What was your original issue? Mine was that it would lock fine while stationary but if I was driving it would lock then lose its lock then relock constantly.

Don't you lose all your OS settings when you clear data for settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Can someone check something for me?

Goto "Settings=>About phone=>Status" and look at "Mobile network type".

When you phone isn't actively transmitting data, does it go back to UMTS:3 or does it stay at HSPA:11? Looking at it another way, does you phone ever drop back to 3G when idle?

My phone seems to be stuck in H all the time and never idling back to 3G and I suspect that's the reason my battery life is dying.

I have had consistent problems with GPS with ICS. My best option was stock with the GB modem, Hotwire's kernel, and configured to North American pool... until CM9 RC2. GPS is now flawless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
I've never experienced that problem with my Note, across several ROMs and radio firmware. I spent about four hours on the road a couple of days ago, split across three trips. Never lost GPS signal once. After I left the underground parking garage, GPS locked on in the time it took me to drive a couple of intersections to the first traffic light, about 20 seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GRIM.657:
Does CM9 not include a task manager? Is there some way to get a shortcut to a taskmanager when you longpress home and pull up the recently opened apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
Just download one from the market(Play store).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ray_Banci:
I'm pretty sure the gs3 task manager was pulled and turned into an apk here on xda..

I can't find the thread though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] saturnspike:
I'm still experiencing poor/useless N wifi reception. I tried flashing the UCLF5 modem which is what I was on previously, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. I read that the modem files control Cell, WIFI, and GPS. Is that not accurate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmb993:
This is probably a terrible place to ask this question but if I miss a few nightlys can I just skip to the newest one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vbcecil66:
Yes you can. You don't have to go in order because the nightlies are the full version of the rom. They are not just partial updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmb993:
Awesome, thanks. PS, just flashed tonight's nightly and everything is running solid and I'm loving it so far! Now let's see how battery life is :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] defacto:
do you have to do data wipe or any wipes going from nightly to nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Just wipe caches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] awe215:
I am with you. I am stuck with stock ics for the note until calibration in cm9 is worked out. The only way it is right for me is in landscape mode...which sucks for portrait sketches :(

The play store calibration app (which seems to be a work around) is only supported for the international version--double :( :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vbcecil66:
Have you tried activating the pointer icon for the stylus? Granted this will not solve the problem, but it will give you a visual representation of where you are touching on the screen and you could adjust based off of that.

To activate it go to settings >> Language & Input, go all the way to the bottom and click "Show icon when using stylus". It will then put a mouse pointer on your screen only when the stylus is in contact with the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Has anyone noticed that they can't quite reach the edge of the screen using touch but can using the spen? I'm suspecting some hardware issue with my Note =(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] awe215:
Thanks, but tried that too...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that and it sort of helps...but I take my note to figure drawing workshops etc and need it to be calibrated. It needs to work. In fact stock kind of sucks too, when I try and flip the thing upside down (changing from left to right handed calibration as well) it doesn't quite work. When it is calibrated only portrait really seems to work well. We need a proper calibration process (like wacom penabled tablet pc's) which can be saved and switched to on the fly. Like the play store app promises but unfortunately for us ATT noters on cm9 it is a fail.

So, for all left handed note owners who use it extensively as an image making device, I would say stick with stock ics for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmb993:
Anyone getting brutally slow data speeds? I'm on UCLF5 but my data speeds are just terrible. With full bars I'm getting like 1-2 mbps down when I used to be pulling almost 10 down.

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't realize turning off the LTE (since I don't have it in my area) would also turn off my hspa+ radio too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VoluntaryMan:
This would be fantastic. Have you emailed the app's developer and requested quincyatt support?

CM9 final release on the way! woot!

Hopefullt that means some CM10 love very soon!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
I was using it to take handwritten notes yesterday and landscape was working better. The offset seems to be physically tied to the panel, as it offsets differently in each orientation. Hopefully the panel supports calibration or adjustments.

Edit: Seems to be offset to the top left when the display is vertical. It keeps the same physical offset in all orientations.

Edit:

Wacom W8501 appears to be the s-pen digitizer controller. I'm guessing it's i2c from the dmesg log. May have some configuration registers to write calibration data to.

Edit:

/sys/class/input/input12 - sec_e-pen is the input file

Edit once more:

For your hacking enjoyment, I just went through all of the I2C devices on the i717 and listed them by bus #, device address, driver name, and my best guess as to what the device is (most were obvious, some not so much). The last device (on bus #18) is what I was looking for, "wacom_g5sp_i2c" which is the S-Pen controller. It seems to be the same chip used in many other Wacom-based pen devices, hopefully it has a calibration option on the kernel driver. I would bet that the international Note (n7000) has the same chip, or at least a driver-compatible chip, and that the calibration method used there would be applicable to our Notes as well.

http://pastebin.com/4ppbP5BD

And again: Looks like h0tw1r3's already on top of this, he committed a patch not long ago that apparently adds wacom calibration options:

https://github.com/h0tw1r3/kernel_samsung_sghi717/commit/4cc391c8b0d500f0fc0a856f0dd5ed630f757860
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jaReyes:
I have that problem as well, I just assumed that my finger was too fat to reach all the way to the edge of the screen. I always use the s-pen in these cases.

Not really a problem for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
Hoping someone has some helpful input here. I've been running the 'touch' version of cwm since I got my Note, and it's worked great for everything so far. Wanted to give CM9 a try, so I got the install .zip, latest gapps.zip, wiped EVERYTHING, and went to install the .zip file. Got an error message and installation failed. Reading the first post, I saw that this .zip file is only officially supported by 1 recovery, mine fell into the category of not working. When I click on his link for recovery, it's not a flashable file that I can tell, or am I wrong here? I believe it was an .img file for use with ROM manager. Anyone know of a flashable version of the required recovery that will flash with the current 'touch' recovery I have installed...keeping in mind I don't have a bootable device. Or another source for CM9 that is flashable with CWM? Any option would be great...thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Emir5kurt:
Download a rom to your pc and connect your phone to your computer via USB while in recovery mode. Then i believe you need to mount usb storage from cwm settings and transfer the rom to your sd card.

Also i recommend using twrp. It gave me zero problems and backups/restores are very fast compared to cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
I almost went with twrp before I started this process, but it said cwm backups arent compatible and I have a couple different ROMs all set up with all my apps in backup files. It sucks having to switch recoveries back and forth, but it looks like that's where I'm at right now if I want to try CM9. Thanks the help, I'll give twrp a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eastside770:
Can someone please explain to me what cmod9 is? What makes it so different from other roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
This is the reason why you root your phone. That's all you need to know. Mostly all roms for the note is based off of cmod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
You can update to the latest non-touch cwm via ROM manager app for free.

Or you can pay to update to the latest touch version if you want via the app, or download it and adb it to the phone.

Or use twrp 2.2.1.1

If you still have your backups on the phone you could restore one and then use ROM manager to update your recovery, then flash cm9.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Shouldn't be long before we see an official CM10 post. Anyone seen the new boot animation yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jaReyes:
CM9 (CyanogenMod 9) is a ROM based on Android ICS.

Your Phone came originally with a ROM based on Android 2.3 (later updated to ICS) modified by Samsung (TouchWiz). That ROM had some extra features that Samsung deemed important so we could "enjoy" the Samsung/Android experience. Some people don't like TouchWiz, some people do.

Some of the ROMs you see in the Development Forums are based on TouchWiz with some modifications, making it better for some people.

The pure Android experience is provided by Google on their Nexus line of phones. If someone with a non Nexus phone wants to have the pure Android experience we have to rely on custom ROMs based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project), in this case CM9 is a ROM based on AOSP.

I've been jumping from ROM to ROM until I tried CM9, for me CM9 is the best ROM for my Galaxy Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] professorbeej:
I've been running nightlies. With this new stable release, is it an upgrade from the most recent nightly?

(Sorry if this sounds dumb. Never run CM before, and still getting the hang of how it all works.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SkyStars:
Yes it is an upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Simply clear caches and install the new stable build directly over your current rom. /done :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myculito:
Can anyone who's been running the stable version confirm / deny anything that DOES NOT work?

I would just like to know what functionality I would be giving up by trying out CM9 versus the stock ICS ROM i'm currently using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
CM9 is years a head of stock ics in performance. You will not regret it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myculito:
Thanks for the response. I think i'm gonna test drive it this weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nlghtcrawler:
I've tried other ROMS but I always end up coming back to this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
You'll be giving up the proprietary Samsung apps, widgets, and S-pen gestures that rely on the Touchwiz framework, of course.

It's definitely still worth it, though! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myculito:
So the pen will still work, but (of course) the Samsung apps aren't included? So I would just have to find apps that would bring back that functionality?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
The s-pen works, even the pressure sensitivity, so agnostic apps like Sketchbook Mobile will work perfectly including the sensitivity.

However, some s-pen apps are dependent on Touchwiz for some silly reason and those won't work. This includes the Samsung apps like S-Memo (use Papyrus beta as a replacement) and Crayon Physics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] malfuncion:
Can someone give the status on USB audio out working or not?

Edit: I tested myself and it's still not working :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bklam:
Just a heads up for anyone who is on Rogers in Canada. I flashed the stable CM9, changed the settings for LTE and was unable to get any LTE signals. Rom ran smooth other than the fact that the capacity buttons did not light up and LTE signals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mowiemark:
I agree I always come back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
The S-Pen still works but you need a replacement for S-Memo/Note. I like Memo Beta and Papyrus. The other thing is you lose left-handed mode but I think they're working on pen calibration (as it isn't perfect for left or right handed use right now).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
It's been a while since I've flashed a CM for the first time on a device...but have a quick question. I did all the wipes before installing, but after waiting and then flashing gapps, and then downloading a file manager I noticed my internal sdcard was left intact. I was under the impression that was part of the factory reset and wipe. Did I get a bad wipe, or is this the usual outcome? I double backed-up everything, to realize it's all there still.

Also, has anyone else noticed when you choose 'advanced settings' it shows as 'Galaxy S II'?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
factory reset doesn't delete any of your files like photos, music, etc, only deletes the android system. You'd have to wipe SD card to get rid of everything which unless you want to do it, is not necessary. To install new roms just factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
That's correct. Some good ones were listed above, and I also recommend "Skitch" for drawing on maps, photos, screenshots, etc. (It even has its own built-in GPS/maps feature!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
I think the base CM build for the AT&T Note came from the AT&T Galaxy SII, which has the same core hardware. I'm pretty sure Samsung re-used much of the SII design when bringing the Note to AT&T, just upgrading the screen and adding the digitizer and a few other things. We do need a settings menu for S-Pen specific calibrations and such, so hopefully CM10 will bring more S-Pen stuff.

Yea its called xda lol click get cm9 download, flash. After the stable capacitive lights were iffy but it seems to have worked its way out now. Running great.

Also stock rom also goes from lte to hsdpa to 3g. You just don't know it.

4g - lte

H - hsdpa aka at&T's 4g

3g equals battery saving lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
I installed the latest nightly [my first install of CM9 on the Note] strictly for DSP Manager. The volume of the Note is not usable stock. I have CM7 on my Atrix and DSP Manager settings are system wide [ringtones, notifications, BeyondPod, all sound gets about twice as loud]. On CM9, on the Note DSP only affected a few apps with integrated EQ settings such as Music Players etc., but BeyondPod, ringtones, alarms were all still dreadfully quiet. I'm not sure if this is only related to the latest nightly or is just the case on all ICS based CM's? Does anyone know if there is a version where DSP is truly system wide and affects all sounds out speaker like on CM7?

Great work on CM9 to everyone involved! Was very smooth and fast, UI looks beautiful, boot animation was very nice. Ran into a few FC's trying to use camera and gallery, and S-Pen was a little buggy...but other than that a pretty rock-solid version.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Yeah, I was getting registered clicks holding my S-Pen over an inch away from the screen sometimes on CM9...with some overall erratic behavior like clicking on things 2 inches higher than where I touched the screen with it. Though my pen went bad, flashed back to stock ICS and S-Pen was dead on again. [I've only tried on CM9 install though, the latest nightly...I'm going to run the last stable later today] While it isn't a calibration, and really just a test, I get pin-point accuracy after I run the S-Pen test by hitting *#0*# from stock dialer.

I'm on cm9 and I see the same low volume with Dog Catcher (current podcast app of choice). The stock ics volume, I agree, is abysmally low. The Cm9 DSP control is so good.......... I get choked up thinking about it (give me a minute).... Ok. But as you pointed out DSP is not system wide as of yet.

If you do stumble on a podcast related fix outside of the normal channels, Cm9 development thread, please feel free to pm me. Because unless, we see it in these last stable Cm9 builds, we'll probably have to hope for it in the upcoming official CM10 releases.

Cm developers are truly remarkable in that they are methodical, thorough, and relentless in their work. Constantly amazing work, thanks guys.

Running CM9 stable... anyone else having problems with their voice input not working when paired with a car via Bluetooth? I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me. Weird... :(

Edit: Manual flash of UCLF6 modem fixed it. Still was weird, though. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I have had nothing but problems with GPS running CM9. I flashed the Gingerbread modem and all is well now. Something in the CM kernel doesn't like the ICS modem. I suspect they developed it against the GB modem so they've never noticed it. It's definitely the CM9 kernel, because if I switch to the official ATT ICS kernel, GPS is fine with ICS modem.

so for anyone having GPS or related problems, try the GB modem. The battery drain seems to be much better too with this modem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GRIM.657:
I'd just like to say that all these reports of GPS errors made me quite reluctant to jump from stock ics to cm9, but thus far the only GPS problem I've had is that it for some reason some time it can take forever to get a lock when I'm at home, and it seems to be able to lock much quicker when I'm driving, but I mean that's the important part I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myculito:
Consider switching over to the TWRP recovery. Do the wipe/cache/dalvik three times, and and then try reloading the stable build. See if that resolves your problem, as it did mine.
