[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] id_mew:
Just wondering what's your speed test on Telus when on LTE?

And thanks for ur quick response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Im not in the city so I don't have LTE sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
So far only the modems have been flashed on the Note. I don't recall any RIL uploads or mention at all. But recalling to past phones, I don't believe you want to change RILs on CM ROMs. Changing the RIL on CM ROMs can cause no phone or data connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
I am on a different rom (objection LF5) but am using the Bell MUGLF4 modem and I have zero problems what-so-ever. It is literally working perfect. Try re-flashing it, wipe cache & dalvik and fix permissions see if that helps, it might not but worth a shot.

I'm using bell but here's my speedtest. Bell and Telus share the same network BTW

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
I was actually having issues with the stock GB and ICS bell offerings (dropped LTE data requiring a reboot). They all went away when I flashed Flapjaxx's AT&T based roms. With the UCLF6 modem, I have not had a single issue over the last two weeks travelling all over the GTA whether I was in an LTE area or not. The phone has transitioned flawlessly between areas that gave me reproducable issues on the stockmodems. As a result, I have hesitated in flashing this Canadian based rom.

Like many here, I am seeking better battery life (my phone gave up the ghost tonight right in the middle of my son's soccer game...no pictures!!)

I think I will finally pull the trigger tonight after she charges back up.:o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
I had poor battery life with ATT based roms too, I dunno what it is or if ATT users experience the same thing, it could be the CSC files but ATT mutilates their builds with garbage down to the framework, so it could be that as well. I've definitely noticed better battery life using a Canadian base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
I am hoping for a similiar bump in battery life...I just hope the modem is more stable for me then it was from stock...Perhaps Bell was just having issues in my area that they have hopefully since worked out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
Since we are talkimg about battery. I posted a few days ago my experiences with this rom. A few more days have gone by and here is what i am seeing. Still have 15% as i type this update.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaodx:
I have an AT&T i717 with Bell network and it seems I only can use AT&T modem. Every time I flash Bell, Telus or Rogers modem, my note runs very slow. Is it a problem of AT&T i717? Any suggestions? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ebuechler3:
What's your screen on time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
What rom are you using? Test out my rom if you havent already and see if you notice a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaodx:
I am using your ROM now, but with AT&T modem. Once I flash a Canadian carriers modem, my note gets frozen almost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
I would re download the rom and wipe all data a couple times to be safe and see if that makes a diference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
S**t. I forgot to look at that. I use 4 different batteries. 1 oem and 3 ebay specials. The ebay specials are nowhere near as good as the oem. Which is obvious. Ao when im on the oem battery i will update again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaodx:
I wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache 3 times and still have same problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mimmus:
@shaodx

I also had identical problem with any Canadian modem (solved by AT&T modem). Don't know why phone is so sluggish.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] id_mew:
That's weird I'm getting 10mb download and 10 upload, I running stock Bell ICS and modem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Only other suggestion would be to play around with the band settings dialing *#*#2263#*#*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
Has anyone tested the optional mods and kernel? Just wondering your experiences with them and what you tweaked to make this rom that much better? What have you removed what have you added? Sam did a great job putting this together and I have yet to have any issues with this rom. :good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tizzy:
Would flashing the modem conversion on another ROM (CM9) have any negative effects?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Please read the OP people. It says nothing anywhere about conversions being a modem conversion and if you read the OP you would know that they're only for a Canadian based rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tizzy:
Isn't "effectively turning them into RUXLF4/MUGLF4 and your device SGH-I717R/SGH-I717M." changing the modem? Or am I mistaken that modem is not equivalent to radio/baseband?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
You are some what correct but are confusing my conversions with the modems. Modem does effect your baseband version but does not effect build or device number. However, you can have a baseband version that is the same as build number. My conversions are related to the build and device number which are located in build.prop not in the modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tizzy:
So these will change the baseband version, and will effectively make my device optimized for the Rogers/Bell frequencies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
If your referring to the modems, yes. Modem = Baseband.

Bell/Rogers conversions are

not

related to baseband and are

only

for my Rom to change the build.prop and CSC files, which have no relation to baseband.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
ATT, Bell, Telus, and Rogers modems (aka:radio or baseband) should all work with each of the 4. But not always. Across the forum some say the Canadian radios run slow on the ATT I717 or certain radios do not give LTE in certain areas. Different areas and different phones have different results. Best to start with the radio for your carrier. You can always try the others to compare. But do not expect results right away. Some say you need to let the radio settle in for a day. Whether this is true or not I do not know.

I can say I am running the Rogers ROM with the Rogers radio on ATT with a Rogers Note and have just as good results as using an ATT radio and ROM. What works for you may be different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
The answer is it Does Not work on cm9. Tried and tested by myself. No workie. As OP states this conversion file works best with this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
Still a great rom! Still waiting to here experiences with other kernels or mods. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JohnnyQ1964:
You should setup for donations... This ROM is smooth.

I'm very pleased that we finally have a Canadian ROM.

Did I see somewhere that Bell specific app are on the App store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Donate added at request of users.

All bell apps are available through the play store, yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JohnnyQ1964:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Wow, JohnnyQ1964 your generous contribution to this project is highly appreciated. Thank you, check the OP for another thanks.

I'm working on an update guys, should be here in the next day or two.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] akurit:
Currently running an I717R on Bell with the Bell Conversion. I also installed the phMOD with a dandelion live wallpaper and its very nice. I really like that I can have the bell csc, prop, and modem on my rogers unlocked phone while on the bell network.

Thanks Sam and I look forward to the thigns to come.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
I have been using this rom for three days now and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Thanks so much...Very well done!!:victory:

To those hesitating, as I did ( comming from Flap's excellent rom), don't wait another minute....This is THE rom for your Canadian phone...

After a triple WIPE, I flashed this with the BELL modem and build prop.

I then flashed PaleHorse's excellent 15 toggle (essential for those that want exteneded shutdown options and one touch access to hotspot etc.) - confirmed working very nicely with this rom..

I then flashed electron's S3 mod o get S-voice - also working niceley

Admittedly my only concerns about this rom came from my own impatience...The first day, I spent alot of screen time getting back all my programs and settings back to the way I like it.. I am sure it was the rom settling in but I nearly freaked out at how fast I burned through my battery that day... I never gave it a fair testing so I can't comment on the out of the box kernal.

I installed hotwire's kernal the first day and used system tuner to set minimum to 192...I don't overclock as battery life is most important to me (yes I understand "race to idle") and I find this rom plenty fast for my usage.

This is where I have been most surprised with this setup!!!!! Battery life has been AMAZING!!!!:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

The Bell modem has been rock solid...another surprise for me as I had had issues with my out of the box setup on Gingerbread and after the OTA update from Bell to ICS. My phone would require a reboot moving between LTE and non LTE areas around the GTA. I had no such issues with the UCLF6 modem on Flap's rom, although that modem introduced slower GPS locks.... I am happy to report that the Bell modem included in the OP works flawlessly in all respects...LTE transitioning is perfect..LTE speeds are lightning fast and GPS locking works as it should! I can't account for why my experience is different this time around but I am pleasantly surprised.

I should note that I also installed electron's CRT off mod...My one totally uneccessary gulity pleasure :o... It works with this rom with one minor issue... I used to have a nice picture of the wife and kids on my insecure swipe up lock screen...The crt mod somehow introduced a large white picture of a lock on the lock screen obscuring my picture....As I wasn't really using the feature for security... I simply did away with the lockscreen...

I understand that an update is comming and look forward to see what else you do with this rom even though I can't imagine what can be improved upon...

Thanks so much for your work!!!!

Update: New build w/ h0tkernel and conversion zips now available with carrier apps included.

4-way Power Menu also available as flashable zip, will be included in future builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Thanks for your work....I have been using this rom to tether my touchpad today....Battery has been sipping at approximately 8% per hour. I would not even consider tethering without the phone being plugged in on other roms.

Loving the battery life...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
And thank you for your contribution towards my work, very appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
Do we need to factory wipe the update? And im going to assume that after we update, reflash our chosen conversion file?

Thanks.

I wanna say it needs a full factory wipe before update? Unless system tuner is not an app? 4way pwr works no problem.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] turilo:
There a way to get the unlimited tethering hack on this Rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Tethering doesnt require hacks to use on canadian release
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
You can install over old build but none of the apps I've included will install unless you do a factory reset, which might not be an issue if you have it set up the way you want already. Major differences between last build and this build is more apps + h0tkernel and you can just install h0tkernel over old build without my update so do it whatever way you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
Fantastic! Good to know. Thank you again for the hard work. Personally things are smooth on the original rom. So impressed with the battery.

Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Spydawg:
This is running great for me. Bell Mobile TV works again, it didn't work with any other ROMS I tried.

Big thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Spydawg:
I installed all the optional mods from the OP, They all worked great.

But I also tried to install Electron73's CRT OFF animation, it works but screws up the lock screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Can confirm that the Google now mod for ICS is working with this rom... I flashed the Reeko tubs zip from this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856

I expected it to be clunky...but after playing with it for an hour I can declare it to be FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iThrive:
I would have to totally agree with you on this. I flashed the same one this morning. I'm loving GoogleNow/GoogleVoice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
It's a little freaky how fast it returns results...I am in an LTE area and the results are lightening fast!! The voice recognition is also impressive. It even understands me when I mumble...which is often...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iThrive:
Ya, very impressed with its mumble-proof feature as well. I've said my own share of mumbling that was surprisingly corrected. I used to be a bit jealous of Siri but that is now a thing of the past.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iThrive:
I'm using this ROM and I have just installed the phMOD. It installs fine (although the first boot took quite the long time). After first boot all seems to be fine. I also have the 15 toggle addon and GoogleNow. The only problem I have is that this is no longer a 100% Canadian ROM because after I flashed phMOD, I got back the crappie AT&T Address Book.

Anyone know how to get rid of it. That bothers me so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Technically a repost but I'm on Bell so I thought it'd be more comparable to Telus (and maybe Rogers) users than ATT. 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.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] turilo:
Does anyone know where i can get stock rogers Rom? Need to get my note repaired
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Deleting the contacts.apk from the phMOD.zip should fix the problem I'd imagine. Not sure why it would be in there in the first place, I've never really played around with that mod. You can also extract the contacts.apk from my rom and just push to system/app if you set the permissions correctly.

What rom are you using? I've just been watching mine briefly and it flashed umts once but has been favoring hspa.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
That's exactly what happens for me. I can see it flash UMTS:3 quickly once when I connect and then it sticks at HSPA.

I've tried both CM9 and the custom rom from this thread. Are you on Telus? I'm on Bell so it might not be carrier related as I had suspected (although when I was on Wind, it didn't have this issue).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
I'm on Telus, which Bell and Telus share towers so are very similar. I'm not experiencing any battery drain however. Did you try the Bell conversion and reflash the Bell modem after install? Which release of mine did you experience the battery drain, the original build or the one just released?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Well, I'm still running some more tests so I can only say suspected battery drain (I just got LTE as well so that's definitely a contributing factor). Running on pure HSPA right now to see how that goes but I noticed it doesn't dip back into UMTS:3 which I though was unusual (my signal indicator is always H and never 3G).

I was using the Bell modem and conversion when running the custom Canadian ROM. I've also tried LF6. Both modems were tested on CM9 as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
I can't comment on aosp and this isn't really the place for support on that. My phone has always stated "4g" and has never switched down to 3g so I think your searching for a non existent problem because I haven't experienced any battery drain due to it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rickforet:
First of all, big thanks for this wonderful built. I tried a few roms over the last months but I really feel at home with this one. For me, it works very well. I'm really glad about it. Thank's again.

The only problem I encounter is when the lockscreen is on the slide mode. Then I got this strange thing (see image). If it's on the pattern mode, although then the screen is correct (see the second image). If somebody has a idea what the problem could be...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shabbo:
HMMMM

Well u can do is re install the rom but only install electron 15 toggles with blue battery one. dont install anything else. it should work fine. i had the same problem too when i first install coz i was trying to install i think bigfau 4 way boot zip file and get this same image . with electron u will get 4 way boot too. try to see from toggles go to reboot icon and press it. u will see new window with 4 option. . just reflash the rom and let it reboot first time and then go manually into CWM and install only electron 15 toggles.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rickforet:
I've install the "Bigfau 4 way... " too. So you must be right about it. It must be the cause of the screw lockscreen.

But the problem is I don't want the 15 toggles.

I would have like to find another solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Working on an update with some Jelly Bean goodies, you wont believe it's not butter ;)

Just tested both hosts that I'm using and both worked first try.

Don't use Bigfau's 4-way Power Menu, use the one I posted in the OP, I made it specific for us. It will be included in future updates too so hang tight.

So I've rebooted in recovery and install the 4-way reboot for this ROM... And it works perfectly now. Thank you very much ! :)

Thank's also for giving your help to the ones that use your ROM. I was on other threads before and some developers get really nervous (of not wicked) about helping guys that were stuck with any problems with there ROM.

It's good to see that there still developers that understand the real meaning of that of forum. Really' I appreciate.

(2) I was not told about this awesome rom until I found it tucked away under a bunch of XDA newspapers above your post..(hence the lack of bumps because all of the current users are busy using, not posting)

and (3rd) ...now that I found this rom...(ATT free rom I might add)....my wife is going to kick my azz for flashing yet, another rom !!

I can't imagine I'm the only one who's had a problem with Swype.

I installed the newest release of this Rom and ran the Rogers conversion. After trying Swype, it complains of an invalid license and will run with limited functionality. I installed Swype beta and that is working perfectly. But I'm unsure of why the original is complaining. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
Probably something to do with the rogers conversion. Even on the Telus base swype hasn't been working ideally for me either though, throwing spaces between every letter I type sometimes. Might be something I get around to looking at but the beta is better if you're into swype anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Not exactly sure but I think I might know what the issue is. Swype has always needed a license. And back in the windows mobile days you had to either hack the application or change the phone info so swype would be licensed to run. Since this ROM is from telus it is probably looking at the Rogers build prop from the conversion and throwing you your error.

Maybe by replacing yours with the swype.apk and/or libswypecore.so from the Rogers ROM, it will fix your issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
This is more than likely the issue, strange no one else has brought it up however. Anyone else running the bell or rogers conversion test out swype and report back please.
