What is the problem to use custom rom and remove ****ty samsung touch****? Apex Launcher or Nova is much better than stock Android 4 launcher.

ICS for Note is 100% what I expect from this device. I'm fully satisfied with it now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
With due respects , Windows XP is way better than Vlited 'Buggy' and unstable Vista. If you have no Qualms , Superbricking on ICS , then you must be a Billionaire who can afford these Expensive phones and buy them like Vegetables :p And btw , Faster is not Better. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
You could argue, you pay samsung for the phone not the software, google charges nothing to use android.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
Then Why dont they quote different Prices for Software and Hardware , Just like Windows ? Because , there is only OEM concept in Mobile Phone Industry right now. :) And that is the position Samsung is abusing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
Touchwiz is just one bad aspect , there are many more , Superbrick being the Elephant in the room :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] niyazidk:
I am almost agree with you but i think ui is better.

I have told to my friend almost exactly what you wrote her. i have tried the most of ics and come always back to gb because of two big issues, battery drain and reflow/resize of text in browser. I am really happy with checkrom v6...

What is "Superbrick"? I can't find it at my ICS rom....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Grrrrr what is qualms ?

I'm not filthy rich. :cool:

Install franco R3+ or SpeedMod 3-3 or CF-Root 5.6 and you will be safe.

Use brains, don't flash/wipe/reset this/that left/right/middle :D

Faster is better if it maintains integrity and stability. And ICS is stable.

If I brick my note. I'll bluff em as usual and get my warranty. :mad:

And btw Vista was stable on my machine and E6750 was not a high-end precessor then. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ayongkot:
i have been flashing leak ics (full repack by chainfire), lpy (dbtel), lpf (taiwan) and now lpy (poland) all with cwm cf-root respectively. and i was doing a full wipre/factory reset each time i haved flashed those roms but there was no brick in my note. it is much better than gb, more fluid and no lags and my battery lasts longer than gb. i am sorry for all whiners here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
'Qualms' mean problematic objections. :)

All those kernels you mentioned just avoid raising the mmc_erase command in wipes.They are not fullproof.:)

Why should not I wipe or reset left,right and middle? I did it on GB without problems, why ICS fizzles out in that dept. ?

If ICS is faster and stable, why is Samsung not using it as its many USP'S? Bcos it isnt :rolleyes:

Vista's bugginess doesnt gets discredited with one exception :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I flashed more than 10 times LP1, LP5, LPY and LPF roms with wipes never got problems. Why? Because I follow instuctions carefully.

If you don't know what are you doing just don't flash and don't start this stupid whining threads about imaginations in your head...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
You don't read the forum at all.

I have performed data reset with DAFUQ, Franco R3+, SpeedMod 3-3 and now CF-Root 5.6

Right now I'm restoring nandroid backup with CF-Root 5.6 (Do you need a photograph to convince you ?)

USP - Unique Selling Proposition ?

What are you implying ? Sorry I do not know much abbreviations. :confused:

Alright Vista was slow and so is ICS, let the world revolve around you.

PS

Flash ICS with Franco/SpeedMod kernel.

You would stop posting further and save little time to play with it. YUMMY.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
Yes he did...

And also said that the'mmc_erase' issue will be solved once "SAMSUNG" fixes it.His version 5.6 is a temp. workaround.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
All your Flashing is frm safe sources of ICS like Dafuq..CM9...cwm 5.6 etc

NOT ANY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL ones.:rolleyes:

Custom ROM developers have warned not to flash from Samsung ICS sources:)

Many people have bricked through Stock recoveries and OTA's. Go and confirm with Entropy and Chasmodo :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lionelia:
,

I do not agree, I use ICS with Galaxy S2 and it is much better than GB.

And why speeking about Vista... It's already dead:)

Android cannot be compared with Windows, just because Android is Open Sources and can be improved by some devs here. What about Windows ?:D

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

But i agree, Samsung raped ICS and crippled it with touchwizz. I at least found it very laggy (XXLPY). I`am running CM9 and its much more fluent and faster.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gitin:
my suggestions

i made few points

frankly speaking even i dont c a need to update to ICS as m using DARKY ROM with Abass kernel and its running buttery smooth smoother than any ICS rom i have tried.....

if you are a newbie try to avoid upgrading to ICS until there is a safe kerenl from Samsung....yeah franco DAFAQ and new CF is also safe but 2 some extent

plus i have noticed (may b m wrong) on ICS it takes more time to charge battery as compare to GB

plus on ICS ram is always around 600mb used/compare to GB rom m using which is usually less than 400mb used most of the time

and many newbies dont go through warnings and long posts before flashing roms on their new notes and end up bricking their devices

if you play asphalt hd 1.0.3 free from samsung apps its made for note with superb graphics then you will miss this on ICS as it crashes after some time

though u can download latest 1.3.3 version and it runs on ICS but graphics are not good as on 1.0.3.......the main reason y i m bck on gb

real racing 2 doesnt work on ICS so m bck and enjoying it

after taking screenshot on ICS (I take lods of screenshots) writing using s-pen is laggy, i knw if u disable gpu acceleration it get smooth but i dont want to go to system settings to turn then on off again and again

on GB its smooth

plus there is a risk you might brick ur device even while deleting or moving large files ....not sure if its true but i ve read this on so many threads

developers took so long to come to this stage where they finished with a fast rocking stable GB rom after months of efforts

whereas ICS has just started, it will get there but will take time

and S-Pen lag while gpu-acceleration on will be fixed by Samsung and that applies 2 games and softwares too

but till then there is no need to jump to ICS and take risk

hope this helps some newbies

try DARKO NOTE (ALLIANCE ROM NOW) 3.4.1 with Abass kernel 4.2 and you can use setcpu and overclock to 1.7ghz plus has BLN support !

plus you have got plenty of theme downloads in built in software with this rom.

Happy Flashing and dont forget to use ODIN and install safe kernel (DAFAQ) first and then go to CWM recovery and install Abass kernel and reboot back in recovery and then install any gb rom or restore your backup

take all precautions PLZ !!!

Dude you are comparing samsungs implementation of ics with samsungs implementation of GB

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gitin:
Dear i or We are not comparing anything with anything

m just telling you my opinion with the present availability of ROMS

even i myself try every new ICS rom which comes out

but just after few hours i roll back to GB BACKUP seeing most of my apps dont work or crash

i read instructions very carefully thats the reason y i try different roms and safely roll back to GB

but we all know many new comers dont go through long posts and are so keen to enjoy fast stable ICS rom and then scratch their heads thinking wot went wrong with the installation :)

Regards & PEACE !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
lol, did you try to do full wipe after flashing ICS?

You are talking bull****, I don't remeber any leak or stock ICS with app crashing after full wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gitin:
plz be polite m not harming anybody :)

dont be rude

m not talking about all apps everything works great but m just talking about things i use the most ASPHALT 6hd plus real racing 2 plus widget locker when i try to change theme

plus i work online and take lots of screenshots so i hate going to settings and turning off gpu acceleration as after taking screenshots i use pen on them

plz dont be harsh be polite this is just how i feel with my phone and needs

there is nothing wrong with my opinion

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bioweb:
As far as I'm concerned the Great Developers are the guys from CM9 and devs that make roms based on CM9. I'm currently running the official AOKP build 37 and couldn't be more happy with my phone at the moment.

And on the one hand you say we're on XDA for a reason, namely tweaking our phone and flashing roms but on the other hand you compare flashing an AOSP/AOKP based rom to a free meal?

I do agree it sucks that official Samsung builds have this nasty bug but ranting on things like TouchWiz is just silly. Install any of the dozens of alternative launchers and TouchWiz is not an issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukeinchina:
I'm not a big fan of the look of TouchWiz, but I do like its functionality. I've had no problem with the speed of ICS - seems like it's a little faster than GB, and I especially like the easy access to the settings screen from the notification pull down menu, as well as the new fonts and Face Unlock. And as far as the look goes - I've just replaced the Touchwiz launcher with GO Launcher with an ICS theme, so I don't have to put up with the ugly icons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
one more thing is the poor support from app devs on google play.. for example, taptap revenge 4 don't support ICS.. i even mailed them the errors i experienced and they dont seem to care for now..

i agree that charging is longer on ICS than GB...

s-pen calibration is not good on ICS as well..

but i gotta agree that ICS is SO SMOOTH compared to GB...

but as i have said a while ago, as long as GB serves all my educational, communication and gaming needs, imma stay on GB until samsung admits the problem and if possible, make a public apology..LOL

i can't afford having a bricked phone and not being able to text my special someone..:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] heatfire:
yea ICS is pretty much vista for the phone! more speed (in SP1)

ics will get there in time.. but right now i agree.. its pretty much useless to go from GB to ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kanalcommander:
For me it's more like Windows 7 coming from Vista. It's faster, but runs smoother and pretty stable.

Of course late GB was fine too but LPY is even a bit better.

Let me save you some time.

The firmware for the Emmc controller is flashed inside the Emmc chip only once during manufacturing.

It is not loaded every time you reboot, so you can search in the kernel or the firmware directories until you are 100

years old, or grow a beard and join ZZ-top.

Oh yes i forgot to add 'LOL:D' and make my post seem less agressive just like your's.

I wonder why it makes you laugh that Chas bricked his Note....

Are you one of those ppl that laugh when someone falls of a ladder and breaks a leg..?

Let me add one last remark, the fact that you used linux on just three floppies doesn't make

you any smarter then someone who didn't ;)

And then here is a scoop for you : actually it doesn't " all work just in the same way" :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Too much hassle about s-memo, premium suite and angry birds package - too little effort with the OS core. After all, Samsung has delayed the release of ICS. There must have been a reason for that - and since users were enraged about it, they might have forced it a little bit too early i guess.

Not to defend Samsung of course, they have a bunch of professionals to work on it - and they failed. Just saying that now we know why they delayed it.

1 - Not a total dud. ICS works reasonably

2 - Evolution, not revolution.

3- Welcome to the world of software :-) I have been writing code for 31 years and we have always had bugs.

4- Like most software! eMMC issue was badly managed though.

5- ICS has a better UI, TW is sh!t and should be strangled.

6- I love settings, the more, the merrier.

7- So which company has no ego? Invensys? Tata? Apple? Companies are mostly psychopathic monsters.

All smartphones could be "better". You are in a high flux, fast, complex environment. If you want simple reliability, get an old Nokia.

3. Agree. But Software has Bugs. Nor the vice versa. :D

4. Agree.

5. Agree

6. Yes again but remember ' Too many cooks spoil the broth '

7. Not atall. There are companies like Infosys, Patni, Suzuki and many more which are totally ' on the ground'. And btw, Tatas is the best corporate in all respects.:)

I went back to Gingerbread with franco10, after being on ICS for a couple of months now.

Hopefully, in say 3 or 4 months, ICS on the note will be 'the wizard'. Right now, it isn't.... lets be honest, it is pants right now.

Things I miss, after 12hrs back on GB:

a) ICSbrowser+. Loved the quick gestures.

b) I can no longer use photoshop touch.

c) putting shortcuts into folders on the homescreen, with apex launcher

Things I don't miss:

a) programs crashing

b) programs stuttering for a half second

c) pressing the home button and having a black screen for 20 seconds, on apex launcher

d) always at the back of my mind, thinking that I surely need to try more roms for increased performance... and in the meantime, risk bricking the note.

e) messages and notifications from apps being visible through the lockscreen

f) poor battery life

GB is better right now because it works properly, it works all of the time and it is fast. I'm sure that in a few months time, ICS will be the best choice.

To those who are lamenting ICS is like windows vista, the manufacturers screwed up ICS... its like having Windows 7, but with all the manufacturers bloatware (like 5 apps jus to control wifi, 2 to control updating, 7 anti viruses, 10 to tell u when to make ur coffee)...

Try CM9, its how ICS is SUPPOSED to be experienced... without any of the carrier/manufacturers bloat (ok, ok... CM9 has one or 2 bloats, but u can remove them right out via root)... plus battery and performance is great... 24 hours minimum on moderate usage... i've been using it on my note and S2 concurrently...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clandestino123:
? My understanding is that CM9 battery life is not great. Also, users experience FCs and phone reboots from time to time. Isn't this the case ? I base this on my observations reading through the CM9 thread.

Compare that to, e.g. some older gingerbread threads. Very few (if any) people reporting battery issues or reboots.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesRC:
I picked up a TF300 a few days ago after trying a Moto Xoom and finding it a bit heavy and slow.

I also have a HTC Sensation running CM9.

When I entered my google details, all my apps started to download. However, if I tried to use the tablet at the same time, it was ridiculously slow. I thought fair enough, it's busy downloading lots of apps. I let the downloads to finish and then went about my usual websites: XDA, news etc using a mix of Chrome and the browser.

Laggy as anything. Simply scrolling up and down, generally fine but then suddenly 2-3s of lag. Restarted: no change.

I see lots of other reporting the same here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1643875

In other apps, the tablet lags - even when scrolling in the app drawer. Touch recognition is only circa 95%, quite irritating.

I LOVE the features of the dock, but the weight distribution is ridiculous. You can just about type when the system is on a table, good luck on a lap without sending the tablet arse over head. I was planning to pick up an infinity TF700 with a HD screen as the ppi of this model is quite low... now I'm quite unsure.

Overall, it really doesn't feel like this is much faster than the Xoom. I did try CM9 on the Xoom and it helped with the speed - is it just the software needs optimising? I'd have thought that the s/w development for the prime would have seen to that?

Maybe I need to wait until Tegra 4 before I can see the performance I'm hoping for.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullzorz:
You would probably benefit from a factory reset. Then, after entering your google account information again, don't use the tablet while the apps are re-downloading, probably wait at least an hour while this happens. Others have said this cleared up all of their speed issues. Mine is running very fast and smooth, much faster than the other two tegra2 devices I have.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
what a shame, did my 3rd (or 2nd) factory reset today but used the tablet whilst everything installed

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesRC:
Thanks guys. I'm back to using the stock browser which is slightly better than chrome. Ran antutu and got 9500, seems a bit low compared to the prime (12000)?

Running in balanced mode not power saver.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
It has been reported that chrome can cause problems even if installed and not used ...try opera mobile ...runs wonderful
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital Man:
The TF300 runs a slightly different version of the tegra 3 than the one in the prime. The Tegra 3 in the TF300 is clocked slightly lower so you would expect performance to be slightly worse on benchmarks.

But its not something that should effect real world performance.
