[Q] paranoid note user wanting to install paranoid android

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:

Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

Cool thanks, I will just do that when the time comes then, for some reason this phone is no where near as laggy as the last one, and I have all my apps I had on the other device plus more....

Welcome back mate, glad you got it sorted

Lol yeah...i only had the phone a fortnight......on contract whoops lol
So is it still okay to root through cwm and then use mobile odin? Are there any decent roms out yet that have decent s pen usage?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

Thanks ST, so am I right in thinking if I go the cm route then I don't have to flash the kernel first. It will do it for me? So all I need to do is root it and get a safe kernel?
Is there a free mobile Odin app, I looked on the market but there is only the pro version...

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.
Think mobile Odin is only a paid for app... well worth it though. Check the forum, chainfire usually releases free versions to xda community.

If you asked me. I like the stock firmware not cm9 paranoid. Because you will lose your S-Memo, S-Note and S-Planner and also your myfiles and also the MHL. All of this features are important for me. Paranoid is cool firmware but you will loose this apps...

Download the MF9 tar file and install through odin to return to stock and start over unless you have a nandroid you can restore. Sounds like there is something corrupted in your files and it will be better to start from scratch.

Thanks can u give me steps on how to do that and should I run the pit file in Odin too? I saw that some where

Have you tried this with other tw roms or aosp roms? Also you might want to downgrade to twrp 2.5.0.2 since 2.6 is a bit buggy
Edit: here is the link for twrp 2.5.0.2 I got it from sacs rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c9fqr1b8q63cjt/TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip
Just flash it in twrp and your good to go
Also flash kernel to see that is also the problem.

So I should try flashing another rom to see if it fixes the problem?

Try going to the dialer and typing *#0*#
This will bring up a test menu. From here you can test the touch screen.
After flashing a new rom rry it as well. This will test if it is the rom or not too. If it works theee but not ar other times it is probably the rom.

[Q] How come my phone crashes on AOKP?

I've been using ROM's for 2 months or so. Ive unrooted/re-rooted my phone twice because of recovery being extremely slow. I've started using the KitKat AOKP rom and thats the only rom that seems to crash my phone. Ill be using my phone when *poof*, it crashes my phone. This will happen every 15min when im using my phone. I was told it might me my recovery, but the only way i can root is through Odin or the goo.im app. I cant flash my recovery using commands because my PC just wont do it, it can recognize fastboot commands but it wont do nothing. I really love AOKP roms. Help please! :fingers-crossed:

Used AOKP on this and it crashes before it could even finish setting up, like showing me the home screen.

What exactly do you mean crash? Does it reboot? Freeze and require a battery pull? etc...
And what do you mean by recovery being slow?

The recoveries response is pretty fast now thanks to Philz Touch (thanks btw), i mean ill just be scrolling through my phone, doing anything
practical and it will just freeze and reboot. Ive frozen looking through setting, looking at music, and just going on snapchat, its frozen on the lockscreen as well.

Sounds like a kernel or OC/UV issue. Try playing around with different ones and see what happens.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I was having the same problem on AOKP. I even flashed the 4.3 ROM thinking I would correct the problem there and then move up to 4.4. No luck. I can't remember if I was using Philz at the time though. The main reason for this post is that when I would have the random reboot, the screen would kind of start dimming out. I could see three bars of graphics that would blink out and then the phone would reboot. Sorry for the poor description but wanted to add it in case it meant something beneficial to someone else.

[Q] Hyperdrive ROM for MK2.

Im running a Safestrapped MK2. I'd love to run Hyperdrive. Which version should I use? I see people pointing others to the verizon thread all the time. There is a link titled "Safestrap" over there. But it also tells you to download and use the AT&T compatibility pack with it, and for those of you who don't know. There is no link to a compatibility pack there.

Ok. If you remember how you did it would you be able to share your experience please? I am still on mf3 and have listened to many people who claim its not worth going to 4.3/mk2. Honestly I stopped using Safestrap, because I didnt want to divide my internals space to add another alot. I tried a couple roms in slot 1 but really like the way Hyperdrive looks. By the way...did the note 3 launcher work for you or did you use the s4 touchwiz launvher option in aroma? Thanks.

Idk I like the Google edition Roms because its close to stock and you can flash gpe Roms on mf3. I'm running shostock right now but I had HD12. You have to download HD from the Verizon forum under the safestrap version then do the necessary steps to run it in safestrap like any other ROM. I would create a ROM slot first and test it out, you have to input att APN settings to get data to work and flash mk2module to get WiFi to work. Yes note 3 launcher works but I just used nova launcher over it.
