[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Few more FAQs

I thought to post them here rather than creating new thread, please check if you can add direct link to this post in OP

as I am going to add more to the list.

Again, no question is stupid, I have seen people asking these questions, so compiled them here.

[FONT=&quot]1. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I have flashed custom kernel, do I have CWMR now?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Yes, flashing custom kernel automatically installs CWMR. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]

2. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I am on xyz custom kernel, can I flash this or that rom? Or should I downgrade to GB?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]As long as you are on safe kernel, you can flash any rom you want. Check [/FONT]THIS

[FONT=&quot]

3. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]What is the best custom rom for galaxy Note?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Well, all custom roms are almost equally good, it depends on your taste or requirement, read rom OP and comments in rom thread before choosing any rom to flash.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]

4. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Flashed CM rom, can I use stock Samsung apps like S Pen, camera or keyboard?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]CM uses a different framework than Samsung, so stock apps will not work unless modified by someone.

We have few apps modified to work like TW launcher, Samsung Apps etc. Search for them in themes/apps section.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]

5. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Deleted xyz app from system on custom rom, how can I get it without flashing rom again?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Extract the deleted app .apk from rom .zip and copy it in system/app with proper permissions[/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT] (this is not applicable to all apps though)

[FONT=&quot]

6. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I am on stock Rom, can I replace any stock system app with app extracted from custom rom?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Yes but not all, but you have to delete .odex file for that particular stock app from system/app, and then copy extracted .apk with correct permissions.[/FONT] For few apps you will get FC and have to reflash the rom eg phone.apk, so it's better to check first which apps you can replace.

[FONT=&quot]

7. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I copied .apk to system/app but it is not working or how do I change permissions, I don’t understand those codes in threads ?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Whenever a new .apk is copied to system, it’s permissions needs to be changed. You can either check permissions of any existing .apk and change same for the new app or check post#5 [/FONT]here

[FONT=&quot]

8. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If I flash a new rom, will that going to change my Kernel as well?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Yes, new roms has their own kernel and your old kernel will be replaced with new one included in the rom.

(For custom roms with Aroma, you can choose kernel from a list).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]

9. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Changed dpi using some app on TW rom but now I am in boot loop.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]For Note most of the dpi changing apps don’t work as we need to change dpi in two places, best is use root explorer and change dpi in build.prop at both places.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]

10. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Flashed new rom but something is wrong with battery, what should I do?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]It is better to calibrate battery whenever a new rom is flashed. Best is to let the battery completely die

and then full charge the phone in switched off mode, repeat this for 2-3 cycles.
