OK, Running the Pre-Release and got everything working great.

Had to Install Nova Launcher to get text on my icons.

If you know a way to get them back on back on Apex, I'd love to know.

One problem i found and seem to have resolved...

I configured email for my work Exchange server using the email program itself and it immediately started freezing the Phone.

when I went back into the settings, after it FC'd, the account was completely gone as if Id never set it up.

So...

I went back into Settings -> Accounts and added the account that way.

It did the same freeze when I launched the Email program.

I rebooted into recovery, Formatted Cache and Fixed Permissions.

Once I rebooted, it all seemed to be working properly.

Loving it so far.. Very smooth once I got over the initial hurdles.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
On both apex and nova my wallpapers end up all zoomed in. I used stock wallpapers and some of my own. Not sure if that's on my end or not....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
Not yet. Thanks I'll try that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pickupman66:
Wow... massive download... does it include every version ever created from the collective? Poolkeeper like I cots another hour to install. Btw I don't know if I can go back to the captivate after this...... just need some ics goodness
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Lol big ole hd screen means every image is larger, not to mention other firmware differences.

Huge phone = huge ROM :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Not sure if it has been mentioned but the dialer pad is beautiful in non landscape however in landscape only two numbers are orange and the rest are white. Not a big deal just a heads up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
I noticed in the op you said init.d tweaks. However, Its missing the init.d folder. I see the tweaks you have added in system/etc and such. Just a heads up ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] timmillah:
Installed this and had a couple of issues (even after full wipe/clear data/cache, etc)

1) Messaging didn't work (I couldn't open the app at all from the home screen, if I went to launcher and chose it, it would open, but when I tried to send a text it would say failed)

2) Google Play Store couldn't download any apps (error 101)...

3) ADW Launcher had TONS of lag...

After removing ADW Launcher, 4 reboots, and going back to Touchwiz everything is smooth as can be! Very fluid! The theme isn't exactly my cup o tea, but that stuff can be changed pretty easily!

I will say, battery life has been pretty bad so far, but between a bunch of reboots/installing apps I didn't have high expectations. After 52 minutes and 3 seconds off charger i'm at 76%. I was 100% stock as of yesterday and when I got home after 13 hours of work (in which I played draw something for about 20 rounds, about 100 texts, constantly checking email/twitter/facebook and one 30 minute phone call) I was still at 70% when I got home, so I know the phone's definitely capable of more! I'm going to give it a couple of days to get settled in before I make any judgments on that front, though.

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to future versions!

Boost... I have my init.d folder.. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
No ****? Well eff word! Not me its not in the. Zip either?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ierv69:
Every thing is fine. Like the colors..Only problem when you go 240 dpi the dialer losses the back button..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Go to 280 lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
How long should it stay at the second samsung logo?

Yes I wiped and such. Coming from stock rom with DA_G's kernal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dman3285:
Ill redownload when I get home boost and take a look at it bro.. :)

sent from my NOTE that swallowed my Infuse
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
5-10sec max.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] timmillah:
One more small issue i've noticed.. In nearly every app when I go to the menu, my fonts are slightly cut off. Notice how "Refresh", "Compose", etc.. all have the top half of their letters missing. I haven't messed with the DPI or anything, the settings are still default from a fresh install of the ROM. Look at the attached picture to see what i'm talking about.

It's not anything major, just a slight annoyance. It happens in nearly every app that I have installed. Gmail, Twicca, Facebook is completely useless.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Thanks buddy! Its no bid deal. I created it and added some stuff. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ierv69:
Just did the 280 dpi and It nice..But lol try 240 its great.. Im going to leave it in 280 for a while..:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
What do you think is causing this to happen? Same thing happened when I installed Saurom on my first note and untimely bricked it??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
What was your original root method? Did you use mashi's no counter root which rooted at a different level than DA-G's? Doesn't seem like that should effect your installing a ROM of course, I just can't think if anything that would replicate your problem of two separate roms giving you such problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RMXO:
Thanks for your hard work but you do have a plain version? As in less orange & artwork?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Your going to blue clockwork?

Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache wipe Davik.

Install only front INTERNAL sd. Not your external.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:
Use QuickPic to set the wallpaper. See if that helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
Those of you with the pre-release, please post your md5's to compare so the guys can keep working on the official release. we need at lease two common md5's. Use es file explorer and long press the zip. select properties or checksum and calculate. please post carefully. This will save collective team some time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:
I thought the MD5 was the same and its based on the file not each device?

Here it is anyway: 7b6629c3f89c19f5ad9e4e6250221b60
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
Running great so far on prerelease!!!!! Loving all the blue touches. I had text on labels on home with apex..course i switched to GO which i might add is smooth as butter.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN COLLECTIVE TEAM!! AWESOME WORK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
Yes each has its own MD5 and should not vary during copying to sd-card. It should remain the same through the download to hdd, copy to sd-card procedure.

A mismatch means faulty download or swap.

Do not flash a mismatched MD5 unless you want major problems

.

BTW... THANK YOU COLLECTIVE FOR YOUR TIME AND PATIENCE! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. This should hold me over til O.R.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:
Hmmm wonder why you had the text labels and I didn't.

You had them from the start or did you have to change something ?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

Are you guys going to create a new thread for this release and maybe also add the links for the SolarisPrime back into the OP for people who still want it ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] truth77:
The link don't work if its not a fake
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
nope, as soon as it booted the first time i had the labels....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
mine did too, but I turned them off :cool:

I'm trying nova now.

But I've been using Go for a very long time on GB. The last release had some cool enhancements.

Thanks for the quickpic for wallpaper. Not sure why the other ways didn't work...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lessthanzach:
Oh, I've been running that for quite a while, was it updated?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] truth77:
So is the link real or fake and will someone update it if its real or post a link?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andysubie:
The link for the pre release isnt working for me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:
LOL. Go check the post again !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
That's because the Note's gamma implementation (dark transitions from true black to bright grey, or values 0 to 21) is totally and completely FUBAR. I hope that one of our devs finds time to address it someday... (maybe port over supercurio's n7000 fix for the same issue?)...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I guess y'all missed the window...

The link is dead now

Sorry fellas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andysubie:
That sucks!!:(:(:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lessthanzach:
The prerelease link just goes to a Web search of all stop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
you might want to go look again..;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] truth77:
What?? What kinda dumb sh#t is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
before i had the grey backgronds on some menus an apps and i turned of the 2d excelleration thingy and got my pitch black back but now onm prerelease 2d isn't chosen and i have grey instead of black on some things...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I checked my phone signal strength before flashing.

It was -75dBm 30asu

Its been around -80dBm 65asu on this modem.

On the GB rom I had green phone signal all the way across.

No it just has two tics (one yellow, one green) and the rest is just black...

I think the yellow was during a reboot.

I've read this modem might not have as good of signal as UCLC1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lessthanzach:
Lol that's what I was saying but they're probably taking it down for the official release or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] assaace:
Working very smooth. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lessthanzach:
Don't count your cash in front of the poor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mrscaligirl:
Running great, very smooth as usual ;)

Thank you Collective for all your hard work!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
So some folks have the pre-release, but it's been taken down already? Ummm... ok then. Why don't y'all just kick my dog while you're at it!? lol...

/walks away grumbling
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
Well I gotta say, THIS IS THE SMOOTHEST INSTALL YET.

Tested for several minutes setting up, and no problems. Dont expect any either. VERY SOLID.

THANK YOU. LOVELY.

For those who have been complaining about wipe procedural variances,

Zip to External sd-card

Format/wipe data

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik

Install...

ZERO ISSUES!

It's nice to hear good reports on the pre-release experience.

I have been monitoring this thread for all week-long, but worked on something else just a while, only to find out that I lost the window of opportunity to join the early fun. Now I can only read of good reports coming in...watching it from the sideline.

I have to say that it's not easy to think positively about the situation, feeling somewhat deprived and left out of the process...this is not what I expected would happen after a long wait.:(

But, I will just continue to wait patiently for the official release to become available, assuming that the pre-release was allowed for some to do a quick but limited final check before a full release for the benefits of the mass...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Barbarian:
You shouldn't be waiting long

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] truth77:
Is this dropping tonite why your telling us to charge up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
That's how I look at also. I know I'm not trying to count the cash in front of the poor. I'm trying to give the devs some feedback for any 'issues' I might have come across. It's a nice rom and I'll be flashing the official release.

I also had zero issues with loading the rom. It was just like flashing any other rom when I did it on the thunderbolt. No boot loops or stuck on certain screens. So I think everyone has a good experience from here on out.

its only going to get better once the official samsung release comes along and then we get the kernel source and any improvements they might have made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
so, now that my prerelease is set up when you "officially" release do we need to data wipe?....thank you ;)

days like these i am soooooooooooooo glad i purchased that extra battery

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsmitty166:
If you are coming from PRERELEASE, you should not NEED to wipe data, still wouldn't hurt...

HOWEVER, EVERYONE NOT ON PRERELEASE (just about all of you)

You will NEED to wipe data....enough said
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
This is very confusing. Is there a new release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
There was;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
....and will be again.....;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I'm confused as hell. Need a new thread for the ICS ROM and news related it. Download links in OP, download links on post 501, theme download links scattered all over with a mix of GB Rom discussions and ICS ROM discussions. I'm so confused I wouldn't know where to download the official release once it's official. I feel like a drunk on a carousel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bbgt2:
Yeah, this thread is starting to look like a bad acid trip.:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jesse6749:
+1 on this, a new thread should be created for the new release :p.

Will keep waiting patiently!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsmitty166:
DUDE have patience...

When a new OFFICIAL release is available, there will be a new thread...

Since there is no OFFICIAL release yet, there is no reason to have a new thread...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:

And no, I didn't go to bed when I said I was going. I figured I'd give it five or ten more minutes... but, I am truly off to sleep now. My "weekend" ended five minutes ago :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeDV:
Welcome to the Collective. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I'll pass along something that just happened on pre-release but it might not be a real issue.

I use battery monitor pro. I went into 'tests' and hit 'phone information' and it just stalled, black screen, hit back, eventually got a FC.

I'm not all sure what happened but it did set my clock ahead 5 hours.(set it to GMT 0:00)

I had to reboot for it to get the right time again....

I don't know how else that 'phone info' is accessed besides there. I think it has different information than 'about phone' (which works fine) but I can't remember now...

Don't you guys get it? They are messing with your minds. Glad I have chosen to wait till the kernel source is released before upping to ICS. They think its funny they can do something you can't (cook roms) and leave all of you begging for and update and getting you to stay up late for something that will never come tonight. This is too funny! I love your GB rom but your too juvenile to be so brilliant at making great roms. I get the joke and think its funny as hell though. Go to bed people!

UPDATE

I HAVE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT

just as the build uploaded to the server EE contacted me about a force close in contacts.apk

When you try to add a new contact....

Its a bug that has been around for a while and we just didn't notice it sooner.

we Have been working on it all night and finally We found the root cause and are exploring options to fix it.

Thanks for understanding

If i can get the teams permission i am willing to let it fly anyway!

I will update you as more info becomes available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vanemburghj:
Thanks for the update

Fully understand you are puting a lot of YOUR TIME in this effort and will stand by quietly (hint hint belly achers).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
So from me I apologize that we didn't release in the wee hours. Just so you know we have all been busting our asses this last week. I myself actually worked on this yesterday from about 7:30am until about 2:30 am when we discovered the force close in Contacts. At that point I was exhausted and went to bed assuming everyone would be updated about the problem. Forgive us for being human and needing sleep. As well this is not a competition between us and DAGr8 or smartguy. We all help each other out not try to step on each others toes. To make a comment like that is exactly the reason XDA loses a lot of great developers. Just a little reminder, XDA is a site about developers sharing their work with other developers. I messed with everyone a little bit last night playing around not because I think I have some great power or hold on anyone, it was because I truly thought we would have a release for everyone. We dropped the ball and guess what, we are still working on getting everyone a quality release. But get it straight, we owe no one anything, if all you have is digs to take at us, then just go somewhere else. We will have something and hopefully by the end of the day but I'm not promising anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] priest2705:
Trust me, we all appreciate the hard work y'all are putting in....basically for something that you're doing as a hobby and not getting paid for. For those who are about to piss their pants or are acting like someone peed in their Cheerios because they didn't get the update in a "timely" manner, please remember that these guys don't need to do this. The joy that they bring to us is no more than a pastime. They have real lives, with jobs, families, and all the other things that the rest of us have that takes so much time away from our phones....which are, at most a tool, but mostly just a hobby and an indulgence. Grow up and get over it. When we get it, we get it. I don't mind waiting until then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hokie36:
Thanks for all you guys are doing. We hope you can ignore the comments of ungreatful people that have no idea what you put into this like porkenhimer. I think the majority of us understood the jokes and enjoy that this thread has a mostly playful tone.

Porkenhimer, please go to another site to badmouth devs or just don't talk unless you have something worth saying.

Personally, I feel we are lucky to have a great group of devs helping us out with the Note. Keep up the amazing work and sleep when you need it. You all have lives and most of us respect that.
