PA is not the ultimate rom, its close though.

For it to be the "Ultimate ROM" to me it needs these little nit-picks:

#1 - AOKP Settings (love the toggles, and the overwhelming control over your device).

#2 - Regular Status Bar/Notifications Tray in "Hybrid" mode.

#3 - Fix all the bugs (better support for camera, S Pen, OTG, HDMI etc etc).

Right now I'm resting on AOKP with an optimized Apex...I'm waiting impatiently for v3 etc

You can flash any GB ROM via Odin, root it, install CWM Recovery and flash PA :D

Thanks, So I have the stock GB ROM. Can i directly flash it using Mobile Odin lite? then CMW - then PA.

OR can i only flash the stock GB via PC Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Leechoonhwee:
Everything is good except the unlocking sound is not working...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
If you're on stock GB you just have to root and install CWM. No need for PC Odin unless you have a stock version that can not be rooted. :)

It can be used as a stylus and in Papyrus but that is it. (Yes the button does work in Papyrus even on CM9).

Finally a paranoid user :D now. I think I will need 3 days just to see all the items in the settings menu. Btw what is the default dpi of our stock note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Samsung default is 320dpi (pretty high, makes objects "pop").

Tablet mode = 213dpi or less

Paranoid = 213dpi (any less its useless) + custom dpi per app + choice of status bar per app

You have it on small mode (probably). Just change it to Normal. If that's not large enough, make it Large or even Huge.

Currently stock camera is not working well.

There's too many artefacts and bugs. This is a Rom issue, Samsung Official ICS works just as good as the Gingerbread versions. Just wait for it to be properly implemented, or live with it.

No.

I have been on ParanoidAndroid since the v0.2 came out. Everything has been great for me so far, except the SleepOfDeath problem which came all of a sudden. I was on stock CM9 kernel, but changed to Thorv0.9 after i read some posts being in favour of it. But still, SODs have been troubling me so much. Just noticed that Thor v0.12f has been out and is safe from SOD problems. I really want to update my kernel to v.012f but cant register on tegraowners forum.

So please, it'd be really nice if someone can direct me to a link to Thor v.012f. Help would be really appreciated.

ParanoidAndroid v0.2 Converted

Just converted to PA and I'm in love!

I'm coming from touchwiz only roms (favorite being Kingdroid 3.0 + S3 mod w/ SpeedMod k3-3) and never played with dpi or tablet mode.

With PA it makes the note have such a natural flowing interface as if it were meant to be like this. It's incredible! I've used a script for my voltages provided by luke in the development thread and I must say this is quite the experience and luckily not experiencing any fc's as reported with other users. (i do however read before leaping, which is probably why others experience randomness) I am not using the kernel that came with PA, rather using another that has had some really great reviews. Can't wait to play around with all these settings in tablet mode!!! :D

I just used tapatalk on PA in tablet UI and its orgasmic. I can't believe I've been deprived of such a layout. The only thing I need to get used to is the thumb keyboard. I was already accustomed to Samsung keyboard with the numbers already on top.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is setting the wallpaper. I use only one screen and try to set the wallpaper using wizardrii and it leaves margins on the wallpaper when I set it. I have my nova launcher set at zero margin but still no good. I even set wizardrii with a dpi of 213 and still no good. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
Í don´t know if its really a solution, but AFAIK you have to give the launcher the same DPI settings like the given overall user DPI setting. Just play around a bit.

Paranoid Android V 0.2 got closed because of people who were posting things that shouldn't go in that thread. That's why we should use this thread! :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
It got closed because it contains format script and bricked a phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
No it didn't! That was not why it got closed!

Got closed because of this:

Got my Note hard bricked with (ParanoidAndroid)

Read the three pages and you will find why it got closed!

My phone actually :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
I read you're a lucky guy!! hahaha But, let me get one thing straight. You flashed Paranoid Android from rooted ICS right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dissaor:
They should have said that when they closed it, otherwise more people will just share the rom and kernels :S
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Oh yeah i'm a really lucky guy! Hopefully i have my warranty and Samsung will have to give me a new motherboard again! :D

In the OP of the thread i opened i talk about that!

I flashed from CF Root 5.6!

CF Root is safe to use because the cwm from it doesn't trigger MMC_CAP_ERASE!

But a faulty update-binary and the format command on updater-script can trigger the bug.. and in paranoidandroid what did brick my phone was the format command!

And it could be replaced by: delete_recursive and the bug wouldn't be triggered!

What? The thread got closed? Nooooooo!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Isriam:

Imilka will no doubt sort it pretty quickly, fingers crossed. Its the ultimate rom in my opinion!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
That's exactly what happen. He flashed Paranoid Android with CF 5.6

I think it is still safe to flash PA coming from GB, just like the OP from ParanoidAndroid said!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Isriam:
The brick had nothing to do with pa. The author should rename it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
That's a good point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nnotis:
I'd just like to add another voice of praise for Imilka. His early port of CM9 was brilliant. As soon as the CM team gets the speaker phone issue sorted out on their kernel, I'll be jumping to Paranoid. Huge thanks to all developers on the CM and PA teams.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
Which speakerphone issue? Should have been solved by now...some time ago!

Paranoid Galaxy Note N7000 - AOKP B39
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
+1 above, speaker phone seems fine this end. Awesome rom!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Petrus44:
Fantastic stable ROM.

Flashed 0.2 yesterday morning (from AOKP), using the detailed instructions in the Dev section. If followed to the letter, the installation will work perfectly.

Initial observations....

Very stable, no SoD's or FC's. Battery life is good (better than standard ICS). Tablet mode is fantastic, it really takes advantage of the screen. Camera is great and images look comparable to stock. WiFi works as it should, as does the modem. SPen works great with Papyrus Beta. GPS lock on is fast. Access to storage works (you can switch default location easily), and seamlessly connects to my laptop for file transfer. Charging speed is good. Voice quality is good. All my apps restored from the Play Store.

In short, it's stable enough to be my daily driver. Well done Imilka!

Tip:

Read/Search the posts in the Dev section as 99% of questions are answered in there. If you can't find the answer, search again as it's likely to be there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
+1 Well said!! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Leechoonhwee:
I agree with using format instead of delete as format provides a cleaner installation imo. The emmc bug is triggered by bad sectors when doing a formatting hence problem does not lie with the script but the hardware. Someone wrote a testing script to test a bad sector in the app section so in the paranoid op, there should be instructions for people to test their emmc before flashing the ROM and not shutting the thread down.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
I only hope all of this makes v 0.3 come out faster haha :o

Personally, I hope they leave the Paranoid Development Thread closed. That will push all the chatter, eta and problems over here. When version 0.3 is ready, start a new thread and everything will be clean and fresh. No searching for an issue and have to wade through the v0.1 and v0.2 issues.

Just a suggestion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
That's exactly what this thread was made for. In the GENERAL section. I wrote a post when on the development thread telling everybody there chat didn't go there.

Anyway, a new and fresh v 0.3 thread would be awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Don't tell people to "format" instead of delete although its in the code so unless they know code pretty well they couldn't change it! It is dangerous. MOST of our firmware chips (0x19) is dangerous. And its not about a bad sector. The bad sectors are caused by wiping data while using a dangerous kernel. You aren't SUPPOSED to have a bad sector. They aren't just "on the chip". It's the actual firmware chip that's bad.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
some idiot flashed PA from an ICS kernel. even if it was deemed "safe" it's a guarantee to brick if you flash a CM9 based firmware over that ICS one.

oh well.... you cannot argue with the devs, can you?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luke1404:
that is very true. Until the code has changed to do a delete recursive command instead of the format command in the updater-script the thread will remain closed. Hopefully Imilka continues with this and doesn't just wipe his hands of it as this is a really good ROM bar the numpty who has just been and bricked his NOTE.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Matchstick:
Locking the main thread does seems a slightly odd reaction to this issue.

Now clearly a change should be made to PA to avoid the issue, even if the problem will seemingly only occur when the ROM is installed without following the instructions, but I can't help thinking that locking the main thread without an explaination isn't very helpful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skeetzor:
There has been numerous bricks from these leak build roms right?

One noob bricked his gnote with a CM9 based ROM (we had the pros Entropy and Xplod praise CM9 and its hand built kernel) and they lock imilkas thread.

Something else may be going on.

/concerned and suspicious PA user.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hgberry:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Praetorius actually yes in some point i'm a bit idiot...:o but it could have been avoided if the updater-script wasn't only copy-paste! and the code was reviewed before releasing the rom!

All CM9 were verified and they use the format command.. don't know if every single dev in here will update the updater-script to use delete_recursive instead of format... but yes.. flashing CM9 based roms from a safe kernel like CF root 5.6 or franco r6 will activate the bug and more bricks will appear... not only mine!

------------------------

Edit:From my thread:

Got my Note hard bricked with ...

So CM9 are safe to be flashed! The update-binary is from a safe source, but

refrain to testing please

!!!

The issue could alarm all noobs in here!

So that was avoided somehow :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I dont see what the big deal about the thread being closed..Theres no support in it except only by the users and its basically filled with chatter about a kernel that isnt even suppose to be talked about.

Updater-script and update-binary was 'copy-pasted' from CM9 (for Note, yes) update zip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
So that's why the format commands! :p

Imilka sorry all the hassle on your rom!

Please use: delete_recursive like i told you in my thread :D

Continue the good work mate!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] veasna.kelly:
Happy to see imilka is HERE. I have been using ur rom since v0.1 until 0.2 and everything are OK. From last 400 posts, no one has confirmed to brick their note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
But the risk was there! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] veasna.kelly:
Yes and from what I have read, coming from non Samsung kernel base code would be safe to flash like gb, cm9 base kernel are safe . Those users who have followed this instruction did not face any brick issue.

And yash, we've just dig out the new news on how to do with the update script code when flash over Samsung stock ics kernel base.

Correct me if my understanding is not right.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Yes flashing from GB, CM9 is safe!

But even flashing from CF Root 5.6 or franco r6 which have MMC_CAP_ERASE disable can be safe if instead of format commands we use delete_recursive :D

I know it's not Imilka's fault on this! Samsung should have corrected the brick bug in the first place! I blame them!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
I agree the risk on PA was there, I agree there should be a change on the code.

But WHY do you close a thread because of a brick that happened with a flash from ICS when the OP clearly said DO NOT FLASH FROM ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] imilka:
I don't really know what we're talking about.

Do you understand my package contains SAME update-binary and SAME update-script and SAME kernel that latest official CM9 nightly for Note does?

What risk? Or, if there's a risk, isn't CM9 unsafe too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ThaiDai:
The real problem seems to be the combination of the "format"-Statement in updater-script combined with a "faulty" updater-binary (which has the bug) - and not some other ICS kernel.

Maybe this is the reason for closing it temporarily until the updater-binary and -sript are fixed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] veasna.kelly:
+ Thank. Is that ok!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] veasna.kelly:
I actually want to put + Thank to your post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
I don't know why its said to be safe flashing from CF Root 5.6 or franco r6 is safe if that's how you bricked your device, its also been shown that nearly all if not all CM9 based roms did have the bad format commands. Most still probably do and although there is a warning on the CF root thread, most probably on franco too but I would say they are far from safe because of this. The warning on the CF root thread didn't save you so why would it save the next person?

The instructions on PA were correct and if followed people wouldn't have bricked and your the first that did, this is by not following the instructions in the OP which would have avoided the brick from my still relatively noobish understanding.

Most users wouldn't know which rom has the format command on older roms they have as most of the devs of those roms also didn't which is why that command was still there and not bricking roms if the original safe CM9 flashing practice was used.

Ive read your entire thread on your brick and this along with bits and pieces from others on this topic, but Im still confused a little lol. I take it its still safe flashing CM9 roms from CM9 kernels even with the format command, as the way I understand it is this only effects flashing from a Samsung based kernel like in your brick case.

If this is true then using the Samsung based "safe" Kernels brought this up by you which is a good thing, but whats to say there isn't something else in them that hasn't been discovered yet that may also trigger the brick. I think its best to not term them as "safe but" but unsafe don't you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hgberry:
E

+ 1, and it isn't confirmed yet that disabling MMC_ERASE_CAP will be 100% safe if I read correctly, it's just what the dev could do to minimize it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adv1sory:
The problem is someone pulled the trigger too fast. Not realizing, that the base of your rom (CM9) has the same update-binary. Don't take it personally. **** happens. I've flashed many roms and PA is INSANE. Just keep giving the people QUALITY roms.

BTW: "Flash any stock GB rom with odin / or any GB kernel [instructions] root device [instructions] and reboot into recovery once again before flashing this"

Instructions taken from OP of the Development thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kriggs:
Yes, the brick only occurs on Samsung, leaked OR official ICS's kernels, any other GB or ICS CM9 kernels are safe.

The guy that got brick trough paranoid flashed with CFROOT, wich uses the Samsung ICS kernel...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robb13:
Sorry Imilka, my writing was wrong. What I meant was that EVEN if PA has a risk, the thread should have NOT been closed.

Doesn't every custom rom have a risk? I have a TF101, I have flashed SII's, Razrs, Evos etc. I always read warnings and diaclaimers that say the dev is not responsable for any problems.

Imagine each thread on xda being closed because of people who brick there devices by not following instructions!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mehalaktas:
We want our thread back.

What kind of solution is that. One guy is bricking his phone and the whole thread was closed. I guess it is not fair. Moderators can contact with imilka meanwhile they can delete the link. they got respond from imilka.

As I sad it is not fair to close the whole thread.
