going to install this ROM tonight on my note 10.1 coming from stock 4.1.2 :)

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

gonna love to try dis rom... a friend has N8000 tablet & wants me to pimp it for him... where can i start cos its OS current version is; 4.1.2!
thanks.

first thing you gonna do is to install the custom recovery by ODIN (download it from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote10.1/recovery/HighOnAndroidv1CWMRecoveryGTN8000.tar )

then you're good to flash the rom .zip by CWM recovery ( download it from here: http://www.androidrevolution.org/do...file=Android_Revolution_HD-Note_10.1_21.0.zip )

compatability mode problem

Hi, I just installed the v21 rom and is working pretty well. Unfortunately I can not install:HD Revolution ROM Compatibility Pack for N8010 & N8013 - V11.x. It stacks in aroma mode and freezes.
is there any other ways to install this mode, because it's crucial for me to install the exchange active sync accounts on this tab.
update: i managed to install it through aroma, but the tab wont start, stacks on black screen after the samsung note 10.1 logo. any ideas how to get this things to work.
I am on n8010 tab.
please any advice as son as possible.
Thanks in advance.

No idea of stability or if my steps are accurate.

I came from Gnabo using the Boeffla kernel http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/downloads-samsung-phones

My steps. Hope it works for you.
Installed Revolution ROM. Rebooted, wireless doesn't work. went through setup skipping steps that required Internet access.
Rebooted installed Boeffla Kernel.
Rebooted Wireless turns on and networks seen but don't actually connect.
Rebooted and installed the wireless fix from GNABO
Rebooted wireless connects

Good luck.

I just wanted to leave my experience here for those struggling with WiFi on the 8013. I used the steps above and now have working WiFi on my 8013. Thanks!

However, as has been mentioned, the model is still listed as 8000 in settings because flashing the compatibility pack causes it to boot to a black screen. Can't win them all... ;)

If I remember correctly there is a problem with aroma with certain recoveries... This might be what's wrong but I can't remember if it's twrp or Cwm...

I loaded the 21 version of this ROM coming from ver 11 so it's been a while since I've flashed anything to it. Everything was working fine except the Wifi. The compatibility pack installed for me but it prevented the ROM from loading. I tried another stock kernel I found in XDA somewhere just to try (don't remember which exactly). The ROM did not load and the Ext SD card stopped reading even in recovery, so clearly that didn't work XD

I followed the suggestion of others who tried the Boeffla (my experience here) and now everything is working beautifully. Learned how to create my own odin flashable(s) through the experience so a lesson worth learned.

Great battery life, zippy, fast, clean experience... I will have a better idea of performance once I get everything loaded back up. I had quite a few apps before. Happy to be up and running since this is the tablet I mainly use when I meet with clients.

Just curious. where is the "stock kernel" that is included with this ROM sourced from? Kinda weird the 8013's are having issues with it.

Thanks!

You may change the model name in buildprop (located in /system)

excactly which kernel did you flash?

i tried:
Code:
boeffla-kernel-2.5-Samsung-n801x.CWM.zip
boeffla-kernel-3.0-beta6-Samsung-n801x.CWM.zip

both versions gave me a black screen. I have CWM recovery

fixed by flashing boeffla-kernel-3.0-beta7-Samsung-n801x.recovery.zip, wifi in tha house now :)

thank you in advance

I'm using the very latest (3.0 beta 7). I downloaded it from here. This is the file I loaded using ODIN:

Code:
boeffla-kernel-3.0-beta7-Samsung-n801x.tar.md5

If you read this update for beta 7 in the main Boeffla thread, it mentions that beta 7 should fix some booting issues. This is the only version I've used, so I can't comment on the others. Everything has been running beautifully on my end since install.

I attached a screenshot of the kernel I am running. I haven't tried the compatibility pack yet since it was giving me a bunch of issues booting before I loaded the Boeffla kernel. Hence the model # is wrong in the ROM, but the kernel version is correct.

It is not possible to install whatsapp on this rom. I was able to export the apk file from my phone to thee tablet but was unable to install cos the install button was inactive. I could do this with the stock rom that came with it.

I have tried several ways to get this rom to work. I get no wifi, and when I use the compatibity fix, it won't boot. I add the "beo" kernel, it won't finish booting. I really want to try this rom, but it won't work for me.

Hello! First of all, this is perfect, very fast, finally my tablet is good to use! Wifi work, bluetooth work, everything is running smooth. But I need a help.
When I create a new user (multiple users on tablet) and I try to add a google account, it says something like that "impossible to login" the reason is a problem with the google server comunication. I can just connect on the main tablet user.

how do I fix it?

ps: on the original ROM works well.

Thanks a lot

    Important notes:
    1. If you want to say "Thanks!"

    There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:
    • Press the "Thanks" button.
    • Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
    • Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
    • Advertise my work to your friends.
    • Rate my thread with 5 stars.
    Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!

    2. Sharing policy

    This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
    • Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
    • Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
    • Give proper credits for what you used.
    • When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
      obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

    Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
    • ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
    • Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
    • Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.
    Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!

    3. Support

    If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.
    If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

    4. Signature banners for users

    Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.
    • Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
      Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!

    • Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
      Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!

    • Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
      What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.
    Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

    Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

    2) Remove unnecessary files related to telephony and sms
    3) Removing some lcon's from SystemUI (modified SystemUI.apk)
    4) Disable telephone and sms services with modified framework-res.apk
    5) added new Reboot Menu] from N8010 /N8013 without Dataplan Option and 4-Way Reboot Option
    6) added Stock Kernel for N8010 (from CMD2) and N8013 (from CMD3)

    It can be flashed over any ROM based on GT-N8000 XXCML2 firmware.

    Here is the Battery MOD (>V10.0):
    (flash it over CWM!) (change Icons and Files with VRThemer)

    Because the new Script based on VRThemer you dont need an extra Battery MOD for the N8010/N8013... the SystemUI is based on N8000 and so you can use the N8000er Battery MOD!

    faq.png


    Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
    A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
    Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
    And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
    For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

    Q 2: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
    A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

    Q 3: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my devivce.
    A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

    Q 4: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
    A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)

    Q 5: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
    A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
    Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

    Q 6: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
    A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

    Q 7: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
    A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

    Q 8: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
    A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

    Q 9: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
    A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
    If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

    Q 10: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
    A: There are some solutions:
    1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
    2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
    3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
    4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.
    5. Read this, this, this & this
    6. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

    Q 11: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
    A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

    Q 12: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
    A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
    There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
    What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
    Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

    Q 13: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
