Downgrade from isc 4.0.4 to GB 2.3.6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just purchased a Galaxy Note and system wanted me to upgrade to icecream sandwich 4.0.4. My model is SGHL717M. I've been searching online but can't seem to get the right information; can someone provide me the proper steps to downgrade from icecream sandwich to gingerbread?
Baseband version: L717MUGLF4
Kernel version: 3.0.8-perf-L717MUGLF4-CL793911
[email protected] #1
Build number: IMM76D.UGLF4
Thanks!!!!
P.S. If I downgrade can I still use my Spen?
My GN came with Ginger bread. Have you upgraded to ICS at all?

Wait - what carrier? If you want stock you want the stock carrier rom. i717M is Bell Canada, so you want that stock rom.
Good catch haha. Forgot that lil tidbit

Yea as long as you stay with a touchwiz based ROM you will retain s-pen gestures. The pen itself works with any ROM, just not the button or gestures.

just a quick question, will there ever be a official 4.0.4 rom pushed to kies or do you think we have stopped at official 4.0.3
ive had a search around and found nothing so dont hate me if this has been said before
cheeers guys
I don’t have a clue!
Obviously we will have the update, weather it be 4.04 or anything newer is anybodies guess
WHY STOP AT 4.0.3 when its far from perfect ok reword it ... it still has bugs so any time soon we'll see newer builds as and when they happen..
I think sammobile announced that samsung is working on 4.0.4 for sgs2.. Maybe they got it from their informant inside samsung

Is this the jelly bean OS ?

No buddy, it is a more stable version ics. Phonearena said that jellybean (if that is what it'll be called) maybe 4.1 or something like that since it may not be much of a change from ics.

Don't be stupid, you know what he meant. Its a typo. Nobody is perfect including you.
To the OP, are you wanting to use a Gingerbread or ICS rom? If your interested in Gingerbread try SolarisPrime A New Hope. The rom is great!
ICS = HANDS DOWN UCLE2 BASE + FJ MOD by Flappjaxxx
But many others that have minor bugs... youll have to read up on each.
I rocked troposphere for quite a while... Kinda Like AOSP
I played with tablet mods on several other bases(which was cool and different) but I already have a tablet so didnt need another one lol
Im sure that you'll want to stay away from GB roms, because if you do go with GB you'll only find out at a later date that, when you flash ICS, you should have done it in the first place... Kind like having a choice to buy either a 1990 mustang or a 2012 mustang and choosing the 90's car. Then when it starts to smell old and feel slow, switching to the 2012... Money aside of course...
Welcome!
I am using the flappjaxxx rom mentioned above and I am over all pleased.
FJ pimped my pride

I'm so glad you love your NOTE
I even love this device also it replaces my laptop because I own ASUS G53SX damn this thing is so heavy to bring around
What I love about the note is 5.3 inch screen very high def qualify watching movies or TV on it at 1080P 60fps and very fun playing games on it as well when I'm out about too . Very light weight and it fit's in my jeans pocket just fine.
For 5.3 inch Phone + Tablet all in one device compared to Asus Prime which is 10 inch screen I prefer to have a device that's a phone and tablet so I don't have to bring 2 different devices around with me
The latest UCLE2 IMM76D 4.0.4 build is the most stable i've had so far. If you like the stock experience I'd say go with that ROM. Then ofcourse root it!
I'm on the stock official release that just came out. Nothing fancy for now.

If you using SGH-I717 did you get a new software update?
Is their different model of SGH-I717 I only know Internal Version and ATT Version I was wondering on how you got a official software update on your device?
I own ATT Version SGH-I717 I never got any new Software update?
Anything by Flappjaxxx. All his roms are butter with no force close issues whatsoever.

He's probably talking about the new leak that was linked here in the general forums.
you guys are great! I have to agree ics is great had a collective rom on my skyrocket and loved it. so i guess ill have to do some reading on how to get to ics on the note. it was pretty easy on the rocket. I've rooted already and will Odin cwm tonight then hit the dev section and get to it.
thanks guys looking forward to a great time here.

Touchwiz is Samsung-based and Samsung has not released 4.0.4 yet. The only 4.0.4 roms currently available are AOSP/AOKP. Samsung should be releasing official 4.0.4 but not sure when. Until then, no 4.0.4 with Touchwiz as far as I know. Personally, I prefer Apex Launcher Pro to Touchwiz, and use that with 4.0.4.

no but i meant as in, if there's any ROM where i could put the touchwiz look on that is 4.0.4?
Also do you know around what time the 4.0.4 is gonna come out for sgs2?
I have seen a touchwiz4 port to an AOSP/AOKP rom. Forgot where i saw it but you could always try to google it. The touchwiz on it doesn't have an infinite scrolling on the homescreen and appdrawer. Pretty much like the launcher of the galaxy nexus.

I was very reluctant at first, but, my answer to you now would be YES!
yeah go for it, there is no gurantee it will be Nov anyway !!
Root it, have a play and then you can try some of the Unofficial JB roms now :good:
Official JB for i9100 will be released in November, not earlier.
So, try CM10. It's stable and smooth.

Maybe we should dream your dream, mate. It's a good one.
Root root root
Just root your phone! Even the Galaxy S3 hasn't received the update in most regions... The S2 is lower priority for Samsung. When all S3s get the update we should expect the update a week from then. JUST ROOT IT FOR NOW.
Next month, the new Samsung Galaxy S3, its predecessor the Galaxy S2, and the original Galaxy Note, are set to get their much awaited Android Jelly Bean OS update (October). Good news is that the Jelly Bean OS is the answer to security flaw of the TouchWiz UI.
This month of September, Samsung have started to rollout the latest Android update from the Ice Cream Sandwich to the Jelly Bean OS. Please note that the Kies-supported Android rollout is limited to the country Poland only. Samsung recently said in an e-mail that the company claims that more countries will start getting the Android Jelly Bean update soon and schedules may vary by market and wireless carriers.
So other than being able to use the latest Android flavor on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Note, this Jelly Bean rollout to fix issued related to the phone’s TouchWiz. According to some reports, a hacker has confirmed that Samsung’s custom skin under the Ice Cream Sandwich update has added risk in allowing hackers to remotely wipe clean or disable any data on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S2.
Maybe it is because of this that Samsung already started the rollout to their new Galaxy S3’s to simply fix the said security flaw? The sad part is that not all devices are included in the list of phones to receive the Jelly Bean update. Samsung also urges their Galaxy S3 customers to download and install the said software.
Again, a post made by the Android Police stated that the Jelly Bean alone can fix the current security flaw. The said site also explained that “We have confirmation that this exploit is also fixed in Jelly Bean, as well, so any device running Android 4.1 should be safe.”

Hi
I am running xxlsj for a few days and its good with Nelp4 modem.
I was wondering for an optimal performance os for galaxy s2. Will it be ginger bread or ics or jb?
I know there are custom roms kernels etc available but I am only interested in stock roms so please keep it to the subject.
Any thoughts?

for battery life: Gingerbread
for performance: Jelly Bean (although there's only AOSP builds afaik)
I'd go with a ICS stock-based ROM like WanamLite
If you want only stock roms, go with ICS. It's more recent and have many options that GB don't have.
Notice that really official Samsung stock, there isn't any JB versions yet, but Samsung claims that will release it until the end of this year.
There is a Samsung JellyBean leaked that you can use, but it's not an original stock release, keep that in mind.
Search for xxlsj on google and you will find your below statement incorrect in regards to jellybeans for gs2. I am already using jelly beans leaked "official" version.
Thanks for your input though.

Leaked versions are not releases.
My response was for dewalla's original post which he has edited since.
delawalla has just replied :***************If you want only stock roms, go with ICS.

How about if we leave the cynicism on English language itself and focus on real question?
No one mentioned release so where are you coming from?

If your happy with your current setup,then use that.....and if not, try out other roms.

I take that to mean him saying: "but it's not an original stock release"; and you saying: "Search for xxlsj on google and you will find your below statement incorrect in regards to jellybeans for gs2. I am already using jelly beans leaked "official" version."
He specifically has the word "release" in his post. So he mentioned it. You seem to dispute the existence of a "release" by saying his statement is incorrect, and you are using the leak as evidence of this.
There is no cynicism here. I interpreted what you said in the context of the response to his post. If that's not what you meant, then clarify.
