Yesterday, my Note just wouldn't connect using WiFi. It is rooted and running the latest Franco kernel (no custom ROM's).. I tried to wipe using built in CWM, reinstall kernel, go back to Version r5 & lots of other potentially solutions by people having the same problem (With another device).
Why is this happening?
Can it be fixed?
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Please go easy on me. I'm not very skilled, but if there IS a solution to this, i'd be forever grateful!
What i have not tried yet,
-Reinstall Busybox,
-switching from WPA to WPA2 on my router
-flash a custom rom
How about a simple idea? Stop using franco's r6 kernel. Although I respect franco's work, the kernel is not IMO a work in progress that never happened... Sleep of Death, pixel salad and wi-fi/network problems plagued the kernel and this is likely to be the root of your problems.
I recommend gavin.lewarne's NoteCore/HydraKernel or hardcore's Speedmod kernel. They are superior in every way from franco's old kernels.
Look in Original Android Development for the threads.
:good:
Thanks man, works amazing!

So i wiped and flashed Hydracore V1, and it works like charm! Thanks man, i don't know how to thank you enough. This was really helpful to me
The kernal is not good for u r phone..it may have some bugs.
Before doing anything
Update busybox to latest version.
Wipe cache but do not format

Ok, I just flashed cyanogenmod 9 with the glitch v14 beta kernel. Amazingly fast and smooth. One problem, my phone doesn't seem to be rooted...Doesn't cm9 and the glitch kernel root your phone automatically? Or did something go wrong?
Can I just use superoneclick to root it now? Or will that screw everything up?

Instead of superoneclick, try to download superuser app from the Market first.

I already have superuser installed, it's just for managing apps that require root, not for rooting itself.
Normallary its rooted now, if you flashed the Glitch Kernel v14

Really? Damn it. You think I should reflash the kernel? If I look at the phone's information the kernel version is icy glitch v14, so it flashed fine I guess.

Hi, i have tested all the Glitch kernels extensivly and they all give me same result sooner or later, sometimes even at first reboot, they go into bootloops and there is NO way to access CWM
I would surely try the newest Devil kernel 14.2 witch is soo awesome and smooth
Had it a couple days now, and NO problems at all
The Devil rocks
Strange stuff. I tried superoneclick, but according to it the phone is already rooted...which isn't the case.
Will try to reflash the kernel with glitch. If that doesn't solve the problem i might try devil.
Guys what it the best kernel for checkrom V6?
I mean.. i want advices BUT why did you made such a choice?
For me it is Franco hands down. Tested v2, v6 and the latest 'test' one (this will become v10 tomorrow or the day after, judging by the users' comments), and all proved to be smooth, fast, stable and easy on the battery on my Note.
I would second Franco kernel also. Been using it since v6 had no problems with lag at all. Battery life with this combination seems good as well.
Now this is a good start
I have been in CF ROOT for XXLC1 but i dunno why i feel the stock kernel is a little bit lagged in menus!
Will try Franco Kernel
Thanks for your replys!

Franco 9.....pure awesomeness !! Best battery backup m getting by using it. Earlier tried Abyss 4.2 but got a high battery drain !
Go for Franco !!!
but doesn't changing the kernel change some supported features in the rom ? like ntfs support for instance ?

Check the changelogs of the kernel you are about to use it will give you all the salient features and changes that it has and can happen!

Hey guys,
Don't wanna seem like jacking the thread, but is it possible to install Vertamus's ICS theme in V6?

Yeah of course! I have it installed on my phone. just go to the inbuilt kitchen (update it to the latest version from google play store) and download the file given there under the themes section. Its version1.1 as of now. And install it in recovery !!
Cheers! Hit thanks if it helped!
I was using stock CF-Root and it was fine, but the battery drain was a bit higher vs V5 CheckROM. Installed Franco and its running great, 1.5% Per Hour idle.
was using checkrom v6 with Franco's test kernel. Seems like its draining battery more than stock. Gonna verify it over the nxt few days by using stock
Also on Franco test kernel.
Also on franco kernel v9, works like a charm. Good battery life but no as good as CheckROM v5 & franco v6
For me Franco kernel cause constant sods.
I keep trying a newer versions and still same issue. This problem doesn't occur for me on other kernels

Yeah for some of the users Franco gives sods or screen salad issue - pixelated screen while other kernels work fine for them! Thankfully works fine for me

Hi guys,
So I read the threads that warn us about the bricking problem from official XXLPY. And they also told us to flash another safe kernel right away to avoid anything bad happen. But I could not find anything about which kernel is safe to use with this rom (except some said to flash GB kernel, and I assume they don't work with ICS?). So I'm wondering if anyone please guide me to a kernel that is usable with XXLPY (how to guide would be preferred ?
I do not know too much about kernels so all I'm trying to do is to stay away from bricking and get CWM to run on my ICS note.
Thank you very much in advance,
Anyone?

The new SpeedMod and Franco kernels MIGHT be safe. Time will tell.

The new franco r3 kernel might be safe as franco has disabled the emmc erase bug
Thank you guys, I just flashed franco r3 kernel. Could not tell if the problem was fixed, but now i'm left with a non-wifi galaxy note everytome i try to connect it just stays at "obtaining IP address...". And I found out that some others are aloso having the same problem as I do. Hoping for some help here cause I can't flash speedmod kernel (Idid but after reboot it's still Franco??? )
Use static IP address and it will work.

I could successfully flashed speedmod k3 using odin PC (don't know why mobile Odin did not work) and my wifi is working again, this kernel also disabled the emmc erase bug so I think I'm all good for now. Thanks anyway
CF root LPF works with me...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Im using franco kernel on LPY, fast kernel and without the eMMC superbrick bug.
does it have root?
I am using ICS LPF, since changed to Franco Kernel, I cannot connect to the WIFI network.
Anyone can help, thanks
Try the workaround in one post of the kernel thread for franco.Kernel.
A lot of people have problems with Wifi in this kernel.
Maybe this workaround will help you. Or you might change back to your original kernel.
Try to change it but doesn't work. Now going back to Abyss Kernel.
Reflash the modem - it worked with Franco for me. Check the sticky post for Modems and download and flash the one that suits your ROM.

Abyss Kernel? Works only with GB ROMs.
You'll have to choose one of the kernels for ICS.
I am using 4.04 with the Speedmod kernel. I was wondering what others were using with 4.04 and why.
has been, have been and will be using..... speedmod........safe and battery life helper dependable always and throughout..... I dont' care about any other kernel e.g. Notecore and such... all i care is that my phone's batt to last me day and half... and it sure is can deliver.. make no mistake about it....

+1 :good:
Notecore is a kernel for performance.
I'm using Notecore e Speedmod alternately, testing new versions when they came out :good:
I've been sticking with NoteCore OC since V3...it's a great kernel and whilst it's a performance kernel, it provides good battery life...I'd say that I'm a moderate user (much texting (100messages a day), approx. 5-10 calls, 1h of music, 1h of gaming, 1,5h of browsing/other stuff) and i get 1,5 to 2 days...can't complain [I'm also using TW-Roms since I loathe google (yeah, I know...) and S Planner is the only good organizer imho]

OK, I am intrigued. Why will the Franco Kernel be so much better (and yes, I did read the Franco kernel thread.) I am looking for observations. What would you expect to see from his beyond the Speedmod or Notecore? What do you mean by "monster"?
I am also interested to note that no one mentioned the CF-Root Kernel. Chainfire is one of the most trusted developers here and I thought I would see someone using his kernel. Is there someone out there using CF-Root with 4.04 that can comment? (yes I have read the thread). I would like your observations on why you went with that kernel, especially when there are reported issues with wifi.
Goku here. Great battery life, performance is also good and everything works which is not the case with the other custom kernel. For example on most custom kernels my security software does not work (gdata mobile security). If only funky had not removed all the governors that were available in previous versions. But no product without some disadvantages.

The problem with cf-root is the fact that cf does not alter the kernel which means it still contains the brick bug. Not in cwm but for example when you reset your device to factory defaults. And since he does not add anything else than cwm his kernels also suffer from the deep sleep problem and all other glitches that come with the stock rom and kernel.

I did flash the Notecore STD and so far I am a little more impressed. Too soon to tell yet, but I did have some small issues that at the moment I am not seeing. Stability is most important for me. I will report further. If the CF-Root still has the bug then no I won't be flashing it. I thought I read that 5.6 fixed that bug but no, it really wasn't so CF-root is off my list for the moment. But I am open to hearing more about the new Franco kernel. Thanks for all the feedback.

Chainfire fixed the bug in cwm. But since he does not alter the kernel itself it still contains the bug and can trigger it if you do a fatory reset. So we could say it's half fixed
I have to say that so far my phone has been rock solid with the Notecore v.13 kernel (Standard, not the OC version). Not a single issue and not a single lockup. It is still a little early to say definitively that there are no issues, but so far I have to say that for me this is a definite keeper over the Speedmod k3-13. With Speedmod I had a few hiccups, just little things, and a few lockups, none of which I have seen with the Notecore kernel. And no, I won't be trying the OC kernel. I am not wishing to push the envelope. But this is an excellent kernel. Too early to really compare the battery life but I haven't observed anything really bad and I am a very heavy user, so count me a happy camper.
Edit: I may have spoken too quickly about not trying the Notecore OC. I have read some amazing claims of battery life with the OC version. After I have a good record of stability with the Standard kernel then I think I will try the OC. I can always go back.
AOKP - Asylm BBRQ3
TW - Notecore 13 Standard.
I'm on speedmod myself with just root but I've not installed any Rome yet but I have to say my battery life is much better. I hope when I install a ron it stays this way....
