Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

1. Yes go to clockwork mod folder on SD card
2. Yes search for stock DEODEXED ROM
3. Yes search. No cm7 ever though. There is a thread that lists all roms.

Hi AndroidSlave,
Thank you for your prompt answer(s).... Indeed it certainly was helpful for No2)
1:
However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM?? I was in CWM and started the backup, watched a bit of TV and came back to find the phone had rebooted, didnt tell me if it was successful or not, just ready to use phone again. Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...
2:
Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????
3:
I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

to Install GB via flashable zip, you can flash via Mobile Odin or CWM - or if the thread has special install instructions, follow those
this search string gets a few results
http://www.google.com/search?q=stoc...ad+n7000+site:forum.xda-developers.com&rls=en
As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)

Hi!
Is it possible to just flash Doc's and Stefunel's ROM over Darky's ROM v8.1 or do I have to follow this guide first?
I understand that I have to disable Lagfix (speedmod ext4)? Or do I?
I've read a lot about both ROM's but can't really find objective/facts pros and cons, on either, if you have something to share I'll be very happy!
Thanks!
Yes you can, you should use the wipe version though seeing as you will be going from a JPY to JS3 base. Unless you select a JPY base in the kitchen in which case you may be able to get away with a non wipe although wipe is always recommended. Use titanium backup to backup/restore settings and apps.
If you are going from a speedmod kernel to another speedmod kernel then no need to disable lagfix
Hope that helped
If you are not experienced in rom flashing, disable the lagfix first. It will only take a few minutes.

Is titanium backup as intuitive as it seems or is there a trick? Something I need to be aware of that can go wrong etc?

Thanks for helpful replies!
Did some more reading and stumbled across Titanium Backup Wiki which had everything I asked for!
Thanks anyways! =)
I have already done that. Inspite of so much hype around Darkky rom, his new one disappointed me. I just copied Doc's rom(wipe version) to internal sd card and restarted to recovery. Did a factory reset there. installed zip from there. Very nicely running. Without lagfix also mine is flying. Very happy. Before installing I didn't have any lagfixes enabled.

As perverse as this sounds, I miss the old days when Darkyy's rom wasn't that popular, when the thread doesn't grow exponentially, when the contents in the thread actually made sense.
Hehe,it's not that I'm dissappointed about your version Darky, just wanna try different ROM's and get my own experiences. My sgs with v 8.1 is incredibly fast and smooth, and so far i have no complaints.

For whatever reason Darky got 100% of the muppets who dont know what they are doing dont read the FAQs and SEARCH has yet to be invented .

Hey, Sorry for the Noob question but I rooted my Note a couple of days ago (Still a Newbie) and was wondering which ROMs would be best to flash now.
I've been using the rooted phone but I couldn't find much of a difference in performance or anything. Actually, I don't even know how or what to remove to increase performance and battery life.
So if you guys could just help me out with this it would be real Helpful!
Question :
Which ROM is the easiest to work with? Since I'm a newbie I have a whole lot of chance that I might just do something stupid and end up with a Hard-bricked phone.
Any help is appreciated..!
Once again, I apologize for being a noob. I haven't really learned a lot about android phone since this is my first!
The first thing I'm going to ask you is, what is your current installed ROM? Stock GB or stock ICS?
If it's still in stock GB (2.3.6), I was using CheckRom Revo HD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQGdSuJBgRA
This video gives you some overview on what that ROM is capable of. (Video courtesy of the original maker: aphroditelikesme)
It gives you some customization while giving you a boost in your battery life. Please read and read on the appropriate forums here in xda on how to install and use this ROM (if you want to)
Now if you want to upgrade to ICS stock 4.0, then can upgrade your ROM thru the standard way, OTA or thru PC KIES. Either way, your phone gets updated with the official firmware and remains rooted still. You may want to check www.samfirmware.com for new official ICS firmware of your region.
On my personal note, I reckon ICS gives me much better life than when I was using GB. Don't forget to install the indispensable tools like Titanium backup so that you can freeze or uninstall samsung's bloatwares there by releasing some needed rams on your phone's memory and also increasing some juices on it.
Hope that helps bud and wish all the best!
Cheers!
PS. Don't forget the 'Thank' button if I have helped you in some way or the other..

Firstly, Thanks! I could use all the help I get!
Now, coming to the point. I am running Rooted Stock ICS 4.0.3 XXLP8.
Yes, I have installed Titanium Backup and have freezed some of the unusable Samsung applications which always kept running and slowed down my phone..!
I might flash GB for some custom ROM but I would prefer keeping it on ICS cause flashing GB and then some ROM would put me at a higher risk of bricking the phone.
Could you suggest some ICS based ROMs which might be easy for a first timer to handle?
I can flash other ROMs later when I am confident enough not to brick my phone.

Well, sorry to break your bubble bud but I'm not an ardent fan of custom ICS ROMS. I prefer the stock one for now. Personally Touchwiz ain't that bad (in my opinion).
Since your still using 4.0.3, try to just consider upgrading it to 4.0.4. By the way I am already on 4.0.4.
There are tons of stock firmwares for 4.0.4, depending on where your from. Try to use a kernel that's pretty much close to stock itself. I'm currently using SpeedMod v3.9 for now and I must say, From the stock kernel that I was using before (CF root LRG 4.0.4), the battery life on my phone have increased tremendously.
Now if you really still want to try out some other custom ROMS, you can try to read and read on this development thread here or get some reviews from other users as well.
JellyBean is almost a working ROM but I still prefer the stock 4.0.4 ICS one..why? let's just say I prefer to use my Note's 'all' features working and using it as a daily driver.
Cheers!

I don't think 4.0.4 is out in India yet (It wasn't there the last time I checked). I'll still keep checking in from time to time though and upgrade as soon as possible.
If I were to stay on 4.0.3 can I still use the SpeedMod v3.9 kernel you're talking about? Also, I could really use a link on how to flash the new kernel as you might have figured out by now, I'm a Newbie
You can flash DXLRG (open germany) or the latest one (DXLRK) to just upgrade it to 4.0.4
For Asian release, I heard there's one already for SingTel but I'm not sure though if it comes with an Indian language pack on it.
Anyway, if you just want to stay on 4.0.3, YES you can still use SpeedMod kernel.** http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-note-ics-download.html
Download the kernel to your SD card (internal or external)
Now since your rooted, download Mobile Odin, run it, grant access thru Superuser and go to the kernel section inside Mobile Odin pro and look for the kernel that you earlier saved from the download.
After that, just tap on flash firmware (inside Mobile Odin still) and that would restart your phone and once booted, you now have a new kernel already.

how is the battery life?
Greetings.
I am the first time user planning to flash my 16GB Galaxy Note GT-N7000 phone (from Asia).
Previously I have been hard bricked my phone (MoBo damaged) due to improper / incorrect kernel flashing ROM. Already sent to Service Centre for replacement of MoBo under warranty. Now it's in the progress and I should be expecting it back in the couples of days.
Anyhow, I still prefer third party ROMs with awesome GUI. I plan to "try" flashing again when my phone is back.
This time, I would take more caution while doing this stuff. My request is, for first time new user like me, which ROM is recommended (plus suitable Kernel type which is more power saving and low temperature operating)?
I mean here maybe pointing more to what I so call close to "Samsung Custom ROM". I think that should be more convenient and safer for me rather than trying completely on new AOSP type for the first time. This is only my own opinion
What say you? Again, thanks for your recommendation. Have a nice day
i recommend you first try to read the rules of posting mate...requesting a move to the Q & A section...
ps...3 posts and already in the development section? hmm...
Moved To Q&A
This is in no way development, please post in the correct section. Anybody wondering the reason why this user can post in the dev section is due to the amount of time he has been a member. We thought a user with a long membership would be aware of such a basic rule, guess not
cleanote seems what you asking for. It's a clean rom based on stock, but very smooth
Honestly,i think every rom the Dev created are great.Just read through the OP of the each rom to see what rom is fit your style ( like you go to mall looking for shoe is fit you) and try it .Wish you luck...:victory:
Yeah, right. read through the OP and intructions a few times to be sure first.
Dudes, sorry for wrong posting in other section. I've been quite long time never browsing through this forum. That's why not familiar with the rules.
As my friend recommended me to search from XDA which is one of the best ROMs forum, here I am back again
BTW, what does OP stand for?
I have viewed through few threads in ROM dev section. Honestly, I'm still digesting the contents and descriptions...
Also, I require Chinese input or viewing too (forgot to state).
So far, I have been read through Criskelo ROMs (I like its GUI i.e. close to GS3 too), Fusion ROMs, CM9 ROMs etc. Not sure if these ROMs may fulfill what I've been requested?? Safe Kernels (this really worries me from what I've been experienced before----hardbricked! scare!)?
Thanks for your comment.
I would recommend CRASH rom...you can request the DEV for your Chinese stuff...its touchwizz base...safe kernel and very smooth with NO BUGS at all..:good:
For the awesome user interface I would say Paranoid Android (CM9, not CM10).
For the chinese stuff, I think Criskelo's rom supports it"• ADD Chinese Keyboard (on request)"
I'm not really sure if that's what you're asking for.
I think PA also supports chinese.
I don't think there are "new users" roms. Just read carefully the instructions and you should be fine.

Hi, let's say if I would like to flash Criskelo ROM, which safe Kernel shall I choose to use?
Speedmod, AbyssNote, GL Notecore (never heard, is it safe kernel)??
I just got back my phone with default stock GingerBread 2.3.6 (correction) ROM, without any rooting after repairing
Make sure you read the details on Rooting and flashing your phone.
NEVER WIPE / RESET on ICS Stock Kernels/ ROMS..
There's a lot of info in Dr. K's Stock ROM thread..
As for what ROM to use - I'd say CleaNote is probably what you're after, very close to stock with bloat removed. Bundled with the Dev's own Kernel...
Anyway, Good luck and remember to read, read and read again before you start messing around and bricking your device again..

Thanks for your advice. Actually I'm on stock GB 2.3.6 ROM now.
Should I flash any safe kernel before installing CleaNote ROM (as recommended)? Root required?
Also, what is "bloat removed"?

First your anwwer to what OP stands for it means "Original Post" .
Secondly, as you are on stock GB, you are safe from the Brickbug & can very well flash as you like, but keep in mind two things:
1- Read, re read & follow to the point the ROM developers installation instruction.
2- Do not Wipe / factory reset from any unsafe kernel. Only wipe from a safe kernel, i.e., GB & in case of ICS those with their MMC_CAP_ERASE command disabled like Speedmod K3-11, GL Notecore, etc.
Pls. read the stick section for additional information
By the way I would recommend Kingdroid Notemania Version 5.1.1 (With S3 Touchwiz UI Mods) with Speedmod Kernel for ICS K3-11 (Good performance & better battery)

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Noted your ROM & kernel recommendation. I've downloaded Criskelo v10.1 ROM previously (few hours downloading due to my slow internet connection). Thus, I plan to try this ROM first.
Actually, should I install any safer kernel even if this ROM contains it?
And, the correct steps for installation are ----> 1. root first 2. flash any so called CF_rooted_CWM_xxxx for GB ROM? 3. full wipe 4. flash this ROM in recovery mode?
actually you really should read, a LOT.

I've downgraded to stock GB ROM 2.3.5 (XXKK1 in my region). Then, I used InitialCFRootFlasher (CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5) to root + CWM as guided by owner of the OP. Would both different XX and ZS kernel types affect anything in term of phone functionality?
Finally, I found SuperUser and CWM in the menu as per attached pictures. Rooted, right?
What would be my next step to flash Criskelo v10.1 ROM? Thanks.
Your next step should have been second after rooting gb, back efs up, see my profike page, statistics and then backup thread I started

Hello people,
This has without a doubt been asked before but I haven't been able to find an answer. My problem is this:
A while back I flashed the then latest available version of the MIUI.us ROM for my international SGS i9000. Everything went fine with the flashing; I had to flash the ROM four times in part due to the new CM10 partition layout. Since the flashing was done late at night, I turned my phone of and plugged in the charger for it to charge during the night. The next day when I tried booting it up, the phone never got beyond the kernel screen. I didn't pay to much attention to this since I already had been thinking about flashing the CM10 ROM anyway and this seemed like a good time to do so.
I saw no other solution to escape the bootloop but to go back to stock (2.3.3 for my region) and then root the phone again (CF's method) and proceed with flashing my ROM of choice. I did not use a PIT-file in going back to stock. I flashed stock using ODIN v1.7 (I think). My computer at the time was running 64-bit Windows 7. The stock ROM I used, I found on a stock ROM collection thread here on XDA since the stock ROM from sammobile.com only got stuck in bootloop already at the first boot up after the flash with ODIN was complete.
Next I flashed the M2-version of the CM10 ROM and everything went fine. Since my phone already had the new partition layout from previously having flashed the MIUI.us ROM, I only needed to flash the CM10 ROM once.
The CM10 ROM worked like a dream for about two weeks. I stayed on the M2 during this time. After two weeks though, my phone again got stuck in bootloop unable to get beyond the kernel screen. Again it had been turned off and plugged to the charger during the night preceding the bootloop; a thing very common in my use case.
In neither of the cases did I change anything about the ROM I flashed; no custom kernels, no custom modems, everything was as it came with the ROM.
My question then is this:
What do I have to do in order to avoid ending up in bootloop again?
My thought was that I should return to stock and do everything from scratch again but this time use a PIT-file in order to make things "the right way". The thing is that half the flash-guides say one should use a PIT-file and the other half advice you not use a PIT-file since this would increase the risk of bricking your phone. Is there any point in using a PIT-file when flashing the stock ROM since flashing the CM10 ROM would change the partition layout anyways?
Am I taking the wrong approach to this? I really liked CM10 and would like to try out the stable version.
Sorry for the very long post.
Thanks in advance.
The pit file contains information about the partition layout. When you go back to stock from JB, you should use it. Try again going to stock with pit file and then flashing cm9 and then cm10. This way is the safest.

Seems legit. I'll try that. That particular thread did not show up when I was searching for solutions to my problem. Thank you for your answer and for your patience.
Glad I helped. Please post here when the problem is solved.

I just got to thinking. As you might have heard the CM-team changed the partition layout after a certain version of their CM10 release. When going from Stock to CM9 and then to CM10 is it all right if I flash the stable version of each release or should I go from Stock to CM9 to CM10 pre-partition layout change to CM10 post-partition layout change?
Also: should I prefer the Stock ROM found at sammobile.com or are the files found on this thread better?
Thanks in advance.

Aight! Will try that out and see what happens. Thanks again for your reply. Btw, should I go with the CM9 stable or the CM9.1 stable? Maybe it doesn't matter in my case since CM10 stable is the final aim of the project? As I understand it CM9.1 stable is only a maintenance release?
Sorry again and thanks for your patience.

I'll do that and report back later this week. Thanks again for your time.
Well I finally had time to flash my phone. I flashed stock using the 512 PIT-file. Then I flashed CM9.1 stable and finally CM10 stable; like you advised me to. The only problem when flashing stock was that the single-file stock ROM found on sammobile.com does not seem to work for me; I get stuck in bootloop when I flash this file (doesn't matter if I use a PIT-file or not when doing so). I tried using the three-file stock ROM found on the XDA forums (with PIT) and this time it worked. Other than that everything went fine. I hope the post-flash bootloop phenomenon I've experienced earlier does not appear again.
One more thing: I also flashed the 4.2 keyboard with the swype-like function through recovery [Android4.2_Keyboard_v2_gnufabio.zip]. How do I go about uninstalling it?

You'll have to extract the cm10 keyboard apk from the cm10 zip file and put it in /system/app folder.
Tip: If you don't like cm10 or want something cool, then you can download flash another JB ROM, eg Slimbean, C-Rom, Remics-JB, X-bean etc.

To answer my own question: apparently the multi-file ROM found at sammobile.com is meant to be used with Heimdall. But as I understand it Odin is better for going back to Stock WITH re-partiotion (PIT-file). Am I wrong?

I was wondering how to uninstall the 4.2 keyboard I installed not the stock AOSP keyboard that comes preinstalled with CM10.

I find CM10 to be awsome. As I understand it basically *all* other ROMs are based off of CM. Out of the alternative ROMs you mentioned I would probably try out X-Bean and Slim Bean; I really like the look and feel of Vanilla Android. One thing I do miss in CM10 is the kill all button in the task manager. And that apps really close and release their memory when I close them.

I am not sure, but i think that when you installed the 4.2 keyboard, it replaced the aosp one, so you wil have to open the CM10 zip file, find the aosp keyboard .apk and put it on your phone in /system/app and then set the permissions accordingly.
Regarding other ROMs, yes they are based off cm10, but some people say cm10 is a bit slow so they prefer other versions, some with extra feautures, themes or removed things.

Nope, both are still there. The main reason I would like to uninstall the 4.2-version is because the swype functionality only supports English (I'm multilingual). I was hoping I wouldn't need to install the Swype keyboard if the 4.2 stock keyboard worked completely with all my preferred languages. No need to have an extra keyboard installed if I'm not gonna use it.

Out of X-Bean and Slim Bean which one would you recommend and why? What are you running yourself? I don't know why but it just *feels* like CM10 is more stable (although, admittedly, I haven't tried any of the ROMs you listed). I guess in a way CM10 is the Official Custom ROM with the most up-to-date developer support. For instance CM10 went to Android v4.1.2 quite a while ago (when compared with other ROMs). When it comes to CM10 being a bit slow, lets face it; the i9000, although being a very good phone, is more than two years old at this point.

If both are there then delete the 4.2 apk and reboot your system. I dont think there is a way to uninstall it.
I use Remics-JB because of the S3 look. X-bean and slimbean are from the top of my head,both of them are focused on speed. There are many more, choose the one you like.

The thing is it came as a ZIP-file; not an apk. I had to install it through recovery mode.

Flashing a zip just places some files in some directories. When you flashed the keyboard, all it did was copy the apk to /system/app.
Delete it and you should be OK.

Seems about right. I can't figure out which apk it is though. None of the ones listed has a name even suggesting it is a keyboard.
Open the keyboard zip you flashed and check the name of the apk

Hey guys and gals,
Noob here, only installed 1 or 2 ROM's in the past, but I would now like a hand deciding on a suitable ROM for my needs on my Galaxy Tab P1000 (UK/European)
I would like a ROM that is nice and responsive, has good battery life and is fairly customisable, and I guess most come already rooted? I would prefer it to be ICS or JB too I have looked about and seen a few CM10 ones, some MIUI ones and various others but I am lost for choice, I have no idea what ones are best.
I want everything to work (all wireless connections, camera etc...) don't mind things like auto brightness or similar as that isn't major. The main reason for wanting to change from the stock gingerbread is because I find it unresponsive and boring.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thought Q&A was my best bet.
Thanks,
Cam.
Actually your best bet is to try them out yourself. All criteria are subjective.

Ok matey, will have a play!

Hey again,
Quick question,
For the MIUI v4 ICS ROM, which I like the look of alot, it needs a "restock" and install Overcome or a CM9 guide to be followed. (ROM link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842 )
However, do I still need to do this as I haven't already installed any custom ROM? If I do can you give me a feint idea how I can approach it? Or can I just wipe cache/data etc.. and install the ROM?
Sorry if I am being a pain, not had to do any of this before.
Thanks,
Cam.
Many has your problem.
The thing is, newer ( well, post April 2012) ROM use new MTD layout, which need you to come from stock, or from same layout.
If your custom ROM were GB, no issue. They are stock BML partition, which the new rom can convert upon install.
If it were cm9 or 10, watch the mtd layout. The installer isn't made to convert older mtd to new mtd, so need restock.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Ok so as I have no custom ROM at all I need to restock to new layout. No problem, just wanted to know if it was necessary for me to do it.
Thanks for your help,
Cam.

Think I have got it, can someone please confirm my steps to make sure I am doing it right?
1. Flash latest CWM recovery using Odin
2. Make Nandroid backup using CWM
3. Flash GB-stock-safe, then flash Overcome kernel 4.0.0.tar using Odin for both (do I do these separately or is there a way to flash them together?)
4. Place MIUI v4 ROM and GApps etc.. on Tab's SD card.
5. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data and flash ROM.
6. Flash GApps and patch's etc...
7. Reboot into ROM
If it doesn't reboot into MIUI I need to reflash the ROM as the first flash converted my Tab to MTD? Is that correct?
Hopefully I have got it,
Thanks in advance,
Cam
Actually, am I right in saying CWM isn't fully supported on P1000? What recovery should I use?
Sorry for all the questions again,
Cam.
Cwm is contained in kernel.
If you are willing to forgo backup, must start with GB stock safe v5
Then overcome kernel.
By then you have a cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Got it all installed/flashed last night. Went all ok and I worked out that the kernel included overcome cwm after reading a guide from the link in your Sig.
I suppose its good that I love the ROM too
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
Cam.
