[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yirmel:
Hi to all!

My note is running stock GB XXKL8 and want to upgrade to custom rom (ICS/JB). I cannot use the PC odin since it cannot detect it due to faulty usb port of my note so my only option, FOR NOW , is flash via CWM. (will send it for repair next year). It seems stock recovery cannot flash custom rom because it show signature verification error.

Please advise what to do. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Are you rooted? if not then root using any of the given methods for GB. then you will get CWM. then you can flash any rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yirmel:
I'm not rooted that's why I'm having this problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
There is a way around. Keep in mind that this will install an ics kernels and you phone won't boot normally. But you should have access to recovery. Do at your own risk.

Download the rom file you want to install and download philz kernel ddlr9 zip file. Place the kernel in the ext sd card. Boot into recovery and choose update from ext storage. Browse for the kernel and install it. Once done power off the phone and reboot into recovery again. This time you should see PhilZ CWM. Now you can install the rom you downloaded.

faulty usb port on your Note 1? booo, that's not good.

hopefully it's not your Note 1...have you tried a different PC? Maybe the USB on your PC doesn't connect to your Note very well? (and use the original micro usb wire that came with the box as well.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yirmel:
OK. will try this method. Thanks for your advise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yirmel:
Yes. It's my Note 1.

Already tried it in different PC and use original micro usb wire. No luck.

As the usb is not working, very limited options out there.

I wonder if there is philz kernel for kkl8? maybe that should work to avoid the signature verification error.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Isnt that a GB kernel ? its safe and philz didnot patch it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yirmel:
Yes, it's GB kernel. Even though it's safe for brick bug but don't have root and cwm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
for cwm there are other kernels and supersu.zip and busybox that can be installed to get root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
But not via zip in stock GB recovery. Doesn't Chainfire have an app that uses exynoss exploit to root phone?

Found it! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

Edit: download the app and tap on it to install. You will have full root and then be able to use mobile odin to flash cf-root or abyss kernel. From there you can do wipes and flash ROMs safely. Good luck:thumbup:

hi shoey63, thanks for your tip, I tried the app but it shows error saying my firmware or device not exploitable. It also breaks the camera. Now I cant use my main cam anymore!

Are there no other way?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Hmm,.. best it to flash a stock ICS rom and install philz kernel from recovery and get root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anloid:
how is that possible. if your device isn't exploitable, the program won't even start up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yirmel:
It just show a notification that my device isn't exploitable, so it is weird that my cam was affected after installing it. The installation may have injected some codes or files that makes the camera break. When I open my main cam it shows camera failed. Hope Chainfire can fix this or there is some work around to fix it. Right now I can't even use a PC to reflash it due to my faulty usb port.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
This is a basic HOW TO process to change/edit the status bar icons to add some color (or change icon) to the unbelievably mundane grey icons in the AT&T status bar. I've done this on CleanROM ACE (v3.5 through v4.9) by editing “systemUI.apk” and “framework-res.apk” (res/drawable-xhdpi folders) and dropping custom PNGs into their respective folders. You should have no issue doing this on

any

GNote2 ROM (another forum member confirmed works on Jedi as well). I simply swapped PNGs, using the Open Archive functionality in 7-Zip. If you are just copying images files (PNGs), this zip/open-archive method is easy and quick. There is no need to decompile/recompile the apks… you only need to understand how to use 7-ZIP…. how to open/modify file archives… and use an icon editor. (instructions attached).

If you want to edit or substitute xmls, smali files, you will need to decompile apk, make edits/file drops, then recompile

. You will also need the AndroidManifest.xml and resources.arsc files created from the recompile to move with the other xml changes to a flashable zip

Also attached is a list of icons I changed (including two 7z files you can extract to start your icon modding madness (WiFi, data, phone signal bars, bluetooth, mute, as well as animated GPS, upload, and download) including screenshots of some of these icons, and a step-by-step process if you wish to try this for yourself. I changed 13 icons in framework-res.apk and 22 icons in systemUI.apk. These PNGs are in the res/drawable-xhdpi sub folders.

Open, read, download attachments…. hopefully this helps you customize your status bar icons. If you don't like the color theming... np, just create any color combo you want with your favorite editor (I use "Paint.NET" which is very simple to use). Comments welcome.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] GetPatriotized:
Thanks, anyway to change the clock? I want it blue!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
If you're running CleanROM 3.3, check out Tiffany84's thread in Theme forum... there's a blue theme with center clock mod that's pretty cool. If you go that route, I'd recommend you flash that mod first, then use that systemUI to make your custom PNG changes (otherwise that mod will overwrite your systemUI)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJBBOX:
ok I wanna do just what you described. I want to replace the 4G icons from the international systemui with the 4G LTE icon from the ATT stock status bar. Just the 4G, I still want H+ for HSPA+ and the rest just like they are.

now when I open the Systemui.apk to my surprice all icons are there and even some that I have seen in other ROMs, even for othe devices. Hhow do I make the icons i want active and hide the sotck? just renaming them? and what name should they be? I see that some icon sets start with ics_stat and some with tw_stat. I think the stock start with just stat but I am not sure because there is some LTE icon that start with that as if they were active but does not show in the status bar
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJBBOX:
Dr Evo thanks for the PM. Ok so I'm not on ClearROM, I'm trying to cooke my own ROM with mods I have found around the site for my own use. Is based on the international ROM N7105XXDLL1.

My icon serias is the international, it has the grey numerals with the arrows right under. I don't live close to a non LTE are but when I change the APN to disable LTE I get the H+ icon and so on.

Now I got the ATT 4G LTE icon working by renaming the file, but the arrows are right on top of it and when I try to delete them the Systemui.apk FC on me.

I also used the Systemui.apk for UCLAJ2 the one from The Hybrid Saurom ROM that has the nice circle battery mod but this also has the international icons and the brightness slider does not turn off as I have it turned off on the stock one.

By the way, my daily driver this is what I got so far:

1. 4x5 with wallpaper scrolling Launcher

2. Transparent multiwindow with MWC for all apps

3. Resizable Popup Browser

4. Bravia Engine

5. Ink mod for lockscreen with color choices including red and black

6. Call Recording

7. Perseus Kernel

8. 23 toogles

9. CM10 apps like Apollo player transparent, Soundsearch with history.

10. 4.2 app like DesckClock, and Gallery includes the camera

11. Debloated but kept all SamsungDive aka Remote and S-Pen functionality, and also kept DLNA funtionality as I use this with my TV and such. All tested working

Wish list:

1. Volume skip/back mod for music players

2. Battery circle mod the one Saurom is using goes perfect with the ATT status theme. Is green and changes colors to red when is almost done

3. 4G LTE icon for LTE

4. Ink mod for live wallpaper

5. CRT-off animation

Its verry fast and it does not looses any functionality. I score 2066 on Geekbench with the stock ROM I scored 2094.

OC to CPU 1.8Ghz and GPU 800Mhz I score 2256 on geekbench and 8066 on quadrant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
@ DJBBOX The "in"/"out" arrows you probably want to keep as that does show network traffic while on LTE. The ATT "4G/ LTE" icon (tw_stat_sys_data_connected_lte_att.png) covers two levels (as the "LTE" is below the 4G) so it vying for the same space as the network traffic signal arrows. Here's an option: the attached PNG ("stat_sys_data_connected_lte.png") is just "LTE" in blue... but should allow for the network traffic arrows below as well... so when you are in an LTE area, it will show "LTE" in blue, with arrows below. If that works for you, just rename my attached file ("stat_sys_data_connected_lte.png") to "stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png", and drop it in your systemUI using 7-Zip Open Archive method.

Updated attachments (zip format) for the PNGs... now includes the "4G LTE" icon for AT&T enthusiasts. You can pretty much do what you want... just make sure your custom PNG(s) are the exact same dimension and exact file name as the ones you are replacing in the Open Archive file.

Thanks for the tutorial. Replaced my own lte icon and looking good. Had to make several adjustments to make room for the xfer arrows and prevent them from overlapping so it took a few tries.

I used this method and ninjamorph (market) to compare. I think I prefer the app, especially since it's free, fast, and easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fletchman:
Can you replace the framework.apk in Root Explorer or do you have to flash it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
you can... but you run a higher risk of things going south when messing with live (active) system files. It's always safest to use the 'empty' flashable zip Scott made and drop your files (/system/framework and or /system/app) in appropriate folder.. then flash in recovery (recommend wiping cache/dalvik...then your flashable zip) If you want to push using Root Explorer, I would recommend you first

copy

your active framework-res.apk file to a safe place (external sd). Copy is the operative word... do

NOT

rename, delete, or move an active system file (like framework-res.apk) or you're in for a FC Maelstrom party. After you've safely copied the framework-res file, then move your 'updated' framework-res.apk first to /system folder and fix permissions (rw.r.r).. then move that file to /system/framework and replace the active one. Now reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fletchman:
Thanks for the info! I tried the above and it rebooted automatically as soon as I pasted it and the changes weren't made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
1. do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, I'd suggest the flash method

2. make sure your 'modified' framework-res.apk truly is modified and has the updated pngs (you can tell my the date/time on the file)

3. try the process again... this time make another copy of the last known working framework file (so you will always have an untouched copy if you need it)... and with that copy, follow the OP PDF instructions.

I've done this numerous times and works without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheGrandFinale2001:
Hey, love the icons. I have a question about them. I notice that the icons interfere with the download/upload animation when using the data connection. Did you do something to fix them?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fletchman:
Ok it worked the 2nd time, thanks again! Any idea where the ugly NFC icon is located?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Glad it worked for you. I did a quick search and think I found the NFC icon... it's in the "Nfc.apk" app file (in /system/app), file name: "stat_sys_nfc_on_att.png"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
You need to remove the download and upload icons.

Just make a blank 40x36 pixel .png image in photoshop and replace these three files:

stat_sys_signal_in.png

stat_sys_signal_inout.png

stat_sys_signal_no_inout.png
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheGrandFinale2001:

Sorry for the newb question, but how do you access /system/app from my PC? Or do I email the file to my pc? thanks in advance...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
FYI.... I created a thread which provides a How To on using this process [ 7-Zip > Open Archive ] for 1% battery mod with images. Also discusses how to convert your current SystemUI to a 1% battery mod if you don't already have that logic. Note: to do this, you will need to decompile, drop pngs and the xmls to appropriate folders, recompile, and move appropriate files to orginal SystemUI. Here:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wblteen:
I've got a question for the OP. I am running RootBox nightly 0303. On this and previous versions I can easily change my battery icons but once I change my WiFi icons I get all sorta of problems. The phone boots up like it is a fresh install of the ROM. It wants me to set up my new device. If I pull battery and boot directly into recovery then replace with old systemui everything is fine again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
No idea... I have not used RootBox. Method in OP works on TW Note2 roms (CleanROM) and other forum member have posted success using other roms (such as Jedi). Using method outlined in OP should not introduce new issues since you are basically taking 'your' current systemUI.apk and changing statusbar icons using the zip open archive functionality (i.e., just replacing pngs in the archive..). Hopefully other users familiar with RootBox will chime in to assist you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
All I want is a clock color, is there an easier way to do that then this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sprke:
So just to make sure...I am running a stock rooted ROM. I should still be able to do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
"This" method utilizes the zip open archive functionality in 7-Zip... and simply involves dropping/replacing PNG files. Clock color is not managed by a PNG file... it is controlled by an xml file [tw_status_bar.xml]. To change clock color you have 2 options:

1. flash a theme which includes a clock mod specific to your rom. If your on CleanROM, you can flash one of Tiffany84's color center clock mods. These use the Villain universal theme flasher (VRTHEME) which only replaces the necessary xml in your active systemUI.apk.

2. if you know how (or willing to learn) to decompile / recompile apks, you can do it yourself. Simply edit res/layout/tw_status_bar.xml, and change the hexcode [line 6] to whatever clock color you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Yes... you need to be rooted to copy/replace system files. Also, if you want to flash updated system files via the "empty flashable zip" method, you'll need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM). You'll also need a PC/laptop with 7-zip, and ability to connect phone to PC/laptop to transfer files. If you have these, you will be able to change stock notification (status-bar) icons.

Any luck making animated Status Bar icons?

Has anyone been able to figure out how to create a new animated icon in the status bar? Something not usually animated, that is, not like te battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
by animated... do you mean like the GPS search icon or the Upload / Download animated icons in the upper left statusbar? (those two are managed by multiple pngs in the framework-res). I've also seen certain apps which have animated icons (like Gunthermic's inverted Gmail which dims/brightens in status bar alerted to a new unread email).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ixijimixi:
Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm looking to do. I want to set up, for instance, a tiny router image on the status bar, that would blink a different color depending on the signal strength. Nothing fancy, just easy two frame stuff.

I've found a couple of examples on here talking about how to do it (and one or two device or ROM-specific apks or zips), but everything seems to be back from the days of GB or ICS. It never seems to take, though. I take a CM theme that's working already, and open it in Virtuous Ten Studio. I write (well, modify) the xml file and name it to take the place of the graphic, drop it in drawable, put the animation pngs in their folders (actually in a couple of them, once I started getting annoyed), sign, seal, and install the theme, nothing changes.

Although, most of the poking around I've been doing was in the Systemui.apk, because that's what it looked like those old guides were talking about...
