wow, cant use juice defender or setcpu?

You can use them, but it is hard for us to troubleshoot when people say "My phone just rebooted, why?" with no other information provided
I created the settings in tools to be very specific to this kernel and rom and believe them to work best. That is why we suggest using what is provided.
So far talking with someone else using the rom Go Power Manager looks like it may be a culprit for random reboots. That is not a definite but a very strong maybe. So as this is a brand new release we need help troubleshooting issues. One of them is to ask people not to restore a bunch of stuff or use a bunch of CPU and system tweaks. Hard to troubleshoot other people's apps etc. It is a lot easier to start with what we create and fix the problems internally.
Thanks and enjoy the ride!

I know this ROM is based on the att dump. did anyone with a Rogers phone flash this? I had an att ROM before and had a few issues with the 4g, the order I would receive txt and with reading the time/date from network. Really wanna try it out but would like to know what awaits me lol.

And good job guys! This looks awesome, so excited!

The goo.im I see is an app? So we download it and install it rather than flash?

screw it. apparently i'm too ignorant to figure all this out. learning from captivate, tried to go to stock prior to flashing new rom. got da_g stock rar file but can't flash with odin. not able to get to any kind of recovery screen...stock or modified. i clearly don't know what the hell i'm doing. .....taking a hammer to the note!

I know I'm gonna catch hell for this.....would it be possible to post a step-by-step install for this? ....I'm a Marine so I need it broken down "Barney Style". LOL A million thanks to you guys!!!

1. Be sure to install CWM from HERE
2. After installing CWM turn phone off
3. Boot to CWM by holding down Volume+ and Volume- simultaneously then the Power Button
4. Using your Volume+ or Volume- navigate to wipe data/factory reset then Power button to select
5. Using your Volume+ or Volume- navigate to Yes -- delete all user data then Power button to select
6. After that Go Back then Select install zip from sdcard
7. Navigate to The-Unofficial-v1.0XX.zip and install
8. Reboot and enjoy

There is no need to wipe system or cache at any point as I have this covered in the installer script. It formats /system partition and /cache partition to ext4 on install I left out data wipe so when updating to future versions of The Unofficial you have the choice to wipe your data or not. Wiping data will not be required if going from one version of The Unofficial to another version. Data wipe is 100% required when coming from a different rom!
Enjoy the ride!

What is the difference between fj tools OTA and the goo OTA?

FJ-Tools OTA is a repository of downloads for the rom, themes, keyboards, dialers etc. If there are updates to tools or the rom FJ-Tools OTA will prompt you to update too when you open the OTA part of Tools(work in progress not much there right now)

goo.im is just an OTA that is specific to goo.im for rom updates etc.

Enjoy the ride!

    The Collective Proudly Presents The-Unofficialv1.5-Emily!
    For Galaxy Note


    *DISCLAIMER*
    You do this knowing all risks involved with flashing a ROM.

    This is considered an Alpha release so please treat it like an Alpha and expect bugs and some things not to work properly.

    Special thanks to Flappjaxxx. He's been specially working on this project with me, and without him, this would not be where it currently is. Please spam his THANKS button whenever you see him and show him much appreciation!

    What users are saying!

    I am very disappointed in this rom. Everything works perfect!!!! Not reboots no FC's no nothing nada WTF. Now what do i do with all my free time. Dang you guys!! Looks like now i have the time to use this phone instead of always fixing and re flashing and i am just so confused now. Never had the time to use this as a phone. So how do i make a phone call again???
    I don't usually post anything relating to battery life on ROM's, for what I believe are obvious reasons, but I couldn't hold back with this one. The Collective magic you guys have concocted for this release has made my battery last an incredibly long time, phenomenal work!!!
    This is the first time with a device that I've been privileged to experience the professionalism that is The Collective. The way you handle yourselves in this community is like nothing I've seen before, the bar has definitely been set higher.
    Just a new definition for perfection.......Unofficially of course!

    *Read This Entire Post Completely Then Read it Again*


    *WARNING*
    -Do not ask for support or complain that something doesn't work because YOU flash someone else's kernel.
    -Do not ask for support or complain that something doesn't work because YOU restore apps and/or data and/or system settings from Titanium Backup or Mybackup etc.
    -The kernel included is specific to this build and the only one supported.
    -Do Not ask for ETA on the next release
    -Do Not ask for help if you didn't full wipe before coming from a different rom!
    -Do Not Flame other users in my thread! That's my job alone!
    -Enjoy the rom and remember it is ALPHA Quality and sure to contain bugs


    Known Issues:
    -Conservative Governor produces Hot Reboots - DON'T use it

    What is it you ask?
    -A Serious Work in Progress!
    -This is built from a stock dump from flappjaxxx's phone
    -Gingerbreak 2.3.6
    -deodexed
    -Standard AT&T Bloatware removed
    -FJ-Tools app with OTA features built by flappjaxxx
    -ADW Launcher built from source by flappjaxxx, optimized for the Note, who says ADW isn't fast!
    -Da_G OverClocked Kernel
    -lidroid 14 toggle user defined toggles
    -CRT Off Animation
    -OTA updates via FJ-tools
    -Pushed OTA updates via goo.im, check out the app!
    -Andrev OC built in with CPU Tweak for custom Sleep/Wake Profiles
    -ES File Manager
    -Titanium Backup
    -Supersu
    -TwoPumpChump Dialer with Removed Yellow Pages
    -Tons of Features in FJ-Tools
    -Ability to enable or disable TouchWiz Interface via FJ-Tools
    -Again Please keep in mind that this is an Alpha Release. It is very stable for every day use but will contain bugs​

    How To:
    1. Back Up your Stuff.
    2. Full wipe is required if coming from another ROM
    4. Flash .zip in recovery
    5. Allow full first boot, reboot
    6. Sign in to Market to add account.
    7. Open Collective Tools from Settings Menu and make it your own.
    8. Rate the thread and hit some "Thanks" buttons!​

    Custom OC Profiles:
    Sloth - Sleep = powersave 384/384 + Wake = ondemand 384/1134
    flappjaxxx - Sleep = ondemand 192/192 + Wake = ondemand 192/1566
    rasroy -Sleep = ondemand 192/192 + Wake = ondemand 192/1566
    Nun - Sleep = ondemand 192/192 + Wake = ondemand 384/1566
    Lone Star - Sleep = ondemand 384/384 + Wake = ondemand 384/1728

    In the CPU Tab hit your Menu button and you will see CPU Tweak.
    CPU Tweak is exactly that, it will allow you to fully customize your Sleep and Wake Governors and Clock Speeds.
    *Warning* Do be careful with this as using incorrect settings may have ill effects.
    Do not use these setting unless you know what you are doing.​

    Troubleshooting:
    1. Did you do a full wipe?? If not, please do.
    2. Did you reboot?
    3. Don't restore app data via TIBU
    4. Post in this thread
    5. If you need more help, download the Android or PC app "Palringo" from the OTA, and join the group: theandroidcollective

    The Future of The Unofficial

    So here we are already. Kind of bittersweet. We will probably release one more version of The Unofficial with the fixes I added yesterday but that will probably be the end of the line as it looks like me, smitty and Johnson and the rest of the crew on this side will all be working together to make a super swell ICS rom. Stay tuned! Johnson and I were up until all hours on the ICS build but I pussed out about 2 hours before he did. We will have good stuff in store. Already have a version of Tools ported to ICS as well being my last ROM before coming over to the Note was in fact ICS so it was tough going back to GB but fun while it lasted!
    We are waiting on kernel source then we will work our magic on that as well.
    Thanks everyone for keeping this thread clean and friendly.
    Thanks to that one knucklehead that came in and flamed for no good reason, I guess every thread has to have that one knucklehead, so again thanks to you knucklehead for keeping this thread consistent with the rest of XDA.

    Enjoy the ride!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: AT&T Visual VoiceMail is not working for me?
    A: You probably have used the my messages app. AT&T needs to reset your voicemail account, just call them up! There's nothing we can do! You can download the VVM app from here

    Q: How do I get into recovery?
    A: For now, select reboot from dropdown, and then select Recovery...or power off your phone, then hold both volume + and - and press power, release power when you see the Samsung screen, but keep holding the volume buttons

    Q: BLN is not working with this ROM, how can I make it work?
    A: Flash this!

    Quick Update

    Just wanted to give everyone a quick update.
    The Collective group including myself have been working hard at the ICS release. I know there was some word of a possible Saturday release, but I am letting everyone know that this isn't going to happen. As tomorrow is Easter I will be with my family and not doing anything Android related. What does that mean to you? That means the Easter Bunny will only be bringing you candy and Easter Eggs. I talked with Johnson last night and we agreed rushing a release out just to have it out wasn't the best idea. We would rather have you wait patiently for something more than just another ICS rom. We have good stuff in store but you are going to have to wait for it. How long? I am not sure. It will be ready and released when it is truly tested and ready. Right now it is not ready. We hold ourselves to a particular standard and a big part of that standard is not to disappoint. I'm going to ask everyone nicely to not ask for ETAs and to not flood us with feature requests. We got you covered. Everyone have a safe and happy Holiday!

    Enjoy the ride!

    THANK YOU!!!

    I'm really at a loss of words as to what to say. On behalf of myself, Emily, our family, and all those battling cancer right now... Thank you!

    For those who don't know the whole story, my daughter (at the time a couple weeks shy of her 9th birthday) was diagnosed with bone cancer in January last year. It was at that time that I began participating more in XDA whether it be answering questions, or theming, or doing whatever I could to take my mind off of things for a while.

    Her first round of chemo was to last about 8 months... everything looked great up until the very last scan. It revealed that the cancer had spread. Since then we've tried a variety of what are known as less effective chemo drugs in the hopes that one was the magic formula to rid her of it. However, just last week we found out that nothing was working, and in fact, it had spread very rapidly and is now into her soft tissue (lungs). With that, we have moved into the "quality of life" phase, as there is no longer a movement towards a cure, but rather keeping her comfortable.

    She is blissfully unaware of the severity, and we plan on keeping it that way. She is full of hope and is still planning her future (wants to go rock climbing when she's better, and bought a hair dryer last week) There is no need to take away her hope and dreams. (for that reason, I only ask that if posting notes anywhere, never mention her status or that you're sorry, etc.... be positive) (thank you)

    She has touched so many in such a short time, that is the comfort I take from all of this. What was done here is my validation of that fact, and so I say thank you to all, though mere words will never express how appreciative I am for everything.

    Joe
