Read First: Thread created ONLY for Korean Galaxy Note (SHV-E160 S/K/L ver) users. ROOT, ROM or any developments posted here cannot be used for N7000 or I717 Galaxy note ver.

I am not responsible if you damaged or bricked your phone!! Use at your own risk!! I do not own nor created the developments posted here.

I created this thread to post the developments and support for our beloved Korean Galaxy Note as well as to compile the tutorials inside and outside XDA all in 1 thread.

Note: If you decide to share a recent development here, please specify/tag if applicable to all SHV models or specific model only (e.g, [e160 s/k/l] or [e160 S only]).

Basic Commands/terms:
1.)Download mode: Turn off the phone. When it’s completely turned off press [Volume down (-) + Home + Power]. Once you see the Korean text press Volume up (+).

2.) Recovery mode: Turn off the phone. When it’s completely turned off press [Volume up (+) + Volume down (-) + Home + Power]. You should see the recovery mode at the top of your LCD screen (either tegrak or clockworkmod recovery). To navigate, press Volume up or down and use the power button as your “enter/ok” button.

3.) ROOT – gaining admin access to your phone.

4.) Root File: Some were mislead by searching for a folder named “root”. “Root” is equivalent to /sdcard (not external sdcard or a folder named “root”). So when the instruction tells you to put a specific file to the root it means that you put it inside the /sdcard.

5.) Flash – the term “flash” in android’s world means “transfer”. When a guide tells you to “flash” partition, it implies that you transfer the contents to a partition (such as system, cache, data, boot, recovery etc…). There are different kinds of data you can flash such as recovery, rom, kernel etc. this can be done by using your PC/Laptop using ODIN for PC or Heimdall for mac or ROM Manager.

3.) Checking your Korean Galaxy note version- Korean galaxy notes have different versions and it depends with the Korean carrier. To check if you have either S/K/L go to settings > About phone. Also note your basedband version (UI24, UH24, F09 etc….).


Developments:

1.) Successful debrick of Korean Galaxy note. Thanks to darkspr1te and to the contributors. You can find his page here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914359&page=10).

2.) ROOT- Before rooting your phone make sure you have upgraded to ICS 4.0.4. You can download Kies here (http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/) to upgrade or do it via phone by going to settings>about phone>system updates>check updates. Make sure your phone battery is at least over 50% . If you’re using a laptop, make sure the battery life is full or better plug it in. Don’t use a cheap cable. Please use the one you got from Samsung.

a) [e160 s/k/l] Root instructions by jairrab: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1924535) I used this one to root my phone because it's easy to follow especially for root virgins. However, the instructions does not include the Clockworkmod recovery (CWM) installation. Hence, do this AFTER successfully installing the Tegrak Recovery:​

I.) Download CWM Recovery (v6.0.1) cwm.tar here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cyitd4ce3jq0zb4/cwm.tar)
II.) Put the downloaded file to the root of the phone (/sdcard)
III.) Follow the same method you used when you installed the Tegrak Recovery.​

b) [e160L only] Root instructions by mycatisether: (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1775015) found some useful info here (removing sms limit etc…) that are applicable to all Korean GN models.​

3.) Post ROOT developments:

a.)BACK UP! After rooting your phone I advised that you do a NANDROID back up first (requiment: CWM recovery see 2.a in development section). It is a complete back-up of your phone. So anytime you can go back to your phone’s last condition. Do the following to make a nandroid back up using the CWM recovery.​

I.) Flash CWM recovery
II.) Go to recovery mode
III.) Navigate using volume up or volume down and select “back up and restore” press power key to enter.
IV.) You should be in back up menu now. Navigate and select back up and hit the power button again. This will take awhile. Be patient.
V.) Once the back-up is done, navigate to “reboot system now” and hit the power button.
VI.) After reboot. Go to /sdcard and copy the clockworkmod folder to a safe place​
.

b.) Custom ROM:​
1.) [e160 s/k/l] CM9 Stable – Requirements: Rooted phone with CWM recovery (see 2.a under development section above)​
1.a) Download the following files and put inside the root (do not unzip)

CM9 ROM (https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaz0k19ddz0xytz/cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip)

Front camera fix (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zqcjeegm6wn8vk2/old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip)

Google App for CM9 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/65703m0trd38gii/gapps.zip)

1.b) After copying the files in the root go to recovery mode (how to go to recovery mode? Read above).

1.c) In recovery mode select > “wipe data/factory reset” and select yes. > select “wipe cache partition” and select yes. > select advance > wipe dalvik and select yes.

1.d) After step 1.c STAY IN RECOVERY MODE and install the files you downloaded IN ORDER. Go to > “install zip from SD card” > 1st install CM9 ROM (cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip) > 2nd install camera fix (old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip) > lastly, install Google app (gapps.zip).

1.e) Reboot and enjoy! Do not install the Korean keyboard! Or you can just uninstall it.

I personally use this CM9 ROM and it runs perfectly! I have no issues with the sms, battery, camera etc… All Korean bloatwares gone. No Korean keypad. Can send over 1000+ characters.

I really recommend the “Cobalt” theme as it made the CM9 even more smoother and you can download it here for free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h_result&rdid=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt&rdot=1) then go to settings>themes>select cobalt (ignore the message does not contain assets etc…).

If your SMS limit is not fixed. Download GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS in google play store. Use it as your main messaging app. It will solve the problem.

Some have issues with their touchscreens. To solve this you can go to dialer and dial >*#2663# (no need to press the call button). Click “Touch key FW update” then reboot.​

2.) Other ROMs – with some research and the help of the Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese I was able to locate the following ROMs. Please note that I have not tested these ROMs, as such I cannot guarantee if they are working properly (however, darkspr1te told us the he will test some ROMs and provide feedback – just to prevent hard/soft brick). Some ROMs I found have instructions, some do not have. I’ll post my source and you can just use google translate and read the instructions from Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese websites. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE TAGGING I MADE. (E.G., IF IT's TAGGED WITH [S/K/L] IT MEANS IT’S COMPATIBLE TO ANY KOREAN GN (SHV E160]. IF IT'S TAGGED WITH [L ONLY], IT MEANS IT’S ONLY APPLICABLE TO E160L GN VER. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!​

a) [S/K/L] MIUI 2.8.3 Beta (http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=80764&uk=2063664816) – known 4G and battery problems. Translated source here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/125842).

b) [L _UH24 ONLY] E160L UH24 GS3 style: (http://translate.googleusercontent....292641&usg=ALkJrhgNhnm3YD4P1xetBLAImDaM9vu5og

c)[T_UI24 ONLY] UI24 Jellybean style – really don’t know what is this. You need to log-in before you can see the downloadable file (http://matcl.com/b/usertheme/126333). Not sure if ROM or theme.

d) [S/K/L] Alpha1 ROM based on the stable CM9 above. I did not test it. Seems like icons were changed etc… You can download the ROM here ( still uploading to dropbox). See the translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/126864) . Follow the same process when you installed the CM9 ROM above.

e) [S_UH24 ONLY] Based on Original e160S_UH24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/JCIBDHYSVQTU) password is E160S-eruizhi (case sensitive). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...u=http://bbs.eruizhi.com/android-229-1-1.html)

f) [K_UI24 ONLY] Based on Original e160k_UI24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://bbs.eruizhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...d=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=)​


MORE TO COME... I will update the thread later.

I find the CM9 the best-cooked ROM for our SHVs to date. All issues were resolved in this ROM.​


d.) Recommended apps for rooted phones (just search in google playstore):​
1.) Battery Calibration (free)
2.) Titanium Backup (free or Pro)
3.) ROM Toolbox
4.) SD Maid
5.) Superuser or SuperSU
6.) Internet booster (really working for me)​

USEFUL SOURCES:
1.) http://bbs.eruizhi.com/ (Chinese Website with useful infos)
2.) http://www.koxda.com/ (very informative but hard to get access for downloadable files.)
3.) http://matcl.com/ (Korean Website. Most of the cooked ROMs came from this website including the CM9. No CM10 update for now.)
4.) http://www.tinhte.vn (Very informative Vietnamese forum with lots of ROM links)
5.) http://www.115.com (This is a download site. Use the search toolbar to search for something and if you are lucky you may find yourself a treasure)​

QUICK FIX:
1.) SMS Limit:
a.) Download GO SMS PRO or Handcent SMS. Make it your default sms app.
b.) They have other solution here (may not work to some KGN) (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1775015)

2.) Removed U+ LTE boot and shutdown animations go here (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1702580).​

SECRET CODES (courtesy of darkspr1te):

Engineer mode 319 712 358 and then the password 0821.
EDIT:- Use the 319712358 code to activate CP access, not service mode or phoneutil.

Issues with cm9:
Engineer mode cannot be activated using the cm9 dialer.
No S settings support. so no s-memo or any s-app. but you can still use your s-pen. Use SMBX for drawings.
No gesture support. :(

Cm9 does not support S-pen apps and S-pen calibration. But it can still detect the pen.

However we have better alternatives and I personally use them even when I was still in touchwiz.

1.) SBMX - One of the best canvas app for galaxy note. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo&hl=en)
2.) Memo - Much like the S-app but better (you can crop picts, map, etc..) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo&hl=en).
3.) Papyrus - Much like an S-note.

for gestures download >>> GMD Gesture Control Lite - you get more gesture with this app compared to touchwiz gestures. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nb29kbW9vZGRyb2lkLmdlc3R1cmVjb250cm9sZGVtbyJd)

I personally find the alternatives better than the s-apps..... But really... I miss the double tap quick note of touchwiz.

Another Cm9 issue I noticed:

Installation failed for apps purchased from Google playstore. Only for apps that automatically install itself in the internal storage SD card. No problem for other apps that automatically install in internal storage.

Solution: unmount the external SD card and internal SD card then download and install the app from playstore. Once installed, mount the SD cards back and just transfer the app from internal storage to SD card. :D

Hi dycz21,

First of all i appreciate your work for bringing out CM 9 ROM for our beloved E160S/L/K.
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Gonna install it tonight.
As you have already installed this ROM, are there any other major issues other than S pen settings?

Anyways thanks again.

:good:

Installing apps from Playstore always failed for apps that automatically install in SD Card. Solution is unmount the sd card(internal and external) then install the app from Playstore. Then mount back the SD cards after the app has been installed in phone memory. No problem for Playstore apps that automatically install in phone memory.

I tried to move some apps from phone memory to SD card but its not working (using apps2SD). Will try to find the solution.

S-Pen is still recognized we just dont have the s-pen settings and s touchwiz apps.

Im happy with the cm9 ROM. its fast as compared to touchwiz.

By the way, before installing make sure to back up your contacts, messages, viper and whatsapp messages and your APN settings. Also do a NAND back up. You need to set your APN manually after installing the cm9.

My understanding: When you go to "settings" > "storage" you will see your storage is divided into 3 sections: (1) Internal storage (phone memory)/ (2) Internal storage (sd card) / (3) sd card (external storage). If you download from Playstore some apps automatically install in storage #1 (phone memory). For this we have no problem. For apps that directly install in storage #2, this we have the problem. Installation will fail for this apps. Solution is unmount storage #2 and #3 then start to download from playstore and install. The app will be forced to install in the phone memory and installation is successful.

So after you installed the app and decided to move the app to storage #2 or #3 you will encounter a new problem. Moving the app to #2 and #3 will always fail. I am still trying to figure out a solution. I think the chinese already sorted this issues but I dont have access to their website to download the files. Hopefully darkspr1te can help us as he have access to the website. I am still waiting for the koreans to post the solution.

    Read First: Thread created ONLY for Korean Galaxy Note (SHV-E160 S/K/L ver) users. ROOT, ROM or any developments posted here cannot be used for N7000 or I717 Galaxy note ver.

    I am not responsible if you damaged or bricked your phone!! Use at your own risk!! I do not own nor created the developments posted here.

    I created this thread to post the developments and support for our beloved Korean Galaxy Note as well as to compile the tutorials inside and outside XDA all in 1 thread.

    Note: If you decide to share a recent development here, please specify/tag if applicable to all SHV models or specific model only (e.g, [e160 s/k/l] or [e160 S only]).

    Basic Commands/terms:
    1.)Download mode: Turn off the phone. When it’s completely turned off press [Volume down (-) + Home + Power]. Once you see the Korean text press Volume up (+).

    2.) Recovery mode: Turn off the phone. When it’s completely turned off press [Volume up (+) + Volume down (-) + Home + Power]. You should see the recovery mode at the top of your LCD screen (either tegrak or clockworkmod recovery). To navigate, press Volume up or down and use the power button as your “enter/ok” button.

    3.) ROOT – gaining admin access to your phone.

    4.) Root File: Some were mislead by searching for a folder named “root”. “Root” is equivalent to /sdcard (not external sdcard or a folder named “root”). So when the instruction tells you to put a specific file to the root it means that you put it inside the /sdcard.

    5.) Flash – the term “flash” in android’s world means “transfer”. When a guide tells you to “flash” partition, it implies that you transfer the contents to a partition (such as system, cache, data, boot, recovery etc…). There are different kinds of data you can flash such as recovery, rom, kernel etc. this can be done by using your PC/Laptop using ODIN for PC or Heimdall for mac or ROM Manager.

    3.) Checking your Korean Galaxy note version- Korean galaxy notes have different versions and it depends with the Korean carrier. To check if you have either S/K/L go to settings > About phone. Also note your basedband version (UI24, UH24, F09 etc….).


    Developments:

    1.) Successful debrick of Korean Galaxy note. Thanks to darkspr1te and to the contributors. You can find his page here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914359&page=10).

    2.) ROOT- Before rooting your phone make sure you have upgraded to ICS 4.0.4. You can download Kies here (http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/) to upgrade or do it via phone by going to settings>about phone>system updates>check updates. Make sure your phone battery is at least over 50% . If you’re using a laptop, make sure the battery life is full or better plug it in. Don’t use a cheap cable. Please use the one you got from Samsung.

    a) [e160 s/k/l] Root instructions by jairrab: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1924535) I used this one to root my phone because it's easy to follow especially for root virgins. However, the instructions does not include the Clockworkmod recovery (CWM) installation. Hence, do this AFTER successfully installing the Tegrak Recovery:​

    I.) Download CWM Recovery (v6.0.1) cwm.tar here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cyitd4ce3jq0zb4/cwm.tar)
    II.) Put the downloaded file to the root of the phone (/sdcard)
    III.) Follow the same method you used when you installed the Tegrak Recovery.​

    b) [e160L only] Root instructions by mycatisether: (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1775015) found some useful info here (removing sms limit etc…) that are applicable to all Korean GN models.​

    3.) Post ROOT developments:

    a.)BACK UP! After rooting your phone I advised that you do a NANDROID back up first (requiment: CWM recovery see 2.a in development section). It is a complete back-up of your phone. So anytime you can go back to your phone’s last condition. Do the following to make a nandroid back up using the CWM recovery.​

    I.) Flash CWM recovery
    II.) Go to recovery mode
    III.) Navigate using volume up or volume down and select “back up and restore” press power key to enter.
    IV.) You should be in back up menu now. Navigate and select back up and hit the power button again. This will take awhile. Be patient.
    V.) Once the back-up is done, navigate to “reboot system now” and hit the power button.
    VI.) After reboot. Go to /sdcard and copy the clockworkmod folder to a safe place​
    .

    b.) Custom ROM:​
    1.) [e160 s/k/l] CM9 Stable – Requirements: Rooted phone with CWM recovery (see 2.a under development section above)​
    1.a) Download the following files and put inside the root (do not unzip)

    CM9 ROM (https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaz0k19ddz0xytz/cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip)

    Front camera fix (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zqcjeegm6wn8vk2/old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip)

    Google App for CM9 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/65703m0trd38gii/gapps.zip)

    1.b) After copying the files in the root go to recovery mode (how to go to recovery mode? Read above).

    1.c) In recovery mode select > “wipe data/factory reset” and select yes. > select “wipe cache partition” and select yes. > select advance > wipe dalvik and select yes.

    1.d) After step 1.c STAY IN RECOVERY MODE and install the files you downloaded IN ORDER. Go to > “install zip from SD card” > 1st install CM9 ROM (cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip) > 2nd install camera fix (old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip) > lastly, install Google app (gapps.zip).

    1.e) Reboot and enjoy! Do not install the Korean keyboard! Or you can just uninstall it.

    I personally use this CM9 ROM and it runs perfectly! I have no issues with the sms, battery, camera etc… All Korean bloatwares gone. No Korean keypad. Can send over 1000+ characters.

    I really recommend the “Cobalt” theme as it made the CM9 even more smoother and you can download it here for free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h_result&rdid=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt&rdot=1) then go to settings>themes>select cobalt (ignore the message does not contain assets etc…).

    If your SMS limit is not fixed. Download GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS in google play store. Use it as your main messaging app. It will solve the problem.

    Some have issues with their touchscreens. To solve this you can go to dialer and dial >*#2663# (no need to press the call button). Click “Touch key FW update” then reboot.​

    2.) Other ROMs – with some research and the help of the Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese I was able to locate the following ROMs. Please note that I have not tested these ROMs, as such I cannot guarantee if they are working properly (however, darkspr1te told us the he will test some ROMs and provide feedback – just to prevent hard/soft brick). Some ROMs I found have instructions, some do not have. I’ll post my source and you can just use google translate and read the instructions from Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese websites. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE TAGGING I MADE. (E.G., IF IT's TAGGED WITH [S/K/L] IT MEANS IT’S COMPATIBLE TO ANY KOREAN GN (SHV E160]. IF IT'S TAGGED WITH [L ONLY], IT MEANS IT’S ONLY APPLICABLE TO E160L GN VER. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!​

    a) [S/K/L] MIUI 2.8.3 Beta (http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=80764&uk=2063664816) – known 4G and battery problems. Translated source here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/125842).

    b) [L _UH24 ONLY] E160L UH24 GS3 style: (http://translate.googleusercontent....292641&usg=ALkJrhgNhnm3YD4P1xetBLAImDaM9vu5og

    c)[T_UI24 ONLY] UI24 Jellybean style – really don’t know what is this. You need to log-in before you can see the downloadable file (http://matcl.com/b/usertheme/126333). Not sure if ROM or theme.

    d) [S/K/L] Alpha1 ROM based on the stable CM9 above. I did not test it. Seems like icons were changed etc… You can download the ROM here ( still uploading to dropbox). See the translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/126864) . Follow the same process when you installed the CM9 ROM above.

    e) [S_UH24 ONLY] Based on Original e160S_UH24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/JCIBDHYSVQTU) password is E160S-eruizhi (case sensitive). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...u=http://bbs.eruizhi.com/android-229-1-1.html)

    f) [K_UI24 ONLY] Based on Original e160k_UI24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://bbs.eruizhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...d=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=)​


    MORE TO COME... I will update the thread later.

    I find the CM9 the best-cooked ROM for our SHVs to date. All issues were resolved in this ROM.​


    d.) Recommended apps for rooted phones (just search in google playstore):​
    1.) Battery Calibration (free)
    2.) Titanium Backup (free or Pro)
    3.) ROM Toolbox
    4.) SD Maid
    5.) Superuser or SuperSU
    6.) Internet booster (really working for me)​

    USEFUL SOURCES:
    1.) http://bbs.eruizhi.com/ (Chinese Website with useful infos)
    2.) http://www.koxda.com/ (very informative but hard to get access for downloadable files.)
    3.) http://matcl.com/ (Korean Website. Most of the cooked ROMs came from this website including the CM9. No CM10 update for now.)
    4.) http://www.tinhte.vn (Very informative Vietnamese forum with lots of ROM links)
    5.) http://www.115.com (This is a download site. Use the search toolbar to search for something and if you are lucky you may find yourself a treasure)​

    QUICK FIX:
    1.) SMS Limit:
    a.) Download GO SMS PRO or Handcent SMS. Make it your default sms app.
    b.) They have other solution here (may not work to some KGN) (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1775015)

    2.) Removed U+ LTE boot and shutdown animations go here (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1702580).​

    SECRET CODES (courtesy of darkspr1te):

    Engineer mode 319 712 358 and then the password 0821.
    EDIT:- Use the 319712358 code to activate CP access, not service mode or phoneutil.

    As the Thread Title says.
    Support And Sharing,
    With sharing in mind I present my first Port,
    CWM 6.0.1.2 for SHV-E160L

    install via your current cwm

    Copy zip file to your /sdcard/ via adb (adb push zipfilename /sdcard/ )
    reboot into recovery either via Rom manager or select reset from power menu and hold vol up & vol down or power off device, remove battery and replace battery (USB cable Unplugged) then hold power vol up & vol down, release power when you feel vibration motor.

    It seems it's normal to also post a huge list of features in colour fonts, not going to.

    It's CWM 6 with UH24 kernal, has adb function for devss.

    Ubuntu users , if you get ??????? permissions error or adb does not work quite right then try this,

    edit /etc/udev/rules/99.android.rules

    paste following into the above file

    @dycz21 could you update the front page for me, shv-e160l getting some love in the updated cwm.

    Why did i port this? , because http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ didnt work for me , it bricked my device ** warning to other users**, I will find out why and inform the web site producers, but for now i need cwm so i can work on cm10 roms :cool:
    plus i want to ensure that my debrick update works across devices so i need to set a standard recovery for all shv-e160x devices.
    next up is twrp as soon as the coffee kicks in.

    Hi All,
    As of today i Will no longer have my SHV-E160L note, I have decided to sell it on and upgrade. I was a hard choice i can tell you as i've had a lot of fun hacking this device. I will still try and assist all Korean note users where i can, but without the device in my hands i will be limited somewhat.
    I will also upload all of my CM10/10.1 work to my git hub if any users wish to continue my work. (github.com/darkspr1te).

    I could not think of a better crowd of people to meet in a journey like this, and other users not on this site like jcsullins and many more.

    Also all MY source code will be made public. I will post links here once i've completed uploading.

    For a time i will be using a gt-n7000 note so my research will continue but based on samsung cpu.


    Many Thanks

    Hi there!

    I have a Korean Galaxy Note (SHV-E160K) and I have upgraded it to Android 4.1.2 using Kies. The current firmware version is PDA:JMC3/Phone: JLL6 (KTF) in Kies.

    Much to my frustration, I noticed there is no Multi-window feature available in my phone. I should be most grateful if someone could teach me how to enable it.

    Thanks!!
