..I don't normally complain.. ..mostly I lurk and flash and ask the occasional question, but.. ..the whole "blackstar" text in the status bar? ..yeah.. I'm not a fan. ..sorry. I don't want to complain. This has been the best ROM I've run. I used to use Paranoid who's reboots and screen flickers got too much; or The Collective until they went orange.. ..I'm a pretty smart cookie and could probably go and edit colors and such, but I'd much rather get something that worked and was eye pleasing right out of the box. I know you're proud of your work and you should be, but I personally would prefer to not have a big splash across my status bar of the ROM's name.. ..just my opinion though. Or at least make it an option.

Keep up the good work though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ltilt2:
How about just a THANK YOU? And since you are a smart cookie like you said, learn how to remove that splash. Bigfau is a great dev and is kind enough to share His work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
All, I don't believe magicdot meant it that way, and we know bigfau will do what he feels users want, just cuz he is a great guy. So lets not comment in a tone that is not the norm, ok. All are allowed to have their opinion. So Please lets not go down that road and just support in your way...

Thank You.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carlospr21:
+1 what bigjoe said remember this is a happy thread lets keep like that i know why bigfau is doing logo on statusbar if it was me in his shoes ill do the same

Bigfau great rom you got my respect all the way since back in the infuse days

SGS3 Stock Toggles

I'd like to try the SGS3 toggles, but don't see where to download. Is there a link I'm missing or something? Thanks for any assistance...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Thank you. If you would look back 2 or 3 post you would see that I forgot to rezsize the image. It would be the size of the normal AT&T logo that would sit there.

Hello my friend. I don't think I have seen a post from you im a while. Lol. I will have the links back up today. Sometime.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeldenW:
Tried MHL HDMI-out video last night. I have done it before and gotten it to work with a rooted Stock ROM.

I was able to get audio only last night. Has anyone found the same problem? I would love to be able to get this figured out so that I could use this ROM.

Can anyone help me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
You would need Flappjaxxx kernel or stock kernel.

BLACKSTAR VIII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeldenW:
BigFau,

Thanks a ton for the reply! I appreciate that. I'm comfortable flashing Roms, but I've never flashed Kernals.

Will that change the look/feel of your ROM? Is there one that you recommend over the other?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
No it will not change anything. Flashing a kernel is no different than flashing a rom. I will post link shortly if nobody else does before me. Or you can wait for minor update.

BLACKSTAR VIII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeldenW:
I'll hang on and wait for the link.

Thanks again!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JEZZEJAMEZ:
I would never wish you a cold but I'm wishing you would drop that update. I'm very anxious on the status bar liable ewww wee,that's something sweet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] arrom1983:
Tw kernel for tw base roms

Any one else having an issue with BlackStar VI eating the batter life? It appears that bluetooth (via BetterBatteyStats) is preventing the phone from entering deep sleep mode. any ideas or suggestions on a fix?

I have VII and battery drained 2% while I smoke a cig just browsing xda. Now of course I'm not ruling out TSF Launcher..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] arrom1983:
On tsf I also have battery drain I think its the launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E_engineer:
I get great battery life. Going on 14 hours with 41% left. Used consistently throughout the day. Using SGSIII TW. No UV tweaks only overclock and underclock on demand.

Great battery life, great stability, great rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JEZZEJAMEZ:
Def tsf tearing down the battery, it's not as bad as spb shell so I stick with tsf with a auto killer running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chuckyy05:
great job. which launcher in version 7 works best for everyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ohliu:
Everyone's gonna tell you a different thing. The best way to find out is really to try them all. I personally am cool with the TouchWiz launchers mainly because they support the various Samsung widgets. I usually prefer 3rd party launchers though (like Nova) but unfortunately the calendar widget which I can't live without cannot be used. Just my two cents. =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warriorpluto:
what is tf?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ispeedca:
It's too bad

:victory:This rom would be the best if only i could select my provider manually... i always end up going back to almost stock custom rom from telus.

BE AWARE that if you travel a lot your phone will pick up any provider along the way. This in return will cost lots in roaming charges and there's nothing you can do about it!!!:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tazman171:
I believe you can set it to not allow roaming or I can on mine and and have never received a roaming charge no matter where I've been, I don't live in Canada either though. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeldenW:
I'd be interested in trying that with this ROM. Is that one of the Launchers that came loaded onto the ROM, or did you load that on from elsewhere?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
I'm pretty sure its the TW that launches after flashing but I know for sure there is another one available if you go to settings/tools....in the first menu there are some add-ons and one is called touchwiz UX...that might be it...can't remember...but its def initely a different version of touchwiz. The newer one is the one that allows you to add Widgets from the app drawer instead of just long pressing on the home screen....

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonstackhouse:
I'm having the same problem finding the down load link for the toggle add ons. The picture and description is in post two, but none have links with them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
I took them down my friend. Will be uploading them tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] enzo319:
Ur not wrong. I wanna say thats either the S3 launcher or the original note one. Jump over to nova and stay on it.

Clapping is giving yourself a high-five for something someone else did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
What do people find so good about nova? I've test driven it and doesn't seem much better than apex or even trebuchet. I mean I know there must be something about it.....but....what?

I feel like I'm missing something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonstackhouse:
I personally like the fact that it can combind other installed themes into it. It also allows for app drawer transparency with your ewall paper. And you can also use custom widget folders for multiple applications. For example my internet apps fan around a cut out naked babe. That's why i use nova
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edkills:
So bigfau we getting a update soon :p

Where the hell is the link to the *bleeping* asop theme. Grrrr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Minor. I fixed some apks and updated FJ tools. Added some tweaks and apps.Did a little more theming. BLACKSTAR VIII seems faster. Could just be me though. Lol. :D

Hey big bother. How's it going? I wish I was more zen like Yoda. I haven't really ate in the last 3 days. So I could be slightly hallucinating now. :cool: How is Max? Hope he is doing better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
I pulled them so I could add something to them. Don't know if most of you will care for the changes I've made. But like most Devs or Rom cookers, we make the rom for ourselves first and the user second. But we love to share our work. So I hope you guys like the new look.

Sorry Im moving slow have a fever stil. 103F
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edkills:
Bigfau hope you feel better and take your time brother
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
Hey dont worry about the updates with a fever like that, you should be in bed resting....forget the updates, GO REST!

And we know you have always taken care of the users, so no worries there.

Max is doing better, had a seizure today, so still on meds, just not as much, but he is good, Thx for asking.

Now go rest...sending some health specialist your way....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Oh, I like them.Wait, I think my temperature went up a couple more degrees. Lol. Thanks brother. :o

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
Hey yeah. I figured it'd be tagged. That's why you pulled it in the first place right? I was just wondering if its coming back. Can't wait. I was about half a day late on that. You took it down right before I was going for it. Stalking you're thread for about 4 days straight. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Sorry been really sick. I have never been this sick before. I have never had a fever like this before. Will probably end up at the hospital tonight. Yeah:o

As anxious as we are all. Your health is most important get better, I'm ready to run some test. If you are comfortable I'd be interested. I c you have the battery circle mod in this release., just after I learned how to bake it in any rom, thanks for the assistance my friend..

Get well soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shrubbry:
I think I would dig on the blackstar logo to even out the top. Everyone is doing great with what we already have so just worry about getting yourself better.

I normally HATE when people brag about battery life cause it differs from user to user. Me being a moderate to heavy my battery would be happy to get a solid 8 hours on any phone. With that said, glad a left aosp roms and came back home. Best life my note has EVER seen. (I've owned it for a month and half and flashed a dozen roms). 30% left :)

Love the new update but how do I remove the "blackstar" from the top left of my notification bar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Decompile the SystemUI and remove the png and the line of code that points to it in tw_status_bar.xml .

BLACKSTAR VIII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
I can't wait to flash the new one, now can the VII SystemUI.apk be swapped with VIII to remove the blackstar from the topbar without having to decompile and edit the .xml? I ask this so if it is possible you can mention it so you don't get a bunch of people asking how to remove it.

Looking forward to some flashing right now. :)

RoloRacer on Black ★ VII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] smokinmoses:
I thought the blackstar at the top looked neat. Better than at&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Im sure you could, but it will only work the SystemUI in the rom .The toggles are marked also and the only way to change them is if you have the previous toggles or you decompile and make the changes yourself. I did not make these mods for use on other roms. Hence the marking. Im not trying to be an ass. I just worked hard on them and it bothered me to see it else where.

Edit: Now that my vision is clearing up the logo does not look as crisp as it should be.:(

Sorry I don't OC or UV. Maybe someone who does can verify.

BLACKSTAR VIII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
Does this rom come with OC?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kennypow3rs:
No. The att up there is bad. Branding no good. Its good every now and then but not every where. Look at it like this, if you owned a Ferrari would you put bumper stickers on it? Highly doubt it lol. I'm not complaining I'm just saying. I'm anal about little things and the blackstar up there is bothering me. This is still my favorite rom I just had to remove a few bumper stickers :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Sorry you don't like it. What I dont like is people taking the mods,etc I've done and use on another rom. Or people being sent here from another thread to snag shizzle.Lmao. Again to mean to sound like an ass but if I meant for it to be used on all TW roms I would have posted in the Themes and Apps section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kennypow3rs:
You're good dude, but wait, let me use a line we use on women sometimes, "its not you, its me" i just dont like anything up there so don't take it personal lmfao. I love everything about this rom, just that one little thing bothered me and i fixed it so i hope i didn't come off as a jerk, i meant no harm. Thanks again for your hard work ill get back on topic now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NunHugger:
One of the reasons I don't like branding. The minute you put it up there, there are going to be users who want it removed. I think if others figure a way to use it in other roms...just means your stuff is coveted. Nothing wrong with that. Take solice in knowing that you done did good.

Just my two cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
It wasn't going to stay there. Lol.

BLACKSTAR VIII

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ltilt2:
I apologize bigfau cause Im one of those that use your aosp theme on different Rom. I love it and I dont mind you branding your work. I want to thank you for your theme. This is the Best theme ever. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
I was just fu@%# witchal.Lmao. I have non branded ones I was posting at midnight. I don't really care who uses them. Might sound funny, but I just wanted some props. For a person like FJ,Dag, and Nun these mods are probably hella easy. They wasnt so easy for me.

Everybody the actual links will be up tonight.

BLACKSTAR VIII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NunHugger:
Don't get me wrong. I think it looks nice. I myself would remove it. That's just me. I am just saying that when building a Rom. Yes, we do it for ourselves first. But we post them for others to use...you can plan on there being people who want it removed. Users want it their way. I know most don't try to be disrespectful...but after you work hours to get the Rom the way YOU want it, seconds later a user says they don't like this, they want that...it can be disheartening. I do my best to please myself, while keeping projected user requests to undo things at a minimum.

Not intended to point fingers, make anyone feel bad, or for Big to change anything. Just don't want to see Big getting flustered. He has a nice thing going here. And maybe if users try to fix thingz they don't like on their own, they will develop a better appreciation of what a dev does and be less likely to ask for changes the instant a dev posts his mods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Is cool, I don't blame you for not wanting your hard work to be added to other roms and I was just wondering , and I don't care about the branding, I'll rock it knowing is an awesome rom.

Hey Bigfau,

First off I hope your taking care of yourself your health is very important. I was there about a month ago walking Pneumonia, so be careful.http://app.reference.com/click/jhm3...nce.com/web?q=What%20Is%20Pneumonia?&o=100100

I was using your last rom on the TMo thread and there were some issues I was having so I wanted to know can I use this rom on my AT&T i717 on Tmo Network? If so are there any changes I need to make?

Also is the Samsung Voice Recorder on it? If Not can you make a zip of it please?

Thank I hope you feel better soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Thank you for your concern. As for using this rom on the T-mobile network I don't see why you couldn't. I don't know what all you would need to change but I have gotten PMs from people who have used it on there. Yes we have the voice recorder.:D
