Guys, I just bought my 1st samsung phone note.
I plan to root my phone + custom rom.

I go through the detail guide of rooting,

yes, ICS german ROM. The screenie doesn't looks stock enough. Oh ya... i flashed the 15 toggles, so the notification colour changes - you are very "sharp".

no wonder la..
you still have the link for the 15 toggles thingy ar? lazy to find

yes, swiftkey will have this problem, not only in this German ICS, i think it happens in my Stunner ICS too.

did you wipe cache after flashing the toggles?

Yups the problem is solved now after i switch to samsung keyboard...
Swiftkey keyboad is not incompatible with ICS...

here you go.

try and check if the swiftkey update is available.

thanks

nope. Just flash and play.

the only problem is have to flash using CWM Recovery which a lot of XDA folks are now issuing warning all over the LPY kernel

haha...all this using cwm?

CWM. so it's a risk. But it should be fine.

since CWM got prob n the kernel + the repack in ICS?
so to play safe... I jz flash preroot-ed GB rom ?
and if really wanna flash rom... only GB rom is safe right?
p/s: gosh u guys too fast... Im so hard to pick up

yes... to be on the safe side, just flash pre-rooted GB ROM.

u can flash the lpy ics rom but don't install cf root.

then you should be fine.

do you have any problems with USB transfer after installing the 15 toggles?

if I wanna flash custom rom? choose GB custom rom only right?nid to flash CWM right? jz dnt falsh any ICS repack...

bro nas... what is CF root? i thought they claim LPY is unsafe (btw what LPY stand for) LOL...

luckily i quickly flashed it before they issue the warning...lol. They all so anxious just becoz a flash king brick his Note? I won't bother with it.

nope. Just tried.

To be super safe, don't flash any ROM. Use stock ROM
If you want to root, you can flash the pre-rooted GB LC2 ROM via PC Odin and after that flash in CF-Root LC1 to get your CWM Recovery function.
That by far is the safest kernel and safest root. No users had complain of bricking before if the steps are done correctly.

As for the LPY kernel, it was the kernel released by Samsung for the ICS German ROM and there is 1 user in XDA who got his GNote bricked after flashing the kernel via CWM Recovery from CM9 ROM.
That's the only person till date.

As for what is LPY stands for? it's just some characters abbreviations defined by Samsung during the release of any kernels. In the past there were LP1, LP5, LP6 (ICS Kernels) and there were LC1, LC2 (GB Kernels).
