There are a lot of ways to do this. Flash the root injected file using odin. Flash the TW version using odin and use kies to update. you could try going right from CM10 to the JB update.

I was on rooted TW and I updated via Kies, then just flashed cwm, installed super user zip, and updated cwm to the latest version. Everything is working even google wallet following proper installation.

Hey guys, so I really want to get into programming and get good enough for Android Development and such, but I feel like I just don't have the mindset for it. There's kids my age already making apps and stuff, and I'm kinda haulted, having no sense of how I should start. Could anybody please help? Thanks a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] peterdn:
Why do you feel like that? Have you tried any programming before? It can certainly feel daunting to get started, but I reckon it's a skill that pretty much anyone can pick up if they're willing to learn. Some resources you might want to check out:

CodeAcademy.com -- has a couple of nice tutorials to get you started that you can run straight from your web browser

Udacity CS101 -- free online "Introduction to Computer Science" course. Covers a bit of programming in Python as well as some computer science fundamentals

Books/online tutorials -- can be of varying quality and many assume some prior programming experience. Because you mentioned you want to develop for Android, you might want to look at "Java for Dummies" or similar.

Hope that helps!
[General Questions and Answers] wheelsXwilly:
Yeah I went through about 40+ python tutorials on thenewboston, and I took a break because of school, and I didn't contain all the things I learned. So I'm a little discouraged. I'll check your suggestions out, thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] peterdn:
That's normal -- if you don't keep practicing, you'll get rusty. I recently had to brush up on C++ after having not used it for over 6 months. You should pick it up more easily the second time, and you might be surprised at how much you actually remember.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Note II Owners, Developers, & XDA Members:

I briefly mentioned this in another, related thread. However, considering how unique and specific this is, I thought it best to create a thread dedicated to it. Furthermore, I am fully aware of just how counterintuitive this is. As a matter of fact, there was just an article on XDA News this week that discussed doing the exact opposite. So, without further adieu, here's my question.

Has anyone tried flashing an I317 (AT&T Note II) ROM onto an N7100/N7105 with an N7100/N7105 modem? I know it seems counterintuitive, but what if you really wanted an AT&T Note II, complete with all the stupid AT&T crapware, but still wanted an international IMEI? Anybody tried this yet?

Now, before a flood of criticism comes my way, let me save you the trouble. You're right. It makes much more sense to flash an N7100 ROM onto an I317 instead of vice versa. However, there are a few AT&T-specific features that are included in the I317's stock ROM that I would like to explore on my N7100. So if anyone has any experience or good advice to help get me going in the right direction, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this. You have my gratitude.

Thank you,

Ed (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

Also, I welcome anyone who's tried this with one of the other US variant's ROMs too... all except for Verizon.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeDayz:
I want to do this too

AT&T cannot (or WILL NOT) correctly provision unlocked phones so I can't get 4G speeds with my N7100 international Note 2 - haters! But the saleslady told me if I could get it to broadcast to the network as the SGH-i317 it would automatically pick up the 4G network. I have a little flashing experience from my Samsung Captivate, but isn't there a way to go in and change the network settings without rooting?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krwkenn:
I think it would only work with the N7105 since the two phones are pretty much identical hardware wise. That being said, you'd need to grab an SGH-I317 ROM, run it through dsixda's Android Kitchen (making sure to extract the CSC as well during the working folder set up process), then delete modem.bin from the root of the working folder, then build the ROM - that would be the bare minimum required to take an AT&T ROM and make it flashable to an N7105 (because if you flash the modem, you're screwed and will need to restore the proper modem).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buffalo77:
When I was using stock ICS from AT&T with my S3 the call log history on google voice would show the GV connect phone numbers in my call history instead of the phone numbers that I was calling. Can anyone with stock Jelly Bean AT&T tell me if this is still the case with AT&T JB ? This is a deal breaker for me as being able to see actual real phone numbers in the call history is a pretty basic function of the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Scrion:
I'm on stock JB AT&T and am still seeing the GV relay numbers in the Call Log, no change from ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
There's a setting the JB version of Google Voice to show the Voicemail Display could that be off?

I'm looking for the apparantly missing Call settings page for forwarding the calls to GV for transcription......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
Stan more than likely it will fail to forward to GV and you have to set the number manually. Also for voicemail service mine says "My Carrier" but it uses GV. No idea why, but GV works if you put it in manually.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
I must have had a brain fart and forgot that Call Settings moved from the logical Network Settings menu to the sort of forgettable Dialer Settings menu in ics/jb. I really think that it should be in both.

I upgraded using the root injected version from MrRobinson and Odin, that keeps my apps and settings so that I didn't have to reconfigure Google Voice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mailxd:
This is so disappointing. Do you folks think Samsung might fix their buggy ROM on Google Voice call log soon?

If not, what's the best option? I suppose just to go CM10 ? (assuming other stock ROM derivatives might also have this problem?)

If I go CM10 by following the steps listed in the CM GS3 wiki, it will be easy to unroot and relock in case warranty is needed, right? (the wiki had huge warning fonts regarding voiding warranty).

Really hope to know what route you guys take. Google Voice is my only number known to others, and I have to call using that, and the current call log is useless, and this is 2012 with a flagship android phone ....

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
You just have to configure it manually, just like the original rom. Put your Google number into the forward number settings. Even though it will say that My Carrier is the answering service, select Google at least once and Google WILL BE the answer services, and you will get messages transcription in the Google voice app. If you set Google voice to do all calls or ask you how you want to call it will bring up a dialogue box. I don't use the incoming call keypad stuff, but I assume that they would work on a incoming Google call.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mailxd:
GV voicemail actually worked for me, as I initially set it up by using the code provided by GV website. My concern is with the called numbers shown in the call log. They are relay numbers not my contact numbers ..... Never had this with my old Nexus One.. And I see many complaints if you search for "google voice call log numbers, galaxy s3 or galaxy note II". Some claim CM10 fixes this, but would like to get some insight into this before I void the warranty for this .... Why can't Samsung get things right out straight :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buffalo77:
I went back to CM10. AT&T Jelly Bean was awful. I couldn't get over the hideous status bar at the top with Green color and & AT&T spam. Also dialer is complete garbage if you want to use Google Voice. Everything is working for me on CM10 except I have no bass on blue tooth.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
while the phone in the phone's call list IS a routing number, the calls' correct number are recorded in the GV widget's PLACED list. You have to use the new "Show All Labels" to get there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mailxd:
Could you point me to the particular CM10 version you use with ATT GS3? Did you follow the CM wiki direction ? Also, I suppose the route back to stock/lock/unroot is easy in case we need warranty, right?

I don't care ICS/JB... as long as there are no known issues/lags/fcs, and GV voice mail and call log display work as they should (as with N1 in 2010 or even earlier...) --- I can't believe we have to work so hard to get that ...

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cjranucci:
I had to remove voicemail from my phone in the Voice settings page. Then I had to add GV voicemail back to my phone with the forwarding code via GV. Now I am working, though it seems to take a lot of rings to kick to voicemail. Like 10 or so.

O K so i have just flashed Philz Safe Rom XXLRK-XEU from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to my note and everything seems as it should but i am a little confused as to what roms i can apply. Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong place my head is a bit all over the place after reading a lot this morning deciding if it is safe to start rooting/flashing my note, my only previous experience of this was through odin for my sgs2 so i am new to the note scene.

Ideally i would love to put paranoid android on from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662802 but i am cautious that the install logs states not to install this rom from a stock kernal which is pretty much was philz kernal is isnt it ???

if anyone can help a newbie to the note scene out i would be greatly appreciated as i am getting confused going through all the searches i have done this morning

Hope you can helpo - cheers

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
when you flashed Philz Safe Rom XXLRK-XEU.. your note is already rooted now.

This kernel is safe and you can flash the PA rom with no issues. Just follow the procedure in the PA thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kill3rvill3:
Thank you - i will check it out and report back

Is this the case with all roms or just the PA rom, am i to presume that the "safe" kernal is just that and i can go and try out a few roms just as i did with my sgs2 ?

Thanks

KV3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Yes.. but when you flash a new rom, the kernel will change to whats included in the rom. In between if you choose to flash stock ICS again, need to take caution to move to safe kernel again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kill3rvill3:
thanks again for the quick responses - is it best practise to always reflash a safe kernal after the rom has been installed, so in the case of me flashing PA rom i can then reflash Philz safe kernal - i am sure i will get to grips with it all there just seems to be more risks involved with the note / ICS than when i was working with my sgs2

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
No. All custom roms will have a safe kernel in built. Philz won't work with custom roms as it's a stock kernel. Best is hydracore but that does not work with the JB leaks of Samsung TW

In GPS.conf, did removing the below lines help, or they were never there to begin with ?

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

Have ever tried adding this line which I've seen in other threads ?

AGPS=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Are you using another App such as "GPS Status & Toolbox" to pull down the AGPS data ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] melvatron:
Removing it helped better than having it in...

It seems most of the extra gps settings you can put in our gps.conf are more hinderance than help on our devices, I had everything possible in there at one point.

Then began trying different combinations of settings by just adding to the default 4 lines... that SUPL line wasnt one of them.

The intermediate position definitely seems make a difference though, but it has been highlighted before on other threads that the sirfgps.conf is critical to get right also.

I tried to use the three methods in One X forum but none of them worked. Or, better say, I couldn't get to the end of the process: the file is read-only (adb method), the file cannot be overwritten (total commander method) and process failed (cwm method).

Uff.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Ok, Here's what I did (In a nutshell..)

On my ROOTED ICS installation (Dman's Rooted ICS w/ AOKP lockscreen ... ps, I don't recommend this one, get his rooted deodexed WITHOUT aokp lock screen, it's been giving me issues) ... I installed ES Explorer and set it up in the options to allow read/write to System.

I browse to /system/etc opened up gps.conf and sirgps.conf with ES Note Editor

I then removed all the lines for gps.conf ...and ensured it looked exactly as above.

sirgps.conf I made the changes on every line as shown above and left everything else there.

This should be the simplest method... if an absolute step by step with pictures is required I will create a new post for everyone to use.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Kombatant:
The most important thing to edit is SIRFGPS.conf - once that's changed, the phone locks GPS almost immediately. Make sure you have a file manager that can take root privileges, so that you can alter the .conf files in the first place.

Bear in mind that this is a ICS thing; in various JB ROMs I've tried I never had to do any GPS file tinkering.
