Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 
A caveat to those using the SpeedMod kernel: in its clockworkmod recovery, internal and.external flash memory mount points are exchanged. And this is very dangerous.
Yesterday, after editing my datafs and ums partitions to give more space to apps (4GB instead than 2) I tried to format my internal flash in recovery, silly me.
And I gave the command "format /emmc" in recovery. One second after, I reminded that those mount points are inverted.... :(
But my external sdcard was already blank formatted. Everything was kaputt, including my latest nandroid backup (did I say I hadn't restored./data that far?), photos, videos, documents, firmwares...
Luckily I had a nandroid from last month, with docs backup, and part of my recent files could be found and restored with testdisk.
But it took me several hours to put it back almost as before my silly command.

So, the point of this story is: beware SpeedMod recovery and its borked mountpoints!

No the point of the story is: Always backup to a secure place!

(I mean what if you took the microSD out for whatevereason and it dropped into a hole you couldn't get it out from)

So, one of my patients showed me his freshly bought Note 2, and I couldn't help but go to the mall next day and buy me one :-)

I got one too, should be here within a week.
It's $649 on Kogan.

At least not until they get even cheaper, or something

Note 2 is insanely fast. No problem in rooting and transferring apps through Titanium backup. Only nuisance, I had to cut my sim card into a microsim.
Why I am here, go try 'naked browser'. It's ugly but fast and responsive.

Congratulations on your purchase! How do you like multi-windows? Any problems running linux on android?

Still holding out to see what US carriers offer...

Multi windows isn't available yet. Where did you buy it?

There is an OTA that's been out for a couple days/week and it brings or activates the Multi-Window function.

However the ROM itself is about 1GB large. About 4 times larger than stock Android, or double the size of other OEM ROMs. Its like, what the hell was stuffed inside it?!!?

Interesting. So how much free RAM is there?
