Also on the cm9 ics build iirc you can edit screen sensitivity, type of vibrations, pattern etc. And brightness can also be adjusted by swiping sideways on the status bar. I think this is also available in stock samsung GB rom. This is a latest update on battery life with paranoid rom on the Note. With heavy usage today. ![]() Regards.

I am currently using the update for the stock rom. So if I do this would I be able to do this normally through ODIN or there's some other process. Thanks Last edited by harjeev : 22nd August 2012 at 22:09. | |

In short here is how you do it. - download dr. Ketan's "pre rooted" stock samsung GB rom. Any version will do. I downloaded the Poland version and it worked. Unzip the rom to retrieve the tar.md5 file - now download paranoid android rom cm9 version. Its 193mb in size. And copy it to your memory card. - download gappshybrid.zip for the paranoidandroid rom. This gives you all the basic apps like play store, gmail etc. Copy the file to your memory card. - also download AbyssNote Kernel and copy it to your memory card. - backup all your phone data - set the phone to download or pcODIN mode. - flash the stock pre rooted GB rom tar.md5 file through pcODIN by ticking only the CSC box and nothing else. - now reboot your phone in recovery mode - vol up+power+home button. - select install zip from sd card -> go to where you've stored AbyssNote kernel. install it and reboot the phone. - check in about phone option in settings menu whether the kernel has been changed to AbyssNote. - Next get back to recovery mode. - select install zip from sd card-> install paranoid android.zip - select install zip from sd card-> install gappshybrid.zip - delete cache, user settings, dalvik cache and battery stats. - fix permissions - now reboot your phone. Voila Paranoid Android is installed. ***NEVER wipe data/cache etc on the stock ICS rom. Only after AbyssNote kernel is installed, you can wipe the data etc. Failure to adhere to this may brick your phone*** Disclaimer: the above mentioned method is to be carried out at your own risk. I dont bear any responsibility if you brick your phone during the process. On another note, i soft bricked my phone while reflashing paranoidandroid the 2nd time. Just reflashed GB and repeated the process. ![]() Last edited by Parthasarathig : 22nd August 2012 at 23:06. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I've a couple of points to add there. 1. There's no need to flash abyss kernel after flashing the pre rooted gb Rom. You can go ahead and flash PA and gapps from your sd using cwm recovery. 2. Just in case you switch on the phone after downgrading from ics to gb, you're sure to see FCs. You've to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Please note it has to be wiped again after flashing PA and Gapps. |

The second time when i flashed PANDROID i didnt flash abysskernel. Just kept flashing to pandroid till the entire process was complete then booted the phone. And i think abysskernel gets deleted once you flash pandroid as in my case earlier. The stock ICS 4.0.4 rom from Samsung has similar battery consumption but i hate the rest of the package. Much more happy with the customisable roms. | |

Nokia just for maps? No way! Anyway, I was a rabid Nokia hater till recently. Bad experience with them in the past. That aside, I'd not go for a Nokia even otherwise. Perhaps as a 2nd phone maybe... but even then I'm not sure its worth it. Not a Symbian ph at least. | |

About Nokia Ovi Maps, I don't think the maps are up to date. My brother has had couple of bad experiences. | |

Coverage is excellent in the South, but northern highways still lead a lot to be desired. Satguide is another alternative though at 1400 INR its a bit expensive. | |

| ![]() There are two good apps based on OSM ZANavi and NavFree. I have already used NavFree. We can make it more effective by contributing to OpenStreetMaps. I have contributed a lot to Google Maps (more than 500 additions) but going forward I would concentrate on improving OSM around my area. |

Download the general app so that you can get the trial. You can get maps of the whole world via the general app. And you'd notice that the general app is one or two versions ahead of the MMI app. The India maps in both are same - Map My India. Download just before you undertake a major trip so that you can experience it. No comparison between Sygic and Navfree. Sygic is a commercial solution. Navfree uses Open Maps, which is crowd sourced. You can imagine how a nascent open source source would be. Even for a large city like Mumbai, it's useless. You don't want to rely on it for something which could be as critical as navigation. In my opinion, a good navigation app would pay for itself over time from the time saved from asking for directions and taking the wrong turn and the fuel, taking the faster route depending on traffic, avoiding toll roads, etc. Just my two cents.
