Looks from your build.prop file that you are on an older build of CM7. The apps you mentioned, Firefox and Firefox Beta, and the Agenda Widget show up and work on mine. You could try using some of the values in my .prop file here, or update to a newer version of CM7. You might be able to install over your current build without wiping your data, but back up first of course.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuaveCanadian:
Thanks Dave. Can you link me to a stable, updated version of CM7?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
There is a CM7 rom hosted here at XDA:

CYANOGENMOD7.2.0-RC0-BUILD98-REPACK

Or you can go to Cyanogenmod Wiki. Don't forget to download the Gapps separately from the bottom of the same page and install them too.

I apologize in advance if it is not allowed to post a link to their wiki page .
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightCrusader:
Actually I have had this problem ALOT, no matter what version of CM7 I use on it. Its even worse when the new Market gets pushed to it, I usually have to downgrade it back and remove the MarketUpdater.apk so it stays on the old one.

I am running the ICS Alpha/Beta (forget which) right now so everything works, albeit very slow.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave5777:
I had the same issue it's the odd LCD density of 161 that market doesn't like. I changed mine to 200 then do the standard market fix reboot and it should be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MyxoFish:
Awesome!

Seems like the deal is available to new lines and to those upgrading only.

It's $299 for those of us that are part of family accounts or that are adding a new line! :C
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacket84:
There is still the $100 discount for adding a line HERE

That's what I used, added a line, got it for $199. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Emir5kurt:
Try this link. It's %50 off for new customers and adding a line. I could be able to order 2 Notes for $319. After that they cancelled my order for some reason. I tried again and got cancelled one more time. I called customer service many times about this price. Finally they told me they will give me credit for my monthly bill payments for $299 and told me to order from store instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zdrew:
So will the price still be the same as Best Buy's $50 off?

Please correct me if I'm wrong,not so familiar with how Amazon Wireless handle this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
$299 for family plan :O So glad I didn't wait! I was hoping Amazon would pull some $199 magic and almost considered waiting to see :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:
Give it a month.. 199 or less.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:
Ok just got back from a BB in Alexandria, VA and holy crap it was awesome playing with the note & tough to walk away from it knowing I could of bought it then, but this will drop within the next 1-2 months hopefully just in time for the ICS update. But congrats to those that have it now!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
so new customers could buy a note for $150? (instead of 199) with that link?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wangjaroni:
Thanks. I just got it for 150 plus tax :)

Going to cancel my stupid best buy order now :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i tried that link, but it wont take the 50% off for the Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
I got sick of waiting for amazon to post their prices, though, which is why is just decided to preorder. I was in the unlucky USPS crowd and got a $50 credit for my one day delay. Im happy with $250.

I can buy an unlocked model for that price.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KLLSWITCH:
im guessing what he means is that when you flash this via odin it will give you root perms UNTIL you reboot then you will no longer have root kinda like the temp root the evo3d started with
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Hi,

I think what Mashi meant to say and didn't explain too well is that this is a pre-rooted /system image, in the form of system.img.ext4 inside of a pda.tar to be flashed via odin.

Both ways result in a permanently rooted system partition, just this way flashes it directly, leaving the stock kernel intact, whereas my method flashes a modified kernel which then roots the /system partition via a script.

Apparently the download site he uploaded it to doesn't allow non-premium users to download files that large.

+1. I decided i don't want to mess with flashing roms and kernels with this phone, i just want root so i can block adds and restore my titanium backups from old phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] runandhide05:
Well... a friend got one and wants root as well, and my first thing I told him, pull system, root it, (add su to /system/bin and superuser.apk to /system/app) then flash it back with Odin.

Can anyone tell me that would not work? It sounds like that is what this is...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dumbquestion:

Edit: its a large file, about 500mg

its a system pull from a friends completely stock, the I added su busybox and super user.apk

Edit 2: also if someone can turn it into something Odin can flash, does anyone know if it will hit the counter?

I know if u flash a kernel it will, but unsure if just a system partition will also hit the counter?

lool 30 posts/4 pages just discussing the link and still its not working :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
In case someone is anxious for this, here is a quick and dirty guide how to do it:

1.) Grab my stock system.img.ext4 from stock odin post

2.) Boot into a linux with ext4 support compiled into kernel and e2fsprogs installed

3.) Put the system.img.ext4 in your home folder

(from your home folder)

4.) sudo mkdir /mnt/system

5.) sudo mount system.img.ext4 /mnt/system

6.) look in /mnt/system, here is the whole filesystem mounted as a folder. you can add/remove/change things at will from here, like adding su to /mnt/system/xbin, theme stuff, whatever. every change is preserved in the system.img.ext4.

7.) leave the /mnt/system folder so it's not in use

8.) df -h (note the size of /mnt/system in MB)

9.) sudo umount /mnt/system

10.) sudo e2fsck system.img.ext4 (say yes to the prompt asking to create lost+found so it is marked clean)

11.) sudo resize2fs system.img.ext4 790M (this is assuming df -h read 785MB, I am leaving 5MB free space. You can make this any size up to 1GB which is the full system partition size)

12.) (optional) re-mount system.img.ext and delete lost+found folder, then umount it. Android doesn't require that folder, we just needed e2fsck to mark the filesystem clean before resize2fs resized it.

(you should now have a system.img.ext4 at the size you set in resize2fs step.)

13.) tar cvpf pda-odin-system.tar system.img.ext4

That's it, you've cooked up a custom system.img.ext4 to be flashed by Odin to /system, this is my favorite way to mod a ROM :)

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

That's all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
lol, so what does that mean exactly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
Woohoo that means it did NOT trip the counter!!! it would have a number and say yes for custom binary if so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
Nice, and to revert to shipped would you just hard-reset the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
No, you'd have to ODIN a stock system partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
Dont believe its that easy unfontunatly. You probably would need to Odin back a stock system image... But with my Skyrocket I just used root explorer and deleted the SuperUser.apk from the Root and any other Root related apps and returned it and visually had no signs that it was rooted LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
that doesn't sound too hard, just load up ODIN, flash stock partition and donzo, 5 minutes right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Yeah that's it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
Last question, would flashing a stock partition with ODIN trip the counter, or is it the same procedure as this one?

I'm gonna load a custom ROM with OC and all that as soon as I can, I'm just having some odd issues with data connectivity and haven't yet determined if I'm gonna need to send this thing back yet...

Would love root, tho...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
now THAT would trip the counter, lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
It's the same process, so no it would not trip the counter. If you flashed a new kernel to do overclocking though it would trip the counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:

Wow that was a relief. At least, I can keep the note after all. I'm new to this and the reason I bought this device is I want to play with it with root and that kind of stuff. Good thing I can play with it without voiding the warranty (of course, return it as factory default).

Anyway, I'm hoping for an Idiot's guide :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
Haha did this the first time and soft bricked, but then I realized there was an error in unzipping the file because it didn't CRC check, so re-unzipped it and flashed again and now its working fine. Certainly didn't trip the counter either. Glad to have root that doesn't void the warrenty!

First attempt on Odin looked like it went fine and "Passed" but it soft-bricked! Reran it a second time, doing nothing different and it passed again. This time it immediately went to the Boot screen and started normally. Success! I checked wifi, network and phone. They all work fine. Restarted in Download Mode and the Flash Counter reads zero! I then updated Superuser in the market and ran Root Explorer and TiBu and they each requested Superuser Access, as they should. Granted SU and Root Explorer runs in R/W mode now. That smells like complete Root Success to me! Woohoo! So nice to have root on day 6 of Note ownership!

This is what worked for me:

1. Download mashi's file onto your desktop. Use 7zip and extract it.

1. download Odin 1.85 onto your PC and install it (actually you might not have to install it, just extract it and have it ready).

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576

2. Download the drivers for your phone on the PC and install it. Then plug in your phone to make sure it works -- it seems to take a while to get everything working. If you get an error, try rebooting and try again. Also, try using the cable that came with your phone -- 3d party cables don't always seem to work. If it still doesn't work, try another USB port.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I717ZBAATT

3. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.

4. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready.

5. Run Odin on your PC -- right click and choose "Run as Administrator" just to be safe.

6. Plug your phone into your PC.

7. In the Odin screen, wait until one of the top boxes turns yellow and displays some numbers.

8. UNCHECK all the boxes except for Auto Reboot.

9. Hit the PDA button and navigate to mashi's file that you unzipped.

10. Hit start

11. wait until your phone reboots.

12. If it didn't work, try rebooting and starting from scratch.

13. Papashex says: verify super user app now present. Update super user app (optional).
