If you flash this zip file in twrp:

lanchon-repit-20160406-system=same+keep+ext4-data=6+keep+ext4-sdcard=max+keep+vfat-preload=same+keep+ext4-n7000.zip

Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762635999029

You will get a 6gb /data partition for apps and you will not need to reinstall the rom or apps again. (but it is always a good idea to make a backup before...) system=unmodified (means that the partition with the rom will not changed)

data=6gb (means +4gb for apps)

sdcard0=~7gb (means -4gb from the stock size)

preload=unmodified (to make it possible to go back to a stock rom without the need to repartition again) (this partition is not used in the most custom roms. But a stock rom will need it)

With the repit method you can't hardbrick your device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hksaaa:
I got it all,and one more question,can i flash it with philz or i need TWRP.Thanks alot for help !!!!!!!

Been using cm smdk4412 kernel few days, I dont see the difference. 7/17/2016

Today, I felt the battery drain faster and hot then the original kernel. 7/18/2016
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hksaaa:
fixed!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
So what exactly is this instability issue caused by the extra frequency steps?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
It seems that some devices will have stability problems on some frequency steps. Maybe because of the voltage but I don't know the exact reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Manny-:
I'm having problems with the GPS fixing on my location, is anyone else? And is there a fix for this issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hksaaa:
[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] is there any option on this rom for LED touchkey button notification or some trick to enable that ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
No currently not
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hksaaa:
Is there any chance we could get that option in future ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Maybe in the future. But not in the next version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
No recovery mode after flashing to stock rom

Hi All,

My previous installation was the previous Night Owl version. since I need to partition to install latest update as bauner described in his instructions I followed following guild.

Howto Repartition your device and install this Rom: by Savin Vasudevan

Everything went smoothly till step 9. Now I can't access recovery mode by pressing key combos. Even though I can access download mode. Following things I tried.

1. Remove battery for more than 6 hours

2. Reinstall stock rom.

3. Flash Philz touch 6.

Can someone save me?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hksaaa:
Try to flash Night Owl and see if you can acces to recovery .

You can repartition without losing data or instaling new rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The philz kernel comes with a builtin recovery.

So it should be possible to enter the recovery also if only the kernel and no rom is installed.

Are you sure that philz kernel is installed correctly?

Can you boot the stock rom with philz kernel?

If yes you could try to install a terminal emulator from the playstore then open it and type

su
reboot recovery

If this will give you an error it is possible that you also need to install busybox from the playstore
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
Yes. I installed the exact version described in that guide.Booting process doesn't complete (like in boot loop). Only Samsung logo blinks. As I found I need to clean cache to boot successfully. So Can't access google Play store.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

I installed CM12.1 20160619 Kernel only too. But no luck.

I tried to repartition without losing data as in Bauner's guide. But I got a issue to boot into CWM. It always redirects me to Philz touch 6 even I flashed CWM successfully. So I gave up that method.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
I think issue is with partitioning PIT file. May I re-partition using Q1_20110914_16GB.pit ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
????

You wrote earlier that you can't boot into recovery.

How can you install my kernel if you can't boot into recovery?

Philz touch is a recovery...

So what exactly do you mean?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
Installed Philz touch using ODIN.

PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 flashing went successfully but no change.

But when I tried philz_touch_6.48.4-n7000.tar.md5 using ODIN it failed. Just tried this.

<ID:0/009> Initialzation..

<ID:0/009> Complete(Write) operation failed.

and for .img I created .tar.md5 file using a tar tool and flashed. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I did never try to crate a odin package myself using tar...

Because I only use linux and flash the image directly to the partition with heimdall.

Where did you got your philz file which you want to flash???

Normally the most older custom recoveries comes bundled with the kernel and needs to be written as zImage to the kernel partition and not to the recovery partition

You also could try different odin versions from here:

Is this due to wrong PIT file?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Why it will flash recovery.img???

Philz is normally a kernel (zImage) with included recovery.

If nothing will help maybe you should try to flash back a full stock rom with the original pit file.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
Oh. But I downloaded it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 thread. It contains that recovery.img.

I tried with flash back a full stock rom with the original pit file. But still no change.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
And the stock rom will also not boot?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The cm12.1 20160721 Rom is finish as OTA update and manual download

Changes:

* Merged cm changes

* July security patches

* Smdk4412 based kernel

* Removed 13 step cpu table

* Back to aosp webview to fix videos in browser

* Camera hal updates from cm13
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Thanks, i'll dream of you tonight

Edit: [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] same voltage on the frequencies as before the 13-step update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Nearly the same. On 1 table it is 0,005V higher
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Okay then. One more thing though, was the Interactive governor downgraded? I could've sworn there were more tunable parameters, like the target_load.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I have not updated it in the 4412 kernel.

I will do it in the next version
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
Yes. Not booting. I downloaded latest version from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7000/SLK/. Flash it with pit file too. again I tried to flash with old GB stock ROM. It cleaned the cache but it also in boot loop. Won't boot into recovery. It contains zImage too. Is my kernel locked or something?

Latest situation is all philz_touch_XX-n7000.tar.md5 fails. Even I tried PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5. This happened after flashing GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
I thought the Note 1 only had ICS and JB. Try using the XXLT5 JB rom and Philz, flash with the pit file in the old repartition guide
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
another thing. When I flashed back to latest stock ROM N7000DDLSC_N7000ODDLSC_SLK.zip I can't flash Philz touch using ODIN. It fails with giving "ODIN communicator stop working" on Windows 0.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You can try to flash different stock roms with the original pit file and try if one of them will boot.

First you should try only to flash a stock rom without any other kernel/recovery.

If nothing will help you can also try to flash my kernel directly with heimdall

http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

You can extract the boot.img file from one of my rom or kernel zip files and flash it with heimdall to the kernel partition like in the attached screenshot.

But go 100% sure that you flash the boot.img to the kernel partition!

Flashing it with heimdall to the wrong partition can hardbrick your device!

If my kernel is sucessfully flashed with heimdall you will have a working recovery back.

Now do a factory reset in the recovery before you try to flash anything else, because it is possible that you get bootloops with the stock rom because of incompatible data on the /data partition

The first n7000's came with android 2.3.6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chamizA:
Thanks. I tried that several times even with PIT file. :(

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Thank you so much for your continued support on the Note1, Bauner. Left to Samsung's stock, the phone was a mess. Now our old Note1 is a great working low-tech smartphone for my spouse's sister. It apparently even runs PokéGo adequately, which I didn't guess. So thank you.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] himom4:
i get stuck while installing the update at this screen

what should i do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] JerwinSayat:
As far as i know it will normally take time to patch. After how many minutes it is taking? For me it wouldnt take 5mins or more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] himom4:
figured the file that was downloaded from the OTA was corrupt & it ruined the system, i had to restore the backup i had and re-download the update file again, now it's working fine..

thanks for ur reply tho :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SoulSlayer69:
I think OTA Updates app sometimes fails and shows strange behaviour, but it's not rom but app related. It often happens to me that OTA Updates shows "MD5 check successful", I press "Install", phone restart to recovery but it get stucked on some flashing step. So I'm figured out that if I'm not sure of downloaded OTA, I have to download it again and redo MD5 check to get it working:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Yes you are right. Because of this I wrote it also as hint to the changelogs in the ota app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SoulSlayer69:
Yeah, and I think this happens when, during delta-update download, net is switched off because of phone going stand-by/hybernation state.

But I never really did a test about this, def workaround is easy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] husky168:
Hi Bauner, I have been using 20160619 for a while , after upgrade to 20160721 , the battery drain faster, Is that normal? Or my own issues? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Try using the older kernel. I get a faster drain too but with a (HUGE) longer charge time so it might be the battery dying.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I did not see a bigger difference on my device.

As @AutumQueen92 wrote you could try if the older kernel from 20160619 will make a difference.

If you try the older kernel in the current rom please give me some feedback if it will change anything
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
The old kernel is definitely faster and responsive. On latest version unlocking after a long idle will cause lags/systemui crash and general activity feels sluggish. It freezes often too when multitasking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I can confirm that the old kernel was faster.

I think I will go back to my older kernel in the next cm12.1 and cm13 roms.

The 4412 kernel was a test to find out the reason for the hard reboots.

It is hard to find out the exact reason if I can't reproduce it on my device.

But I currently know that this problems come from one of the changes after Jun 12, 2016 from the 4412 kernel which I have also merged into my kernel.

If I can't find the exact reason the next versions will come without the possible related zram, lz4 and lmk changes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
Wifes phone has been freezing when battery low, normally when battery saver is on, but has also happened in last 1/4, as shown on battery icon, before saver is turned on automatically. However I think it's probably in large part due to the fact the battery is very bad, it only gives a little over an hour SOT surfing. I will get a new one this week, hopefully!

But It never used ho freeze on old kernel even when battery low, so I guess it's related.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Anish Prasad:
Can you please help Samsung galaxy core 2 with a cm 12.1 as well...... I can test you're builds on my phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
He's got enough on his plate as it is, plus he needs a device to dev it up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Freezing can be a battery problem. I also had battery related freezes and sleep of death on low battery on my earlier cm12.0 build.

The problem with the current kernel seems to occur on high ram or zram usage and will cause a hard reboot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
OK, I see, so different cause probably, just thought I'd mention in case it helped you find a solution to problem you outline above.

Trebuchet messed up after spontanious reboot

Hi,

My Note 1 with the latest Nightowl 21060721 ROM crashed the other day

while on the charger. Hours before the phone had been trashing when I

used navigation. It must have experienced sever memory pressure.

That is the most likely cause of the crash.

After the crash trebuchet lost its configuration. The home screen is a mess.

Lots of icons missing. I have to rearrange everything all over.

Trebuchet now also switched to large icone (4 in a row).

It used to be 5, which I prefer. However, Trebuchet does not offer

anu configuration options. I can't find out how to switch it to small icons.

Apart from the above trouble the phone works normally.

Regards,

Toon.

No. You describe what should happen, but that's not what I experience on my device.

Check out the screenshots. After pressing the menu butten I get the choice between

backgrounds, widgets and settings. When I select settings, I get the regular Android

settings menu. Not a Trebuchet-specific menu.

Please note that if I switch my phone to the Google Now Launcher, I end up in the

Google Now Launcher settings menu when I follow your steps.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
thanks [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] for the hard work on this ROM for N7000. been using it since 13/4 release. sadly today my Note's power button refuse to work after updating it via OTA.

I've searched the thread and found this post. same problem as mine. so I assume the ROM causes the problem, so I flashed back to stock 4.0.4 via odin as recommended, hoping it would fix the power button problem. and again, sadly. the power button still refuses to work. BUT it wont let my phone shutdown. even after powering off, my phone still tries to reboot. I can't turn it off, unless I viciously(sorry for exaggerating) pull the battery out from the phone. this is more like hardware problem to me, because it happens on stock 4.0.4 as well.

but f it. as long as my Note can run this awesome ROM, I'll keep it on my desk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GT-N7000:
Hi everyone.

I have issue, anyone mention this:

1. Since CM10, Video rec or voice rec, only 1 mic working (bottom), mono. The upper mic, not work.

2. CM12 above, camera or video rec, autofocus not work.

Please try at your N7000, have facing this problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cuneyttekinay:
Don't think about it is hardware problem

Also my power button was is same situation after using for a few month like this one day it began to work properly again and still working very well

I am suspecting something software or electronically locked in device but not hardware related
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The powerbutton itself is a known problem on older n7000.

Other possibilities for such problems can be dirty or oxidized powerswitch, board or usb connector.

First I would try to disassemble the device and clean the switch the board and the usb connector.

You also can try this (but be really carefully!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqBgbN8NLjI

If this will not help you can replace the powerbutton if you have some soldering skills
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Madueri:
hey thanks a lot, but i have some questions,

I got all gapps stopping on micro so i had to choose nano but the appstore is not working and saying i have to have an authentication, is that normal?

and is it possible that the full rom would be available soon?

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
What do you mean with full rom???

There are no known problems with the micro nano or pico gapps.

Did you use one of the gapps from the first post?

To fix your gapp problems the easiest way would be to do a factory reset +format /system +install rom +install gapps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
Hi bauner I just wanted to ask why cant we use opengapps with 12.1 rom?

And if there is no way we can have opengapps working on 12.1 , wanted to request you to please upload a very minimal latest gapps package for everyone. please :)

Also, is the next build with the older (faster) kernel coming real soon? I plan to clean flash 12.1 from 13 ROM so it would be better if I do so with the latest build with the older kernel (as you mentioned the older was faster)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
You can flash the current rom with the older kernel, just download it and flash. Opengapps works on 12.1, using the Pico version right now.

No use asking for an ETA, the new build will come out 3-4 weeks after Google's monthly patch is processed by Cyanogen a week after release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
But the recommended gapps are the older ones in OP?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Yeah recommended, but he did mention that Pico works too because it's small and has the bare minimum to get Android running. Been using it for a year now without problems
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I have recommended the tk gapps in the first post because of some problems with older opengapps versions.

Recent opengapps should also work well but I did not test it myself...
