[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] insanethomas5:
Hi I'm having some fairly strange issues after my wife mistakenly downloaded what looks like a rom for a different device on her sgh 1717 (AT&T). The rom was slimbean jb 4.2.2 build 8 for the n7000 but I'm thinking it isnt a rom specific issue. Now this was done after rooting an installing TWRP 2.6 and several ROMs that she looked at, the last of which was the unofficial slimbean build 6.9 that is compatible with the i717. After installing the phone would boot to the samsung image and remain there until battery was pulled. So naturally when she brought the issue to my attention I booted into TWRP and did a wipe of dalvik cache, data, system, cache, and emmc and flashed her old slim bean 6.9 build. This worked fine until the first screen of setup came up asking for what language to setup on phone. Here upon clicking the start button with english selected the button would highlight registering it was selected then would freeze for 2-5 seconds before going dark. Once the screen would go dark it would remain so but pressing any of the hardware buttons would still cause the vibration feedback. So after this I installed the stable CM 10 rom without GAPPS (tried with but same results), and the phone would boot all the way to the homescreen. Here I could do actions such as dragging the notification/power menu down/up, lock/unlock display, swipe between different homescreens, open apps drawer/return to home screen via home or back button as they should function, but upon clicking any apps while still functioning there is a huge delay of 8-10 seconds before something takes place. Now I dealt with this long enough to browse through all of phones settings and even without changing anything the delay on one occation went away entirely for about an hour. Then, still having changed nothing except reboot it was the exact same situation. I again just browsed through the settings and have come to find that the delay will sometimes go away for short periods of time on occasion but have found no pattern or clues as to why it goes away or returns. Some more info in case helpfull, I did install GAPPS via GooManager and they at times like the system apps have the same issue. Also the phone is still rooted and I can still access everything and see no difference from before in root directories although beyond navigating through them occassionally I have little recollection as to what was there before. I have also tried fixing permissions via TWRP, flashing multiple other ROMs that me and my wife have used before some W/WO UBER Kernel but all with same or worse results. I'm fairly certain someone will know whats happened and a way to repair it but having searched around have found little information. I'm fairly new to the android OS and smartphones (only had one about 2 months now), but have become familiar with basic operation and fairly so with some of the lesser technical stuff but very comfortable with computers and have dabbled in windows software development and fairly comfortable with programming. If anyone could help me by even pointing me in the direction of information regarded to this I'd appreciate it greatly, thank you.
