[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVerze:
Hi everyone,

I'm new to this community (as well as these activities i.e. flashing, modding etc..), but i have been following up on threads and topics for about 2 months..

i was obsessed with changing my N8000's OS, and I've found here a lot of Mods and stuff like Cyanogen Mod and OmniRom and others

but i decided to try out Ubuntu.

So far, i have found 2 main topics about installing Ubuntu on N8000, first one by mamenyaka about Ubuntu touch, and the other is X-Stranger's about Ubuntu (the PC version I Guess..),

However, i have a bunch of questions regarding installation and features, so please be patient with my n00bness! and Thanks in Advance...

(if this thread gets solved, I think it can perhaps be used as a "newbie FAQs")

1st of all i have a note 10.1 N8000 running stock JB , and I have about 3.5 GB free

These Questions are based upon procedures and infos in mamenyanka's thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2168999

1- Should i upgrade to 4.4.x KK or should i keep JB? (recommendations?)

2- Do i have to have Cyanogen Mod installed on My device in order to install Ubuntu?

3- Do i have to Root the Device?

4- Can i Dual Boot this or install on SD?

5- Sound doesnt Work? u mean speakers aint detected? can it be usable if i plug the headphones?

6- Cellular Radio doesnt work? u mean no Calls/SMS?

7- What about Play store and its Apps?

8- Does this Ubuntu support WINE?

9- Does this Ubuntu detect other devices like BT keyboard or USB Flashes?

10- What is the best Tool for Backing up? (my device is untouched since buying i.e. didnt do any kind of Modding)

11- Does the backup save my entire data (Apps,games,savegames,notes,contacts,gallery,sounds etc.)

12- What is the chance of my device getting bricked?

And these questions are based upon X-Stranger's Thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2554959

1- What kind of ubuntu is this?

2- Should i upgrade to 4.4.x KK or should i keep JB? (recommendations?)

3- Can i DualBoot this or install on SD?

4- Does the sound work here?

5- 3G doesnt work? u mean no Calls/SMS?

6- What about Play store and its Apps?

7- Does this Ubuntu support WINE?

8- Does this Ubuntu detect other devices like BT keyboard or USB Flashes?

9- What is the recovery.img file, what is the custom and the native recovery.img, and what does the "menus" stand for?

10- What is the chance of my device getting bricked?

A Yes/No answer would be enough for most of these questions..

Thanks Again :)

Hello,

I am having problems with the phone app, I had the same problem on AOKP Rom which is why I moved over to AICP which is awesome btw :) When I call someone my handset screen switches off and becomes unresponsive meaning I can't unlock the screen to do things like use the dial pad or switch on speaker. When I have hands free plugged in I can unlock the phone but the phone app is unresponsive meaning I can see all the buttons and the contacts picture but can't use the dial pad, mute the call or switch on speaker. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 jflte on aicp_jflte_kitkat-5.0-NIGHTLY-20140901 but the problem has been ongoing.

I would have posted this to the ROMs dev thread here on XDA but I need more than 10 posts to discuss in a dev thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jondgls80:
Does anyone know who the maintainer is of the AICP nightly on jflte?

I think I'll just keep updating to the nightly until I find a release where whatever is broken I don't need lol

Can I flash this rom without rooting the phone via Odin. can l flash it directly from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 using the rom above? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
Hello all,

Just to announce I RTFM but my brain is maybe broken and I'm a little scared, so i'd rather like to ask before screaming like a baby :D

So my case:

My device: GP 4.0 YP-G1 Europe(INTL) stock ROM 2.3.6 and kernel stock 2.6.35.7-etc

I was lurking the developement on the galaxy player for 2 years and i decided to install the custom rom Cyanogen mod by Zaclimon.

So today, I read a lot, follow the steps for the specific rom:

-installed android-sdk, adb, rooted to save my efs(~6.25Mo) and when i was on the recovery(the basic one i guess) to flash the .zip, it screens "E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)

Installation aborted."

But i have > 5 GB space (so it's not the problem)

So i tried to find a solution with Odin/Heimdall but i can't put on the pda field the zip rom 'cause zip it's not the good extension. I tried to find a solution to have a custom recovery, but i'm not sure if it's the good idea, because in the tutorial by Zaclimon, it's written "from stock do 1,2,3 bla bla"

So now I'm blocked and i would like to flash this device to thanks your works and use it as it should be from the beginning :cool:

So it would be nice if someone could help me ^^

PS: Sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Did you flashed a custom kernel (terrasilent, klin) prior flashing the rom? You need to have CWM installed on the device so you can install CM11.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
here you can find a list of kernels and roms and stuff. look for the kernel that is compatible with your device and make sure it has clockworkmod. then you can flash that with odin. then when your boot into recovery it will be clockworkmod recovery :good:

it's a good idea ;) you should have one

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] and Austin68: Thank you for your fast responses. And nop, i didn't install a custom kernel, because i thought that stock = base device with no change or only root, but yeah i will find infos & install a kernel, moreover all infos are recent ? Don't wanna brick it with oldies tutos :D

Back in few hours, going to flash it after the work, see you and thank's again :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
All the info written are recent don't worry about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
I can cry now :crying:

My device seems to be bricked, I know that it can be repaired but more time wasted for you and me :(

So my steps to fuc* the process:

-I chose the terrasilent 1.3-5 kernel, flash it with Odin with Auto-Reboot and F. Reset time.

So the device worked good, booted to recovery try to find the cyanogenmod 11 zip in the sdcard, but the file recovery doesn't show me anything unless the external sdcard, so i rebooted 2-3 times, but always the same.

-So my brillant idea ... was to re-flash it with the re-partition box checked this time and BOOOM, FAIL + icon like a phone --- /!\ ---- PC on the GP

So please, now you can help the 100% broken brain.

Can't wait for your responses and help :)

PS: I have my efs.rfs
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
Seems like you bricked your player but their is no need to fear. Go to the Samsung thread where all ROMs mods and kernels are located and look for rjs kernel 14 Odin. Then download and go to Odin, then where it Say's PDA put that kernel there and flash and you should be in cwm 5.0.2.7 recovery. I bricked my galaxy player about 3 times so this should work. Also if you have a nandroid backup you can restore that only if its gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
Thank you for the response, but I can't enable the download mode. I'm gonna read carefully and wait help before playing with my device(YP-G1 4.0 INTL) anf get a worst situation.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
If you used re-partition, you will most likely need to flash the full recovery stock rom for the 4.0 Intl models here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850

When you'll flash it, you can then re-partition and it should return to normal. This mode you have is a sort of "forced" download mode. Don't worry about flashing stuff into it with Odin.

Don't make him flash anything that isn't made for his device. ;) He has a YP-G1 which is a galaxy player 4.0 whereas rj's kernel is made for the galaxy player 5.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
Oops I forgot rjs kernel was for 5.0 sorry man
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
[MENTION=5904514]troy5890[/MENTION]: No problem ;)
[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION]: Thanks a lot, it works :D

Device with a 2.3.6 rooted, so later I will have to know where is my error to not reproduce it (do i have to enable re-partition when flashing with the terrasilent kernel or not) and if it was good or not the first time, why i didn't see in the recovery file manager the zip to install the ROM :confused:

But now, going to bed (1:30 AM). See you later and thanks again :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
1. Good to see that it is working again.

2. You have to NOT check the re-partition case when you flash terrasilent.

3. Did the cm zip was in the internal storage? The /sdcard partition is often (if not always) recognized as the internal storage and not the actual SD card storage.

Also [MENTION=5904514]troy5890[/MENTION] don't worry about it, you wanted to help so it's already better than some so would just skip that one. :)

Thanks dude really appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
I don't have any SD external card, but I knew that i have to set the zip in the "basic device storage".

To recall the process after my work:

1-flash the rooted stock rom 2.3.6 installed with terrasilent 1.3.5 with Odin with the re-partition UN-checked(like yesterday)

2-copy past the zip cyanogen mod 11 by zaclimon with my usb-PC connexion on the root of the storage card.

3-boot in to the CWM recovery

4-go to the "choose zip from sdcard’" line and choose the zip.

The step 4 was my problem yesterday(didn't see any files)

So do i need between the step like the 1st one and the second to wipe data/cache/Dalvik or it was only a bug yesterday ???

Thanks you for reading and help me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It's not normal that you can't see any file when you go into flash zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard. Hmm what does it shows when you press it? Maybe with a picture it could be more representative.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Aymen74:
Okaaaaaaaaaaaay, flash it right now

I'm on your ROM zaclimon, so happy to test and play with it.

Thank you really for your big works (because i follow your work on the GP for 2 years and i saw what the community and you have done:D)

hey guys!

Whether it be with ODIN 3.9 to the existing firmware G900FXXU1ANG2 suddenly to flash all three new file BL_G900FXXu1ANG9.tar.md5, kernel_G900FXXu1ANG9.tar.md5 and CP_G900FXXu1ANG8.tar.md5!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
What is your question?

It isn't clear what you are asking. The best way to update with Odin is to flash the update, which typically goes in the AP (older versions: PDA) line. The update may or may not update the bootloader or modem in addition to system file changes. It depends of course on what the update pertains to.

[ONE General] Lei M:
Some nightlies ago, call recording feature was introduced in CM11.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/69850/

For legal reasons, this isn't enabled by default.

To enable it, edit build.prop and reboot.

persist.call_recording.enabled=true
persist.call_recording.src=4

You will get a recording button while in a call. Playback of records can be done in call history.

Please report if it works.

Notice that it will work only for newer ROMs (mostly nightlies)
[ONE General] SpursM:
it's work on cm11s?
[ONE General] Lei M:
not tried, would say not yet

as I see only in CM11 nightlies until now.

In the next releases the feature should be integrated in CM11 stable and then CM11S.

note that I have not tried yet as I am currently not on nightly.

Feel free to look whether the properties exist ;)
[ONE General] SpursM:
that's great news

i thought Cyanoge will not bring this feature coz it's illegal in some countries
[ONE General] Dusty Rhodes:
I'm on 33R and I tried it... it did nothing. I made one call and saw no additional options, and I received a call with the same result.
[ONE General] Dzhedaj:
I'm on the latest nightly build 0902, adding those lines to build.prop did nothing, no call record button appears.
[ONE General] Lei M:
thank u vry much for ur reports !

tomorrow i will take a closer look whether it is already implemented in this rom ;)

strange... on some/many other devices it already works. would be good if the properties would already be there without having to add them.

are the added properties still there after rebooting?

will try myself tomorrow :D
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Of course it did nothing. It's only just been merged into recent

nightlies

[ONE General] mcbyte_it:
There are 2 xposed modules to enable this feature without the 2 lines above, doing so on CM11S will do nothing, and you will see in xposed log an error that it was not successful, which is logical because this has not been integrated in CM11S (and i guess it will not, as most of the countries were OnePlus is sold prohibit call recording).

on CM11 builds after nightly 14/08 it will show an extra button.

so...

- If you are using CM11S (the official OnePlus ROM), this will NOT work

- If you are using CM11 monthly (currently M9), this will NOT work

- If you are using CM11 nightly after 20140814, this will show the extra button, will it work? i haven't tried recording.. yet ;)
[ONE General] Dzhedaj:
The values stayed there after a reboot...

Too bad xposed is required, I don't use it and this feature would definitely not justify installing it.
[ONE General] Lei M:
Sept 2nd buid doesn't have the properties in it.

But I can't test any further cause I don't have this phone any more (sold it^^ too big)

Be warned, if the person on the other end is in some states or countries, recording them without consent is illegal.

Guys will the OnePlus have call recording built in eventually so an app isn't needed?
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Most likely not officially because it's illegal in many countries.

[ONE General] valexi:
Is it possible to use some hack to enable call recording in 38R, as it is build after 20140814?
[ONE General] haimn:
Yes, you can do it easily by installing the Xposed module RecEnabler
[ONE General] souljaboy:
You dont need xposed module.

You need what OP edited, and call record program. You can find it here on xda. It will work fine with caf root methood, select bacon(!) not oneplus from list or you will have distortion. This is for nighly.
[ONE General] boldbeast:
Users confirmed Boldbeast call Recorder works very well for CM11 on many phones, for example

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-g...corder-galaxy-htc-t2923904/page3#post57087069

Boldbeast call Recorder works perfectly for the stock One Plus One ROM (need root), I guess the app works also for CM11 on One Plus One. Can anyone please test it? Thanks.
[ONE General] kaibosh99:
Recording phone calls is NOT illegal. What is illegal is using that information for personal gain without the other parties' consent. It is similar to the way slander charges work, and very complicated.
[ONE General] rockingondrums:
Also, on the cm nightlies, the call record feature sucks. At least, it did when I used it about a month ago. You can't hear the other party. There is a workaround: put the call on speakerphone when you begin recording.

What works very well for me:

1) I installed the Xposed framework

2) I installed and enabled the EnableCMCallRecording module (Xposed)

3) I added the two lines mentioned to the build.prop using rootexplorer

I have the button on the dialer now and the quality of the recording (both sides) is very good.

I am running the stock cyanogen (44; latest ota)

(I have flashed the franco kernel)
[ONE General] frankvdb:
I tried first the solution rpolansky provided. Without success (at least no buttons showed up).

Next I tried galeej solution. Works for me as well. It could be because I strill have EnableCMCallRecording installed.
[ONE General] jjletho67:
With both CM11 native call recording function and with all the app from the appstore i have tried i'm experiencing a weak quality of the other party recorded voice. It's too loud and crackly. Anyone of you have had this problem ?

I'm using the Boldbeast Call Recorder and it works just fine. My OpO (CM 11.0 XNPH44S) is rooted and the recording mode is set to MODE 21 (root).

This does the trick for me too. Xposed + build.prop edits.
