[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
just a heads up of what's to come...

Android 4.4 (Kit Kat) features:

So what’s new? Here’s a quick list of everything KitKat is bringing us:

- Enhanced notification options for more info and cleaner presentation

- Screen recording capabilities

- The Messaging app is simply gone, replaced by a new version of Hangouts with SMS support built in.

- Google managed to do some heavy optimizing for all different types of hardware. Android will now run better on older hardware. It even optimizes memory usage for devices with less RAM.This could even allow phones that have reached the end of their life cycle to be updated, if the manufacturer is willing and the chip maker provides the necessary drivers.

- Google Now is no longer an app to be opened with

a swipe up, but with a left-to-right swipe on the homescreen. And instead of sending you to websites, Google Now will send you to the proper app to find the information you need.

- The dialer now has smart searching capabilities, allowing you to find people or businesses using the Yellow Pages without leaving the dialer.

- New NFC Capabilities through “Host Card Emulation”

- A built-in printing framework

- An improved storage access framework

- Support for more low-powered sensors, step detection and step counting

Just ordered my Nexus 5 but will still be using SoulTaker's builds for the next month. Thanks for keeping me going. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ~SoulTaker~:
Ordered my Nexus 5 today as well.

Can't wait to get it :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Must be nice to fork out that kind of money for a device....but good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
It seems to me that the new nexus has several downsides but I don't remember what they were except a slightly smaller screen (than the note 3 or mega)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukguy115:
Anyone think cm will give us some kitkat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Good question. Certainly not officially for the i1717. I think they've put us in the trashheap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ~SoulTaker~:
New UNOFFICIAL nightly built
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Not necessarily ipprof...Google doesn't support official updates for devices older than 18 months..Our device was released a few months after the Gnex so there's a good possibility of an official update but what's scary is I haven't seen any articles on the validity of what I'm saying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
It would be nice to see an official kitkat build but I think our phone is the bastard step child for some reason. It took us a long time to get a mediocre JB rom from Samsung and actually our phone hit the US market in Feb of 2012 so we're outside of the 18 month upgrade window. Heck, even CM has dropped us from the 10.2 builds. Gotta love our devs, they've kept us going! :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
I installed the latest SoulTaker and had to fall back. Is it just me or is anyone getting constant reboots after it loading within about 1-2 mins of the screen coming up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
No prob here. Just as smooth as previous versions. Virtually seamless transition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Its just so crazy to believe that I got this phone because it was a slightly better phone than my old HTC Inspire 4g...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
thanks, then will do a full wipe, I think my install has some remnants of the Jamie kernel possibly...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukguy115:
Occasional reboot here been off Jamie's kernel for awhile now. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] weathertom:
Have had no issues with the SoulTaker builds, they've worked great. I get an occasional random reboot, but have had that issue since day one on stock ROM with this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I have had no serious problems but I do get random reboots and a couple of replicable ones that blue screen me but reboot reliably.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
Thanks for the replies, but forgot to come back and say I did a full wipe and it's been running fine. And to add to that Jamie released an update yesterday and it does run fine on the latest SoulTaker for those that want that.

All the best
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ~SoulTaker~:
Hey guys I retired my Note last week.

Before I delete the build environment to free up space on my machine, I wanted to push out one final build to you.

Please note that there were no reported errors during building, but this build is entirely untested this time.

Thank you all for the support and encouragement over the past 2 & 1/2 months.

You all are awesome!!! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Thank you for all that you've done for our community. It was a great ride while it lasted and sincerely appreciated. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Yeah, same here. It's like we're now dead or something. What did you move up to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esokolov:
Can't decide between Galaxy Mega 6.3, Galaxy Note 3, and Nexus 5 (all North American). Either one has its obvious drawbacks. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
I really avoid making suggestions on ROM threads for other ROMs, but since this one is being retired..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2462284

4.3.1 AOKP, very stable. He's waiting on 4.4 in AOKP and he'll start cranking out 4.4 builds when they're available.

Thanks for your support Soultaker!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ~SoulTaker~:
I went with the Nexus 5 and I'm really enjoying it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esokolov:
Yeah, I'm thinking going for Nexus 5 + Nexus 7 (2013) instead of another phablet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
I heard the nexus 5 is easy to root, how easy ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
download supersu 165 zip

adb push supersu.zip /sdcard

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(use volume buttons to pick Recovery, boot into it)

flash supersu.zip

There are a bunch of threads on this, but these are the basic steps. No doubt I've messed up some command, so it's no copy and paste ;) Basically you unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery, then use that to flash the supersu zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
its been the same to root nexus phones since nexus one, one of the only things to stay the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Did I miss discussion somewhere about the external SD card being remounted (or perhaps scanned) on every wake?

It pops up just long enough to notice, but not confirm. No ill effects so far...

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Urgent! I still can't use my phone. I cannot download Odin from any site that my malware blocks. Does any body have a really nice and clean source where I can download Odin? This is really critical to me. Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Here you go https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83899917/Odin_v3.07.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Let me know if you need any other files. :good:

Thanks for doing the builds!

Yup, thinking Nexus 5 here as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] countryfried1:
messed up my note

I think I posted in wrong place earlier sry. Since the last time I've had problems I've successfully rooted and installed new rom/os on 4 androids. I've recently purchased a galaxy note sgh I717. It's an at&t phone I'm using it for straight talk. I just installed embryo on my daughters galaxy 2 and I wanted to put something similar on my phone and to also have the freedom of the phone rooted... Well I used odin and installed numerous times but can't put an os on it that passes the signature... Please help cause I'm poor and can't afford to buy another phone....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Well I finally got the Odin to work but I can't flash anything from the phone or card. I need a tar or.md5 file of almost any ROM. Can anyone help? I can only flash through Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I found I could convert to tar so I flashed but nothing. I think I have some partition problems. Anyone know how I can partition? I need a pit file but can't find one I'm confident in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] countryfried1:
I got a cwm zip to load up thru odin on bootloader downloading AOKP for sgh I717 to see if I can load it in like that. I know I can turn off verification of signature with cwm. Hopefully it will work...

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

idk why but cwm sort of disappeared so i'm back to the drawing board
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Have you tried some of the Gingerbread and ICS Odin files in the Super-Everything Thread?

You may have to revert completely back to GB in order to resurrect the phone.

That's not as much of a headache as you might think... I did it just for S&G's when I was debating with myself about exactly why I was running JB/CM10.x. Since you're not having to worry about backups, it might even be easier than what I did...

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Thanks. I'll take a look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Well thanks to all your help i am back to stock and no longer bricked. I want to get back to 10.2 but i can't seem to do it. Im rooted but i can't get the 10.2 Rom to flash. Am i doing something stupid?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Pay the $2 for the full version of ROM Manager in the Play store.

Use it to upgrade to the latest version of CWM.

The latest version(s) of TWRP have been problematic.

CWM has been flawless for me.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
Or use TWRP 2.5 for free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I'm using cwm which saved me. It's probably not the latest although it is touch. I'll upgrade and see. I've had rm for years so it's all paid for. I find it hard to find old twrps.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I just tried to use rm to update my cwm but it said rm doesn't serve i717 and asked me whether I had installed ver 2 or ve 3 and would adjust to it, but no way of updating. Sucks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
All versions of TWRP are available at goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
You'll probably have to re-pay... kinda sucks, but to me, it was FAR easier than trying to figure out exactly how to get the flashable versions flashed outside the app. And it's not like you're buying Koush a corporate jet or anything... ;)

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I I don't think if I buy it again the app would be any different. I think it's saying this because I have a stock GB ROM. And I can't flash any ROMs!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Did you flash the non-stock CWM? You have to go back and do that after you get a working phone. The normal Samsung recovery (called 3E) is practically useless. I forget which color the stock recovery uses, but I seem to remember that it was a dark, almost unreadable blue.

I'm running RM v5.5.3.0, which installs touch recovery v6.0.4.3. All I had to do was select "Recovery Setup", and then "Install or Update Recovery". Quincyatt is one of the listed Samsung options.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Sounds like you're getting some good advice ipprof. I got to thinking and you might just want to upgrade to stock JB first before you flash back into the custom roms. BlownFuze has an excellent guide for flashing to stock and rooting along with links to the files you'll need. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42806745&postcount=360 Just a thought. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
That's where I an. Stock. But recovery I did first of course so it's a 6 touch I think 6.5.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Oh, ok that's good. For some reason I thought you had dropped back to GB. I'm guess I'm jumping around too many threads and got mixed up!:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
No I'm trying to get out of here but I can't load any rooms. Sometimes it says it can't find it but it's been flashing it when it says so. Am I doing something wrong? What should I be doing first? And then...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
The latest cwm is 6.0.4.3. Not sure what you've got going on there. If you read that thread I posted a couple back he gives you step by step to flash, root and install your recovery with odin. You'd be flashing a TWRP tar file but that would get you going and then you could get back on cwm if you wanted. I have all the files if you choose to do that and can't get them downloaded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Okay but I avoided two because people said that's how I got bricked. But maybe I'll try two's just to get pit of stock. U don't know why this touch cwm which is 6 something is not flashing anything. What room do you think I should flas h first out of stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
I haven't had any trouble with cwm. Not sure what you mean by two's? I've used the thread I referred to several times just to clean up my phone. As far as a rom to flash BlownFuzes AOKP is stable. Also Carbon 20131018 and the same date for patch's liquidsmooth. They both play nice with uber, just not the latest uber. I think it was the oct 19th version. I have those files too and can put them up on dropbox if you need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Thanks I'll let you know. That was twrp not two's but it doesn't always come out right as you know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
I'm using stock JellyBean rom and about to root and flash CM rom, but i'm confused in their ROMs!!

the last stable version is 10.1.3

The last nightly version is 10.1-20131104

And there is 10.2-20130814 but still nightly!!

Which one should I download? And what's the difference between them!?

I'm about to flash the last nightly version, which is 10.1-20131104
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
LOL, ok! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
CM isn't supporting the 10.2 for this phone anymore. You can have stable or nightly 10.1.

Stable isn't really stable but the nightly may be less so. Kind of a crap shoot but the nightly has the latest changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I guess i could use those files the goo server has been off line all day and who knows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
I rooted my device and charging it to install the cm 10.1 nightly version :)

Q/ what is the best Gapps for the 10.1 night?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
20130812 for that rom. Don't confuse it with the 20130813 which is for 10.2 roms! :)

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Ok, I'll get them uploaded, probably take a little while the rom file is pretty big.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Here's the TWRP file. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83899917/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.img.tar

As soon as the rom gets done uploading I'll post it. Be sure to unzip it as it's a .tar file as well and includes a .dll file.

MD5 checksum for the TWRP is B503520EBF4CB37D3CDFCA95BAA59F39 and the rom zip will be 9BF36B0089EA61A75B2DDA71E85BC646

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Ok, the rom file finally finished. Actual file name is I717UCMD3_I717ATTMD3_ATT.zip and the link is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83899917/I717UCMD3_I717ATTMD3_ATT.zip

I believe that you got the odin file the other day so you should be good to go. Just follow BlownFuze's guide step by step. I know every time that I flash back it always hangs on the original reboot just like it says in his guide. Give it a few minutes and force a reboot with the power button then hold volume up and down in and go into the factory recovery and do a factory reset. Good luck! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Thanks so much. It's so sad we are destined to die away (unless we all get the same new phones) but for now this has been a fantastically collegial group. I think... Knock on wood... that I'll be in really good shape. This was a close one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
No problem, I'm glad I could be of assistance. I agree about moving on to another phone. Just going through the forums for new phones that interest me and I'm thinking don't these people read before they post! Sure, we get them occasionally but not to the level I'm seeing elsewhere. We have a good group in this forum and some great devs! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I know and it's not just the people but the phones themselves. Nothing really strikes me because each has it's own share of faults. I love the mega's size, others' features, and there's no one phone for me right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Yeah, this has been a great phone and extremely easy to root/install recovery and flash roms on. For me the physical size is great too. Plenty of screen that I don't need to squint at to read! LOL. And the removable battery and ext sd just make things so much easier. The latest phones with the newest hardware either lack these things or are locked up tighter than a drum and personally I just can't stand OEM UI's or all of the bloat apps. Oh well, life goes on and technology evolves. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I feel EXACTLY the same way. I love new phones but there's nothing out there right now. Except the mega. Which is too lacking in features other than size. I'd love to have this note in that size with a readily good display, better than what mega offers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
I've looked at the Mega also but I know that I wouldn't be happy with it. I've been eyeing the LG G2 which has some great specs and can be had for $50 now on contract. Good specs and easy to root but of course an embedded battery and no ext sd although the AT&T variant has 32g of internal storage with about 24g usable. I'm just not thrilled with the volume/power buttons on the back. Looks like trouble waiting to happen. But I guess that there's no real rush since we now have kitkat which for being alpha runs incredibly well and I've had zero problems with my phone so far (knock on wood). I'll just keep watching until something that meets my taste comes along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
You're on kit Kat now? Which one did you flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
I've tried both of them and JamieD's version with his kitkat Uber seems to like my phone a little bit better. Both good roms though and extremely stable unlike the JB roms we've seen! :laugh: Of course they don't have all the bells and whistles but they're definitely daily driver quality. Ok, big storms blowing in here and the lights are flickering a lot. better go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I had a hell of a day struggling with one version. I don't know if it was Jamies. I'm back to 10.2 and ecstatic!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
Now I'm back on 4.4 and a little happier. The only deal breaker might be power consumption. It's a combination of using to much power and not charging as well as it use to. I assume it's the ROM as that's all I've changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Download fastcharge from the play store to decrease your charging time. Just remember to turn it off when you want a USB connection to your computer or it won't be recognized. Also, go into settings in google search and uncheck the Hotword Detection box, that eats some battery. If you're using JamieD's rom, I believe that the default governor is Hyper. Change that to On Demand. That's what I've changed my settings to a few days ago and the battery life is much better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I think I've done most of that. But I'm getting 0 amps plugged into the charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Is that a current reading in an App? I've noticed that the battery monitor that I use gives goofy readings and even says that the battery isn't charging but it is.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

I use Battery Widget Reborn and it gives me a percentage icon in the notification bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
It took quite awhile but it's finally charging at a pretty good rate. I don't like that we seem to have no control over the notification bar. I'm so used to using it to turn things off and on... And also to choose percentage over tiny icon!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Battery Widget Reborn also gives me most if not all of the notification bar actions that I had before. In the 4.3 and earlier roms I always shut that feature off but now I have a use for it. One other thing, it seemed like 4.4 needed quite a bit of time to settle in before my battery life got back to normal. You'll notice in the attached picture that the graph for the charge/discharge rate is wonky. Apparently the app isn't optimized for 4.4 yet, but the percentage must be pretty close because the phone hasn't shut down when it gets low! :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] weathertom:
"New" CM10.2 or other?

Is there a new source for 10.2 nightlies now that ~SoulTaker~ is unable to do them? Or, is there a 10.3 (KitKat) source? I'd like to keep updating my Note if possible. I have the last 10.2 ~SoulTaker~ built on there now, it works well, but I'm always up for trying a newer ROM. I plan to eventually go to a Nexus 5 (I think), but want to get what I can out of this Note before then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
There are two kitkat roms now. One is in the general forum and the other is in the development forum. Both listed as 4.4 roms. Nothing much going on with 10.2 right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] weathertom:
Thanks, I'll take a look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
Jamie's P5 is basic cm11 (kit Kat) highly recommended as long as you don't use video recording
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] weathertom:
Where do I find that? Are there regular builds? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] elheffe:
It's in the general section same as this thread.

After a great deal of banging my head into the wall, I FINALLY got my own build environment set up. woohoo!!!

Here's another nightly for y'all.

It booted successfully on my Note.

I haven't done much testing on it other than booting and bringing up Maps and Facebook.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

I'm also working on a build based out of the "stable" sources for CM10.2, as opposed to the "nightly" build tree.

I'll post it, as well, when it's done.

(yeah, I know there aren't many of us left, but I wanted to get the latest commits, since there have been quite a few since ~SoulTaker~'s last build, and there were some issues on MY unit that needed attention.)
