GPS works great for me on VI. I did have a problem with GPS on aroma though, no matter how far away I was from a turn, destination, it always said "in 400 ft, in 400, 400 " haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teyshablue:
I continue to be stupidly lucky in that I have thus far completely dodged the GPS bug. Even on the stock build, I had good GPS. Only had to clear the AGPS data bout once a week to insure instant locks.

Same thing for the BlackStar VI ROM. Instant lock with the very occasional need to clear AGPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chiwire2000:
I'm using version 5 and the GPS has never been better on my note( in miami). Is there a big difference between 5 and 6? my internet is sucks and downloading a rom takes a whole day, so is it worth the wait?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
is it worth the wait I say YES!, lots of great theming in this ver 6, from bigfau and RT Yorzua, worth the download and checking out IMHO ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teyshablue:
Just had something odd pop up. Can't connect to my pc. When I activate the USB, it says to connect USB cable to use mass storage. Which is weird since the cable is connected and it's charging from my laptop. Bad cable maybe? :confused:

Already reinstalled drivers...no bueno. Also my GPS is on alot...I think it's Google Now tripping it. I think I'll just re flash the ROM and see what's up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Let me know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teyshablue:
Well, re-flash went fine. Still no USB connection. Must be a bad cable. I'll check it when I get home. Too early to tell Google Now is tripping the GPS excessively.

Sorry for the late reply, I've installed it last night and the gps works perfectly :) you have my most sincere gratitude :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
I'm new to this rom so I'm still learning the ins and outs. I've got couple questions hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Is there a pre-installed app to set clock speeds and scaling? If so, has someone posted optimum settings for performance and battery life? If not, is there an app anyone recommends?

My last question is, does this rom support back light notification?

Tried that last night on my home laptop. No luck. Tried a new cable as well. Hmm...this one's got me baffled.

I did finally figure out what was causing my GPS to stay on....looks like a problem with Beautiful Widgets, which I use for my clock and weather skins. I had thought it was Google Now, but nope.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Try removing S04disableMTP from the Init.d folder. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot and try your USB again.

So i am no longer having that issue i mentioned a couple posts back but i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a kernel with bln/oc_uv support? flappjacks kernel is the tits but theres no way i can install it from the source lol I tried a kernel i found in original Android dev but it borked my note =/ any input would be greatly thanked ha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tolli84:
I have but I wouldn't be able to tell u if it also did this in stock ics cause I don't remember. I've noticed if u hit back button it will go back it just takes a while for it to do anything but I do the double tap like u said but I get pissed off when if goes back to far because of doing that haha, I don't need to see page 3 of adult vid........I mean cartoons again when I am already two pages past that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] oikhlail11:
lol

but i digress so what kernel is that? is that the same one in flapps base as well? or is there a thread im missing somewhere thanks big! i was always wondering why such a great rom didnt have Bln support

Yes it's the same one, but It's also the same one in this Rom. I just forgot about putting in the modified files into Rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sizemore2000:
Guess what? The best thing about jellybean is Google Now, and it's on this Rom. Not bashing them, cause I appreciate all the hard work those devs put into them, but after using this official release that is supercharged by bigfau, you'll be back. Not to mention getting to use all the software that was meant for our note, and that can only be done on ics, as of right now. I've tried a couple of them, and they are fun to play with, but nothing like the black star. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goresick:
Big Gore says if you want the JB, you should try Jamie's Paranoid Android, or FLAPPJAXXX's JethroBubba AOSPxxx. I have tried em both, they were good. The Family/Alliance now has a JB build, its probably good, but I haven't tried it. JB is still new and up and coming.

Black*STAR is so stable and smooth tho, its ICS, but its like an ice cream sandwich, with chocolate ice cream inside, frozen hard, then battered and lightly fried to chocolatey golden brown, crispy on the outside and inside slightly melty, yet still cool, drizzled with dark chocolate sauce and garnished with some whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

What the hell is up with the web browser issue? If you are viewing a page and you hit the back key it just refreshes the page...anyone else having issues need to know ASAP before I go to a different ics rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sizemore2000:
What browser are you using? My stock browser goes back every time I hit the back button. No issues whatsoever. What launcher are you using? Some launchers have settings for your back button. I'm using all stock black star and it works perfect. If that doesn't help, reflash the Rom, then wipe cache and dalvich. No need to factory reset since u are already on black star.

I've been getting pretty good battery life with this rom. Probably the best I've gotten on this phone. Have you checked for apps draining battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
You most likely have a rouge app causing the drain. Reflashing isn't necessary,but sometime it helps though. Hell sometimes just restarting your phone helps. Try this app out called Better Battery Stats.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] methogod:
Love the rom, need some info on how to tell if i have the lastest version just installed the 2nd posted version which seems the same as the first. I only did it to activate BLN and it still wont work.

Some BLN support would be great.... maybe more then "i forgot to add the other files..."

what other files?

Props to Black Start for what i think is the best ROM out for the ATT NOTE. Well done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
The reason I left out the files for BLN was because I was having random reboot and one SOD. I'm was trying to figure out the cause. So I didn't update all the files for BLN support in BlackSTAR. I didn't want to hear possible complaint about having random reboots. I'm not blaming the kernel. I think it's not playing well with my other tweaks and mods. Idk. It could be just my phone and I just flashed way to much leaving remnants behind that's causing my problem. I will find out. I'm going to wipe "EVERYTHING". lol

Flashing Flapps kernel zip below or h0tw1r3 will give you BLN with no random reboots.

h0tw1r3 ICS - h0tkernel r2 - up to 1.92GHz

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] simpl3lang:
love this rom. so smoooth. typing with the keyboard (samsung or android) is a lil slow. and i like to change the star unlock, i just dont know how. cant wait for another update. maybe with more customization? battery wise, i went to sleep for an hour, and so did my phone (deep sleep). but 7mins of screen usage after the deep sleep, i lost 4 percent. will drain and recharge more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tolli84:
U can change keyboard. I never have like the Samsung keyboard anyways but there is a flash able zip to have the stock lock screen. That's what im using. I unplugged my phone at 730 this morning and really haven't been on it at all at went from 100-62 percent right now at 1032 in the morning. I'm trying to check somethings too because I only have two pages of apps and a clock, power and a couple other little widgets. When I first flashed the rom I could go 6 hours and only drop 15 percent with regular use but idk what's happening now. I'll work it out hopefully.
