First I would suggest you get another app ...Titanium Back up ..pro version. It will back up all your apps to make the restore easy. You can also restore apps from the play store. Either will work...but I have limited data and not always on wifi when I restore.

Also, my personal preference for recovery is TWRP. I find it easier and much quicker. Also it has never failed me ...cwm has.

All of the roms flash basically the same. Some have g apps included and some don't. If they are not included simply flash them after the rom. The op in the thread will give instructions on recommended flash procedure. But in a nutshell ...wipe data and factory reset, cache, davilk, and system. Then flash the rom then g apps if needed. Let it boot up and sit for a bit. Then reinstall your apps.

As far as best rom, every phone acts differently depending on user settings. I strongly suggest an ics rom due to stability until you get the hang of all this. My personal choice on ics rom is Gubment Cheeze. I have used it almost the entire time I've had my Note.

Modems flash just like a rom ...go to recovery and select it to flash. Should probably wipe cache and dalvik with installing it. I've had good luck with the one packaged inn Cheeze.

Also, if you have any trouble, users are always welcome in the teams palringo room. Just type in "thefamilyroom" without the quotes and join.

Hope this gets you started. Happy flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Also... instead of "real phone"

The phrase you were looking for is "stock Rom"

Having a custom Rom doesn't make the phone fake.

In fact, the stock Rom is a custom Rom built by Samsung, that Rom's customisation is called touch wiz. Which has been very changed from the stock Google Android, aka "aosp" (android open source project)

If you want a Rom that has all the s-pen features that are built into stock, look for a Rom that is touch wiz based as opposed to aosp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
I was doing some research. And found out that our device uses xhdpi resources (images) and if it can't find it it looks for it in drawables. Is this true?

Just wondering what if I put all the images used into the drawables. To help save space on a ROM. At least for system apks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Xhdpi is a "drawable" ... for 320 dpi

Other drawable folders containing images are for different dpis

Just having one folder with the images Sounds like a good idea until you start doing the image redirects in the xmls...

Simply moving them into one folder will most assuredly break the apk.

also where the image is called from depends on aosp or touch wiz based. As touch wiz has an entire separate framework apk... and redundancies out the wazzoo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
It could be a good idea. Especially if you could resize partitions. Give more space to internal storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
That is a lot, a lot , a lot of work...for not that much more storage gained overall... an entire odexed stock firmware is under a gig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
PIE anyone?

Well, here I am back in the stupid question thread! :silly:

I just learned about PIE. Stayed away from settings cause I had no idea what it did! Then curiosity got me.....google,google,google. So I am on the Collectives AoCP 5.6. The latest version, Apr. 9th- pretty cool rom. I found out PIE could be a very useful screen tool. I was able to access the set up controls, ie, colors, size, orientation, etc in personalization. I get it to pop out with the 1st row filled in, a blank second row, and then nice info about the phone. I can't figure out how the heck to add apps to that 2nd row.

I have googled, came up with LMT-pie for rooted phones- independent install, and setting swipe up motion, then that will open pie controls.

Doesn't seem to work on PIE that is configured within the custom rom. It has to be staring me right in the face but I can't see it.

Anyone have a clue to share with me? :o

Thanks! :D And since it's 3:30 am here I will check back later!!! Good nite!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Ok. I'm lost. Are you trying to use the LMT to access PIE?

LMT is completely septate from pie. I've tried LMT and it was pretty simple to set up after getting it to show on the screen. Second row set up and all.

As far as PIE ...I'VE not used it at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
lol....sorry to mislead. It was 3 in the morning! No, I read up on what pie was, that lead to LMT, and I learned what PIE was all about and how to get that working....If I were to install the LMT one. Which I didn't.

Just a comparison to what I do have- Pie baked into the rom- collectives AoCP 5.6. Not Associated with LMT at all. (I was just trying to learn about what pie was). I set all the visual settings thru the personalization settings under settings>personalize in the rom, but can't find out how to set the second outer ring with optional apps.

I can get it to display- very lovely, but empty in the 2nd outer ring. I want to add more apps. Can't figure out how to access those settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Ok. Understood. I can't be much help due to the fact I've never used the pie. I have seen that people said that lmt was easier to set up though. I'm sure someone will come in on pie for you.

Sent from my Big Ass Outlaw Phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Thanks anyway! But just found out PIE is now available in the play store as an installable app. Works great on my Galaxy nexus and I may just put that one on!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
It's just like adding apps to the first row, just keep scrolling down until you see the second row options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Thanks little red dot, but I couldn't get that display to come up. But I have since moved to a different rom, so point is mute. :o

Help!!! kinda stuck on what to do next galaxy note 17i7

Hello to all...I'm currently stuck on what to do next and confused after all my googling for tips. I was running paranoidkangs JB rom and decided i wanted to flash to the deoxed/debloated official jb rom from padawan. I flashed it as usual doing my normal wipes using twrp and after everything was done the phone rebooted as usual but its now stuck on the white screen with the at&t logo. So i later that day i decided to get the official stock jb rom from sammobile and flash it thru odin and again i'm stuck at the white screen after a successful flash. So i'm kinda stuck on what to do next. Any and all help would be appreciated thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] boyboy1222222222222222:
the first time you load it takes a while to load, i was at the at&t logo for a while the first time too. just let it sit and load out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ccowan02:
Well i let it sit for about 45min is that normal cause it was quite hot at that point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Should boot then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ccowan02:
I cant when i power on the phone and let it boot it hangs on the white att screen..when i boot in recovery i only get the odin screen thats the only option i can do with the phone at the moment. Is there something else i may be doing wrong? I mean i know to boot to recovery is holding the power/volume down button while turning it on but when the phone comes on it just says odin mode and the lil green android guy with downloading under it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Power ... Volume up and down ... release power once it vibrates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ccowan02:
Thanx again will try..sorry if that was too noobish my first time rockin a samsung device coming from htc devices which are super easy to root/flash.

No prob ... I are spoiled .. I always use to the option in the power menu .. had an issue the other night and had to ask myself. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ccowan02:
Thx again bro i did exactly what you said and bingo worked like a charm.."slaps myself upside the head"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Glad I was right .. I knew that either would get you recovery or wipe the internal and external cards .. luck waz on your side .. lol :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] azizLIGHT:
I'm on SGH-i717M (Bell Canada) on ICS and rooted and have CWM 5.5.5. If I update to JB with Kies, will this remove my root? Will the update also remove CWM? What about my apps and data?

Also, how do I go bout updating CWM 5.5.5? As far as I can tell, I need a ODIN flashable tar of the newest CWM 6.0.3.1 but clockworkmod's site only gives an img file. How do I use this to update CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
If you update through Kies, it will be a stock JB build....That includes the stock recovery and loss of user apps as if you did a factory reset. It shouldn't touch your internal or external storage. Your best bet is to use the flashable zip posted by nunhugger...it's stock rooted.

You can update cwm to the latest with ROM Manager from the market. You can also make or grab a flashable zip to upgrade through recovery or use adb to push the recovery.img. I recommend giving twrp a shot. That can be installed through recovery, adb, Odin or with goo manager from the market...good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] azizLIGHT:
I looked at nunhugger flashable zip and the stock odin rom by hyelton and stock rooted rom by ptmr3 but they seem to be for ATT i717 and have ATT stuff on it (maybe ATT modem also??). Is it a good idea to flash this ATT stock rom on my Bell i717m ? I am seeing some complaints about lower battery life and other problems and afraid it might do something to my already fragile signal levels!! The next best thing i saw was canadian JB rom by sam.jh, but it is for Telus and with Telus software, but again I'm afraid it will mess up my signal level because its meant for a different carrier

So I am thinking it is best for me to upgrade to stock Bell JB rom from Kies because it is meant for my device. If I do this, how do I get cwm back on there with ROM Manager or twrp with goo manager if I dont have root anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
ok, so I am back at the stupid place again. not saying other are stupid, just me. going to start having my mail sent here.

sooooooo, I have all the new update, twrp and root....no sweat.

but I got an itch and I need to scratch it. patiently waiting for official customs and I know it takes time. ( stomping one foot and dancing like I gotta pee real bad.)

again am updated. if I flash an unofficial JB, will my modem go back to UCFL6 ? and what about coming back to official when they arrive? will I have to re update official MD3 ???

OR

would I be able to flash unofficial JB, then flash MD3 modem to it?

there seems to be a newer ROM out there (Slim I think) lists downloads in OP and the MD3 modem is one of them. would there be no modem in ROM or is the MD3 modem an option to work with ROM

ex: like I suggest above.... comes with older modem, but can update with new?

maybe the last option would be for ROM developer in his ROM thread? again this may be pretty stupid, so I am here first

phone stuck in first boot logo

gnotei717. downloaded jb, then rooted phone. i backed up everything with TiBu and made a nandroid backup with ROM manager (CWM).

im trying to get blackstar rom on my phone to replace the stock. while in recovery mode, i wipe all data, cache, dalvik cache, system, etc. (is there a special order for this?)

\ i find the BLACKSTAR zip file on sd card. try to install. ill get it to go until the reboot screen. it gets stuck and just keeps flashing "BLACKSTAR". i know the first boot will take a while, but redone the entire process 4 times and each time, it gets stuck. i wait 15-30 minutes each time, and i figure that its not going anywhere, so i do a battery pull, wipe everything, then try again.

for now i have just given up, and have recovered my nandroid backup to the stock rom. any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
First I would suggest TWRP as the custom recovery. I find I have much better luck with it. Then I would make a nandroid with it. As far as the Blackstar rom ... I would re download it. Did you dl it to your phone or pc? I always dl to pc then transfer to the phone.

As for wiping... I always do separate wipes but if you watch when doing factory reset, it actually wipes everything but system. Definitely wipe system after data/factory.

You didn't mention re downloading the Rom.

Did you try that as well or are you still Just flashing the same zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dblx327:
Iv just been downloading the same zip. I figured if I re downloaded it, it'd going to be the same file. Unless I should download it from another website? Any suggestion as to what website I should download the Blackstar rom?

Is there a way you can change a rom's device for example changing something in a Samsung galaxy s3 rom to make it be able to flash on another device like quincyatt ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
If you're trying to flash a rom intended for a differe phone, you're just asking for trouble.

On the other hand, if you're talking about installing apps intended for a different phone, that's another story, and in this case, search for build.prop tweaks.

He probably meant the n7000..

Obviously, international non carrier locked phones will have more support than a carrier locked north American variant...

It's a numbers game bro... more people own those devices.

How about instead of saying "why don't I have this to choose from...you ask how can I make this available to me...and therefore everyone with the device as well?"

I see no signs of water damage? Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Welcome ... Sounds like a stuck power button. It is a common issue. Could be some dirt and lint between the outside button and inner button. Try flicking the button with your finger a few time.. or the back side of the phone beside the button .. see if that gets it booted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Well I am running an att note on tmobile and the blaze modem or the new combo modem (forget what its called) has some 7005 korean stuff with tmobile modem work great on any ics rom or GB. The new JB roms need the newer att modems which pick up tmobile's 4g if you are in a refarmed area. I can't seem to find a tmobile worked modem for the newer custom roms. Where do you live? refarmed area? If you search for modems you should find the threads that has all the downloads for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gabev94:
Umm I don't really know aout the refarmed thing im kinda new to this but I live in California and i don't think my phone is sim unlocked either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
You might want to do a little research. If you have an aTT Note and it is not sim unlocked, you can't run it on tmobile- period. Refarmed areas are where tmobile have made changes to their towers allowing the 1900 frequency to use 3g- like att phones on tmobile can now get 3g in those newly adjusted towers- the refarmed areas are where these changes have been made. Use to be even unlocked att phones would only get 2g on tmobile. Now in the new areas of tmobile's refarmed towers they get 3g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gabev94:
I do live in a refarmed area and if it is sim unlocked shouldn't I get some signal? And I thought it was possible to run the note on a stock rom with tmobile radios without it being sim unlocked? Do you have download links for what you're running your phone on? I just wanna get my phone back connected to tmobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
If it is sim UNlocked and you have a compatible modem you should get a signal. As far as modems go, it is trial and error as to what will work best for your area and the rom you are running. If it is sim LOCKed, you can't run an att phone on another carrier. Even if the rom is stock. Unless it is an att mvno. Then sometimes you can. Like straight talk or airvoice. But not t-mo.

Research the threads and also the tmobile note area. Its a little hard to find. Here's a link to that forum.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1742

If you are on a stock rom and you are sim unlocked look for a modem called Blaze or UVLG3modem for i717_gt-n7005amss. Both of these modems worked great for me. But I am on the east cost in North Jersey, so ymmv. Good luck.

Forgot to add even with the correct modem you also need the correct APN settings for your carrier. That's just basic. Good luck.

Was testing other modems and found the Blaze ics modem works for padJB2 rom. It just does not show signal bars. They are blank, but I get calls fine, and data speeds are >8mbps down, and >1 up. Consistenty. The signal is -95dBm under phone status. Acceptable.

Vanilla android?

I have looked in this thread but could not find the answer for this. I feel so silly for asking this but how exactly does 4.2.2 work? I've been trying to see exactly how to get a copy of it from Google directly. I've been wiping and installing roms and trying to find a daily driver but they all seem to either reboot my phone or make it slow or have the echo or some other problem. I think its something to do with cyanogen as all roms give me issues. (I am not trying to offend or downplay anyone's work, I greatly appreciate this forum and the developers!)

The only one that seems to work is 4.1.2 stock odin, but I want 4.2.2 because of the way it looks. I know, but I really like the camera, quick settings, and call log in the newest android. I tried to learn if I can just get a copy and install plain vanilla android on my phone. I quickly found out android is only released to device manufacturers!

So my question is: can I get a plain copy of 4.2.2 without any mods that will work on the phone? Can I use stock nexus roms on my phone? ( I know its different cpu's but its stock right? Shouldn't it work everywhere? I hope I'm making sense!) I know samsung has a s4 that comes with vanilla android on it, can I install a rom based off that on my phone?

I know this is a long post but any help is greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to figure out how this whole android system works, and how it seems as if all the roms are based on cyanogen! Why not use google's code directly (aosp right?)
