Yes. But you're getting the benefit of controlling your own phone and not att controlling it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
True dat...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Haphim:
Of course. But I didn't know if anyone had managed to extract the desirable parts of the firmware update, leaving out the problematic items.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
The devs are pretty good at adding the good parts of official updates to their roms. You'll have to try some or look in their op's to find what you want
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] markbc01:
Congratulations! you really did it well!

CM10.1 is good --and it has its own new camera, but it is still pretty lean. Most people like it for that reason and it delivers.

IF you want features. . .the development pages are exploding with custom roms with features!

One of characteristics of most of the roms is that they are rich in features and as tjd1639 already noted to you, they all have most if not all the desirable parts ;) Axeman and others have some threads that summerize what is available -and some of those threads are stickies too!

If you like the Samsung features/desirable parts, then look at TouchWiz (TW) roms. They maintain all of Samsung's bells and whistles and that includes that great camera and all that eye-following-stuff.

The AOSP roms, on the other hand offer a staggering amount of features and customizations. -Some more than SS if that's even possible.

Just as an example, I am currently using Shostock2.2 which is MF3 based (and that is kind of unsettling, since MF3 locks the phone down!) but without the bad parts ;) But a completely opposite direction might be to chose a rom based on the international version (Golden Eye for example --I think??) and one thing you won't lack for are features -the latest and the best!

So, as far as what your phone has or can use, you really won't miss out on anything unless you want to miss out on it. . .that is really XDA!

Have fun! :victory:

EDIT: one caveat -and I apologize since you seem to have a lot of posts already; which probably accounts for why your rooting went well, and loading your custom rom seemed to go well. Still please be careful when you switch roms or change recoveries in the future. If one takes action too quickly or sloppily, it is still very possibly to muck up your phone and be reading the recovery threads to get back to normal. Sadly, I've done that too often to admit :(

(but still have fun!)

Question @Haphim!

Can I ask you how did you get the MDL version? Was it luck? (just handed you that box), or did you ask the dealer? or

Was it a person-to-person swap?

The reason I ask is that I am wondering how many MDL versions are still out there in the new phone stores!

(I've been telling folks about how good this phone is, but then saying they can't really get it nowadays, at least at AT&T without

the MF3 problem. . . .)

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Haphim:
Thanks! I had my eye on AOKP, actually. I've never used it before, but its goal of offering a high level of customization for power users appeals to me. Unfortunately, it still seems early in its development. CM10.1 was up to release candidates, so I figured it was a good placeholder ROM for the moment.

Let me tell you, it was the last place I thought possible - directly from AT&T! I upgraded through them over the phone, and had resigned myself to an MF3 unit - after all, that's what was shipping to every store I had been to. Imagine my shock when I looked at the box and saw it labeled as MDL. :)

I had only researched rooting MF3 because I figured I didn't have a chance in hell of getting anything else, coming directly from them. All of a sudden, I'm in a mad dash to do all the research I *would have* done had I known I was getting something moddable.

I'm glad I had the self control to make this post *before* I turned it on for the first time. <whew!>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] markbc01:
Amazing! Great luck! go buy a lotto ticket. . . well, skip that -you already won one prize! :good::good:

(I walked around with my MDL version i337 using it as stock phone for a day or so. Trying to confirm I really wanted it. Then I discovered that the deadly (MF3) update was active and hitting folks OTA!

As soon as I returned home I rooted it, killed the update file(s) that I could find on the threads and then spent the next couple of days checking out the rom I wanted (I had used SS3 on the S2, so Shostock2.2 here was already my favorite).

AOKP is great too, although some of those roms can get almost overwhelming with options!

enjoy the prize! ...just got it in the mail. ... that is amazing! :victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ashyford:
In my experience, I find the above portion of the quote to be inaccurate. The OTA update immediately began on Wi-Fi alone BEFORE I activated the new SIM card (by calling to switch the IMEI and CCID via voip) as well as BEFORE I inserted the SIM card. My phone was off the grid for three days (i.e. no Wi-Fi and no SIM) in order to figure out what to do to stop the update. I describe the process in the CASUAL thread in case anyone is having the same experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Locoman_:
The short answer is yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bradl79:
i got one saying the update was postponed, then i went in and disabled the OTA files in System/App and through titanium backup. will it still process the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Keekers:
I don't understand what happened. The total space is now 12.05GB and I only have 478MB available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
The 12.05 is right. That's what a 16 GB hard drive is after a format. As for the low Available space how many Nandroids do u have,?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Keekers:
I don't have any on the internal storage. I'm so confused because I can't figure out where the space is coming from. I've moved all my pictures, backups, and downloads to the external SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbolton_98:
Time to nandroid, wipe, and clean install, then restore what you want from nandroid. (Any app that you don't need data for , don't restore it. imo

Check what it looks like after clean install and then again after restore. Apps like Play Store and others can have alot of stuff in cache folders, you might want to chech out something like all-in-one toolbox to clean you cache and see what it says. Good luck, I'm a flash-a-holic so I nand & wipe all the time. Last time I stayed on a rom for a week I cleaned cache and it was 3 or 4 gig.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Download es file manager and do the SD card analyze. That will show you what folders/files are eating up your space. It could just be a bug in the setup menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Keekers:
I ran the SD card analyzer and it came up with the same breakdown as the settings display. I wish I knew what was causing the problem but I never did find out. I had to do 2 more wipe/restores and the storage returned to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Glad u finally got it right

Thanks, me too :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
I have a build ready and will upload in the morning

sent from somewhere upon the beanstalk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
Thnx patch! I see in ur work over in the att i717 forum and u have a lot of hits on this rom... Ur work is trustable and I'm down to try it out and give feedback... Once I'm off work I'll slap it on my tmo phone and test drive it... Thnx bro... :thumbup::thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Download in the OP guys....good luck and report back to me with bugs and what does and does not work! Logcats for errors and bugs will be a big help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] srpanadero:
The 9-05 build: Installed clean. Runs very smooth. Also, camera works fine, video works fine on it. Other 4.3's have had problems with video recording, but didn't get any errors here.

First problem was with Holo launcher HD. Tried using this first, but "Unfortunately holo launcher has stopped". Trebuchet worked OK.

Main issue has been errors with google apps. Used the gapps linked, also had a copy already on sd card, a lot of "unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped", "unfortunately the process com.google.process.location has stopped", google account manager has stopped" etc. It is acting as if it were a wrong gapps version, but its not, its the 8-13-2013. Everything works, just errors.

I could reliably cause this when changing wifi networks. Here is a logcat while changing network and forcing the error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Thanks for the information. Holo launcher should work fine after it updates through google play. If it does not then again, let me know. I'll look at the logcat (and probably send it to smarter people for a second opinion too). Very busy with school these next two weeks, please give me some time :)

One thing you could try is to use slim gapps from slimBean....I know it sounds weird, but it's fixed problems in the past for me

slim gapps here if your interested
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] srpanadero:
Slim gapps on a clean install same problem with gapps and google services errors.

No problem, no hurry. Take your time, school first. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
Finally installed the rom sorry for the delay it's running smooth restored my data through helium n its working fine...I will report of any problems...thank u patch!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
UPDATE: so I've being running it for over 16 hours n I gotten 6 reboots (damn) n FC's on at least 4 apps I backed up the rom so whenever there's a new nightly I'll flash it and hope to get the FC'S n reboots minimized as for now I'm running skeleton key... Thank u patch Lmk when u get a new nightly update :thumbup::thumbup:

Subscribed to this thread

I build Beanstalk for the t0lte note 2 and I'm also getting gapps crashes. I tried many gapps and the result is always the same, let each other know patch adams if we get something!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Thanks for dropping by will! I don't have much gapps issue on i717 beanstalk unless I dirty flash, but some others seem to have issue. Did I see you found a better 4.3 gapps forum??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
moderators....shold this get moved to a development section?? It is a rom and I'll work on it from time to time...Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Folks...if gapps FC's try the PA gapps for 4.3....thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
Lol yeah u should or they should move it to development page n it's not gapps it's a few apps that FC's n clock freezes on me too lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] srpanadero:
OK, clean build using PA gapps (full), and things seem better. One error on setup but for an hour or so now, no gapps errors. Running pretty smooth, will give more feedback later as it happens.

Camera video doesn't work after the first one, same as other 4.3's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Have you tried third party apps from play store.....I think video cam illusion is what we always used on miui....(or something like that)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] srpanadero:
No. Didn't work. I have found no camera app that will work consistently on 4.3 ROMs. Thx anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
There is going to be a fix in the new build for the gapps fc issues. Give me some time to get a build out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
new build up and updated op.....

enjoy and please report bugs (with logs if you can grab them) :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] metaltrek:
Thank you very much for all your hard work running great!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] srpanadero:
The "K" 915 build is running very well, very smooth. No errors.

I used the PA full gapps

If only we could get the 4.3 video camera working. But it will come in time. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] help1860:
downloading ... gonna test it soon... Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] help1860:
well... It's a great ROM.. super fast.. super smooth... great launchers.. but horrible battery life :( I hope this will be fixed in the new nightly... indeed It's amazing work over all.... BeanStalk is the ROM I would love to have on my phone... but I have to go back to Carbon ROM for now as I need my cell to last through my day.. I will be waiting for the new nightly.. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
I agree, I get pretty terrible battery life....but this started with 4.3 as I remember?? I am using an app called "juice defender" from play store. I just use the free version and it does really help by keeping data and wi-fi off when the screen is off. If you don't need the data on all the time it is well worth the try.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] help1860:
I had this app before... but found out I do not need it with Carbon.... but yeah I'm gonna try it with BeansStalk... I still have it running .... but let me ask you this question... I'm having an issue with VOIP with all 4.3 ROMS except the original CM 10.2... all apps like Skype, Tango, Line, Kakao, and Viber... when I call using any of these apps no one can hear me.. while i can hear them... when i switch back to 4.2.2 they all work again... Healybean, Carbon, PacMan, and StalkBeans all have the same issue ... also google voice acts up... it dials connect but no me or the receiver can hear anything.. I can clear google voice issue by restarting my phone... but restarting does not help all other apps with Android 4.3 ROMS... any thoughts? Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] srpanadero:
Yeah have the same or similar. I use Csipsimple heavily and its a no go. Tried a lot of settings, tried a lot of other apps like cxphone and others but nothing works on 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
I do not use these features and am not sure of the issues at the moment, sorry
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
New build in OP for your enjoyment :victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
Nice Rom

I really really like this rom. Although I have an issue that won't allow me to make this my daily driver.

After clean wipe and install the rom boots just fine, and I go through setup. However, as soon as I reboot the phone I loose all data connection.

After reboot, my signal bars and 3g symbol are white instead of blue. I have tried rebooting into recovery and wiping cache. I have clean wiped and reinstalled multiple times and the result is always the same. One initial boot I have data, after a reboot I have no data

I really hope this issue gets resolved because this rom is excellent.

Thanks

-Polluti0n.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
May be you need to flash tmo modern or something? I only have the AT&T version of i717 so I don't know. I have not built more for your phone because no downloads. May be I build 1 Kitkat version for you guys for fun?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have already tryed flaching T879-UVLG3modem.zip. Thats the newest radio for the Tmo Note. I know you don't have a tmo note and that this forum sections is dead, but do you have any other ideas on how to get data working after a reboot? This is by far the best jellybean rom on the tmo forums and I would love to be able to use it.

Also any sort of Kitkat love would be much appreciated.

Thanks again for your time.

A build of Kitsap would be a fun adventure. I have been wondering how well it would work on the t-879.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Guys/gals

Here is a kitkat build for quincytmo.....

http://d-h.st/WlV

and I do not have the device and can not test it so.....FLASH AT YOUR RISK......as usual.....

and keep in mind most of the beanstalk features are not back into the rom yet.....is still a WIP...

if it test ok I will post to OP....

Failed flashing... error executing updater binary in zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
That is weird. Your using cwm? I should have said that is a must....sorry about that. If you are on cwm, please provide a screenshot (or picture) of the error and I'll look into it. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] wschom:
I am using twrp. I even tried an older version of twrp. Is coming a requirement?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Yeah. Sorry I didn't mention it. You will need to use cwm. Kitkat, at the moment, it's not workings with TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] wschom:
Had to create a CWM tar to flash with odin. Got the ROM to flash though. Trying it out now.

Thanks, for all your hard work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] wschom:
The ROM appears to work pretty good. It fails in one area though... bluetooth. While it does work the service hangs just as it did in 4.3.

I am stuck with 4.12 because of the bluetooth issues with the newer stacks. Maybe this is why Samsung never came out with a newer ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
I appreciate your testing. Can you provide a link for your cwm package? I will post the Rom to the OP if you can :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] wschom:
I will put both up as soon as I can. I have been busy for the last couple of days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Should be perfect timing. There will be a new Rom at that time with many more of the beanstalk features merged in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] wschom:
Here is the link to the recovery:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
I will add this to the OP with the Rom...thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
I gave this ROM a go and it is so so smooth. I love it. Thank you so much for porting this to the T-Mobile side. Just one question. Are you going to be adding some of the beanstalk goodness in future updates? I noticed on the att side that it was updated on 11/23. The download link in the OP is still the ROM from 11/16 here on the T-Mobile side. Anyways it is incredible to see kitkat on my T-Mobile note.

Thank you.

-Polluti0n

P.s. I was getting non of the no data after reboot like I was getting on the previous jellybean build. /cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Yes. I will update soon for you guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] OneModAtATime:
I downloaded and flashed your rom yesterday & all I can say is thanks and great job! Almost everything is running smooth and functioning appropriately. The only problem I had (and I'm not sure if it had anything to do w/ my process specifically) was recording video. I went into the camera app and pictures were taken fine, but when I switch to video and press the red record button nothing happens. Also when I try to use a third party app like Instagram or Snapchat (which I use often) to record video, again nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Video is a bug at the moment, sorry about that. It should be sorted out after some time...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
anyone want to give this a go...new build...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
hi patch! hope you had a great thanksgiving!! I tried downloading the .TAR file to give kitkat a shot but it redirects me to a different website...can you provide us with the file please? thank you in advance : )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
I just took the tar file and turned it into a flashable zip. You can flash it through cwm or twrp and it will bring you to the 6.0.4.3 cwm touch recovery. Maybe Patch will add this to the OP, just to make flashing a little easier :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Would love to! Thanks for working on that :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
Nice! Thanks bro I'll flash tomorrow :thumbup::thumbup:

Giving it a shot

Will try now on T-mobile device.

Will you just copy a plain text version of this link here for me to use. Your 'link' will not copy to the OP nicely....thanks...

P.S. I plan to get you guys a much more updated beanStalk version soon.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] TheCashews:
Thanks so much this rom, I think it runs more smoothly than any other rom I've tried for the Note. The only issues I've come across on this rom is that the video doesn't work ( both capturing and playing videos from gallery ), and that it occasionally takes several times to wake up from standby. Other than that, this rom is excellent.

Im so stoked right now. I got your 4.4008 version that is posted in the att forums running on my tmobile note. I just had to repackage the rom with the appropriate .ko files and the cm kernel from the tmobile build. I repackaged the rom and flashed through the i717 version of CWM. I then changed the I/O scheduler to "noop" and the rom is running so smooth. I haven't gotten any FC's, Wakelocks, blue screens, or random reboots. Its running superb.

Also I was thinking about trying the hellybean 4.3 kernel with the 4.4008 build to see if I can get overclocking working. I just wanted to ask you if 4.3 kernels work in 4.4, or if it takes away from the optimizations done in 4.4?

Anyways I am so happy to have 4.4 running buttery smooth on my dev neglected tmobile note :)

Thanks again Patch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
So funny. I was going to build 4.4008 for tmo tonight. :) 4.3 kernels were working before...so?? But I'll build you the new version with the PAC kernel which defaults at 1890.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
Where you able to figure out why the kernel was getting stuck on the max frequency? I read that was a issue on the att version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
I haven't had any time to ask the author, so no. I might need to use a different common branch or something. I'm building for now, as-is....sorry if that's not ok...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
Lol. All development is good development. I was just asking because I was curious. I will let you know if I can get the hellybean kernel to play nice.

Thanks for your time buddy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] angelf82:
All the problems u haven't got I've gotten...runs really smooth would u be able to upload ur version of the rom so we can flash? If patch doesn't mind...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
Guys...feel free to share in here :) I tried to build again and it didn't work out. I'll work on it some more another day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Polluti0n:
Well I started getting a few select wake issues today (having to double tap the power button). The wake issue has been something I have been dealing with since 4.3 and I have no idea why it happens. Anyways, I am going to try to get diablo kernel working with 4.4008 tonight or tomorrow and if I have any luck I will post back.

Other than the wake issue, the rom is running great.

Patch, what do I have to change in the rom to be able to flash it through the T879 CWM? change the build.prop?

I already know i have to change the .ko files, the kernel, and the radio.

Thanks man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] patch_Adams:
One of the governors...user something-or-other should fix the wake issue, I think. And not sure what you need to change??
