Each song is showing up twice in musixmatch :help: even in the gallery, there are duplicates of each photo.

 

Try to force stop Media Server and let it rescan the media. OR you can d/l any app which lets you run media server explicitly.

Get an Indian GB ROM from here. I'll recommend the following if you wish to root your Note easily.

 

N7000XXKK3 ------ 2.3.5 2011 November------ N7000ODDKK1 ------------------------India ------

 

All stock ROMs as well as flashing steps are at that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 .

Paranoid Android ROM for Note released! :dance:

Yeah I saw you were probably the first guy to reply on that XDA thread :good: .

 

So I'm on Criskelo's LPY ROM, how to go to the Paranoid Android ROM. In the thread it is recommended to go to a stock GB ROM and then the PA ROM. Any suggestions?

 

Also, what steps did you follow and which ROM were you on before PA?

^^ how does that matter, somebody ordered it through a carrier, that is why it is a pre-order

 

it matters because they haven't been "sold" - it's a placed order based on speculative demand. And if they don't get sold, they are returned back.

 

Think of it this way: You go to a wholesale shop & say you want 100 items of a device, with the conditional clause that you'll return anything that isn't sold.

 

So have you *actually* sold 100 units? Is it right to announce you have sold 100 units? No. Is it right to announce you have received an order for 100 units? Yes.

 

Samsung's got an order for 9 million units, but they haven't sold any. And the spin on the articles going on the 'tubes and what everyone believes is that Samsung have sold 9 million units.

Found some steps on the PA thread itself - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26308688&postcount=39

 

If it is to be believed then all I have to do is -

 

b1) coming from other rooted LPY-ROM or rooted ICS Stock ROM (No Wipe):

 

- boot in Recovery

- Wipe Caches and Dalvik only!!! Don't FullWipe!!!

- Flash ROM

- reboot system

-...you are done

 

An extra step would be to flash the modified GAPPS.

 

How is the performance of the ROM in tablet mode? And general experience using regular apps (any DPI issues in default setting?) ?

In any case, I am actually looking to move out of the leaked kernel LPY to a source built like CM9 safely, and then won't go back to any stock kernel unless it is 100% safe. And regular AOSP ROMs get rather boring (I went through 10 ROMs in a week on my Nexus S, hence totally bored with vanilla AOSP).

Must Watch. Will really open up some iSheep eyes

 

There are a series of videos by the same guy, each pwning iOS badly, but I didn't post it here. Now even isheeps are posting comments like "hurr durr both OS have their own pros and cons, why compare?" :lol:

 

He even compared Galaxy S with new iPad when iSheeps complained that he was comparing iOS with Galaxy Nexus :rofl:

Agree with many points in that video. iOS needs quick toggles for 3G/Wifi/BT and better Maps services and a way to have inter app communication. Also I want a feature by which i can select default apps for email, calendar etc. Sparrow released a brilliant gmail only client for iOS but i cant select it as default.

 

Some of the issues he highighted at BS though and clearly clouds IOS5. He does not even know how to use text replace in iOS when selecting text. Or text expansion which is all built into iOS5.

 

Heck, when i see his video i can see while scrolling and browsing how randomly it gets choppy on android. For me, the iOS browser is just amazingly good. Renders webpages best and at the right size and zoom in and out and the page still retains its integrity. He even agrees to this fact in his tablets comparison video.

 

Anyway, i think we will see many improvements in iOS6 :P..some new stuff and some much needed improvements too.

 

And regarding opening eyes, there are many reasons why people still buy Apple. Best support after sales. Guaranteed updates for 2-3 years. I dont get it why people dont realize why people buy iPhones even if they know it may lag in some areas. While it leads in others. Idhar samsung wale are crying about official ICS on SGS2.

Tried S Voice on my SII yesterday. Worked fine, with some FCs here and there. Kinda useless app really, and it was weird talking to a phone. Is the aisha apk leaked? It would be damn funny to try.

Aisha's just rebranded Iris, why'd you want that apk?

 

(fwiw I'm *really* unlikely to use any talk-to-phone apps, I feel really weird..)

 

Want to try and see if it replies the same as shown in ads.
