Back to TW Custom Rom. Almost stock is the safest

After a few weeks using PA v3.6, seems like it not suite for me where I'm using the s-pen much to do photo editing and drawing. PA s-pen is just slow and not so accurate compare to stock firmware/custom rom. Samsung already optimize the s-pen.

Now I'm back to TW. Guess what I'm using? I will answer you later :)

 Dark. Black and White theme.

 Centred clock

TW Custom Rom camera and video more robust and suitable for heavy duty and a lots of taking picture and videos. PA can't handle long taking picture and videos. It just hang and reboot it self.

This is my experience, I don't know yours.

Again. New firmware for GT-N7000. XXLA4 means and upgrade of XXLA3. For sure there are updates or bugs fixing in it.

Model: GT-N7000
Product Code: GT-N7000ZBADBT
Modified: 2012-01-13
HIDSWVER: N7000XXLA4 / N7000OXALA4 / N7000XXLA4 / N7000XXLA4
Filename: GT-N7000_DBT_1_20120113101724.zip.enc2
CRC: 4056522162

Strange thing is, it's Country/Carrier is Germany NOT Open Europe.

Download here
Password: samfirmware.com

I will blog how to install it later. Now downloading.

Reason to upgrade:
Very good review and improvement in this firmware.

1. The wifi connection is much more stable and connects faster to known hotspots.
2. The signal strength has improved.
3. The lag that was evident has been reduced substantially.
4. The phone reboots much faster and unlocks faster.
5. Apps like Whatsapp work much better than before without lag.
6. Battery life has been about the same.
7. The touch is now more responsive than before as well as scrolling vertically.
8. The stock browser is a lot faster.
9. Has not crashed since update (yet).
10. Phone seems zippier generally in scrolling and some apps.
11. Wallpaper issues i had with live wallpapers freezing and crashing and rebooting phone seem to have gone now.
12. Stock file browser seems zippier too and gives me the 'processing' overlay for a lot less time or it almost instantly disappears (but still there).
13. Stock video player which was unusable earlier is usable now and no longer freezing or forceclosing
14. New phone icon on the bottom right. Who asked Samsung to change the old one?
15. New lock screen animation. Who complained about the last one?
16. New call icon at logs call
17. Speed of the phone: This build is FAST. I haven't had one slow down yet! For example, in Whatsapp I've always had it load up and for every contact I have a picture. In my last build, I could see the list come up, but then every contact picture would load (and it took less than a second, but I could see the process go from no picture --> loading one by one, very quickly). Now they're all loaded instantly. No waiting. Applications start VERY fast, but I guess there is still some slowdown. Unlocking my phone is even faster than before. I believe the distance you have to drag (or maybe speed in which to move) has been reduced in turn reducing time to unlock.
18. Touch screen sensitivity:I find the screen sensitivity just fine. Very sensitive to be honest.

Samsung KIES for windows

Download KIES 2.1.0 here...

Why should I have KIES??

• Connect mobile without wires

  Connect a mobile to Kies via Wi-Fi and Sync content.
  Kies via Wi-Fi lets you enjoy Kies in a remarkably convenient way.
  * It is available for the supported models only, and some functions are limited while Wi-Fi connection.
  

• Keep your mobile updated

  When connected, Kies automatically notifies you of new firmware version.
  Make your mobile improved with the latest firmware.

• Keep taken photos and videos from mobile to PC

  Safely store valuable photos, videos you’ve taken and feel your happy moments in Kies.
  

Note:
-To run ODIN and execute it successfully, you need to KILL all KIES process inside Task Manager.
KIES and ODIN cannot run at the same time.
-Latest firmware update base on region. Malaysia sometime a bit late in software update. Be patient.
-For technical guy you may continue update base on the leaked ROM.

Remember to restart after KIES installation. This to make sure all the drivers installed and configured properly.

 Running on Windows 7 64 bits

All ready... :) ...I'm using Hong Kong version ZSKK1 2.3.6

 Connect KIES via WiFi

 Run KIES on your PC first.

Ready to Sync over the WiFi...

Samsung firmware version information

Before flashing you should know some basic version information of your current ROM and to which ROM you are going to. Is it new update or just moving from country to another country?

The easiest way to get your phone information.

Firmware version: *#1234#
S/W version: *#1111#
H/W version: *#2222#

Now that you have typed the firmware version code and that you are on the screen, you will get 3 different pieces of information. As an example, my phone shows (I had flash Hong Kong version):

PDA: N7000ZSKK1
PHONE: N7000XXKJ6
CSC: N7000OZSKK1

Build Info: Thu Nov 3 16:31:33 KST 2011


Definition
PDA is the operating system with its programs and settings included.
PHONE is the modem firmware file, parts of which are required to access the hardware.
CSC (for consumer software customisation) are the regional settings applied which may install additional programs as well as provider-specific settings (APN).

PDA AND PHONE CODE MEANING
What does N7000XXKK1 means?
N7000(=model) XX(=Region) K(=Year) K(=Month) A(=Revision)
N7000= Galaxy Note

REVISION CODES

That not difficult to understand your phone version. The code quite simple but flashing between region quite confusing. My advice is just look at the Android version.. like moving from Android 2.3.5 to Android 2.3.6. There should be enhancement or bug fixes in the new Android version.
