Cwm was updated today so u might just want to grab that. It always worked for me. Twrp just looks pretty lol

He's right about the audio I have hhad so many different outcomes. Usually I have my head unit tuned and just use flat equalizer on my phone bbut so many different rom flashing I always have to tweak it. My normal listening volume in my car is 30 or so on some roms it's 40 others its 35. You really need to play to get the best experience. Poweramp does the trick quite well. Worth 5 bucks over the boring stock player. Plus so much nicer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dvdivx:
Twrp has a file manager. CWM doesn't. Just something to consider. It also has no problems seeing the sd card unlike the nightmares I had on CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
I did notice that. Although never had an issue with ext or int sd memory on either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Did it give you the option to restore all your apps? I don't remember it... but I never use it anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Web-head:
Download twrp 2.2 again. They fixed the issue but did not change the version number.

Not saying something is broken, just that it is different, and most definitely sounds distorted at the same/previous levels. Even turning down the volume doesn't lessen the distortion though. Where bass used to be rich and full, it sounds like a blown speaker now.

I don't see any way to turn down volume in the dsp app.

Bass without the boost enabled is pretty weak. Will have to play with the EQ now. Not a big deal, but is was perfect with R&B and Bass Boost on Slight effect before. Oh well.

I've used Poweramp, but I like the new Play Music app better with dsp manager. Would be nice if any of the music apps would provide gapless playback between tracks. One thing I miss from Apple, but I digress.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
I also used flappjaxx aosp rom previously to flashing cm9 and it worked flawlessly on slight or moderate bass boost. I gave my beats studios to my cousin and bought another pair and thought these were broken. It doesn't matter what volume you play it at the sound is distorted with any amount of bass. I replaced the apk in system/apps with a previous version that worked fine but it was still distorted. Guessing its a deeper rom issue since flappjaxx new 1.0a rom has the same issue and it is based off cm9/aosp. Hopefully there's a fix VERY soon!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
No, it didn't -- just the usual stuff about location services, backing up the phone to google, and such. :(

I also seem to recall that the Accounts and Sync menu used to have several more sync options under the Google account, but now there are only the four I listed above. Maybe I'll restore a nandroid to confirm that I'm missing something...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
When downloading and updating from ROM manager is there anything special I need to do? I can install it from there too right? I've never used ROM manager before, but it seems like the easier way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
If you install more Google apps it will show more sync options. I currently have 13 boxes to check under my main Gmail account. Did you go into play store and download all the gapps you need? Pretty sure gapps.zip just gives you ability to actually use the market. It doesn't necessarily install all of the Google apps. You still need to go to play store and download Gmail if you haven't, etc, still odd you don't have contacts, did you check your contact settings?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
Must admit, I laughed. OK...paid for premium rom manager, downloaded CM9 through ROM manager, told it to update, install GApps, and backup current ROM...boots into CWM, and CWM says it can't do it. Whats next?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Hmmm.

Well, I am still getting my legs under me. Thanx for the help. I just flashed the zip for Touch CM. II know on the page I got it, there was a referal to TWRP, but I do not know if it is the same thing. I will check.

Also, it was my intent to flash CM9 but it did not work! It errored out all over, so I (forgot) tried to flash one of the other roms I had put on the USBstorage... this was Black.

So I just went and got CM9 for today and moved it over.

When I go to flash I get:

You're on an old cwm probably. Latest touch is 5.8.4.3 I think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Did it. Looks nice, but I still can not mount or format SDCARD...

And now, even though I can see content in the directories when I look at them through the computer usb connection, when I go to install a zip those USBstorage and SDCARD directories are shown as empty.

Any ideas?

Since I can't see anything now, I cannot install a new flash... ALSO now I guess I cannot go back to a previous CWM?!

Try flashing back to stock gingerbread with odin and reset to factory. This ussually clears out anything custom roms did.

Don't forget to flash the ICS modem for CM9 use, not sure if CM9 is compatible with the older modem.

That would let me keep flashing stuff, but doesn't that avoid the potential problem for which I may want to return the phone for a replacement?

Did you mean factory reset from inside the booted OS, or from the hold-vol-up-and-down menu?

I did the nandroid? one and I noticed it formatted /data and cache and said data wipe complete. But I did not see it touch sdcard or others that seem to be the problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
What kind of sd card are you using now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Just what came with the phone. Not a separate physical card, but built in.

I did just find something.... there is a directory called emmc that has the folder with my zips in it. I had not read that anywhere but saw mention of it when someone else was complaining that after the TWRP they could not see anything in the USBstorage or SDCARD directories yet knowing the zips were there... so..

In TWRP, (for others,) look in the emmc directory when looking for your zip files to install.

zeddock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
You really should pick up a decent 16 or 32GB SD card. You can get Class 10's for next to nothing these days, and it will be crucial if you continue to flash custom roms.

And, emmc stands for "embedded multimedia card"...

Read through the whole thread before posting. I know this issue has come up several times in this thread and each time the same thing has been said for fixing it. So go back, read first, search if you still have issues, then as a last resort post your problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rtubbs85:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
what version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rtubbs85:
Clockworkmod touch based recovery last up date was 4/14
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Is that version 5.4.8.3? If not, and I doubt it is, You need to update. I answered your problem in my first response I believe thoroughly enough for you to get it fixed.

ROM Manager flashes non touch for free. They offer paid option to flash latest touch, and they offer touch .img on their website, but I'm not going to cut into their revenue so I suggest you pony up the dough, learn to do it via adb, or get twrp as I've already stated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rtubbs85:
I've tried the Rom manager way yesterday and still get the same error
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
Perhaps you still aren't up to date. Click "flash clockworkmod recovery"

5.8.4.8 is the latest and the only one that works to flash CM9

So click it, select our phone, update and flash again.

Otherwise use twrp as mentioned.

Just had the same thing happen to me on CM9-RC2. Connected via USB, was getting about 2 MB/s transfers. Then 54% of the way through copying over a ROM image, the phone's screen blanks, then displays random pixels, then powers off. Of course, logcat is reset, so there are no diagnostic messages to be had...

Steps needed to get HDMI out on SGH-i717 running CM9

Buy one of these

Plug it in.

Seriously, that is all there is to it. I am right now running the 8/04 nightly, but I have had this adapter for a while and I am pretty sure it worked on RC2.

It does have a couple of issues though. Once, it seemed to hose the display driver; I lost all the updates to the phone screen but the TV was still working. Netflix seems to output in 4:3 regardless of the video dimensions, though MX Video player works. You need to plug in the charger, but the phone won't charge. It will actually murder the battery pretty quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Yeah, that's what I was expecting. I flashed to the latest nightly just to see if that would make a difference. The video signal came up right away this time! Okay, that's a good sign. Went back to RC2 just to make sure... and now that worked as well! I tried unplugging and replugging a few times, and discovered that the HDMI signal does not always sync up properly. I have the same sort of problem on rare occasions between my PS3 and 1080p projector. You either get no signal, or you get a bunch of random noise. That happened a few times, and I thought perhaps it had something to do with the order in which things were plugged in. Things seem to work best if the last thing that is connected is the external USB power source, but that's not conclusive. So I think the first few times I tried it with RC2, the signal simply did not sync up.

There is no visible notification that HDMI output has been activated, unless you look in logcat. You'll see something about audio being re-routed to HDMI, etc. So in the end, yes, CM9-RC2 does have support for MHL. Mine's the $10 one from Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=8805

I've seen the opposite happen too, where the phone's display is updating normally, but nothing is happening on the HDMI display. In both cases, I'm seeing tons of errors spewed into logcat about not being able to allocate an overlay buffer for the display, etc. I have noticed that hardware accelerated graphics (e.g., playing H.264 videos in MX Player) mirror differently over HDMI. The video itself is displayed fine over HDMI, but UI elements (playback controls, volume bar, status bar, etc.) sometimes do not show up.

This seems to vary. I logged the contents of /sys/devices/platform/sec-battery/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc to see what was going on. It did report 0 mA current at one point, even though the phone knew it was plugged in. But I just checked it now, and it is hovering around 275 mA. If I unplug the HDMI cable from the adapter, it jumps up to around 450 mA. So maybe the adapter draws 500 mA, uses whatever it needs, and the "left over" is passed to the phone? It's not enough to keep the phone charged up if I'm playing a GPU-heavy game, but I have the Mugen 5400 mAh extended battery, which will last a good long while. Also, it's too bad you can't turn off the phone's display while leaving the HDMI output active. The best you can do is turn the brightness all the way down.

BTW - tons of gapps are crashing constantly because of my error, I'm not surprised.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
You can't fix what you've done without starting over.

1. I hope you made a full nandroid backup before you flashed CM9. If not, then remember to do so in the future before flashing new roms.

2. If you are coming from a non-CM9 rom, then you also need to do a "factory reset/wipe cache" in the recovery (this wipes Data as well) -- then go ahead and re-flash CM9 and 4/29 gapps.

3. Finally, download and reinstall all of your apps from the Play Store, or use Titanium Backup to restore APPS ONLY (not data!!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Yes, the Spen works fine with a ton of apps from the Play Store; however, CM9/CM10/AOSP/AOKP do NOT work with the proprietary Samsung-specific apps and gestures that come with the stock ICS rom.

Thanks! I'm a noob for sure. I thought between wiping davlik and flashing a new rom that it automatically accomplished what the factory reset would do. I was wrong. I'm attempting to sign into my google account and it's hanging there forever but that might be pulling down my apps backup info???
