WARNING !!...The super thread now contains multiple threads for more than one version of the galaxy note !!.."YOU" are obligated to read and understand the methods and terminology of material posted here.."BEFORE" flashing or installing anything to your pretty, and expensive device. If you have questions, "ASK" the respective users and the OP of that thread.."YOU" are fully responsible for any modifications or changes to "YOUR" device...So read, then read it again....Warning over...
Kernel: “A kernel is a critical component of every Operating System. It can be seen as a sort of bridge between the applications and the actual hardware of a device..”
Libraries: Libraries are chunks of code specially developed to activate key functions of the device (e.g. the camera or loudspeakers). Without certain libraries in your ROM, you risk the chance of your ROM not booting or working.
Bootloader: “A bootloader in general is the first bytes of code that a machine executes that will tell the bootsequence and will load the operating system into the RAM.”
Recovery: A recovery is an ‘application’ that allows you to flash kernels, roms, mods and tweaks. It is also a method of installing and updating your ROM, partioning your SD card and many other OS-related things.
Radio: The radio is the “the lowest part of software layer” that “handles the GPS antenna, GSM antenna and fires up the CPU: everything the [bootloader] needs to run the OS”.

Attention Korean note users: Due to the fact that you do not have an official korean note section, I've added threads related to your devices, to the "tools" section of this thread. My intent, is to give your threads and related information a permanent home here, even though your devices differ from our U.S. versions of the note. I believe that I've posted all current threads already, but please PM me if you have additions that need to be made here. We are happy to have you in our section, and will provide you all of the help we can.
Edit: Message for Korean note users from Awesomefireduck. e160 S/L/K 32GB(!) users. Your help is requested in the debrick thread, to assist other users with bricked devices. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Awesomefireduck.
Korean Galaxy Note Section Starts Here. If you do not have a Korean Galaxy Note or one of it's variants, "DO NOT USE" any information found here, or you "WILL BRICK" your device. You have been warned...

The Rules
Like anything in life, there are rules here. There are also moderators (mods) who enforce the rules when necessary.
Here is the short version. Please:
Here is the longer version. XDA Rules
Searching
When you have a question you don't know the answer to, don't post a new thread when you could post a question in a relevant open thread, and don't post a question when a few minutes reading and searching will not only give you an answer, but a feeling of accomplishment that you were able to find it yourself, and the confidence to remember and repeat the answer with the link to the thread or post with that answer when you see someone else post that question.
Consider the question you are going to post, pick out the keywords and type them into the search box. Try a few different searches with slightly different words.

If you aren't sure what a term or acronym means, check this Excellent term definition Glossary by benjamingwynn.
Acronyms
Good to know Definitions:
Glossary
ADB → Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device..
Android →Unveiled on 5 November 2007, Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel developed by Google.
AOSP → Android Open Source Project
Apps2SD → Move applications from the internal NAND memory on the device to a removable SD Card.
BLN → BackLight Notification
Bloatware → Software bloat is a process whereby successive versions of apps include an increasing proportion of unnecessary features that are not used by end users, or generally use more system resources than necessary, while offering little or no benefit to its users. Like all the crap that comes from At&t
Brick → When used in reference to consumer electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). This usage derives from the fact that some electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) are vaguely brick-shaped, and so those which do not function are useful only as actual bricks. The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my phone when I tried to modify its firmware."[
Hard Brick → When your phone does not turn on at all. When you can’t get in to CWR/CWM Or Stock recovery. You are basically screwed.
Soft Brick → When your phone bootloops. When you can get into CWR/CWM. When You can use jigtag to get into download mode.
Busybox → BusyBox provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable. It runs in a variety of POSIX environments such as Linux, Android, FreeBSD and others, such as proprietary kernels, although many of the tools it provides are designed to work with interfaces provided by the Linux kernel. It was specifically created for embedded operating systems with very limited resources. Platforms counterparts, but they are pretty close and useful nonetheless.
CWR OR CWM ClockworkMod Recovery →A custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery.
DEODEX → Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace file (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
Flashing → The process of applying a firmware image (or ROM) to a device. It generally entails a very specific order of steps. Failing to complete any one of these steps properly may result in bricking the device.
Firmware → is a term often used to denote the fixed, usually rather small, programs and/or data structures that internally control various electronic devices. Programs stored in the ROM, EPROM, or flash memory that usually control various internal electronic devices (Hard Drives, Keyboards, Displays, etc). Firmware is typically 'fixed' software that is not updated in consumer devices, however it is often updated (or 'flashed') by advanced users to fix bugs or add features to the device. Flashing firmware designed for one device onto a different device, or not following a specific procedure while flashing will often render the device unusable.
Kernel → is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components
Radio → The cellular radio on the device which needs control software called firmware to control it.
ROM → Read Only Memory. In the context of an Android device, ROM is the internal flash memory where the core operating system resides. It can also refer to a specific version firmware that can be applied to a device through a process usually referred to as flashing. An improperly flashed ROM can often brick the device, rendering it unusable.
Superuser→ A program, which gives unlimited access privileges to perform any or all operations on the operating system.
ODIN → Odin is the Samsung software used to update Samsung phones. It does not work with any other devices other than official Samsung phones.
OTA or FOTA → (F)OTA stands for (Firmware) Over The Air and is the process by which required updates and enhancements to your phone's basic operating system can be sent to you through the cellular network. The Galaxy S II software update will be sent via FOTA and is available through Samsung Kies mini.0
ODEX → In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
SDK → Software Development Kit.
Logcat → A debugging tool built into Android devices that displays system logs as they occur. See Logcat.
NANDroid → A set of tools that will enable anyone who has root on their Android device to make FULL system backups, in case something goes wrong or you want to try out that new experimental ROM/theme. NANDroid will backup (and restore) /system, /data, /cache, and /boot partitions.
Recovery Mode → A special environment that you can boot into for troubleshooting and upgrading purposes.
Kang → The process of creating a code based of someone else's code or reapplying code that someone else created into your own code (e.g. git cherry-pick)
Rooting → is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices.
Giving Thanks
Giving thanks is important. It lets people know that their work or answer is appreciated. It is a faster method of feedback than posting a reply like "Thanks for your answer!" You must have one post to give thanks, so here is a good place you can do that without running afoul of the mods for posting no content posts.
The "Say Hi" thread.
You get 8 thanks per day, and they renew after 24 hours or so. Each thanks is independent of the others, so if you give someone a thanks at 3, and then another at 4, those will renew at 3 and 4 the next day. If you run out of thanks, then bookmark that page or open it in a new tab and give thanks later when you have one available.
If you use them all every day you are doing it correctly.
Some member titles you will see around the threads.
There are Junior Members, Members, Senior Members first. These make up the vast majority of XDAs userbase.
Recognised Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognised Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognised Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognised Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application (see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum - currently applications are not open). They are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Posting
Posting is something you may do a lot of here, but it is always important to remember to make your posts good ones. Don't post just to drive up your count, there is no special reward for the poster with the highest total and you won't catch the long timers here anyways.
You will find that there are some restrictions on your posting ability when you first start here. For starters, for your first 5 posts, there is a prompt and a time limit in between posts. While this may seem burdensome, it does an excellent job of keeping spammers from posting garbage throughout every thread. There is a 2 minute limit between posting and editing your posts. This stops at 30 posts when you go from Junior Member to Member.
Rate the ROM
"Rate the dev's thread with 5 stars using the rate drop-down button at the top of every page of the thread." If your found the ROM or MOD/TWEAK useful, then be truthful rate it there Rate drop down menu that have the star rating, along with the thanks you give the individuals that provided you with help or the DD (daily Driver ROM) you are using, or if you just test a ROM slap the rating.
Donations
Making a donation is neither expected or required,but always gratefully received and appreciated.
There are "Donate to me" icons above people's avatar,or in their signatures.
You can also donate to XDA by clicking HERE.
When you donate 10 EUROS to XDA,you get rewarded with a STAR
,which is displayed a little below your avatar. If you buy 10 STARS ,you will be rewarded with a

Thanks guys. I'm always around, lurking in the shadows, trying to stay out of the... non-productive..conversations that permeate some of the threads. Now that Joe handed off the reigns to this thread so that I have something to do during work hours, if you have any suggestions, additions you think might be useful, feel free to yell them out.
Aww... thanks guys, you were my last 2 thanks to make it to 1000. lol I now join that elite list of non "recognized" people to make that milestone. Of course, BubbaJoe is in his very own category as he approaches 3000.

Hi all, need advice
I have had a telus i717 for almost 2yrs now. I'm in Canada.
My phone has been getting laggier and I tried wiping it and restoring it a few times.
I keep almost no data on the internal storage. says 10.1 of 10.7GB free.
I want to speed up my phone and was wondering a couple things:
-Can I use a really fast sd card as RAM or Cache? That should speed things up as I only have 750Mb of RAM.
-Whats the simplist way to overclock? Do I have to Root?
I am pretty handy with electronics and some plc programming, etc. But I have never rooteed a phone and I worry I will need some files that I wont be able to find etc.
I would like to hear from anyone who has a telus note and installed a custom rom and the steps they took.
Can anyone point me to a resource for rooting/overclocking this phone and the files I need?
I know I dont ask much do I.
Thanks all!

Ok
Thanks, I think...
The whole stupid questions thing seems kinda insulting but perhaps it is deserved.
I just bought a 90mb/s sd card and they kept shorting out in my gnote, have a slow one now and all is good? weird.
Anyways thanks.
cant find valid drivers that allow sgh-i717 to work in usb debugging mode.
re: "USB Driver for ATT I717 Galaxy Note -- Thanks to bigjoe2675"
all the links to the usb drivers actually link to gapps??? (gapps-jb4.1-20121011-minimal_edited_20131023.zip)
im having trouble getting my samsung note to hook up with adb. im trying to port the mmssms.db from my old sgh-i897 i was able to extract with adb... but i cant for the life of me get anything other than an unknown device "android" to appear in device manager when i put the sgh-i717 in debugging mode.
google has led me on a goose-chase for the better part of a day, dozens of different xda threads, hundreds of pages of replies not really specific to what im looking for. dead links. everywhere.

tl;dr; i was able to root the sgh-i717, setup twrp 2.6.3.0, and im running carbon-jb-nightly rom... but now im stuck trying to port over my old sms history.
HALP!

I would not use twrp 2.6.3.0 as it is known to cause problems with the i717. I would stick to twrp 2.6.1.0.

Hi there,
I recently bought a bunch of SM-J600G for the company I work. The thing is that there is an incompatibility between our sales software and latest Samsung Firmware, so I need to try an AOSP Rom but there is no information on the WEB about it.
I'll really appreciate if someone could help me on porting from another device or knows where I could find one already ported.
Thanks in advance.
The device is relatively new, so I would expect an AOSP ROM to be ported later on if at all
Since a few days phhusson released his aosp8.1 and aosp9 gsi roms.
Both work but personally I'm not an aosp fan. Roms are to limited.
Our j6 devices need special build use arm with 64 binders.
AOSP 8.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
AOSP 9 https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
