Known Issues

Q/A

Q. Does this use a safe kernel?
A. Yes, at the moment it uses a pure CM kernel.

Q. How do I remove the pointer when using the S-Pen?
You can find info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27930142&postcount=936

Q. Can I use the Thor kernel?
A. Only if you want to break your device.

Android (and the linux kernel that powers it) are open source. If linux and it's kernel were not open source, Android would not exist, or at least as we know it. If the Linux kernel was not protected by the GPL but Android was still open source, most of the development on this forum couldn't happen, including this kernel. Linux is based on openness, and the community participating and improving the code. I am a very strong believer in openness, I personally only work on open-source projects, because that's how things get better, new developers learn, and how great ROM's like AOKP and CM are born. Now, to the Thor kernel. The Thor kernel is not open-source. The GPL states that source must be provided upon request whenever a binary is distributed (the zip you flash for Thor is the binary). This isn't a suggestion, it's the law. The developer of the Thor kernel decided that he was too good, and would blatantly ignore the law. Even though his work would not be possible without the GPL in place, because there would be no Samsung kernel source for him to base his kernel off of. Also, you take his word that his kernel is safe. Nobody can confirm that without source. For all you know, his kernel could be collecting information on you (carrier IQ anyone?) Note: I am not saying that that is what is happening. I am however saying, that you do not know it isn't. Other kernels have peer review, other developers can see what's happening on open-source kernels. That is also why you do not see his work on XDA, because we require source to be posted. /rant

Q. Where can I find the latest builds and their md5's?
A. All of the N7000 files will be posted here, old and new.

Thanks.

Multilanguage?

Nice work! Pure Kang coming back to the Note is good news.

The CM9 kernel is not very good battery wise. Are there plans to support other kernels like Speedmod or Franco?

[moviecut]

wow, nice! THANK YOU! WIll try it out...does it use the cm9-kernel? or isnt any kernel included?

 

[matius44]

Nice! AOKP ROMs are always welcomed!

best of luck

 

[Goronok]

Wow, and really glad to see an official AOKP ROM for the Note. Thanks much for piecing this together for us!

nice, one more good developer for note

The kernel is stock CM9 at the moment. Last I checked neither speedmod nor franco were designed for AOSP ROM's, so no support for them yet. If that gets changed in the future, I will look at it.

The dev for liquid smooth managed to get Franco's to work

No, no no no. This is absolutely unacceptable, stop releasing great ROMs....I've been pulling my hair all week...!

 

[farzad.u235]

is this rom as smooth as cm9?

Liquid was already using a leaked ICS kernel, so using franco's was just swapping the zImage.

In true fashion they should not work.

I'm sorry, but that is a very subjective question, that nobody can answer but you. Flash and find out.

Yeah this is hard. So many awesome ROMs and only 1 Note to use them!

I guess I will will look at this, love AOKP!

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to learn a bit more about it all but its taking some time. Will give this a flash tonight anyway. Reckon a swap of zimage will fail on this rom then?

Most likely auto rotate will not work, and maybe wifi. Also you might face some force closes.

EDIT: in rare occasion it might not boot, so keep a flashable stock zip of this ROM in your sd card

Hi,

do we need to wipe data from CM9 ?

What I loved about AOKP vs CM9 was the lockscreen options to display calendar and weather but it seems that it's been merged in CM9 now so what are the + ?

thanks !
