Alternative app to replace default Contacts app on CyanogenMod 9

I attempted to restore System service with useful data for

Contacts Storage

from Titanium Backup on the recently flashed CyanogenMod 9 firmware, which went through flawlessly and there was not a single force close issue pertaining to the Contacts app.

:good:

However, the restore did not reinstate the contacts entries linked/set to phone storage on the previous ROM (CriskeloROM Note ICS v11), and I suspect this could be related to the fact that CyanogenMod 9 has no provision to add/save contacts to the phone/device storage.

Is there an appropriate app to which I can restore the System service with useful data for the contacts storage from Titanium Backup; which will very likely reinstate all contact entries from a previous ROM, and allow contact entries to be added/saved to the phone storage? I can consequentially use the required app to substitute and/or replace the default CyanogenMod 9 Contacts app.

Strange soft bricked N7000

Good evening.

After browsing forums, searching everywhere , still couldnt find a proper solution for my phone.

I got a Note 1 , N7000 softbricked ( i think ).

I cant boot up my phone, after i press the power button screen stays stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 screen ( splash screen) , doesnt get even to the samsung surrounded with blue circle, just stays like that. If i get out the battery , put it back again , and connet a charger, if shows me the charging battery icon. I cannot enter recovery at all ( with some firmware when i try to get to recovery phone reboots, then again stuck at n7000 splash screen ), but i can enter download mode for ODIN. ( in download mode , screen is like - ODIN MODE / PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000/ CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO/ CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL). I can connect phone to ODIN , i flashed few stock firmwares, and nothing changed. I tried to flash 16GB PIT file, still same. Its like after i flash with any firmware, phone doesnt see anything different, still stuck on the N7000 screen. ODIN doesnt give me any error when i flash the phone, says everything its ok. Reinstalled USB drivers , changed USB port , change cable, still same stuck at that screen. What can i do more ? I never met this problem before and i dont really know what is the possible problem.

PS: dont know what kernel / android version had before device got bricked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Might try flashing philz, do a full wipe in recovery, adb side load a custom rom zip and gapps, and cross fingers. If that works you can then use mobile Odin pro to flash stock.

I have a feeling your phone is hardbricked though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Condox18:
Flashed few of philz recoveries and nothing.. tommorrow ill download all versions and try all of them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Don't "download all versions". You may have hard bricked your phone with the mentality to just flash whatever. You should never have flashed that PIT file...

Can you get into stock recovery?

What happens when you flash philz? You tries booting into recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Condox18:
stock firmware flashed - no recovery ( so stock recovery not working )

flashed philz reco - still same, cant acces recovery.

One last thing, after i turn on phone ( when he is trying to boot ) if hes connected to PC , i get a pop-up that windows doesnt recognize the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
what does the Odin error messages look like when flashing

Can you provide detailed info and a screenshot?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Condox18:
Odin doesnt give me any error message , after flashing shows the green button with PASS, connects every time properly, no issue with ODIN. I am saying ( if this may help somehow ) if i connect usb between phone and laptop and turn the phone on with power button ( as always stuck on splash screen / SAMSUNG N7000 logo ) after few seconds my laptop detects a new device and i get a popup message that USB device is not working correcltly, like somehow phone tries to mount his storage under windows but fails.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Im trying to summarize again my problem since i think you didnt understand well and im not native english speaking.

Phone is stuck when powering on, on splash screen ( not rebooting self, Samsung galaxy GT N7000 black screen , NOT the samsung in blue circle logo )

I can charge it , if hes powered off, displays the battery icon.

I cannot acces recovery at all.

I can acces DOWNLOAD MODE , i can connect with ODIN, i can flash with ODIN with no error but nothing changed after.

If i connect phone to computer and i power it on ( phone stays stuck on splash ) after few seconds windows sais a USB device is malfunctioning and its not recognized.

I flashed just stock firmwares, nothing , i flashed PIT file with stock firmware , nothing, i flashed under pda tab philz recovery, still same. I found a 4.1.2 firmware with CSC, MODEM and CODE files , flashed all with odin and still nothing changed. I say again i never get any error with odin while flashing , tried with other USB cables, tried with old odin 1.85 and 3.07 versions, used different USB ports, reinstalled samsung drivers.

Under battery there is a sticker - GT-N7000, made in Vietnam by Samsung, SSN:-N7000GSMH , S/N:RF1C970FBGA.

I honestly got no idea how i can revive the phone. I can provide you screenshots / teamviewer or whatever you want if you think you could help me.

1st page, 2nd post - you will find link to download stock GB firmware :)

Yes you will lose root, you can easily re-root using many methods available in the forums

Not before, After flashing GB, then do a full wipe in recovery (or under settings)

Yes the kernel is included, there are others too if you want to try something different, make sure its made for CM9 and not Samsung :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mridang:
I found two sets of ROMs and five in total for India.

Which one should I use?

Older Gingerbread ROMs (Directly Rootable):

N7000XXKK3 ------ 2.3.5 2011 November------ N7000ODDKK1 ------------------------India -------------------------Download

N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India -----------------------------Download

Newer Gingerbread ROM (non rootable directly)

N7000DDLA5--------------------2012 February--------N7000ODDLA1-----------------India------------------------------ Download(Non wipe)

N7000DDLB2---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000ODDLA1---------------India---------------------------------Download (Non wipe)

N7000DDLC1---------2.3.6---------2012 March---------N7000ODDLC1-----------India--------------------------------------Download

So CM9 has it's own Kernel. I've also seen an AbbyKernel and a FrancoKernel which are quite widely mentioned.

Does switching the kernel make any sense or should I go with the inbuilt CM9 one?

Thanks again. You're really helpful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Id go for

N7000DDLC1---------2.3.6---------2012 March---------N7000ODDLC1-----------India--------------------------------------Download

Because its newer :p

And changing kernels makes lots of sense, Some are highly tweaked for performance, Some for battery, some for stability ect ect you should definitely look into them if the default one doesnt suffice
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mridang:
Okay, I'll try that one. I'm a little confused by the term "Non-Rootable Directly".

Do you know what it means? Can I root it just the same way I would root any firmware? Is it possible to move my Photos, Messages, etc from my current firmware to my new CM9 firmware?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
It means you cannot just flash cwm.zip and superuser package (or so i believe) however it is rootable by flashing a rooted kernel such as speedmod.

And yes, you can transfer all your files over, For messages and apps and app data you can use titanium backup (or similar root backup app) and then restore once you are on CM9.

You can also extract items from a nandroid with titanium backup too.

All your pictures / music / videos (or anything saved to the SD card(s)) will remain intact unless you format them.

My noob question today is :I am looking for a thread where all the ROMs are listed and classified as 1. TW based 2. AOSP 3. AOKP 4. CM based 5.Hybrid ROMs. and all other types that I might not know. Chasmodo has done an excellent work with kernels. Thank you. Have a wonderful day/night :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Ok M Explaining you

This Terminology Is For Gb Rom only.

Gb Rom Released Before Nov11 (Before kl3) Can Be Rooted By Zergrush Exploit (Connecting To Pc N Using script, Without odin) Without Raising counter. These Roms Are Called Directly rootable.

Now Newer Release Of Gb can't B rooted same way, because Samsung have applied patch.

So these newer room termed as directly non rootable. On Gb Rom It Is Difficult To Reset counter, So Flashing Custom Kernel Was Not Popular Method To Root It. So For These You will Hav two optiin

1update such rom over directly rootable rom using mobile odin pro

2flash pre rooted rom.

Hope now it shud b clear

Cwm.zip for ics only.

Messed betwin gb and ics due to over work:p

Now take some break :)

Hello Friends, before flashing CheckROM Revo NoteHD v5 on my device, I had performed necessary backups using Titanium Backup Pro, HC-kTool and a Nandroid backup as well. I also performed a Export to SD card backup under Import/Export for Contacts.

However, upon exporting the .vcf file I noticed that My profile in Contacts did not get restored. Am I correct to presume that the [CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage option available in Titanium Backup Pro, will restore My profile in Contacts?

:confused:

Apologies for the possible confusion I may have caused.

:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
If you are worrying about kust one first contact my profile, then export/import won't do it as it is not stored as contact. It is under information.

I dont recommend to.restore tb data for just single contact.

After reading your mail above, I decided to go for it. But unfortunately, I just unsucessfull in my first attempt. As I mentioned earlier, I rooted my phone with easy method (using SU-Busybox Installer.zip and CWM.zip). I downloaded SpeedMod kernel -ics K-3-11 and CriskeloRom and copy to ext-sd card. I booted my phone in recovery mode (I was thinking to make a nandroid backup but could not find any option in recovery) and flash the kernel. Flashing process run and I rebooted the phone but when checked in About phone, there was no change in kernel file. It was same stock kernel. I did not do anything further. Would you please see what I am doing wrong. Thanks

Seem kernel may not flashed properly.

You can use Mobile odin to flash kernel.(you need kernel in .tar)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mridang:
Hi everyone. Sorry for sounding stupid and asking so many questions but I don't to mess up anything and end up with a 500€ brick. I'll explain how I'm going to do this. Please correct me and fill in the missing steps.

I will download the N7000XXKK3 (2.3.5 2011 November) ROM even though there are newwer GingerBread ROMs for my phone, it said this one was apparently "directly rootable"

I will then use use Odin to flash my Phone with this ROM

One it has been flashed, I will go to the default recovery menu and choose Wipe. It was mentioned that I

only wipe after i have flashed the GingerBread ROM.

Am i right?

Then I will reboot.

I will let the phone start but I don't need to configure anything as I don't intend to use this ROM. It is merely to be able to install CM9.

I read this warning on the page which got me confused. Does this affect me?

I have two questions:

When installing the CM9 ROM, can i do it using the default Gingerbread ROM's recovery menu or do I need to get CWM Recovery installed?

I haven't been able to even find out how to install CWM Recovery on my Galaxy Note. There doesn't seem to be any installer.

Before installing the CM9 ROM. Do i need to have root access on my GingerBread ROM that i just flashed?

If I've understood correctly, installing CM9 ROM will automatically give me root and also automatically install CWM Recovery.

Depending upon what you guys say, I'll use either the CWM Recovery or the default recovery to install the new CM9 ROM. The steps are the same though. Am i right? Here:

I will download the latest CM9 nightly-build ROM and the Google Apps package and store them on my micro-SD card.

I will then boot into the Default/CWM recovery menu and choose "Install ZIP from SD card" and install the CM9 ROM and the Google Apps package.

I will then reboot from the menu and that's it.

At this point I have a question:

Do I need to do a "Wipe" from the recovery menu

after

i have just flashed the CM9 ROM and the Google Apps package and before rebooting my phone?

Thanks everyone. I have tried to write clearly and explain my issues in an orderly so I can solicit some good information from you. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
That is fine, I dont think it matter if it is directly rootable or not

Yes that is correct :)

No, It only affects ICS users, You will be on GB for this so dont worry

You will need CWM recovery, You cannot flash unsigned packages through the default recovery, Either download the cwm.zip (read about the new discovery in the General section) Or flash Speedmod (GB) Kernel

Flashing Speedmod kernel will give you CWM and Root - So I would suggest to do that as its a lot quicker and easier.

Yes that is right, Make sure you put the files on your Internal SD card not the external (removable) SD card

No you do not need to, As you would have already wiped before flashing it in recovery

Your welcome, I welcome everyone's questions, God knows there's enough users who dont ask and end up with a brick !

Hey all, I've had my note exactly a week tomorrow.

I've been running Paranoid Android for exactly a week tomorrow :silly:

I've been reading lots of panicky/scared comments on here about flashing, ROM's and Kernels - Azzledazzle/Dr Keitan are doing a great job feilding these questions and I wanted to just add my tuppence and offer a (relatively) easy method that I used - massive thanks and kudos to azzle & the great doctor :p

Preparation

Preparation is Key.

Download the pre-requisite files

Odin + zip/unzip (7-Zip) + Win drivers

Pre-rooted GB ROM (This is from the great Dr. Keitan's signature)

The ROM of your choice i.e. the ROM you ultimately want to flash & use e.g. Paranoid Android

The Method

Install Odin & if necessary the appropriate drivers

Now stick your Note into download mode - Big Home button + Vol down + Power

Flash the Pre-rooted GB ROM - This same link as above details how to do that - thanks doctor :good:

After GB is installed and rebooted and settled, connect the Note back to you PC and copy over the ROM that you downloaded earlier i.e. the ROM you want to use. Copy it to either internal/external SD.

Now simply reboot the Note into CWM and install as per the instructions for your ROM - these are always found in the OP of the ROM thread.

...and that's it. It's so simple.

I realise it's a bit nerve racking but honestly if you follow the instructions to the letter in the guides provide by Dr.Keitan about installing GB and the instructions for your chosen ROM you will be fine.

Remember the biggest rule of all, do NOT factory reset/wipe from stock kernels. If in doubt it's always better to use the method above to drop back to GB.

Yes it is a bit longwinded but for us Note n00bs it is safer in the long run. Good Luck. ;)

Very nice post but little overwhelming considering its for noobs. How ever extra little time and extra flashing should be a learning curve for all. I have rooted, flashed , changed kernel and did loads of other things and I was really little careless initially and I must say I didn't brick my phone sheer out of luck. But I always used abyss kernel. Now many custom kernels like Franco,speed mod are considered safe. Correct me if I am wrong, we can flash almost any ROM with out having to go all the way down to GB. For safe kernel list check out the posts of chasmodo. Happy flashing.

From what I've read in the PA thread (they have a PA JB Preview based on CM10) thenif your coming from CM9 your fine...obviously all the wipes need to be performed.

I am on liquid black ROM. But I am a noob :p so I always try to find answers for my doubts. I always flash ROMs which are stable and daily drivers I hate bugs. So suppose I am on Franco, speed mod kernels which are said to be safe can I go to cm10 or I have to go to cm9 first or abyss wipes or do I have to downgrade to GB .

Once again a gr8 thread big thanks to noobs for using this thread and keeping the development thread clean and Azzledazzle and Dr ketan who single handedly enlarged the xda community by educating the noobs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yin-Yang:
From what I know is as below (Taken from OP of CM10 by Xplowid:

Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! - You're warned!

- Download the zip

- Download Gapps

- Install the update zip from recovery

- Install gapps

- WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET

- Reboot

So it seems you definitely need to be either on CM9 or an AOSP ROM to flash CM10
