"Galaxy_Note_n7000_4__6____8gb_data_-_45mb_preload_-_NOT_FOR_STOCK_or_CUSTOM_ROMS_THAT_USE_PRELOA.zip?"

i current installed "n7000 (16gb)_4,6,8,10,12gb.zip" with nightowl rom and then i install the slimbean 2.2. seems boot normally. do i have to install the other .pit which is the preload version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NLS:
Question for you guys.

I have repartitioned my (16GB N7000) system already to 4GB.

Will this affect what kind of gapps I can use from those:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347

...or do gapps go to some other partition that is unaffected?

And since I asked, can I actually use the "full" gapps package in (repartitioned) N7000 or is too storage limited and I have to use "mini"?

Thanks.

Does doing this improves phone performance??? Just asking
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nokiamodeln91:
Ha.. this will let you install more apps..

So what happens when you install a TW rom which has more than 20MB of apps in preload. Many custom roms have symlinked apps. Manually edit the zip? Great for AOSP/CM though... :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maktama:
After flashing 4gb pit file(with custom tar.gz kernel), go to cwm–mount and storage–mount usb storage , windows says something like "format to use bla bla partition". format with default choices, fat32 file system and uncheck fast format. Ta daaa... u have a internalsd :) Don't format mistakenly your external sd(plug out before that).

Thanks a lot! I am backing everything up now and I will try and do it tomorrow in the morning.

EDIT: So I backed all my files up, smses, synced everything and created a nandroid. Then I flashed it in Odin but I also by accident flashed a samsung stock firmware... which of course wanted to probably use about 400MB of that preload partition but it didn't report any errors 0_o. Of course I got a bootloop afterwards (I tried a factory reset - that didn't work so the preload probaly is smaller).

Now I have got all my files back on the device and I will start restoring, I'll update this in about 1h.

Ok thanks! after just odin n7000 16gb variant - 4gb data - 20 pre load - untested.pit only now in cwm in kernel before (AryMod 4.5) use mount and storage-> mount usb storage my pc can format this partition 9,45MB. Now reflash AryMod 4.5!

Thank you so much maktama.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kamy:
I think you are not following what it is said.

AryaMod indeed is using preload folder so you would face some problem. That pit is for non-tw roms or tw roms which got few symlinked apps so that total size mustn't exceed 20 MB. I recommend flashing this pit: n7000 16gb variant - 4gb data.zip if you are on tw rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ShonkUK:
Something i would be interested in

Cache partition = 100M from 200M = -100M

Hidden partition = 1M from 512M = -511M

System partition = 1024M from 852M = +172M

that should recover 439M

recovered space added exactly to the data partition

I would then make an LTC image matching the parition layout that would be odin flashable

and would move anything that is still in hidden to system

Hello everybody,

I'm still new at this customs roms,partition,recovery stuff. So ok i have the n7000 16gb. I liked the Nightowl cm12.1 custom rom. But i didn't know that when i instal a custom rom i can only use 2gb. Then i found this post. I'm like "Hell yeah, need this stuff" so now i have the 12gb partition for the system and that custom rom. The problem is the SD card. The system show the sd card is empty (~29,4gb free space) but i cannot use it. No music is readed from the SD, i cannot use camera(it askes for the SD card). Tryed formating it trough my N7000, didn't work. Tryed connecting to pc. The pc can't read my phone memory. Only the SD card as a mass storage device. Formated like that, still don't work.

You are probably right, if things work for you with your current /system size, it is probably large enough. Also, my partition is way too large, I have 1.3G free, which seems like a waste of space. About apks moving elsewhere when they update, I an not sure, my YouTube and Hangouts apks are still in the system partition and they have probably upgraded to new versions since installation.

I have a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) with 11GB internal storage. I don´t have any SD card that I can extract from my phone. Which PIT file should I use?.

[MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION]

I'm new on this phone (it's my wife's one that needet an lollipop-update), and I gladly found your thread to modify the layout. I do have just one question about it: in the development section of my own phone, a xiaomi mi2s, they offer scripts for two layouts: "separated" (with virtual sd-card) and a so called "unified" layout, where the virtual sd-card and data partition are merged. (You can read more about it here.) The xiaomi Mi2s phone doesn't have an external SD-card, this makes things quite easy. But on this Samsung Note, I am always searching where the right folders might be; on /sdcard0 or on /sdcard1.

Could it be an idea to make a similar approach? As most of the ROMs are looking for partition numbers, the partition for sdcard0 could probably exist with a size of 0kb. And then there would be only one /sdcard left.

But be aware: I am in no way a programmer, nor do I have deeper insights of what actually is happening when I apply these voodoo-scripts, I'm just greatful that people like you share their work. So I have to hope this idea does not sound too stupid.

[MENTION=4880700]medvezhonok[/MENTION]: which file to use depends by your need, but I would just go for 6Gb pit files, it's IMHO the most balanced config for N7000 partitions.

About SlimBean, SlimKat or SlimRoms, seems like N7000 isn't supported anymore from them, apart from SlimSaber that got an update last month. I would suggest you to go for NightOwl CM12.1, atm probably the most fast and stable rom ever for GNote.

I'm just a newbie here, but I can tell you my experience with slimsaber kitkat 4.4.4 on my n7000.

I had latest slimsaber installed on standard partitions, and I used to move apps to an external sd card with link2sd.

I decided to repartition it leaving only 1 gb to internal sd card and thus setting /data to 11 gb.

I used odin + pit + PhilZ, then I installed slimsaber using CWM version embedded in PhilZ and then I installed Raw Kernel that gave me trim support and TWRP.

I didn't flash stock in any way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
I've no idea what you're trying to say, it is recommended to flash stock with the pit file which I did so it's what I'd do.

Hello mr [MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION],

same [MENTION=960832]wustenfuchs[/MENTION] problem here.

Last night blocked on Samsung logo and no chances to reboot in normal way and even in recovery mode,

I was on Nightowl 5.1.1 by bauner and everything was ok.

I was on 6gb pit file

and now I'm trying to use all versions of Odin but everytimt I got red box FAIL.

Is it right that I have primary to only flash the stock pit and then after a GREEN one, I can flash stock 4.1.2 original ROM?

Can you guys help me please?

Thanks!

N7000 STOCK PIT.pit ---> in the PIT Odin window

N7000XXLT9_N7000XXLT3_N7000ITVLT3_HOME.tar.md5 -> in the AP or PDA window

Can you please tell me which ODIN version use to flash?

Step 4 has options. Using stock ROM/kernel is optional. Though I don't know why OP bothered to define 4a and 4b separately.

(I think you should install kernel

after

the ROM. )

I needed one more step. I went from PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1 to 5.15.0, because flashing Aryamod v8 wouldn't take anything lesser. Used the non-preload PIT file (10GB) for Aryamod.

First I accidently used the preload version and I ended up with a crippled Nandroid restore. No access to settings and default apps missing, etc. Thinking my nandroid was bad I tried a clean Aryamod, but the samsung setup wizard would keep crashing. Then I noticed I flashed the wrong PIT file :p.

1) i have been using superbean v1.5 based on 4.1.2. can i repartition without flashing stock rom with pit file ?

which pit file do i need ? i have 16gb version. there are 2 files. one says not for stock or custom roms using preload. what is that ?

2) is it possible to flash only pit file to repartition if i put cm12.1 rom first ???? i don't want to flash stock rom again and re-flash cm12.1 again.

3) if i want to go back to superbean, do i need to repartition to stock size again ?

please help.

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] User_99:
1. Depends what Rom you want to use. TW need preload partition CM not.

2. You must format after repartition and the easiest way is to do this with a stock rom. After that flash CM. So no you cannot only flash pit and CM12.1.

3. Depends again what pit you have used. With changes in preload or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] buzzdr0id:
1. I want to use CM12.1 Lollipop so i need pit file without preload right ?

Hi I am noob in these things. i got a Galaxy Note N7000 rooted with night owl lolipop. I own th 16G version. Howw do I know if I am using a preloader? and out of those 4 zip files whic is the one I need? is it the "	n7000 (16gb)_4,6,8,10,12gb.zip"?

P.S. in the mean time I tried both of the pit files and in both cases the phone did not find the internal storage. So I installed te stock pit again and Im back to normal. Any suggestions in making this work pls? In the odin I just put the pit file. Odin 3.10 is a bit different from the screen shot. Do I need to install the kernel? if yes Night owls kernel is in .zip not .tar is that the same?
