This is to inform you that I have successfully installed android pie on my GT-N7000 after following your clear instructions. Yes i installed lanchon partition tool from /tmp and then android rom. I am going to install pico gapps after using the phone for a few cycles. As the battery drained very fast after this installation i am charging it again. Thank you again for allowing the fruits of your labour.
Glad that it works for you.
For GAPPS, the setup wizard will stuck at checking for updates section for a very long time. This is to be expected, leave it as it is. Until it says that it might take longer than usual, then a moment later it should pass.

Thanks for this ROM !

However i have a little problem installing my old TWRP Recovery.I restored my 7.1.2 nand backup with ur TWRP Recovery, which worked no problem. Also the Phone boots into Android with no Problem.So i got back into Recovery and tried to install the "old" TWRP Recovery. I got the message "This is not a n7000........Installation aborted!" when attempting to install the old recovery.How can i fix this, please ?

Regards

We are using twrp for i9100, thus packages which preconfigured to install on n7000 won't flash, thus getting the error you mentioned. There are two workarounds:
1. Bring out the recovery.img from the zip file of the old twrp. Then copy to phone and flash in TWRP using Image flash mode. Choose to flash to Recovery when prompted.
2. Using 7zip, inside the zip file, edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to remove the device assert check lines. Use Notepad++. You can drag out the file to edit then replace into the zip file afterwards too.
I recommend the first workaround, as the second workaround might be an issue for windows users due to how notepad/wordpad interpret text formatting. You might be experienced with removing the assert check lines instead, then do go ahead for the second workaround.

Thanks lee.wp14, it's indeed pleasant surprise, having Pie on N7000.

Everything goes smooth, with minor hiccups.

A quick Q:
How can I access internal storage / sd card using my laptop via USB cable?

When I connects it, my laptop detects N7000, however do not show either storage.

Update:
Find out the 'File transfer' under USB preference <learning the pie way>

Hello,

thanks a lot -

99% works fine on my old N7000.

Wonderfull! :)

One question: The Wlan is not strong (some times interrupts) compared to old stock rom.
Might there be s.th around "OUI reception" driver alignement thing?
My WLAN-MAC-Adress starts with 50:cc:f8.........

How do you mean interrupts? The only problem that should persists with wifi is that sometimes android will say no internet connectivity, you just turn it off and on again to resolve.

Forgive me but may I know how is OUI related to wifi performance?
(Possibly provide me some links to read on it)

His OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) belongs to Semco:
https://hwaddress.com/?q=50:cc:f8

It is missing & should be added here under "Semco":
https://github.com/rINanDO/android_hardware_samsung/blob/lineage-16.0/macloader/macaddr_mappings.h

Otherwise MAC-address is not recognized by macloader, '/data/.cid.info' file is not created, which could cause Wi-Fi connection issues and/or weak signal strength.
Similar can happen for BT OUIs not in the list.

I was not aware about the relevance of it with macloader. Thanks for pointing it out, it's something new to me.
So meanwhile, it turns out that I previously accidentally deleted lines that triggers macloader on boot. That should be the answer to inconsistent wifi on my last los16 builds. So for current builds .cid.info returns a zero value as macloader is not triggered. I will fix both problems on next build - not going to happen anytime soon as I'm having exams.

For those with root access, you can trigger macloader manually with root terminal by executing 'macloader'.
For those who want it to be triggered auto on boot, create 99macloader in /system/etc/init.d and chmod 755:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/vendor/bin/macloader
You can verify with below command (if 0, means macloader is not triggered):
cat /data/.cid.info

Need help on installation

I installed lineage os 15.1 beta3 on my samsung note gt n7000
And then i saw a new update (lineage os 16) on the xda forum
i downloaded it and intitiated the installation process

However this version of os is aborting with error 7 like it is blocking the extraction of files

In the update script there is no assert, which means it should work fine, and i downloaded it specifically for my device

So now i do not know what to do

I tried editing but it gives me an error ended with signal 6
On recovery i have twrp 3.1.0 installed with signature verification disabled.

Is there any way that i can bypass all of this?

Please help me

Kind regards

Do not edit the updater-script, it should work 100% fine.
Error 7 indicates that your system partitioning do not match as what is required by the ROM, this is most probably you didn't repartition your device. As stated in OP:-
Code:
If you do not have at least 1.5GB for /system, the installation script will fail!
And also, be noted that this is not an update for bauner's LineageOS 15.1 !!!. Refrain from installing this ROM if you intended to "update" from bauner's LineageOS 15.1, this is the wrong place. I do not provide support for other ROMs.

HI lee.wp14, when I try to install lanchon-repit-20170115 I get error 1 and when I try to install LineageOS 16 I get error 7.
I followed your guide step by step, where am I wrong? Thanks :)
