Need Your Advice, especially sometime i don't understand everyone are talking about..

I'm a newbie in this forum. and also newbie with android, especially with samsung galaxy note.

i'm not quite understand with this kind of rom.
after met samsung service center, and thanks to my "sweet" talk, they agreed to replace with new phone even though i got exclamation mark.

and thanks to dr ketan, i rooted my samsung galaxy note once again using fast way + notecore v12 .. and thanks to chainfire who make triangle away.

after i read some threads in general. i'm kinda intrested with custom rom such paranoid from imilka.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802
but after i bricked my note last week, i'm kinda affraid to custom my note once again.
so I need your advice ..
i'm not understand with
DON'T flash FROM ANY SAMSUNG ICS OR ROMS BASED ON SAMSUNG KERNELS (my CM9, AOSP, etc) Flash any stock GB rom with odin / or any GB kernel [instructions] root device [instructions] and reboot into recovery once again before flashing this
Install Rom: http://d-h.st/I9m
Install HYBRID Gapps: http://www.paranoid-rom.com/index.ph...pps-hybrid.zip
Wipe caches, factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom than CM9
If your statusbar is gone after the first reboot: longpress Powerbutton > Toggle Statusbar
Reboot and edit your Apps Dpi under Settings/Paranoid Settings/P.A.D. Hold the powerbutton to see the new fullscreen-togglebutton
ok now i want to ask :
my rom is official samsung ics + notecore v12 kernel. do i need to flash my note into stock gb rom? so if i need to flash into gb, which gb i must download ? dr.ketan give us an option to choose, directly rootable and non rootable directly. what is that mean?
which one should i choose ? and how about the kernel ? do kernel change after i flash GB stock rom ? or i need to change my kernel too ?
and if i need to flash other kernel ? which one is a good one kernel ? especially for custom rom like cyanogenmod9 or paranoid.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Experimental ROMs are those ROMs which are not stable i.e. which are very buggy and have (sometimes) major issues.
Eg. Here and here
They say clearly that many things are not working.Don't flash these as a noob.We'll help if you run into troubles,of course, but its better to stay away until you learn more.
Anyways, I'd better say this before the lynching party gets here:
""PREVIEW DISCLAIMER:
This is a PREVIEW : CyanogenMod 10 is nowhere near ready to be used as a daily driver (lots of features still have to be merged)""

[Q] Which rom to choose now i am on Philz Safe Kernal ?

O K so i have just flashed Philz Safe Rom XXLRK-XEU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to my note and everything seems as it should but i am a little confused as to what roms i can apply. Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong place my head is a bit all over the place after reading a lot this morning deciding if it is safe to start rooting/flashing my note, my only previous experience of this was through odin for my sgs2 so i am new to the note scene.
Ideally i would love to put paranoid android on from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802 but i am cautious that the install logs states not to install this rom from a stock kernal which is pretty much was philz kernal is isnt it ???
if anyone can help a newbie to the note scene out i would be greatly appreciated as i am getting confused going through all the searches i have done this morning
Hope you can helpo - cheers

when you flashed Philz Safe Rom XXLRK-XEU.. your note is already rooted now.
This kernel is safe and you can flash the PA rom with no issues. Just follow the procedure in the PA thread.

Thank you - i will check it out and report back
Is this the case with all roms or just the PA rom, am i to presume that the "safe" kernal is just that and i can go and try out a few roms just as i did with my sgs2 ?
Thanks
KV3

Yes.. but when you flash a new rom, the kernel will change to whats included in the rom. In between if you choose to flash stock ICS again, need to take caution to move to safe kernel again

thanks again for the quick responses - is it best practise to always reflash a safe kernal after the rom has been installed, so in the case of me flashing PA rom i can then reflash Philz safe kernal - i am sure i will get to grips with it all there just seems to be more risks involved with the note / ICS than when i was working with my sgs2
Cheers

No. All custom roms will have a safe kernel in built. Philz won't work with custom roms as it's a stock kernel. Best is hydracore but that does not work with the JB leaks of Samsung TW

all up and running and everything seems great with the PA rom - no complaints here yet but i havent had much chance to play with things with work and all that other stuff so thanks again nokiamodeln91 i have clicked your thanks button for all your help

[Q] Galaxy note, Questions

I'm sorry if anyone has post this already, but I'm a new owner of a Galaxy Note, but the user that sold it to me, let it with alliance rom, but however, it drains too much batery and its full of things that I really dont need, like 1000 lockscreens and the most features I dont use, Also it wasnt with CWM but with TW (I think that it is what its called) and now, I am scared to turn this phone into a brick (He is like a brick but I dont want to actualy brick him )
So my questions are:
-Can I install any rom right now? Using the steps that are mentioned on the threads?
- What rom do you advise me to, I dont want too many things, I want as stock as possible, without the botlware, and with the main features of the note 2 if it is possible
Thanks by the help

Flash whichever ROM you choose.
If your on alliance kernel it should be a safe kernel.
Wipe system data cache dalvik preload androidsexure first then flash the zip of whatever rom
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
Read about brickbug on stock ICS ROMs first...
If you're on alliance JB (not ICS) the kernel is safe. If you want to be extra safe you can flash philz first.
If you are totally clueless use mobile Odin from play store.

My alliance rom is the last one and my kernel is this 3.0.31-593490 and i'm on android version 4.1.2 is it safe? do you think that ultimate rom would be better than alliance?

Ultimate is kind of same thing...lots of customizations...
I personally use eybee's stock decodexed and apply his mods...then use titanium backup pro to remove bloat ware I don't want...
An option too is to add xpericle tablet mod ...
Your kernel should be safe to wipe from so long as when you boot to recovery it is twrp

Humm, i really dont want to go so far, like installing a lot of things, I just want a simple thing that works good, and has good batery life, then I'll use titanium too to remove things that I dont want, do you know any rom like that? I think I need to change the kernel before flashing that one that you said to me isnt it?

I would flash philz first personally...but that is preference...
Really you should just read all the ROM threads and choose the one you like best... it is personal preference...there aren't that many..
Just stick with a tw LSZ ROM if you want a Samsung based interfacw

And how can I flash philz? And what tw LSZ ROMS are you talking? I really dont understand those meanings and sorry if being annoying, but I really just dont want to ruin this phone

To flash philz you download the LSZ philz from the kernel thread.
You then reboot the phone and hold volume-up-power until it boots into recovery.
Hit install zip. Go to internal SD and then download folder and flash philz.
Now download the ROM and follow install instructions
TW ROMs are based on samsung stock interface. AOSP/AOKP/CM10.1 roms are based on a more pure Google android experience.
TW ROMs have many more features including the note2 features you want. Pure android based ROMs are faster but have less features.
Once you have philz installed you should follow the instructions in the Original post of that ROM thread
LSZ refers to the most recent Samsung official jelly bean release.
Ia glad to answer any question. PLEASE ASK THEM NO QUESTION THAT WILL STOP YOU FROM KILLING YOUR PHONE IS STUPID.
Before doing anything be sure to read the brick bug sticky thread so you understand how you can brick your phone.
Please hit thanks if I helped you.

And can I flash philz and still remain with the same rom or as I flash the philz I need to put a diferent rom? In the first time I just want to change my rom, so that its more easy to me, with the things that I have, the kernel and based on the rom that I have, what rom should I put in here now? I'll thank you if I get to know where is the button to hit

It's just the kernel you are flashing. It will not change the rom.
Phone will still boot and you can install a rom later after finalising one.

PhilZ TouchWiz based JB and ICS kernels
PhilZ-cwm6 Safe Stock Kernels
(developed by Phil3759)
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1901191
All PhilZ-cwm6 kernels can be found in this post.
Mirror download links are located in this post.
Latest: all kernels upgraded to v3.99 *new*
Is it this?
By the way, if I dont want to change the kernel ( I'm afraid that it can go wrong) What should be the rom that I put in my phone with this kernel that I'm using ?

When you flash a new ROM it flashes a new kernel.
Yes flash the LSz philz

There are a lot of them.. And all of them talk about CWM, but I dont have it, wont it affect it?
<< 13.03.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.88.2 with CWM 6.0.2.9 based recovery >>
XXLSZ-OXA (fixed for bootloop)
Is it this one that I need to flash?

assuming you are still on alliance.. yes thats the one

if you want a rom with good battery life and almost no bloatware at all, i would suggest using chasmodo's rom. but as mentioned above, choosing a rom depends on personal preferences.

[Q] Switching ROMs

I currently have the JB based SweetRom v7 installed on my Galaxy Note.
Recently it was pointed out to me by a friend that CM based ROMs have a better functionality and are easier to use. Me, never having used a CM based ROM (not even on a friend's phone), am kind of in a dilemma whether or not to switch.
It would be of great help if you could help me out with the Pros and Cons of both JB based and CM based ROMs and if I should give CM a try. Also, a list (If possible) about the features which might not work/are absent from CM based ROMs..
Also, an elaborate guide to switching from JB to CM and a ROM suggestion for a first-time CM user will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance guys.

I'll answer part of your question. If you switch to a CM-based ROM, you won't be able to use S Pen-based apps such as the S Note, as it is tightly integrated into Touchwiz.
4.1.2 JB LT4 Union ROM v7, LT3 Modem, PhilZ LT4 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)

Will i not be able to use only the apps or the S-Pen as a whole?

You would not be able to use Samsung applications for S-pen but you can use their alternatives from play store, also FM does not work but you can use Spirit FM, No Wi-Fi Direct but you can use the alternatives from play store.
Edit: Just so that you know, CM based roms are much faster and smother than the TW or stock rom. Also has lot more customisation to it compared to TW. TW also has customization but you will have to apply then or use a customized TW rom.

Yep, as already was said here, the spen apps, and functionality like scrolling, hovering stuff doesn't work.
Not every ROM is the same, so ones can be faster and others slower.
If You would like to have many many options I would recommend You to flash the jellybam ROM. It's slower but greater.
You may also try android 4.3

Okay, So I finally decided to go with JB 4.2.2 SuperNexus ROM.
I'm still confused about how to flash it. I've gone through the procedure and I understand it all but I'm now sure how to Switch from Philz recovery to CWM recovery?
I know this sounds stupid but this is the only thing keeping me from flashing the CM Rom.
Do I flash a CM based kernel to change from Philz recovery to CWM or is there something more?
Help will be greatly appreciated!

As for note the recovery is in the kernel, you will need to flash a cm kernel.
But you could directly flash it using philz recovery. When the rom installs it will install cm kernel and overwrite philz kernel.

So I just need to flash the ROM and Gapps through Philz recovery to get it working?
All that head-banging went in vain, I guess -_-
Thanks a ton!

it wont go in vain.. will come handy some day,. there was an issue with Philz recovery not able to install CM/AOSP roms.. (error 7). which was resolved in the latter updates,, if you get the same error ... then flash a CM kernel first and then reboot recovery and flash the rom.

Precautions before installing custom ROMs?

Hi guys, I am new to this Forum.. I wanted to root my GT-N7000. So i searched the forums and i followed the guide of Dr.ketan and used the recommended method ( 1A - Flashing safe kernal with CWM recovery with touch 5 ). Had a bootloop on second restart, ( did reset and rooted the phone using the 1B method flashing SuperSU and Busybox ) Nevertheless successfully rooted my phone.
Now i wanna try Custom ROMs..Is there any precautions to be considered other than Nandroid backup?.. Also i have only a 2GB memory card.. Would it be enough to make Nandroid Backup?..
I also read by Installing Custom ROMs, we will lose Stock apps ( Since apps like S Note need some TW kernal ).. Is there anyway to Port or install or Mod available to install stock apps like SNote and Splanner in Custom ROMs?..
Finally, will the SPen work with Custom ROMs??.. I mean will the Custom ROMs for Note will have the Kernals Inbuilt for SPen or we have to install the Kernals required?..
Thanks a lot for viewing this thread and Thanks in Advance for your replies
PS:- Please excuse me, if the above questions have been asked before, cuz i searched for it and couldn't find it or they were complicated for a noob like me!

For flashing custom roms you will first need a custom kernel with cwm and safe to flash from.
It depends on the ROM you want to flash.
Don't worry about the sd card size, you can make backups to internal sd also.
Custom rom based on touchwiz do come with the apps you mentioned. But if you are going to try AOSP&CM roms them they won't work as they need tw framework.
Kernels not required for spen. Framework. Roms based on Samsung firmware support spen but AOSP&CM roms will not. As a stylus it does work though. Not like popus you get on Samsung roms.

I had already flashed Philz safe kernal with CWM.. So I dont need to flash kernals if the Custom ROMs are based on CWM right?.. and for the Spen to work, i just have to find Custom ROMs based on samsung firmware support? or Custom ROMs based on TW?..
Thanks for your help

If you have flashed philz kernel then you should be good to flash most of the roms except 4.4 as they need newer version of cwm. Eg raw kernel.

Thanks a lot.. I have one more question ( pls bare with me )..
If for eg.. i wanna download this SuperBean v1.5 XXLT6.. The last 5 letters, what exactly are they?.. My mobile Build No ends with:- DDLSC and my Baseband version ends with :- DDLS6...
Does this last 5 letters of Superbean ( XXLT6 ) have anything to do with my Build No or Baseband version?.. When i downloaded the Philz touch 5 CMW recovery with safe kernels i Noticed, he had seperate files for seperate Build Nos..
So do i have to check the Custom ROMs for my Build Nos or is it only for kernels and CMW?..
Thanks for your help

Those are roms build for different regions. You can flash any build number. It's up to the developers on which rom version is his ROM based upon.

One more thing to do before installing a custom rom is to BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER.
Or do not do it and your phone could end as a small tablet/big mp3 player.
Unlikely, but i bought one with damaged EFS folder last week to replace my screen. It does happen.
