Hi guys,
Well I'm a android user and I have a SE Arc S and I know quite a few things about flashing new roms, kernels, etc...
My girlfriend has a galaxy mini and she's complaning about the phone's performance. So I want to install a custom rom with a better performance but I know little about the "how to" in Samsung.
I've searched but I couldn't find any tutorial. Can someone post a link please?
Thanks
EDIT: Found the tutorials but in SE phone we have to unlock the bootloader, is it necessary on the Galaxy minis? Or is it just flashing through CWM recovery?!
Try here www.yagyagaire.blogspot.com I'm sure you'll find some info
If you have understood methods then Try flashing CM7 (or ROMs based on cm7) for best customizations or try Emanon v6 for touchwiz look and better stability....

How to install custom rom:
1st: the device must have OS Gingerbread 2.3.x
2nd: install CWM via Odin
3rd: install custom rom ( .zip file ) from CWM (recovery mode)
it's running 4.0.4
Hello people of xda
I am really lost here, about mtd roms and non mtd roms
so I know that mtd is a partion scheme which is used in ics roms.
but my question is : I am running overcome with overcome kernel but lately I have been thinking to upgrade to ics(aokp rom) or JB(cm10) so can i upgrade without having to restock and if i upgraded to ics can upgrade to JB without restocking??
and if i do a restock would i lose the unlocked bootloader ??
p.s: i got the tab from my friend and he told me that he already installed cm9 but before that he did a restock then he installed overcome
THx for help
Yes, you can upgrade to ics without restocking.
Yes, from ics you can upgrade to JB without restocking.
No, from GB onward no locked boot loader. That us froyo issue.
Edit: he is right.
To return to GB you need restocking.

and thx for helping
sorry i am a noob
u can go for jb directly over aokp bt for overcome now u need to restock.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Perhaps we didn't make it clear. Overcome is GB based.
And all GB rom are non-mtd.
From mtd to non-mtd , always requires restock with repartition in Odin.

Don't know what you are talking about as "above problem".
CM9 RC1 has no update.zip, it is as it is and I heard of no issue.
now. MTD and BML (samsung's partition scheme aka NON-MTD) are partition tables.
That is a specs of how a piece of disk should be sliced up and how to describe the slices.
You only need to know that CM9 and AOKP ROM uses MTD partition while all Gingerbread ROM for our device uses BML (NON-MTD).
When you flash ICS the first time, your partition will be converted to MTD.
To convert back to BML you need to use Odin/Heimdall with stock ROM that has pit file and you need to select to repartition the device.
Overcome ROM is a famous GB ROM modded by Team Overcome.
http://www.teamovercome.net
"Overcome method" of restocking refers to the set of downloads and guide that Team Overcome recommends to people to correctly restock their device.
It is, in my opinion, the best way to ensure you have no problem install ICS.
I am now recommending you to do that and see if you have problem in CM9
So
http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,

http://tabfirmware.com/2012/01/romk...e-7-series-v4-1-0-♫-overcome-kernel-v4-0-0-♫/
Please note:
- you want to restock using GB-stock-safe and the Odin included in the package
- you then flash overcome kernel 4.0 tar using Odin
- you don't need to wait for the robotic voice to complete the ext4 conversion, just force reboot to recovery and use the recovery to flash ICS from sdcard.
- you need to flash ICS twice because round one converts to MTD and reboot
- you need to flash gapps after you flash ICS
Thanks for all the pain u have taken replying me. I faced problems like camera doesn't work at all.force closes. couldn't find external micro SD card So. My question is that if I want to flash any ice from can I directly do it through CWM ie by clearing caches and instlalling from zip.
And can u plz give me the link of cm9rc1 from link which u said u didn't have any prob...and to apply this or any other ics based rom or jb rom what's the procedure.
PS: I donot want to come back to GB (restock) but just wanted a stable ics.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
I am not using CM9 RC1, so no, actually I said "I heard of no issue".
About restocking. I still recommend it.
You already come this far and manage to install CM9 RC1.
Others has no problem but you have.
Maybe restocking will clear the problem.
So u want me to come back to gb..OK I have seen that procedure, but what if wanted to flash other ics roms like aokp. Should I restock and then flash???
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
actually, frankly speaking there should be no need to restock.
I just don't know why you face so much issue with CM9.
Yeah, try AOKP by Stimpz0r. I am using it myself.
Place the aokp build #40 and gapps in external sd.
Do the three wipes, (data, cache, dalvik).
Then flash aokp, then gapps.
Good luck.
So how ur experience
Btw can u give me the link??? Of aokp stable build

Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.
If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]
After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?
Thank you.
Stephen
Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

Well guys. It looks like my flashing rom days are over before they have begun !
Tryed flashing the pre-rooted GB rom via Mobile Odin. This is what I get http://twitpic.com/an6zbi
This isnt right is it. Surely the other sections should be filled in not just System ? This is a real problem as I dont have Windows and can get my head around Heimdall. Im stumped. Is there a file I can use via Restore to install the rom ?
Hope someone can help !

Hello dear friends,
I'm just a newbie here, so please be patient ...
1) I'm planning to root+CWM my n7000 and also (and finally) want to flash CM9.1 (stable) on it. Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all

If you use this ROM V20q, you will have to try, if the update tool works. I find those LG tools are working randomly.
If you cannot update and want stock ICS on your phone, restore with Paul O'briens Smartflash, then you erase all traces of rooting your phone!

On the other hand, will the stock ICS rom be as good as something like the hybrid Temasek rom anyway.
If we had the drivers for the video chip (and HDMI?) it would be perfect. As it is it's still better than stock in every other way.

Basically I want to get smooth flash player working on my P990 and by looking at this old thread:

Some guy says that he gets 720p smoothly over Flash Player with temasek's KANG ROM so the question is this:
I currently have a offical v20q rooted and installed CWM recovery, I downloaded the zip temasek's KANG ROM, so what now? Go to recovery and just flash? Or do I need to wipe format system or what?
Just tell me the few steps I'm missing do I need to do something in recovery before going to "install zip from SD card"?
PS: If somehow I don't like the temasek's KANG ROM, how do I revert back? Just make a backup of the current v20q and reflash the backup right?
I don't understand why you want to go CM7. It's old now. I personally never got smooth 720p on Temasek CM7. I recommend you to install stock based ICS ROM if you want to stay near stock or CM10 based ROM if you want AOSP feel. These ROMs should have even smoother Flash Player.

I decided to try out the "DjangoManouche" ROM, because it's stock based as you say.
These are the steps:
1 - Go to this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2020737
2 - Download the amazing AIO tool by Spyrosk and follow his guide to change partition layout from old to new (if you come from GB roms) and unlock bootloader
3 - Install 30 based CWM 5 or 6 (see OP)
4 - Install DjangoManouche
5 - Reboot After Install
6 - Enjoy
So if I got this right, I should go in the AIO tool and do option 4 first which is: " Change Partitions from OLD to NEW layout and vice versa",
then I should Install "30 based CWM 5 or 6", what a hell is that? I already have stock GB v20q rooted with CWM installed, what is a "30 based CWM 5 or 6 and where do I get it?
