[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
Hey guys,

I very recently (with the help of a few well-informed xda members) flashed the paranoidandroid ROM to my Nexus 7. It came with the 'stock' Browser, as opposed to the Chrome that the Nexus 7 came with from the factory. I installed the chrome from the market, but it has a completely different UI. This isn't gamebreaking, but damnit did I LOVE the UI from the Nexus 7 rom.

I've done tons of searching, but can't find any info on it anywhere. (All I can find is the market version.)

The UI that I'm interested in is the Desktop-style one that the stock Nexus 7 rom had. With actual tabs, each with close buttons (almost like the standard android browser from 4.0 and before.) Does anyone know where to find/how to install this?

As I said. Not really a gamebreaker, but if it's possible, I'd much appreciate it. :)

---

Mods, if this is in the wrong place, I very much apologize. Move it if you have to.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You must have chrome in phone UI.

Go to the paranoid settings and change it to a tablet UI.

Hope that helps :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChaoticLlama:
what UI are you using with Paranoid? Phone/Phablet/Tablet?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorpanicuk:
I had the same problem too, I fixed it by going into Settings > Paranoid Android Settings, then Apps.

Select Chrome from the list. Swipe to the left until you see Layout/UI options, change 360px to 720px (or 600px will do). Click Apply at the top and click OK when asked to force close. That's all you should need to do.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
Thanks, you guys. Much much better now. I love fancy swipey UIs as much as the next guy, but I really prefer a seamless ui between my tablet and desktop. I have that now. Again, thanks so much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianshmian:
this is the usual image of the notification bar. mine is suddenly bigger. how'd that happen? im stumped and i like the old one better. I just slept and when i woke up its suddenly bigger.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Weird. Have you tried pulling the battery and then replacing and powering back on??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianshmian:
Let me try that now. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianshmian:
And there we are. What do you think happened there?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Hard to tell. Every once in a great while things just go haywire. Same thing happens to your home computer if you don't restart it ever so often. Glad it fixed it for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kushmanek:
dat helped :D

thnx man dis happened with me ...thnx fr dis trick..i flashed d rom again to solve it..lol noob me ! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
Your phone ate too much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfX:
It happened to me to. A simple reboot fixed it. I have absolutely no idea what has caused this or how to reproduce it.

you are the man tomin!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] daminux:
can it be posible to have a custom rom with togles , i have a hard time going to recovery on tmobile note , i have i717
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
Update! flash on my i717m and its turned into a slow phone lol! well maybe I will just give the modem a try and see if that fixes it

thank you very much!

downloading now and will give it a go!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] kelvin_swe:
please excuse my ignorance. Can i flash this on my rooted and sim unlocked ATT note i1717?

I am on tmobile using att note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] recepo1:
So i have a tmobile note.......and as far as flashing the stock recovery image how would i flash..... do i flash through odin? Because odin wont recognize unless its in tar form or do i just send it to a zip file and flash through cwm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Wrong reply. OK, I went ahead and gave it a shot on my i717 and it ran pretty smoothly after giving the T-mobile bloatware a chance to settle down. Check post 2 for what I did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Yes, you would flash it through odin. It's only for people who don't want to trip the flash counter. Look at the rooting guides in post 2 and decide which method is best for you. Most people will opt for the nice and easy method in the first guide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Lvnlegendinc:
Im on a rooted att note.... What would be the recommended way?

I also dont know what flash counter or tripping flash counter is lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Not worries. Writing up a little guide for people on the AT&T note. Just testing it on mine first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
The flash counter tells warranty people if the phone was flashed to non stock roms or other software and modifications via odin. So it can sometimes void your warranty if they(warranty people) are on top of things and do their job.

Braway came up with a program to reset it to look like it was not tampered with. So if you have problems, it can be returned or warrantied without the "I wonder if they will honor this since I modded my phone?" type of guilty questions to self!

@ tomin- you have been verry busy!! Great thread. Thank you. I am looking forward to ?maybe? getting the ATT version to work flawlessly on tmo! I am thinking positive here!:fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
I know. You'll have to test it for me in a few.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Since I am using my Gnex as my reliable phone, I am always up for testing on the Note!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Lvnlegendinc:
THanks Alot... very appreciative of all ur hard work as everyone who has gotten to this point also!

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Got it, I figured it had something to do with whiping any trace of flashing... thanks for the info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
I should have also added flashing stuff via CWM does not bump up your flash counter. Putting CWM on your phone via Odin does bump it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Lvnlegendinc:
Will u be making another thread for ATT users? or will u add it to this thread?

Need to know where to refresh lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
I just added it to this thread. See post 2. I might duplicate it over in the i717 thread tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
It's up. Third guide in post 2. Gotta say, even with a fully stock T-Mobile image and radio (expect for the amss.bin needed to prevent lagging) the results are still not as great as the T-Mobile Note. The speeds are consistently 5-6Mbs down and .4-.5Mbs up. So uploads, which was the only real problem I suffered on the i717 are still paltry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Lvnlegendinc:
so we have to flash the radio in the new thread for att users not the one previously posted on the thread?

I guess if we cant get passed 1mb uploads ill stick to the ROM and ICS Blaze radio till someone makes a big improvement.

Im currently getting 4mb download and .4 - 1mb Upload with ICS Blaze
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] santana00:
Where should I look

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
I have a T879 that I am looking for a stable ROM for. I have been looking on rootgalaxynote.com and all I see is i717 ROMS. Is it my understanding I can use those ROM's on the T879. Do I need to Flash the T879 Modem after? I was thinking about using Padawan. Any help would be most awesome.

Thanks in advance

Just tried ROM ing Padawan to my T879. No go. What did I do wrong? Do I need to Flash the i717 Modem or the T879 Modem after applying the ROM? Confused....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cognus:
can someone point me to the MD5 for this one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Does the rom not run? or do you not have data and call connection?

It depends on what sim you are running. Padawan 5.1 and 7.1 worked great on my i 717 note. But I am on tmo's 4g monthly plan, so the att modems don't work well for me. I always flashed the Blaze modem hacked for the att note.

Now I put Jedi 4 on my att note- that's a rom developed for the tmobile note by the same dev- ptmr3 who did padawan. I put on the modem that is part uvlg3 and part n 7005. That's working better for me and will pick up att and tmobile bands (at least that's my understanding).

So depending on what carrier you use is what modem you need. A tmo modem or att modem. Just keep flashing modems till you find one that works well for you. Just flash on top of whatever modem you have. No wipe needed- sometimes I clear cache and data, sometimes I don't. Find one that works well for the rom and your area and your carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] kim621973:
You should done these before! !!

1)Download t-mobile boot.img (defend on your Rom, 4.0.4 tw launcher or 4

1.2 jelly bean)there were two different boot.img.

2).replacing boot.img from desktop

3).loading on your SD card

Make it sure

1.back up your old Rom

2.have to installing twrp 2.3(at&t sgh-717 version)

3.wipe system then factory reset

4.install padawan Rom

5.install t-mobile sgh-879 radio

6.reboot

Should be okay.

Hope it help to installing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cognus:
may I ask why? and, doesn't one have to install twrp 2.3 via cwm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Some roms just refuse to install with CWM.

GooManager app from playstore will install TWRP for you. No flash necessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cognus:
thanks so much for responding! how refreshing.

I'll give that a shot - A question however: do I need to first uninstall CWM, and if so, how? or does GooManager do that?

EDIT: oops; GooManager requires root. I'm not rooted. Will not flash the entire ROM img unless I can get a MD5 check on it.

that's why I've been asking if there is a way to ONLY root the device and install SuperSU...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
I have a SGH-T879 T-Mobile Note, I am on Solavei (MVNO of T-Mobile). When I flashed Padawan It went through the process just fine. Wiped, then applied Padawan, Rebooted. When it rebooted I had the top half of my screen with some blurry grey logo that I could not read. It was all distorted, Then got the Samsung Logo in the middle of the screen clean as day, then the phone goes black. I has to pull the battery, get back into TWRP and wipe again to reinstallJedi Leader 4 which works fine.

So Do I flash the TMO Modem before or after the ROM?

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Install Padawan then the T-Mobile Radio? T-Mobile Radio or Modem? Are we talking the T879-ULVG3 Modem? I have a T879 why would I need the T-Mobile Radio?

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Hi rek! Flashing the modem depends on if your dev included it in their rom. Most devs leave it out so when you flash a rom, whatever modem you had preflash carries over to the new rom. Ptmr3 use to include a modem that would replace yours pre flash but no longer. You just have to read and follow your dev's thread to find out what they do.

Ptmr3 has since taken out the modems in his Padawan roms- at least in the latest builds. So if you do flash his roms, after your rom settles in, then flash your appropriate modem. Worse case is you will be reflashing the same modem- which is just a waste of time, but no harm will be done. I only suggest you redownload your padawan rom- maybe you got a corrupted copy- it happens. and try again if you really want to try it out. Just make a good nandroid back up. Then you can always just reinstall without having to reset up from scratch if it doesn't work again.

Radio=baseband=modem. All the same thing. If you have a t879 note, and you are running on a tmobile mvno, then I think the tmobile modem is appropriate. There are several- use the one that works best. If you don't know, then flash, test, and flash another till you find the one that works best for you. Flashing a modem over another just replaces the 1st one. you don't need to wipe, although sometimes when I settle on the final one I will wipe cache, and dalvik cache, and flash my final choice of modem. I have flashed many trying to find a good one for the att note running on tmo!

Good luck! ;)

I have Jedi4 running on my att note with the tmo/n7005. It might be impacting my battery but need more time to evaluate it.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Sorry to hear you are not rooted.:crying: GooManager just replaces CWM if that's what you have. There is a way to flash TWRP as a flashable zip with CWM- just find that file for your model phone. Google it. or search the sticky threads. I put it on first that way, then lost it with a stock flash, but I saved my root with voodoo OTA rootkeeper, then was able to use gooManager to reinstall twrp.

good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Awesome! Thank you for the great clarification! I will be giving this a shot tomorrow! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
no problem! Have fun, and you only learn by doing and making mistakes. If you make ones that cause trouble, just reach out for help and someone with techie smarts usually will answer the call for help. Just make sure to search the help threads first. They get bent out of shape here when questions are asked over and over! ;) and read,read,read!!! I have learned alot with all the help available and the nice people who do respond when you reach out. We are around! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Yeah I have already had to send 2 Phones to Texas for Jtag treatment. Lol.... $60 a pop for the S III's. The S III's gave me trouble for some reason. Jtag repair does the trick though. They come back fine. So I am SIII shy now. I do not want that to happen to theses T879's I have. If you ever need a phone let me know. I will get you whatever you want at my Cost. Although you may get them cheaper than me. Lol

I have re-downloaded Padawan, just in case of a corrupt first go around. I believe I have the correct Modem. What's with the t-mobile boot.img? I noticed kim621973 saying I should "1) Download t-mobile boot.img (defpnd on your Rom, 4.0.4 tw launcher or 4.1.2 jelly bean) there were two different boot.img. 2).replacing boot.img from desktop 3).loading on your SD card" That part confused me.

Again appreciate all your input and time. I hope to help out all I can for others one day when I feel confident enough and have bricked 10 phones. Lol.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Wiped Factory Reset, Wiped System, Flashed Padawan, Flashed Modem, still no go. Same results. Top half of screen filled with a grey distorted image for a few seconds, then clear Samsung image in middle of screen, then black screen. Pull battery, try to turn on, same thing. Luckily I can Wipe again after all that and restore. Isure would like to know what I am not doing right.

Frustrating..... :silly:

Does this have anything to do with the t-mobile boot.img or wrong modem maybe? (banging head against wall)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
That's weird! Read the tmobile goodies thread by tomin. (lol) this is that thread!!!!! He had an excellent guide for all the new tmobile note users. His guides are usually pretty spot on. There is alot of good info there expecially the 1st couple of posts. That's the one I followed for 1st putting the tmo stock rom on my att note in August. Maybe that will answer your questions. As for the other help with the other steps- I don't know about them. Never did it that way.:(

Sounds like you have had many headaches hacking your toys!:p If you get frustrated, walk away for a day or 2 till you get new resolve ;). I always have a good reliable phone to use while hacking the other. :D

Just another tip- if you are stuck on something specific- type exactly what you want to do in your browser search bar- not the xda search- and usually you will get your answer, and most times it is an xda thread!

Also, look into other tmobile note forums- sometimes info does not cross over into other forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cognus:
I had tried to find someone to answer the question: 'if cwm is installed, does twrp overwrite it, uninstall it, or fail' - the answer is: fail.

I tried a second time to use GooMgr to install TWRP and it flew through, gave the happy sign - "successfully installed" - did a reboot-to-recovery - nope. CWM happily in charge :p

However, that was sorta good news, because the first failed twrp attempt had botched the recovery so the Note would not boot into CWM - just download mode. I guess Goo makes an excellent CWM nanny :good:

something that looks like salvation to me is "Online Nandroid" !! yeah baby. have you installed? I would urge everyone to dl that one from the store and apply the SGH-T879 specific patch [God bless them for thinking of the few of us....]... also has patch for i717.

Why do I like? because with CWM in the ditch courtesy of Teamwin, I was in danger of frying my hard-worked rom and not being able to recover.

O-N does a full backup with the handset in 'normal' fully booted mode. nice clean interface - it just works.

guess I'll just learn to love CWM, and uninstall Goo.... but where are the fragments of TWRP fails?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
FTI:

Not sure if My CWM is gone or just Hiding but I had to use CWM on my T879 to install TWRP and I have never seen CWM since. Strange? I wondered if I needed to uninstall it but guess not. I believed TWRP Replaced CWM but I may be wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
It is usually replaced cause both can't run at the same time. Only one or the other. But keep your nandroid backups file cause you can always just reflash the recovery you want- either cwm or twrp. Unfortunately the nandroid backups are not interchangable:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] fraughtsigewulf:
Don't use Goomanager to install TWRP. Put the TWRP zip file on your device and flash it through CWM instead. It will be installed and CWM will be gone.

Download the zipfile here and install it just like you would a zipped rom through CWM recovery.

goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-t879/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
GooManager comes in handy when you (I) flash a rom and lose recovery completely. If you are still rooted, install gooManager and get twrp back on. Then you can replace with CWM if that's your preference.

If you have the recovery files in zip form that's great, but without any recovery in place you can't flash the zip files. GooManager is good and avoids Odin stuff.

Just my opinion :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cognus:
pad - in essence, that's what I like about Online Nandroid - same sort of safety net. you're worried, but your device is up and running... you don't want to go through an uncertain reboot-to-recovery...

I love the Note 1 btw... its a better tablet than the nexus 7 and a better phone than I have had.

we need an official de-bloating thread....

Odin Fails!!

I have the I717, trying to use Odin3 v1.85 to load T879UVLG3 Stock rom from Tmobile. I have ran it twice now and it continuosly fails when it gets to the Modem phase of the flash. The recovery and system go just fine.

So I reboot the phone, and it just stands on the OS loading screen.

Open to any suggestions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bot42:
Yes go to the Att note SGH-I717 forum and download the T-mobile port made for for your phone, and save it to your sd card, you mat need a card reader. Pull your battery out to stop the boot loop the replace it and charge it fully. Reinsert your sd card. Then while pressing both up and down volume buttons, push and hold the power button. When the Samsung logo flashes you can release the power button followed by the volume buttons. This should bring you into cwm. Then install from sd. Just a note for future use try not to flash roms meant for other phones. Especially with oden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sjohnjuan:
Can someone plzzzz help me. Lol. I've looked high and low for clear directions but can't find them. I have a At&t note and all I want to do flash the 879 modem.

Here's the problem. When I flash it it makes my phone lag really, really bad. Am I doing something wrong? I had this modem on my S2 and I would get download speeds over 30Mbs every time. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Try to track down this radio-UVLG3modemfori717_gt-n7005amss

I don't have the link for you but search it. This is a good cross between the tmo and the variant n7005 which is very close to the i717. Works great. Also try the blaze radio- that's my other go to radio for tmo.

I find the zip files and have flashed them in cwm or twrp. Will just overwrite the current radio you have on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sjohnjuan:
Will the modem I suggested work? I would also like to know why the 879 modem DESTROYS my phone when I flash it, being that it's a Tmo Modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
When the tmo Note first came out it was thought that the radio swap to the att note would be the perfect quick fix. There was a whole thread about it. Read it and it will explain and answer your questions. It's in the t-mo note section that's hard to find since they pulled it out of the drop down menu. It turned out that something is not quite the same in the hardware used in the phones. I think it was the antennas were different- don't remember who- but someone swapped antennas and it made no difference using the tmo radio on the att version.

It just doesn't work. The consensus was that there was enough of a difference in the hardware to not be interchangeable in the modems.

Blaze works well, and the combo modem of the n7005 and tmo.

When they came out with the port of the tmo rom to the att note, I did it and the modem just didn't work well and my phone was just like yours. It didn't work well. I also had a heat problem. So I went back to my ATT roms and alternate radios which work very well.

I have used sence the tmo roms- jedi4 with blaze or the combo modem and that worked well. Also, Flapps tmo rom worked well. With both of those, you had your wifi calling.
