Gingerbread custom ROMs

Hello azzledazzle, I posted the queries I am about to ask in two different threads before coming across your sticky thread! It was stupid and silly of me not paying close attention.

:o

I have a few queries of my own. ;)

1] What are the various

Gingerbread custom ROMs

available for the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000? CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread but unfortunately the Galaxy Note is not officially supported.

I am presently on stock Gingerbread and I will be rooting my device in the coming few days. Having played around with stock Gingerbread, I would like to do the same with custom Gingerbread firmwares.

2] Considering my current Android version is 2.3.6, am I subjected to only using a custom ROM which is based on 2.3.6 or am I free to use any 2.3.x based?

3] Stock firmwares are available in different kernel versions such as, for example, XXKKA for United Kingdom, DDLC1 for India, etc.

Do custom firmwares follow the same pattern or logic?

:confused:

I am still an infant in the Android world and the mobile computing universe in general. I am confident you will try your level best in assisting and guiding me.

I further quote what OverHeel said in a previous post -

Thank you very much for your patience. Awaiting your response.

:)

I am elated that someone has made a post designed to be noob friendly. I was actually going to make one my self after I taught my self how to do "all this", but I just got fed up trying desperately to learn only to be seemingly brushed off. Nice new look by the way.

I would recommend my fellow noobs look through a

few

of my

posts

(that weren't left

unanswer

ed) to help with some of the more basic & abstract questions.

First thing I need to ask is Has the ICS Brick bug been fixed yet? I presume it is a no since I see no threads screaming it.

With that said;

1. What are all the different kinds of fixable errors called, look like, & How are they fixed?

2. How do you know what procedures are required to switch (with out fail) Roms? CheckROM to ParanoidAndroid for example (which are two Roms for those of you unaware). What should I be looking for? ...or Do I have to switch to default "CandyName-OS" each time before I flash a new rom?

...Ill just start with those. Expect more. :eek: *Diabolical Laugh* :silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yin-Yang:
Yes it is safe to flash Abyss kernel. But make sure you wipe only after you are on Abyss, as any wipe/factory reset in ICS may cause brick.

You may follow the foolwoing instructions copied from the OP

1. Copy both Abyss kernel 4.2 (I tend to use the Red version but CWM is fine) and the Criskelo ROM to your SD card.

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Flash Abyss Kernel

4. Reboot to recovery (do not try and reboot the phone completely - it will not work)

5. You are now in Abyss recovery (whether CWM or Red)

6. Wipe data / cache / dalvik

7. Flash Criskelo ROM

8. Reboot (it takes a whole the first time)

9. Enjoy!

By the way there is new updated version onboard for Criskelo, which you can also try. check the OP thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1609252
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishal_Pratap singh:
The best performance I have so far is is on criskelo v9 the earlier version was good as well. But v9.1 many are reporting issues. So I will stay back on v9 and explore other speciality ROMs based on CM9.

Question: I read today that next month note is getting jellybean update from Samsung is it true and if yes can we move back to stock and be ready for Jellybean? Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
I highly doubt we will be getting JB for out Notes, and if by luck we do, it most definitely wont be next month, we've only just got ICS (some users havent yet) so the chances of getting official JB are slim... really slim.

that being said, im 100% certain we will be seeing some JB custom ROMs withing the next few weeks.

I know there is a lot of people like you, so i do my best not to post threads to ask questions,,, and before posting this comment i went around to find an easy way to root and i couldn't find any, thats why i end up posting here a comment, not even a new thread,, but again people like you just want to watch the world burn.

AW: [FAQ] HELP THREAD - Noob Friendly

Today azzledazzle started to search for a new maintainer of his help thread because couldn't spend so much time anymore in updating it.

So I offered to take over because I will stay with the N7000 some time.

And now the first post was already switched (second will follow because it contains the FaQ).

So I will start tomorrow morning with first updates.

This should be easy because we have a really great collection of threads giving many solutions. So helping normally only means searching and using the results.

At the same time there are quite a view members constantly helping others.

Please start to ask questions or give examples for the FaQ section and I will add them.

Thanks azzledazzle for everything you already did here and thanks in advance for other members willing to help here.

Hi,

OK, so may have an issue...I wanted to flash SuperNexus 2.0 today. Reading its thread told me the kernel I was on (Philz) might cause issues with it, but that any CM kernel should be fine. So I chose (at random) Rhythm kernel to flash first. I did a full wipe beforehand, and may have gone a bit overboard, mounting cache, format, preload, system and data and formatting same. I decided to reboot into the ROM I was on (Galaxy Note II ROM) to see how the new kernel worked with it. But the phone stuck on the 'Samsung GALAXY Note N7000' splash screen for so many minutes, I knew something was probably wrong. However. I was able to boot back into recovery and flash SuperNexus without a hitch. I'm not sure if this is a problem or if I'm just really impatient when waiting for things to boot up. Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Re: [FAQ] HELP THREAD - Noob Friendly

What phone do you have?

May be its because you were on a kernel that was not compatible with your current rom. As you said philz, I assume it was a Touchwiz based rom and a cm kernel will not boot the phone.

So when you installed the nexus rom, it instead a kernel that's included in the rom. And voila, phone working again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigarant:
So, CM kernels won't run TW ROMs.

You learn something new every login. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Re: [FAQ] HELP THREAD - Noob Friendly

Also, by formatting system, you didn't have a ROM on your phone anymore to boot into, and even if you did, it still wouldn't have booted, as Rythym kernel is for CM10.1 only (as per Nokiamodel's post)

Installing CWM via Rom Manager?

Now that Rom Manager v5.5.1.5 from Googleplay supports our n7000, is it safe to use to install CWM on my rooted(Dr. Ketan method) stock ICS 4.0.3? i have checked and it has the potential for the brickbug eMMC problem

Or am I asking a really stupid question since it is already installed????????

I just haven't got the nerve as yet to fully wipe it, despite the many new rom available...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
I won't answer the tool question because I thinkt it's not necessary here - no need to complicate things.

A question first: You tell us that you rooted your device. Are you sure that you do not have a CWM recovery (not the standard one)?

But even this is not important: install Philz' 3.99 kernel from the recovery you have. After doing so reboot into recovery (or reboot, turn off, and 3-button-press into the Philz' recovery).

Then you can wipe, clean, flash, backup (whatever you want).

Of course you should choose the Custom Rom you like first and copy it to your sd card - and more important: read the installation instructions for the specific Rom.

Make a nandroid if you wish from recovery and / or make a titanium backup of all your user apps and data (system too if you wish, but dont restore on a different rom)

then once done boot into recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) and also format /system and /preload (if you wish to, under mounts and storage)

or..... you can flash a newer version of philz recovery and go into philz settings and select 'clean for new rom' or something like that.

then flash away, once booted, restore your data with titanium or use an app to extract the apps from your nandroid.

simples :)

Hi there,

my repaired note's coming back tomorrow with STOCK UNROOTED Gingerbread 2.36 as i think. (it could be some ICS release, but it's not that likely)

I want to flash a custom ROM and this is the first time i'm trying to do this. It's the Revolt ROM, i assume together with a fitting kernel. I'm having problems understanding the very general instructions given by the developer of the ROM.

It says:

I stumbled upon this HowTo: [GUIDE] How to install § backup § revert CM/AOKP rom [β] . And this is where it's getting kind of confusing for me! As i understand it, my steps should be the following:

0: install ODIN3 v 1.85, download latest custom ROM

1: ROOT the Note:

- i assume i need to root it and get CWM (for step 2 below)?

-> should i stick to GB and root this? should i update to ICS and root this? (see 1st line of my post)

i'm looking for a very noob-friendly method without putting my Note in danger of a BRICK! hints?

(do i need to flash a safe kernel until here?)

so let's say i got the phone (stock GB or ICS) rooted and i assume now i need to:

2: enter CWM! there:

- wipe DATA

- wipe CACHE

- wipe DALVIK-CACHE

3: now, the instruction says "FLASH ROM" ... how? With ODIN? The zip of the custom ROM looks like THIS! this doesn't look suitable for instructions i saw for ODIN (3 different file types).. what to do from now?

HELP!! In every way! :rolleyes: :good: Please set me straight on this. :crying:

Re: [FAQ] Help Thread Revived - Still Noob Friendly [Updated 25th Jan 2013] ]

It's easier to root on ICS these days. Just update to ics and use one of philz ics kernels zip file to root. Do not wipe on stock ics kernels.

Once you install philz kernel you will have Cwm and it's a safe kernel to install any rom you want.

Now boot into recovery, go to philz settings and choose clean up before new rom. Once done, flash the revolt rom followed by gapps. Reboot. Enjoy :thumbup:

Custom Rome has to be flashed using Cwm. Not using odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohrenstaebchen:
Great, thank you for your help! :o

so, update to stock unrooted ICS, install philz kernel (this one, i'll look into the thread for further install instructions for it), then i have custom safe kernel, cwm and root for my ICS android.

from the "philz CWM" i simply "open" the zip-file of the custom ROM and install it (of course i'll do all the wiping stuff before installing the ROM)? and the Revolt ROM comes equipped with it's own kernel (supposed to run with the SIYAH kernel when i remember right) which is going to be installed through the overall ROM installing process (1-zip-install)? that's it?

i'm still a bit confused by the kernel-stuff, don't want go get in any trouble!

With a Custom Rom, changed kernel you won't get official updates (OTA) anymore.

You only get them if the Rom builder adds an upate mechanism by himself (so you have to read in OP of eybee's thread, but I think eybee never used that).

Factory should be safe. But again look at the descriptions in the Rom thread or - if you changed the kernel - in the specific kernel thread.

In CM10.1: first change to a PhilZ kernel >= 3.99 or install a CM10 Kernel

In the recovery of that kernel follow the installation instructions.
