SCH-i905 Users - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

I am new to posting in the forum but have recently forged ahead into custom ROMs. I went from stock ICS to Pershoot's CM10 10/30 build and now on the latest 11/9 ROM. So far it works pretty good. I documented the process if anyone is interested.
It looks like there are two active JB ROMs (Pershoot's & AOKP) on the Dev thread. Just wanting to get some interaction around this SGT10.1 model.
Thanks to Pershoot. Sorry, can't post in the dev thread yet.

The only thing about Cm10 builds across the board is battery life due to the way wakelocks seem to be handled. I'm sure that eventually things will work out. For now the degree of battery drain sometimes gets exasperated on our device because of the LTE modem so I have found it best to keep certain things frozen when the tablet is not in use like logging out of Talk, freezing Maps and turning off location services along with enabling airplane mode. I am not a user of other things that require a lot of data during sleep like Facebook, twitter or other instant messaging services so generally I get adequate battery life doing these things though not as good as with HC.
One thing is certain, I have never enjoyed using the tablet as much as I do now with Pershoot's build. The responsiveness and stability is fantastic. This is the way the tablet should have shipped from the start.

Agreed. Battery depletion seems to be greater on the custom ROMs vs. stock. Turning off location services shuts down the constant Wi-fi activity when the screen is off and tablet idle for a long time. I purchased Better Battery Stats to help figure out where I can conserve battery.

Thanks for your input recoil1911. I am interested in your documented installation process. Currently I am using the stock rom (rooted) but have been thinking of going to a custom rom.

I am interested in seeing your documentation. Do these builds work on OCD 4.0.4?

Yes. You must be on ICS before installing these ROMs. I am on business travel right now but I should be able to post my notes by end of the week.

ClockWorkMod Recovery Installation:
• Boot tablet and ensure there is enough battery​• Turn off USB debugging in the SGT10.1​• Connect the USB cable from PC to tablet and copy/paste the latest p4vzw CM10 ROM zip file and CM10 Google apps zip file to the root file system of the SGT10.1​• Power down tablet and disconnect USB cable. Power it up by holding down the Power button and Volume Up button (Closest to Power button) simultaneously.​• When Samsung Galaxy logo appears release the power button only​• Once you see the two recovery/download icons you can release the Volume Up button​• The Android icon should be flashing. Press the Volume Down button (Furthest from Power button) to select download mode and Volume Up to acknowledge warning message. It should indicate awaiting for downloading.​• Start ODIN (run as Administrator) and connect cable from PC to SGT10.1. You should see yellow highlighted in the COM port and a COM port number.​• Browse in the PDA slot to the latest CWM recovery “recovery.tar.md5”. Make sure the only checked options are “Auto Reboot" and “F.Reset Time”​• See the next step before proceeding. Click the start button in ODIN. It should quickly complete and show a green “Pass” message and the table will automatically reboot.​• When the SGT10.1 reboots and before or during the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously to return to the recovery/download icons.

Go back to main menu.​• Select “reboot system now”. The startup logo will go for a while and app optimization will proceed..​• Finished. You should be Jelly Bean operational.​
Observations:
I did have a situation where the tablet would always go into stock recovery instead of CWM after installing CWM. If you run into that same situation let me know and I can provide some direction.
CM10 nightlies can then be installed in the Android System settings "About Tablet" -> "CyanogenMod Updates" section

• Must be on stock ICS (v4.0.4) before initial flash to CM10 ROM because of the LTE modem
Might be a stupid question but, I am already running [ROM] [JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW] 4.1.2 AOKP for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Do I still need to be on stock ICS before I flash this? I understand that I do need to update CWM via odin. Thanks!

I wouldn't think so. You probably flashed from ICS when you went to AOKP. After updating CWM I suggest factory wiping and clearing both caches before installing CM10. CM10.1 for the p4vzw is out but I would stay with CM10 for this transition.

That's what I thought. Yep I was on stock ICS before flahing AOKP. On AOKP my tablet will not deep sleep. Looks to be a modem lock. I hope CM 10 has better battery life Thanks for the reply!

I have run into this and have not figured it out? What did you do?
I'm also looking for the official ICS OTA that I can flash.

To fix the CWM boot issue. I did have to install root first by downloading and flashing su from here. http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Install "Root Browser Lite" from Google Play
Run "Root Browser Lite" and navigate to the "system/etc" folder
Select the file "install-recovery.sh" and view it. Select "RB Text Editor" to open it..
After the line "#!/system/bin/sh" add a new line and enter "exit 0". Save the file and exit.
Power off tablet, power up into recovery/download mode.
After doing these steps I noticed it still booted into stock recovery. I ODIN'd CWM once more and then it worked fine after that.
Your should have received a firmware upgrade notice when you search for updates.

I'll give it a try, thanks.
That did the trick. I was able to root ICS without error for the first time. Before I always had to install HC then root it and then update to ICS via OTA which took days before the ICS OTA would pop up sometimes. Backed up a clean copy of ICS now so I'll not deal with that again.
Thanks.

[How To] Root DL09 flash DL30 ROM - Fascinate

I have debated if I would just wait for the official DL30 update. But I bit the bullet. I decided on the 4th. I was having issues getting the custom recovery to stick, so I ended up just combining both of them. It almost seemed like there was file consistancy checks upon the fascinate booting up. I have gathered my information and files from XDA-Developers. That is a great site for anything about smartphones.
All credit goes to nitsuj17, OMJ, Syn Ack, and punk.kaos this is just what I needed to do to get my phone rooted and flashed with punk.kaos's DL30 ROM.
Original Posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913670 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499
****************************************************************************************
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DOING. THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY OF YOUR PHONE.
THIS IS JUST THE STEPS I DID TO GET MY PHONE TO FROYO.
THIS IS FOR VERIZON ONLY PLEASE DONT USE IF YOU ARE NOT ON VERZION
****************************************************************************************
Files Needed:
Samsung Drivers
Odin
CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5
update.zip
su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip
DL30_leak.zip
new_cwm.zip
1.) Install the Samsung Drivers
2.) Place Odin3 v1.3.exe and CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5 in the same folder on your pc
3.) Place the update.zip, su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip, DL30-leak.zip, and new_cwm.zip in the root of your sdcard (root means not in any folder just on the sdcard)
4.) Put your phone in download mode by taking out the battery. Then hold the volume down button while plugging it into the usb cable attached to your computer
5.) Open Odin
***************************************************************************************
THIS IS IMPORTANT > DO NOT TOUCH ANY SETTINGS IN ODIN, ONLY USE THE PDA BUTTON AND THE START BUTTON.
IF YOU TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS IN ODIN YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
***************************************************************************************
6.) So press the pda button then select CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5
7.) Press start (Note this will reboot your phone when complete)
8.) Power the phone on while holding the entire volume button down. Let go of the power button when the Samsung logo shows but keep holding the whole volume button.
9.) This will boot you into the stock recovery. Use the volume rocker to move down to apply sdcard:update.zip then press the home key
10.) After it applies you will be in clockworkmod recovery
11.) Use the volume rocker to navigate to install zip from sdcard. This time though you will use the back key to select. (I know it is annoying that there are two different select keys but get used to it)
12.) Navigate down and select choose zip from sdcard
13.) Navigate to su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip press back to select it
14.) Navigate down and select Yes – Install su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip
15.) Once that is done press the search button to go back a menu
16.) Next, go back to the main menu and choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", do this twice for good measure. Then choose "Wipe Cache Partition", do it twice for good measure, it doesn't hurt anything.
17.) Once in Recovery, choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" > Then locate your "DL30.zip" file that you downloaded earlier. Choose it and then hit YES. Once complete, takes less than a couple minutes usually.
18.) FINALLY, choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" > Then locate your "new_cwm.zip" file you downloaded earlier. Choose it and hit YES. YOU ARE DONE!!!!
Reboot the phone and enjoy your rooted, bloated, official copy of Verizon Froyo.
For the record, this update ONLY works with DJ05 and DL09 radio. Meaning you must download and flash it to your phone if you do not have it or you won't get texts and probably won't be able to make calls.
I am working on my own hybrid ROM that is taken from punk.kaos’s and adrynalyne’s customer ROMs.
It will remove all the bing from the phone but will keep Samsung’s TouchWiz. I am also thinking about integrating the Hulu app.
Stay here and I will keep you updated.

At no point during steps 7,7,8 can you let the phone boot into the os... everyone is getting screwed up with this (including me). the op should have pointed this out. something in dl09 doesn't let you boot into cw the old way. flash cw via odin, then stock recovery update zip, then boot into cw, then flash froyo, then flash new cw. Confusing I know, someone around here explained it better.

Ok, yeah, what I did was flashed CW then let the phone boot up. I'll give your way a shot
edit:
It worked! You rock! I flashed CW with Odin, then immediately unplugged it, put the battery back in, held down the volume button and power button, applied updatezip, and got the CW menu!
Really I was just wanting to apply the root to the new update. This worked!
I really REALLY thank you, man!

All,
I have read these forums for months and now finally wanted to root and update to 2.2.
I haven't found the answer yet regarding what base setup I need to have on my Fascinate?
Can I do this with the following?
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
Baseband version:
S:i500.04 V.EA28
Kernel version:
2.6.29
Build number:
SCH-I500.EA28
I am sure you all might laugh however someone who hasn't payed real close attention would like to know the answer.

Good write up Thanks!
You should just flash DL09 back and backup and remove Active Care...keep EA28 out lol that'd what I've done...then again I don't use pattern lock so the emergency call bug isn't an issue.

It worked! Completely Amazing, For anyone who tries and sees it going REAL slow on Verizon Wireless screen...set it DOWN let it WORK lol!!!
Edit- If your already rooted, i personally suggest you backup all your favorite apps with Titanium Backup...simple easy quick re-install on all the favs
Can someone upload EA28 version(Factory restore) need to update but i don't want OTA,,thanksz

[GUIDE] Upgrade GSM P1000 to ICS

WARNING ONLY FOR GSM WARNING
I am not responsible for the bricked tabs, backaches, heart attacks or seizures which you may encounter while following these instructions. Do these at your own risk. And this guide is only for gsm galaxy tab GT-P1000 and not any other model.
I found that many people wre facing problems while flashing ics roms on their galaxy tab GT-P1000, so I thought of writing this detailed guide.
First upgrade to a stable build of Gingerbread 2.3.3. Do not use the GB stock safe package from overcome.
Then download this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/g-uW6vGt/...Q1-v33-CW.html
Extract it.
Download odin3 v1.7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
Then open odin3 v1.7
Select CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip as PDA
Turn off your tab.
Boot into download mode by holding vol down button and power button together.
Connect your tab to your computer.
Wait for the COM:ID button to glow yellow.(DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE)
Start flashing.
Wait for the COM:ID to show “PASS”
Download Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe_3.zip:
http://www.ravishare.com/1fragzl971e6/Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip.html
Then transfer Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe_3.zip to the your tab.
Turn off your tab.
Boot into recovery mode by holding Vol up and power button together.
Use volume keys to navigate and power button to select “Install zip from sd card” and then “Choose zip from sd card”.
Select Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe_3.zip.
Select yes.
Wait for flash to complete.
Reboot your tab.
Now download the ics roms like stimpz0r’s AOKP or cdesai’s Cyanogenmod and flash them via recovery.
You have now successfully upgraded your tab to ICS.
Press the thanks button.
And good news. Upgrading to Jellybean does not require you to flash Overcome.
Hi Gogol.
I know you always recommend against using overcome stock safe.
Which gb do you recommend then?
And this guy got his tab into bootloop following your method until he tried overcome gb stock safe and saved.

Well, the problem is that the bootloop occurs if the cwm i mentioned is flashed in the firmware of gb stock safe package. so i recommend against it

That means some people on a stable GB will get boot loop using cf method.
Unless you can list all known gb that is unstable... jq1 now in your first.

Hi! I have installed AOKP SGT7 - Build 40 using this instructions. The ROM installed fine without problems. However i found out that that i want to revert back to Overcome ROM. I tried to install it via Clockwork Recovery and it installed fine. The problem comes when i try to boot after installation.
After boot, the screen show only the AOKP lauch screen and the tablet doesn't boot.
Do i have to do the flashing with ODIN before attempt to install Overcome ROM again ?

Overcome is GB(Gingerbread) Based ROM while AOKP is ICS(Icecream Sandwich).......
Maybe this is causing errors ie; the sources are different.......
Maybe you need to Repartion using odin with correct pit file and Overcome Stock Safe

You need to follow the Overcome guide to the letter, including the re-stock. Has worked for me several times getting back to the overcome ROM.

I had overcome rom for several months and want to try cm9.
I flashd it as guided and all was fine til 1 hour or so after the flashing, then entered in endless booting.
I restocked several times and flashed the rom and had the endless booting problem again and again.
Only when i used the stock safe 5 from overcome i solved it and now cm9 runs ok. No bootings so far and i did it 2 days ago. The only thing is that wiped my internal storage, but i have tons of backups.
Overcome links do not work, at least i couldnt download from overcome page.
But as a cautious girl as i im, i have all the files in my pc. So , if anyone needs them or want to put them for download, junt send me a pm or an email. I dont know if it shows, so: [email protected]

Actually yes, using that pit file. The reason is, cm9 is mtd, while overcome is ext4. you can go from ext4 to mtd, but not back. the only way is reverting to bml using the pit file, and then flashing overcome
Thanks you very much.

Thanks for posting; everything works but my 3g. I flashed cm 9. Currently connecting to 2g only. Any advice?
Why do you need to flash cm9? Flash cm10... and to make the radio work, putnthe correct modem in the vendor folder...

[Q] Attempting to flash ICS333 - Stuck at CWM/Can't access SD card error

Hi all,
For the last couple of days I've been trying to flash my Galaxy S with ICS333 using the following guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25722239#post25722239
-----------
"3. Enter Download Mode, open Odin, check Re-Partition, press PIT button and browse for the PIT file, press PDA button and browse for the PDA file in the ROM folder, press PHONE button and browse for the PHONE file, press CSC button and browse for the CSC file and finally press START button.Wait till it`s finished and when the phone reboots disconnect from PC.
4. When the phone has booted into the ROM and you see the wizard screen just enter download mode again, plug your phone into the PC, open Odin, press PDA button and browse for the CF-Root kernel, press START button and wait for it to finish.After the phone reboots disconnect it from the PC, let it boot and when you`re in the ROM, set your phone to mass storage mode from settings>wireless & network>usb settings and plug your phone into the PC, copy the ICS333 ROM to your internal SD root location, assuming you have downloaded it from here : http://goo.gl/LuXvH and disconnect from PC.
5. Enter CWM, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and flash the ROM.You will notice the phone will reboot immediately because it will switch kernels, from CF-Root to Semaphore, prior to flashing the actual ROM.As a result, it will boot loop or get stuck on Semaphore logo, so just force it into CWM using the 3 key combo (no need to take the battery out).Now flash the rom again and wait till it`s finished and > Reboot to system!."
-----------
After performing stage 3 I waited for the phone to restart and understand that I should have seen a ROM/Wizard appear. This did not happen and now the phone just goes straight into CWM upon boot.
Whilst in CWM I get the error E:Can't mount /sdcard/ and non of the functions work. What should I do next? I've had a search around these and other forums but can't work out what to do. Don't want to just keep trying random things and end up making the situation worse.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

get back into download mode to flash a rescue kit or a JVU upgrade from My Android Collections also tick update bootloader
But First power down, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT SD card, press power button for a minute , than power up without SIM and Ext SD Card...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing
Thanks very much for the help. Used the darkyrom resurrection kit and it worked like a charm.

One last thing before I go ahead and try flashing ICS again. Can I go straight from darkyrom to ICS or do I need to put a Gingerbread installation on the device first?
Thanks again

Sorry to be a bother again but I now have a new problem. I have updated to CM 9 android version 4.0.4 which appears to function correctly but gives me no access to the sim card (can't see any phone numbers/contacts and won't connect to the network).
I understand that this usually has something to do with EFS settings (I took a backup of the EFS using GPS Aids before I flashed) which I have tried to restore using Nitrality but with no success.
I have checked the sim card in another phone and it works correctly.
Starting to think that this flashing business is not for me.
Any ideas as to what I should try next?
Thanks
Louis
You can change the efs folder via terminal but I found the easiest way (I had incorrect imei on hellybean) was..
Flash stock GB via Odin. Flash semaphore kernal via Odin. To get cwm.
Boot into recovery and flash cm7, boot into recovery and flash cm9, boot into recovery and flash cm10.
Obviously make sure you have cm versions on the card first. Efs corrupts when you don't flash in order example GB to JB missing out ICS. Doesn't happen all the time but that's usually the cause.
Worked like a charm for me.

[Q] Nexus 7 wifi

Im new to Android world, so please help me.
Now, my Nexus 7 Wifi is now unlocked and rooted by your tutorial, and
flashed Xenon HD Custom Rom.
I was in Jelly Bean 4.2.2 before. And i found some site that says
XenonHD is updated to 4.2.2 version, so i try to get it, and installed it to
my device. But after evrything done, i checked my device's version and it
says 4.2.1, but im sure i downloaded the right one, dated April 2013, as
far as i know. So, my device was downgraded to 4.2.1
Question:
a) Is it just that easy for downgrading an Android device? Because on
iOS, there are lots of concerns first before you can actually do
downgrading..
b) After installing apps, i made a backup with Nexus Root Toolkit, and
after the backup process, it reboots, and i notice that something is
wrong, the X animation logo goes somewhere at the lower right, and
when it goes to lockscreen, since im locked on landscape orientation,
half right side shows first then the half left side, youll really say that, it is
not okay. I tried rebooting by XenonHD settings, i tried to turn off and turn
it on again, same thing happens, what should i do?
c) About XenonHD, is it just one theme available? or i can download more
themes elsewhere? can somebody point me to where can i do that?
d) should i be re-flashing for XenonHD 4.2.2? How would i do that?
e) And what more can i do to my device to achieve it AWESOMENESS
Thanks in advance..
a) Yes, on many android devices it's that easy to downgrade. You don't need to jump through all the hoops like iOS requires you to.
b) Sounds like something may have gone wrong during the install process. Perhaps you could post a picture of what it looks like.
c) not sure, never used it.
d) Guess that's up to you. If it's an upgrade then it could fix the screen issue you're having. You'd flash it the same way you flashed the 4.2.1 version.
I'm sorry for spoonfeeding.

Yes. XenonHD says it's 4.2.2 though, so I'm pretty sure you flashed an old build or the dev forgot to edit some text to make it say 4.2.2.

Flash a different ROM or reflash your current one. Backups shouldn't have any effect on the ROM; if the backup app you're using negatively impacts your experience, switch it (I use titanium backup). TWRP recovery also supports nandroid backups.

From the ROM thread, it says it supports CM10.1 themes (theme chooser). Search "CM10 themes" on Google Play to find them, then go to your settings to apply.
zeneleven said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First, download the ROM to your device (if you haven't already), and google apps.
Make a backup of your data (nandroid or Titanium backup or some other backup app).
Then hold the power button, and select either "reboot"/"restart" or "recovery".
If you select "reboot" and no option for "recovery" comes up, hold down the volume down key while the device is restarting, then navigate using the volume buttons once the bootloader pops up, to the "recovery" tab.
Verify that the recovery installed is indeed TWRP (TeamWin recovery). If it isn't stop, and get TWRP before continuing.
Once your recovery pops up, select "factory reset", and swipe.
Then, select "install" from the menu that pops up, navigate to the folder labeled "downloads" and select the ROM file, and then select "add more zips", then select the gapps (google apps) file.
After that, swipe the little bar to start flashing, then after it's finished, select "reboot system".
Once the thing has properly booted into the setup screen, set it up, and restore your data.

Install M-Kernel and Trickster Mod (app).
Install Nova launcher.
Install fdroid (for freedoms).
Install MX Player.
Ive already re-flashed with XenonHD's latest update i think, and yeah its on 4.2.2. and still, got the lockscreen problem which i solved by changing the lockscreen orientation, locking it to portrait.. and got more error like "Apollo" and its launcher "has stopped" something.. and the voice dictation, exits when being used, wherever im in..
Now, im planning to switch to Cyanogenmod for 4.2.2, since it has few themes available.
About Kernel? Can someone help me how to do that? a great guide will be greatly appreciated, done searching and cant find it, i swear.
Thank you so much in advance

[Guide] A guide to KitKat

Hello, recently there have been a lot of posts requesting help with KitKat on our device. This is why I have created a guide going through the installation, setup, issues and many other aspects of KitKat on our phone.
1. List of KitKat ROMs:
OmniROM
CyanogenMod
ParanoidAndroid
SlimKat
Illusion Roms
C-RoM
SlimSaber
CarbonRom
Dirty Unicorns
MoKee OpenSource
Resurrection Remix
Asylum Omni
2. Installation
If you are on the stock Jelly Bean/ICS Samsung firmware:
-Download Philz kernel and copy it to your SD card
-Download a KitKat ROM and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Download PA-Google Apps and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Download Raw Kernel r5 and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Reboot to recovery by holding down volume up, power and home button at once until you are in recovery mode
-Flash Philz kernel
-Go to "Mounts and Storage" and format /system, /data, /preload
-Reboot to recovery again by going to "advanced", "reboot to recovery" or by holding down volume up, power and home button at once until you are back in recovery mode
-Flash Raw Kernel
-Reboot to recovery again
-Flash your ROM
-Flash PA-Google Apps
-Reboot
If you are on any AOSP based firmware or on any custom TouchWiz ROM:
-Download a KitKat ROM and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Download PA-Google Apps and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Download Raw Kernel r5 and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Reboot to recovery by holding down volume up, power and home button at once until you are in recovery mode
-Flash Raw Kernel
-Go to "Mounts and Storage" and format /system, /data, /preload (formatting /preload may fail, skip if it does)
-Reboot to recovery again by going to "advanced", "reboot to recovery" or by holding down volume up, power and home button at once until you are back in recovery mode
-Flash your ROM
-Flash PA-Google Apps
-Reboot
3. Updating your firmware
Updating your system is very easy, some ROMs (ex. OmniROM) have a built-in updater. Simply go to Settings, About phone and "Update". After that just follow the instructions on screen.
If your ROM doesn't support that option or you want to go old-school:
-Download the updated ROM to your internal/external memory
-Reboot to recovery
-Flash the ROM
-Reboot
4. Bugs, issues
When flashing any KitKat ROM I get a "Status 7 error".
You didn't follow the installation procedure carefully enough. You most probably forgot to flash Raw Kernel or you forgot to reboot to recovery after flashing Philz or Raw Kernel.
Sometimes whilst listening to music, the track freezes and I can no longer access it.
KitKat for our device has a bug in it where this happens. There is NO fix for this. Only a reboot will allow you to access the file again.
Refer to this thread for more information.
UPDATE:
The bug has been fixed however not all ROMs have merged the fix yet. If you are still having this issue then try flashing a kernel with the fixes merged (for example Forest Kernel or Raw Kernel).
Sometimes whilst copying files from my computer, the copying process stops.
This is the same issue as the above one with the music bug. One way to copy files without a problem is to reboot to recovery, go to mounts and storage and go for "mount USB storage". Copying through recovery is stable.
UPDATE:
The bug has been fixed however not all ROMs have merged the fix yet. If you are still having this issue then try flashing a kernel with the fixes merged (for example Forest Kernel or Raw Kernel).
I have battery issues.
This can be caused by many reasons, mainly your apps. Here are a few quick fixes though:
1. If your battery is at least a year old then it may be time to replace it with a new original one
2. Go to Settings, Wi-Fi, menu button, advanced and unmark "Scanning always available"
3. Install Greenify
4. If your ROM supports it, go to App Ops (On CarbonROM: Settings, Privacy, Privacy Guard, menu button, advanced) and disable the permission "keep awake" from as many apps as possible. Do not disable this permission from alarm clocks, email clients etc.
You can also disable other permissions, such as location which will also save your battery life
5. Install Titanium Backup and freeze/uninstall as many un-used apps as possible
6. Install Wakelock Detector to find out what is keeping your device awake
7. If you still have problems, refer to this thread
I haven't got ROOT access.
This usually affects OmniROM users. Download SuperSU zip and flash through recovery mode
I want access to Developer options.
Go to Settings, About phone and tap 7 times "Build number"
I want to change the runtime to ART.
Go To Settings, Developer options and find "Select runtime". Don't forget that the ART runtime is still in development by Google and bug reports shouldn't be filed against ROMs if you experience problems on ART
Every single time I change to the ART runtime, it doesn't change and stays on the current Dalvik runtime.
You have Xposed installed which is stopping you from changing it as Xposed is incompatible with ART. Uninstall Xposed to fix this.
I hope you have found this mini guide useful. If you still have any doubts, please don't hesitate to request more help in this thread.
If you have any suggestions as to what else should be included in this guide, don't forget to drop a line or two.
Nicely done.
Wow u really did a great one there. Hopefully this will be a great help to all "lost sheeps" out there. Well done!

Very nice, but I'm sticking with 4.1.2 for several reasons.
One, Samsung hasn't officially (and seriously doubt they will, device is almost 3 years old) released
4.4 to the Note N7000. I usually stick with stock roms (different kernel obviously).
Two, to get kk, you have to jump through some hoops to get it on your device. I'm not above doing it,
it's just too much of a pain, to have to load all the apps, settings etc. Should be a "drag & drop" or
just click, to install.
Three, pretty much every KK rom I've seen, for the N7000, has a glitch here, bug there, battery problem,
BT problem etc. I've heard people flash the same rom to two different N7000's and one works perfect, the
other doesn't.
Four, I've had 4.1.2 on mine, since the day it came out, and, without a doubt, it's been for my usage, pretty
much the most stable rom I've used. When I was younger, back in the 386/486 computer days, it was nothing
for me to spend an evening, tweaking front side buss settings, memory timings, config.sys & autoexec.bat files
to tweak 1-2 seconds of performance from a PC. Today, I'm just after decent performance, and STABILITY.
This device, sadly IS my lifeblood for work. I don't have time for rebooting, lock ups, glitches etc.
I'm shopping around for device...the Note3 was on the list, but the price (I don't do contracts anymore) is a bit
steep, along with getting one to work properly in the USA, means you almost always have to get a LOCKED
down at&t device, with features removed, bloat etc. Got a few on the radar, but I'll just keep going with the N7000.
I'll hate to put her out to pasture, she's been a good ride.

This is the wrong place to ask your question. Should've gone to troubleshooting section. Your situation might have been caused by ICS kernel. You should've flashed compatible CWM + franco's safe kernel or philz safe kernel n recovery first before flashing anything else in ICS 4.0.4

After flashing Raw Kernel r5 then you won't be able to boot into your old ROM, only recovery mode and download mode. I'm guessing you chose the wrong reboot option or you didn't follow the instructions properly (rebooting at the proper times for example).
Nice guide mate. Many thanks for your time giving.

Thanks for your guide..!
In the Omni wiki I read.
TWRP is the only recovery officially supported by Omni.
Is this included in the step by step manual?
Thank you
Now with Dirty Unicorns v7.5 !
Nice guide thanks.
Is it possible to flash after cm11, cm10.2 ? Or I have to change kernel or recovery things ?
Thanks

You already will have a superior recovery. So no need.
