[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
After weeks of struggle

because we aren't skilled developers - just learning :)

A bricked device,

and a tattered USB cable too

And finally a dumb patent-war

an Apple a day cost Samsung a billion everyday

We are proud to present -

------------------------------------

ABOUT

The Half-Illusion Series is jointly developed by myself and abhisahara (abhi, what do you do anyways? :p).

It is built from AOKP and CM10 sources, which we have worked upon to create a ROM of our liking.

So a big thank you from our side to the following for their immense contribution -

Android Open Kang Project

CyanogenMod Team

Team Hacksung

However, having source repositories at your disposal means nothing, unless you know what to do with them.

For taking out time to teach us, and patiently answering my ridiculous questions (analogous to "S-Memo work?"),

we would like to express our gratitude to the following, who have helped us unselfishly -

PieR

Bajee11

To be able to understand what is being taught, some amount of elementary knowledge (ok, a big amount) is very much required.

For guiding us through this phase and helping us get our feet wet,

we are thankful to antiochasylum and the entire Asylum Community.

Last but never the least, a big thank you to all who have been with us and supported us, either emotionally, financially or otherwise.

Your mere presence is a comfort.

(and anyone else that I maybe missing out)

Before you begin, I would strongly recommend that you go through this informative thread by Recognized Contributor abhisahara -

Helpful info on JB, ICS, GB,Bricks, Flashing: Trying to Sum Up!

It is also essential, and rather imperative that you are regular at Recognized Contributor chasmodo's Kernel Repository thread to

stay updated on the latest, safest kernels and relevant discussions.

We appreciate and respect his wonderful contribution to our device's forums.

INSTALLATION

Make sure you are on a certified 'safe' kernel (which means anything that doesn't read Samsung)

before flashing this ROM. As mentioned, please check chasmodo's Kernel Repository for further information. But yes,

DO NOT FLASH FROM STOCK SAMSUNG ROM / KERNEL

1. Wipe Data / Factory Reset. Absolutely necessary. No matter what ROM you are on.

2. Flash the ROM package provided as a .zip file.

3. Flash Google Apps package for Android 4.1.1 provided as a .zip file.

4. Reboot.

5. Enjoy!​

If device appears to be in a boot-loop. Do not panic.

Reboot into recovery, wipe again (no need to re-flash rom) and reboot.

It will surely boot up the second or third time. :D
