So Benny stunner is better than midnote?
*
Stunner is much more stable than Midnote - I don't see those minor bugs like slight freezes once a while. I have been on it only less than 2 days
You don't have Spen features eg screenshot with SPen ( developer replace it with a menu choice when you hold down power button) ; no S memo - replaced with 2 other apps - freenote and supernote - basic usage OK but cannot match Smemo features and of course no TouchWiz UI

Ok guys - short report of our meetup last night at MV Carl Jr . First of all thanks to organizer fujkenasai for organizing it. He came all the way from Ipoh by bus to set this up. And also thanks to him for accommodating my schedule to KL on this date

The meetup started at 6 pm - first to arrive were yolk n kurogane. I left at 830 pm due to other appointments. At the time I left there was 13 attendees :
myself, jtang01, kurogane, yolk, fujkenasai, kamarulhairi, peterscm, enaleni, red tsubasa ,accool, apismai.86 & girlfriend, Blank

It was nice getting to know other fellow users
We talk about our experience using the Note, roms, share and view accessories esp casings, latest developments in the smartphone. General consensus everyone was happy and some even said it was a good move shifting over from iphone 4

I pass around my HTC One X for the users to test and compare
I pass my unit for non ICS users to see the silky smoothness of the UI and apps drawers ( with 150 apps) of ICS rom Stunner 4.3 . I would say all were convinced and were ready to plunge to try. I remember there were at least 3 other users using the same rom as mine

Peterscm showed his recently bought plug in external battery pack - he has posted about this earlier in the official G Note thread. PM him if you need more info or trace back his posting about 2 days back

And finally to jtango1: this is the link by user jjamain to root your LC2 rom ; no need to downgrade
http://jjpda.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-i...pre-rooted.html
If you find the downloaded tar file is only one, it is alright - just select it as PDA in Odin and is not necessary to select the PIT file. ( Jjamain mention need to flash 3 files and PIT files in his blog )

Here are some of the other shots of the meetup. Sorry I am not a good photographer

From recovery flash abyss kernel 3.9
Select reboot recovery n select restore back your gb backup
Always do a backup of present gb rom before trying flash the ics rom

Thank you Mr. Benny... Hope you could demo composing an email using Yahoo! Mail via Samsung Galaxy Note default internet Browser and take a screenshot of it. Hope you could share the screenshot of it in the following post. (At least I can show them as a proof that others SGN have no problem composing email thru their default internet browser.

Thanks benny, will download the ICS stunner and try it out...

You can try dirty install directly on top of Midnote 3
Some user say OK , some not. I tested and faced FC on several apps and GMail couldn't work even after delete and reinstall


Added on April 8, 2012, 3:22 pmIranian_gurl: here is my short unprofessional video
I open stock browser , launch my mail in browser. Select a email - copy its contents
Launch mail app yahoo . In between I discard an earlier email,. Select compose new email and just paste copied text
You can see process is straightforward and simple

just got on ICS Stunner 4.3... HOLY CRAP THIS IS A HUGE WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!

Especially with tablet mode... now I can really use Note with one hand.

One problem though, somehow my Celcom SIM is not connecting at all, is this due to the STK not implemented yet?
*
Try taking out sim n put it back
Restart phone
Nothing to do with Stk
If is data connection check whether data enabled at settings/wireless network/mobile network or recheck apn settings
I see you just couldn't wait for ver 4.4

What's the difference between tabletUI mode and phoneUI mode? More importantly, which is better? smile.gif Based on the pics, ICS stunner definitely looks more erm... impressive than Midnote...

You select tablet mode by changing LCD density at setting/euphoria control
It will be like honeycomb tablet UI

uncle benny, any other method to flash the ics stunner rom without mobile odin pro? if i lose root by flashing via both odin, what do i do?
*
Use lite version. Try use mobile Odin lite n just reflash mid note lp5 kernel to get back root. Don't worry it can be safely use together w stunner rom
I have tested it but possible you might not get full root but this does not matter to most users unless you like to edit /system/ files

He is NOT restoring back to GB rom from recovery. It is a different case. he is using Odin to flash GB again. Don't confuse him

Well I've been using it on my Note since I got it... no problems with data access until I flashed ICS Stunner. A little disappointed I can't use it.

Maybe your credit already run out on your broadband. It is unlikely it can work on Maxis and cannot work on Celcom

Benny, have you ever tried changing the LCD density? I have come across ppl on xda forum who spoke about its advantages, ie. more "real estate" etc... Is it worth the trouble changing it?
*
Yes only minor up to 310. Depend on your taste. I am happy between 310-320
You can use rom toolbox under performance to change. Easier than edit entry ro.sf. LCD_density in build prop file
Some cook rom allow you to change easily just selecting through its settings

*
Your gb from must be full root. All your mods on it is useless n will not appear in the new ICS rom
What kernel questions are you asking
If stunner it will come w LP5.
If you want restore back to gb rom use only abyss 3.9 n no others

Hi Benny,

That's mean in order for me to install the ICS Stunner 4.3, I need to flash the abyss kernel 3.9 then restore my stock ROM LC2 back then follow the step of flashing ICS Stunner 4.3?

just to confirm....

TQ....
*
Correct
Do not reset phone after flash abyss kernel. Select reboot recovery at advanced n select restore
As your phone now on mid note reset phone will hang it as lp1 kernel replaced by incompatible abyss kernel

Only you can answer this question
If you want a bigger display get tablet. If you need phone function too I recommend tab 7.7

so, what if, we flashed abyss 3.9, then accidentally reboot the phone, like u said, it will hang, still can go into recovery mode to do flash is it? nth serious right?
maybe u should wait for asus padfone? a small smartphone, maybe the size of sgs2 and can dock on tablet to use the tablet function
*
Just take out battery n manually boot back to recovery.You will see hyperdroid recovery menu from abyss kernel.

It is OK to start with your present rom
