I have recently purchased Samsung galaxy s advance i9070. Earlier i was using ace duos. I want to root my phone and also want to flash custom rom but as I checked forum and topics that there is no root package i.e. Update.zip available. And also rom flashing package not available. Every forum is talking about odin flashing. I do have tried to use odin for my ace duos but I had hard bricked it. So i request forum developers to post or give link of package which we can flash simple way like going into recovery mode and flash zip from sd or internal storage. Even clockworkmod recovery file is not available for it. My phone is indian version and runs on DDLK2 and lags in some games and running little slow. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

You demand way too much.
We have whatever we have. Take it or leave it..

I thought there r polite and helping nature people here at forum as per my previous experience. But I think those people have gone to somewhere else so, I think its better to take get out to other forums and find helping nature people.

i think what he meant to say is we donot have root packages we have recovery integrated into kernels. also custom roms have to be flashed thru recovery i dunno where you read abt odin! odin is for stock fw only!
everything is recovery flashable including kernels. but for jb only. for GB you have to use the dd method...

I have some noob questions, please someone answer them.
I rooted my note by flashing from recovery a supersu zip file i dint install any CWM.
Now my question is 1) Should i install a CWM to flash a safe kernal, cant i do from stock recovery.
2) Will i get the OTA update when i am on custom kernal and can i install it directly without causing any problems.
3) In many threads i read dont wipe on stock kernals, why actually should we wipe ours caches. No where it is mentioned, when someone explains tell me when has it to be done like while flashing custom kernals or custom roms?
4) If i use setcpu to over clock will it cause any problems longterm or shorterm.
5) And in many threads many say i bricked my note so is there a guarantee that it can be brought back to normal state.

1) Should i install a CWM to flash a safe kernal, cant i do from stock recovery. ?
u cannot install CWM just like that.. when u install a kernel u get CWM with it.
some methods of rooting doesnt install a safekernel or CWM... just root. then u can use mobile odin on the phone to install a safe kernel.
2) Will i get the OTA update when i am on custom kernal and can i install it directly without causing any problems.
u will be notfied of OTA but will not get installed.. it need stock recovery, stock kernel and non root
3) In many threads i read dont wipe on stock kernals, why actually should we wipe ours caches. No where it is mentioned, when someone explains tell me when has it to be done like while flashing custom kernals or custom roms?
sometimes the apps wont work correcly due to a corrupt cache. wiping it fixes them.. when flashing ROMs its a must for the ROM to build its on cache for the new apps. flashing a kernel doesnt require cache wiping
4) If i use setcpu to over clock will it cause any problems longterm or shorterm.
i havent heard of any issues with OC.. but yes one thing that is very prominent is when playing games the phone gets a lot more warm when OC.
5) And in many threads many say i bricked my note so is there a guarantee that it can be brought back to normal state.
it depends. if its a soft brick like when u have access to the download mode.. then 80% of the time yes but if it becomes totally dead aka hardbrick.. it needs a mothernpard replacement.

All ur questions can be found if u use search actually.
But let me try to answer.
1. If u use stock recovery and u want to flash custom safe kernel, go and download philz kernel. But choose properly the kernel for ur baseband. Read his thread carefully.
2. When u r on custom kernel or root, most probably u wont get ota, or u want be able to flash it properly. U can keep the latest update by flashing through odin.
3. Dont wipe on stock kernel, especially wipe data. It will trigger the mmc bugs. Why u need to wipe? U will need it when u like to jump from rom to rom it is needed for a clean installation. So u wont get any serious problem when flashing custom rom.
4.might be yes might be no. If u follow instructions from developer of course not. So far the best OC is from hydracore. Unless u know how to do it urself. Try to avoid 3rd party apps from market.
5. Dont be afraid of bricking ur note if u like to learn. I bricked mine on the 5th weeks i had this note. U can revive it using hg42 pit revival methods.
Hope i help u.

Dpi is a unit measuremen for ur display.
Originally it comes with 320 dpi.
But our devs here are manage to change it to smaller dpi.
Lets say 290dpi and 240 dpi. It will be depends on how comfort is ur eyes to see.
U can change manually in build.prop with a root access.
But, easily, there are some custom roms provide u with smaller dpi, but u will need root access also to flash custom rom.
Good luck in anything u plan to do, mate!

actually antique_sonic did answer about DPI.
DPI is dots per inch.
note has a dpi of 320.. lower the dpi.. smaller becomes the text and icons.
so i u have lots of icons in ur home screen.. lowering DPI to 280 or 240 will make them smaller and thus more spacious.
be careful cuz putting incompatible values will cause the phone not to boot.

i have rooted my galaxy note,,im on stork ROM and kernel..is it safe if i now directly re flash stock ROM via PC Odin?without raising binary flash counter?i want my note clean so that i can install OTA.
Hi so i just moved from my iphone to the note so im a little nooby with andriod again, im trying to root and install a new rom but half the stuff im reading is all gibberish LOL. For instance what is GB, JB etc its all confusing at the moment
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Man now i sound silly, gb is gingerbread and jb is jelly bean. What is xxsl7 though?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
You're right on the first two... As one that came from an iPhone, i know how confusing it can be...
When people mention xxls7 or something like that it's usually rom related. Take the first two letters, xx gives you location, not 100 percent sure but think that's open europe, then the last three are the important ones, that's rom version.
It's incremental so a before b numbers higher than letters. So lc1 is earlier than ld1 or lc2 or lcz. They range amongst overall versions, so gb has its on range, ics (ice cream sandwich) has its own, and now onto jelly bean with the lsx range.
Get my drift?
There's also kernels which are the package that performs connections with the hardware, same deal, later generally better.
On ics, Stock kernels are dangerous and can brick your device instantly, read stickies about that, so we usually flash a safe kernel if we're on stock ics. There's hydracore or phillz amongst others. Each have their own benefits/drawbacks.
Hope that helps, read all the stickies initially, it'll help alot, especially on ics kernels and bricks as we have a lot of people skipping that and coming here complaining of a dead phone after first flash.

all stock ICS kernels are unsafe for WIPE as when installing a new ROM you need to do a factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik cache ( Clockworkmod recovery terminology)
thats why spyde adviced you to install a safe kernel before going to install a new rom..

its very simple to root a 4.0.4 these days and safe as well..
check you rom build number and download the kernel corresponding to your rom

then place the zip file in the ext SD.. boot into recovery and update from external SD and point to the Zip file.. install and done..

Is it safe to install a custom rom on n7000, because of it's brickbug? (If yes, please help me how to install and which one to install)
I've never installed any custom ROM nor have i rooted till now. And mine has the 'brickbug'.
And i would also like to know what version OS i wil get on my device and whether the S-Pen feature remain intact ( S-note and
stuff). I just want my note to be smooth, fast and battery miser because i am now on official 4.1.2 it lags a lot and is battery hungary.
Looking forward for detailed help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Yes it is safe to install all recent custom roms. Probably even safer than staying on stock.
Your s-pen will still work, with every rom i tried. however, if you do not go for a stock-based rom, Samsung apps(including S-note) will not.
Also, consider the age of your battery. Your poor battery life may be related to an old battery. (Still, flashing a different rom should improve it.)

Flash philz kernel in recovery and you will be safe from brickbug, although only few cases of brickbug have been reported in JB, it is there on ICS for sure. So just flash philz kernel and reboot recovery before flashing anything from there, then read the instructions in the custom rom thread of your choice and follow.
If you dont mind, can u explain a bit more on how to flash and what exactly it is

After that, follow the instructions in the first post of the rom you are flashing.

Hello. Firstly, I'm sorry to say that I don't have much experience as mine came directly from ICS. I can suggest a long roundabout way which is to update your android vers. from GB To JB through Odin procedure first, then just flash philz safe kernel. and then flash any roms u want. Or if you just want stock JB, then u can download stock JB firmware n flash it through odin.
Edit : Go Here And watch the video and read. The link for the kernel provided includes CWM. After Installing CWM, you can directly flash philz safe kernel, reboot to recovery, do a clean wipe and formats (Follow OP of the rom you want to install)
