Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:
rootzwiki.com/topic/22134-sgh-i717uclc5-ice-cream-sandwich
If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

I've been using the app that's on my phone but EVERYTHING on my phone got wiped and it's a bit easier to multi-task on a computer than it is a phone, so it's more about comfort ability at the moment, but this is just one issue arising, how many other, and potentially more serious issues are going to arise?

This is not an issue... use the play market to get your apps.. not a PC... because you obviously don't know how.... what you explained is NOT an issue, its the wrong approach. Your fist mistake was downloading a rom from root wiki.. flash my rom.. Seraphim-Mesosphere, and be happy...

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

greetings all,
i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.
of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.
could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.
many thanks in advance.
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.
If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.

you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
This depends on your desired outcome.

i want to use cyanogenmod or miui, i have no idea what the difference is between them but it seems to nice.
CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.
MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.

many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.
You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).
Edit:
Just checked your profile. ;-)
You can find ether latest MIUI on
www.miui.nl/
Tell me once you have all the files.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.
so what do i need to do next?
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.
I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i am ready
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.
Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.
Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.
When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.
Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.
After that proceed like this:
Wipe data
Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.
Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.
If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.

So i want to give you the credits, there your post was my main lead of info to get started. I have the MIUI: Miuinl SGS2-1.12.30 Signed version installed, after i routed the phone through ODIN with: Siyah-v2.6.7. My Baseband version is still the I9100BOKJ1 (no idea what is means), but got it working now. It is a blessing, will thanks on the Miui site as well for this great piece of work. Thanks, and for the other new visitors: it works, just read from the beginning and have patient.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
use another kernel
hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.
Is there a way to currently root your sgs2 all from your phone? (Without a PC)
For example; Rooting +CWM>install kernel+ new rom/baseband
phone for starting base kk6/2.3.6
Just wondering. I wanted to make a powerpoint about how to root android phones, but I think each phone is so specific that a general method may not be applicable?
Also that most phones need to be flashed via PC for starters? (yes/no?)
I figured generally speaking:
1: Look for your phones model number, android version and baseband,
2: download and flash correct rom (renaming the file if necesary)
3: with phone rooted install ??? (rom/kernel/new bb/cwm or whatever)
I don't know if I can do this as a "general" powerpoint for android, but I can do it specifically for SGS2; however, not everyone has an SGS2
ideas?

Please read the OP. How is rom manager working with ICS relevant to this if he's starting from KK6 GB?
Maybe mobile Odin can work but idk if you can use that without root already on the phone. I had to root mind from download mode using a pc with Odin.
Seems like a cool idea to explore.

Mobile Odin requires root.
AFAIK there's no current way to root an SGS2 without a PC. I found SuperOneClick to work just fine, doesn't require you to flash using Odin, but it does take some patience and a few tries, and a PC of course.
I could be wrong of course, please correct me if I am.
I read you can run android sdk/adb from usb stick. Just need the "final" folders installed. Any tips?

I never do backups unless fresh power off then booting recovery , no rom manager ..
i just was suggesting possibly with it installed cwm can install without a pc.
the only caveat was if root access required to install it as I don't remember and can't think of any way rooting is possible without a pc EXCEPT installing a pre-rooted rom
*which is not possible on sgs2 with standard sammy recovery correct

uhhhh....
COMPLETELY different phones, COMPLETELY different hardware. NO....you cannot use rom manager for the i777 unless you are working solely with AOSP builds....in which case you would ALREADY have a CWM kernel
this has been the case on all samsung galaxy s line except the skyrocket/t989. there is no doubt that it simply DOESNT work from stock. its not speculation, its fact.
things are different over here dude. the i777 is pretty much nothing like the i727 aside from sharing a name and touchwiz....

Hi Guys,
I know this is completely against your religion, and i deserve a good hazing, but honestly I just want to be pointed into the right direction. Yes I have searched for terms and read some guides but I am a five year old with this phone/forum. Can someone tell me where to start with getting my att g note running better than the crappy firmware att dumps on it?
Do you root it first? then load a rom? im on a mac, is this possible? Is there a way i can make a "save state" of my current setup and be able to revert back to it if all hell breaks loose?
Please, please be gentle. Im too lazy/busy/retarded to try and start from scratch and learn this whole process, just want someone to hold my hand and tell me what to do.
re
First root,
then install CWM (clock work mod). With this, you can basically create a screenshot of every single file and how it was place. so if you do a backup and brick the phone you can do a restore and it will be as if nothing ever happened.
Next I would go for a Custom Rom / OC Kernel. This is where you use odin. If you reach this point search the forum a bit more and you will find your answers.
good luck!

Ok Got the terminology down. New problem. Im on a mac, no access to a pc. Is there not a mac version of odin? What do mac users do? I see this other software called heimdall, but the general consensus im seeing is "f*** heimdall".
heimdall does not work as of now on this phone; I used it constantly on my previous phone, but, its a no go on this one
I am too an all mac house, and, the only way to root this phone as of now is via Odin, and, there is no mac version of Odin
you have to either get hold of a windows pc, or, install windows on your mac via boot camp, or, run Parallels or VMWare on your mac, install windows on it that way, then install and run Odin to root your phone.
If you don't understand what I just said, then you shouldn't even be attempting this; maybe you live near someone who is more phone adept than yourself, and can do it for you?
After you get setup.
You might want to get this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
Basically the mobile version of Odin, not that you will need it after you get CWM, but it might come in handy.
mobile odin is not compatible with our phone....as of a week or so ago when I tried it..
And, you need root to use Mobile Odin

Thanks man. Just backed up with cwm. What's the best ics rom? maybe theres not a "best", but any good recommendations?
There is a huge difference between the stock Note and rooted Note, you will never go back to stock with all the ATT bloat.

Have you purchased an external sd card yet? That definitely makings things easier. I didn't have one initially and every time I flashed a ROM I kept erasing all the backup data I had. Now I keep it on the external sd card so that doesn't happen.
I love Saurom Rom, but now I just moved over to Team Perfection ICS Rom and for me it works flawlessly.
Both Saurom and ICS produce roughly the same Quadrant Benchmark scores, and with Saurom you can over clock. My goal was to eliminate any lagg, and both will do that for you.
I've been at this for a month now and have learned quite a bit on this forum. Definitely spend some time on the Noob section .
Saurom apparently is a Canadian based ROM, and because of that, certain apps were not available to me in the app store because of that. The ICS ones didn't produce that issue.

I believe there are only 3 or 4 ics roms out now for this phone, so its pretty simple to try them all and decide from there...
I have a hard time answering when someone asks whats the "best rom", since we all have different criteria for what we consider 'the best"
I'm waiting for the official ICS update for Note. if I root it now, do I have to inroot before I can update to the official ICS?

I am running
[RoM] ~ [UCLD3] ~ TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS
OBJECTION FOR THE NOTE ~ 5/7
Solid Rom, not to many things added in. Perfect for me. But that is my thoughts. Other roms might be better for you.

Thanks for the input guys, im running seraphim and im noticing some random issues, so im going to try the hybrid now.
Has anyone had this working on stock JB, I use the nand restore that someone uploaded, then after getting my phone the way I like it ,apps etc I tried to install the chainfire 3D and it just hangs at boot, have to wipe data etc, and restore nand, tried this a few time with same result everytime
Anyone else tried it?
I am aware it says it not compatible with JB but it also says that for ICS and people say it works

Chainfire 3d will not work on jellybean. because all of the jellybean ROMS available are either leaked version of unofficial versions which are UNSTABLE versions. you will have to wait for the stable release of jellybean.
Those are NOT leaked versions.. google released JB sources for public .
Good thread. Was curious but thought it might of been the whole unstable thing.

Chainfire 3D will not work on JB as long as Chainfire will adjust the program, which, as I read in another threat will not happen soon as it is a lot of work (please correct me if I am wrong).
If you try to use Chainfire 3D on JB you will end up stuck on Samsung start screen.
Hence only way to use Chainfire 3D for now is use ICS.
Ics is only option as of now. What i m doing is dual booting ICS and JB. For games i boot into ics and play 9MM n nfshp n for rest things jb all the way

Hi,
just to confirm, I made an attempt to install Chainfire3D on stock JB and as christmast wrote, it ended with a nand restore.
Hi im a noob and didnt read enough into this. I got sgs3 gt_i9300 and on jellybean rooted and made the mstake of not backing up Before installing. As a result im hanging at startup.
Please can anyone help in a direction of resolving this?
Please thanks
you wipe your data in recovery
I though official Chainfire3D support ended with Gingerbread?
It did.

To the people locked out, simply flash a working recovery via Odin, pop a working custom ROM on your SD card and flash it.
Job done

Hi everyone
As the title suggests i deleted my stock clock using sytemnapp remover. When i try to set an alarm using S-voice it says "sorry i couldnt save it"(i did click make backups but they are nowhere to be seen) I was hoping that someone here could help me out here. Im using a UK vodafone branded S3
Android version 4.1.2
build number JZ054K.I9300XXELL5
Vodafone Uk
If someone could help me out i would be so damn grateful. Thanks for your time
Steve
Are you running custom rom? If so reboot into recovery and restore your last backup which should return clock. Otherwise I would recommend you flash or reflash stock firmware, which should return all system apps, as this will probably unroot phone after flashing you will have to re root. Guides are available by searching xda or google it. Good luck

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me as the pic demonstrates. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck
Steve
