Im really thinking its the battery. I have had the battery for 5-7 months, but i have charged the battery alot! how many charges would a regular battery hold? and i just download the app. the Gsam? it says everything is fine. but the screen is using like 77 percent.but the brightness is around 40 percent. because i like the vivid colors. i ordered another battery for the phone. but the 77 percent. could that be because the battery is weak because of all those charges, or is it really taking 77 percent of my battery? again, I'm thinking a brand new battery would fix the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
77 percent screen time sounds about right for heavy use with screen on, the monster screen is definitely the primary user of power. I avg about 4 hours of screen on time. With the screen off the phone will last a couple days at least, granted its useless with the screen off lol. If you really need that much screen use and insist on high brightness you need an extended battery/spare battery, or perhaps look at a different phone.

that makes sense, because on demand never game me any reboots - i love the conservative though, i used it before and battery life was the ****!

I cant nevrr get a jb rom to work. The screen flickers or freezes. I always fall back on flappjaxx roms..super stable... this rom would be sweet it just freezes. Great work though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
I've been using this for a month and it's the one of the best ROM's out there, there's no flicker or freezes at all. You must be doing something wrong out your phone must be one of those that was built on a Friday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
Definitely built on a day ending in Y. Those are the ones with the most issues...

I flashed this ROM yesterday as I was having some weird Phone FC issues with KingKang. So far so good. Just need to find a NFC apk that will allow Polling with Screen Off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
I agree. This ROM has the honor of being installed the longest and has been the most reliable on my phone. The guy with flicker probably does not have disable hardware overlays checked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] harley1rocker:
Dam ive been flashin phones since you could flash em. No im doing everything right. Didnt ask 4 help,or an opinion. I guess i got 1 anyway huh? Did you miss the part were i said "this is a GREAT rom" and "GOOD JOB".... would you mind telling me a possible fix? Im all ears. Dont tell me to read pls. Ive been thru this whole thread. And i apologize in advance if i come off sounding like a arse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
Wow rage much? If you've been flashing phones since you could flash them you must know that there is no official JB source yet for the Snapdragon version of the Note. So every JB ROM we run is using non-source drivers and what not. Amazing it does work as "GREAT" as it does considering that. I guess I should add the SARCASM tag to my post so other people don't get so raged over a phone. Every day of the week ends in Y....

Have you checked the "Disable HW Overlays" option under Developer Options? Don't forget you need to do that everytime you restart your phone. You can use Tasker and Secure Settings automatically do that for you too.

Did you restore your apps and data from Titanium Backup or via some other means?

Do you have the issues right after flashing the ROM without installing any apps?

Did you flash dirty or clean?

_______________________________________________________

Anyways for those that like to use

NFC and be able to scan tags with the Screen Off

, I find an appropiate APK that works GREAT with this ROM. It can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31000269&postcount=138

There are no options under Settings-->Wireless & Networks -->More.. to switch the polling method though. If you want the NFC to poll like normal then restore your original apk or pull it from the ROM zip.

I did the usual to get it to work

backup existitng Nfc.apk

copy Nfc_screenoff.apk to \system\app

fix permissions

delete existing Nfc.apk

rename Nfc_screenoff.apk to Nfc.apk

Reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vividblu2020:
Besides the flickering why is that when I call someone it just says " dialing" but its ringing over to the other person. They pick up and can't hear me. So I'm sitting there like what the hell. So I go into recovery and wipe cache which one time did work for me. But I just called a friend and it rang, I just didn't hear it. Do u think u could fix this little aggravating thing that seems to happen on most of the " unofficial ROMs " people are making. Would like to call someone ya know sometimes its important
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
You seem to have alot of issues if that does happen reflash without wiping data and the in call sound problem should be gone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
So excited for the new update, can't wait :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vividblu2020:
yea idk, maybe its my luck. i just wiped date/reset. im thinking the call feature will work for a little while. we'll see what happens
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
If you are having such bad issue do a fresh install. Its pretty easy to mass install all you apps back with titbk.

Fresh Install:

-3x Master Reset

-1x Wipe Cache

-1x Wipe Dalvik

-1x Wipe System

-1x Flash Rom

-1x Flash Gapps (Recommend Truth77 Complete 4.2 Gapps)

-Reboot!

When Phone boots up:

-Launch Root App

-Sign in to Market and update all Gapps (Might have to exit it the first time and then load it again)

-Download TitBK (titanium backup), launch, and restore ID if the option pops up (will reboot the phone)

-Market > Download Busybox > Launch app > click Install

Thats it :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vividblu2020:
and the root app? so when the phone comes on. and i update all apps. i then run TBK and then which option am I running? and always have busybox? if u don't mind me asking. what exactly is busybox?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dman3285:
I have not forgot about you guys. Been getting cm 10.1 stable for the glide.. now working on merging 4.2.1 into PAC-man.. be patient with me..:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
When you launch TBK it might ask you if you want to restore the phone to the previous ID, choose yes. I always have busy box.

BusyBox:

"Busy Box is something that you install on your android to give you some additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks."

If you want to run ADB commands from your computer you will need to have the Android SDK installed

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cemian:
Does anyone experience a black screen lockup when using the camera with flash at times? I would take a shot one after another with flash then it locked up...and had to take battery out to reboot phone and kept locking up in camera...after that it would lock up every time even after a single shot...but when I turned off the flash it seemed to be more stable...is there a known issue with the flash?

Also battery drain is fast...takes me about 4 hours to drain it with light to normal use....I look in battery and media is 72%....is there a workaround to get more battery life out of this ROM?

Well, I will try reformatting my internal and external sd cards again..... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cemian:
How much do you have left in the system partition?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Your data partition is nearly full because its only 2gb. You need to uninstall some apps or move them to the sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Gotcha, so where it says "Apps" I am reaching my MAX of 2GB. Thank you, that answers my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
I've always had this error, and have lived with out for about a month now. I can not move any apps to my sd card. Error message, "this device does not have a real primary storage, or the primary storage is emulated. Moving apps to sd function may not be supported by this device."

Read the whole thread a couple times and someone talked about it but know one replied. Can anyone help, please.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
I also had no option to move the apps to external storage in the storage settings and I was dreading do them all manually. Tried un-mounting my sd card but still never gave me an option , so I decided to check out Titanium Backup and sure enough there was an option to mass move all of them at once. Worked like a charm, no more error message. :D Thanks everyone, thanks buttons activated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
Thanks, I never though to check there. So it must be App 2 sd pro
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Yeah, now the phone is running super fast with all of the same apps but with only 749MB on Apps System memory. Thank you everyone again!

So excited for the update, can't wait...keep up the great work op! :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] UnicornKaz:
Can't see the pic you'd posted ( dropbox down ? )

don't you mean the 2nd area of internal SD ??

AFAIK .... we have 2 areas ( 3 if you counted the external SD.... )

1st-->> 1.97GB ( this is where your is almost full and created the problem...etc )

2nd-->> 10.82GB ( this is the 2nd area that makes up the total of 16GB of our device...etc

( when you have managed to move apps to SD... this is where things actually goes...etc )-->> the 10.82GB area.

AFAIK... there is

NO

way to move apps to

EXTERNAL SD

.... unless you run a script to switch them

for example:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/treat-your-sd-card-as-your-real-external-storage-with-swapsd/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545292

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874485

more search results here:

http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=sd to external sd switch

others results for our i717 device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033211

so...in summary...

when you have managed to push apps to SD... you are actually moving them to the internal SD ( 2nd portion of the internal storage )... and not keeping it in the 2GB portion...etc

you are stuck with a maximum of 10.82GB... unless you can performed those scripts mentioned above ( I have not tested it with our i717 yet :p )

I just flashed Alpha 17, Gapps, and the PAC Kernel from CWM Touch. I only get the PAC Man boot screen with the color changing Samsung logo. I can ADB Shell to it and when I try to run SU I get permission denied so I can't reboot into recovery. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
Im not sure about the recovery have you tried holding the volume up and down buttons at the same time during reboot? but as for the ROM, if you do get into recovery wipe everything clean and flash alpha v18 would be my first suggestion and you dont need to flash the kernel separate if you flash this ROM its already in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] takeastand:
I did finally get into recovery and got the rom going. I am expeirencing the screen flicker that someone mentioned before and I feel like it has to do with trebuchet since I've noticed a few trebuchet crashes. Anyone else get that?

Go to settings, developer options, scroll down to disable hw overlay and check it. That should resolve that.

Launcher Problems / Overlay Problems

Outside of the random reboots (which I can deal with), I have two other (minor) issues, wondering if someone has found a solution, I haven't found anything in this thread, but I'll keep searching.

1. After a reboot, once I unlock the screen, the system asks which launcher I'd like to use, either ADW or Trebuchet - regardless of how many times I choose ADW and hit ALWAYS.

2. When playing video (especially Youtube), the controls appear behind the video window, and I can't bring them forward. I can still control the video because I know where the buttons are, but I just can't see them. This happens around 90 percent of the time - even the notifications menu comes down "behind" the video.

EDIT - #2 seems to be fixed, I didn't realize I had to disable HW overlays on every reboot - I will have to set Tasker to do this.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
1. This shouldn't happen, but you could always freeze or remove Trebuchet, then it would only have one launcher and not prompt you (take a nandroid before, because there appears to be an ADW or ROM issue here since you're having to constantly select it).

2. This is a known problem for all CM10 ROMs for our phones, and most likely will remain broken until kernel source for JB is released and/or someone at CM figures out a hack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
dman3285: Are you still supporting this rom? I'm hearing from word of mouth that all the Devs have moved on to other devices accept Flapps. Have you moved on too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Can someone else test this for me:

-Open Titanium Backup

-Run Batch

-Move all User apps to SD Card

-Click the Run Batch again, but don't run anything, just verify that all of them have moved over by going to that same option.

-Reboot

-Now go back in to Titanium Backup, same thing but just verify if those apps are still moved to the sd card?

THEY ARE NOT!

Remember how I keep asking why I keep getting that "Storage Space Running Out" error, yes its because I have alot of apps but more so because this rom keeps moving them back to the internal memory every time I reboot. Can someone else verify this?

dman3285: Are you still supporting this rom? Is anyone else still running this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dparrothead1:
I stopped running this because of random reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Haven't had any reboots, had times were its froze up and I had to manually reboot using the hardware buttons. The dev said he was going to post any update soon, but nothing ever came out of it and not he is not posting at all. Wonder if he moved to another phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dparrothead1:
I know he posted a few times in the Infuse forums but nothing lately. Looks as if he is building CM10.1 for the Captivate Glide. The problem with PACman is that PA has really not released anything nor has AOKP......but the biggest holdup is that Samsung has not released a source.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Just talked to him. Still an active rom. Just hes busy with stuff right now that take priority.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ad44891:
I'm on this rom.. Been on it since it came out... I've had no issues at all... Best so far!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] magnumforce2006:
I assume you went back to an ics rom then? I don't think there are any Jb Roms that don't suffer from reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I had multiple reboots and freezes per day on all JB ROMs and various kernels, until I installed the h0tcakez Redux 3.0 kernel. Been several days since installed and not a single reboot or freeze.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Nice, have you had issues with moving apps to external memory like I was? Love this rom, but don't want to use it if it keeps forcing my apps back to my internal memory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] intuition34:
Regarding this rom and out of memory issues: for so. E reason the developer has made it so that the rom doesn't see or use either the internal SD card or the external one. When moving apps to SD (itself, because it doesn't let u do it) it's actually moving them to a mount point that just uses the internal memory.

Titanium backup is NOT an effective or useful way to force apps to move to the SD card. If u check after u use it for that purpose, u will see that it never actually moves them. (ie the rom doesn't move them back, they never moved in the first place.

The Only way I've discovered to circumvent this issue is to use link2sd. By create a second partition on your external SD card (can be done in windows with "mini partition tool" without losing any data on the primary partition. Personally I format to fat32 (although link2sd will see others (ext2, ext3, ext4))since it causes the least problems in link2sd. Then once u run libk2sd u can "link files to SD card". This is different than moving them to SD card (which link2sd will try to do but fail like all the programs do because the os doesn't let u write to the Mount point where it's keeping the "SD card programs and files" (which as I said before I'd really mounted (incorrectly) back to the internal memory).

That's it. U can actually "link" far more programs than u could "move"... Things like themes are now totally" linkable" (which is really a way of saying "moved to 2nd SD card partition) due to the way link2sd fools the os into the thinking the programs are in internal memory.

Using this method, this rom becomes infinitrly usable/expandable with apps without worry of running out of space. I now use Li k2sd with all rooms due to its ability to move things like themes and widgets with zero props.

Hope that helps. Doing anything else will just be banging your head against the wall.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I've never tried it, and I'm actually running CM10 nightlies right now so I can't comment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Can you explain why on Flapps AOSPxXx rom why my apps were moved yesterday to the external sd card and even after multiple boots through the course of yesterday and today....they are still there in the external memory? Why would one rom do something completely different?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] intuition34:
That I don't know. Most every other rom I have tried gets it right in terms of telling the os to move the apps that are movable to the internal SD card. If u notice, under settings, then storage, most rims show 3 "partitions" 2 gb for internal program storage. About 10 gb for the rest of "internal storage" (ie the internal ad card) and then it shows your external SD card if installed. I wish I did know enough about the "why" to maybe fix rooms like this but I don't.

Btw... Titanium backup will move programs to the internal SD card in other roms where it shows the 3 separate storage areas (the pac rom only shows 2)and can even "force move" some programs that don't show as movable under their apps properties options. But so do a zillion other programs, including link2sd.

Honestly, now that I've taken the time to partition my external SD (and without having to lose data) I wish I had done it long ago. It's such an easier and better option, especially when u throw in being able to move themes, widgets, etc.

Sorry I couldn't be more help

-mark
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Just checked System>Storage:

Total Space: 1.97gb

-Apps: 272mb

-Available: 1.63gb

On PACman with the exact same apps installed my total space is always max out and thats why I get that message. I just find it funny that PACman won't let me manually move them.

I only see an internal and external storage in my storage section. Are you saying that you partitioned space on the external storage to make another storage option?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] intuition34:
Yes. If u download link2sd,or even just go to their website they explain it all very clearly. U r creating a second primary partition (mine is 2gb)that is formatted as either ext2-3 or 4, or fat32 kwhich is what link2sd recommends. The partition isn't viewable by the sertings/storage or many file managers. After installing and starting link2sd,it will create a mount script that mounts it somewhere (mine is at data/sdext2 on my galaxy note) and then u can browse to it with root enabled file explorers like es file explorer.

And I share your frustration. Everything LOOKS right when browsing your device (ie sdcard0 and sdcard1 are present under /storage just as with other roms) but for some reason the damn os in this rom just won't "see it" right and allow the sd card at movement. I gave up trying to see why and am just loving the "workaround" that turned out to be better than the function it was meant to replace. (ie link2sd is far better than the typical move to SD card function in other roms) I use linj2sd in all roms now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Thank you for your recommendation, I will definantely look in to it and see if its an option for me, at least till the rom is fixed or if I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] intuition34:
Glad to help (if it turns out to, in fact, be a help).

Really can't go wrong, especially since program is free (as is mini partition tool for windows). So for zero dollars u get a great way to deal with storage pressure.

Personally, I so enjoy trying various programs that I often have so many installed that even with moving those that are movable to the sd card, o start to get low on internal program storage. Never again, since all of those programs are 'linkable', and virtually every other user app is as well. Can install almost limitless number of programs (including really big ones like themes, maps/navigation, etc)

Let me know how it works out for u.
