R: [Q] GT-N7000 Stock ITV Jelly Bean, Philz Or Hydracore?

Nice dude :D

Glad it worked! If I can give you a personal advice:

Install speedmod kernel (actual is k5-1) using odin, download triangle away (actual should be 2.75.. Search it here on xda, by chainfire) install it and use it to remove the yellow alert triangle at the boot time (please read carefully how to use that apk). Now you got a safe kernel, root permissions and very good performance / stability. Ofc if you do that, you "temporarily" will lose the warranty (cuz of the root and the custom kernel). If you don't want, just keep your note as it is now :)

Regards!

I will keep that in mind... But i want to install CM10.1 in mi N7000, my cousin(he has a Galaxy S3 with Philz 4.88.5 and CM10.1) he recommended it to me... I really want the performance/interface given by CyanoGen Mod...

What do you think? Will CM10.1 + Philz Recovery give me a remarkable efficiency that i'm looking for?

Will you recommend my Hydracore Kernel?

R: [Q] GT-N7000 Stock ITV Jelly Bean, Philz Or Hydracore?

You can't use philz kernel (I'm talking about our galaxy note at least) on any other rom than a Touchwiz based. So unfortunately you can't use it on cm10.1 :/

When I used a cm based, usually I kept the original cm kernel, Btw some of new kernels on xda are interesting! So maybe just try them :D

For now I'm on ultimate rom, and I'm planning to switch to another one soon (I'm flasholic...)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarianoQT:
Really? Maybe i read wrong ! But there is written that Philz 4.88.5 supports CM10.1 and GT-N7000...

Read This thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002953

Someone in http://www.Taringa.net recommended me to use Crash Rom with Philz kernel ! And not only one person did that !

What Do You Think? I'm very confused about Android(Kernel/Rom/Recovery)...

PD: I really miss my iPod Touch 4g ! :p iOS it's heaven for me hahahaha

R: [Q] GT-N7000 Stock ITV Jelly Bean, Philz Or Hydracore?

But dude, that topic is about the galaxy s3 (i9300) and talking about a custom recovery (with few words, the menu from where you install new roms or wipe your note) and not about a kernel. Plus, Dev Crash left our note community some months ago, and his last rom is a jb leak rom Samsung, so I don't recommend you to install it. It's too much old now. Btw, if you wanna some advice about all this story (kernel recovery and other maybe) I advice you to:

First search for some already opened thread, and if you will not any answer to your questions, open a new thread :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarianoQT:
Auch ! Sorry man ! I had a confusion !

But if you read the Thread there says that it's compatible with N7000... So, i can install Philz 4.88.5 Recovery on my Note !

Reading in the web i found a tutorial of the CM10.1 Official for N7000, i think i will use this ROM in my Note ! What do you think? Any advice?

In the page of CM i found the tutorial... I can't put the link here...

I'm think i will install... CM10.1 4.2.2(Nightly) ROM + Philz 4.88.5 Recovery ! Will this work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Philz kernels only work with Samsung TW roms and no other roms. CM10 has its on kernel or other kernels based on them like DH
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarianoQT:
I said Philz Recovery... With CM10.1 ROM and Kernel !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
which Philz recovery are you referring to ? Temp one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarianoQT:
Philz 4.88.5 Touch CWM 6.0.3.0.... Why?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadhil3536:
Dont you read? Phil touch recovery + stock kernel is only for touchwiz rom a.k.a stock rom. No cm9 no cm10 or cm10.1. If im not mistaken speedmod kernel is using phil recovery but no touch features it also for stock touchwiz rom. Correct if im wrong
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altanole:

Hi

my XDA is Model NO.: PW10A1

I have seen on someones signature that they have upgraded their Model No. to PW10B1?? What exactly does this mean?

Cheers
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] nigebj:
Identifies whether it is European/Asian or US. A is 900/1800 (I believe), B is 900/1900. So you cannot upgrade from one to the other.

Hopefully the XDAII will be C - tri-band!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] R_J_Webb:
Ahh i see

cheers
[Xperia Z General] jonnyaztec:
Over the past week or two. All I have seen is people destroying the Z for a lot of things from the screen to the camera and the battery.

So why don't we talk about what we like about our Z's, as at this point in time I feel a little of buyers remorse :(

So what do I like, not based on other's reviews just my own experience :)

Screen - I do actually like the screen, when I had the phone in my hand, head down walking around sitting it's a great screen compared to my Nexus 4 it may not be as saturated but I can definitely tell it is a higher res screen, stuff does look beautiful , even people who have the IP5 etc have said to me wow its a nice display (not even know it had the issues with saturation). Only when I lay down in bed and put my phone on my bed do I notice the angle issues but its not a pain.

Camera - The camera is a pretty decent in low light I have found, compared to my N4 it seems to get a lot more out of an image in terms of low light, the BE engine does do a lot to an image too. It may not be pin sharp but the images are most certainly 100% usable for FB/Instagram - Sending around the web etc. After all for me that's all I do :D

Speed - No issues, blazing fast. I don't do a lot of gaming, mainly e-mails, twitter, instagram. Using a lot of camera based app when I'm on a set. It boots up quickly, nice smooth transitions, only a little bit of slow loading when I open the camera app. But in terms of bench marks, it's miles ahead of my n4 and sgs III.

I love the design, so much better than my SGS III, which was a great phone it was built to take drops, but it is nice to have a sexy phone in my hands! It's the first phone I pulled out and someone asked me what it was because it looked cool :D

Launcher - Very nice and simple it kinda stock androidish which I like very minimalistic to a certain extent (looking forward to 4.2.2) I do still have a soft spot for Touch Wiz but it's nice to change it up!

Updates ? - Not 100% sure about this but I thought I would bring it up, it seems sony is helping the community alot, and you guys seem like your doing alot of work on the device so hopefully I will at least get the next major update for android some time this year or next year (4.3 or 5.0)

Overall for what I use it for I dout I could tell a difference between the S4 and the Z apart from the screen as my SGS III seems super saturated in comparison to the N4 and Z.

What do you guys think, why do you love your Z :D ? Go Zeeee :D
[Xperia Z General] jimsey:
The camera is my favourite feature, it knocks the socks off my old note 2 and my wife's galaxy s3, indoor pics actually look great.

hdr mode video and the ability to take stills while filming is also really cool.

I also like it's looks, it's minimalist, sleek and turns heads.

Also goes without saying, it's waterproof, which having dropped 2 expensive phone in water in the past, gives me some piece of mind, though I haven't tested the water resistance yet!
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I love the phone, most of the screen chatter IMO is mostly rubbish, two different SZ I have seen were fine as good as any other LCD I have seen for off angle fall off of colours. Everyone I have showed the phone have been wowed by the screen (Samsung,HTC,Nokia & Iphone), it is also very good outside in bright light. This screen is better than any 3 of my HTC phones by a long shot.

The phone is fast and snappy, should be stunning on Linux 3.6, hopefully this comes very soon. The navigation, install, launching of applications I have previously run, again blows away any of my other phones.

Very elegant looking phone, nice design lines, I got the white model . It is pretty light this was my biggest surprise. The power/lock button location is in a fantastic position, the position on most other phones has caused me to loose grip on the phone and drop them on occasion.

I love the throw feature, where I can select My TV, Laptops to display my photos or play my phones contents, and then I can also send the media from any of these devices back to play on the phone, it works great, will be better once they fix the wifi issue.

5 inch in car GPS running Sygic, yeah that rocks!!!

The ability to play Playstation games is pretty cool, although I haven’t tried.

For me one of the best things is being able to back up your entire phone, and sync pretty much everything to your computer, something HTC does not have, nor does most other phone vendors.

Sound quality for audio playback through Walkman app is stunning through my beats headset, no digital encoding artifacts, custom EQ, all the instruments and voices are clearly reproduced, very little hissing noise if any. All of these things mentioned here, are far superior to the HTC Sensation XE, the first phone with Beats Audio.

Having root already just rocks, thanks guys for providing this method Goroh_kun, Bin4ry, Team FreeXperia

I just tried taking pics under water by XZ, it was fantastic.

Also I can't live without walkman.

Tech.radar on viewing angles:

"The only thing that lets it down is viewing angles - if you look at the Sony Xperia Z's screen, dead on, it's sharp enough. If you look at it from the side, it has a strange ability to look incredibly washed out. It's no huge problem though - unless you like to look at things side on. In which case, see a doctor."

LoL! Totally agree! :D
[Xperia Z General] noj78:
The only very small thing that really annoys me is the 4x4 grid.

A display of this size and quality could be 6x5.

Everything else is spot on. Display is awesome, sound is superb, phone is fast and smooth at everything I throw at it.

And it looks great!
[Xperia Z General] MafiaManV:
All good here . Still under impression how much faster this thing is than my XS . Loving almost everything about it . We got bug free OS , amazing speed , great camera, great screen , lovely build quality ,battery life above my expectations,fast development by users ..etc. Sound with stock headphones is good ,but connect it with sennheiser ie8 and they give almost perfect combo. The only letdown is loudspeaker ,but i can easily live with that one :)
[Xperia Z General] paalkr:
If you don't like the 4x4 grid I'd recommend installing a third party launcher, I prefer the Apex one.
[Xperia Z General] ianford10:
Think this phone is fantastic.

Buid quality is one of the best I've ever felt on a phone.

The screen is top notch and all those moaning about viewing angles really are disturbed in my opinion. I look at my screen as intended, straight on, not look at it tilted or from the side, I never understood why you would.

The fact I can text in the shower or bath and not have to worry is great. I also had issues in the past with other devices letting dust in under the screen (HTC I'm looking at you), with this phone no need to worry.

Camera suits me for my needs.

Speed of the phone is never an issue, not had any lags or anything, smooth as butter. I know we have the SGS4 being released soon but do we really need octa core processors? Quad core is not even fully utilized so to have octa core just seems silly in my opinion.

Anyway love the phone and think it's a gem :)
[Xperia Z General] marcgear:
I have got nothing but good things to say about this handset. Great screen, great camera, loads of other great features. The only thing for me to be improved is battery life but it's far from bad it's just not good
[Xperia Z General] Montague:
A phone is a personal device, as long as it looks beautiful in terms if it's design and makes you stand out from the others when you holding your phone, I think it is already doing its job!

Not to mention the Z is one of the top spec devices for now.
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
The screen is the best...the screen is calibrated perfectly for true colours...just compared a same photo on the iphone 5's retina display and there were no difference...just switch the bravia engine off and look...i dont why every reviews say the display is not good while when reading the iphone 5 reviews they say its the best display in the market.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

And the camera is fantadtic in day light or good light...just in indoors the detail is little less but no ugly at all...it performs toe to toe with the iphone 5 in indoor photos in amount of detail..
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Thanks, got myself a new signature:p
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
water resistance!!!
[Xperia Z General] samxool:
battery life is awful.

still can't get past the 3.5hour on screen time!
[Xperia Z General] Raedek:
Sv: Lets give some praise to the Z

Had the Z for 24 hours. Love everything about it. Just got to adjust to the size, coming from a iphone 4s. Battery is great, all things considered. Got 5 hours screen time on first cycle. And it wasn't Even fully charged. 83% I think
[Xperia Z General] pongnamu:
Let's go around the whole XDA forum and encourage people to buy Xperia Z :)
[Xperia Z General] casserly:
I have to say, Ive just tried the Z and am just loving it. Was waiting for the s4 announcement to decide but im def going for the z now. Just a bloody gorgeous device.
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Just for those who say that lack of oleophobic coating is a deal breaker - who needs oleophobic coating when you can just put your phone under the tap and rinse it with water - clean as new :)
[Xperia Z General] Crazy CS:
I don't know why so many people are having a go at the battery. I held both the XZ and the HTC One up, both screens look fantastic and have similar viewing angle issues, can get to around 40 degrees before the words start to get a bit blurry on both screens.
[Xperia Z General] AcoAlex:
Yesterday i switched from Note 2 to SZ... All i can say I'm so happy i tried the Note 2 for this sexy beast :cool: + the Note 2 was 4 months old & SZ, well, one day :D

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z General] ziich:
The exynos 5 octa in the sgs4 is more like a dual quad core chipset. One processor for power (quad core cortex a15 ) and one for low power I usage to save battery (quad core cortex a7)
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
I'm loving my Z now i've got over some teething problems. Battery life i'm getting is 4.5 hours screen on time at 75% brightness and around 24 hours standby. It's lovely and fast, stylish and aside from losing the Sony branding when I foolishly took off the factory fitted screen protectors i'm more than happy with the phone.
[Xperia Z General] noj78:
Yes I've tried Apex and Nova but then I miss the Sonyness of the Sony launcher, if you know what I mean.

I'm just saying Sony launcher with 6x5 grid would be perfect!!

Still think the phone is awesome!!!
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
Viewing angles, really people? Yes you do tilt your phone for certain games but common, which lunatic would otherwise look at the phone from a different angle than upfront? It's ridiculous to bash a phone for having bad or not so good viewing angles. As long everything is fairly visible with direct sunlight everything is OK, no? Unlike the Galaxy S4, Sony really changed it's design and put some effort into creating a new and stylish phone. Premium materials are being used, I'm not certain which glass since I've seen speculations about XZ either using CGG and or Dragontrail glass. The power button is astonishing and overall one of the best looking phones around with some pretty impressive specs. Personally I don't use the speakers but can understand if this is an issue for certain people, yet, the reason why is fair and if not liking it, they made a nice alternative by launching the ZL. The flaps might be annoying but that as well is fairly quickly fixed by either purchasing a docking station and Bluetooth headsets/NFC speakers. By the way, there are as well many non water-resistant pones which use flaps to cover the Micro USB port.

I can't comment about laginess, performance or speed since I don't own the phone yet but looking at the specs it should be able to handle everything quite well. No phone has more than 2 GB Ram at the moment and 1.5 GHZ quad-core processor is certainly not outdated yet either. I think anyone who isn't an iPhone or Samsung sheep and fanboy must admit Sony made a pretty decent phone and that the big 3 (HTC, Samsung, Apple) should become big 4 since Sony has become a serious competitor with it's latest releases.
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Dude, can't you read. Obviously you are a bit of a winner
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Ok just got the Xperia Z...and i am loving it! What was the whole commotion about the screen..its vivid and bright and i only see washed colors at extreme angles! I guess i am one of the lucky ones to get a better screen? Dont know...Also another point if u convert sounds into high db then the xperia Z sounds as good as a Samsung NOte..Efficient enough!

But the beauty is the whole design and build quality..Kudos to Sony for this! And on top of it developer scene :)
[Xperia Z General] stiffi2011:
Couild you elaborate on this? I have a Note 2, and I'm struggling to justify trading it in for the Z or even ZL. It's all about price right now. If I could trade straight up I would but I'm having trouble justifying spending more on the Z. The camera is my most important feature. Is the Z really that much better than the Note 2? I thought I read it was almost the same, if not the Note 2 really was better?
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
Good to hear. I just the love the speed of this device. So much faster than my XS.
[Xperia Z General] samxool:
its an awesom phone.

even the sony apps and tweaks that sony have made to android makes it better than vanilla android and shows they spent a long time thinking about it.

awesome phone is awesome.

until you take battery life into consideration.

with web browsing, you might get more than 4 hours on screen time.

with watching videos, about 3.5 hours on screen time.

doing something demanding like real racing 3, prob more like under 3 hours on screen time.

I'm investing in an external battery.

i cannot see any other way around it.
[Xperia Z General] Vertron:
The viewing angles is a feature. Only you can see the screen and no one else.
[Xperia Z General] Montague:
The view angle doesn't bother me at all, as I guess no one tilt their phones like that when they use their phone. Or I wouldn't want anyone sitting next to me to see me doing text messaging. Sure it will just be a bonus though if it has a nice viewing angle. But even it has it, again I won't be using my phone is such a weird angle.
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
Indeed.

I have no idea why so many reviews mention 'viewing angle'. Its a phone, who is going to look at it side ways? May as well mark it down as when it's in the car and we are in the house we can't see the screen! Not talking TV here? Like you I see the privacy issue as a positive.
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
Some people have to find something wrong with XZ.

It's a compliment really if they have to create new issues.

Since when was viewing angles on a phone so important. Lol.

It's not like we have to get up off the lounge and walk up to the screen and adjust it.

Can't wait to get mine.
[Xperia Z General] xX NeOnShK Xx:
waterproof!!

The xperia z survived a drop in boiling hot soup!!! This lady here kept it in for almost 30 secs and the after taking it out the phone ran as if nothing happened!!! Now that's quality!!
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Look the majority of the people who go around attacking the Z are iPhone and HTC fanboys. Especially the HTC crowd, it's just a sign of their desperation. They know HTC is running out of time and they're doing all the they can to rubbish other brands. The same will happen to the GS4. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, these tech sites don't have the influence many of them think they have. Phones are sold on the shop floor and by the networks and so far so good, the Zs doing very well. That's all that counts and not what haters have to say.
[Xperia Z General] brutal_noise:
XZ is great ! The only thing I can complain is the lack of loudness from the original speakers..but HTC doesn't even provide their users with handsfree! And sadly there aren't much cooked roms to choose from ...yet. Everything else is brilliant ! Love the Z :victory:
[Xperia Z General] juDGEY2k10:
Dont understand about the viewing angels, i can see it right no matter what way you tilt it. :confused:
[Xperia Z General] oranglewat:
I was considering the S4 and the One before buying this phone. I was an Optimus x2 user and need to upgrade to a phone with these criteria:

- Last a whole day with the 3G turned on

- 5 inch

- 2 gigs of Ram (I only had around 384 MB of ram in the optimus 2 DX)

- Has Jellybean or above (Project butter!)

- And a memory expansion slot (Because I already have a micro sd from my previous phone)

These are pretty subjective criteria. But, it had to be one because I find all three phone has the same spec (Mostly) and should perform with negligible difference.

Now the last criteria made the HTC One out of my selection which leaves the S4 and Xperia Z.

Now, seriously, when you look at it, between the S4 and Xperia Z, which one is the sexier phone?

It was a pretty easy choice for me.
[Xperia Z General] azeter:
zzzzzz............. all the way
