Woow you're right I didn't notice it till reading your post. I flashed the green toggles this morning. I'm back to T-Mobile :(

Hey Bigfau,

It's nice to see you back I hope that means you're feeling better and continuing to take care of yourself.

I am having a radio/modem issue from the point of flashing your Beautiful Rom I only get Edge and was/am having a issue with downloading TB so I had to manually download 235 app (it took a day and a half :eek:) I flashed the T879-UVLG3modem and the rom worked fine I got 4G service (lightening fast download speed) but it clashes with the rom it would freeze. It would take me about 2-3 minutes to go from on app to another or to go from screen to screen.

Can you suggest another modem that will give me 4G and keep the rom intact?

Thanks a lot.

icon colors

after upgrading to VIII and flashing the aosp theme, the playstore and gmail icons remain black, is there anyway to get them back to color.

and idk if its just me but i dont get a notification on my gmail icon when i receive an email.

other than that remains best rom on my note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Download the Play Store and Gmail app from the Apps and Themes section. I get my Gmail notifications fine. Maybe you have it turned off.

I get this too. Three times now after full wipes x3. Solid explorer says the beta has ended when you try to run the app then just closes. You have to uninstall then download new version from the play store. Also titanium back up will not upgrade to paid version. I think it has something to do with the themed icon? As soon as I uninstall and re download it upgrades to paid no problem.

Very small issue though. Rom work incredible really!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
It's not a big deal though...for some reason when titanium is preloaded it won't accept my pro key until I uninstall and re install using the play store. And solid has the message "the beta has ended, download via play store" ...weird

v1.2 is the Latest ICS TW & AOSP Kernel

Here is a recap of my previous post with a little more clarification.

Tonight a user on another site pointed out a bug in my current ICS TouchWiz and AOSP kernel. This is not a showstopping bug but it definitely will affect everyone using the latest

Black Star VIII that does in fact include the h0tcakez v1.1 TW kernel

.

I highly suggest flashing v1.2 TW kernel.

Download h0tcakez v1.2 Touchwiz Kernel Here

Download h0tcakez v1.2 Touchwiz Kernel Here - goo.im mirror

Instructions:

1. Download kernel to device

2. Boot to recovery

3. Flash kernel over your current running Black Star VIII

4. Reboot and enjoy!

My Original Post Here:

New kernel! I caught the tail end of a conversation in Live Chat today where a user was reporting an old issue with the kernel and 192 clock speed and Forcing both cores online. This was an earlier issue with the ICS and JB kernels that I did address in both kernels but when I redid the ICS kernel from scratch for the latest releases I forgot to add in

This Commit

. This commit is now added back in for both the AOSP and the TouchWiz kernels. Boths cores will now stay online when it is appropriate no matter what clock speeds. Sorry about that.

Basically what happens with the h0tcakez v1.1 kernel that is included with Black Star VIII is when you set your minimum clock speed to 192, shortly after that the second core will go offline and stay offline. Flashing v1.2 will completely fix this issue and the second core will go offline when not needed and come back online when needed and will stay online completely if you force both cores online(which I totally

DO NOT

recommend at all, unless of course you enjoy crappy battery life that is)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
Read two posts above you.

3.0.8 is the Linux/Android revision version. Check out an app called CPU Spy that will show you the custom kernel version. h0tcakez v1.1 is included in Black Star VIII

And I did.

Flashed. Rebooted.??? Profited.

My knowledge is a bit limited. I believe what you are saying is that you only call it a dirty flash when flashing a full rom. Flashing a kernal with out any kind of wipe is just flashing a kernal. Correct me if that's wrong. If not thanks for the clarification. I will try to keep my lingo in order :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
I removed the update tools option in the latest tools as I will only be adding features and updates to it for full ROM releases. Besides if we want to push a Tools update, now we can just add a flashable zip to the OTA that is more foolproof than the current method of updating. See my old posts about impatient people not letting it finish updating.

Want to see the OTA?

Update Tools to the latest version. It will close and kick you back out to the Settings Menu, This is normal.

Open Tools. Wow it looks different now.

In the 'Tools' Tab hit your Menu button.

Oh My!

What do we have here?

OTA? (An incomplete OTA btw, but a work in progress)

Yes!

This will be integrated more in the future right into the settings menu if I know how bigfau operates.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Blairware:
BlackStar VIII does have 1.1 - CPU Spy ALSO indicates NO cycles @192mhz. so I'll probably let it sit until I flash the coming update. I ran tools update, and had a "huh?" moment till I remembered to press menu button: THERE it is! The OTA stuff is gonna ROCK!

I somehow ended up in a

development paradise here

. Getting the Note finally (Note 2 in a few months) I was hoping for more i717 development, vs. the plethora of N7000 stuff. Stupidly, I passed over this ROM b/c I generally don't like themes with dark, similar shaded icons - too hard to find stuff. So I went around the block, testing Liguid port, Padawan, Paranoid etc. I really want TouchWiz just to get the S-Pen apps - if I don't start using it at the start, I will probably never will. Well you probably saw my great american novel post above, so I'll STFU now. :eek:

A HUGE thanks to BigFau & friends for providing the other half of the joy of Note ownership. Once you are done being wowed by the HW (and for "normal" people the Note still has plenty of WOW) it's this stuff that makes or breaks (sometimes literally!) a good experience. I OWNED A DELL STREAK 5 (Just "Streak" at the time) While it had some weaknesses, it

was

the original Phablet. But development, or the lack of it caused me to bail fairly quickly. This Note (as opposed to the Note II) is everything the Streak wanted to be. I don't regret buying it on the eve of Note II's release, in fact, the wider format appeals to me. That is the one + over the Note II in my mind.:cyclops:

OK. So battery life on this bada$$ rom seems amazing. Unfortunately I am having a really weird issue. I will admit I am using TWRP, not CWM, so maybe thats my problem. Since for 1, I don't know that I have the option to format data, system and cache(correct me if I am wrong). But I have downloaded 3 different times. I have installed 3 different times, and I do 3x wipe of the caches and factory reset. My problem seems to be most often tied to web browsing, but has happened randomly other times. After opening a web page, some times the phone lags so bad it becomes unusable. I am not sure if it is all lag or something else. If I press the home or back button or whatever, I will feel the vibrate, but the button will have no effect for a few seconds if at all. Turning the screen off and back on generally doesn't help. I generally have to do a hard reboot to fix it.

It just did it to me while trying to open a web page. But then after a few seconds it now seems to be working fine. I will keep working on it and see if I can provide more details. I haven't seen anyone else mention anything like this, so it's probably somethign on my end. I just really hope I can get it working cause I love the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E_engineer:
I have used twrp for months with multiple roms and no trouble. With all of the normal resets and cache clearing before I flash something new. Make sure to restore apps with no data or download fresh from the play store. I have never had to force a reboot should a program crash on this rom or previous versions. If any app freezes I lock the phone and wait for the timeout to occur and then close the app. Never restart. But this rarely happens......very rarely on this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
I didn't restore any apps or data. I don't think I have downloaded any apps at all yet on this install.

Tried downloading a different browser(Maxthon), did the same thing. I have tried fixing permissions, clearing web data. Checked my quadrant score. It was 3606, not sure if thats good or bad. It doesn't seem like locking the phone and waiting for the app to force close is an option for me. If I lock the phone it will eventually get to a point where it will no longer unlock. It's at this point I need to do a hard reboot.

I wonder if it's data related, as it did it once while using GPS as well. But seems to most often often with the web browser. I can browse facebook app just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheDgm:
I love this ROM! Best one yet. My only small tiny gripe is trying to find more dark icons for the apps. Any idea where I can find some?

There are several dark icon packs around,if I had links I would post but I just googled for dark icon packs or somethin like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Blairware:
So yes, wiping WEB cache and data was necessary on each flash I have done of VIII - One other thing: You said you do " 3x wipe of the caches and factory reset" - Are you NOT doing a SYSTEM WIPE? (The one right under Dalvik) This is the one that actually wipes the old rom.... In TWRP, There are four possible wipes, and if you read while they are being performed, you will see "Formatting" in 3 of the 4.

I belive this may be the answer for you along with clearing WEB data and cache. Head to TWRP thread to lear more about it. I switched to it from Clockwork about 6 months ago and I have never had an issue related to it's use. Plus, I like it a lot more that CWR.
