hi guYs !

on SGY phone, all of internal storage can be hexdumped (dd'ed) using this block device:

find attached the specs of SGY NAND-memory chip "oneNAND".

Linux-based NAND Flash software solution, offering higher performance and cost effectiveness for next-generation mobile phones. Samsung's Linux NAND Flash memory software allows the NAND Flash memory to store code as well as data. By eliminating the need for NOR Flash memory and supporting the Linux operating system with a demand-paging function, Samsung can lower overall costs and reduce space requirements in mobile handhelds.

Samsung's Linux file system, Robust File System (RFS), also offers greater data preservation capabilities in case of power disruption as well as wear-leveling for higher reliability. To address the problem of data loss from corrupted file allocation tables (FAT), Samsung's Linux-based NAND Flash memory solution also supports Transactional FAT for external memory cards. Compared to the conventional JFFS2 and YAFFS open file systems, Samsung's Linux file system enhances the NAND Flash write-speed up ten and four times , respectively.

This Flash memory solution is also available with Samsung's OneNAND (tm) Flash memory, which boasts a faster read speed compared to the conventional NAND Flash. With its advanced multi-tasking function, Linux will further accelerate the adoption of NAND Flash in next-generation mobile phones.

Importantly, as Samsung's new Linux NAND Flash memory software, RFS has completed verification in the Linux kernel 2.4.20-based Montavista Linux environment, Samsung's NAND Flash solution addresses the diverse needs of system developers for advanced performance, high reliability, shortened development time, asf.

with linux-mtd, SGY users can easily have "mobile ODIN" as well as "heimdall" open source flashing software, beause open sourced "mtd-linux" supports the SGY phones's memory electrical chip component named "oneNAND" !

this research thread aims at dissussing "mobile ODIN" using mtd-linux.

MTD is the standard Linux way of accessing flash.

Samsung (maybe) says they have some new kind of OneNAND flash memory for which MTD is inappropriate, and for that they provide BML.

BML is a low-level interface.

On top of BML they provide STL which is slightly less low-level but doesn't seem to give any information about the boot partitions, only the filesystem ones.

RFS is the filesystem (an optimized journaling VFAT) that runs on top of STL.

bml1 132kB - "primary boot loader"

bml2 1284kB - "secondary boot loader" - loads the kernel and also supports a "download mode" in which it can talk to a PC using Odin protocol via a virtual serial port (USB). Should be a plausible last resort in most bricking scenarios.

1. Does zips for flashing made for CWM recovery compatible with TWRP and vice versa?

2. When i made backup (with TWRP) and try to copy him to computer windows explorer cant see him (even with hidden files turned on)

But when i look over FTPDroid i can see backup files and able to copy them.

Why ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:

.Win is actually a backup filetype, but never seen it in terms of Android.

I would try to make a backup with TiBackup or ROM Toolbox or MyBackup

Try one of those and the filetype output should be a correct backup format.

I am using my dear little Infinity as a word manager at school which works somewhat good. I wish that Google Drive worked better with the browsers tho, maybe it will work better in the future :)

Back to the main question, to print documents I have to use it from a computer at school which in general means I have to save it in Word doc format. Sofar I find that OfficeSuite works best but it is usually a big difference how it formats the page compared to Word on the computers at school. Do you have any tips for minimizing this, like a better working Word app for Android or such?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
Currently it's Textmaker from Softmaker - it's the only one that holds Word formatting and you can just import fonts from Windows. The UI takes a bit of getting used to, though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I quite like smart office.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hobs0n:
Ok, Ill try that when I get a bit more cash :) Kinda irritating that I bought OfficeSuite about a month ago before I asked this question... =)

EDIT: Is SoftMakers Presentations good too? Because its the same with the Presentations with all the different Office packs Ive tried, they simply dont work good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
for words, i generally use officesuite pro.

but for powerpoint, i like quickoffice better.

the other choice you have is kingsoft office, but i never tried it. many people say it's pretty good.

i think it's more of personal preferences rather than the software it self.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
I use OfficeSuite Pro 6 but find that it's choppy with a simple Word document. Anyone else experience this? Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm using Dropbox to keep documents synced, but I doubt it. Feature wise though, OP6 seems pretty nice, never had an issue aside from performance. Doesn't seem to slow down on my X2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
Softmaker's PP is pretty good - it keeps most formatting and it allows for animations. Not so good for creating PPs,
[Asus Transformer TF700] hobs0n:
Thanx for your tips but as I said, none other than TextMaker seems to keep the format which is the most important part for me :) Hopefully they will fix that in the future tho :) And I spent the money for TextMaker yesterday =) And as you said, not the best gui...

[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I've fond that a mixture works best for me.

For Spreadsheets, I find that my old, tried, tested and true Docs2Go works best, for both viewing existing spreadsheets and for adding new data. I bought D2G a long time ago when they put it on an absurd sale price.

For Word docs, it's a toss up, bit it seems like Kingsoft is edging out the competition. QuickOffice is a very close second. I got the Pro version of QO via Amazon Market place when they had it on sale for free.

For PPTs, well, I haven't found anything that is fool proof, other than a laptop running Windows XP+ and M$ Office 2007+.

On my Infinity, I've got like 5 suites installed to try to test this out (it's funny seeing 2 rows of icons asking me which program I want to open .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files every time lol).

Here's to wishing that CloudON was working on the Infinity - problem solved, from what I hear.

I'm almost tempted to start using my RDP Client and using my home beast to do all of this stuff....sheesh.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hobs0n:
Thanx again all for the tips and replys but I have already decided, TextMaker is the only one thats interesting because the other ones have too much difference in formating :)

I use textmaker out of all programs including quickoffice HD and kingsoft, and that is the only one that keeps up with my typing speed, and seems to have the most functionality and ease of use, as well as a built in spell check, that once downloaded and installed works amazingly.

It's fairly cheap too.

Sold my N7000 to get this...

I am a true smartphone user, heavily multitasking, my main reason for upgrading was the extra RAM and CPU.

But the lack of a working PA ROM (and a combination of lack of time and experience to make it work) makes the negatives bigger than the positives.

The first note was amazing.

The second note, even more amazing, but lacking support, wait for now, because you barely notice the upgrade.

[Galaxy Note II General] brooon:
This is definitely a matter of taste, as MOST of the Note 2 owners do agree with each other, that the TW build on the Note 2 makes it unnecessary to switch to PA oder any other CM derivate. It is just near perfection and brings a HELL of useful features. I can´t stand the fact the people are ditching e.g. the multiwindow feature for per-app-density.

The Note 2 is perfect as it is, what is even also the reason for MANY "livelong XDA flashers" to ROOT (!) their phones!

I owned both and the Note 2 is just WAY better in every sense! No comparison :)
[Galaxy Note II General] andrawer:
I switched yesterday from the Original Note (ON) and thus far I am VERY happy. My ON was running CM10 stable and i had used all the other JB roms so the Note2 Jelly Bean interface is familiar. There are a few quirks with the Note2 but it's just a matter of me getting used to it.

I really like

1) the smaller width..not much but makes a lot of difference for myself,

2) I actually like and use the snote apps which were missed on my ON so this is great. I love the popup note app when you remove the s pen

3) smoothness of operation,

4) the many features and options such as the warning given when I left the stylus laying around.

5) blinking notifications

6) quick access to apps via the lockscreen (yes I know custom ROMS or widgetlocker can do the same but I thought it's a nice STOCK feature)

7) etc., etc.

8) Oh yeah, Battery life is phenomenal in my first day, especially considering how much I've been playing with it...GPS, Bluetooth, couple phone calls, etc., etc. Again, another nice surprise for me.

My biggest surprise is that I realized today that I am very likely to leave my Note2 unrooted and on the stock rom!! I feel the NOTE2 runs that good. I simply "disabled" most of the unwanted ATT apps that I could via applications manager...seems to do the trick.

Dislike

1) I was surprised Touchwiz is very usable EXCEPT it's a 4x4 grid?!? Oh well I use GO launcher OR Nova anyway so that's really not an issue.

2) I will have to get used to the physical center button but am sure I will adopt over time.

It's not a given that you should switch since the ON is very nice but I was glad I did.

I was on the note 1 for about 10 months, on n1, i had to flash cm10 for smoothness as tw was always laggy in some way(but also lost some tw features), but after trying n2 instore, i bought it. It could run so smooth now on tw (with jb) i don't think i need to use cm10 for quite a while
[Galaxy Note II General] shohratshankar:
Good question

My wife has a note 1 & I just bought the Note2.

The primary difference is in how Smooth the N2 is; however, this will get negated once the N1 gets the JB update next month.

So if you can wait a month the new JB update is slated to bring many of the N2 features to the N1.

I would say wait and in the meanwhile use a ROM if the speed bugs you :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
There are other negatives for some of us, i run a dual sim adapter on my note & have done for many years on my phones, the "cut type" are the best & take up no extra space.
