Ooops, yeah sorry I wiped system as well, just forgot to put that in there. Tried wiping cache and data for maxthon(currently set as my default and web, still does it. Going to try to flash this bad boy again and immediately dot he cache and data wipe of web before I do anything else. Thanks for the help.

BIG i see your working on IX . i no we just got this update . Im really excited for the next one {like a fat kid loves cake}

as usual im having no problems except having to wiat to get the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
No good. After doing all this it just froze up on me again. It gets to the point it won't even let me unlock the phone. But if I leave it sit for 5 or 10 minuts eventually the program will stop responding, allow me to unlock the phone and force close the offending app. I'm at a loss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Sorry to hear your having problems. If you are not wiping everything properly problems will arise. I know it not rom related, because I flash this bad boy constantly. Testing out mods,tweak, etc. Most of the time if I encounter a problem it with an app I themed. And not to many of them get past me. Except Kies and Titanium Backup. They got past me. I was sick and did not check them. Only thing I can tell you is to flash again. Wiping everything 3 times.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Thanks Bigfau. I know it's not an issue with your ROM, the thing seems great, and I have loved every other version of it I have run. I was just hoping I could find a fix, but it's not looking good. I will keep messing with it an let you know if I figure it out. Thanks!

Question

Hey bigfau,

first of all, this rom is sick. but i have a problem since the beginning of this rom. whenever i try this rom on my note which is from Rogers wireless. battery life is not good. on original rom i loose like 2% per 1 hour but on this rom like 10 % i dont know wat to do?

Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with the s pen? My pen is going crazy now. I don't even have to touch the screen and it's moving things, I can't even use s memo. Any solution to this? I love the rom but I never seen this happen before the flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
You have somethin draining your battery. A unruly app is my guess. Try using Better Battery Stats app to find the culprits. My battery last all day and most of the next. This is not a normal battery drain for most users of BS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
No you don't. Just trying to find a reason for your spen acting up. Is your screen clean?

Edit: The S3 toggle mod would have one effect on your Spen functions.

Strange. The battery life for me on this Rom is crazy. It's the first time I've been able to get a day and a few hours without having to recharge. Granted that's when I'm not using my phone a lot. Today I've used it quite a bit and after 9 hours and 10 minutes, I still have 55% juice left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kingjing1975:
Did you try a batrery calibration
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
I had severe issues with my s pen when I got my note, of the "ghost touch" kind where you can hold the pen a centimeter away from the screen and still see movement. First I got a program that adjusts the sensitivity, calibration, and axis of the s pen and phone called touchscreentune in the market. Worked amazing I still had a little hovering issue but I could reach every little corner of the screen very precisely. So next I called Samsung, they said the tips of our pens from the first batch of Notes sent to markets are EXTREMELY FRAGILE, and so they sent a new pen. Fixed everything completely and hasn't acted up since using the combo of program and new pen. GL

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Ok so something really weird happened. When i downloaded blackstar VIII, I put the file on my SD card and internal storage. I think I was flashing it from the internal storage file and when I did I had the old background(dark with like a light source in the center) and no branding. Well I reflashed today at work using the file on my sdcard since I had deleted the one from internal storage. And low an behold there was a blackstar boot animations, which I didn't notice before, and the reg/green background pic as well as the blackstar branding. But again I copied the exact same file from my computer to both SD and internal storage. Not sure whats up with that.

Now, did you say you ended up removing the branding? I only downloaded the file a few days ago, I thought I had saw you had removed the branding and uploaded a new file. Do I have an old copy of the file? Gonna give it a full days run tomorrow and see how it works and what the battery life was like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] enzo319:
Bigfau did not remove his branding. Its better that way. Give the ROM a day or 2 and u'll notice the killer battery life

Clapping is giving yourself a high-five for something someone else did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Thats fine. I just wanted to make sure I had the right file, lol.

Get Better Bigfau!

Prayers of healing and fast recovery heading your way, "Big" Brother;) No worries you have enough BStar users that can address and provide for you in this thread, plus you have the me looking/lurking :cyclops:.

Ok GNote people keep the development providing going for "big" here...Good To Go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
The branding on this rom is what really sets it apart. That boot animation is out of control and the aosp theme is amazing. Best look I've had in a while.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Does the AOSP theme make the nav bar icons ICS blue? It looked like it in the screenshots, I like the black and white of the theme but would prefer to keep the nav bar icons white as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
I don't use the navigation bar. In fact I'm not even sure of how to turn it on. But its a ridiculous theme over touchwiz launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
To remove branding, just download one of the toggles sets and flash. Personally I think the toggles are awesome.

You can just flash the AOSP Theme then flash the white toggle set. Good as new.

I had issues with the GPS losing signal after about 15 min of being in use with Maps.

Any way to fix this? I had this issue also with the padawan ROM, and it was fixed with the next update.

Anyone else having this issue? It could actually be my phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
If say it's your phone because my GPS is quick and stays continually locked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goresick:
My gps is working fine, locks quickly. Did you try going under tools and installing some of the gps configs?

After flashing this ROM I can no longer connect to my desktop through a USB. KIES no longer works as well. What gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Not sure about kies. But I was able to connect just fine to my laptop with a usb cable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Normal Kies or Kies Air? I only use Kies Air as I see no reason to use the desktop Kies.

And what version of BLACKSTAR are you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasonstackhouse:
6X15 Orange Toogles, description and download link

So with all the credit of this going to Big and his contributors I worked off of both their toggel designs, and did several days of photo shop. Prob. Easier for most people but I had a lot to learn about size restrictions and batch editing. I designed a few animations of my own to give the toogs something different. The airplane mode is a stealth bomber I free handed, the lock screen is an actual stainless steal lock, the flash light is a weird light switch animated guy lol, and the tether toog is a animated Droid and an octopus shocking his brain, and the battery is of an orange Droid who has a tough guy face, he drains just like the other batteries percent by percent till he is completely grey. The battery percent still works with the battery in the system settings if you chose to enable it.

Thats about it i guess, This flashes just like all the other toogels, hope fans of the color orange like it. And also if ur running nova don't forget to change your theme color to orange in the look and feel settings, it makes it all tie together nicely.

Thanks this goes well with my Wallpaper
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Im snagging this. Thanks my friend. Hehehe :cool:

Haha. The branding was just for the people who would come over to my thread and take without so much as a thanks. But it was never going to be permanent on the add-on toggles. Just branded the rom. I still have the other branded toggles I just removed their links.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Wait you want the branding back? Just flash the rom again without wiping. Or. Use Root Explorer and navigate to rom zip. Open it up and goto System/app and find the SystemUI.apk. Extract it . Then go to the extracted folder and copy the SystemUI.apk. Navigate to the system root on your phone. System/app and paste. Set permissions rw-r-r. Reboot. Done.

Sounds like a lot but it really not.Damn I can rhyme. Haha

I am new to the note. I have been using this ROM for a couple days now, and LOVING it! I love the stock feel but with customization. It seems as there is great support here. The only thing I have noticed is Sometimes google now will hang up a little.

I am unsure if this has been addressed (I have looked over the last few pages) Is there a way to add icon Shortcuts to the aosp lockscreen?

There are a few shortcuts I would like. I just have not found a way to do it. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeutaw:
Since updating to VIII I'm also experiencing system hangs, not app specific, sometimes the browser, sometimes email, sometimes just on the desktop, doesn't seem to matter and I've had to restart phone every few days or so. Guess I will have to revert to VII? Anyone not on VIII yet I would recommend not updating to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carlospr21:
This might be becuase of the new kernal just try it with stock kernal the one on VII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Well it must do this to everyone but me. Lol. Because I experience no

hang ups on my phone. No I am by no means saying my rom is perfect. Im just saying for the weeks(3) I run a new version before release. I experience none of what most people talk about. If I did it wouldn't be released. Some people say 1/2 second or second when opening an app is lag.Lol. Sometimes these so called "hang up" are caused by the users apps they installed that are eating up their resources. Which would produce "lag" or "hang ups". Maybe the reason I don't have these problems is because I have very little extra apps on my phone that might run in the background. This is only my opinion. And tweak wise there is no difference between VII and VIII. The only thing changed between these versions is newer kernel, apps and fixing some apks. None of which are the ones people are saying are lagging.

I have never had the stock kernel in BLACKSTAR brother. Always been a kernel of FlappJaxxx creation.

BLACKSTAR IX
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kichikun:
So far I've had no problems with this rom. It's been smooth and stable.

That being said, I can't seem to find how to remove the Blackstar carrier logo from the status bar. It's taking valuable space I'd rather use for notifications.

Other than that little hiccup, it's done everything I need. I don't regret upgrading to the Note for a moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeutaw:
The hangs are very annoying with this version and I do have quite a few apps. Any ETA on IX?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
wipe reflash and be patient itll be out when its out, Im hoping its soon to though I cant wait for that tablet mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carlospr21:
Cant wait to use IX i hope its out soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Like I said in the post earlier their is "NO DIFFERENCE" between VII and VIII besides some apps from the Note 2 and me talking some pngs out of the framework and SystemUI that were not being used anyway. No added tweaks and none takin away. Nothing I touched would have caused these "hangups". So if you have "hangups" now you would have had them on VII also. That's how little was changed.But if you are flashing versions over top one another that is your problem. A complete wipe is always needed.Check your apps and find out which is eating up your resources. Or go to the Task Manager and free up some ram.:D

ETA? We don't ask about ETA's But since you have the cojones :eek: to ask. I run each build for 2 weeks or more before I release. So if there are any problems with the rom I can fix it before I releasing it. :D

BLACKSTAR IX
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
It still use the space up there for notifications. Their just moved over to the right. No different than if the AT&T logo still sat there. Since you want the logo gone flash one of the toggle in the OP and you will be good to go.;)

EDIT: If I seem like Im coming across mean or snappy. Sorry. The doctor has me on some type of steroid for my ear infection. And I think it makes me a little moody. So again my apologies. :cool:

BLACKSTAR IX
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Tablet Mode will be back. But you will not be able to use the the toggles that are in the OP or the one currently in VIII. I could not get them to work together. My smali and coding skills still needs to get better. I reached out for help from a better Dev but he never responded back.

So for a recap.

Tablet Mode for now, will only work with these toggle.(Without shortcuts)

These ones will not work with Tablet Mode or a dpi lower than 220.
