hi all
Just got my note and love it. ..any recomeded apps or patches etc. ..
Thanks all and helloo
For me I flashed rooted gb, flash ics repack and then flash stunner. Stock GB was terrible and the audio quality was painful. This rom looks, performs better and the audio is awesome

Wrong section dude. There is one section dedicated to apps and customizations for the note.
For now stay away from customized ROMs (not reccomended for newbies)

He does have a point. If you don't know what you are doing then you could easily turn your new phone into a paperweight. I would recommend you read. Read A LOT about ROMS and kernals and everything else that goes into the custom modding of your phone before you try anything. That's how i started and flashing new stuff is a walk in the park at this point.
Yeah I would stay away from flashing etc. Me being a total newbie on android and on note I'm waiting till official ice cream sandwich release and maybe start to play around with all the advanced goodies. I used iphone since day one and jailbreaking seemed pretty easy but I'm little intimidated by android stuff :/
If you must have urge to play with it try searching on this forum for step by step guide, or try http://rootgalaxynote.com/

Mate, first of all, welcome. You've got yourself one of the best pieces of kit on the market... Prepare to be amazed!
What are you after from your note?
If it's media, check out power amp for music, moboplayer for video, maildroid for email.
For basic customisation, and check out Dr ks thread for rooting and Chainfire kernal installation which will prove good for any customisation. Think it's in the stickies. Ics is awesome, but not without its problems especially installing so best check out the precursors.
Welcome dude, may you have lots of fun!

I will start to read up and explore the world of andriod. ..as i understand there will be a update ssoon.. Ics. Will the note self update or will i have to sort myself. ..also ive seen sky go working on a note but cant find it in app store( whoops) market..?
Ps love the way this phone works
If you would like stock gingerbread, flash lc1 or lc2. Im using lc2 its a very smooth fast rom with at lease one and a half days battery with normal use. But like everyone said read alot until u understand how to flash. Read how to flash lc1 or lc2 because newer roms u need to be already rooted before u can flash them and keep root.

yeah, as the title says, THANK YOU SO MUCH to each and every developer, tester and whatnot at that thread, this is my first post buy i've been lurking around this place for quite some time now, I got my X10 back in november but I checked this place long before november.
I just installed Gingerbread on my X10 and, since I'm such a newbie down here, I wanted and felt like doing a thread to say thanks to everyone, I'll be testing the ROM and come back to report any crashes, bugs and stuff I might encounter.
cheerz
Yeah it sux that genuine people can't report bugs in the Dev thread as you need 10+ posts so you have to spam to get your post count up
Pretty stoked to try the 2.3 update on my x10! Currently using 2.1 with the stock multi touch upgrade and it has been working well. How has the 2.3 been working for ya so far?
I have also been trying every version so far. I am just now testing CM7.0.0 J016 K006.
I don't know if any one is checking this but I had the same problem with wifi that several others had. Also I could never get the camera to take a picture

So, at the moment I have a Desire running CM7, and I LOVE it, I simply can't ask for more. However, upgrade day arrived today and I called Orange and ordered an S2. Read a few reviews of it beforehand and the specs just blow me away.
Any one have any useful advice from going to a Desire to a Galaxy?
The SGS does not have Sense do not go looking for it .

FIRST THING when you receive your beast, flash 2.3.4 gingerbread. Excellent battery life and performance.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I'd disagree when I flashed to 2.3.4 I could almost see the battery go down as I used it and instantly flashed back to 2.3.3
However a lot of people are getting better battery life so maybe you might be lucky but personally speaking stick to stock first see how you get on and then flash a new rom.
The official 2.3.4 should be out this month
2.3.4 is not a Samsung release only a leaked test rom .
Personally i would learn before flashing and be able to recover to stock/original firmware for warranty purposes .

Went from a Desire to the SGS2 and haven't looked back since. I think it's a great move. In contrast to what you read above, I'd recommend to stay stock for a while. Learn a little about touchwiz. TW is just as smooth, maybe even smoother, than CM7 on the Desire, believe me. There is really no advice to give, they are both great devices, but you will love the SGS2.
Upgrade
Upgrade to a custom rom, they are muuuch better, keeping in mind the warranty problems and such. I´m running a custom 2.3.4 and it´s perfect.
How about the issue on gaming? Does 2.3.4 got better game support?
Is rooting the only way to remove the Orange apps?

Hi Guys
been out of the scene for some time. ive been a member since the palm treo era. been so busy at work and was sunk into the iphone world. and im tired of the cat and mouse chase regarding the unlock and jailbreak scene. recently, i just fell in love with the SGS2. just ordered the white unlocked version from a UK source. been doin some reading recently bout rooting and mods.
i believe it comes with ginger bread rom and looking around youtube, it seems to be a nice rom. but maybe in the future i would eventually root it and install a custom rom. ( any suggestions?...) any one running the ICS?
oh well im just excited im getting a bad ass phone!

Welcome back
Don't think you have to wait long for an official Samsung ICS, but if you can't wait take a look at this:
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/New-Android-4-0-3-ROM-leak-by-Samsung-for-Galaxy-S-II-I9100XXLP2-Download-Screenshots-Video-
Welcome on "our side". ;-)
As for the roms, well, here is a quick-start-guide:
1. Full TouchWiz-based ROM's like lightning and checkrom.
2. TouchWiz-based ROM's with less preinstalled apps like gingermod.
3. CyanogenMod 7 for gingerbread and 9 for ice cream sandwich
4. MIUI for a totally redefined UI.
I had them all and liked them all. There were just some that I liked more than others, and before I give you a biased tip, I'd say that you should try all out by yourself.
Installing custom-roms is a piece of cake on that device.
Have fun!

Welcome,
You'll love the phone it's a nice bit of kit.
User above has explained the rom side ill explain the kernel side,
Most basic stock, intratechs thread all stock roms and kernel odexed versions.
Looking to root or maintain a stock kernel with root, busybox etc CF Root by Chainfire.
Looking for a stock like kernel, with tweaks and good performance and battery checkout SpeedMod or Phenomenal which is based on Speedmod.
If you like tinkering with kernels then Phoenix, NEAK and SiyahKernel all very popular and can adjust them in many ways for your liking.
Most of all enjoy, you'll soon start flashing and testing out various things.

thanks guys! just found out that my phone was dispatched already by DHL hopefully ill get it in 3days from UK to US.
just also ordered a DL jig on ebay just incase i need it to restore to factory for warranty purposes.
thanks sniper for that list. would definitely try it and see what suits my taste.
nice one nikz - as far as these kernels, are they all compatible with the roms that sniper listed?
thanks again!
It depends on the kernel.
I doubt any of them is compatible to CyanogenMod 9.
The Siyah-kernel is compare to all other tho.

Only official kernels work with any ics rom. No custom kernels until kernel source is released by Sammy.
As for rom/kernel combos, I got the best battery out of cm7+siyah kernel after undervolting and stuff. Cm9 is just too good to pass up. Still getting a full day, but not 20ish hours heavy use like I did with cm7.
As far as I know all gb kernels work for all gb roms, but I would check each one. The difference is Samsung based or cm7 based(miui)

So.. here's a video I made with screencast for those who are still waiting to flash the ROM and want to see whats in it.

I removed all of the useless apps using Anttek app manager from the market.
The widgets and wallpapers are exactly the same as the Gingerbread ROM
The bug when changing lockscreen wallpaper is still there

Great.. was looking for this. thanks for the update
I am using ISC from yesterday and I think it is very useful!

I know where you're coming from, but I think Samsung would get a lot more grief if they fundamentally changed the launcher as part of the ICS upgrade.
Which makes more sense: keep the launcher the same and annoy a relatively small number of geeks (who have the knowledge required to install a replacement launcher anyway) or change the launcher and annoy the much larger group of "regular" users who treat the device as a tool rather than as a toy?
Your right but i think they should keep the look and feel of tw but add some more options to it. So that tw by itself is more customizable and so there is even no need for new and old users to search an alternative
Have been running ICS for a while now.. and it just slow down my device.. Offical ICS = ****
Thanks for the video!
So.... today i dropped my phone (htc desire HD) and smashed the screen
and it really annoyed me for such a stupid mistake so i decided to cheer myself up and get another t mobile line out.
worst thing is my contract runs out in august so i only had a few months to wait.
but anyway.... i took the 2nd line and choose the galaxy note.
few questions.....
what will this start on? will it be 4.0.4 or will it be 3.2 something or other?
if its the 3.2 how hard is it for me to get straight onto 4.0.4?
will i need to root it?
I'm based in london, UK for anyone that might need to know.
note don't run on 3.x, most likely you will get a 2.3 phone. 4.03 was released few days ago in germany.
enjoy the wiki while you are waiting for the phone.

reason i went for note was....
I have a phone and a tablet, when im out i use my phone (htc desire HD)
indoors i use my tablet, so i thought i'd get something that can do what my tablet does, thats why i chose the note.
I do like the look of the s3, BUT... i want a bigger screen and the note is perfect for what im after.
all i want now is a link to where i can get this 4.0 from? as once the note arrives to me on tuesday, i really dont want the 2.3 crap that comes on it.
So can anyone guide me to the right thread/place ect, so i can update my new galaxy note to 4.0 ???

Nope, running CyanogenMod9 with no problems at all! Gotta be careful though, be sure to read the warning sticky before doing any flashing. It is a bit of reading, but it can very well prevent you from hardbricking/superbricking your shiny new Note.

You can, but the official ICS update contains an unsafe kernel that has already claimed Notes (don't know the details, but it's related to doing stuff in recovery). I wouldn't recommend official ICS if you plan on rooting/flashing.
