[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
This is a very good ROM. You guys do good work. I have a request that you add text icons to the desktop shortcut editor. I' not a real Java programmer but here's what I came up with for some of my applications:

// Written by Frank P. Westlake,
// released to Public Domain 2013-11-27.
package app.fpw.system;

import android.graphics. Bitmap;
import android.graphics. Bitmap.Config;
import android.graphics. Canvas;
import android.graphics. Paint;
import android.graphics. Paint.Align;
import android.graphics. Rect;
import android.util. FloatMath;
import java.lang. Float;

public class TextIcon
{
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
public static Bitmap getTextIcon(String text, int width, int height)
{
return(getTextIcon(text, width, height, 0));
}
public static Bitmap getTextIcon(String text, int width, int height, int color)
{
text=text.trim();
Rect R=new Rect();
Paint p=new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
p.setShadowLayer(2, 10, 10, 0xFF000000);
p.setColor(color==0?0xFFFF0000:color);
p.setSubpixelText(true);
p.setTextSize(256);
p.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
p.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), R);

float H=Float.valueOf(Math.abs(R.top-R.bottom));
float W=Float.valueOf(Math.abs(R.right-R.left));

float S=W<H?H:W;

Bitmap b=Bitmap.createBitmap((int)FloatMath.ceil(S), (int)FloatMath.ceil(S), Config.ARGB_8888);
b.setDensity(Bitmap.DENSITY_NONE);
Canvas c=new Canvas(b);
c.drawText(text, (float)(b.getWidth()/2.0), (float)(b.getHeight()/2.0+H/2.0), p);
return(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, width, height, true));
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
public static boolean getTextIcon(String text, int width, int height, String path)
{
Bitmap b=getTextIcon(text, width, height);
if(b!=null)
{
try
{
b.compress(
Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG
, 100
, new java.io.FileOutputStream(path)
);
return(true);
}
catch(java.io.FileNotFoundException e){}
}
return(false);
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
}

It's noteworthy that after I published this in an Android program a couple of years ago Google added a text icon creation routine to their Android interface for Eclipse.

I should have added that text icons are only good with a small number of characters, but with some languages, such as Japanese, a single character says a lot. Also, many of the graphics in Unicode are very useful.

It just now occured to me that the shortcut editor is a feature Apex. Sorry if I caused any confusion. Now I'll go try to find an Apex forum.

See if you have a lot of these files:

They can all be deleted. This was a problem on an older version of this ROM but I can't find any yet on the latest version.

Please reply whether this helps or not so that others will know.

Does this ROM support the S-pen and Multi-window?

How is it with Battery life? (I tried the CyanogenMod and my battery life dropped by 50% compared to the stock ROM. Not saying it was the ROM, but that was the only thing that changed.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CayenneGTS:
Does this ROM support the S-pen and Multi-window?

How is it with Battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Thank you...

Stopping by to say thank you for the ROM. I know it came out last year but just flashed it yesterday and it is still kicking @$$.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
I do not and I'm not interested in those features, sorry not much help on that subject.

As for the battery life, mine is showing signs of old age because it needs to be charged everyday. But in your signature it says you have a GNote 2, that phone is newer and the battery is larger (2500mAh vs 3100mAh) so you might get better usage per day than mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Beardedface:
No on the multi window and s pen. If you want those features you need to use a stock based Rom. There is a couple in the dev section. Pick your poison. Either will do. But as for this Rom. It is great. Flash away and give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
If you want you can always use GMD S Pen Control app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CayenneGTS:
I tried the newer version of this ROM based on CP7.1 and my phone doesn't register on the Rogers network or even Bell any :(more.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Beardedface:
Have you tried flashing a different modem. Or checking your apn settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CayenneGTS:
There are no APN settings so I've tried to add one, but it doesn't save. I hit save and it goes away and you cannot see any new apn. Weird to say the least.

How do I flash a different modem? I have a Rogers i317m LTE phone. Do you also know which modem I need to flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Beardedface:
Isn't that a note 2. If so this is for the note 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
You seriously need to pay attention to what you put in your phone.

1. This section of the forum is ONLY for the Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 (AT&T): so all the resources on here are for this phone only.

2. The ROM discussed on these threads is: AoCP-CP6.2 which means Android JellyBean 4.3.1

3. Do your search correctly or you will end up with a BRICK.

4. Here is what you flashed: AoCP-CP7.1 = Android KitKat 4.4.2

You are welcome :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Flash uber kernel (make sure it's a 4.3 version not a 4.4) and use the wheatly governor. That should do it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
This ROM is becoming unstable by the day. When I play a video(this happens randomly) the screen gets filled with pixel and they get brighter until it reboots. Some times tapping the return key causes the phone to reboot. :confused:

Is this {http://blownco.com/index.php/doc_download/13678-uber-jb43-quincyatt-nov09-jd81} the kernel you are referring to?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
May be data corruption. One cause of that is a bad USB connection during flash. The solution to this is to reflash and make sure you have a good cable and snug connections.

This ROM has been in wide use for a couple of months so I can't think of another probable cause.

Frank

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Yes, that kernel would be a good one. [MENTION=5545307]Frank Westlake[/MENTION] provides some great insight and sometimes, if you flash a lot, after many months your symptoms can occur. One thing I do, while more drastic than a reflash, is format my internal SD card. Make sure you BACKUP everything you don't want to lose if you do this as it will erase your phone completely. I use CWM or TWRP recovery to format, not the PC. But try the kernel first if you haven't already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
And that's a very good thing to do if corruption is the problem. Corruption can spread like a disease. This spread would cause increasing trouble like you have and any applications used in the corrupted environment could be saving corrupted data, which those applications could use again and continue the corruption after the rest of the system was restored. So do not restore the data partition from a backup unless the backup was made prior to the flash that initiated the corruption.

Is there a mirror? Something seems to be wrong with the DL, it keeps stopping as if completed at about 60-80mb in to the download.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
Sorry about that. I've been using a bootloader-locked device for a few months and USB is the only way to flash it. But the cause could still be corruption from a bad transfer: Internet -> device OR Internet -> PC -> SD-card -> device. But if the MD5 checksum matched then the problem isn't corruption from a bad transfer; but it could still be corruption from some other means.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
To everyone else, he is talking about the ROM link (NOT the kernel) and the one posted in OP is working fine.

I see. But no I always check the MD5, besides if there was a problem with the downloaded file it wouldn't flash (happened to me before).

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

well that kernel ruined my phone, how do I get a hold of the original AoCP kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Wiped everything through TWRP and re-flashed the ROM. I will report back in a couple of days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Dirty flash the rom and it will install the stock aocp kernel....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
After flashing more than 20 ROMs from 6 different dev teams, I've come to the conclusion that none are reliable at the moment. Random reboots and lag seems to exist in each and everyone of them. :(

However, I'm not giving up, so the search continues...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
Could it be that you've worn out your NVRAM?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] elheffe:
Give them time to settle in. All ROMs will act like that if you don't. After a couple reboots and about four+ hours you will start to see the ROM smooth out and start to perform. Some may take longer.

If you continue to experience lag after following the proper procedure that is normally outlined by the Dev in the op then the problem is likely on your end ( corruption or hardware problem of some sort).

Patience is the key!?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
I agree. The devs generally say flash, boot, let settle for 10 minutes or more, reboot and then set up to your liking. I also wipe cache and d/cache before first boot after flashing. Totally unnecessary but habit forming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Trust me, after doing all that flashing, those procedures happen by muscle memory.

These are the issues that all the ROMs I've used suffered from (no one ROM suffered from both issues): *RANDOM REBOOTS* or *SUPER LAG*.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
I hate to continue this discussion in this forum but it seems better to finish it here then to try to move it.

Start looking at the common items.

The software are you flashing with: perhaps it has been corrupted and corrupts everything it transfers. You can test this by flashing through USB and see if the reboots and lag are gone.

If the data is being flashed from a removable SD card maybe the card is bad or maybe it is not properly seated. Try a new card.

Maybe your device has suffered an electro-static shock that has permanently damaged some part of the area where the data is being flashed to.

Maybe all of the above or maybe the ROM(s) just has/have bugs. I will investigate further and see WTF is going on.

Thank you for the input.

I do apologize, but I swear I thought read that on your web site.......but, I am glad to hear that I am in error. Your ROM is all I ever used on my old Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frank Westlake:
It's still 2.7.0.0 for SGH-I717.

It turns out that the failure is because the archive is not setup for installation through Recovery -- it contains only 'recovery.img' and no installation script. I extracted the image and copied it directly ('dd' method) and it works well.

As a testament to how awesome this rom is, I have a story:

Last night, a local on craigslist offered to buy my i717 for more than it's worth. With the money, I was thinking about going out and getting an international note from the market here, and basically upgrade for free. Then, I took at look at the n7000 android development section and noticed that this rom is NOT for that phone. The fact that I'm having second thoughts about upgrading from a qualcomm to an exynos, basically for free, is pretty crazy. Love love LOVE this rom :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
You know people they say, the grass is greener on the other side, you might make the change and find out that there is nothing really better about the n7000 international note over the i717 note. I can't see it being that much superior than ours.

had a quick question--if and when the update is released to fix weather (and whatever bugs you may have encountered in that span), will it be something that can be flashed on top of AoCP-CP1 or will a full wipe be necessary?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Johnsondr80:
Most often a fix is provided as a small patch. We loving refer to them as upgrades. Upgrades do not require a full wipe.

A completely new build would be a update. Updates require a full wipe.

I try to aim for upgrades when ever possible. And at this time if I'm pressed to make an assumption I think it will be a update. I need to look closer into it. But I am guessing that the 'bad' data is already set in the system and a factory data reset will be necessary so that the new app can build new data. How ever.... I my self do believe a upgrade would be possible if the user first cleared app data and uninstalled, then applied new app with a cache wipe.

So in short. To answer the question bluntly, its still in the air.
