If you did not changed the Kernel in PA 0.2 you can safely go to PA 0.4 without worries. Do check the FAQ in Post Nr. 3 for confirmed Q&A. But also remember as cleaner your change is as better the chances are you dont have a slip up in the new Version. Meaning restore as little as possible to minimize chances of a problem. Flash, clean dalvik, clean cache, install gapps, and start it up.

@everyone: I would like to add this to the FAQ. Any objections to the wording or content?

Q:How can I manualy initiate the restore from my Google Backup?

A:Restoring via Google Account after a factory reset must be done during initial setup. Apps cant be restored after that and will have to be manualy selected. It would require another Factory Restore and then do it during initial setup.

Hi all i am from rr7 and i will try this room. What step must i do to flash this room?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Please read the many topics on this before asking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] swiss420:
Well first step is that you read allot more and definetly everything in the first couple of posts. Then if you still have a more specific Question you can come back here but do post a little more information. It won't do you no good taking shortcuts. A great running PA is the reward for reading and finding the answears.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chaipunk:
Sorry before. I mean maybee any other way than goin back to gb first?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Read a page or 2 back, this was just discussed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chaipunk:
Got it. I think better to back on gb first. Will try this. Thanx mate.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] zazolo:
hi there, I'm about to change from stock GB rom. It's not that I have some problems, but it's only in my mind... I want to try something different

I need a stable and clear rom, and the two that I'm looking for are this one and AOKP.

I have a question, why neither one of the two have a native version for galaxy note? I can find only for GS2 and GNexus...

what's your opinion about paranoid? is stable enough for everyday use at work without complaints?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chasmodo:
You are asking people if Paranoid is any good in Paranoid thread? Srsly?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] keithleyson:
I did have random reboots, poor battery, and some unknown memory leak. Now I have reinstalled 0.4a with full wipe and no Tibu restores. It seem to have fixed everything. I am now slowly installing apps and will track which app or setting that causes all the troubles. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mburrieza:
The biggest problem with paranoid is that when you test it you can't use any other ROM anymore. The DPI per app is one of the coolest features I saw on a custom ROM and totally makes sense on the note screen size and resolution.

Thanks imilka and paranoid team for sharing this great ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Spartoi:
Anyone know why some Play Store apps are compatible with TW ICS roms but not PA? I'm guessing it has to do something with the build prop but they both look the same to me as for as device identification goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Not sure if the Market still checks but it could be your screen density if it's lower than stock.

i am currently on midteam 1.5. After reading through the 1st 8 pages, i rockon the steps to flash PA is :

I have some queries (in brackets). Hope bros can help enlighten)

- download aby kernel, (if i am currently on cf 5.6 kernel, can I skip this? Means i reboot to recovery and flash PA rom and Gapp)

- download PA rom

- download gapps

- reboot to recovery

- flash aby kernel

- flash PA rom

- flash Gapps.

- Do the 3 wipes

- Reboot

- Done

Is there an alternative that I dont have to do a fullwipe? Or is it a must to do a fullwipe although i am on midteam? Is it necessary to downgrade to GB. Root it then proceed from step 1 again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Always wipe before flashing, not after.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] pattiman:
I always reboot recovery (through advanced menu) before flashing PA and GApps

Custom boot animation

I have lost my mind trying to add my custom boot animation. Can anyone give me directions how to copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media. I keep getting a Access Denied Message. using Astro File Manager. also trying to flash it through ADB with Boot Animation Factory. keep getting failed error.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] SpyderTracks:
You need to make /system/media writable to add the zip file. If personally use root explorer, very easy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] swiss420:
Have you tried Root Explorer and changed /system/media to R/W prior to pasting. Then change the permissions to the correct settings and put /system/media/ back to R/O. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] XeOniFiCaTiOn:
Thanks guys.. .got it done by root explorer only.. thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] aliaskari:
thanks no i never altered or flashed any kernel on my note ever since i moved from stock gb to pa 0.1 and 0.2

so im safe to flash 0.4 over 0.2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] aliaskari:
thanks buddy will flash over 0.2...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Leechoonhwee:
I would like to ask anyone who tried changing font in PA. I have tried many font changers and even manually overriding the roboto fonts but nothing changed.

I was beginning to wonder whether is PA using Roboto as default font at all?

At the same time, I noticed that ICS do not like the Roboto Bold to be altered and it will result in a bootloop. Would like to know any workaround?

CHeers!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Maniii96:
Hello community!

I am at CM 9 at the moment. This ROM looks so great! Does it run as fast as CM9 and how often does it get updates?

Will this ROM get an update to JB?

Sorry for these stupid qustions but I am not an native english speaker and 14 (no joke) years old!

I read the OP many times but I prefer it to ask twice. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chasmodo:

ALBA

Is it okey to go from Alba ICS rom to PA without flashing GB? Alba uses Fraco Kernel i belive ...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Maniii96:
''yes'' for every question?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
nobody is replying my previous 2 querries... I am on rooter stock ICS rom with stock kernel..

Can I go this way ? OR installing GB rom is required?

download Abyss Kernel 4.2

- put zip-file on your USB-storage

- boot in Recovery

- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!

- boot back in Recovery (find it under 'advanced')

- now FullWipe!!!

- Flash ROM

- reboot system

-...you are done
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mrcarlxx:
That's what I have seen on YouTube, let me know how it goes....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
lol

am not going to flash that way before op or some experienced member say me so... dont wanna brick :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] kitrax59:
installing GB rom is not required but it is the safest way, avoiding the brick bug.. You can proceed with this route.. just make sure you are on Abyss kernel when doing the wipes. Use the redpill one..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Abu Here.:
The phone is very hot as it starts the wifi. ;/ so too do you have?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mrcarlxx:
Damn it, this is the way I wanted to do it too, but I am to scared also lol

Right there is all these questions about how to get to pa safely, is there a post on how to get back to ics safely, eg through a backup one has made...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mrcarlxx:
Which is the redpill one, and why this one and not the normal one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] swiss420:
Unbelievable what that Bug did to this forum.

Ok guys let me try to explain how this works. I understand you are all scared to brick your devices but fear is a good indicator that you are not ready to flash yet. It realy does not matter what ROM you are coming from. What is much more important is, if the Kernel you are running at the moment is safe or not. Please ask in your current ROM Thread if the used Kernel is safe or if a detour to a safe GB Kernel is recomended before moving on. Now if your ROM is running a safe kernel or not is realy outside of the scope of this Thread. Once you are on PA you dont have those problems anymore. Paranoid Android is running a CM9 based Kernel which is safe. Dont expect someone here to go to the thread of the ROM you are currently using to research if your kernel is safe or not. The Procedure is clearly stated in the first couple posts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
true,

we are just asking on stock ics rom with stock kernel and stock recovery.. just done root, never installed any custom rom.. Wanna do it nowwww, but fear..

also dont have that good internet to download GB, PA and all...

so just to be super safe, asking, can we skip GB step?

and just install abyss via my stock recovery, wipe, flash rom and done?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mrcarlxx:
I am using speed mod kernel on ics rom. I am going to flash rocket rom and then flash pa from there.

I know what you are saying about following the OP way, but there are loads of videos of getting back to GB just using cwm rather than having to flash stock GB through PC Odin then having to re-root and then flashing abyss and pa.

Just thought the OP might be a little out dated and there might be easier ways worked out as time has passed.

The reason I am scared is because I already broke one note and don't want to have to take it back to the shop again, it would be embarrassing more than anything as he said he never had a note back to the shop with a problem...lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] statsminister:
I were runnig the ALBA ICS rom wich is Samsung ICS based. I Just downloaded the AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip and booted in to Recovery, installed the Kerner, rebooted in to recovery again, did a full wipe and then installed PA, worked were well for me. Now its time to play with the WONDERFULL ParanoidAndroid!

Hopes this helps, regards Jonas
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
ok great

just 2 more doubts

where can i download that redtouch file?

and can I flash this kernel from stock recovery? or requires cwm recovery? if cwm, download link plz.:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Moon2:
You can use that method without probs, works on any ics rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
can i flash abysskenel from stock recovery or cwm required?

i have backed up my apk+data... can we keep all the data by installing PA from stock? :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chappad singh:
as per op post, if i want to jump to the paranoid, it says we need to downgrade to some gb rom first and non samsung kernal, can someone suggest if i downgrade my note which is currently on ddlpa ics with cf-root, to xxkl3 india gb rom, then can i str8 jump to paranoid or i have to change my kernal to non samsung and then flash the paranoid.....lil confusion please help....thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
also after flashing GB, is rooting and non-stock recovery required?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] statsminister:
Is there any mirror to the HYBRID GAPPS? The link in first post is SLOW. 3 hours to download 50 mb ...

*edit* Google seems to be my friend. Got it now.

I LOVE Paranoidandroid!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] kitrax59:
I just prefer the redpill one coz it is red.. ahahaha! anyway, it distinguishes itself from the other CWM recoveries which is blue.. you won't be confused if you have flashed abyss or not.. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chappad singh:
i m going to downgrade from ddlpa to xxkl3 gb is that ok will it downgrade safely? and after that can u provide me the link to root and non-stock recovery files.....please revert
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] SpyderTracks:
You need root and cwm recovery as it states in op.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] SpyderTracks:
Yes, use PC odin to flash rom, then root and install cwm. Check the stickies in development for Dr K guide on rooting and cwm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chappad singh:
i cannot downgrade from pc-odin? and after this all is done, i need to install abyss kernal and then flash panaroid or how? please guide....thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mrcarlxx:
Yay...i just got to gb.

Well rocket rom, but it is gb so now all i have to do is flash pa...whoop.

As i was flahing rocket rom i was crapping myself lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] aliaskari:
okay guys one last tine i am asking for a experience pa user advice

i bought galaxy note... flashed rootable gb rom.... then flashed pa 0.1 and 0.2...

when it comes to flashing thats all i have done so far with my note...

1-flashed rootable gb rom so i can root

2-flashed paranoid android rom 0.1

3-flashed paranoid android rom 0.2 over 0.1

now 0.3 came out but i didnt updated now we are on 0.4

so i hav never alter or flashed any kernel whatsoever on my note ever since moving from gb rootable rom to pa 0.1, 0.2

so can i just simply safely without any worries of bricking can flash 0.4 over 0.2?

tnx in adv...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Moon2:
If you don't have cwm, you can use odin to install the kernel (Attached tar image). I have also attached the cwm image (zip file) found in the abyss kernel section.

If you used a backing up app, then install that on PA and use the app to restore.

As mentioned above, you need to use odin and the xxkl3 file here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

After you do this, you need to root it and install cwm, then you just flash PA. No need to change your kernel.

How to root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

Yes

Yes, and done so in above quote

No need to flash abyss kernel before flashing paranoid after downgrading to gingerbread. Make sure you have kies installed and hence all of the necessary drivers.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

You can, but most people (such as myself prefer to install abyss kernel before doing so as we know for sure gingerbread kernels are safe.) An accidental inclusion of the emmc erase code in cm9 kernel updates is possible right? so, best to go with a kernel that has been working and hasn't been changed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Maniii96:
Is v0.4 the latest version?

And how often will arrive updates?

And does this ROM support german language?

You can flash and use Abyssnote from ANY rooted ROM. Just reboot straight back into recovery after flashing, verify your on Abyss, do your wipes and flash your new zipROM.

Done it heaps of times;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] aliaskari:
thanks buddy i will flash this

but i hav never flashed kernel before

what shud i do in order to flash this file?

i have downloaded it and its in the sdcard/download folder right now

so do i hav to extract this. 7z file or just reboot into recovery go to sdcard/download directory and flash this. 7z file directly?

one more thing now my steps to flash 0.4 over 0.2 are :-

(im on pa 0.2 right now)

-reboot into recovery and flash abys kernel

-reboot into recovery do all the wipes

-reboot into recovery flash pa 0.4 and gapps

RIGHT????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chappad singh:
that means after downgrading on gb stock xxkl3 i need to replace the inbuilt kernal with abyss then flash the paranoid rom....please revert
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] kitrax59:
If you're already on a previous version of pa, 0.2, just flash the new version, 0.4.. wipe cache and dalvik cache.. no need to flash abyss if you just want to update to the latest version. Abyss or gb rom is only necessary if you are coming from STOCK ICS..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] meethere:
the link is not working... :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] alainwolf:
To be in the safe side and not brick your device, always follow the instructions from the first post. If you are too scared then follow the instructions. Its very safe.

Using odin is safer than flashing from CWM.

And while following the instructions, you will know that you have a clean rom so you will get the perfect experience!

Since my contacts are synced with Google, I have only to backup my call logs and SMS/MMS using my backup root. And I always reinstall my apps from the market 80+ apps just to avoid any issues and to be in the safe side and to make my system as stable as possible while doing it this way!

If you want to avoid issues/problems, always do it this way. If you want a perfect rom, then its worth all time to do it.

Thanks imika for the amazing rom! ..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] aliaskari:
well one said to flash abys even if u r on pa 0.2

u say flash directly no need for abys since i am pa 0.2 and hav not made any changes to the kernel since i hav rooted my device

if i read OP then yes i should just flash 0.4 over 0.2

but yet m confused now....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] alainwolf:
Just reboot to recovery install it over 0.2 then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Reboot to system. And that's it.

No need to install any kernal for that.

I'm 99.9% sure the stock font in PA is Roboto. I personally haven't tried any font changer apps, or anything like that but I did use a CWM flashable .zip file to change the font to the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean font. I must admit, it looks a LOT better :D

Here's a link to the file (courtesy of kevin2516):

Hey guys !

I am currently on AOKP, i like it, but there are a few things i dont like, so i think abour using ParanoidAndroid.

-How much battey do you get? With AOKP i get 2-3 days

-Are there all the Custom Things like in AOKP? Lockscreen, Weather, Colors, Clock, Battery?

-Do u have SOD's ? On AOKP i have 2-3

-How about Status Bar Toogles? Is there a Data Toogle which is missing in AOKP?

-How good is the Camera support? On AOKP it feels like the quality of the cam is like 30% worse than on TW Roms.

-How much do you like PA on a scale from 1-10?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

iam using the PA Rom sinth 2 weeks now and it is awsome,

but is there any changelog for the new Kernel?

I flashed the one from July/06 and the only thing I noticed is that the Antutu Score dropped from 6300 (stock PA Kernel) to 5400 (July/06).

EDIT: I made a new Antutu Benchmark and what can I say: 6600 Points with the new Kernel! Great! Hope Batterylife is also good.
