[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxynote2:
I owned this phone since 20 July of 2012 and joined XDA in september. More than 3 Years in the community. The Galaxy Note GT-N7000 was my first Android phone. The first time I saw it was in 2011 in a billboard here in Buenos Aires, for that moment the phone was incredibly huge (and even bigger in that billboard) and I loved it. But it was really expensive and I could not afford it. A year later, the price dropped a bit and was the moment to buy it, and I did. It took 1 week to come to my house. When I first saw the box it was... small. Also the Note was printed at the cover of the box (I thought it was the real size), but then I took the cover apart... HELL THAT'S A HUGE PHONE I said to my family, and they laughed. The phone covered the dimensions of the box, making it minimalistic and in a nice presentation. I remember when I first turned it on, it showed the name of the phone in white letters and a nice, Amoled black that I never saw before (The first time I saw that image was hilarous, now everyone here in XDA fears when the phone tooks more than 10 seconds in that screen due to the eMMC brickbug :eek: ). And the little green android appeared. The camera was amazing, the games I've played were really fluid and really HD sharpness (GTA III, Modern Combat 3, GTA VC, GTA SA, FIFA12, etc) and the screen... the screen was insane, even better than some actual devices. The S-Pen got me a passion for drawing, and now I have my future decided (Going to study Graphic Design in University) thanks to this phone. And then started my flash-a-holic vicious. Started with the ICS leaks and worried (like everyone) to wipe data that triggered the eMMC brickbug in so many Notes.. I still remember the wave of threads starting at "Stuck at GT-N7000 because of wipe data". Until Jelly Bean came up. That was a new life to this phone. It was fast, minimalistic and enhanced thanks to that update (It didn't had nothing to envy to the GSIII or the brand new Note 2). And there was the support for the phone. No further updates, no further support, the phone was going into a slow comma. And here the problems started... The USB board with ghost charge, the camera doesn't focus anymore, the S Pen draws without touching the screen, the battery swelled up...

I was in hurry to upgrade the phone, and I saw the Note 3, but some days later, the Note 4 started to leak... So I waited for it, it was announced, Around 1000 USD for that phone? That was insane!

So I waited, with a slow phone and half of it features without working. But then Android 5 was released, and bauner ported it... Another life to this phone (Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Kitkat and now Lollipop!)

Now the Note 4 is around 700USD and I can afford it so.. it's time to leave my Note now.

They were good times, and I had learned much with this phone. Modifying frameworks, apks, smali codes, themes, flashing roms, developing, testing, failing, testing, failing again.. Now is time to move.

I will miss this community and all the love you people gave to me. The Note 4 is way too different, a higher resolution, a way different processor and, with the inclusion of Knox, it would be harder than the N7000 to make mods for it.

So, that's all. I will be here and there, because I want to test what I didn't tested before with this phone (because it was my primary phone).

Goodbye people, goodbye N7000 community.
