[Q] Help with my Galaxy Note

Hi, I need help with my Galaxy Note. I just buy secondhand Galaxy Note, it has XXLS2 4.1.1 rom for now. I want flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom on it. My previous phone was HTC HD2, so I'm used to flashing without limitation So, I need your help to tell me if I'm thing good about it. So, firstly I must flash Philz kernel for my phone, to get root and recovery. But for my rom is only version 2.7... is it safe to flash? And next I can just do full wipe, reboot, and flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom, yes?

You won't be able to flash a aokp rom using philz 2.7 as it will not install and error 7.
-Install Philz and gain root and cwm
-Then place all the required files to flash the rom to storage.
-Then flash a different safe kernel like hydracore or cm kernel.
-Boot into recovery and do wipes and formats and flash. the rom. (while on a different kernel you might not be able to boot into the rom. Just recovery)

And version 2.7 is safe? Why there is no 3.99 version for this rom? But when I finally flash PA rom, I can stay with kernel included in this rom? Or I need to flash cm kernel second time? I'm going to make backup before flashing new rom, but I'm just wondering if I can normally recover this on PA rom or I need to flash stock philz kernel before restoring... So the "diffrent safe" kernel may be "Kernel_CM10.1_20130126_Nightly_CWM.zip", yes? It will work with aosp based pa rom? I'm going to flash 2.99 version...

Yes 2.7 is safe. Just that it cannot install some roms.
Because it's and old kernel.
Yes stay with the kernel included in the rom
Yes PA has a safe kernel and the backup can be restored.
Any kernel like hydracore or cm will do.
Also 2.99 PA might not to that's stable. So.. Your choice. You can use and older version like 2.57 as well

Actually Philz 2.7 is ICS/older JB, and therefore not subject to error 7. Good to wipe and Flash ROMs with. (It's safe too)

[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.

[Q] Query regarding Arya Mod V5.5

i am currently using CM 11 on my Galaxy Note. but i have quite a heavy requirement for the camera in the phone and the camera that comes with CM is not that good. everything else is amazing. i found this Arya Rom based on TW and 4.1.2 JB and i can use the stock camera app i guess which was great when i used to have the stock rom. now the question is that thisnrom requires first reverting back to stock. i installed custom rom quite some months ago. so i dont rememeber any info abt the stock rom.i first used Asylum and the omni and then CM. so if i download the stock firmware now how would i know which one to download for my phone. i dnt remember that DDLSC or DDLS6 thing. Or does that code matters only while downloading Philz Recovery. And lastly can i flash Arya directly through my current recovery CWM 6.0.4.7. Please help

to flash arya, first with cwm 6.0.4.7 flash this kernel : PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed and reboot back to recovery (not to system) and flash arya rom, that's all.

If you are rooted then just flash ultimatum ROM .zip file
It has AROMA installer and it will ask you which kernel to install.
If you want to flash kernel separately then you can find the files on Ultimatum ROM page itself.

Glad you replied me bro
Thanks alot for the reply..
Sir
While Flashing Kernels, Should i look into BaseBand or Something related to it. I have DDKQ8. Well this ROM supports this ? How to check that
For installing CM 10.1 or 11, Latest CWM version i required. So for installing CM 7.2 Is CWM 5.2.0.6 is enough ? or i need to upgrade ?
Waiting for ur Helping Hands..

If you are running a Stock rom, root your device and flash CWM5 and then you'll be able to upgrade your firmware
With CWM5 (Stock rom e.g.) you can flash directly CM10.x and viceversa, so:
CMW5.x >>> Stock Roms/CM7.x/CM9./CM10.x
CMW6.x >>> CM11/Omni/Android 4.4.x

Kernel support for CM12.1 for Xperia SP with UBL ?

Hi,
I wanted to install CM12.1 in the 1st place but when I tried to install Tangerine Kernel, I got stuck up and the screen went blank with nothing. So I went on with Williams Kernel + CM11 stable version just to be sure that I don't brick my phone permanently.
I have been browsing through the forum, trying to know which Kernel to be used for CM12.1 ? Helium has versions like L and M which confuses me !
It would be really helpful if you guys clarify my queries,
Can anyone please let me know what Kernel and its version to be used with CM12.1 which is stable for daily use ?
Also can I go with huashan's latest nightly build for CM12.1 dated 2016-04-02?
Also I have another doubt in the installation sequence. After installing a new Kernel.zip from SD card through recovery, should I go ahead and install the ROM.zip at the same time or should I reboot my phone after installing the new Kernel and enter recovery again to install the ROM ?
Please help me understand.
I have unlocked bootloader + Williams Kernel + CM11 stable version currently on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using a new nightly of cm12.1 don't use tangerine kernel because is outdated. Use helium or the stock one. For helium: M means marshmallow, that's android 6.0.1. You have to use helium L. The l stands for lollipop, Android 5.1.1.
And, if you flash the kernel and then flash the rom zip you will overwrite the kernel, so at the end you won't install anything.
The installation is in the thread but afaik you have to flash first the rom zip and then the kernel.

Thanks @darjwx for the reply . You have mentioned that we need to flash rom.zip followed by the kernel.zip that is needed for the ROM. But how does the old kernel (Williams Kernel in my case) support the new ROM (cm12.1 in my case) ?
As per my understanding, we need a proper Kernel to run the ROM. Is it not like that ? Also ROM and Kernel shares different memory right ?

The rom zip comes with a kernel, so flashing the rom zip will install the new kernel.
Yep you can say that. But it's better to say that they are using different partitions.
