x (Windows 7 or Lion).....

I'd rather play around with the stock rom that comes with your New Note. ICS is only a few days away my friend.

But then, if you're already an experienced user, you can go ahead. I don't think you'll get ICS via Kies as yet, unless you're in Germany.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

And this better REGISTER in everyone's minds. If you can Google and land up here, you can very well use the site's search to see if your questions have already been asked by others.

Please just don't post for the sake of posting. If you want to compliment a developer or someone who helped you, a simple click on the Thanks button will suffice. There is simply no need to make a post for it just to increase your post count.:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
I just installed the Open Germany on my Note.

I know. I'm late to the party.

My initial impression is it's a lot smoother than GB. Very noticeably smoother.

At this stage I have not encountered any bugs. It's been about 1 hour now since I installed it.

Overall I like ICS but touchwiz is everywhere unfortunately. I personally don't have much problems with touchwiz like a lot of people do. I just love how smooth it is.

A question to experienced users. My note is the unlocked international version. Having this Germany ICS installed on my phone, will it somehow cause problems in the future when ICS gets released properly on Kies later? Also once the update gets properly released in my region will it somehow overwrite the version I have on my phone?

Sorry for the noob questions. This is my first ever Android phone and I am a big noob :)

Thanks for any answers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toxicthunder:
If your phone's working fine, and you don't need root access (which I probably think you don't) what's the fuss about?

And yes, Kies won't update your phone now that you have flashed a different rom than the one officially released for you region. To receive Kies updates, you'll have to go back to the Stock Roms.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

It wasn't the wiping that solved your issue.

It was just the fact that you didn't have a complete root.

Do not think that if apps that require root access are working fine (like Titanium Backup etc) you have a Full Root.

The best possible way to check for Full root is to try copying any file to /system/.

If copy fails, then you don't have a proper root.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

I can't say I agree with you. The update is smooth without any battery problems. Confirmed by several others as well (including recognised developers).

Perhaps you should do a clean wipe and try flashing again.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

Flashing the German release won't have any impact on future ICS updates.

When ICS officially comes to you region, and you're apprehensive of doing something wrong, you can always go back to the Original Stock ROMs that are posted here as well and be rest assured that you'll get updated via Kies.

But anyhow, once another update comes running along, it'll be spruced up and put up here in no time I am sure.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
oh crap. I just realised I didn't note down my PDA, CSC and modem codes from my original 2.3.6 GB. If I want to revert back I have to have those codes right?

Man I'm busted now that I didn't note them down.

Also I used Odin on Windows XP to flash to Germany ICS. If I want to go back to GB 2.3.6 do I do the same thing as I did to get to ICS?

Thanks for any answers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wiccan-two:
I had copied files successfully to system, several in fact. In any case a reflash solved the issue. What could have caused my phone not to get a full root, would be nice to avoid it in the future.

Dont worry. You don't need them while downgrading or flashing to a different version.

After being upgraded to ICS via ODIN Desktop. everything is working great.

But some how i am seeing flash red square around the screen all the time at certain intervals. Is anyone else having the same issue. It's a nonwipe tho

usually it happens when you forget to wipe things completely...or wipe one thing and not the other.

Its one of those problems where simply turning off your PC by unplugging the current-connection solves the problem :D

mys tory & issue(s) with ICS

Greetings, fellow android users and developers.

I've updatet my SGNote to german ICS yesterday and found out that my keyboard is typing "null" instead of letters, which was solved by flashing cache.img via heimdall (odin did not work)

The reason was that the CSC was wrong (i came from 2.3.7 XSK) so i flashed it and changed the CSC to XEU. Keyboard is working now.

Now i found a another issue.

I open the dialer, start to type the name of some contacts. It successfully finds some, but if i type more than 2 numbers, it adds a slash to the number and if i select to show the results, the dialer force closes. Can anyone confirm that? Is there a solution to that?

I've not flashed anything through Odin Desktop before, I can't make sense of the program (and yes, I did look around using the search function, I've been t it for a good 30 mins).

I have the ROM file, downloaded through FusDownloader. When extracted, I'm left with cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin and zImage.

Odin Desktop doesn't accept img filetypes and it has me concerned that simple chanigng filetypes isn't the intended course of action.

So, am I supposed to change the filetypes or am I doing something stupidly wrong?

I think I have lost root access..i can't paste anything in system folder. Will the above work for me to get the root access back? Am on ICS LPY with CF Kernel..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] v0id_walker:
Well, you are supposed to end up with tgz.md5 file which should contain all the files you've described.

either search for another download link, or you may as well try to tar-gzip those files and flash them (not really safe as they might get corrupted and i gues we really dont want that)

Last possibility is to use the heimdall commandline tool (simple, really, bud use the 1.2 as the newer ones seem to have some bug concerning the libusb driver) where you can use the files you have got to flash them.

EDIT: as for my issue with the dialer.

The issue shows up ONLY if one of the first two numbers are from 0-5 (meaning the bug shows up if i type 222 resulting in 2/22 which effectively kills the dialer (666 does not trigger this behaviour)), can anyone try that as well? (on a czech/slovak forum, i have met some guys with the same kind of issue)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aero089:
Ah yes, they do originate from a file with that extension. Where do I need to put the file into then? Bootloader, PDA, Phone or CSC?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] v0id_walker:
you need to put that file to PDA.

but it is recomended to use the mobile odin, as it would seem that the Odin might not flash your CSC correctly... which can result in the samsung keyboard not working.

Stock German GB Kies upgrade *fail* What now?

Bought the GT-N7000 from Amazon.com, it arrived speaking German. My first Android device, coming from HTC and Nokia and familiar with ROM flashed there.

Just ran fresh Kies from Samsung website and it had a big orange upgrade firmware button, so I clicked it.

For the past 2 hours it says 'GT-N7000(19094513110) firmware upgrade in progress Please do not disconnect the cable connected to the PC. and has a progress bar stuck at 90%' Cancel button is disabled.

The phone says "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"

If I kill Kies how bad will the phone be? Brick?

A: Nope. Killed Kies, prompted to run Kies Emergency Firmware Recovery. Did (Thinking of warranty), succeeded and find it now has ICS.

*worst* firmware upgrade experience ever, but hey, not a brick. Kies uninstalled with extreme prejudice.
