Hey guys,

So im running AOCP on my note, and I go flashing happy when theres alot of dev for a device. Only problem is when I try to flash a cm9 rom or even the King Kang rom thats out, I get this wall of text for an error :

Assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I

717 || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SGH-I717 ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "quincyatt" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "quincyatt"

E: Error in /emmc/Download/cm-9.0.0-RC2-quincyatt.zip

(status 7)​

Now im in the computer science field and it looks like its checking for what device it is and it doesn't seem to be reading correctly,

I went into my status and checked the device of my phone and it came up Samsung-SGH-i717, so im not sure where the problem is.

I've also tryed going back to stock totally and then flashing cwm, and then tryed these roms again and no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

You're running a build of CWM that is not using the right device name for quincyatt. I would suggest upgrading to TWRP2 or the newest CWM.

Please post your question in Q&A therad

I made it with this way. You must not downgrade, just change kernel with flashtool. Flash 4.0.3 kernel, root and install cwm, then flash back 4.0.4 kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BloodEdge:
To flash kernel, you have to unlock your BL first.

BUT, in fact, you could flash a pre-rooted kernel after unlock BL, so you needn't flash a 4.0.3 kernel first:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Unlock your bootloader to flash custom kernel.

In this rooting method you flash sony stock kernel

, so you don't need unlock your bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] brunsman6229:
yes you don't have to unlock your bootloader to flash the "stock" kernel which is an "ftf" file... just flash your 4.0.4 normally, after flash the 4.0.3 kernel, when is done reboot and root it, and reflash the 4.0.4 kernel... voilà... and after you can install your CWM

[Nexus 7 General] ace7196:
I know some people want to use this to take notes, and I think it's perfect for that. It can all be done for $2, as well.

1) Go to your local dollar tree/store, and get a stylus (or 8) from there. They work great, and it allows me to keep one at the office/home/etc. If that fails, you can get them from Amazon (they look exactly the same).

2) Buy 7notes (we all have $25, buy some damn legal apps already).

3) Profit! The app works at a keyboard stand-in, and it predicts your words perfectly (I have the worst handwriting, and it has yet to mess up). For syncing stuff, I suggest Evernote (free and nice interface). FYI, Evernote is like dropbox for notes. They are availible everywhere, and with the addon program (also free) Skitch, you can save drawings with your notes.

Alternatively, if you don't want your writing turned into digital text, you can use Freenote, which works great for straight writing/drawing.

Also, root your Nexus 7. If for no other reason than to change the DPI to 160 (tablet mode with the buttons on the lower left hand side, notifications on the lower right, etc) and to get AdAway. The stock browser is also really slick with the thumb navigation menu.
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
I have not tried it yet, but Evernote allows taking notes in freehand. Used it on my KF in many meetings.

The Verge recently had an article about iPad styli and the well reviewed ones were $15 +

That's pretty cool and everything, but I don't know that I want it as a keyboard replacement outside of the app itself. Did anybody see a setting that only allows the handwriting input for the app only?

Wow, 7Notes is amazing! I can't believe how well just using their keyboard entry (freehand writing area) works with any app.

This is one of the best stylus apps I've used. I've been disappointed in the past because my iPad had so many options and none of my Android tablets seemed to register the stylus well. Not only does the Nexus 7 read the pen perfectly, the better sharing options in Android make it so much more useful. Just blown away by it.

Offline notes means access to all my previous notes and notebooks when not connected to wifi. This is available in Ever note premium. If I'm willing to pay 45 dollars per year or 5 dollars a month for the premium upgrade... I need offline access to my notes, since the whole point is having all my notes with me without carrying a stack of notebooks, and without access to wifi in my office, or while traveling to our various offsite business partners. But I'm not willing to pay that much for it, and I don't want to sign up for new recurring bills either. All I really need is a better way to save and organize notes created in free note.
[Nexus 7 General] RumDrools:
$1 stylus? Jeez, I just spent $20 on mine and that was the cheapest I could find around my city...

I've been using FreeNote in class, it's great. I especially like that it has English and Ideographic writing modes so I can take Japanese notes as well

Just started using 7notes myself. Everyone should give this app a try. It really is priceless on a tab. Work pretty good even with just your finger.
[Nexus 7 General] mcfar45:
Do such styluses even exist?
[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
Yes they definitely do, the problem is that because the OS is setup so the capacitive touch requires a certain amount of input to prevent being overly sensitive and keep it as close as possible to recognizing real input and dismissing other contact, its got a limit on how fine the point of whatever is touching it can be. So with fine tipped styli, on previous OS versions it was that way anyway unless this technology is different hardware or software related, there was a fine line to walk between something easy to use for handwriting and something that the tablet picked up and recognized easily too.
[Nexus 7 General] :
For all those wondering about a rubber tip. They all are. Some are just less grippy than others. You'll be able to tell, just take it out of the packaging in the store and see. They $1 stylus I have does not scratch (the N7 isn't gorilla glass, but it is scratch resistant).
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Well, there's a Dollar Tree near work so I dropped by on the way to grab lunch. All I found was that there's a surprisingly high number of people willing to ask random strangers for "a few bucks" while you're in there. And as expected, when I asked one of the 2 employees, they couldn't get past "pen with a rubber tip on it" and had no idea what I was talking about.
[Nexus 7 General] okantomi:
I have a few other types. There's a brush tip that's surprizingly good but not so much for fine detail. There's my Motorola powered pen (uses a battery)..finer tip, not bad. And there is the Adonit Jot...That one works well but has a possibility of scratching the screen...scratched my screensaver on my Xoom, but may have been user error, lol.

Update: I've just tested all but the brush tip with my Nexus 7, and hands down, the rubber tipped styuses worked the best. Continuous marks without any breaks and the lines they make are very thin (according to the application/settings you choose). I was using it with 7Notes. Great app.
[Nexus 7 General] janedoesmith:
I walked through each and every isle of Dollar Tree and I found it next to some miniature tripods.
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
I had a jot pro, it is definitely better than the typical rubber topped stylus. But there is an even better one that is about to be released:

http://www.paramuspost.com/article.php/20120717163723642

I ordered one to try.
[Nexus 7 General] okantomi:
Well, my quick and dirty test showed the Jot had the most "jitter" and was actually unusable, but I think it should be tested more thoroughly before I dismiss it for use with the N7. The link you gave also looks interesting...I like the looks of the stylii lower down on the page...I wonder if they would work with this tab.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Yeah, they are (or should be) in the electronics isle, near those tripods and usb cables (YMMV).
[Nexus 7 General] tkelly0727:
i use supernote :) works well
[Nexus 7 General] paulsam7:
Look for New Trent styli, they have microfiber on the tip, and glide much more smoothly.
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
Interesting variation on the Jot idea, but I'd still worry about the fragility of the tip (just like the Jot). For something made of "aerospace-grade aluminum" they're certainly doing their darndest to look like cheap plastic.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Yeah, I found that Aisle, looked in almost every non-food aisle, no luck. All I found in the "tripod" aisle were CD cases, USB lights, and this BIZARRE thing you shoved in your phones 3.5mm jack and it stuck to the back and it was a stand. Heh, the trip was worth just that thing alone.

No, I didn't buy it.

Trent Limir Stylus

I ordered the Trent Limir stylus and it just arrived today. It was only $8.95 on Amazon and includes a ball-point pen at the other end. It feels pretty comfortable and glides very smoothly, thanks to the fiber tip. Along with FreeNote, it turns the Nexus 7 into a great note-taking device. For drawing, I have Sketchbook Mobile.

BTW, it also works great on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] iastonish:
Not for not taking, but sketch book mobile express is a great free sketch book app.

As far as stylus, I use one of the big rubber tipped ones and find it hard to fit more than ten or so words on a page and I don't write super big or anything, its just near impossible to write fine with a thick tipped stylus.

Notetaking with Nexus7

The handwriting recognition in chrome for N7 is working well. Is there any app yet that can do handwriting to text using that?

The other thing I need is to be able to take a quick picture with the camera that gets pasted in without having to juggle it in. Picture taking is a little awkward with the front cam but for notes, the framing is not critical.

It wouldn't hurt to be able to pass a QR code to chrome.
[Nexus 7 General] xarthos:
Look for Dagi Stylus on amazon. It is amazing. I use it to draw and take notes. They make a bunch of different types that are all really accurate. There are some drawing videos using it on youtube that showcase how good it works.

I ordered one based on your advice. Was using a cheap stylus purchased for a dollar. The new Trent stylus arrived today and what a difference! Definitely worth the extra money. Not for precision drawing, but I think it will be perfect for note taking. Glides so much better, I should be able to take faster and more accurate notes. Thanks for the tip!

[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I just want to confirm, does this act as a keyboard replacement in android? meaning if I am in any app (say a pdf application and I want to make notes on the pdf) does it take the place of the normal android keyboard?

If not, how does it work exactly? Let's say that this post I'm typing, how would this work doing it via 7notes? Would I launch 7notes and then 'send to browser' copy/paste?

Just curious how it integrates with other apps and what are the limitations.

I know that capacitive stylus usually has big tip ... but, there is no new tech to make it smaller?

When I use capacitve stylus ... inside my head is telling me ... the tip is big the tip is big, you cant write / draw in more detail :)

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
For drawing with more detail, search for "precision stylus". They do not have a smaller tip, instead they have a see through tip, for more precision. Adonit Jot its one of these but there is a newer brand about to be released that sounds better. I posted a link to it a couple of pages back.

Precision Stylus

I haven't posted my complete experience here - I'm an artist and also interested in hand-written notes, so:

I tried the microfiber/mesh NewTrent stylus, but find it too squishy, even though the way it glides across the screen is wonderful. My current stylus of choice is the Kuel H12 retractable. Silicon coated rubber tip that glides quite well, and a hard nib inside the rubber that makes the feel much more precise than the rubber by itself. http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-St...=UTF8&qid=1343909796&sr=8-2&keywords=kuel+h12

However, I have just ordered the Plai Estylo *WOODEN* stylus. Extremely different, and looks like the ideal art/writing tool. The wedge shaped tips (different on "front" and "back") create a lot of possibilities. Drawing with a corner that you can actually see sounds perfect.

http://plai.tv/blog/estylo-11

I'll report back when it arrives and I get to try it out.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
Yes that does answer my question. By reading other reviews I got the impression that you did it all within the app and chose to send it to another app via a clipboard or something. So I could be in gtalk, talking with a friend and use this seamlessly. The other thing I'd like to see demonstrated is someone continuing to write. It looks like you do a word or two at a time and have it analyse it. One demo showed it scrolling along but not much. So I assume you can't continuously write? Like say you wanted to write a paragraph of text.

---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

OK I bought it. Still have to play with it. So I see the ability on the stock keyboard (near the space) to switch to 7notes, but once in 7notes I see no means of switching back. I see how to switch to their keyboard, but I much prefer the stock keyboard over there's. Am I missing something or is there no way of switching back on the fly? It seems I have to go into settings and make the stock keyboard the default each time.
[Nexus 7 General] eakeller:
You are correct, there is no way to switch keyboards on the fly. You need to go to the settings, unless someone corrects me......but I think I'm right on this one.
[Nexus 7 General] Zoidy:
When you tap into a text box and the 7 notes write board thing appears then all you need to do to switch back is pull down the Jelly Bean notification bar and you will have the option to choose your input method.

If the option is not there then there may be a setting in the keyboard configuration that enables this.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I'll try that from the notification bar. But I can't seem to get long press on a field where you can input text and get the option to select input device like on older android versions.
[Nexus 7 General] Zoidy:
There is no long press option now. I think Google just moved the keyboard options into the notification bar. You just have to make sure you have tapped once in the data entry field on screen.
[Nexus 7 General] derelict:
I wish the 7notes QWERTY keyboard was better... that thing is a piece of garbage... but the handwriting recognition is pretty good, especially with my poor handwriting...
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
my 7notes is stuck in keyboard mode, i cant find a way to switch back to handwrite mode
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
The button in the bottom left hand corner, long-press and you get the option to switch. What SHOULD be there is a way to switch to stock keyboard. Like it really needs this badly. And yes their keyboard is horrible.

On the actually note taking side: (take with a grain a salt, still barely used it)

Printing is pretty bad. You must actually write for high accuracy. Didn't realize that at first.

At first I was conscious of what I was writing and seemed to be getting low accuracy, but I said screw and just kept writing and didn't even look at the output and wrote a whole paragraph and looked up when I was done and it was 100% accurate. Very impressed! Just trust it and write away.

However, words with contractions are extremely difficult. Trying to get don't can't won't to register was really hard and made it annoying if you use them a lot.

So cool app but scrap their keyboard and just switch to stock or put in an option to switch to stock!! Fix contractions big time, and a nice to have would be recognize printing but I guess that may be too difficult because of spaces in-between letters. I see there are buttons for different inputting styles so maybe one is printing, I haven't played around enough. If that's the case please let me know.
