Try haxSync

Used market enabler to set your phone to a German carrier and you can access the German samsungapps store. I can see the app, but it won't let download it with my email address.

It was too much hassle at the time to change the email address I have the phone linked to. But if you have the time, but register a new account with Samsung for the German store.

Although I am underwhelmed by the ics upgrade, one huge benefit is that running apex launcher is great. With GB I tried to run go launcher, which is beautiful, but the battery drain was unreal. No such issue with apex. Complete recharge yesterday, left it unplugged all night and awoke to 80% remaining. With go launcher it would have been dead or almost dead.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Love the update kept stock no root, ok there is the tiniest of lag but benefits are amazing.

I just wish that Samsung would release xeu version instead of updating didn't version but I can live with that till UK version arrives.

Only thing I can't get to work is sky email on exchange which is via google but have it on pop3

I'm well happy with my note now :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jock23:
Pretty much perfect transition for me, no root just upgrade over Kies.

I really like the new look of of certain apps, the new task manager is great and I am staring to use Chrome more than Dolphin Browser as well.

SwiftKey 3 works perfectly with it. The Facebook contacts thing was annoying but I just downloaded a free app that did that for me and everything is perfect now, even better than last time as I can specify a huge profile picture to be downloaded for each person.

Tbh I don't known what Samsung have masked with touchwiz but I really don't see what they have taken away from what seems a very good OS.

No issues with wifi or mobile network, not sure about battery life but it doesn't seem any worse. Not really tested the camera but was there any changes to that anyway?

Next thing to wait for now is if we are getting any of the cool stuff from the S3!

the wifi is unstable and can not adjust brightness by swipe on the top of the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] UncleManuel:
So here's my little experience:

Downloaded the stock ROM from here and thanks to this tutorial the flashing via OdinMobile was a breeze. Everything but the homescreen layout was kept. Some apps cashed or freezed at first use, but later ist was ok. But today I did a re-flash with full wipe, just to make sure and avoid future bugs... :D ;)

Nice little trick from ICS: After the Google account login (and connecting with WLAN) every app was re-installed automatically - first time EVER that this feature actually works on an Android device of mine... :cool:

Overall performance: Faster and smoother than with GB. Especially the wakeup from standby is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster. Also scrolling and the button reaction on inquiries appears to be a lot smoother. And then there are the neat little features of ICS which make the cool difference to GB (esp. button arrangement, menue arrangement, little hidden features and so on...)... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GR36:
I found it same as the leaks. Buggy and slow
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robmeik:
All went well

Came from CheckROM v6 with franco kernel v10.

- Flashed stock ICS plus CWM kernel via Mobile Odin Pro

- all working well

- using SPB Shell 3D in Tablet mode as launcher

It all runs very smoothly... no problems so far :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zen123:
ICS in general is ok but I'm having serious issues with bluetooth. It regularly loses connection with my Nissan Connect bluetooth car system. After initial connection is lost it does not reconnect & I have to unpair & pair again. Also before on GB when streaming music over bluetooth the car unit display would show the name of the track playing, on ICS it doesn't & the phones contacts do not transfer to the unit.

The exact same thing happened when I updated my Galaxy S2 to ICS.

Not sure if its just Samsungs implementation of ICS but I want to try another brand phone, maybe HTC, thats running ICS to see if it is a problem with ICS or my Nissan Connect system.

As I wasn't having any serious issues on GB I reverting back until the bluetooth problem is sorted.

Cockroaches, Crickets and Flies in my ICS

At this stage having played with ICS for a while I have encountered a lot of annoying bugs.

I flashed without rooting. I'm going to go back to 2.3.6 for now.

I really like some things but this release is still buggy and I really want a working phone without bugs because this is my only phone.

Is Samsung gonna fix these issues?

I hope so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
no lags and bugs on my side...:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
perhaps it's because I didnt factory wipe before I flashed to ICS.

Either way I get annoyed at these bugs.

One of them for example is wifi.

A few minutes ago I enable it in notification area but the icon didn't appear on top. I went into notification area and the wifi clearly showed up green. So in notification area it was showing it was on but when I used internet apps like browser it said I need to turn on wifi.

This is one of many I have encountered so far at the moment.

I'll just wait for samsung to sort it out.

I'm off to put 2.3.6 back on my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gurnishdhillon:
yea me too have issues with wifi ,,,,and with google play while downloading as well
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
i dont know why but i never did wipe.. i just wiped the dalvik and no other else
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warlordzico:
One advise: factory reset after the upgrade to ICS. No problems at all
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gautamr9:
I found a rather annoying bug that completely makes the purchase of my car dock useless..

If my phone is connected to my car dock and i received a call, the screen goes blank and the phone keeps ringing.. After a minute, the phone application force closes. I found that I can't at all answer the phone when connected to the dock.

Anyone else facing this problem?? It was perfectly fine when I was on stock gb.

How do I send an official bug report to Sammy?

I don't seem to be having any issues, I used mobile Odin pro and flashed from official rooted gingerbread with one of CF's kernels to official German ICS with CF's modded LPY kernel and did not wipe at any stage.

The phone seems to run pretty smooth and all apps used so far seem to work fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
My impressions:

(made a factory reset after flashing, so these impressions should not be "contaminated" :))

General critics on the Update (most of them are well known)

(-) Lags MUCH more than e.g. Stunner did...a bit less in comparison with GB

(-) Battery life is bad...I lied myself down to bed with ~28%, today in the morning there were only 7% left (and the phone went to deep sleep according to CPU spy, no heavy kernerl wakelocks according to betterbatterystats)...but ok, it has to settle first, so I will monitor the battery some more days.

(+) Stable WiFi

critics on TouchWiz // premium suite

(-) STILL no automatic sync with any service (Gmail, Dropbox, whatever)...sync with GDrive seems ridiculous to me, you (at least I :)) can´t open the document there (?!)

(-) No widgets for S-Note

(+) Beside the sync-issues, S-Memo & S-Note are great (but I expected that)

Overall feedback:

I can´t understand the fact, that samsung needed that much time for their ICS update. No outstanding features, not stable (seems to be a gausstrian distribution here)...what was it, that they were waiting for?

Not really satisfied with either samsungs work nor there update policies.

EDIT: Came from GB Stock, flashed via Odin PC + (as I wrote above) made a factory reset (twice)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mug2k:
Anyone else getting the no deep sleep problem ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
It does not look like it. I stand by what I wrote:

most folks reporting problems are STILL posting in the usual useless way the OP tried to avoid specifically asking to state how they installed, if they wiped etc...

the long established fact which many still seem to ignore is that most of the people with problems have updated the wrong way and/or

DIDN'T FULLY WIPE/FACTORY RESET

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EdgaBimbam:
No problem here, it sleeps like a baby. Maybe you didnt make full wipe before flashing LPY?

Don't put the phone horizontally, phone app only works in vertical viewing. That's the only way to use phone with official car mount.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ast2001:
I also have the battery drain problem. BetterBatteryStats don't detect any particular Partial Wakelock Problem but Quick System Info PRO give me the information that that i have a process called DrmEventService (from Android System) which eat permanently between 3% and 20% CPU.

I don't know if my battery drain is related to this process but i don't remember this kind of behavior before.

Hello

I flashed lpy from laa6 w. cf with mobile odin pro with cf kernel at the same time without problems.(dr. Ketans Guide) anything runs very smothly. No wipe. Only wiping Cache During the Flash process I felt beeing stuck at Samsung-Logo but I waitet really long (15 minutes or more) and the boot process went on. Maybe its dangerous to reset the phone when it shows the Samsung logo very long and seems to be stuck.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] marc.tulley:
I used the no root method.

Had stock GB>

Odin Flashed Open EU ROM>

Changed CSC to DBT (Germany)>

Updated with Kies.

Running very smooth, all prem apps, Couldnt wait to flash Nova Launcher!

Now its close to the GLORIOUS look and feel of my old Galaxy Nexus but with a bit more green instead of the cool blue in menus and stuff (Damn you Samsung get some style!) ICS'd my icons away too.

No notable prob with lag, battery use, lock delay etc that some people are experiencing...

Oh just the email widget wont work (not enough space on a empty screen) but I think thats Nova Launcher...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angelinoff:
Totally dissapointed.

Samsung sould not released ICS for the note until they tune it.

Lags during scrolling.

Overheating.

Lags during even typing.

Force closing on random aplications.

Crappy battery life.

Almost nothing new.

Sucks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vitaminen:
It works great, Running Apex launcher and have no issues with lag.

I noticed that the youtube app now play HD video with 3g connection, It didnt do that before unless you rooted and installed another youtube apk.

I also noticed the camera sound, Havent found where to turn it off yet.

No problem with battery or anything else.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
I have a german Note, SCS set to original DBT. I've been running LC1 for a month waiting for the official ICS update. I can confirm the following:

- Cannot change the screen brightness directly swipping on the notification bar

- A few force closes on apps I had never had problems with

- No force close on stock camera yet, I just took 12 pictures in various scene modes to try

- Battery life is normal, after disabling account sync, check for updates, window animations, etc, I only lost 2% in 8 hours of standby

Message for Samsung: Concentrate less on making this a stylus-driven device. All phones have a screen smaller than the Note and people use their fingers. OK, Galaxy Note has a stylus, but stop putting all ROM development around new apps to justify the presence of a stylus.

Top selling brand shouldn't be lesser than anything compared to its rivals. Those were the quality expectation of consumers from a brand like Sammy. Just a powerful hardware doesn't mean that we are using a great device..it must have a great user experience. Best phone should have best features in its class (I mean software performances).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E90 Commie:
I wonder if people did a hard reset or just upgraded?

My own experience with LPY is good so far, it is smooth and works well but I am waiting for a full-fledged customized version with Kalagas Mixed Theme, jKay Deluxe etc.

When I flashed it, I did a complete hard reset and then restored my apps with Titanium Backup (only apps, not data except for AppsOrganizer and Scrollable News Widget). Everything works fine with GoLauncher EX and the power consumption seems to be OK.

I am always doing the hard reset to have a clean device when I upgrade, experience from earlier times clearly shows that skipping that step can introduce different problems.

Eh.What's the point of this ICS upgrade? Nothing new.Even worse.Some things are missing. Battery drains faster but charges faster too. If I'm in one app,then open another,back button send me to home screen not on previous app. And that stuttering on scrolling... Also the screen sometimes freezes for about a minute.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
did you install ics on wiped phone or over top of all your apps etc?

i cleared everything and installed not one lock up and alghough a little lag most.things are smooth plus the battery is really good
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
I'm loving the update, with one or two exceptions.

Battery life - Although I understand this is mainly a kernel issue. as soon as we can start to get custom kernels this will be resolved. I'm just too used to getting 2+ days out of Francos on GB, at full brightness/wifi on etc. I'm aware this is unrealistic on a stock/CFRoot kernel.

Getting relatively frequent force closes on all apps, although it seems to happen more often on Flipboard and Twitter.

I did choose all the wipe options when i flashed via mobile odin, so I'm unsure what could be causing this.

I'm loving the sleeker look, using Nova Launcher, and am EXTREMELY enamoured by the formula match capability, it picks up my equations perfectly, and happily recognises quadratics, calculus etc. not had an error yet. As a Naval Architexture student I can see this being VERY convenient, and it's a feature I'm hoping for i nthe note 10.1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
There's no way on this earth you've been on the internet for 3 and a half hours and only lost 7%, that would mean your screen on time will be in excess of 30 hours!

Flashed LPY thursday may 10.

A few random reboots.. Some apps that doesnt work.. Officesuite FC for example.

Battery drains noticeably faster than 2.3.6 stock..

A few upnotes.. GUI really really smoth compared to 2.3.6..

Colors is a bit more vivid with ICS.

I regret flashing ICS.

That is all.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drakosha:
After a full day with (rooted stock) LPY: went back to LC1. :(

Reasons:

1) - LPY is SLOW. Don't look at Quadrant 3900-4000 points, just try to use your phone normally - you will find that almost everything lags, with the new S-Note (90Mb Apk!) being the champion of slow-motion.

2) - LPY is simply eating battery. No optimizations, no wakelock monitoring, no CPU spy do anything against it. Deepsleep WORKS, but the battery (during screen-on) still drops about 1 percent per minute (!).

3) - Free memory, with NOTHING running, goes down to 120-110mb! Start ES File Manager or something else - and there's 40-50Mb available. 40-50Mb out of 1024 (!). LC1 seldom goes lower than 300...

4) - "Dynamic" screen mode is not remembered when chosen in settings.

5) - Overall experience is very negative. This ROM feels like unofficial port, and not really good one.

6) - Stupid, but still nerve-racking rumors of eMMC corruption.

Sad, but true: I had to return to 2.3.6. It may have older version number, but it simply works better than LPY. Way better. Perhaps, we should wait at least 2-3 official builds from Samsung, until they'd be able to polish ICS to the level they've polished GB.

WBR, Draco.
