What dialer/contacts app are you using in PA, guys? I don't really like the stock ICS one.

I tried "go contacts ex" and it's QUITE good but I want to know if there are some good alternatives, possibly with SIM card and FB sync support
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rom08:
Try exdialer

Sent from my paranoid note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
Yes others have told me PA has such a feature so I have swiped thousands of ways across the status bar and anything else I can think of and I've never seen the slightest hint that any of this changes the screen brightness. Also I have read that there is a setting for this, but I know the latest version does not have this setting. I have very carefully gone thru every single settings page dozens of times (very slowly and making sure to scroll to the bottom to make sure I am not missing something) and believe me there is no setting that mentions anything about changing the brightness by swiping the status bar. I could miss it going thru once or twice ... but not a dozen times!

You are like my physics professors in college that would tantalize me with snippets of information to lead me on my own path to self discovery ... although in this case I have found nothing. Many google hits on people asking the same question (how to change the home double tap behavior) but no answers. I found some applications that seem designed for Motorola phones but they haven't been updated in well over a year and they didn't look at all promising to work on a galaxy note. If you have an application that can do what you say it does ... please let me know what the name of it is. I have been obsessing trying to think of ways to solve this problem for a week now, and such a double tap app would certainly do the trick!

The slider is in the notification area. Open it and you can see it together with the widgets like airplane mode, wifi, etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kitrax59:
adjusting brightness via statusbar may only work if it is in phone mode (on top) and not on tablet mode (bottom)..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] meethere:
why no 15 toggle buttons in tablet mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
Yes I knew that. (Looks like you didn't see the post with my original question ... I mentioned several reasons why I don't find that useful).

I still think this double tap assignment is the answer. Just hope aalupatti wasn't kidding and will come thru with the name of the app.

Further, brightness modification through sliding the top part works only on phone mode AND when automatic brightness is off. Works great.

PA ROM seems to stand unique among the crowd and I want to flash it. The only thing stopping me is Swype keyboard. Yes there is TouchPal but frankly I could not get accustomed to TouchPal though both are now the same company developed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bcn_nospam:
Swype Beta from Swype works great on PA.

My personal favorite, although not swype'able, is Switkey 3 Trial. Using it with 3 languages US, French and Spanish and it works amazingly well, especially when writing Frenglish or Spanglish.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] [XIX]Secutor:
Agree.

I use Swype with stock phone ui/dpi and it's cool as always
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RochiWizz:
slideit works just as well as swype or at least I think so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
Oh my gosh!!! You weren't kidding. Such an application does really exist :) :)

This solves all my problems with the galaxy note.

I can't believe this was so hard to find. I can't imagine that anyone would uninstall this application after trying it. It's like getting 3 extra hardware buttons for free!

I'm using:

- Home,Home to bring up Qbright.

- Home,Back to bring up papyrus (you never know when you need to scribble a note)

- Home,Menu to bring up a toggle widget (haven't decided which one yet, although I'm sure it will be easier to use than the built in PA one).

Thanks a million.

nandroid backup questions

I'm running PA build 26-Jun (Kernel 3.0.32-CM-g12ef675). I first tried to do a nandroid backup by running the app "ROM Manager" from which I clicked the 2nd line "Reboot into Recovery". After clicking "OK" to the are you sure question it just hung there for about a minute and then it said "ROM Manager is not responding. Would you like to close it?" (I clicked on OK). So why is it doing this?

Next I selected "Reboot" from the power button, and then selected the 2nd choice (Reboot to recovery). This worked and I was able to select the backup option. After rebooting I looked for the backup on the external sd card. I had MTS usb mode selected, so on my windows PC I see "GT-N7000" under "Computer". Under that I see "Internal Storage" and "SD Card". Under the SD Card I see the clockworkmod folder containing my nandroid backup as well as a LOST.DIR folder. (can I delete the various LOST.DIR folders I find?). Of course I copied this folder to my PC for safe keeping. This folder was about 461 Mbytes.

I wondering what it puts in the backup folder. I know it can't be all the data on the internal SD card because it contains this large (1.5GB) folder "Android\data\com.rmstek.express\files\Maps". It's probably just as well it doesn't try to put those maps in the backup since It would be more convenient to back them up separately, but I would like to know what else if anything is not included in the backup.

I'm also confused about the folder structure since the external SD Card also can be found under the "Internal Storage" selection by going to the "external_sd" folder. There I see some folders which were created by some applications since I had told them to use the external sd card for storage. However I can't see the data inside these folders!

I can see the data inside those folders by two other methods however. One is by running the "ES file Explorer" file manager in the note, navigating to "external_sd". There I can see the folders I mentioned above as well as all the data inside them. I also can see these folders and the data on the PC by using the ftp server that the ES file explorer provides. However from this file explorer I can't seem to find the nandroid backup folder. If I go up a level (since I have super user status enabled) I see all sorts of interesting folders (such as cache,data,dev,efs,etc,mnt,sdard,sys,system ... and many more). I suspect the nandroid folder is in one of those special folders. I would like to find it, but I have searched there to no avail. Is it there somewhere, or am I looking in the wrong place?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
ROM Manager is not supported on the note afaik, it's a general inclusion within cm I think. You'll need mobile odin instead.

I've used Rom Manager and works without problems! :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cinthiar:
Just installed PA 0.5 as my first custom rom on my new Note. This rom is so amazing, truly different from anything I have used before. Makes the phone come alive. Despite being the most awesome phone I have ever used even with the original ICS it still felt like it lacked something. Paranoid Android makes this baby shine! Thanks Imilka for doing such a great job with your rom! PA is the way Samsung should have done this. :good:

This might be a stupid question but i seem to have lost notification icons from my statusbar. So when i get sms or email etc. I dont see icon next to the clock to notify me, i see the notifications if i open the statusbar. Any help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] timteka:
Still don't understand how most of us use Paranoid in tablet mode (probably that's why nobody still replies my post concerning phone ui bugs).

Guys, how can you operate the Note having the status bar in the bottom? IMHO, it's impossible to type smth when you get notifications in bottom right of the screen :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luke1404:
Move it to the top of the screen then like me :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] timteka:
Luke, just on the contrary :-))) I don't understand how to use it in the bottom :-) On your screen you have it on top :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luke1404:
Sorry I must be misunderstanding something then. When I move mine to the bottom my lockscreen stays exactly the same just the status bar moves. What issue are you experiencing exactly?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] timteka:
Luke, incorrect density for the lockscreens and some other stuff :-( Changing framework dpi and other dpi's doesn't help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madekala:
This didn't help. And moving it to the top didn't help either. I flashed the rom again and wiped cache and dalvik and even that didn't help. There is little horizontal line next to the clock but no sms, mail, gentle alarm, etc icons.

Fonts?

Where can we find fonts for this Rom? Im used to Flip Font, whose Mega Pack I had in my Stock Deodexed LC1... over 60 fonts to choose. Well, only a dozen really good...

I'm new in this Custom Rom world, and a veteran glasses user... I find the original system font (maybe a Helvetic family?) is just efficient, but...boring.

The Settings menu, for example, is no so easy to read for a veteran like me.

I suppose that, in tablet mode, things can't be another way.

Maybe changing DPI for some apps?

This is the only serious handicap that I can find in an otherwise very very good job. I've not yet installed 150+ apps, like on stock Rom, so it´s a little soon to see the "real thing" working.

Testing a new Rom with only 30 apps says nothing about its behavior with 250 or more, and 7 homescreens plenty of icons... Stock Roms are fluid with only a few apps, IMHO.

I'm impressed by the boot- reboot speed! I like to change DPI and other analog settings, only to see the Note rebooting at light speed :laugh:!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] projeto56:
I find the jelly bean font really softer and easyer to read.

You can get it here.

just flash it on cwm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftnoon2:
Flashed!

That`s not so good to me, sorry.

In fact, all put on both hands, and before become bored of re-install and re-configure DPI for many apps, I'm decided to Go Back to GB...

Yessss. I'll maybe see later for other solutions more closer to stock, with a full functional Spen.

I consider this Rom a very good technical job, coming from very skilled people. But, from the strict User point of view, is a mic-mac of configuration job all time.

Another thing: do you, guys, were ready to buy a 5.3" screen "tablet" that costs about 400-500 euros? Hmmmm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Now this is a useful post, brimming with tact and good manners.

You come to the Paranoid thread, then take a dump on

a) the Rom for being too complicated

b) its users by doubting their intelligence and/or sanity.

Nice one. May the SPen always be with you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] projeto56:
Hey. No one obligated you to install this rom. If you don't know how to make good configurations, that don't need to be reworked every time you install an app, you should probably stick to a stock roms anyway.

This is by far the best rom for the galaxy note, which was designed to be a mix of phone and tablet. Wich is exactly the intention of this rom, bring the best of the two worlds to a single device.

If you don't like this ideal just move to a different rom and that's it.

I'm sorry to hear that you could not enjoy the potential of this awesome rom.

About my decision to buy this PHONE, I definitely was ready and don't regret at all. I can use it however I want, as a phone, as a tablet, as a paper weight... But if you dislike yours there's always places where you can get rid of it. Check www.ebay.com for example.

Good luck bro.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] XeOniFiCaTiOn:
Haha. ..nice reply chas. ..

I see the force is strong with this one :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftnoon2:
Chasmodo, you really don't understand me. Or...I don't understand you :eek:

1. I'm a curious person. I really wanted to prove a Rom that many people are saying wonders. Don't try now to get me far of this custom world, please.

2. I find this rom a very good piece of custom work. Though I've not proved it with 200 apps installed, where things can begin to be more complicated. Did I say that stock rom's with 50 apps roll like butter?

What I like in Paranoid: gorgeus reboot menus, possibilities of the notification bar, smooth and nice screen on/off animations, very functional lock-screen, general settings possibilities, though some ones are not very clear or need more explanation, IMHO.

Also, as I said, fast boot-reboot operation.

I don't like: the fonts are unbalanced: you set a good size for, say, "settings", and the rest is too large, as the boot menu. i.e.

The notif bar is really dark. You can have a good screen brightness, and the bar is dark, difficult to read under bright light condition (the sun of Spain...). This is balanced on stock roms, sorry, really sorry. Or no, I haven't tried ICS...:angel:

We have only 1 font option for system UI. The .zip I installed was good, but, with 500+ kb, I only find 1 font (?)

The "tablet" display can display things really tiny for my eyes, sorry. On the lock screen on "tablet" all is really tiny. OK, you go to paranoid settings and ta-ta-ta.

Another thing: I think is convenient to darken the lock-screen wallpaper, to make things more easy to read, and to see better the tiny lock buttons. OK, I can set a dark w-paper, but it's forced. On Stock rom, this lock-screen is darkened "naturally".

You can say this is minor things. For the all day use, it's not so minor. I'm with Android from 2 years ago, I know what I'm talking about.

And I insist: the Note is big, but is a big phone and a tiny expensive tablet, sorry.

Have you tested it with 200+ apps installed? Did anybody tested it in such condition?

XeOn... You

really

don't understand nothing. If you fill your posts count with responses like this, you will go far, far away. Go on...

OK. It's being too long. Sorry for this stack of words.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luke1404:
First off I didn't mean to thank your last post I hit the wrong button. Although everyone is entitled to their opinion nothing bad should be said against any of the devs who produce higher performing ROMs, more frequent updates and for free compared to official Samsung ICS.

Secondly I have 2 notes personal and business. Personal runs PA5 with 218 apps (in regards to your post above) and business stock ICS with about 50 apps. The performance of the personal note is significantly better than the stock. The only thing that is worse is the battery life which is expected as I use this one more but it will easily go the full day so I can charge over night.

Finally using an Android for 2 years means ****. My gran's has had the S2 for about 18 months or whenever it came our and she can't even text so......And I have been an Android user for all of 3 months so i guess that makes me know nothing eh where as on the other hand you sound like a bag of knowledge, just a shame the bag has a whole in the bottom.

Sir i believe you are the one who should be going a long long away. Rant over!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
1. You don't understand me obviously. First off, you got this Rom for free, therefore treat the dev's work with some respect. You don't like it, move on and keep shtum. That's the least you owe to someone who has put a lot of work for no money at all. First minus for you, no manners.

2. What would you say if you had sudden reboots, screen freezes, nandroid restore failures etc.? What you list here are not bugs, it's your personal preference against the one of the dev. Again the solution for your woes: move on and keep shtum.

3. Move to Greenland, problem solved.

4. And ta-ta-ta is too complicated for such an Android guru I suppose?

5. See 3.

6. And you have managed to accumulate an impressive 21 posts since September 2011? Don't be such a miser, share your massive knowledge with all of us.

7. In other words, everyone running a tablet mode is either intellectually challenged or has flipped their lid?

Conclusion: move to some other Rom. This thread will breathe a collective sigh of relief when you do.
