Going back to GB - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I go back to stock GB, will my phone become faster?
Because I am now using SlimBean, and it gets really slow most of the time.
Since the phones' hardware is made really for GB, I wonder if I go back to GB will my phone becomes faster?
Thanks!

I also ask me that all the time but then I realize all the apps that will become unnavailable with GB.
It's your call, :good:

Well, the hardware itself wasn't "made" for GB as you know there r many devices with lower specs than Note that runs on JB 4.1/4.2 or even 4.3. GB will certainly give you a faster n more responsive feel. But like @igorescu04 said, with the daily development advancement, sooner or later it will be outdated to run new apps. But luckily, so far many still supports GB. So your decision really.

You don't need GB, you just need to format your device and try a new rom. You can find many good roms on xda (Jelly Bean or Kitkat) and your Note will be fast with most of them.

[Q] Hit the 5 month mark, should I finally root and lagfix?

I have noticed that when I click a button, I usually have to wait from 1-2 seconds before I get a response. Would lagfix take care of this? I'm running stock Froyo.
As many have stated all the lagfix does is help fix the very slow rts file system, it most likely would not help in your case.
Best thing to do is delete unused apps, and reboot the phone every day or to(seems to help mine out, cant guarantee results)
Also if you havent needed root in 5 months you probably don't need it
Unless you want to use opitimised roms, I dont see why you would need to root. Check your memory usage delete unused apps and reboot the phone ever once in a while.
My honest opinion, no reason to have an android phone if you are not using roms

Gonna have to agree with mcord here. had to go back to stock froyo for about 5 hours (didnt have all my tool to get back my 2.3.4 ROM) and it was horrible.
you might not be up for it but i really recommend flashing a Froyo Custom ROM from one of the xda DEVs. you'll love your phone and be amazed that it can be so much smoother and responsive.
First thing I did after i rooted was flashed a new kernel to overclock. Performance increased but battery life was poor. Then my first rom was cm7..been hooked since..tried miui once then went back to cm7.

This is what lagfix can do for your phone.
Im using stock mosaic V 2.3.4 rom with no overclock.

Providing arbitrary benchmarks does not seem like an actual reason to employ a lag fix.

No a Benchmark score is not the best example to lag fix your phone ,but the more power you get, plus better battery life and, better perrformance are great reasons to lag fix your phone. I just posted the quadrant score so kb0npw can see the increase performance from normal rfs file system to ext4(lag fix).

I dont think he thought it meant everything, he was giving a simple before and after which showed some improvement. Quadrant can actually be pretty useful when trying to gauge what effects certain changes have on your phone, say you score a 1900 before you change 'x' and then 2200 after that change, then you know its increased performance somewhat and youre moving in the right direction. How much it has increased your performance is debatable, however. My point is quadrant can be a useful tool when making changes on your phone if you take it with a grain of salt.
EDIT: To answer op's question, Read up on some custom roms and flash one, the difference is phenomenal and you'll wonder how you went 5 months without them. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me and I'll see what help I can be

[Q] galaxy note - fast under ICS?

Hello,
after asking some info about the the battery on airplane mide, I ha now some question about ICS.
I have tested today the galaxy note, in a shop, running under android 2.1 or 2.3 ( I don' t remember...)
the device was so slow to use. it was really really slow. a lot of lags,the behavior was not good.
is the galaxy note faster with ICS?
thank you
olivier
There are varying opinions. Personally i found it smoother generally although was using launcher7 instead of touchwiz. The task management is fantastic. If youre looking at stock ics, samsung in their wisdom have skinned it exactly the same as gb which really annoyed me!
There are settings to select if you want hardware image decoding or software, i have a feeling its glitchy if using software.

Need a detailed stock JB review

I am among those who waitrd and shouted so much about this upcoming JB.
I never tried a leak version and waited for the official release. Now that there are 3 baseband versions of official stock JB. I flashed it but didnt like it much. I like the older GB and ICS UI. The new UI is making my screen look small.
The only one thing i like in the new update is the multi window. I as told that spen will be better in this update but my spen is way better on ics. I can occassionally feel a lag and ram usage is always on the higher side, which makes me wonder if the new update is worth having.
Cant we just port the desired feature on our ics. Since the source code for the JB is out.
I want u people who are using stock JB to share their experience with the update

I love it, its amazing how battery life is saved with squeaky save clean install, butter not as nexus but still ok, phonecall/reception uncompromized for my unit. Exynos bug still there.
New features once used to it awesome. for the rest read entire thread above.

Can it take anymore ?

Developer community, hi, I had the S1 for about 2 years and still do, its very good phone yo know , however, what ever I do its too slow! I'm running Android 4.2.2 with over clocked CPU and 400+ of RAM, and sometimes when I leave a small app to main, it take sometime to load the launcher,so what's wrong? Was Google right when it stopped the Nexus S updates at 4.1.2 because it can take any farther? Does project better even exist? The fastest ROM I had ever install was ICS RC2 which worked perfectly (I could run MC3 at background then leave and do some thing else, then want back and its where I have lift it) but I had datadata problem and I had to try something els. Know a days ,some new flagships had less specification than S1 and work smother!, in short words: can I make my phone faster ?
All thanks and appreciates to whom worked to develop this great phone.

Yup, Some LG and Sami phones came with the same or less specifications

Well, the more recent phones that come out right now for the low-end market are running alot newer chips than the S1 has. In my opinion, you shouldn't go to far with flashing newer versions of Android. But on the other hand, everyone wants to be on the most recent version of Android. Google had a reason for not pushing 4.2 to the Nexus S. Other manufacturers don't bring out updates for newer phones (for no reason), but Google had a good reason, because the Nexus S' hardware is outdated.
Unfortunately i doubt you can get your smoothest experience in 4.2.2.
If you want pure smoothness you should try a custom 2.3.7 as that would be ideal although i reckon 4.0.4(cm9 base) would do quite a decent job as well.
You have to try out different ROMs and see what best fits your needs.
Is a way that i use it and is good and smooth
But if expect like sg3 no it's not exactly like that but it's close. And don't disturb u
Cause our hardware's are a part of history
I installed 1.2gb apk and work smooth mostly software not game
First;
Buy a sd card high class 10
Format internal storage
Install cm latest version 4.2.2 with Odin
Install kernel like fishear
And set it up
Install cyanDelta
Install auto memory killer and set in optimum value
Install Roehsoft apk and make virtual memory on your external SD
Also never install any luncher cause it's own luncher is very light
and enjoy it
is good for daily works And smooth

Of course 4.2.2 isn't going to be perfect. Pushing Project Butter onto our phone was a feat in itself. The smoothest 4.2.2 I've tried is Slim Bean, which really is pretty amazing. But don't be surprised about the fact that the phone can't handle Jelly Bean as well as it should. Its 3rd year anniversary is approaching fast.
Its still a wonder our single-core can handle it fine.

Hei man I dont know what roms are you using but try thinkingridge stable by aways and the c-rom mix 18...everything is stable at 55 frames per second in the ui...and ofcourse your phone will slowdown if you put a lot of stuff in it...its normal...you cannot pretend that is going to be fast as when you fresh install the rom..my girlfriend's iphone 4 is stock,no mods but still it lags a lot more than my VERY OLD I9000 ...
By the way anyone can give me some advices on a gingerbread rom?a kickass one? I saw a couple of releases in this days...they should be good considering that the developers had plenty of time to improve stability and performances...
Thanks
Speed depends on the kernel/rom your using and the way your using it. My suggestion is GamerzRom and use the greenify app. Try it and you ll see. Ive never had a faster rom!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
whatever you decide to do dont use task managers...they just mess with the android sistem and android knows better than you when and how to kill a process...
True i found out that task managers dont really work well
Greenify works the best and alot of people use it

Hey there,
I HAD the same problem. The 2/3 changes I made was
1.UNDERClock to 800mhz (less stress on phone and less lag
2. Use Nova launcher as default
3. I am running slim bean latest and its fantasiltic
My phone has never run better
Stay away from themes though.
FYI I am a massive app hoarder so you may have a hundred apps on your phone and blame it on that but probability 9/10 isn't.
Hope I helped

[Q] Why do so many people upgrade to JellyBean?

Isn't it too much for a device with 512mb of ram?
I'm using ICS, give me a good reason to upgrade...

First of all JB is MUCH faster than ICS,
about ram: with ICS you have 398.7 max ram and in JB you will have 409 with big mem and 439 max with no cam.
try it and you will feel the different, if its too much then samsung said its too much for our device to go with ics so why you are running it :laugh:
Nothing special
juz we wanted to move forward, not backward or stay where we are forever. thats all
I have to say, Google Now and expandable notifications are pretty damn awesome. The former you can get on ICS (though I've never managed to get it working) but the latter, big reason to upgrade to at least 4.1.2. Makes life a lot easier.
You'd be surprised what a phone with only 512MB of ram can take.
Also, some of the JB roms just fly. They're amazing and don't compromise battery life for speed *cough cough Gamerzrom @darkknigh_t *
