Thats it... A simple (but I want to do it without bricking my $600 phone) ROM flash.
This is the ROM I would like to install:
Stock Sense - 1.13.605.7 Basic DeBloat
Thank you. I give up trying to get help in IRC. Waste of time (except for Dr_Drache, he was very helpful)).
what part do you need help on? are you rooted?
yes, I am already rooted. I had a major malfunction in BAMF 1.6.3 this a.m. when a battery went dead. I replaced the battery and the phone went nuts... So I unrooted the phone and then re-rooted. I couldnt get help in the IRC channel to install this ROM I am asking about so I thought I would try to get some help here.
Thanks for replying.
I am not seeing the question here... Do you have rom manager installed? You could install simply from there. That's how I did my initial rom install.

Just download .zip place on sd card and flash using rom manager or manually on clockwork recovery.

Also be careful with this rom and other gingerbread roms because of the possibility of bricking your $600 phone. It's been reported the leaked radio was causing hard bricked phone (just an FYI)

Stock sense basic debloat ROM does not use the GB radio. And to install I would recommend not using rom manager to install it tends to cause problems.

Don't use Rom manager. Download the Rom. Reboot into recovery using Rom manager. Make a backup if you want. Wipe data. Wipe cache. Go to advanced. Wipe davlik cache and battery stats. Go to install zip from SD and select your Rom. When its done reboot.

I'm still not sure what the question is here...but i'll lay some steps out for you.
FIRST AND FOREMOST: HAVE AMPLE BATTERY CHARGE!! I don't flash with anything less than 50%. If you do, then continue at your own risk.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930 and pick out a ROM you think that you would like. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY GINGERBREAD ROMS. These are still in ALPHA.
2. After you have the ROM downloaded, plug your phone into you computer and put the ROM anywhere on your sd-card. I made a new folder called ROMs and put all my ROMs in there. This keeps things tidy.
3. THIS IS OPTIONAL, but saves you a lot of time in the future. Download Titanium Backup. I would HIGHLY recommend the PRO option. Costs money now, but will save you hours in the future. This program needs root. It will backup all your apps with their data so when you switch ROMs, everything is restored easily and fairly quickly. If you go with this approach, then open TB and backup all USER APPS with DATA. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS!!!
4. If you do not have Rom Manager, Download it now. Free is fine. Open up Rom Manager and make sure you have the latest Clockwork Recovery installed. If you don't, then install it. If everything is fine, click the option to boot into recovery. While some people use RM to install the ROMs, I find its better to do it manually.
5. When in Clockwork, go to backup and restore(hit power or home button to choose highlighted option). Choose Backup and let it do its thing.
6. When done, press the menu key until it goes to the main menu.
7. Choose Wipe data/factory reset and let it wipe the data. Do not worry, this will not touch your sd-card. All your pictures, movies, music, ROMs, and everything else on the sdcard will still be there.
8. Go into install zip from sdcard and choose "choose zip from sdcard"
9. Navigate to where you put your ROM from STEP 2
10. Choose the ROM and let it do its thing
11. Press Menu button to go back to main screen and REBOOT
12. ALLOW LOTS OF TIME TO LOAD UP. First boot always takes a long time, dont worry about it.
13. When booted up, ALLOW EVERYTHING TO LOAD. Now enjoy your ROM.
14. If you used Titanium Backup, get it from the market(if it isn't pre-installed). If you payed for it, you won't have to pay for it again as long as you use the same GMAIL account that you used before. All paid apps are saved to your gmail account. Restore all USER APPS with DATA. NOT SYSTEM APPS!
I am by no means a dev or claim to be a genius. I've been around since when the OG droid first came out and I'm just helping out. I am not responsible if something goes wrong. If anyone see's a mistake in this, please point it out or add a step if you want.

The rom can't be in a folder on your SD card when flashing it has to be on the root of the SD card.

Thanks for the replies. For not knowing what the question was, it sure was answered pretty thoroughly.
I did buy Ti Pro a while back and use it a lot. That should be no problem once I figure out why I am not rooted now. I did the whole routine yesterday and Ti cant get su for some reason now.... yay for that. I guess I will try the whole thing again. (It may be that I need to get the proper busybox for Ti Pro to work and be allowed su)
So if I have read this correctly, I will be alright with the debloat ROM I mentioned earlier right? Since it is not gingerbread based right?
oastl: You said don't use ROM Manager then after one sentence you then say to use ROM Manager.... Using ROM Manager to boot into recovery must be a different thing altogether I suppose...
Thanks again for the help... Very much appreciated!

If you're using CWR (which i think is the only option these days?) you totally can. Just choose "install from SD card" and it'll let you navigate your folders. I have a neatly organized "RUU" folder on my SD card. Certain things like radios need to pushed as pg05img.zip on the root of the SD card.

Well, with all the help, I did manage to get everything back as it should be. Thanks a lot for that too!
I got super tired of trying to get someone to answer me in IRC. I think I will just come here with my questions from now on and leave that place to those who have the patience for it.
I also got too used to BAMF I think because I ended up flashing to 1.7 anyway... 2.0 looks really good. I think that is still in Beta or I read the post wrong altogether...
So I'm using lfaber's Supercharged V5 ROM and I tried to add the Reboot option to the power menu (JRW's method).
I messed up when following the instructions, however. I downloaded the ZIP to my phone and then installed it from the SD card, but forgot to wipe the cache first like the instructions said. So I wiped the cache and then went back and installed the ZIP again.
When I booted back up, I got force close messages for what seemed to be all my apps. Is this because I messed up the instructions? And what should I do to fix it? Can I backup into SCV5 again like I did at first or should I go back to the stock deodexed 2.3.6?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Usually it will force close because of an issue with signing, not because of cache wiping... try flashing the different 1% battery mods. (Don't forget to wipe cache partition and Dalvik Cache)

I'm not able to get my computer to recognize that my phone is plugged in (I think I saw a 'usb' force close message as some point) and I can't access the XDA app or the internet with my phone. Any suggestion on how to get the ZIP onto my SD card so I can flash it?

Is everything force closing or are just Google/Motorola apps force closing? Just keep closing the notification windows until they stop.
There's three ways of getting the zip onto your SD card, two of which may not be possible...
-Use the Motorola "Phone Portal" app to "Connect with wifi" and transfer the zip from your computer to your phone via wifi.
-Use the browser to download the zip file and make sure you can find it on your sd card
-Use a microSD card reader to put the file on your sd card
However there's another thing you can do that should fix you up.
-Make a CWM backup
-Flash SCV5, then the update zip
-Use CWM to "advanced restore" "data".
This will fix you up on any system modifications but restore your apps/data.
I didn't have an sd card reader, so I just backed up my system, then backed up into SCV5 and flashed the update. Phone is running fine with no force close issues.
If I understood you correctly, what I need to do now is put a different 1% battery mod than the one included in the ROM and then flash the reboot option again?
I'm a little confused as to why the 1% battery mod is involved at all?
Also, restoring data via CWM didn't seem to bring back my home screen setup. Would I need to restore system in CWM for that? I'm guessing if I did that my force close issue would just come back though, right?
Thanks again for all your help.

Restoring a CWM data backup should bring back your homescreen setup, as it restores the entire /data folder... Interesting. Don't restore system otherwise your problems will comeback
Very strange, shouldn't be nothing with the reboot.zip that would affect any of that unless you got a bad download?

Yea, I got an error when I backed up through CWM, but it was just generic. I was more worried about having the phone working at that point than having everything backed up, so I didn't worry about.

Not at all. When I first released the reboot.zip it worked fine with V5 but I have always run my 1% vertical mod and when I flashed it I lost the ability to reboot with the power menu. So I then went back and modified all of my 1% battery mods to work correctly with my reboot.zip. you should have zero problems with them as long as they are mine or the one that comes with V5. I have not had a chance to test with anything on 2.3.5 yet though
The reason I first recommend you to flash a different 1% battery mod was because it re-writes any system files that the first flash may have messed up. Now that you're up and running again you don't need to do anything else.
It's odd that your homescreen configuration wasn't saved... what launcher do you use?

I use the one that comes with SCV5, Go Launcher. I was able to restore the home screen directly from the Go Launcher app. So at this point, I'm up and running, but I still don't have the reboot option. Should I just backup as is (with SCV5.1) and try flashing the reboot option again the same way I did before? I would just seem weird if I just did the same thing again, because why I wouldn't just have that same force close issue like the first time?

I second that. Do a CWM backup then redownload the mod, and flash it. The download may have been corrupted last time around.

Running the backup now. I will let you know how it goes and I'll make sure to do a fresh download. Thanks.
Edit: this worked perfect. I realized when I did the download again that originally downloaded via the QR code, so maybe there's something wrong with that? Or something wrong with my phones QR code reader? I used Goggles.
Thanks again!
I would say this debloat speeds this ROM up 100%
Try it for yourself
Download HERE
Unzip the files & Copy the stock-ics-rooted-debloated-deodex-zipaligned folder to your SDCARD or EMMC
Reboot to CWR
Wipe data/cache
Format /system
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Restore Backup
PLZ NOTE this FULL RESTORE WILL DELETE * from your EMMC pics/music etc.
**THIS WILL PROB NOT WORK from GINGER BREAD, but your welcome to try and let everyone know.
**100% Confirmed and working with AT&T ONLY if you have already did the ODIN ONECLICK ICS LEAK
Shouts to romracer for the deodexed dumps
ROM developers, feel free to use this, no need to ask me or thank me.. Its opensource for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird - I don't have any of the lag issues that other report, but I'll try this.
Does this also have the autocorrect fix?
Of course...the second I go back to GB this gets released.

@MHX - No MD5 Sum errors with your backup, restored fine. Booted normally (and fairly quickly i might add)
I went Cyanowiz CM7 with UCLA3 Modem -> Your CWR backup using your instructions no special steps.
Confirmed Working: Data & Service, Audio, Calls, Wifi, well... Everything
So we don't flash this correct? We just put it in the root and go to restore backup? Thanks in advance.

NO do not flash this. Goto backup menu in clockwork and restore.
unzip the file and put the folder on your sdcard or internal emmc then restore the backup
1) The first Rom I flashed was eagleblood. I put it on my SD card from my computer, then I put the SD card back in my phone and did the rest from there. Can we flash Roms without using the computer like if we download right to our phones on the website and then flash?
2)Eagleblood is the first and only Rom I looked at and flashed so far but after clicking the eagleblood link, there was about 7 or 8 different downloads. I guess I got lucky and chose the right one so I'm assuming the others were updates. So for the future, how do I distinguish between them and know which is the actual Rom download link?
3) Which is the best Rom?
4) How do I get my home screen to show in landscape view since I'm rooted now?
5) When flashing from Rom to Rom, how do I get all my apps, phone settings, and everything else back without having to take an hour to resetup everything? Can you explain the procedure if you are going to recommend an app for this? Right now I downloaded the free version of titanium backup so I'm assuming that would be it. I see where you can back stuff up with this app, but after switching Roms, how do I restore if the flashing of the new Rom will erase titanium?
6) Which apps would you guys recommend uninstalling from eagleblood that wont hurt anything?
Thanks guys.

1. Yes
2. The newest one. Look at the version numbers.
3. That's up to you to decide for yourself. Nobody's preferences are the same.
4.You could have done this before. It depends on what launcher you are using most of the time. Play around in the launcher settings.
5.Get the paid version of titanium. Use it to backup user apps+data. Settings and system apps don't normally respond well to a new rom. After you flash something new, get on the market and just download titanium again. Restore from your backup afterwards. All your apps+data will be back. Your phone settings need to be done manually to avoid errors.
6.If you're unsure about uninstalling apps, get the paid version of titanium and freeze the app instead. If it screws something up then defrost.
All of this info is already here. Poke around a little more.

Thanks for all the answers. How do we do it from phone?
I believe EB has a mobile site, so just navigate to it using your browser and download the appropriate files. They'll wind up on the SD card where you can just flash through CWM.
what ever you download from the browser it'll show up in SD cards/Downloads... it'll be in there and then from there you can move it or you can navigate from the CWM to there

Who or what is "EB"?
As for your answer to number 4......how do you get to the launcher settings? I'm not sure what those are.
EaglesBlood
and some launchers have a custom settings built in some don't, including the stock EB launcher!
Im curious as to which recovery is working the best with the Galaxy Note 10.1. Im not asking which is the best, but I see darkman has come out with a touch version of cwm and I have the latest TWRP...Only issue i have is that it doesnt see my cwm backups....I havent had any issues with it yet though...Im just curious thats all
I always preferred cwm.. it is more stable.. use to love with twrp when I had asus tf101 but sometimes I couldnt see my internal sd card and sometimes I couldnt mount system.. but just use what works for you..

Agreed. I've found CWM to be very stable. I loved to move to the touch version, though you have to be careful sometimes about accidentally touching an unwanted option. But since a confirmation menu comes up for each option that makes changes, you can easily correct it.
I have used CWM on all my devices and have worked without an itch so prefer CWM
Tried install TWRP on my device once it refused to install contacted the developers did not get the response so ditched it.
Twerp don't seem to get on with note .
But i would say their is very little difference between using TWRP or CWM for most users .
I use TWRP on SGS3 and CWM on Note .

I moved to TWRP awhile ago for my phones and currently use it on my Note. As far as stability goes CWM is much more stable, though I have it tried the touch version(thinking of checking it out though.) TWRP is a little wonky sometimes,but I think that's a sensitivity issue.
As another poster already said, there's no real big difference between the two and they both get the job done.
My big problem with CWM is the backups. Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it or missed an option somewhere. But since they moved to the BLOB model for backups I found it impossible to delete an old backup. I like to do backups often, but I usually only want to keep 2 iterations due to the space they take up. With TWRP it's easy, each backup has it's own folder. Want to delete one, just delete the whole folder.
If someone can tell me how to manage backups properly in CWM I'd be glad to switch back.

That's one of the reasons I stay with TWRP on my Note despite the super sensitive touch. In all it's wonkiness I've just become more of a fan due to the ease of the touch UI and the ability to just delete the backup folder.

Easiest way I've found to manage backups with CWM is to use ROM Manager. It's integrated with CWM such that in the app you ask it to do a backup, you name the backup anything you want, then it automatically reboots into recovery and does it. ROM Manager also allows you to download your backups to you computer via WiFi, and has an easy option to delete backups. Further, CWM has the option to restore data only from a backup for easily getting settings back when doing a ROM upgrade. Geez I'm more sold on CWM than I thought. I almost sound likes a salesperson haha.

Don't apologize, you provided good information. On my HP Touchpad I used TWRP exclusively because it integrated with Goo Manager. But I really don't plan to use anything other than Mobile Odin to flash anything so not much reason to keep it. I may switch back to CWM and try the ROM Manager interface for the backups.
EDIT:
Well that didn't work well at all. Installed and tried to do a backup. Told me (obviously) that I needed CWM installed. Said there wasn't an official version for it so it then asked me if I already had one installed. I answered yes. It then asked if I had version 2 or version 3. But what I have installed has a version number of 6 something. Oh well, back to TWRP I guess.
I thought we could manager the CWM backup from a file manager I have been doing that on my optimus 2x never did it on note though

With older versions I was able to do that. But this newer version I have installed doesn't really work that way. It creates 2 folders for a backup. One has the backup name with just a small file inside. The other folder is called BLOBS. In that fold are multiple other folders that are alphabetical, I assume by file name. The problem is, when you create a 2nd backup, it used the same BLOBS folder. So there is no way to just delete one folder to delete a complete backup.
yes I remember that when I was trying to delete CWM backup files and did not find them. Thanks for the update

A noob method try to sort by date/time should tell you which files were updated during your last backup and will give you an idea how the update works. Let me do some R&D on it
I just don't want to have to manually delete files from 20+ directories when, with TWRP, I can just delete one folder.

Change the backup format to "tar" and you'll get the old directory structure back.
