This will happen if you have earlier installed in some other versions. So dont blame the app

I installed the same version, I don't see any updates. Gonna buy it soon enough... For this time gonna be unnecessary to use yet.

Tested JBroid version of LA6 - has been on it past 4 hours . Excellent rom, comparable to Substancer LA4 and Rocket V21 but without those fancy tweaks to UI. As similar to Rocket V21 - temperature is much cooler than stock LA4. With phone being charged for past 2 hours it remains at 32-33 degree C only. UI is very smooth - and rom is tweaked further by developer script , he called it JBroid engine
I installed it right on top of Substancer LA4 without any wipe

The jBroid Engine works on the functions listed below: I quote

app2sd
optimization of the battery
boot the phone faster
cfs (in conjunction with power management modes)
cpu (optimization and responsiveness of the phone)
drop
efs (backup your file efs)
governor (in conjunction with the kernel)
graphic (improved signage and quality)
hotplug (improved connectivity)
kernel (kernel related)
memory (better management of ram)
perm
read (optimization of the SD card)
remount (better treatment data)
scheduler (in conjunction with the kernel)
sdcard (optimization of the SD card)
security (enhanced system security)
smoothloop
sqlite (best data processing)
tcp (improved connectivity)
screen (touch screen optimization)
vm (Dalvik tweaks)
zipalign

Hi Zeneziz, just like you, I am new to android (using iPhone) until recently a week ago, get myself a Galaxy Note. It was on LA1 kernel, and like you, wanted to root it as soon as possible. Although I have experience with jailbreaking in iphone but was a bit aprehensive about rooting for the first time in android. Fear of bricking an expensive gadget did come to my mind. After some research, decided to root my note. Here is my steps

Part 1: Downgrading to 2.3.5
1) Download rom N7000DXKK1_N7000OLBKJ6_XME.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Need this rom to downgrade to be able to take advantage of the zergRush exploit to root. I did make a mistake earlier and download an higher release rom, KJ6 (N7000DXKL3_N7000OLBKL2_XME.zip), and discover that I cannot root succesfully

2) Once you got the rom file (N7000DXKK1_N7000OLBKJ6_N7000DXKJ3_HOME.tar.md5, use winrar not winzip to extract the zip file), flashing is very easy. Launch PC Odin and follow post# 2 of the XDA link. This step require you to put your phone to download mode which is similiar to iphone DFU mode (i guess). The whole flashing period should be less than 5 minutes.

If done successfully, you should in 2.3.5. I notice that all my app and setting are still intact. Unlike iphone IOS, they are wipe out after IOS install and need to restore from itune backup. Now you are ready for rooting.

Part 2: Rooting
1) Download InitialCFRootFlasher CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5.rar.
Important note, the version must match your kernel that you have downgrade. In this case, KK1


2) Run the batch file, not-rooted-yet.bat.
After several minutes, if things gone well, your phone is now root with CWM
Note that, there was an optional step to set your display timeout to 10minutes. I recommend that because timeout, my note screen kind of freeze during the rooting process.


Part 3: Upgrading the ROM to higher release (LA4 in my case, now there is LA6)

1) You need to download newer stock rom. In my case N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_DBT.zip.
Now, LA6 is available. Use winrar to extract the tar file to put it into your note sdcard

2) To flash to higher rom, if you use the PC Odin method in step 1, you will lose root.
You need an android app (Mobile Odin Pro - paid app) from the market. This method will allow you to flash the newer room and preserve the root.

3) Download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.rar if you are using LA4.
As you have upgrade your rom, need to fix CWM
Run batch file already-rooted.bat


Well you are done.
Although, in between steps, I did do backup using CWM and Titianum backup, the whole process (downgrading/rooting/upgrading) do not required any restoration as my data and app are intact.
In summary, rooting is relatively easy.
You should download all the necessary files before hand. And read the related posts in XDA before you commence.

Hope this help. And good luck.

its not gnote hardware or software. it is the video file itself. the file is faulty.

tried many different format actually. can someone send sample short clip that have perfect view on note so i can test it out

play other mkv/avi files. dont be to paranoid about this. play the file on the laptop first. if the video is awful, it will be disasterous in gnote. if it is good in laptop, it will be good in gnote.

Hi all, i'm in the midst of deciding whether to get a SGN to replace my s1.. i had big problem with s1 as the phone always hang and lag although i'd rooted it before.. does sgn having similar problem as well?

+1 thanks for the review.
