USING A CUSTOM ROM FOR DAILY USE
Hey guys have been bitten by the Jelly Bug and decided I needed JellyBean on my Note NOW!! as a normal Android user :laugh: tried out a few ROMs out there. Finally settled on Paranoid Android JB:CM 10 Hybrid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 Its abosolutely super Hats of to Chef Utacka the daily update keeps me up to date with the developments. He has without a doubt solved the memory leak bug with JB roms. It is really smooth and the thought of going back to a TW based ROM makes me want to throw up a little
The only draw back of flashing a custom JB: CM 10 ROM on the note is that one can get a bit lost if using the note for business as all the Sammy TW Based apps dont work and some of the ones mentioned in the Themes and Apps forum are not refined, so decided to to list out a few which I personally bridge the gap on my note and help flashing the daily updates a breeze:
1) App Manager http://ow.ly/efNxe the best app to keep your apps all backed up. after a clean flash the only app you need to download is this one and it allows you to restore all the apps back. Or just download it and copy it to the SD Card so that you can install it directly after flashing the new update an re - install all the apps you need.
2) ThinkFree Office Mobile http://ow.ly/efOQn One of the best purchases I made for Rs 465/- it entirely replaces Polaris office, and is much smoother too.
3) Jotter http://ow.ly/efQ84 Does a super job replacing SNote and worth the Rs. 211/- asking price
4) Photo Editor Easy Photo Editor http://ow.ly/efQGo or SketchTalk - Drawing & Editinghttp://ow.ly/efQPD work really well replacing the sammy photo editor. I have just found Sketch talk and first few hours testing it out produced quite impressive results
5) G Tasks: To Do List http://ow.ly/efRqy syncs with Google calendar and provide the integration which is somewhat lacking in the Sammy Organizer.
6) SMS Backup & Restore http://ow.ly/efRMp for some of us who keep valuable information in our messaging app, please remember to back up all sms before clean flashing updates.
Enuf Said... our NOte is close enuf to the original but somewhat better because we dont have to wait for the high and mighty Sammy to give us the latest software
UPDATE:
App Manager failed me Twice. So shifted back to the Time tested Titanium Backup http://ow.ly/eDHzI
To find more apps to improve the functionality of our Note and make the functionality similar to stock i came across this lovely port of the samsung app store for CM 10 / CM10 based ROMs by XDA Member Amandeep Parmar http://ow.ly/eDHLD
This app store gives many App options which are not available on Google's Play store like Sketch! http://ow.ly/eDHY2 by XDA member Wabz and
Photo Desk : which allows doodling and annotating screen shots and photos, although this is a two step process unlike the single step process on the stock ROMs it is pretty easy to use and the apps do exactly what they need to.
The only thing missing was a good replacement for S - Memo which is required while taking on call memos, for now Papyrus http://ow.ly/eDIbn will have to do.
Still sticking to the Lovely work by Utacka and Paranoid Android team as my Daily Driver.. Super stuff
UPDATE: 10th Nov
Utacka's PA rom for NOte now has Stylus Gestures http://ow.ly/fb1I2 Configured them on my note as under:
Left Swipe => Emulate Back Key
Right Swipe => Recent Applications
Up Swipe => Emulate Menu Key
Down Swipe => Invoke Search
Long Press => Go TO Home
Double Tap => Jotter
Works super
I personally Love the CM 10 PA experience and just cannot bring myself to even try TW based ROMs anymore. But i was pleasantly surprised with http://ow.ly/fb1Qm The latest Stock XXLS7 Samsung JellyBean ROM by eybee1970.. I did not like that the dev says "Kernel is PROBABLY brick free. Flashed it anyway... It is smooth and stable !!
Please dont forget to Thank the Devs
Thanks
Thanks Boss really helped... wanted to flash a custom rom which was vanilla Google now thanks to this post i can do it with fraction of the time required for research :good:

Thanks to JimmyMcGee and Jared Burrows i found this app to replace Titanium backup I personally think App Manager does the trick for me but yes Titanium backup is usually the choice for Flasholics
I use Titanium Backup too....On GB first,on ICS and now on JB.
I take pro version on playstore but i not use pack restore on JB.
This app works fine everytime......
Thanks for the dev!

Its a known issue. I think he might have solved it in their 21st OKT release but if you switch off "Automatic Brightness" it should not Blank out
Hi all,
I recently got my self a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I'm interested in rooting it and putting Cyanogenmod 10 on it...but I'm not sure on what will happen with the features like the s-pen. What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod on the Note 10.1 - do you advise it, not advise it, have you tried it, what did you think and are there any videos showing the difference between Cyanogenmod and stock touchwiz on note 10.1?
Thanks and sorry for the long winded question.

Hi,
I'm not an expert but I did try Cyanogenmod once it worked great, the only thing that it's not working for me is, the HDMI out cable.
So I flashed back to a rooted stock ROM
I didn't check that they make this work yet after I restore my older ROM
the pen and everything else was working great.
hope this help a little bit
Everything will work better than stock, but you lose a few features. SPen still works, but you lose the SNote, the Peel remote function, tethering has some problem at the moment password does not work, you lose the photo grabbing feature. Lose polaris office. Nothing happens when you take the pen out. My PC does not recognise it anymore for some reason now. But it works on another PC. Something when you type it makes mistakes. Sometimes charging icon freezes, it crashed a few times already. You lose the manage connected device when tethering.
Now the better part, it's a lot faster and snappy, bluetooth is much better, connects much faster. Equaliser does not crash anymore, even via bluetooth. All the apps that was getting the "package invalid"error, is gone. Skype now works, did not on stock. I am happy with the compromises so far.

I am also interested in Cyanogenmod but havent tried it myself on a tablet.
Can anyone confirm which of these features one would lose when flashing CM10.
Will Spen pressure sensitivity and palm rejection work? that is quite important to me.
I have the N8000 which has telephony and sms ability, does CM10 support it?
I have started 'weaning' myself off most of the stock apps and some features to see if I can live without them.
I've stopped using:
Quick apps and the feature when removing stylus (Don't miss it)
Stock Internet (replaced with Chrome)
Stock Gallery (replaced with Quickpic)
Stock video player (Use quickpic)
My Files (replaced with Solid Explorer)
Snote (Snote sucks there are hundreds of good alternatives)
Music Player (Stock is actually very good, I see Opollo is available in market now)
Video Player (I use quickpic)
Some of the features that I do like and use from stock are:
Screen snapshot
screen snapshot with quick editor (press and hold snapshot button, i use that editor alot)
Peel Remote
Samsung app Store
Polaris office
Video Maker
Camera
Contacts
messaging
Phone Dialer
Gapps
Can anyone confirm if those apps/features are working in CM10, or if CM10 has its own version or other better alternatives in the market.

My note 10.1 is coming today, got any tips on how to root it?
Is there a toolbox?

Tried it but went back to stock. I would suggest waiting for stable release. One issue that stood out when I tried it was touch input wouldn't register sometimes such as tapping near the time to bring up settings.
Complete newbie here. After a lot of reading how-to's here and other sites, I managed to migrate from the stock to CM10.1 (JB 4.2).
Like almost everything except the rough 'screen scrolling stutter' for example in facebook, browser etc. The stock ROM on most devices (for example my other LG escape with android 4.0.4) seem to be buttery smooth. Is there a setting (would that be some kind of h/w acceleration?) or something to make it smooth?
Though I love the new ROM, this is almost becoming a deal breaker and makes me want to go back to the stock rom.
Thanks for any help.
ps: Sometimes, it is so bad that when I flick the screen up, it would try to go up and then rebound downwards...
What version of cm 10.1 are you on? You might try the latest nightly. If your browser is chrome, it seems to be an issue with chrome, others have reported that problem. I'm on the 7/25 nightly and it's running well. I don't use chrome though.

Try fixing permissions and then wipe dalvik/cache. if that don't work, redownload the newest nightly, CHECK MD5, reinstall
I flashed the stock 4.1 ROM back. It was not all that different from a scrolling smoothness perspective. So it seems that the other phone (LG escape) is doing a better job either by s/w (most likely) or h/w.
Given that, I moved away from the stock again, this time to slimbean, and I like it better than the cyanogenmod.
Thanks.

I would say more tasteful/minimalistic customization options. As a very small example choosing to display the battery percentage does not unnecessarily show a battery icon in addition, and also it was customizable to be of different colors while charging/not charging...
More importantly, the notification light via the hardware keys worked on slim bean and not with the cyanogen. This was nice since the skyrocket does not have a dedicated notification light.
Other differences I saw include:
1) The HDR option in the camera is missing in the slimbean, but that is understandable probably since there is no stock HDR option on the camera, and the HDR option that the cyanogenmod came with did not account for even tiny handshake and was unusable.
2) Asking to upgrade to the prime launcher (for $4) was a bit of a bummer with the slimbean. Only the upgrade allows to hide apps etc.
3) On slimbean, press and hold a app icon gives you a small menu to edit/remove/uninstall which is nice.
4) One slightly annoying thing on the slimbean however is the wake up delay after the screen turns off. I have a thread on that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383338
5) On slimbean, I also like being able to turn off the screen by long pressing the menu button (configurable) instead of reaching for the power button.
6) The APN settings on cyanogen worked right out of the box, whereas on the slimbean I had to add a new APN and choose that to get data connection.

Tbh you just don't know what you're doing. A simple kernel and launcher switch will cover most of those differences.

As to 1-HDR isn't really possible with the Skyrocket's hardware due to its slow shutter speed.
As to 2-It would be extremely unethical, and probably illegal (not a lawyer, so I can't say for certain) for any developer to distribute the paid version of an app in a release without compensating said app developer for the distribution.
As to 3-Install Nova on CM and you get that option back.
When listening to music I realised that when I lock the screen it makes an horribly sound for a sec or two and then the music continues just fine.
I think its because the lockscreen sound!
I only wanted to share this bug so developers may fix it on next build release
Please include file manager in next build :/
Disable the lockscreen sound when enjoying music.

Hello,
I'm using galaxy s3. While setting WiFi hotspot I found that though I can set a network ssid but other devices are not able to find it. Might be a bug. If it's a bug hopefully will be solved in the stable version.

Every time I want to write a message or if I write general, a window pop up which shows "Android keyboard (AOSP)" has ended ( Original Text: "Android-Tastatur (AOSP)" wurde beendet).
It´s pop up 2 or 3 times and than it´s gone (I use Swift Key). If I start Whats app again (for example), the story starts again.
Also I have no Pay Store connection...It show´s always "no connection".
By the way

There are dozens available on the Play Store, or you can grab the backported CM File Manager from F-Droid. I've confirmed that the latter works perfectly on Omni, including root file ops.
in the newest version from 03.12 the cam recording on xperia z doesn't work :/
S3 Diceplayer problem...
I´m a user of diceplayer in my S3 and have FC when i try to open any video, it works fine on 4.2 (stock) and 4.3 (CM). tks for bringing 4.4 to S3!!!
Location reporting
I am on twrp and OmniROM Nightly build on the Galaxy S3(I9300). Until two days back when I was in the CWM the location reporting was working fine, but now for every change of location the next second reporting shows I was at my home. Not sure if it is a omnirom bug or Google bug. But wanted to post it here, just in case.

Launcher 3 has some bugs:
In landscape i can not remove Apps or Widgets.
If "Show Search Bar" disabled the "x" to remove a app or Widget at top of the screen is gone / invisible (but drag and drop it where the "x" is normaly will color it red and removes it ).
Same happens on CM 11.
Someone knows how to fix it?
Edit:
Screenshots attached
Since a few days I use OmniRom on my Galaxy SII GT-I9100G. The ROM works great so far. I've updated it daily.
But there is a grafic bug when I reboot the phone. When the phone forces me to enter the code for my simcard the numbers on the number block are cut off in the middle.
Entering the pin works, but ist does not look good because of the bug

I also had jarring sounds when playing music and pressing pause or other media keys as well as the lockscreen (N7105).
Disabling both lockscreen and screen touch sounds fixed it for me. However, I also found that the problem only occurred when using Soundpacks - default system sounds caused me no issues with any settings.
Bug in Rom for i9100
Hello,
the rom is pretty awesome and really fast so far. I have noticed only one problem with the vvs app which i use as a ticket in my local traffic system. When opening the ticket a light background - which should be there - appears, but only for a short time. Then the text overlay is displayed, but since the light background is replaced by the colour black, one can't read any information. I please you to fix this problem. It would be totally awesome if i could use my ticket again.
Tank you,

Greetings,
So I've successfully installed Lineage OS 18.1 Nightly and it runs really well. I've got the NikGapps Core and Magisk installed. Was able to add the apps I like from Google Play store and used the free or open source alternatives I could find for others.
I have a few questions for anyone using Lineage since I'm not sure if these are bugs or design choices or parts of Android 11.
Any clarification would be great. Basically, there's a few things I noticed that are different/don't seem to operate normally.
I can upload screenshots if necessary but let me give you the cliff notes of what I'm experiencing:
-No labels on the home screen icons, even though setting says "Show labels on desktop". Is this me interpreting something incorrectly?
-All icons on the home screen and app drawer appear to have a white background... should be transparent?
-The default sms messaging app always shows quick replay phrases despite turning off the setting "Always suggest quick actions/replies" in the notifications menu
-There is no way to turn off suggested apps... when you use an app it places it in a new section at the top of the app drawer. Looks like the menu setting is missing (there in vanilla A11).
-There is no built in volume limited. This was on my stock Galaxy S7 so if it is an OEM thing I understand. Perhaps you have a suggestion?
-Notifications from the default sms messaging app do not pop up over other on screen elements (specifically fullscreen video in Brave). Does this have to do with the "Bubbles" setting under notifications?
-Screen automatically dims/sleeps when watching fullscreen video (again in Brave)... happens inconsistently and going in/out of fullscreen seems to stop it from happening again.
-There is no swype ability on the keyboard. I assume this is a OEM keyboard setting or something.. is there an alternate keyboard you would recommend (open source, free) that won't steal your info/privacy violations?
-Last thing which is more of a question than anything else, since I cannot install a stable twrp, I used the Lineage OS recovery. It doesn't seem to have a backup/restore function. So is there a way for me to, with the setup I currently have, to do a complete and full backup? By this I mean like capture an image of all the partitions as they currently are, as you would with a PC.
Sorry for n00b but the last unlocked rooted custom rom I ran was Cyanogen back on a Motorola Photon. Thank you in advance, any input or clarification is much appreciated as you are a helpful, insightful bunch here.
