[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
I'm starting this out of my huge disappointment when first getting my Note. I have great eyesight, and never had any problem seeing anything on my previous 4" - 4.3" phones. But things were really cramped on some apps. I was expecting to gain quite a bit of screen 'real-estate' with this big bump is screen size...but this DIDN'T happen. With 90%+ of the apps I used, they just scaled up...providing nothing more on the screen, just the same cramped layout, but bigger. I loaded up over 100 apps side by side on my Atrix and my Note to see which apps actually use the larger screen size well. This is just my personal opionin, but using the same exact display [but making it bigger] is actually a downgrade for me. I get the same amount of info, but I have to move my hand around a much bigger space to interact with this same amount. Anyways, I want to get a list together of all the apps that, by default [or with provided settings] you can adjust to actually use this extra space.

So far I've only run across 1 app, but it works 100 times better on my Note than the Atrix.

Business Calendar: This has in-app settings where you can adjust how much info to display, the font size of everything imaginable, and everything is customize-able in the widgets as well. This app works so well on the Note, I can literally go into 'month' view, and it will display all my events [with all their info], something I haven't been able to accomplish with any other app on any other device.

Go Launcher EX: Allows you to change grid size of home screen and app drawer, and change icon size easily [8x6 while shrinking icons slightly works nicely]

TweetCaster: In app adjustments of font size allow for more info displayed on screen.

Mobo Player: Floating Window feature works great on large screen. You can leave your video playing in corner [in floating, movable window] and use your device as usual, sending texts, email, etc. while your video plays in a separate window.

Would be great to get feedback from anyone else's experience so far, and what apps can be customized on the Note well. **This is my first week with the Note, so I'm really hoping there are a bunch more besides just the 1 I've found so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gorillaz1:
You should try paranoid android. The app dpi settings work to fix your issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
You are referring the the ROM 'Paranoid Android', correct? I will definitely be messing with my DPI settings personally to tweak my Note until I'm happy with it for sure. I'm also looking to get a list together of apps with built in settings that work well with larger screens. It would be nice to have a list, to be able to recommend alternatives to people when they ask, who will never be flashing new ROM's, or doing any adjustments from stock.

I was going to mess with my dpi manually, but I will definitely give Paranoid Android a look, thanks for the tip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
can I see a pic of the same app two differet phones? curious to see what your talking about,?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nlghtcrawler:
I'm running cm9 at 210dpi and I'm loving it. Everything is the way it should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
I'm retarded...sat down to do this and realized my camera's are on my phones. I will have to dust off my actual camera later on if I can find it.

Basically I'm just saying a lot of apps will display exactly the same thing regardless of physical dimensions of screen. So if an app has a vertical list of 26 buttons to scroll through, and the smaller screen device shows 5 at a time, and you have to scroll through the rest. It would be nice if with the Note you would now see 6 buttons at a time, with the buttons remaining the same physical dimensions. But the Note will still show the same 5 buttons, just enlarged to fit the larger size...so you don't gain anything. [I'm probably not explaining myself very well, but it sounds like the previous suggestions of changing my dpi will solve this.

Go Launcher let me make my icons [with less pixels] so now they are the same physical dimensions they were on my Atrix [same readability] but now I have 8 rows, and 6 columns instead of 6 rows by 5 columns [Giving me 18 more icons, the same size as Atrix]

Make sense?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaokang:
I believe that its because the apps arent written to scale up. Kinda like how tablet apps are written to fit tablet screens vs phone screens. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
Yes, that is the reason. That's why I'm putting together a list of apps that are coded for better use on larger screens [but still the phone version of their app and not tablet] or have options in their settings to scale objects / fonts / etc. within their app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
Does CM9 have DSP Manager as part of the system? I had it on my Atrix, I believe as part of CM7. The sound is not nearly loud enough right now, I think that was the case with my Atrix also before I discovered the DSP Manager [Totally changed how I could use my device, as the sound was enough to fill a whole room even with background noise after I switched to CM7]
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phydo:
On occasion when I'm viewing stuff on the n7, I'll get a vertical line of what I can only describe as feedback or something about 1.5-2" from the top of the screen (portrait mode). It looks like its just one pixel strip. It's very fast then gone. Anyone have a sort of issue like this?

There is no point in going back to Gingerbread. There are plenty of safe ICS kernels to flash from. Never EVER have I gone back to gingerbread, and I've tried almost every ROM in this forum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eug3n91:
Of course there are other ways, but as our grand master of Cyanogen and Samsung ceremonies, sir Entropy pointed out, the only

100% SAFE WAY

to do it is by reverting to GB, WITH PC ODIN, NOT MOBILE ODIN.

Both might work, but the 100% sure one is the PC-Odin-return-to-GB-way

So is there no way to move from CM9 to CM10 without returning to GB. If not I'm happy returning to GB if its 100% safe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eug3n91:
The "Return-to-GB" should only be made once you're on "dangerous" kernels, such as Stock Samsung ICS, or ROMs based on stock Samsung ICS. In the case of Cyanogen, you can flash back and forth (with the mention of full-wiping in between, as the guide in their OP says) as much as you want.

No return to GB needed between CM9 and CM10
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ueihtam:
Wrong, now he says that you only have to flash the CM9 safe kernel from CM9 thread FAQ. If you look at the last CM9 thread, you find that Entropy said several times there's no need to flash GB or abyss kernel.

From CM9 thread
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Canuck_in_Japan:
Thanks so much for this. I'm going to wait a month or two and see if any official Jelly bean live comes down the pipeline but after that I may take the plunge with my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androiadicted:
This wrong and you will get bootloop if not first installing cm9. And no need to go back to gb, just flash a gb kernel and reboot in to recovery.

1> will work as said

2> hydracore is now not supported by its Dev so.. use any other safe kernel like Philz or Speedmod.

3> will work as said. just make sure you are on CWM recovery.. it comes default with safe kernels

4> Gapps are google apps which is not included in some roms like CM.. so if you plan on flashing these roms, after flashing the rom in recovery, you need to flash gapps file after it in the same way as you flash the rom file. the rom thread will usually point to the right Gapps package .. if you are flashing a TW custom rom then its not required as it includes gapps,

I might be missing something, or it is some other problem? I've flashed a safe Abyss Kernel using temp CWM beeing in stock LRG 404, but phone didn't boot behind the Sam logo. I then flashed stock LRG image with PC Odin and it returned to same (no data loss).

Is Abyss kernel flashable from ICS? Its not clear from threads Ive read...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ueihtam:
No.

No Spen without samsung touchwizz framework. And no touchwizz framework on aosp roms like CM9 and 10.

You cant boot on ICS with a GB kernel (abysskernel), abyss kernel is just used to boot in recovery and be able to do safe flash/wipe.

Dont use the GB/abyss kernel crap like proposed in this thread, flash CM9 like said in the CM9 thread in dev section (faq in OP), then flash CM10 like said in CM10 thread in dev section.

This thread should be closed, this step by step is more confusing than usefull.

HOW TO INSTALL

- 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
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iyousif:
How about flashing GB kernel only with CWM (like GB SpeedMod)?

Yes, the phone wont boot because you're in ICS ROM. so all you need to do is boot into recovery make a backup of your current ICS ROM then flash the CM10.

When you want to go back to ICS just restore your backup from recovery and flash any ICS kernel again like SpeedMod (ICS) or Stock.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Trell is absolutely right here. If you are on an unsafe kernel, or not rooted yet, all you have to do is:

1. visit my kernel thread and download

- CM9 safe kernel tar, or

- DAFUQ tar, or

- Notecore tar, or

- Speedmod tar

2. flash it using PC Odin (put the kernel tar in PDA slot)

3. reboot into recovery

4. do all the wipes, including factory reset

5. flash CM10 and Gapps

6. do a factory reset and reboot

7. use Triangle Away to reset your counter

Easy-peasy.
