So I was looking at this you tube video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTcslgE0RK4 and everything seems relatively easy except I go to dl the firmware Here:http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ for my friends note 2 and I don't see a dl for USA or anything close to it. My question is which firmware do I dl? Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify, I can use the aforementioned info in the link to un root the galaxy note II?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itchiee:
I "believe" that its the stock ROM untouched, no root no busy box no custom boot loader.

It will put your Note 2 back to the way it was when you first got it.

* If your uncertain then PM the OP of the post for confirmation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] barberboy420:
I followed the instructions in the link you had and when i go into odin and click pda it goes to the folder i downloaded the stock tar(which by the way is a zip folder called samsung updates which i thought was weird) but i dont see a stock tar and on my pc it wont let me extract the zip file....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itchiee:
Inside the the zip file you downloaded should be a file that ends in .tar or .tar.md5 that is used in Odin.

If your not sure what you are doing you may want to brush up on the process first.

Yeah I'm having a problem with maps it just stops working out of no where in what ever in doing with my phone freezes then just get a message or stopped working. What's going on here??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zefir00:
Can somebody explain this strange gallery behavior:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ny98rNWSc&feature=plcp

Is this normal ?

My Note2 is rooted and I tried 2 stock deodexed ROMs .

Thank you !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
Gallery is funky in Note 2. I am having the same problems. Especially zooming in and out. It's extremely sluggish. I installed "QuickPic" from play store instead. It's a free gallery app and it works like a charm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zen0s:
Whoa... That's odd. I'm not having that issue so far. Are those pictures in external sdcard? Which class sdcard are you using? Try clearing gallery data/cache?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zefir00:
Yes, the pictures are on external class10 32GB Samsung sd card . I cleaned gallery data/cache, but it is acting the same.

I installed "Quickpic" and it is working flawlessly.

I've got the same issue. I tried all the button combinations, tried adb reboot recovery and adb reboot boot-loader with no luck. I tried getting LiveSuite to work, but it doesn't seem to want to progress at all.

I bricked mine too, has there been any progress recovering these tabs?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
Okay this question has been bugging me for a while now. Everyone is waiting on RC aka Ricardo AKA..... on getting the ported p990 to then be ported over to p999. We have many fine Developers here like Eagleblood , Rafase282, tonyp, Kashamalaga and many MIA ones that may or may not return like nycelitemaster, owain94, x0xhellx0x and my favorite Mr. Apocalypse.

My question is simple and would love one of these guys to answer it if possible.

Why are we waiting for RC to port it over when anyone of you guy have done it before. Am I wrong when saying that most of you have ported P990 over to P999 before? I respect everyone I have named. You have brought new life to my G2X. JUst wondering why we wait for RC, like he is the only one who can do this. Please if I am missing something let me know. thanks:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timmyjoe42:
I believe they are waiting for a more stable release of CM10 for the P990 before they bother to port it over for the P999. They should have many of the same bugs that need to be worked out. There is no need to do it twice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
I felt the same thing. Can some of the Developers list above or others I missed confirm this? Maybe this can stop or slow down the rants. The only reason I feel it may not be a difficult thing to do it because of this guys post...

Lezo OS

Hello everyone.

This is a port of the P990 Lezo OS a CM based rom. I am not a developer, just someone who was lucky enough to have this work It's just another piece of a so called "Crack Flashing Series". There are plenty of roms provided to our community, and this also brings people with different likes and dislikes. I aim only to share some of the other roms out there with the community. Maybe you want to try something out inbetween updates from your favorite rom, well, try this.

None of this would out be possible without the help of guides from dubntz and blindndumb. If you like any of the ports thank them as well.

This guy has done it before with other p990 Roms with little experience.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
When we were on Cm7 we were able to port roms by using the already created cm7 base. The problem now is we don't even have a P999 cm10 base to port with, which is why we're waiting on RC since he needs to create the base.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
That seems to make sense. thanks. Can any Developers confirm this. Is RC truely the only one? Or is he just the only one with the spare time to help us? thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
We need kernel and some of the drivers for our device which only ricardo has for jb. Like all of you, i am myself waiting for it. I might be moving on to nexus4 depending on money in hand. 16gb will run for almost $400 after tax.

Sent via G2X-SINGH-UI
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
Don't we already have the drivers and Kernal? They are part of p990 and then don't they just need to port it over.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] G2xer:
More then likely it would be easier to port tonyps experimental ics. We can compile a kernel for it and have the drivers. We just need the experience lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Here's what I think based off what I have read:

I think first and foremost, our Dev's who all own P990's are working in wrapping their wits around the sources for their phones, us and our G2x's are the red-headed step-children (figuratively) of LG. The phone has potential, but gets little attention. I also believe that the Devs are waiting for a kernel to be built with the new sources, which those sources have to be altered to work with the G2x, as they did for the O2x. Something which I don't think our Devs want to do. I may be wrong, but I would think that Bene, or Dj V. have the know-how to do it. Again, we're back to the fact that they're (understandably) going to do work for their phones first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peshal:
As far as I know, the kernel sources for su660 has some issues compiling kernel for p999. It can be one of the reason why we don't have cm10 yet. I believe the developers are working on it. Also the kernel source comes with locked boot loader. So its essential to port old boot loader which is not locked to the new kernel. This might also be preventing other developers from building kernel. If I have time, I will try to see if I can compile the kernel with old boot loader or not this weekend. I am a full time science student. I think to port the p990 ROM we just need a p999 kernel and some p999 specific drivers such as ril drivers. I do hope the cm10 comes asap though. I might be wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
While I do not consider myself a developer, I thank you for listing me there. I personally do not have the time and knowledge required to build a cm10 base for the p999 based off the p990. The kernel and rom needs to be change to work for our phones. Also as it was said already, it would make no sense to make an early port, based on RC work which will most likely piss him off if we start kanging and using his work while it is not even stable enough to build for our phone. So I would say that out of respect and time/knowledge required most people able to make the port would either wait for help debugging the p990 version so it can be ported to other devices without the same issues to be fixed twice or more times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] guitarist5122:
In order to port you need a current rom with jb drivers for our phone. Porting will rip the kernel out of our rom and plug it into the ported rom. Thus why we can't port yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
A regular port from one rom to another with a CM base is mostly replacing a bunch of files with the ones you which to port while keeping the specific libs and files for your particular device, so besides the kernel, you need to make a compatible base if there is not one, then the proprietary blobs and editting files to fix issues. Porting can be very easy or very hard depending what you want to port.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] apolkosnik:
who wants a kernel?

I've posted a kernel built from the cm10 lge-kernel-star repo in the dev thread, maybe somebody feels like taking it for a spin.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rosevilletoyota:
was wonder why the mixed results on the p990 CM 10 by RC then it hit me they have like 14 basebands. Things should be better for us we only have 2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
In theory, I believe that a main issue for our guys did have to do with the absence of lge_star_ril being not present in the sources. That then caused the data, Gps, and battery issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
Which is the problem for the G2x when it comes to Wifi Calling for example...the Kinecto .ko is a GB module at best. Same goes for the Tegra HDMI blob(whch I monkeyed around a very LONG time with);thankfully the P990 has the same HDMI blob. We will never have as good of a port as the P990 because at least the P990 has a ICS leak so kangers for P990 can use modules that work better in ICS leak in CM while all we have to build on is GB blobs and libs.

For my name the division is Rafa-sé It is just that in many places I cant use the é. SO I left it as an e and use use é for the phonetic part.

Morphine! :highfive:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Is the lge_star_ril something LG was supposed to have included? From my (limited) kernel knowledge, that bit seems pretty vital to having a properly working phone.

Without it, how hard is it going to be to get working calls/data/gps without having serious battery and quality issues as you've alluded to?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
It was missing from the old sources, and yea, like I said alot of the deal-breaking issues were due to that, the ICS (which I think was already hacked) was hacked into JB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] carltonhimself:
For what it's worth, the P999 has started to show up in RC's commits as of about 4 hours ago here. The future is looking brighter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
Ha, close enough! And that NH group shoulda tipped me off.

"The gingerbread source was assigning different pins to some of these"...it's all P990 stuff though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] n30wav3:
Yes. Its the gpio.h file from the stock sources which controls the mappings of all the pins. It contains the mappings of su660

, p990 and p999... so nothing new in there.... I have even read the whole file for Marsgod when he was compiling the initial builds of stock kernels...so it already contained the p999 mappings
[Desire General] WoH:
This is the official thread for ParanoidAndroid users. Feel free to talk about anything related to the ROM!​

I'll answer questions about feature here to keep the dev thread as clean as possible.

Feel free to suggest things, ask about features, I hope I can help you.

I'll also try to make the rom better for everyone, so I might need opinions on some topics.

Is m2sd good for you? If no, why?​

I know there are some users out there that don't like m2sd, please send me your opinion. I always recommended it, but as I got a lot of things sorted out, chances are I could include m2sd or another a2sd script.

Should I include a file explorer?​

CM recently introduced a new file explorer, but I miss a lot of features (but it looks nice :D))

I think SolidExplorer is the best file manager, do you have a preference?

Android 4.2 apps?​

I actually didn't want to modify too much, but the new clock does really look nice and I really like the new keyboard.

I prefer installing it afterwards, you too?
[Desire General] WoH:
-reserved-
[Desire General] jdstrydom:
I prefer xplore but solidexplorer is great overall. Looks nice too
[Desire General] asdfgj69g:
Personally I like Ghostcommander with the samba plugin best. But file explorers are easy to obtain in the Play store. As soon as a one has Play store access after flashing the ROM, one can choose whatever one wants. Aside from that, including it means less space available for app data in /data (when a Hboot is available which has a bigger /data partition).

So my opinion is not to include file explorers.
[Desire General] topgeardave:
Solid explorer is going to expire soon. I've always been an ES File Explorer fan due to the fact it is free.

And I agree with WOH. M2SD is the best script due to it's stability and customisabilitity. Also whilst upgrading the ROM whilst using M2SD I don't have to wipe and re download my apps as only data is on the internal partition with Jelly Hboot from roalex and dalvik + apps are on SD ext. I've been on PA for two week now and I'm yet to encounter a problem due to the way my sd ext is setup.
[Desire General] siavash2death:
I think the miui file explorer is also a good file manager. And a question: in pacman rom, how can i disable the default toggles and use aokp toggle instead? Last version i have is v15 and if i remember correctly,when i disabled the default toggles from system in settings, it disappeared but the space of that remained at top of the notification bar! Like an empty space there. And another question: is it possible to flash and use another kernel for your rom? And for the final thing, ac!d sound engine v1 works great with your rom.but latest version(v4) it got stuck at screen splash and doesn't work. I thought that if you work on that, maybe it work and we had a great rom with a great sound and enjoy the music. And I'm sorry for my bad english.it's not my primary language.:thumbup:
[Desire General] Androidmarketuser:
Please include a file explorer. Sometimes it is really helpful,if you aren't at home and don't have mobile data it is really annoying not having a file explorer.

I backed up important apps for using them if I haven't got a connection to the internet, but it is worthless if I don't have a file explorer preinstalled.

I would prefer CMFilexplorer, worked for me pretty well, for additional features (like SMB or FTP) you can install other FileExplorer.

I would have a go for ES and Solid too, but ES doesn't look that good and with Solid I had some issues with replacing many files in root directory.

And I would appreiate 4.2 apps since they don't make any trouble. Especially the clock widget of 4.1 is horrible. Swyping keyboard isn't bad too ;)
[Desire General] Alunduyn:
For me, the answer is absolutely yes. There should be a File Manager included in any ROM, a basic one to do changes just after the Flash. Many includes OI File Manager. CM's is very nice and very light, putting it by default in the ROM would be great and maybe while flashing GApps you can choose to have Solid Explorer and remove CM File Manager. Still a File Manager in system/app is still a safeboat. If something goes wrong with data partition or sd-ext, where you have Solid Explorer, you can always open CM's ( which is in system/app so always there. If the problem is in system/ having or not a file manager won't help :) ) and search for the wrong file in the partition, maybe choose the files you want to save and move them. Or if Solid Explorer fails you can always open CM's and reinstall it without a connection. So a light file manager is very important in my opinion, and CM's combines lightness and features in a well-designed piece of software.

And another thing just too non-dev to be posted in dev section : the launcher is quite laggy ( Stock, Nova and 4.2 ). I can use apps like Launcher7 to gain smoothness but I lose all the beaties of Android : the widges. Have anyone found anything nice, android-looking ( so similar to Trebuchet, Nova, Apex and all those launchers ) and smooth? The "problem" could be with wallpaper ( I don't use any with Launcher7 ), but an Android Launcher without wallpaper is quite ugly... Thanks in advance people.
[Desire General] zakkkkk:
I'm currently on cm7 hboot and i want to try this rom out. I'm willing to flash the stock hboot question is if i dont like the ROM and if i do a nandroid restore, will my hboot change back to cm7 or stay on stock?
[Desire General] WoH:
Didn't know Solid Explorer wouldn't be free in the future, maybe I'll use cm file manager, but i couldn't figure out how to access the root folder :/

I don't think i should work on this audio engine, maybe ask the creator ;)

And yes, of course you can flash new kernels, but which one would you like to flash?

Nova launcher feels smoother in 2.53, no worries ;)

If you flash stock hboot, the nandroid won't change that, but I doubt you would want to return :D
[Desire General] jdstrydom:
What did you think of holo launcher? Not the HD one though.
[Desire General] pawan1993:
Definitely something you needed :) Now let's hope the dev thread stays clean.

[Desire General] tosonny:
Concerning "Afterwards, go to goo.im/gapps and download the latest gapps installer. Replace the META-INF folder by the new one below."

So I download the gaaps and unzip the file.

The same with your file.

I change the META-INF folder in gaaps and zip the file again ...and install it on the phone

Is this right?
[Desire General] WoH:
Just open both zips and drag the new META-INF and drop it in the gapps.zip, check the pic below (Yes, I'm a pro when it comes to photoshop :D)

http://goo.gl/1IXFp
[Desire General] tosonny:
Does not work. "Installation aborted" when I install gapps. Will download gapps again (is really slow right now) and try it again.

Edit: Tried again. Does NOT work. "Installation aborted" again. Can´t open zip-File (bad)
[Desire General] hello247:
works fine for me on pa v2.52. try re download orginal gapps package again before replace META-INF folder.

I have downloaded it already twice ...this one is right isn´t it: CyanogenMod 10.0.x 4.1.2

20121011

This is from the link: http://goo.im/gapps

Edit: Ha ...do I have to take this one: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
[Desire General] hello247:
yep redownload that as im assuming the one you may of downloaded was invalid. check the md5sum just to be sure
[Desire General] tosonny:
Unfortunately it is awsome slow today. Maybe you can upload it somewhere (dropbox, google-drive or something like that) with the right META-INF folder inside. Would appreciate it.

Edit: 50 min for 33 %

Edit2: Stopped it from pc and downloaded it by goomanager (phone). Now the installation worked.
[Desire General] hello247:
sorry but its taking forever to upload to my dropbox. think you're better off downloading it. just make sure ur md5sum for your downloaded file is correct and just replace the META-INF folder and your good to flash.

EDIT: you can try downloading gapps through goomanger app. as this seems faster. this is how i downloaded the gapps file.
[Desire General] tosonny:
One more question: I thought I have now all google apps on the phone. But there is no gallery oder camera for instance??
[Desire General] hello247:
I have gallery and camera.:confused: Only think I was missing was Google maps and gmail which I installed through play store.
[Desire General] tosonny:
But if you miss also some google-apps I think it doesn´t work yet as planned.
[Desire General] WoH:
It works, gallery, maps and camera aren't officially part of the gapps. Only Google now offline voice recognition doesn't work yet.
[Desire General] tosonny:
Ok, this explains it.

Edit: but anyway now I have enough place on /system to install gallery manually.

Edit2: since my sd-ext was on space-limit I decided to return to the "normal" version of m2sd and gapps. I flashed m2sd again ...later also gapps (aroma) again, but no change. So I had to restore my system ...but this - don´t know why - did not really worked, so I made a full wipe and startet new.

How is the right way to return if you don´t want to have gapps on sd-ext?
[Desire General] Alunduyn:
What about offline dictation? I have the 4.2 keyboard, but I can't find where is the option to download a dictionary, or even the option to choose the offline dictation. I have flashed the lastest GApps JB ( 20121020 ) with WoH's edited METAINF, so I have a lot of links in /system/app and I guess a lot of similar links in lib folders and etc folders and all the folders where the GApps normally write. Still, when I press the mycrophone on the keyboard, the keyboard says "can't connect to Google". Anyone managed to get Offline Dictation working? It is a feature that I'd like to use. I don't have an Internet Mobile Contract so if it is not Offline, I can't get it.
[Desire General] WoH:
It's only en-US at the moment, but that should work.
[Desire General] eexter:
I have a question about system setup process at first start after flash rom.

Google account restore point is placed before wifi setup point. It's not the best way for me (it generates costs of data transmission).

But i remember, in one of previous version, the order of these setup points was inverted, account restore was placed after wifi configuration.

Is it possible to change the order? What it depends on?
[Desire General] topgeardave:
Where can I enable a hot-reboot option if there is such an option?

Is there any htc sense based jb for sensation? Ohh put smart keyboard pro

Its awesome
[Desire General] Alunduyn:
Yep, other languages are not yet avaiable, but I can't get even English offline. I change the keyboard Language to "English" just before pressing the mic key and still it needs network. Is there any way I can get that keeping traces of Italian on my phone or I'll have to select "English" for every option in order to get offline dictation? Thanks for your quick answer.
[Desire General] WoH:
Don't set it up on boot, add it later in the settings. If data is enabled on first boot, Google assumes you've got a data plan

I'm using ROM toolbox pro, but there are free apps aswell. I saw an overlay in EV sources that includes it into the power menu, maybe I'll include that some time.

Works for me on v0.3
