hi guys,

i've been an iphone user for the past few years and jumping over to android, gnote was my first android phone and i'm totally new to android scene. after having the gnote for almost 3 weeks, i've always wanted to root it. here's the stock rom version that running on my gnote 2.3.6:

PDA: N7000DXLA1
PHONE: N7000DXKL2
CSC: N7000OLBKL2

I've read Benny's blog that in order to 2.3.6, I have to downgrade the rom back 2.3.5, root it then only upgrade it 2.3.6 with a rooted kernel in order to maintain the root. My question is, shall there be any failures during the process of downgrading, rooting or upgrading, is there anyway like iphone where we can just enter DFU mode and easily restore back to original firmware? Is there a way like this in Android phone?

i duno bout that, and selling at 1k is really really really cheap. i sold mine at 1550, but including 32gb microsd, free SGP case and SGP SP though.

for GalNote's case, this is the one i'm using:

yes it use the magnet, but no it doesnt screw my screen. i can slip in my name cards, TnG and some notes/ money inside. while it makes it look a bit bulkier, i din find any problem cz GalNote is designed to be bulky, so jz let it remain bulky like a boss.   

My Sygic GPS Navigation initialization took almost 3 hours and I'm still waiting for it to complete -.-!

It will take just 1-2 minutes.  Try reinstall

I reinstalled in about 5 times.. I've cleared everything, but still goes wrong... sigh

It is Chainfire modded kernel files . You can try use Mobile odin lite ( free version )
Post files exact name you are downloading - if you want reconfirmation

Added on February 4, 2012, 5:36 pmTested latest LA6 rom by King Droid : took it down after 2 hours - UI lags terribly vs all the roms I have tested
Now downloading JBroid version LA6 ( deoedexed and slight tweaks ) close to stock rom - see whether it can match Substancer LA4

Shall I download the Malaysia map? It says 47mb but when I start downloading it, I figured out it was 509mb -.-! So buggy app...

Thanks for the reply benny. I've changed my mind to use this, I'd rather use Google Maps with better voice.
