NO need to flash CWM.

I flashed this file odex Stock file and injected Supuser ( apparently it injects the Root from the ROM already present in the phone which in my case was CHeckRom V6) My phone is stock with root. No CWM at all. (until the Developers as opposed to the users. sort out the eMMC bug or give an all clear.

I flashed THIS file N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5

Did not need CF Root using the paid version of Mobile Odin Pro

As far as Battery life I charged to 100% then made sure everything was on I use, WiFi, Latitude/Maps, all SW updates and these were my results when I woke up this morning. .

I don't know if they are good or bad since one thing i don't worry about in battery replaceable devices is how long I get out of a charge. I just USE the device and when it needs a battery I swap it out.

Battery was showing 7 hours 38 minutes. (OPPs Did't see the silent bar)

I don't see an issue here.. 15% used in almost 8 hours.

280dpi working fine without fc but dialer and memo are distorted!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KaliKot:
Its awesome other than the screen issues not really getting fixed though.

Plus it eats up more internal memory which means less space for apps. Also mine didnt come with S Note and grabbed the apk and it installed for a whopping 90mb!

Noted from my Korean Galactic Starship

Couple of issues:

1. Cannot see Exchange subfolders

2. Unable to change the tray icons

Otherwise looks and feels great.

Stuck on Samsung logo after instal via Odin...Help please

Hello,

I wanted to update my Note to official german ICS (N7000XXLPY) using Odin. After going through th whole process:

extracting, wiping, putting in download mode, chosing N7000XXLPY in PDA and starting, it took some 5 to 8 minutes until odin finished with

"REMOVED!" and the phone restarted with new ICS boot animation.

Now it's stucked on SAMSUNG logo. I've tried to reboot a few times but nothing changes. ANy help would be apreciated.

Thanks,

BruXav

Sorry for posting my q? at the wrong place first...newbie

ps: the rookie I am forgot to enable debug mode before going through this :-(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Use an alternative dialer like Go ex and a modified Smemo for your desired DPI
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] georgios73:
A little disappointed.

Memory at a constant 700/750 on GB about 500/550

About 8 app crashes so far. Twice with camera stock camera app.

A bit of lag using GoLauncherEx.

5 boot loops on a restart!

WTF i thought it was a stable build.

Before you all say it must be just mine- my wife's n700 is exactly the same (apart from the boot loops)

We both held out on stock GB for 5 months waiting to get this update. I know there is a lot technical advances to this build but in the end it's all just geek hype to be honest.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
so far so good,

seemed to loose USB mode, only annoying MTP mode or PTP mode,

luckily found solution - if anyone's interested:

Bring up Settings.

Click More… (under Wireless and network).

Then select USB utilities ~ Set USB cable connection mode.

Select Connect storage to PC then.

Connect USB cable from phone to PC.

Select Turn on USB storage.

That’s all.

(copied from here - works fine)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EdgaBimbam:
maybe you didnt make full wipe? maybe flashed wrong? because here no even one fc, everything works smooth rams 370~/808
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SquirtingCherry:
Seems they broke the crt-off effect, i modded my framework-res.apk but after the crt off effect the screen blinks for a sec, its on sgs2 ics stock roms too. Anyone knows how to fix this issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] georgios73:
I have DBT german note so no need to wipe/flash just got it straight from kies.

If my problems persist then I will probably do a full wipe for the first time on my note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
That's how it works. The apps are loaded into RAM so they launch faster. What's the point in having a gig of RAM if you're not gonna use it? It's the same with Win7. Open up Chrome on your computer, completely close it and start it again after a while. Does it start faster than the first time? Yes. Why? It's loaded into RAM, which is much faster than the internal/eksternal SD.

How do you resize widgets on ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] octavian90:
NOVA launcher.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
You cannot resize widgets in TouchWich, install some other launcher
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mimahitna:
Hi,

everithing works great, but...3g doesnt work, only h+.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TechPurist:
You could resize them on gingerbread
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Without any doubt, but not while using TW

except for some special TW-widgets like the agenda

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
Have a stock Note, never rooted, updated via Kies.

screen capture using s-pen is slower on mine compared to before and takes longer for the image to appear to be able to edit it. Did crash once though and wasnt able to do it for a minute or so the first time i tried it after update and was wondering if pen was broken, but now working ok.

I too find the removal of the screen brightness option by sliding finger an annoyance as used that often. Wish they bring that feature back in future update.

I do hope someone from samsung is monitoring the feedback on this forum wrt using that feedback to guide future updates.

Could not find S Note after update and was just blank space instead. Did factory reset after deleting quite a few apps and after restart the S Note app was there on home screen. Cant find 'my story' though on my phone or on samsung app store.

Had a few issues with dialer. I make international calls by calling a third party number and then have to dial the number that i need. Been using that facility for about 8 years now without any issues. But after this update, when calling that number and after call goes through and i type the number that i require, on numerous occassions i get faults as the number typed on my phone doesnt seem to be passed on to that service properly and had numerous failed calls. Never had this problem in the last 8years with this phone or any of my previous phones or even land lines.

Another annoyance is cant change the keyboard type by long pressing on a box for typing. Could do this before but now have to go via settings to change keyboard type. Why do they remove useful features is beyond me. Stock samsung keyboard is horrible, thank god swype is miles better and faster.

Stock clock widget on instal is as rubbish as ever as cant click it to set alarms and have to have another clock widget to be able to set alarms on the go. I use this feature a lot. Even phones from years ago had this feature as do HTC phones but apparently not samsung.

Like the font as the writing looks crisper. Like the face unlock feature as works fine but not in low light.

"My Files" file manager is as rubbish as before as takes for ever "processing" every single folder i navigate to every single time. Other files managers from the market like the one from gannicus are much much faster. And i havent even put my 32gb card in the phone yet after the update. So guess the "my files" file manager will be even slower once i put card in making it virtually useless.

Audio on video recording seems clearer and louder even when shooting videos in the garden. Wish the stock lock screen could have apps (camera, phone etc) to launch directly like on the S3.

Have seen the occassional app crash and even TW crash once and even task manager crash once. Never saw the task manager crash in the last 4.5months of having the phone. And i havent even put in my microsd card yet in the phone after update.

Just downloaded chrome browser. Need to check the other features over the next few days.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] asusgarb:
after some days without internet, i was enthusiast about the ICS LPY ROM, so i flashed saturday. unfortunately, i forgot reading this forum. i only downloaded the root method for the rom and i did that:

full wipe of installed rom

flash of LPY with odin (flashed successfully)

used the "temporary" recovery for flasing superuser

wipe data and cache with recovery

reboot

after that my phone is locked on kies upgrading error. only today i have read about possible bricks of LPY rom with CWM.

tomorrow i'll bring my note to samsung, hoping they can change it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dentalguru:
DR Ketan's Warning

Dr ketan has clearly warned that LPY alone has not caused even a single instance of briking its only when combined to CWM

Hence until a new version is released be careful on this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
You don't need to take you phone to Samsung. Just flash a Stock GB ROM fomr Download mode using ODIN and root it. You can then flash a cutom ROM with Abyss.

BUY Mobile Odin Pro..and flash the stock ICS ROM with Everroot and SuperUser injected. You will have a stock rooted ROM without CWR, I am rooted and CWM is no where near my phone. LOL

When fresh non ICS Leaked custom ROMS start appearing and the all clear is sensed I will again use CWM.....or just Mobile Odin. It seems to work VERY well and the only thing I will miss is doing the Nandroid back ups which I rarely used anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] denialnw10:
Just to add my 2 cents...

I just switched over from the latest Stunner ROM, which was amazing for what had been achieved with an unstable leak that was for a different version of the Galaxy Note.

I have only now realising how much I missed all the Samsung add ons. I've decided to switch back to APEX launcher and all of the benefits of being rooted on a ROM that is a lot more stable, as I was beginning to get issues of deep sleep issues and resets on my Stunner ROM, which were becoming more and more concerning with all of the talk about bricking devices on custom ROMs.

I think the bricking issue is being over-exaggerated in terms of the official ROM, but I suppose it is good that the community is now more acutely aware that by flashing anything on ones phone it leaves one upon to the risk of temporary or, in more unfortunate circumstances, permanent issues.

The new official ICS definitely lacks some of the beauty of Nexus ICS, but I am happy with what I have. It's fast, battery efficiency is great, and everything just works as it should! Had to download the Google Play Music apk though as I grew to love it on Stunner ROM and it is unavailable in the UK currently. Apart from that, all is well and I am still a happy Samsung Galaxy Note owner! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HasC:
I was one of those that installed from GB to LPY using mobile Odin without wiping, never really had any major issues apart from battery quickly getting eaten up, tried all the different things that people have suggested to cure battery issue but none of them worked.

Today I did a system clean i.e. backup and reset from the settings menu and also checked the box to completely remove anything left on the internal SD card (after backing up anything important). I took out my SD card and re flashed using mobile Odin pro and CF's LPY kernel.

Everything is now running sweet, the Note is not heating up after prolonged use, battery life seems to be excellent now, been setting up all my apps with the screen on for nearly four hours and still have about 46% battery juice left. Before I was losing battery power at an incredibly fast rate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] asusgarb:
unfortunately i can't do it. i don't know why, but flashing a rom with odin, the process stucks on factoryfs, and there is no way to let it continue. i've tried with LC1, KKA and LPY again, but no way. everytime it stucks on factoryfs. i have followed some posts here on xda and tried to do repartition with Note pit file, but also after that no good flash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
It's really nice to see that those who wiped the phone clean have no more problems. Again, I really suggest to those who have problems with this rom to wipe before complaining.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChristianTHB:
Have some negative influence in Flash Player perfomance.

Some videos are very choppy now, is it a general problem of ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pepeto2001:
Do you use Swype?, does it work fine once you wiped completely?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HasC:
I never had any issues with Swype before or after the reinstall, I would highly recommend that you completely wipe and reflash if you have not done so already.

I am a regular user of Swype so can say that it definitely works well on this ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MindBlank:
How's the color banding issue? Still present?

Can you still see color banding when using (for example) the Phase Beam Live Wallpaper, like on Gingerbread?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KSauzeRK:
I thought TW won't run in tablet mode...I understand you use a different launcher, but are you able to use S-widgets or S-apps (FM Radio, stock camera) ? I've read you can't use TW at lower DPI, but I don't understand when exactly you get FCs...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Maybe I'll give it another try. How can I delete the downloaded files from kies? I have no idea where it is on my win7 64 bit machine.

Ota doesn't find the update after downgrading to gb. :eek:

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wmz505:
Two problems: 1. Touch sensitivity too low; 2. Screen jitters while scrolling.

Updated from stock GB to stock ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guybrushnosehair:
I flashed it from sammobile trough odin 1.85. Had the latest GB firmware. It works nice, on about 400 ram when using no background processes and dont keep activeties. But sometimes when im going to homescreen, it keeps looping tryin to get the apps and widgets on the homescreen. And sometimes i get * home stopped working*. And sometimes the gallery wont open as it should. got the international note. Tried wipe it too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
How did you update? KIES or OTA? Also, did you do a clean wipe or did you just update and that's that?

I also had this issue. I downgraded back to GB because ICS was driving me nuts. I want to upgrade again though now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wmz505:
Via Kies, no wipe (too lazy on my part)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
I did not physically wipe before or after coming from CheckRom/Abyss. Used Mobile Odin Pro and flashed Stock LPY Did NOT flash CF Root Kernel. Apparently Mobile Odin injected the SuperUser Root Busybox combo already present in Abyss GB kernel. Selected all wipes via Odin Pro. Saw no reason to wipe more than ODIN could.

All my apps were downloaded automatically and SU updated binaries and all was good to go. Market was FCing until I cleared it's data cache. I used TIBU to restore data only (no apps)

Basically I am on Stock LPY with Root and no CWM. I still don't trust CWR. I am guessing when enough people have flashed some Custom ROMS without incident I will be convinced the issue was a one-off and Samsung did not inject some nefarious code into eMMC to limit the use of Recovery features.

Maybe they were getting too many bad flashed phones back "under warranty"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zekurosu:
i came from DXLC2 ...

1. flash LPY via PC Odin (before that factory reset and clear usb storage)

2. flash CF root for LPY to gain root

3. install Apex Launcher Pro

what i have now is much better than GB with TW :D

silky smooth and battery performance is about the same as GB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
I experience the same issues. I rooted to stock ICS using PC Odin, then cwm and busy box. I wiped data later. Is the jittering/choppiness experienced by anyone else?

It's a little disappointing to have such powerful processors and still experience that behavior in what is supposed to be a super smooth release of Android, ICS. I never disturbed the jitter in stock GB.

Is there an explanation of this behavior in ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I also updated via KIES and had issues.

I was thinking of maybe MAYBE downloading the ROM again and installing it as a ZIP off the SD card or via PC Odin. As for right now, I'm back to Gingerbread.

I had an issue of the lock screen CONSTANTLY Showing up! I generally keep the lock screen off when I'm at home, to be able to get things done faster, and click on the widget to turn it off. And it worked! But for some STRANGE reason it would show up after clicking an app on the desktop, or entering options screens of apps!

In my opinion, Samsung released a lazy version of ICS because it had too many issues:

over heating

strange touch screen recognition

battery life the first 2 installs were REALLY bad, the third was ok. Still not as good as GB though

Lock screen issues with paterns even if lockscreen were to be turned off!

Those issues actually made me want to try another device, but hey, back to GB and I'm happy :) even though I really liked ICS and its menus, ways of working, and speed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leonidas540bc:
Yeah went from ics stunner to official. Dpi is horrible. Battery seems to drain quicker. Pen stuff is nice. Will keep an eye on it to see if the battery thing evens itself out...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Did ANY of you who are having issues do a full wipe?

No overheating here and my screen was literally on for 6 hours constant use yesterday. (changed battery.)

I had a stuck in deep sleep problem though, but setcpu fixed it and feels much less sluggish too now. (On demand)

Also flashed LA4 modem. much more Consistennt now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CuraeL:
Worked just fine for me. Flashed it on top of LA6, no problem and maintained root. - Expected a bit more ICS'iness from the rom. Looked like GB, didn't feel as if I just got from 2.3.6 all the way to 4.0, even recent apps window they ruined with putting that ugly "Task Manager" button at the end. Could remove it by uninstalling Task manager in TiBackup. nd I was used to the blueish color scheme from Galaxy Nexus. Waited a long time, got well dissappointed, flashed Stunner last night. :) - I liked the blue, and I expected Samsung to kinda, follow that. :) Just the statusbar icons and other greenish stuff, from GB days. But hey, can't have it all.

After seeing this rom, I swear to AOKP, can't wait until it gets out on official builds and woth custom kernels and all that good stuff.

Anyways, flashed to LPY without wiping, kept everything, and flashed back to LA6 thru Mobile Odin, using CF-root kernel ofc. Had no issues using or flashing the rom in any ways. Just not to my liking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
3 full wipes :) Still had issues. I'm thinking it was the installed OS. I think I might do an OTA installation this time around when I have some more free time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joey.t:
Hey, experiencing some somehow disappointing things on the LPY ICS. It uses up a lot more battery when I use the stock Music Player on ICS compared to gingerbread. I probably use up 5% in 2 hours at GB compared to 10% in one hour.

Second it seems to use up more memory. I generally have around 250MB memory available in ICS compared to the 320+MB memory I have available on GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] UncleManuel:
Nope. Did a full wipe via Mobile Odin Pro, everything's fine so far. Btw: Battery drop was 2% in flight mode last night... :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leonidas540bc:
yeah I have to say looking at the phone today the battery life is far better - only lost 25% since 6am this morning - normal use - so it seems pretty good to be honest!

we are all glad "your wife is back to normal" lol

mobile keyboards, you gotta lov em.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dentalguru:
some problems

- Not recognizing phone book on incoming calls for some numbers

-tethering hot spot switches off every 15 min

-Great Graphics though

-Check out the latest Go launcher EX beta 3.0 -awsome- I purchased apex launcher only to uninstall and lose money -GO launcher Rocks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
My battery drop was 15% in full on LAtitude, FB updates at 3 hours, Gmail WifFi on, Pulse updating at 3 hours.

No complaints
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inflamess:
Flashed official ICS. Battery life and performance worst then ICS Stunner.

gone back to ICS Stunner.. let's hope samsung comes out with better official ics update again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ashren81:
Been using it since release. No fc no lags but the battery consumption is crazy. Samsung included a power hungry monster in the package. :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
lol...

Jay-Z: "n***gas want my old sh#%;buy my old albums."

I remembered how my Nokia phones would last me a whole week back then. *sigh* why can't my brand new rom have better battery life than my year and a half old rom...? *sigh*...

That's because that's AOSP ICS. I've yet to see and doubt i ever will see any phone BUT the Nexus look like AOSP base rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] agbbah:
Came from GB with Franco kernel.

My experience WAS better.

My major problem is with battery drain and heating up

Tried to investigate with CPU spy and better battery. With no success.

I can't even get it to last till midnight. Where when i got it with stock every thing and the above Norma usage of a new phone I used to get 28 to 30 hours.

Disappointment :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] octavian90:
Just noticed..on stock LPY rooted, spen writing is VERY unresponsive! On memo or screen capture editing, it'll take a moment to appear on screen, making writing very difficult. Any advice?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HasC:
Something wrong there, took some notes at a meeting today and everything was cool, did you wipe before installing?

I have found that wiping has resolved a few of the most annoying issues, at this stage avoid wiping with CWM, best way to wipe would be to use the one in settings on the Note. Below are some of the annoyances I have noticed to have improved:

Crap battery life

Battery/phone overheating

Swype works

Much more responsive although expected it to be faster because ICS is supposed to use the dual core more efficiently. Speed is similar to GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] octavian90:
Yeah, I was trying out different ics roms and decided to revert to stock ics.. Mobile odined as before and then wiped. Didn't even restore titanium, just clean wipe. All good except spen laggy. Was super smooth before!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HasC:
Not sure if it would have made any difference, I wiped internal SD first and then mobile Odined. I backed up the ROM file to my external SD card and removed the card prior to wiping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
theres lots of reports of phones running a lot hotter with this build. is it possible that the large file operations are just overheating the phone, which is then bricking it? i know if im doing a lot of copying etc it gets really hot. this would explain why it seems to be happening randomly as well.

thoughts?
