[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi DaedRic,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you... :)

It certainly soundED (and still does) it. When I first read about Philz kernel, I thought that was it, one flash of that and job done... Rest can be done in this.... So wished Philz was a Universal Kernel for all ROMs :) lol Still hats off, it does look rather impressive even still.

1) Ok, so I've got that Philz is only for TW based ROM, thats sunk in... :) So wished it could do all, simples ;) lol

2) True, it is, but I always love to have a little play, nostalgia (spelling, who knows??) and go back once in a while... Did that with the Blade.

3) Same as 2) always like to tinker, see whats out there...

4) I should be fine providing its a TW rom running on Philz, or alternative kernel for CM/AOSP roms..

5) Phewww.... Well, it looks like there are only 3x kernels to choose from so cant go too wrong...?? lol

6) DARN IT!!! :( If only it could...

You threw me when you mentioned CWR, but I assume you mean ClockWork Recovery? (always know it as CWM). I've looked at RAW, COH and NX kernel for anything thats not TW based... Not sure which is the better to use...?? Is there just one of those kernels that will support all GB, ICS, JB roms...?

Thats kinda similar to how I did it on the Blade, although obviously not setup for TW and CM based, as they were all CM based.. But had folders for GB, ICS and JB, and then had a Mods folder... So Ive taken note how you've done it, and started to create the folders, and drop as many files as I can in ready. Such as ROMs, Philz Kernel in the TW folder... But still trying to find a good CM/AOSP kernel... Do I need to use a Kernel if I install any of the Cyanogen ROMs? just as CM7, CM9, CM10 (do they come with their own Kernel or still need to find one?)

Which two kernels do you use, or do you test others out?? Is there some kind of (non TW) Universal one that can be applied to ALL other roms?

I will be picking the phone up in a pub (again), so I will have Philz Recovery done in there, just so I know its done and its safe... However I wont flash any ROMS until I am home, so I know I am safe, I have Internet access should anything go wrong... :( lol... But yes, Prolly play with stock ROM for a little while... I assume if I have Philz Kernel on there anyway (even though its JB based) I can go within Android, Settings, Security, and Reset it... So I loose all the customizations the previous user had, so its like new... So I will play with that for a bit... But then go to PAC ROM after that...

I hope so, it doesnt take me long really to get use to how things work... and with most other things, Im not normally as nervous... Touchpad was a breeze to triple-boot. Just worried with this device, after hearing all the horror stories. But as long as i read and follow, I should be safe... should.... ;) lol... Love the Spiderman quote too ;)

Thank you, you have been really really helpful, certainly gives me confidence to go through the motions that you have so clearly explained... appreciated :D

Oh yes, I did hear about that... and thanks for reminding me!! :) I shall do that in the pub before i forget anything else. I'll back it up to SD and to Cloud, just in case anything happens... thank you..

FX Explorer is a great File Manager, especially when digging around with Root access... :)

Thank you once again :) Im sure it will come clearer once I get it, and play with it more...
