[Q] New Galaxy Note ! How should I start for Custom Rom? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I'm not a new one here, before I had a lovely Motorola Defy with 4.0.4 CyanogenMod . ( Sorry for my bad English )
Now this change from Motorola to Samsung it's a little bit different .
I'm a little bit worried because before this Note, I had another one and I've hard-bricked it trying to flash RocketRom ( I've made a fullwipe, bad kernel and root with CWM .. Idiot, yes, I know :cyclops: ( stuck at factoryfs .. :cyclops: )
That's the reason why I started this topic because now I want to be sure about everything I do . I DON'T HAVE WARRANTY AND I CAN'T REPLACE IT AGAIN !
So .. what I want ?
1. Root
2. CWM STABLE / Adevanced recovery
3. Kernel Stable ( to be able to full data wipe, factory reset )
4. PARANDROID ROM or ROCKETROM ( Last versions )
5. Maybe a little overclock , maybe . I'm not sure now, deppends how fast will be my Note after another Rom .
Now I should tell you my Note info :
GT-N7000 ( United Kingdom, Carphone Warehouse )
Android Vers 4.0.4 STOCK NOROOT
Baseband Vers N7000XXLRK
Kernel Vers [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 16 20:50:37 KST 2012
Build Number
IMM76D.XXLRK
Someone can explain we every step I need to do before .. I don't want to brick it again !
I've tried to find some info in Dev but too many info and I'm stuck, I really don't know exactly what should I do .
Please help me, thx a lot ! Andrew .

hi
sorry for what happend to your first Note ...
for a safe root/kernel/CWM ,I advise you this kernel
HYDRACORE:
- have the eMMC_erase-safe diseabled ,so it is safe to do wipes
- CWM 6.0.x safe
- root your note will be rooted when you flash this kernel
- work with all rom types (TWstock , AOSP ,AOKP ,CM) so rocketrom and paranoid works on this kernel
- have to versions one O.C at 1600Mhz and a STD version no O.C
- and more features I can't list it ...
you can see all this on the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
thanx lord-ralf-adolf

Alright, thank you man , seems to be a good one, but I'm a little bit confused how to do it cuz' I'm coming from STOCK ICS 4.0.4 , no root, no mod, nothing .. I need someone to explain me here ( if someone want ) .. anyway, thank you.
I'm waiting also for another opinion .

You will have CWM with safe kernel. Now you can do wipes as much as you want. Nothing to worry. After that flash any rom and start rocking your device.

Alright , thank you so much guys
One more question :
If I want to root , can I use this mod ?
1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !
And then , flash hydracore , and after that parandroid ? Thx

Yes but when you are you rooted your device , you must install Mobile Odin and then Flash HydraCore kernel (to avoid yellow triangle), then you are safe.
My way is little diferent but also safe. If you want, you can folow this steps (no need to root).
You said that you are on xxlrk so i sugest this steps.
First download PhilZ kernel for xxlrk from here (choose right kernel for your xxlrk rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Then download a HydraCore kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
And then download your favorite rom and put it all on your internal sd card.
1. Now go into stock recovery VolUp+home+power. Now you are in stock recovery - Never do wipes in that recovery!!!
2. Flash PhilZ kernel (because you can install this kernel from stock recovery) - select "apply update from external storage", choose PhilZ kernel and wait untill its done. Then reboot your device, wait until its booted up and go again into recovery volup+home+power.
3. Now if you see different recovery (not the black-blue one) you are good. This recovery has a grey background, and that is a CWM6 on a safe kernel. You are safe to do all the wipes but there is no need to do it now, yust folow next steps.
- Note: I sugested these first three steps because you dont need root and dont need use mobile odin or PC odin. Maybe it sounds complicated but it isnt.
4. Now when you are in recovery and seeing diferent new CWM6 from step 3. You can flash HydraCore kernel (install zip from sd card)... and wait for message installing hydracore kernel is complete.
5. Go in advance and reboot recovery. Now there is no difference in recovery but you are now on HydraCore kernel. From that point you are safe to do all wipes and flash any rom you want (PhilZ kernel is only for TW roms, also safe to do all wipes)
6. To be sure that you are on HydraCore kernel you can reboot your device and go into settings > about and check that you are on HydraCore.
7. Go into recovery again , do all three wipes(cache, data and dalvik cache) and you are ready to flash your new rom. Just to make sure, read installig instruction in OP of rom you want to flash!
From now on, when you want to flash a new rom, always check on which kernel you are. My advice is when you want to flash for example Paranoid from RocketRom yust make sure you are on HydraCore kernel (if you are not, first flash Hydracore) and then flash your new rom. HydraCore kernels made flashing easier because it is one kernel for all roms.
Dont forget hit thanks button to all devs that make your flashing experience easier
Hope that helps!
If you want, you can wait untill someone confirm that my steps is right. Or someone has better suggestion. Untill that, search forum, and read, there is a lot of similar question.
But dont worry, i flashed it that way, from stock TW 4.0.4. and never had a problem :good:

Thank you man, so much . I'm done . I've installed hydracore ( checked in about phone ) .
But now I want to ask something :
- For RocketRom v11 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838 )
following this steps :
a) coming from a rooted GB-ROM:
- download Abyss Kernel 4.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
- put zip-file on your USB-storage
- boot in Recovery
- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
- boot back in recovery!!! (you find this option under 'advanced')
- FullWipe
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
- ...you are done
I really need to Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2 ? Because now I've Hydracore v5.4.
- For Parandroid , which one :
(1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698
(2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838
What means that cuz I don't understand very clear " Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! " . I'm safe to continue with hydracore v5.4 ?
Thank you and sorry for stress with me

to root just flash the hydracore kernel via odin pc ,then delete the yelow triangle by using "triangle away - use the search bouton ). it is the safest way

Flashing abyss on advise by rocketrom, is for u to be on safe kernel to do full wipe before flashing the Rom.Can
But.. U r on hydracore, mate.
No need to flash abyss alrd, hydra is safe to full wipe.
Sent from my GT-N7000 at the corner of this rounded earth.

Ok now you are on stock xxlrk with HydraCore.
From that point if you want try RocketRom:
1. Reboot recovery (VolUp+Home+Power)
2. You are now in new shiny CWM6 recovery (with grey background, if not, something is wrong dont do wipes, but i assume everything is ok, just a safety check)
3. Now you are safe to do all three wipes (wipe cache,data and dalvik cache)
4. "Install zip from SD card" choose rocket rom, select install
5. Sit back, relax and enjoy
Now you are on rocketrom. Rocketrom also came with hydracore kernel, so if you want try paranoid you are safe to flash. Just check in about phone, that you are on safe kernel (safety check).
Installing procedure is almost the same. I have never installed paranoid, but installed some others CM10 based roms,so i will just copy/paste installiing instructions from OP.
1. You are on hydracore? yes. Now reboot recovery.
2. Full wipe (cache, data, dalvik cache)
3. Install Rom
4. Install possible bug fixes (look out for "FIX" or "BUGFIX" prefixes and make sure the build number matches your rom)
5. Install GApps
6. Wipe cache / dalvik cache
7. Reboot
8. Enjoy

Thank you guys, almost done ! I'm so happy now !

hi,
I'm in the same situation that EvoEndless, and i think i will try to flash hydracore and a new rom tonight, after searching and reading for about 3 weeks. (confusing ><' )
I think i've understood how i will proceed but i'm not sure about the rom i want to flash.
(this ROM)
I think it's OK but in the rom's thread, it's said :
Based on Latest FW N7000XXLRQ, Phone: DDLR1, CSC: N7000DBTLRQ
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and i'm on LRK (the phone line when u type *#1234#) and LRT (the CSC and PDA lines when u type *#1234#)
i'm affraid about what could happen, don't want to brick, please help
(sorry for bad english :/)

You gave link of ClasssicRom V6, and it is based on latest indian DDLR9. (you are on xxlrt that is a germany latest version, a ddlr9 is indian latest version of ics 4.0.4)
ClassicRom v5 is based on XXLRQ.
If you want to flash a V6, it is ok, i think that is a very good rom.
Just make sure that you are on safe kernel before flashing, like hydracore. And reading installing instructions in OP.

Do u mean this ROM is not compatible with my device (it's not clear in my head, very sorry ^^') and it's mandatory to use a V5?

This ROM is compatible with your device. You can flash it :good: (It is hard for me to explain why but it is all ok) They are all for international N7000, no need to worry
Yes you can follow sahilarora2003 post. Also you can follow my posts in this thread, you can flash hydracore kernel in few ways. choose the way you want.
If you want the other easiest way to flash ClassicV6 from stock XXLRT I recomend the following:
1. Download a PhilZ kernel for XXLRT (if you are on stock XXLRT) from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31914226#post31914226
Put it on your internal SD card
2. Now you can flash PhillZ kernel from stock recovery (never do wipe here in stock recovery!).
Going in stock recovery by pressing Volup+home+power, when you boot up in recovery choose "update from sd card", choose PhilZ kernel and install it
4. now choose "Reboot your device"
5. Now go again in recovery (volup+home+power). You will see a different new shiny CWM6 recovery, if you dont see it, something is wrong (dont do wipe)
If you see a new recovery you are safe to do three wipes(cache, data and dalvik cache)
6. Now "install from zip card" choose ClassicV6 , and thats it!
7. Enjoy
I recomend a PhilZ kernel because you dont need to root to flash it, and you can flash it from stock recovery and it is brickbug free
You can flash HydraCore after you flash ClassicRomV6 because this rom came with Speedmod kernel, which is also good and safe for wiping. Because if you flash it before, Classicrom will flash his kernel which is Speedmod k3-13 kernel. So you will be on Speedmod.
I hope that I did not confuse you more

NO!!
Just download all neccesary files to your device on internal SD card (kernel and rom). Thats the only reason why you would plug it to the PC. Then unplug it and follow the steps..
P.S. Just make sure that your battery is charged over 70% (in case that something goes wrong)

mhhh
i was about to DL the PhilZ kernel and i don't know which one i should use : lrt or lrk
i said that because when i go into menus, there are LRT and LRK and i don't want to make any mistake

So? LRT or LRK?

Hi mate, in my case, I didn't type any code to find out info. I just go to settings > About Phone > Baseband Version ( In my case was N7000XXLRK UK ) . This is your sure baseband version .
Follow #6 , Flash PhilZ kernel from stock recovery It's easier than the ODIN PC way . Be sure if you flashed done ( " This recovery has a grey background, and that is a CWM6 on a safe kernel. " ) .. After that , flash Hydracore . ( To be sure if you flashed done, check again settings > About Phone > Kernel Version , and if you see hydracore there, You're fully safe now. Can do any wipe )
Just follow the steps from #6 and chose the right version of PhilZ kernel for your phone.

sorry, i was busy today...
I cant see atachments...
Ok, PDA is what you are looking for. You need a kernel for PDA ok?
Phone is modem (baseband version)
csc is country sales code
So i assume that you have (when you type *#1234#)
PDA N7000XXLRT
PHONE N7000XXLRK
CSC N7000XXLRT
If it is correct you need to download XXLRT kernel

[Q] Note Root problems (After yellow triangle)

My note is 2.3.6 , N7000LA2, now kernel is XXKKA,
I am not an expert, so I rooted in a wrong way then causing yellow triangle, But i removed the triangle finally
Actually I want to flash andriod 4.0 / other ICS theme rom, what procedure I should do now??
1. Is my note not a correct kernel now??
(I feel that the battery consumed faster than before, & not as smooth as than before getting yellow triangle)
2. Can I use a regular way (using odin to root back the right kernel & flash rom)?
3. my cwm mgr is not working correctly, how should i do??
Please advise ..
Many Many many thanks!
Do you have root working now?
If yes, update CWM, you can get proper kernel from my thread 'How to Root'(c signature for link)
after that you can update to any ROM with CWM

Thank you so much!
My colleague's fd finally helped me flash a new kernel ([email protected]#3)
But I have some questions
1) which version is this kernel??
2) can i keep this kernel , then flash another 4.0 rom??
3) if i dont want to use odin (pc version) to flash, can i use mobile odin or cwm to flash?
what exact procedure i have to do?
please advise..
thanks !!!
this is abyssnote kernel, universal
you can use CWM to update 4.0 ROM, put file on SD card n boot in recovery.
select flash zip file, point to ROM file, confirm it by saying ye, done.
if get bootloop, wipe cache, wipe data (it will wipe off data so take backup b4 proceeding)
dr.ketan , really thanks for your prompt reply
but I am now in another bad situation..
I flashed something wrong & the note keep rebooting, & then now cannot get in the system , just stop at the N7000 welcome page,
But i can go to CWM recovery
get into recovery, wipe cache, wipe delvic cache
still not works wipe data (you will lose data) This is routine for 4.0 based ROM
And wat u mean by 'something wrong', you are not sure it was custom ROM file?
If nothing works then go to download mode n flash older Stock ROM with PC odin

But it is not 4.0 based rom yet, just a 2.3.6, official rom (before "broke" )
So, should i still follow your method to do??
or should i get into recovery, try to flash the stock rom N7000OZSLA2 ?
I think i flashed the wrong version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415567
Now I find I cant flash any rom by CWM....

Have u wipe data ? If not do it first thn flash stock rom using pc odin

I really didnt wipe data, but finally flash stock rom by pc odin
done by following your post , thats really useful!
I flash hk version LA2, but cant root
& then flash KJ1 Factoryfs, got the CWM
lastly I flash the abyssnote kernel
so is my SGN now contains a KJ1 rom?
can i flash back to LA2 without losing the root?
or is there any big differences between KJ1 & LA2??

[Q] From GB LC1... to ICS LQ3 ?

Hi guys,
I have my Galaxy note since 4 months now I and think it's time to update it to ICS and why not to a custom rom like Criskelo (before my Note I had the GS II and I was really happy of the Criskelo Rom I installed on it).
So here I am, looking for informations about how to proceed to upgrade my phone..
I read a lot of post, it seems that few ROMs are really dangerous and can block the phone, and it seems that the LC1 is unrootable so I would have to downgrade it first ?
So can someone who know explain me how to proceed ? which steps should I follow?
I read that to go to ICS LQ8 from GB, I should first
"Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics "
But there is a topic "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943" which say "do not install any ics repack"...
So I'm totally lost !
I hope someone can help me, as I said, my goal is to go from GB LC1 to ICS Criskelo7 LQ3!
Thank you in advance
Hi!
To get root from lc1, you can just use a french tutorial here:
http://www.galaxynote.fr/rooter-facilement-son-telephone-t3714.html
Can't be more simple!
From there I didn't get to know how to install a stable ics rom.
Just let me know if you find a simple and safe way to install a good rom.

You can follow the procedure suggested by xda developers:
When on any rooted GB Rom:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery

Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for your fast answers !
Tonight is the big night, I will upgrade my device !
@jabab : I will follow thistutorial to root my Note
@tknguyencsu : Ok then when my GB LC1 will be rooted, I just need to follow you instructions !
Can you explain me why is AbyssNote needed ? No risk to do a factory reset on my GB LC1 stock rom ? Do you agree that all this means I go directly from my GB LC1 to a ICS LQ3 without any middle step with a lower ICS version ?
Sorry for all this newb question..
tknguyencsu said:
You can follow the procedure suggested by xda developers:
When on any rooted GB Rom:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik

Thanks for this !! But I have just got my Note and its LC1 - Can I just flash the zImage I got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 Or do i need to do the whole downgrade procedure ?
Hi again !
Thank you very much guys, It's done for me ! I'm on Criskelo LQ3 and everything was fine !
@azzledazzle: As I understood on different post, the stock GB LC1 rom is not rootable, so you will at first need to flash an other kernel in your device.
Few options then, as tknguyencsu advice, you can install "AbyssNote 4.2 kernel", or a "Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1_FRANCE" which I did (few posts will give you a link to the one you want).
You flash then your device with it (non-wipe) and then you will be able to root in an easy way.
When your device is rooted, do a backup, and then go for a full wipe (I think it's more than needed to go from GB to ICS).
Then > install your ROM
For perfectly for me !
Thank you for your help guys
(ps: do I need to do a batterie stats reset ? if yes should I do it when the device is fully charged ?)
Hey man, Did the above steps but ran into a few issues, To save me double posting heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27716441&postcount=78
Im back on ICS now, with CF kernel... Dont know what step(s) to take next
And what about the triangle after flashing with Abyss?
Yeah I have that too, But im not using abyss any more, Im using CF kernel, and i still have it.
Not so keen on CF kernel, I heard someone got the hardbrick with it. Am i to use the CWM app for all flashing now ? Cause when i booted into recovery and flashed abyss it wouldnt boot.
From what i as able to understand - if we do this:
"4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery"
in other words - if we do not boot with Abyss we won't get the yellow triangle.
Is this correct?

Okay heres the thing , I want to flash a new roms and I did the same old thing
Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Go to advance screen and wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd card - > choose zip from sd card. Find your ROM in the extSDcard.
Flash the ROM and reboot system.
While flashing , it took so long to actually flash like 10mins or so and I give up and I did a hard reset.
Can anyone point to me where did I do wrong ?
And I'm trying to flash this

Just download Hydracore, go back to recovery and flash it... Then go advanced options and reboot recovery.. After that wipe everything again and flash the new rom... Stay away from franco kernel that's way outdated and doesn't work with anything

i tried flashing hydracore and it took for me 10mins plus at the screen and still at the same place.
you tried to flash hydracore, and its not installing ?
may be try to flash back the stock ICS using odin and then flash Philz kernel to gain root
.boot into recovery and go to mounts & storage.
format / sytem
format / data
then try to install your TMT rom
If TMT is installed, Or even part installed then it wont boot with Hydracore kernel, The main thing is just having the kernel installed cause its safe, So, In recovery (with Hydracore installed)
Do all the necessary wipes, Flash the ROM, Then flash the kernel (Philz kernel)
then it should boot
If not, follow the above post to revert back to stock ICS / GB with odin, and then start the whole procedure again :good:

Stock ICS --> JB Leak?

Hi all,
I know similar questions have been asked literally hundred times, but as a complete noob to roms, I want to make sure that I get a full set of instructions and then I won't brick my phone. I want to upgrade my note to this JB Rom by cronosmachine. I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4. Never rooted or did modding to the phone. No kernel change (which I know nothing about), nothing.
I'm not sure how much info you guys will need but here are the basics:
Baseband version: N7000XXLRB
Kernel version: 3.0. 15-1115729
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 20 00:40:29 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.ZSLPN
I know that I have to first root my phone to get CWM? My guess is to follow method 1 on [24sept12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM?
And then from there I don't know what to do in order to get the ROM onto my phone.
And is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Appreciate any kind of help.
yes first root usin 1a method using philz kernel.
Once done, you will have root and cwm and is a safe kernel.
Download the zip file of the rom you want to flash and place it on internal or external sd card.
boot into recovery now (vol up +power+home)
go to mounts and storage
format/system
format/data
format/cache
go to advanced
wipe dalvik cache
go back
install zip.
point to the rom you downloaded.. and wait for it to install. that's all. see your phone booting into jb.
hope that was clear enough

On Phils' post where I can download the rooted kernel, I don't see XXLRB (my baseband version), but I do see a ZSLPN (my build number). Is the ZSLPN the one i'm supposed to download?

Yes, bas band refers to the modem, Build Number is rom.

Thanks SpyderTracks.
One more question before I pull the trigger, can all this be done with the "internal" SD card? Or does it have to be an external SD?
stock recovery doesnot allow installation from internal SD. so external is required. but you can use PC odin to install it, but it will leave a yellow triangle and increase the counter. later you can use triangle away app to reset it, Final call is yours.,
So after I installed philz's root and safe kernel, I went into recovery to wipe data cache system, went also wiped dalvik. Then I went to the main menu, chose install zip, tried to select choose zip from sdcard, but it keeps giving me this error: E:Can't mount /sdcard/
Nevermind, I managed to install from internal SD. But I'm not liking the ROM that much, so I plan on flashing CM10 Nightly to try it out.
On the CM10 thread, it says that I shouldn't be on a ROM based on stock. What I want to do is to flash CM9. But in order to do that, I'm not sure if I'm already on a safe kernel (after rooting using dr.ketan's 1a method (Phil's)).
what rom are you on now?

I'm on this rom, it's a tw based rom based on the leaked jb ls7?
I am not sure what kernel it has. boot into recovery and check what you see.. If it's philz the you can just flash the cm10 on it. else. install philz xxls7

I'm not sure either, I booted into recovery, went into Philz Settings > about, and got CWM base 6.0.1.5, and PhilZ Touch 3.00 (n7000).
And what you're saying is that if I'm on Philz xxls7 kernel, I can go right to flashing CM10, without worrying the "do not flash on stock based ICS fw" (even though I'm on jb)?
Yes.. you are on philz kernel and you can directly install CM10

Thanks for the information. But I want to know what makes my case an exception from
- Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! - You're warned!

I'm on a JB rom but it's based on stock, isn't that essentially the same as based on stock ICS?
the warning was when the safe ics kernels were not in effect.

Thanks for the quick reply!! When I get home, I'll try this out!
So what I need to do is
put the zip files onto my SD,
reboot into recovery,
install the rom,
install google apps,
wipe data,
factory reset,
reboot into cm10
I don't need to wipe system/cache/dalvik??
once in recovery
mounts & storage
format/system & data & cache
then install rom & gapps

Thanks a lot for guiding me through this, everything worked out perfectly!
great. now enjoy the cm10..:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
How come even after I performed format system cache data dalvik, some of the settings are still left on the phone? e.g. previously saved wireless networks, wallpapers... How can I completely start from scratch?

it will depend upon what apps u have installed.
normally it would be around 1 - 1.5 GB but if u have installed bigger apps like games it will gradually increase.
Warning: Never do a factory reset or any kind of wipes while you are in Stock ICS 4.0.4 kernel.
