Thanks gonna try it out tonight and tomorrow. Anything I should be looking for? I read your thread and saw the auto 3d 2d gpu oc, but should I be watching battery life in particular besides putting the kernel through the paces? Just want to get you back the kind of info you're looking for. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kairi_zeroblade:
no impact for battery on 2D mode..but in gaming(3D mode) expect the drain..for IO scheduler use deadline..its what i have tweaked the most..i am still preparing stuff for the BFQv3..

and also YES can you observe the battery life on that build..will also prepare a complete CWM package for the real kernel(the one i am at now) together with the stuff i modified from the original base ROM..

i am still looking for a sweet spot on my toolchain..

Reporting back!

After a few days of using Black Star VI, everything seems to be excellent, it is fast, smooth, and responsive (sometimes it glitches, no biggie).

However, I have run into some small hick ups;

-> Twice a few apps got removed from screens (I have no idea how or why), not a big issues.

-> *I'd really like to resolve these two*:

1) everytime I'm using (any app) google play and I'm a few pages in, I like to hit the Home button to return to home screen, instead I get a pop up window that asks to choose default launcher. I did chose Apex as my default and somehow it gets reseted!

2) I cannot add any widget to the home screens (it says: there is no more room left) eventhough there is nothing on there.

Thank you

Sooo Enjoying the *RIDE*

This ROM is the best. I have not found an issue yet that was not user install error related. Very Stable. Flash was flawless. Few force close issues. Got impatient and used Titanium backup to restore all missing apps and user data. I knew this would not be a good idea but impatient is my weakness. Uninstalled and reinstalled to fix force close. Simple solution for user install errors.

Love the many UI options. Have not stopped playing with all the fun tweaks and perks.

HUGE Thanks to bigjoe for all the amazing support and for that other special thing you did ;) (and still do)

U all deserve a six pack of beer. Coming ur way shortly.

I am having the same issue with adding digital clock widgets. But also had same issue with other roms i had tried. i tried several launchers and still same error. no more room on home screen......I did however successfully install beautiful widgets so who knows?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rayandreas:
when using apex you have to go into apex settings and resize the sreen to 6 x 6 I believe, to make the default samsung digital clock to fit. any time you get widget too big for screen its usally the screen size issue. just change that and you should be good to go.

Hmmm......crazy drain on battery 3 text and 30sec phone call left me down 11% right after pulling off the charger. Phone seemed snappier, quad score was about 1000 higher than normal (but to be honest I don't remember the last time I did a quadrant or posted attention to the score), had the settings as you suggested.

Currently waiting for black star V7 in dog years. Sucks to be me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Im waiting also. This guy needs to hurry the hell up and release VII. Who does he think he is anyways.

On a serious Note: The only thing holding me up from releasing VII is that I need help with my Styles.xml and adding transparency to status bar pull down.

NEED A THEMER!

Here is a couple of my screw ups. Im not a THEMER. Lol.

This is what happens when I try and make pulldown transparent. Lmao
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sapps:
What about releasing a VIIa and then a VIIb when you get a themer. I'm going through some serious flash withdrawals here.

Great job on the ROM, btw. I have had zero issues and the phone runs great. Thanks so much for all you do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:

So I flashed this rom as per the instructions, wiped everything and my phone has been sitting at the android boot animation for over 20 mins... I used TWRP and tried flashing it a couple times, it said success each time. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kyaroru79:
bigfau: were you ever able to get the mini Agenda widget working again? I'm using your latest build, VI, and I've looked through previous posts for an update on putting it back in the ROM; did I miss it somewhere? :confused: Would really like to be able to use it with your ROM, if possible. :D

Thanks for the awesome ROM and all of your hard work. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
Did you also wipe system? Along with fact/cache/delvik, I have been on TWRP for a little while now, and I do all the fact/cache/delvik wipes 3 x and then I also do the system wipe a few times, then install and just reboot...

Just what I do, since I have been on TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ndmoh1:
BigJoe did mention doing this in the past:

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Wipe cache partition

Under "advanced"

- Wipe Dalvik Cache

Under "mounts and storage"

- Format system

- Format cache

- Format data

....have been doing since then and haven't had any issues. Give it a shot! :)

Edit: Have used the above steps with CWM...haven't used TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Got it and got it. Lol Thanks Boost.:D

I was editing the wrong status bar tracking. Oh my.:o

I could, but then I would have to update ★ again when I finished theming or trying to. :rolleyes: To much work.

First off NEVER let your phone play through the bootanimation for that length of time. Or leave it sitting with the screen on for to long will cause an image burn.

My advice would be to re-download and re-flash. Following the Op's directions and bigjoes2675.

Ah, I see it now; only shows up under TW. Any way to get it to display on Nova/Apex (minus using a 3rd party app)? Or do I need to stick to TW for using that?

Thanks again, big.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
What does???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kyaroru79:
Mini Agenda.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
I'd say that's just a tw compatible thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edkills:
Yea you can only use the agenda widget on tw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kyaroru79:
I was afraid of that. >_<

I'd seen it modded before to work on Nova/Apex/etc., and was hoping to be able to use it here as well. :fingers-crossed: lol

Only a small issue for me, since I prefer Nova/Apex over TW and I use the heck out of the Agenda...especially with a baby on the way :p That's just my personal preference, though. All of the other perks in this ROM more than make up for that.

Thanks again for the quick answers.

Try another computer? Or Also you should try another usb port preferbably one in the back of the computer and dont let download mode hang for too long when you first get into download mode try and get the connection going asap are you downloading the drivers straight from the samsung website?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ndmoh1:
If you are willing to unroot and root again, here's what I've been doing to return to stock.

1 - Put phone in "Download Mode" - phone connected to PC

2 - Start Samsung Kies (make sure you have the latest.....)

3 - From Kies, click on tools then "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"

4 - You will be prompted to enter ESN and model number (it is ok to pull the battery out to get ESN and Model - phone won't die with battery pulled)

5 - And follow the prompts

This process does take time but will get your phone back to stock. I have successfully done this many times with success.

Good Luck!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teyshablue:
The mini USB port on these Notes seem to be a bit flaky. I've had issues with USB connectivity for the last 10 days or so, then this morning, bingo. Laptop picked it right up. A little google search shows that this problem crops up regardless of the ROM being run and hints at being a hardware issue with the port itself. I tried everything...different computers...deleting and reinstalling drivers...switching various cords..nothing unitl this morning. While connected, if I even bump the cord, I lose USB connection. This lends credence to an actual hardware issue...most likely the mini usb port.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tolli84:
Anyone mind sharing their specs for their long lasting battery? I have mine set to 192 in tuner but I'm at 50 percent right now after being unplugged this morning at 430.

Uninstall Nova if you don't use it. Get the app Better Battery Stats and use it to see what all is using your battery.

I run mine 192 min and 1.83 max with OnDemand with screen on and 192 min 384 max Powersave with screen off using SetCPU. I also use JuiceDefender Ultimate to keep my wifi/data off when the screen is off. I get about 4hr of screen time a day unless I do a lot of music listening or gaming.

Second week into using this ROM, and unfortunately it had become unstable for some reason:

1) apps configurations keep on getting reseted without warnings.

2) homescreen wallpaper is zoomed in and upside-down.

3) some apps kick me out (wallpaper ones).

To fix these issues, I have to reboot more often than I want to. Is there a fix to these bugs?

I've had the very occasional zoomed wallpaper bug, but that's about it.:confused: Nandroid and reflash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Negative on reflash, it's a pain in the @$$ to reinstall and configure apps/settings.

It seems that all this shenanigans is coming from "Apex Launcher".

If you set the wallpaper mode to "Single(non-scrolling)" and set ur favorite wallpaper, it'll look normal.
