do a scan/search in this thread there are a few that use a kernel, believe it may be more for OC, but I get great batt life using the one bigfau has in, and I use the heck out of mine phone, but chargers are cheap...ebay.

I did list the OC type kernel in the GNote Super thread, you can access it thru my signature links.

If any of you wondered if you could get the touchwiz launcher to go into landscape mode just use an app that utilizes it then turn rotation off in the 15 toggle bar. You should be able to return to the home screen in landscape.

I know it says to flash with CWM-based recovery, but does that mean that I absolutely, positively CANNOT flash with TWRP? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
Very good question since I have not gone TWRPy, I don't know, maybe someone can confirm and say "hey" that TWRP is good.

Guess I need to jump on the TWRP wagon....and try it out...idk if I can today, have the drink and beer going.

Excellent. How do you like TWRP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Kind sir..Whats 'Aroma' and 'Non-Aroma'? I suppose I get the 'Non-Aroma' one since that link is the only one available?

Just got the Note yesterday and looking to get away from stock.

Will I lose my 4G with T-Mobile if I flash this? The previous owner hacked it so it is getting 4G on T-Mobile..

Much thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] velveteen71:
I believe "Aroma" is the forthcoming update to Black Star, so that's why we can't choose it. I was wondering the same thing. Am I wrong?

As for TWRP guys.....I think it rocks. Can't imagine going back to CWM, unless I absolutely had to. You know how Touch-CWM was a big improvement over regular CWM? Well this is a huge improvement over THAT. Highly recommend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
You are correct...and i will have to try the TWRP, ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Doing some reading up, looks like the T-mobile VKL1 radio is what allows me to have T-Mobile 4G on the Note....this ROM uses AT&T ICS radio...so I guess 4G is lost?

Any T-Mobile ICS radios I can use with this ROM to allow 4G?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
When you flash this rom the radio will be replaced by the LF6. But don't worry -- just let this rom settle in for about 5 minutes, then set up your phone (sign in to google, get your apps, restore calls and sms, make it all pretty and black). Then go back into recovery and flash the VKL1 radio. Reboot and wait a few, then input your APN settings. You will be where you were before radio-wise, but in a whole lot better place rom-wise.

Preflight Checklist:

Nandroid, download VKL1 modem, back up logs and apps, download rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Really? You can use a GB radio with an ICS ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
see if this helps, I would read some if I was you just to understand...kk, do a search within the threads around here, I found a lot that just pop up regarding your question, kk

this might be a better one, I am scanning the threads for you to see what pops

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679722

UVLK1 based ICS radio found here^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The modem.bin file is for the modem chip not the rom.

The t-mobile radios used on the note come from other phones. They are not "note" radios to begin with. The VLK1 comes from the S2 and the blaze comes from the Blaze4g.

Wtf you do...?:p:D:p lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
Providing that the baseband author doesn't change the protocols for reporting signal strength (Like Apple), how the audio is handled, how the dialer app tells the baseband what number it wants the network to call, how it initiates and ends calls, and so on, it should not matter which baseband goes with with OS Version.

As there are normally two different sources creating what is released to the end user as the OS update, (The modem chip manufacturer providing the baseband), and Google providing the OS for the hardware manufacturer to marry it to the baseband, it makes some sense to me for both parties not to change the protocols, especially as there has not been any additions to the feature set between the original hardware's release and now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Cool, running this ROM and have 4G! thanks everyone~
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] n82k:
Aroma is a gapps installer that allows you to specify the Google apps that you would like to install when flashing. At least that's how it is with every other ron I've seen with (aroma).

umm.... Could I get this NOTErized??

This will be my first custom rom ran on my new Note. Just got her a couple of days ago. I've already rooted it and this Rom looks good enough. I'm not sure what I actually want out of it. I guess just no bloatware and I'm happy lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
When you upgrade are you doing the appropraite wipes? Any new out of place errors after upgrades come from restoring system data or not wiping between.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
There are nice additions like the toggles at the top of the status screen and the 4 way reboot that really improve your phone's usability.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] merlinsrealm:
Wish that was the case but have been doing this for quite sometime so wiping is not the issue :(

Eric
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Mine is working just fine. Are you sure you did all wipes following the OP? I know on IV I changed the name of the Exchange.apk to Exchange.apk.bak. to prevent it from running in the background. It caused problems for some. I took the .bak of and its perfectly fine now.

You are either on IV, didn't do all wipes or possibly restored some data that is messing up your email.

Also, try clearing the Email app data and cache.

This is the second one I set up without a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] merlinsrealm:
Did the following...

Downloaded to sdcard

Rebooted to CWM

Wiped data/factory reset

Wiped Cache partition

Went into advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache

Completely uncalled for haha someone call the law! I like thick to but only in the chest and ass. To much plumpness going around here haha. BTW I've ran the from for a little over a week and everything has been great till yesterday. I've been having a lot of home screen freezing for a couple minutes. Nothing works but the pull down screen along with a couple apps freezing and force closing after about a minute. I haven't installed anything new or done anything since flashing the from so idk.

Let me first say thank you for this rom bigfau!

I tried to flash this tonight doing all the steps suggested in the OP, and after I reset i get hung at the Samsung logo boot screen. Tried reflashing and still happens every time.

I was able to boot into recovery and flash another rom I had saved to get the phone back up working, but i am wondering if maybe I need to flash back to stock, or at least a stock ICS rom?

going all the way back to full stock seems like a bit of work, having to reroot and all, but if that's the most surefire way to get the bug out I would do it. Wonder what the consensus was in here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andROIDS:
Have you tried redownloading the rom? Maybe you got a bad download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sheon849:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
no need to go to stock...what CWM are you using? what do you mean after you reset (reboot)? Could have a bad file, yes I would redownload the ROM.

+1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dillsnik:
yes, reboot, after rom install.

Using CWM 5.5.0.4

downloading rom now, hopefully that is all it was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
ok, let us know how it goes, also ensure you have enough juice on your GNote...battery power, kk ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 1tontomato:
Just a little fyi TWRP used to have a thread around here, but it can now be found with the gooim app from the market. That's if anyone wants to ditch CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rayandreas:
News flash:

If your looking for a stable, clean, mean, black and green machine, this is the rom for you!!!

Instructions given by bigjoe on how to do a major cleaning before flashing this will indeed help in the stability and overall performance of the rom.

There are no tricks to this...its just a solid, clean running rom that is the best out there for our notes. There are some cool others out there but I am really happy with this rom.

I want to thank bigfau for his work. Dont stop hooking it up brother.

And bigjoe, I knew a girl one time who loved to eat and come to find out she had a spirit of gluttony. so, I told the spirit, "come out of her"! and the spirit said," for two cookies I will"!

It worked after redownloading! Thank you so much for the suggestions. I also dis have pretty low battery, not sure if that was part of the problem...

I need to post a thread or comment somewhere though because I am having problems getting TBU to run properly after from install. It is giving me 3 error messages and the from is hanging like a mother k had to factory reset and just manually setup everything I had.

First error is calendar sync not working properly, second is messages sync not working properly, and third is something acore not running properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigfau:
Wow. What did you do? Lol. I flash my rom at least 10 times when Im am working on it. And thats doing all needed wipes and I haven't had any problems like that. Did you follow the Op flashing instructions?

Yes, it wasn't from the rom install, it was after running TiBU that I was getting all those problems. The rom runs great after I do a factory reset from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:

Nope. Battery life is great. I'm running OC @ 1.83GHz and my battery life is fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
I wonder if I should do a full wipe and start over. Everything is working fine, it's just eating up my battery. Just listening to music for 10 minutes took me down from full power down to 82% Does that sound right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goresick:
Saturday I listened to music the whole time I was cutting grass, using Black*STAR V and Beats Audio. So if I lost 18% every 10 minutes, I would have been -8% battery :) assuming I'd started with a full charge (which I didn't).

Was your screen on the whole time? Wi-fi? Data? I recommend getting Better Battery Stats. I use that and Juice Defender Ultimate.

Keeps my battery life maxed out on any rom!

Very nice rom btw. Think I'm gonna stick with it till JB fleshes out.
