Android 4.0.3 ICS leak for Samsung Galaxy Note N7000

After the last ICS leak yesterday came out for the Samsung I9220 Galaxy Note,
we now come with the first ICS leak for the Galaxy Note N7000.
The Galaxy Note N7000 is more popular than the I9220.
This is of course because the I9220 is actually only for the Chinese market.
Luckily we got our hands on the first ICS ROM for the Galaxy Note N7000.
This ROM is based on Android 4.0.3 firmware number as N7000XXLP1
We expect this ROM will still have many bugs.
Especially since this is the first leak.
Because this is a CUSTOM rom your CUSTOM binary will walk.
Below are all our screenshots plus a little video of the rom …
If you want to talk about this firmware you can do so through our forums.
Downloading is also ony via our forum topic.
On our FW page you only can find OFFICIAL firmwares by Samsung.
This rom is a early CUSTOM rom by Samsung based on Android 4.0.3.
Samsung did the same by the Galaxy S II. (I9100XXLP1 – I9100XXLP2 both CUSTOM by Samsung.)

Go Locker

I installed this app yesterday and I'm already in love with it. Was just going through the market and saw this in the most trending app's for Android.

You SHOULD get this on your mobile. Super simple to use, just install it and activate it by enabling it in the settings. Plenty of free themes/designs to download including the ICS theme (image below). The lock look of your Android will change totally and will rock. 

You need to install Go Launcher as well for Go Locker to work, not necessary you have to use Go launcher, but just have it on your device. 

Here are some Screen captures:

Samsung’s official ICS ROM for the Galaxy Note leaked, not all models supported

We’ve known for some time that Samsung intended to upgrade its gigantic flagship to Ice Cream Sandwich, and it looks like work is well under way to do so. A new alpha ICS ROM for the Galaxy Note has been posted to XDA Developers, and it looks like it’s an official Samsung release (complete with TouchWiz). The ROM was spotted on a Chinese forum. Don’t boot up your recoveries just yet, Note users: this software only works with the I9220 model number, and it’s localized for the Chinese market. The standard international GSM version, and presumably AT&T’s version set to go on sale on Sunday, are not supported. Flashing to these devices may brick them.

The ICS build itself is in the very early stages. Early users are reporting decent but not fantastic performance, and certainly not up to par with the Galaxy Note’s Gingerbread software. The file is huge, about three to four times the size of a standard ROM, presumably to include Samsung’s TouchWiz additions and custom apps that take advantage of the Galaxy Note’s S-Pen stylus. Testers are reporting issues with various kernels, and flashing this ROM without the correct kernel files seems to be a recipe for everyone’s favorite modder-themed breakfast cereal: Boot Loops.Samsung previously stated that the Galaxy Note would see an update to Ice Cream Sandwich in the first quarter. That gives them about six weeks to get it out on time, though that timeframe is almost certainly only intended for the international version (i7000). Who knows when Samsung and AT&T might get together and update the US Note, which will launch with Gingerbread. In the meantime, modders can turn to the aftermarket, where modified versions of CyanogenMod 9 are already available.

Root Samsung Galaxy Note N7000

Simple steps, Simple to do:
Its the same way we had rooted our Samsung Galaxy S2's

First of all you need to download Odin V1.85 which is the Desktop odin version for rooting your mobile.

Get Odin v1.85 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1RTGSE061G
Just extract Odin folder and keep the odin3.ini file in it.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Note N7000:

Make sure you do it the easier way by using the CF-ROOT kernel.


Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:

2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703

What matters most (KJ4) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads:
CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEN_KJ4-v5.0-CWM4.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784


After downloading the respective file, unzip it and you get a .tar file. DO NOT UNZIP the .tar file.


Steps to install CF-ROOT kernel (Root your mobile):
1.Download the kernel from here:  http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
2.Power off phone, and enter in DOWNLOAD MODE (Press and Hold the Vol down + Menu/Centre +  Power On keys together, it goes to the download mode and then press the Vol Up key to continue)
3.Connect your mobile to the desktop.
4. Open Odin on desktop and click PDA and select the downloaded .tar CF-Root file on PDA. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE or it might just brick your mobile.
5.Only Auto reboot and F.Reset Time which are checked from before will be marked. I REPEAT, DO NOT CLICK ON PARTITION or anything else.
6.Click Start.
7.Let the phone reboot.

After the reboot your mobile will have CWM (ClockworkMod) installed which means your phone is rooted. 



Congratulations :-)
Now you are free to install any custom OS you want your Samsung Galaxy Note to have :)
