That method would be my choice. Don't lose sleep over the count. Its no big deal. If you really need to there is a thread to reset it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garmcin:
I am not sure if it is all Canadian stock ROMs or just Bell, but you have to pull the battery during the reboot in order to hold root. Otherwise the ICS upgrade runs a script to screw you over. Took me a couple of hours to figure it out, found that there was a thread with the info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
sam.jh's thread is not the place to discuss rooting your stock ROM. Please take this to another thread. Preferably the thread discussing rooting canadian ROMs.

ALL Canadian Notes...Installing CWM using Odin and then superuser with CWM is the safest, easiest, and the preferred choice. However if your installation of ICS was updated via OTA then yes you will have to do that extra step. If the phone was updated via Kies then you don't. That script file does not exist. If you phone was purchased with ICS then most likely the script does not exist.

If you need more clarity then follow this link. This thread is not the place to discuss rooting. Please take further converstaion here:

This is my new baby bear - it is JUST RIGHT for me! I am on AT&T in Denver, CO. I happen to like the TouchWiz interface (the alphabetized scrolling app list, digital clock widget, Accuweather widget etc) Transparent Accuweather widget works and looks great. Put in my APN and works great. Didn't change modem 'cause I've already got AT&T modem.

Thank you for doing this!

email problem

I'm having problem setting up email for aol.com and me.com - says "Incorrect user name or password" when I know it is correct - and gmail account set up fine.

Is there something about the canadian email app that I'm going to have to manually set up some accounts using IMAP settings?

EDIT: To answer my own question - yes, I had to go in and manually set up the IMAP settings for AOL and for iCloud.

Survey sez....

I have used the gambit of roms and I keep coming back to this one. The JB roms all give me the blues (fc, random reboots and other problems) but this one has stayed true and steady throughout. I wish/hope someone is going to keep working on this one because, until they get a stable and bug free version of JB, this is by far the best one going!

Thanks for all the hard work!

:victory:This rom is the best! Comes with everything you need and battery life is great. I overclocked with cpu master free.INSATLL: I flashed rom and didn`t have to flash any antennas or anything. My phone is from rogers but was using it on telus network. Excellent i love u:D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
If he doesn't, be sure to check out the padawan rom. Very good choice. I personally use v1 of this rom but dance between the 2. This is still my fav bc of bell mobile tv
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JohnnyQ1964:
I've been on this ROM and going back to the original stock Bell to compare... I love the fact that this give me root but I still find that the stock Bell ROM gives better battery life.

What I'm hoping for is rooted stock Bell ROM (ported from the Note 2) with no other changes. I know that there are hardware differences but I'm looking for all the nifty toys that the Note 2 has.

I'm going over to padawn to check it out today.

Any updates on this rom to JB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
This is a stock ICS ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nbog:
I like it

I have been on this ROM for about 2 months. I had T-Mo ROM flashed over i717R before when I was on Mobilicity. Now, on Koodo.

The only problem I have (and it's a common issue) is that after every reboot or air-plane mode on/off I have to setup my Koodo APN. Telus has a script that overwrites the APN. A bit annoying but takes me 1 minute to do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BiscuitBee:
Checkout APN Backup on the play store. That should help restoring your settings faster!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nbog:
Nope, from ICS on, no app can write those settings, even when I tried converting it to a system app. I tried APN Backup and several other apps, no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dubsteps:
I used to use this ROM and used APN Backup and Restore successfully for Koodo.

So you've installed the app, and changed it to a system app.

Now download another app called Macro Droid.

Have Macro Droid start on startup, create your Koodo APN. Back it up with APN Backup & Restore.

-

Now when you normally boot up your phone, MacroDroid will load APN Backup & Restore. Choose to Delete your current APNs, then choose to Restore your backup.

It's a lot less work than creating from scratch on each bootup.

Haven't used this rom in a long time. It worked great for me and I'm on telus so all was good (I tend to get agravated when boot and splash screens are for a different carrier and load stock Samsung). I have found the jellybean version to be very laggy. Blackjelly is good though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dkelley:
Used it tonight for several hours, phone, google nav, still camera, video camera, photo editing, gmail, xda app, google play, Lotta of app and game install, titanium restore. ..

Great battery life so far and super stable and quick. From my initial tests I'm getting outstanding signal strength and connection speed than I'm accustomed to with other roms.

Maybe this lf4 modem is better suited to the Telus network than newer modems. I recall other older phones being like that too where Telus hadn't upgraded towers to work as well with the latest HTC radios so an older radio worked better. Radio == Modem... Just different term from different company.

Anyhow.... This is my new daily driver.

Love it. Wish it had the extended reboot menu though. I'll have to look at OP again to see if there is an addon there for it.

Very happy here.... Thank you.

First A BIG THANK YOU for creating a canadian custom rom!

Now for the important question...

Can anyone confirm if they can get bell mobiletv to work with this?

So I just flashed this Rom and Bell Specific Modem and still no go on Bell mobile tv. It tells me that its "coming soon to my device". Well I appreciate the effort on a canadian custom rom. But with everything I have played with and changed in the last few weeks/months, the only way I can see being able to use a custom rom with bell mobile tv is if it is a Bell Custom Rom built straight from the Bell i717M Rom. If anyone would be willing to do this, I would be more than happy to TEST anything.

Thank you again for creating a Canadian Custom Rom Post! Its very much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Alicklee:
How's the data on it does it randomly disconnect cause I was getting that problem with some other rom with that same radio and some rom won't even see the radio. Also if you could post a Link to which radio from T-Mobile you use because there are 3 so far I have found

I'm probably way of base here, as I am not a dev, but for those of you trying to get the bell mobile TV app going, I am wondering if you are changing your build props to reflect the "M " designation that our phones use on the bell network.

I don't believe simply flashing the bell modem does this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnnywhojr:
You are 100% correct. I too am not a dev but have tried many different custom roms and swapped to bells modem. and still no luck. I have not tried editing the build.prop. Maybe I fiddle with this as I have a july 29 nandroid backup created and this will allow me to play with the build.prop. Or if there are any other suggestions, I'm ALL EARS as the saying goes.

Well, I just edited the Build.prop using this Rom and Bell Modem. Funny how you learn something everyday...As My bell mobile tv is now working. I wonder if this editing would work for other custom Roms?!? Another question is when editing the Build.prop do I change everything to"M"???

I'll look into the bell mobile tv issue sometime today guys, like someone said more than likely you just need to change your build.prop to reflect that of a sgh-i717m, ill extract the build.prop from the bell lf4 and see if I can make a cwm flashable out of it for you guys.

I'm not on Bell, who's got some decent know how to replace their build.prob with the bell one I give them and set permissions to test?

You don't need to use that just to edit your build.prop, the ES File Explorer I included in the rom will do just that if you go into it's settings and give it root rights. Then you can find your build.prop in system

I have extracted the build.prop from Bell's LF4, tested on my phone and it worked even though I'm not on Bell. So this should get you Bell folks up and running as you will now be an SGH-I717M running Bells MUGLF4. Bell apps should work now, check out the OP for Bell/Rogers conversion.

While I have no interest in the bell mobility app myself, I am glad that the build prop suggestion worked as I know many fellow bell subscribers wanted this...

Thanks again for starting this thread as I'm sure there are many other Canadian centric issues we can resolve here...

I, myself am loving flapjaxxx's rom too much to tear myself away, but I'm sure curiosity will soon get the better of me.:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
I too was in love with flappjaxxx's rom but Canadian version of ICS is so much cleaner then LF6, if you try it you will love it.

phone app is a little diferent, I like it much more.

contacts has no ATT crapware and has the standard header with your name at the top like in aosp contacts

messaging app is inverted with a better icon imo

the system ui's status bar is also much cleaner imo, nicer 4g icon etc.

Might just be me imagining things but I've noticed better data speeds, battery life, gps locks on the Canadian side of things too

One thing Canadian release is missing is a 4-way power menu but i'll be adding an alternative in the next release.

I might consider seeing how a conversion zip would go with LF6 in the future but for now I'm liking this.

the better signal strength should increase battery life.

This isn't very close to stock if I was you i'd search through some different threads and actually get back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xiLLeNtz:
oh. i thought it was, to my understanding: the stock ics build with carrier conversion less bloatware. i dont really need the phone stock. i just need it to look stock. since i cant properly connect my phone to the computer due to poor connection, it is pretty impossible for me to go back to actual stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
It does "look" stock yes.

If that's the route you want to take, at least use the flash counter reset floating around and flash a stock recovery through cwm after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xiLLeNtz:
stock recovery? ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mimmus:
Hi all, just want to share my experiences.

I'm living in Italy, I'm a developer and for some reason I bought the AT&T note (mainly because international/European version has no NFC).

I was happy with GB but since first leak of ICS I had very poor battery life and it was harder to arrive to the end of day.

Since than I tried everything, including using the stock ICS just as is after reset (no customization or any personal apk installed), just the plain gmail account configured. Also in this case after 12h of normal/light usage battery was almost exhaust.

So I passed a lot of time flashing everything ... the only one having decent battery life was an aosp with very poor spen "support". I was thinking that I must deftly consider to go back to GB until I didn't tried this rom.

I had initially big problem with the rom ... the note was very slow (takes me 30 min to just complete initial Google sign-in) but after I flashed the last AT&T modem it recovered to normal speed.

Now I'm writing after 14h since unplugged, 1h 9m of screen time, 20m of voice calls and my battery is still 60% and finally I have decent battery life.

I read many problems with power drain that seems like the one I experienced ... don't know, but maybe someone want to try this rom.

Thank you for all your work, you saved me from paranoid flashing syndrome !

I'm currently running CM9 RC2 on my TELUS Note with the AT&T UCLF6 radio. If I want to try the TLLF6 radio instead, do I need to download a new RIL, or extract it from the Canadian ICS ROM? I'm not really interested in going back to the stock TouchWiz experience right now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RikersBeard:
Legend. Thank you both for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Yes, you talk about the TouchWiz-based stock ICS ROM from Samsung, but I'm just interested in the TELUS-specific modem firmware. You have that available as a separate download, but it only includes the .bin firmware image files. I'm assuming the RIL in the stock ICS ROM is therefore matched with the Canadian radio firmware. I'm running CM9 instead, which may or may not have a different RIL. Right now, I am using CM9 with the UCLF6 firmware (taken from an AT&T Note). If I want to change the firmware to TTLF6, I may need the matching RIL to go with it. I am not sure if I do, which is why I'm asking. :) I suspect that the baseband between TELUS and AT&T is sufficiently similar that I don't need a different RIL. But since having the correct RIL for your radio hardware can result in better signal, better power management, better stability, etc., it is worth investigating.
