Frequently Asked 'FAQ'

​

Where is S-Note/S-Memo?

Can I install it on CM/AOKP roms?

A: NO.

Look for alternatives - Memo, Jotter, Papyrus, etc.

I'm confused - I still can't understand, whether I'm running safe kernel or not?

A: Head to this thread - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1789397.

All of the kernels, stated under "CM 10 (JB) Kernels", "CM 9 (ICS) Kernels", "TouchWiz based ICS kernels" are safe. So if you're on the one of those kernels, and have working CWM recovery - you are ready to go.​

I'm on pure CM9 or CM10, or another CM based, and want to try another kernel. Can I do this?

A: Yes. If you're on CM9 or CM10 based roms, you can use any of kernels from this thread -

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1789397,

stated under "CM 10 (JB) Kernels" or "CM 9 (ICS) Kernels" accordingly -

CM9 to CM9 based (Asylum ICS, Anidroid, Paranoid ICS, Ganbaru, etc.), and CM10 to CM10 based (½ ILLUSIΘN JB, Asylum JB, Paranoid JB, etc.)​

What is Gapps and why do I need to flash it together with CM rom?

A:From Cyanogen Wiki:

Can we go from CM9 to CM10 without going back to GB ?

A:Yes. Let's say, you're on latest CM9 nightly.

Backup your rom in recovery, as described in OP, flash CM10 rom and JB Gapps, perform wipe data/factory reset, and you're fine.

To go back, you should flash the latest CM9 kernel from this thread -

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1789397,

advanced - reboot recovery, restore your backup, wipe cache and dalvick.​

Can we go to CM10 without installing GB rom or kernel? Especially, if I'm on stock ICS?

A: Yes, if you are on safe kernel, again -

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1789397.

All of the kernels, stated under "CM 10 (JB) Kernels", "CM 9 (ICS) Kernels", "TouchWiz based ICS kernels" are safe.

Don't forget the full wipe, while moving from branch to branch.​

After flashing CM9_safe_kernel my phone won't go past "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot screen. Is my phone bricked?

A: No, stay calm.

It is just your previous system, that can't boot with CM9 kernel.

Turn off the phone, and turn it it into the recovery (power+home+volume up), and continue per OP.​

I booted into the recovery and can't see my CM build and Gapps.

A: Inside the menu "Install zip from sdcard" go to "Choose zip from internal sd".

In any way, there is suggested to to put your files to external sd (you can do it anytime through card reader, etc.)​

I'm starting to install my zips, and installation is being aborted (I see dead Android with yellow triangle).

A: Your files are corrupted. Re-download it, and compare to MD5 sum, stated at the download site.

If issue occurs again, re-format your sdcard in FAT32, and try again.​

Will all my Apps and Data stay on my phone when upgrading from nightly version to nightly version? Or will everything be deleted?

A:All of your apps and data will remain, "wipe cache/dalvick" commands are not touching /data and /system partitions.​

Since I rooted and installed Cyanogen Mod I get a yellow triangle when booting the phone; everything has always worked perfectly though.

Is this a problem? And how do I get rid of it?

А:It's a custom binary counter being activated - your warranty is void with this tg.

Search for "Triangle-away" at the forum - it will reset the counter back to "0" and will remove the triangle..

No problems for functionality at all.​

I have: Battery drain, instability, sudden reboots/ shutdowns, any other strange issues...

A: Rule number one: Super clean install. Boot to CWM recovery (while on safe kernel), go to "Mounts & storage", and choose "Format /cache, /data, /system". If you have any apps data on /emmc (inte

=rnal storage), back it up, and also format /emmc.

Then install the CM rom and proper Gapps.
​

Q:

a) My Wi-Fi signal is bad. Should I use another modem?

b) I have no Wi-Fi, what's going on?

A: a) Wi-Fi and modem - different things. Only mobile network is modem depandable. Dig your networks settings/router. b) There is Wi-Fi. Wipe all, do clean install.​

I picked a default action for the app (launcher, gallery, whatever), but now I regret and want my choices back.

A:Go to Settings > Apps > All > scroll to default appchosen > open it > scroll down > click "clear defaults > press Home Button > choose whatever you want​

I can't backup / restore on CM10 based rom. Why?

A: a)Because it's not working on early versions

b) When you're backing up, check the recovery version/kernel. Be sure to have the kernel on your sd, and the easiest way for painless restore is to flash the original kernel, reboot recovery, and then restore​

I installed rom / kernel, and have a bootloop / can't go past boot animation

A: Don't worry. Boot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvick cache, fix permissions.

Still the same problem?

Go to recovery, mounts and storage, format system, data, cache, make your install again.​

My 1080p video can't be seen after installing new kernel/rom (Hydra, AOKP, whatever...)

A: Codec problem.

Until it's fixed, get Mobo Player - it plays all the stuff.​

I lost root after installing Hydra kernel!

A: Get SuperSU app (flashable .zip), install it from CWM, update binaries.

I flashed X kernel on Y rom and phone can't boot!

A: Since 3rd of October, CM10 has been updated with new Mali drivers. Hense, CM-based roms won't boot with old CM or custom kernels, which are not updated accordingly. For getting explanation about compatibility - post your questions here.

***NEW*** My ringtone plays once only, no loop!

A: The solution is here.
