Hello Sashusmom,

Your post has been so helpful, thank you for taking the time and going further into details that I had no idea about.

Here's a quick summary of my results after 2 days of intensive testing:

-I tried around 15 modems for the i717 including the blaze, absolutely NONE worked for me, I would either get zero signal or I would get a signal with constant disconnections to my carrier (calls being dropped every few seconds).

-However only 1 modem worked, and it worked so well I was actually blown away; it was the "i717-GB-Modem.zip" (im guessing the gingerbread ATT modem?) 4G is still currently still under testing and available to limited devices in my country so I was only able to test the reception quality and signal strength on HSPA+ and 3G.

I am so in love with my device now, battery drain is much better than 4.2.2, there's are rarely any hangs and the device is mostly very smooth with no random reboots at all.

Now I am trying to get multi window to work, I flashed the framework right after I flashed the rom, and managed to install - Xposed_MultiWindow_Apps_Manager.apk after flash and I717MD3MultiWindowModV1.zip right after flashing and before rebooting - only.

Installing "latest.apk" in order to get access to the multi window interface doesnt work, it says that it detected another version with the same signature and it cannot install. The only way multi window temporarily works is when I go to settings > screen > disable then enable multi window. I can see the sidebar but it disappears after a while.

If anyone got the multi window framework to work smoothly, I would appreciate a step by step guide on how you managed to do it.

Cheers to everyone guys!

glad you got it going.

the multi window is going to the department headed by a gentleman by the name of INSPIRED. the multi window is pretty new to our device. oddly enough though it derived for our device from your forum from the international version of this device. not sure how this will mesh and again not sure how your location will affect the use of these files. but INSPIRED would have more knowledge.

good luck

Man awesome ROM. Loving the fact of how smooth it is! :)

Whats sup padawan thread ! :D

ok lets figure this thing out so we can get you up and fully running. So let me understand correctly, you flashed the rom, modem, and multiwindowmod all at once in TWRP (or CWM if thats what you use)? Can I ask when did you download the multiwindow zip? At one point there was 2 md3 zips, one that installs to the /system folder and one that installs to the preload partition. As it stands now there is only one zip in the multiwindow thread for md3, but if you were one of the first to download it, you may have the wrong one. In any case, could you do a full wipe, and reflash all the zips at once in this order: Padawan v4, modem, multiwindowmod. after padawan takes you through aroma and asks you to reboot now, you would select no so that the recovery can flash the rest of the zips ...once your up and running, go straight to the Floating MW Control app that the mod installs, and go to navigation bar, and select "hide". Once you do that it will ask you to select either "stock" or "floating"...choose stock. It should reboot I believe, if not reboot manually, then try holding the back button once your back up and running. And post your results back here :good:

If that works then we will go ahead and help you with getting all apps to work with multiwindow, because some people have trouble with that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] elFahd:
Hello INSPIREed!

Thats exactly what I did, flashed ROM, when it asks for reboot I pressed no, then TWRP flashed the framework. I downloaded the framework a couple of days ago, there was only 1 md3 zip so I think it was the correct one. The modem had been flashed after since I was still tinkering with which works for my carrier. I then added the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to my build.prop and rebooted. After that i went to MW control app and selected hide and selected stock (had to read their entire thread to get this one right) and also rebooted.

I didnt know about having to long press the back button for the sidebar to appear (thanks a lot of the tip, havent came across this one anywhere!)

here's a screenshot of what my home screen and status screen looks like.

As you can see in the status bar, there buttons on the top right are overlapping with the edge of the screen, is that normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Hey elFahd! glad its going for you(btw you propic is the s.h.i.t.) Those buttons overlapping are normal at 320 dpi (stock dpi) What those buttons are, are the layout switcher buttons that allow you to run up to 3 or 4 apps at once. In order to see them you have to drop down to 240 DPI. HOWEVER, if you do so, if you use touchwiz launcher and touchwiz apps(phone, dialer) they will be stretched funny at 240 dpi unless you A.) Use a custom modded touchwiz launcher/apps like I do, or B.) use an alternate launcher, or C.) use xposed app settings to change the launcher and touchwiz specific apps to run at 320 dpi while the rest of your phone runs at 240. Also you would have to set "com.sec.android.app.flashbarservice." to 320 dpi as well in xposed settings. (that is the multiwindow sidebar, it wont stretch correctly at 240 dpi). The 3 and 4 app layout functions can be tricky to use , so I advise to not even worry about them. I will post screenshots though of anything you may need/want to know. Sorry for the lengthy post and large screenshots guys lols. elFahd feel free to PM whenever you like bro.

Ok I'm all caught up from where I left off. One thing I can say about is in this thread is that NONE of us have a care in the world when it comes to character counts in a post. Well done well done indeed.

I'm completely impressed by the fact that I'd another member decides to forego warnings about flashing a rom that's not for his phone, you guys are all for it and pitch in full bore. I think that's awesome.

I saw it mentioned that someone else was wondering why he would do it. Nothing is as awesome about having a phone that runs software it isn't supposed to lol.

I find xhalo far more useful than multiwindow.

I disabled the multiwindow in my note 2 to get xhalo working.

It's an xposed module, I suggest giving it a try

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Coming from the master of long quotes, I feel justified.

Indeed quite a useful module. I use it on non touchwiz based roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] elFahd:
Thanks so much for your post, I am using Apex launcher as recommended in the MW original thread, 2 multiwindow frames are enough for me (whatsapp usually and something else) when I start getting bored I will start tinkering with the dpi's hehe, by the way, the dragon ball saga is my only and all time favorite manga, I never get too old for it, heck I even asked my sister to buy me these when she went to Tokyo (not to mention all the books and magazines that I still have from when I was 14 yo :p)

View attachment 2381432

This usually is never a good idea, and I wouldnt have done it if I was new to flashing.

My first flash was an imate JAMin back in 2006, I paid 700$ for that device and started flashing windows mobile 6 updates right away, you cant imagine the sleepless nights I spent flashing and having problems with the device not booting or going into bootloops thinking I had bricked the device. My favorite was the HTC HD2 where I used to run winmo 6 and android in dual boot. I came to a point where I felt so comfortable with flashing that I feel that I can practically tinker with a lot of things now.

The halo was incorporated to the new cyanogen roms that I used to use on my older note a few months back, it allowed only 1 notification at a time and when u click it you would get a pop up of that app. I didnt like it, it might have gotten a big update now though so I will look into it further.

Cheers guys!

I have an awful problem with my GPS.

I just can't get a fix and it's driving me nuts.

Does the modern somehow effect GPS?

I'm not sure what else to try to fix this. It may be time to replace this device.

Anyone have any ideas?

Xhalo works quite well with floating notifications. It's not halo exactly but it's quite nice.

I just flashed this rom and got the multiwindows working. I just have a couple questions. How do I get the 23 toggles mod working and where is the status bar settings? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Also, what do I need to change the dpi of to get the phone dialer to the proper size?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
In the OP of the multiwindow thread install the xposed framework and the app settings module. Use the app settings module to change the Contacts app to 320 DPI and your dialer will be restored to full size.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lordbond:
Thank you. In the Padawan rom the per app DPI settings is in the Jedi Settings app. I didn't have to install those 2 modules. Changed the DPI of Contacts and now all is well. I tried the phone and dialer storage apps and those didn't change anything. That's why I asked because I didn't know what controlled that.

Thanks!

Is 23 toggles working for anyone else? I can't seem to get mine working. It is part of the Jedi Settings app. Do I need to install something else to get it to work? I also can't find anyplace to set options on the status bar. Is that some thing else that was removed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
The 23 Toggles is probably not working because you overwrote those files with the multiwindow files.

are you saying they stopped working, or that they didn't get themed? I'm presuming they didn't theme.

Just flashed the rom for the first time and it is truly awesome. The only issue I seem to have is the menu hard key from the home screen doesn't work and I can't bring up my recent menu. Any ideas? I was hoping not to have to read thru all 571 pages so forgive me if this subject has been brought up before. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
I flashed it a cpl of days ago and I can assure you it is not the ROM. The menu key should bring up a menu with one tap, try switching to Apex launcher or Nova and see how it goes. About the recent apps menu, you should hold down the home key for it to display.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcscorpio76:
Yeah, not sure what the issue is. I love my stock launcher so I don't even have apex or nova installed. Maybe go thru aroma again but my home, back, and search keys work fine. The menu key is borked and the home won't bring up recent but Will return home from within an app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
That's odd. But like I mentioned, just experiment with Apex and Nova to see if the buttons work. You don't have to switch to them, but at least you can identify the problem, otherwise you can debug your phone in adb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dawsndev:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:

would you be interested in deleting the data in those from applications manager in settings and seeing if the works?

Hi guys!

I added a new toy to my collection. A Note 8 wifi tablet! It won over the Nexus 7lte- and I got the Staples deal that took an extra $50 off over the weekend. It ended up being $40 cheaper than the Nexus 7 lte tab. That's a nice one too, but i really liked that extra inch of screen. So tthat one goes back to best buy.

Really surprised that hacking this one was so different form the Note i717. I just relearned Odin and am getting comfortable with it. Now on stock (sort of) 4.2.2 which is all she goes right now. custom recovery, rooted. Having fun! :laugh: I gave my orig nexus 7 to my daughter and she loves it.

I betcha my Note and Note 8 will play really nice together!!!! Happy Anniversary, Happy sold my Gnex, Happy roulette wheel at the Sands PA to me!! I have found ways to pay for my new toys without spending too much new $. I'm very creative!:p

Hope you guys are doing well with the holidays starting up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Well hi there :) I'm kinda jealous of your new toy :silly:

Im sure the 8 is a freaking awesome tab. My friend has one but I haven't had the opportunity to tinker and play with it yet. How long is that Staples deal? and is it only subject to certain stores? I may have to look into it that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sqb:

Is it possible just to flash the kernel and not the whole ROM?

When I unzip the ROM, there is boot.img. Is there a way to build another CWM just to flash this boot.img?

I just want to upgrade to an OC kernel for my stock JB firmware.

I already tried heimdall (heimdall flash --boot boot.img, gets error msg "boot is not a valid argument"). I also looked up Android Kitchen, but it only builds CWM flashable whole ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sqb:
There's phaze kernel from Ptmr3 which is the kernel used in padawan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slim_thumb:
Yes I know there is also Phase kernel, but it was last updated in May 2013.

When I installed Phase kernel from THIS THREAD, the kernel version is: 3.0.77-g8cc7e36-dirty ptmr@ptmr3-Inspiron-N5110#1 Wed May 8, 2013.

The above version of Phase kernel has CPU overclock but NO GPU overclock.

I downloaded the latest Padawan ROM, unzipped to extract the boot.img, and grafted it into the above Phase kernel CWM flashable file (by replacing the boot.img file). I succesfully flashed this hybrid CWM version into my phone, and it ran (except wifi did not work).

This kernel from Padawan ROM has the following kernel version: 3.0.31 phasekernel 2+ Wed Oct 9 2013. This kernel has both CPU and GPU overclock (GPU up to 320 MHz).

Therefore they are different versions, and the Padawan version appears to be more recent.

If I can figure out a way to build the boot.img of the Padawan ROM into a CWM flashable file (kernel alone without the rest of the ROM), that would be great.

Yes I know there is a good chance that the Padawan kernel is built for the Padawan ROM only, and wifi may not work on other ROMs, but it doesn't hurt to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sqb:
I wish I could help you with packaging that. This kernel does get the best of my phone. If you pm Ptmr3 he might have a packaged one ready to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sqb:
Mine locked alright but it did take awhile (maybe a minute) I never use it so I'm not sure how fast it's supposed to lock in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GT247:
A better question (in my opinion)

Why flash a rom without reading the thread?

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

ptmr3 has already addressed others about posting in his threads about ripping his kernels from his roms. I believe the last time he asked someone to not post about it, they became argumentative and disrespectful about it and ptmr3 locked the thread.

There's no rule that says you can't do it, but this thread isn't for that purpose.

A lot of things get posted in this thread that aren't related to this rom, but those many other things don't conflict with the direct wishes of ptmr3.

If you're set on having the kernel the best thing to do is simply ask. You might wait a day or so for an answer, but that's the right thing to do.

If you're not willing to ask and wait, please take the discussion of ripping the kernel out elsewhere.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Also..

there's "phase kernel" which is for the singapore based ics rom....and there's "phaze kernel" for this 4.1.2 jb based rom.... don't just read a build date, read the op of any thread you might be installing something from please.
