Uploading and downloading is quite a lot happening now, just try again until you get an answer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
I totally agree. :) Also, I recommend backing up your SD, then wipe and only copy essential items, otherwise start fresh on ICS. That part GREATLY helps boost SD speed. I read that for a long time and never listened. Then I tried it once and will always remember - your SD reads you music and gallery MUCH faster. You only need it maybe every few months, it depends on how much rom changes you do. (a lot, knowing us around here :rolleyes:)

We both have the same firmware :p (if you flashed the one from the @someguyfromhell thread ) i hope the sk17"a" ICS firmware comes quickly right after the sk17i, 5 june is my birthday, it will be a nice present :p

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
Good day all.

Before I ask my questions I would like to say that In the few days I have been here I have been working on Understanding the Technical terms and Jargon this site uses ever so much, I have learned.

While the wiki (and these posts here) has helped a bit...I still find myself feeling a bit nauseous from what I have been currently been unable to understand so you might have to stand me being a noob for just a little bit longer I'm afraid.

Anywho...on to the questions...

I am aware the ROMs must match a given make and model of a phone to work and custom kernels must be matched to specific ROMs, but alot of these ROMs have really awesome features & improvements. Better Sound, DSP-equalizer, More efficient battery use, more function UIs, more control on security, SONY based Engines, CRT-Off Animations, ...why can't they all just work together?!?! So now I have to ask the crazy...

Is it possible to stack the features of different ROMs?

What is it I need to be looking for compatibility wise between all these ROMs/Themes/Apps/Kernels to make sure that I don't Clay or Brick the Note by combining the wrong codes?

I'm trying to figure out what I can do to mix and match intelligently to get the most out of a rooted note (as is... I suppose... all of you here).

On that...uh...note, I have seen a lot of talk about Titanium-backup App, Clockworkmod Recovery App & Nandroids.

Why do I need to use these to back up?

Why can't I just go into the phone & copy and paste all the files on a folder in the computer? Is it because Android is Linux based? Do not all the files show?

Should I have all these Backup Apps to back up every part of the Note or is just one enough?

Oh and one more thing... I Received my note today :D & a lot faster than I expected. So...

What would you recommend to be the smartest thing to do first after root?

Decisions Decisions. :)

Thank You
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matius44:
The most basic differentiating factor is to see if the ROMs are TouchWiz based or AOSP/CM/AOKP based, those are the main 2 categories that every ROM here falls under

Features from one category *mostly* can not be ported to other category if they are not present there. For example, S-Memo are exclusive to TouchWiz ROMs just like Tablet mode is exclusive to AOSP/CM/AOKP ROMs, but there might some rare exceptions

IMHO Titanium Backup is useful only if you have games data, normal apps I prefer to set them up manually to have the cleanest setup possible. Nandroids, OTOH, are essential, they are your safety net if anything goes wrong.

You can't back up an OS just by copying the files over cause you don't have access to the kernel and lower system files, that's where nandroids help

Hope this helps :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
Oh! Right... I'm not just backing up apps... I'm backing Up the OS. Duh. Ok.

I was thinking about it the wrong way. :o

I know what a TouchWiz ROM is, and its good to know that Tablet mode is exclusive to AOSP/CM/AOKP ROMs, I didn't know that either. As I mentioned in my post... I'm still working on the Jargon here. What does "AOSP/CM/AOKP" Mean? Can I switch around features if I kept in those respective types of ROMs?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
AOSP is "Android Open Source Project". That is just one kind of custom ROM. Also, several ROMs on here are built on "AOSP", meaning they use AOSP as a base and add "features" to it.

CM is "CyanogenMod". They are a very popular team that builds custom ROMs for different phones out there. Same thing applies, people will builld custom ROMs based on CM9 (which is Ice Cream Sandwich based) and add their own "features" to it. CM7 is Gingerbread based and not on the Note.

Also, read about the bricking situations, just to wrap your head around it and stay safe. Basically, just know right now that the only "safe" kernel is the CM9 kernel built by xplodwild OR the DAFUQ kernel built by Entropy.

The ICS sources have come out so we should see more kernels come out as the devs get their hands dirty.

I use Titantium Backup, personally, to back up my individual apps and such when I switch ROMs. Now, of course, if you restore apps, you might run into problems and you might need to wipe data again and start over and not restore apps. But, I RARELY have problems.

I hope all these details help!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matius44:
AOSP = Android Open Source Project = Google's pure android

CM = CyanogenMod

AOKP = Android Open Kang Project

Features theoretically can be ported between these, but it requires hackery skills since mostly it's framework dependant

For example, AOKP is famous with its ROM Control option in Settings menu, this is not present in AOSP at all and some of it is present in CM9. If you have good knowledge in code you can port, not very easy task
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
There are things that need to be done before the root. You need some basic tools to get into the business of flashing stuff.

1. PC Odin - that's a software for flashing firmware from your Windows. You can get it here. Top left hand corner of the first post.

2. Windows drivers - they are needed so your PC can recognize the phone once connect the two. Get it from the same URL, same place.

3. Mobile Odin Pro - basically does the same functions as PC Odin, but from your Note, not from the PC. Get the Lite version

if the Playstore doesn't let you buy the Pro one.

4. Titanium Backup - this is optional. I use it all the time with no trouble, but some prefer to re-install their apps manually after they switch to another Rom. Titanium allows you to backup all your apps and their data, and does a quick batch restore when you need it.

Now about the rooting matter.

I would recommend the following method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3

I think it is by far the easiest and quickest one.

After you are successfully rooted, come back here, report, and we'll take it from there, OK?

We won't be going anywhere.:)

P.S. If you get into bootloop after the PC Odin has finished the flash, don't panic, but read this:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
I did all that Pre-Root stuff two days ago. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) YEAAAA!

As for how the root went...so far so good. As such I've just been upgraded from noob to kiddie hacker. Yay me...I guess.

I also did go for Titanium-backup App & Clockwork mod Recovery App (Free). Could not find Nandroid.

I am currently on 2.3.6 GB.

With that said. Now comes the fun part(...right?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
If you have done just what cursed4eva did in his video, you are rooted, but still haven't got a proper CLockWorkMod Recovery for further flashing.

If that is the case, you need to go to Chainfire's kernel thread and download the matching CF-Root kernel. For instance, download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip if you have flashed N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1 Open Europe.

You need to extract the kernel zip to get the tar file inside. Put that tar file on your SD card, start Mobile Odin, tap on 'kernel' option, navigate to the kernel tar and flash. The phone will reboot, MO will flash the kernel, and you'll have the fully functional CWMR you need for doing nandroid backups/restores and flashing custom Roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
Sorry for the Delay. Micro-SD Card took longer to receive than expected.

I have gone in and put that matching LA# .tar file on Moble ODIN. At the risk of asking a question whose only answer can be "DUH!"...

To flash the Kernel (or any of the respective things Mobile ODIN can do) do I press "Flash Firmware"?

My Concern of Bricking > Risk of asking Stupid Obvious Question

Edit: Every single place I searched presses said button...so I guess that's a yes. >_<

Edit 2: Success!:)

So how are the names given? Is all I need to look for is just match random bits of the titles code to see if the two are compatible?

And with this done...I can now start with some of the fun stuff... right?
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] Mioze7Ae:
So, my current XT720 started having episodes of that dreaded "ghost touches" insanity two weeks ago with escalating frequency. Last week it started to happen roughly every two hours. I found that wiping the screen off on my shirt would help for a few minutes, but I just assumed placebo effect (somewhere I had read that the ghost touch problem results from ground wires coming loose--so I was contemplating disassembling and reassembling--except I can never get that stupid "8.0 xenon" sticker to come off cleanly in the past so I was holding off). On a whim I googled a bit and found on a droid forum that someone was claiming that cleaning the screen with an electronic wipe solution solved the problem but that success can depend on which cleaning solution was used. I was skeptical, but I had a pack of Windex electronics wipes so I figured "try it"... the ghost touches disappeared immediately and have not returned (it's been 5 days). So, clearly some sort of residue on the screen was responsible.

So that got me thinking. I'm currently using an XT720 I got used that came without a screen protector (My wife is using my original one that has a zagg invisible shield since day one and has never had a ghost touch problem). When I got my current one, I debated whether or not to install a screen protector and decided to give it a shot without (which is really nice by the way--the screen does not scratch even when you forget and drop your keys in the same pocket--but it does develop get a weird patina which is what the cleaning seems to have removed--the zagg has a nice feel to it, but it's got a strange uneven surface that takes some getting used to, so the shield-free experience was a nice change for the fingers--my only objections were that sometimes it seemed way to sensitive to touch and that the bevel edges around the screen feel too recessed so the design seems to anticipate that a screen protector is installed).

So, my question is: I can hand-wave an explanation that a conductive/capacitive membrane develops on the surface of the screen and interferes with normal operation of the digitizer. And that perhaps a screen protector counteracts this either by keeping whatever this conductive/capacitive residue is slightly further from the digitizer or possibly by preventing generation of this residue due to different surface properties. Have people had the ghost touch problem with screen protectors?
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] B_e_n:
I can t really help you i never try any screen protection

But i had ghost touches but not at all like yours it happened 5times max(in 2years of heavy use) i think and always when it was raining when my screen get a little wet... and it stop maybe 5min after drying the screen

Never got it with out rain...
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] DarkMD:
Same for me... the phone start to open apps alone jaja xD
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] banshee56:
I've had the ghost touch problem twice now, both with screen protectors. The first time was with the screen protector that came with my Otterbox and the second was with the protective film that comes with the phone new (it worked fine to my surprise). Each time, it happened about 6 months after receiving the phone. However, I've not tried the electronic wipe solution nor any physical disassemble/reassemble operations.

BTW...my previous thread about this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102074
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] Mioze7Ae:
Hm, seems like what's actually happened is that the left-most strip of the screen doesn't respond to touch at all anymore. I just found it's difficult to type "q" and "1" ;) So, probably the ghost touching was while that element was dying. It's still mostly usable (I can get the q and 1 by slowly moving my finger from the edge). If it gets worse I'll have to think about repair, I guess. I see the glass is available from ebay and I've also amassed a few for-parts XT720s so I've been looking into what's involved in replacing the digitizer but I can't figure out how to remove the front glass from the chrome frame...
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] bagongs:
Hello guys,

I had these "ghost touches" until two weeks ago. Then, I installed a screen protector and had no problems at all later. I am not an expert of touch technology, but I assumed that putting something between the dirty and the screen would help, and I can say I was right so far :D

Ah, just one note: just before applying the screen protector, be sure to clean perfectly the screen, otherwise it will not counteract the problem (use for example an electrostatic "cleaner" and a properly clean cloth).

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I'm a X10 user, but my brother has SGSII so I'm not familiar with the kernel & ROM stuff. His problem is, that whenever he tries to flash any of MIUI ROM's (Android 4.0) he gets after about 10min of using it an "com.android.process has stopped working" error.

He wiped everything: cache, data, dalvik and still nothing.

After that he has to reflash to the current official ICS ROM, which is working fine.

Hey guys,

I've got a water damaged S2.

did all of the usual, washed it in isopropanol etc

The phone accepts charge and displays the yellow triangle and the high temperature prompt but it wont turn on. The places that get scorchingly hot are circled below:

I've tried replacing the USB flex cable to no avail.

there was some slight charring on all 3 of the chips, and I've tried cleaning them all. The one on the far right is the USB flex cable connection. after that is the connection to something on the screen. and the far left is a mainboard heatsink with a chip on the underside that had some corrosion which I cleaned up.

My question is, is it worthwhile reflowing the joints where they have become a little black. I've got some liquid solder, flux and a heat gun and wanted some advice. I may aswell try it seeing as the motherboards going in the bin anyway but wanted some ideas on how to go about doing it.
