[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiCrucher:
Hi everyone,

I just bought a new

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100

Android OS v.4.1.2

Kernel Version 3.0.31 - 679347

The Seller told me that it is an unlocked version (accepted in Europe and America for the operators).

I started the device and installed all the recommended updates.

The problem for me is that there is a lot of annoying Apps such as Samsung Apps, Flipboard, Chat On, Group Cast, etc.. and i want to remove them. But I cant!

My question is : Can I have a clean Android OS JB without all those optional Apps (you know just like a cleanWindows 7 OS without all the optional applications that come with an HP for example) and how do I install it (redirect me if necessary).

Thanks for your attention.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Root your phone (plenty of methods here on xda) and either delete the with a file explorer from /system/app, or is titanium backup to freeze them.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonbloom:
The apps you are talking about are called "System Apps". As they're built into the System by Samsung and can't be removed that easily (as you have encountered). Normal apps that you install yourself are "User apps" or "Non-system apps", and they can easily be uninstalled.

To remove system apps you'll need to root your device.

You have a N7100, so that is the 3G version. Not the one with 4G/LTE. Be very careful not to use anything that was made for the 4G/LTE version (called N7105) on your device, as it can go very very wrong and leave you with a dead phone.

Please try and read around a bit on these forums, there are a lot of posts containing the exact information that you need. A lot of guides and such to help you.

I will give you +points for posting in the right forum and posting some information and doing it nicely :)

What is base Rom:

The ROM which is Developed For your Mobile.. (like Aurora, CM7,...)

What is Port Rom:

The Rom Which you want to port to your Device... (like frozenpika,...)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Is it backwards compatible too? Regular to pro?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
Yes, of course. From the U8800 U8800pro and vice versa.

Have you ported any Roms from u8800 pro yourself. If so, please share with us:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
Sorry. I'm very busy now with my ROM Mlora...

Maybe someone can try it! ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Is this correct?

We made all these changes to base rom, edit build.prop and updater_script of BASE ROM, and then we must zip and flash the PORT ROM folder?

Yes. Thanks for correct.

Which ROM did you port?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
I tried port CM9 for u8800 but now I'm waiting for Blefish's CM10.1. He said (on his twitter) that he'll release first preview next week.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] forumber2:
And It worked?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
Yes. It worked but I formatted disk and I go back to Windows8. So ROM is removed.

tried to port paranoid android from galaxy s2 to u8800 but it is stuck in bootloop
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
You must port a ROM from a phone that has the same CPU as yours. So, I think HTC Desire HD has the same CPU as ours. Not sure. Need to double check HTC Desire HD. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iead_20:
can i port from 1 GHZ cpu phone ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
I think you can, but you need to make sure that the phone you are porting from has ARMv7 processor/CPU. After that, it is up to you to port the ROM! :)

By the way, I am going to try and port PACman ROM, so please port some other ROM. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iead_20:
pac rom is combination of paranoid android and Aokp (android open kang project) and cyanogenmod

and paranoid is just paranoid android so what phone are you planing to port from ? i think i will port from an 2011 xperia phone or nexus s
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
I've already ported the ROM from our brother phone: u8800 pro. :)

Unfortunately, the ROM is not booting up yet. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iead_20:
yesterday i ported the PAC rom from nexus s 4g to our u8800 not u8800pro but its not booting up

i took the files in etc/permissions and copied paranoid folder and copied set-perm in updater-scripet and replaced framework and apps and media and fonts but nothing any help
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
I know how you feel :(

I am also stuck on bootanimation...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
You have to edit the framework.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iead_20:
how ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
Logcat
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
Lol. I am using ilyaaa299's CM10.1 ROM as my base, and it looks like I will have to enable it somehow. But, I don't know how to do this :(

This is harder than working from source. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
Porting is not hard. Try using the original framework folder and tell me if the ROM boots.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
OK, I will try it tomorrow, because I am going to sleep :D

But, why would I use the original framework? PACman ROM needs its own framework, because it is totally different from the one in the original CM10.1.

Thanks for the suggestion though. Will try it after coming back from school tomorrow.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
You don't understand. If your ROM boots with the old framework and not with the new one that means that the problem is in framework and a log cat will show you what parts in framework you have to edit to make the new framework working. That's to learn where the problem of booting is. Make sure you change only the framework and nothing else.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iead_20:
if you are that pro can you try to port it to our phone (u8800 no pro)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
OK, I have replaced the framework folder with the original one.

Now, I get three things stopping and not working:

- System UI

- com.android.phone

- Trebuchet

And, I cannot even get logcat...but I think I can enable logcat through build.prop. I'l try it.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

OK. I have just checked build.prop and I can see that adb is enabled.

Must be something wrong in the boot image (why did you do this ilyaaa299?). I hate extracting the boot image of this ROM, because it extracts to the root directory of my computer. Then I have to find the boot image files again and place them back.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iead_20:
that's some good news
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
Give me a link for the ROM you want and I will port it for the u8800.

Sent with my Huawei S4 running Android 5.0.1 KLP
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
That's alright. There is no need for you to waist your time :D

I will try to make this ROM work, and if I have any problems I will ask you.

Thanks. :)

My home button the the galaxy s2 stoped working after I used it to play music while jogging. I kept it between my skin and pants and some sweat slipped through that fine groove that surrounds the home button (yuk i know). Will a replacement of the home button do the trick? I'm asking because the repair guy told me that there's a high probability for the screen to break while doing the replacement.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, replacing it will make it work.

If the repair person knows what he is doing the replacement has nothing to do with the screen and will not cause the screen to break, it is a seperate component.
