things needed

can ONLY be flashed on CWM, twrp wont work so i dont want to see people complaining about a bad flash.

instructions:

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL CWM *this can be done easily through rom manager*, for some reason twrp doesnt want to flash 4.4

back up all the things! *this means your apps with helium or something and a cwm backup*

wipe all the things! *MANDITORY DONT EVEN ASK TO DIRTY FLASH FROM 4.3* *factory reset, then format /system*

flash rom

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Sweet! I knew you'd beat me too it :) You the man sir!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
updated to p2, i know quick but the market thing was bugging me and the kernel bump is nice :) enjoy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Awesome!!! I'm away and don't have WiFi, only 1GB of data. Ugh my flashing urge is coming! Great work Jamie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pockets916:
awesome jamie, where would this community be without you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
+1. Has anyone used this and noticed a difference for the optimization for older devices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Thanks for another rom Jamie, it flashed and setup just fine. I let google play install all of my apps and now I'm ready to give it a spin! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] amcateesd:
Looks awesome, and thanks for all the work. Wifi seems to work then drop then reconnect. Otherwise awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
This rom is running pretty sweet Jamie. I know it has some flaws yet but its been very stable and not laggy at all. I noticed in CPU Spy that it rarely pegs out the CPU and yet it's very snappy. Your kernel is doing a great job. Doesn't always like to wake up but will after clicking the volume up/down a couple of times. I'm not up to speed on setting up ART so I don't know how well that works yet. I just had to post an "About Phone" screen shot on Google+, was getting sick of all the Nexus 5 owners bragging it up! LOL :laugh: Here's a couple of screen shots for any one interested. The CPU Spy screenshot was taken after playing a video game that normally pegs the cpu out a lot and running the AnTuTu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Wow 10k... Pretty impressive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Not bad for our old phone and not OC'd, but it was the bottom of the listing! LOL. I ran that benchmark just because I was curious since the CPU seems to run at a lower frequency than other roms. Doesn't really mean anything I guess. The rom works, it seems to be stable (haven't made any calls yet) and it's pretty quick. I'm not seeing the hang that I did on 4.3 roms. Especially when going back to the home screen and I'd get a black screen for a few seconds while the launcher reloaded. I'd say that his is a darn good alpha build. One other thing I noticed is that in settings under Google there isn't a sync for browser so I'm not getting my bookmarks. I'm off work this weekend so I have plenty of time to play with this. Besides, I'm not ready to downgrade back to 4.3.1! :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Haha I would be testing but need to conserve this data! Hopefully I'll get WiFi soon to download this and the gaaps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] COA4178:
Very nice now in no time 4.3 will b history along with jb lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
What a dummy, it finally occurred to me to download Chrome and that would sync my bookmarks. Don't like the Chrome browser but it will do for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Haha the littlest things that count ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Just a crazy idea but can we create flashable zips of the apk's that we can't install because of the parsing problem ? I'm wanting to see if xposed framework will work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
You could use App2Zip then flash that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
Anybody else have browser completely fail just hangs with a black screen? Also couldn't seem to see my sd card, in some areas such as the camera... does it not like ext4 formatting?

Anyway felt smooth, missing all the customizations I'm used to, but an awesome start. I can't believe how fast this landed, hats off to the whole team!

Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
You could just install apps via adb ? and xposed doesn't work with 4.4 yet well the modules dont
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crxlvr:
Is it just my phone or when charging does it go super slow as if it were on a trickle charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] myfriday:
I just tried using it yesterday, and I got off course because I expected the voice on Navigation to work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
I hope that The fix can be identified, or at least the problem, from me finding that VON works when BT is active on a call.

What I mean is that the voice direction s ARE happening. We just can't hear them through the handset speaker.

Zeddock

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

I too depend on the little magic box, a lot!

But given that this is an alpha, and it is THE BEST ROM I have ever had on this phone, I can patiently wait for the fix.

... I am not going back to 4.3.

Thanx Jamie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
I'm not having any trouble with charging times. You might want to get fastcharge from the play store to speed up your charge time though. Just remember that when fastcharge is enabled you can't usb connect with a pc to transfer files and whatnot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
I had noticed that charging seemed a little slow on this rom. Your post reminded me that fastcharge is enabled with uberkernel so I just fired up trickstermod and set it to fastcharge.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] asb2164:
I have been on this Rom for almost 24 hrs now and not having any problems so far, I did notice mine was charging slow so I used trickster to enable fast charge.

I was actually starting to look for some good deals on a Note 2 until this Rom came out hopefully all is well and I can keep using this phone and this has definitely added some life to our aging phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crxlvr:
Sorry for being a noob but is trickster in this ROM or does it need to downloaded separately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] len_smith:
I installed this last night. It looks so promising, especially over the CM10 series. I have two issues. First, the wifi suddenly stopped and it won't restart. Tried warm and cold reboots and nothing.

The other is battery drain. NFC is off and this morning I went from a full charge to dead empty in 45 min. I was downloading apps for 20 min of that time.

Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

I hoped that my phone might pick up our WiFi at work, but no.

Also, as with the other CM variants, the phone won't play music through the Samsung dock. You still need a third party app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crxlvr:
I too experienced heavy drain on this ROM. Not quite 45 mins but maybe 1/4 the amount of time I normally get on a charge with minimal usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tobesedated:
I would try redownloading and reflashing. I'm not sure how much of a difference this actually makes but I have found on the 4.4 ROMs if I flash the ROM, boot and set up wifi, data, securities and debugging, then go back to recovery and flash the gapps...I have way less issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Stino955:
Used my phone normally yesterday for the first time on this ROM, and it's great. Listened to podcasts from 8am - noon, answered emails and sent texts and I was on wifi, with the OnDemand governor. Battery was down to 65% at noon, and I had 3 more hours of the same in the afternoon. Battery finally died at around 8:30pm.

With Fast Charge on it took less than 90 minutes to return to full.

Also, I made a post a few days ago about my internal 2gigs being full. Although I did a clean install (wiped everything as normal), a bunch of data was dumped into the LOST+FOUND folder, eating up about 1.7gb. If anyone runs into a similar problem, just clear it out through terminal emulator.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
My phones been up 56.5 hours without a reboot, WiFi works like a champ, battery? Was at 56% left after 13 hours yesterday with 2 hours screen on.

1.89ghz ondemand gov
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Stability on this ROM has been ridiculously fantastic...Are you getting that battery life with a ravpower?..if so, I need one..

Have you seen anything on cm11 repository pertaining to tts or video camera?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Yes ravpower, and not that I've seen I'll check after work tonight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Thanks..thanks...a million times thanks man...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stimur:
Installed P4,

works nice, KitKat is cool.

can play music in bluetooth,

can use bluetooth handsfree

Once bluetooth disconnected or got disabled can't enable it back. need to reboot.

Once needed to reboot because of weird super bright screen. I started Onkyo remote and it stuck on gradient intro picture slowly increasing brightness until it is completely white. Only hard reboot by pressing Power button helped.

don't even try to enable ART, I ended up reflashing everything this morning.

One thing I tweaked - enabled zRAM, since I'm usually out of memory ...May be this affecting bluetooth ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JWhipple:
Just installed for the first time, running perfectly smooth all day today on my i717 on T-Mobile using the KID modem!!!!

Outstanding work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] len_smith:
Thanks. I'll try that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hafridi:
Thank you for this! This ROM is AMAZING! Will keep testing and checking for bugs and issues. But so far. Wonderful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tobesedated:
DELETE>>>>>>>>So sorry...wrong phone wrong ROM lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] l330n:
This is working great on my phone! Im afraid to install a lot of stuff because as far i can tell for almost a day its been working great, i even installed viper4android and its working fine so far with google play music streaming, which is what i use mostly. Thanks :D

Edit. . . forgot to mention when i am playing music and i wake the phone from sleep it does make a rather disturbing sound for a split second, but im ok with it for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
This rom makes my note feel new. I am not kidding!

For those with wakeup issues, Wheatley seems to work, but I had used caution and NOT checked the box about restoring on reboot.....

So why did I get disappointed when after reboot it started to not wake again?

Just old age and forgetfulness.

If you change to a new performance level, check the box to restore upon reboot.

Zeddock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] len_smith:
I an still setting WiFi issues, even after a reinstall of the ROM. But, the WiFi lasted longer. This time the performance got very slow and when I tried to recycle the WiFi service, it turns on, but sees my WiFi as "out of range."

I am also getting more FC on stock apps. Browser crashes consistently when Incognito is selected.

Battery life is not good. I changed the CPU to OnDemand to see if that helps. I also have the OEM battery since day one. Not sure if it needs to be replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
for those with wifi issues, FC's or any other very minor items.......... think the main response will be re flash. reconnect wifi not a prob here and no FC's. it was a little slow going back o CWM, but I still followed a solid install procedure.

factory wipe 3 times

format system

flash rom

flash rom again

flash gapps

wipe cache

wipe davlk

boot and settle the 10.....................................

reboot again and set up

YATZEE!!!

good benchmark score, smooth and my phone looks refreshed. still have some things to try out but so far so good

thanks Jaime

another wise developer had stated once, that you can flash the same rom twice and get 2 different reactions. so he always flashes twice. since then I have done that myself and 99.9% of the time I have no issue. maybe its a placebo, but you cant argue with success.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hafridi:
Amazing ROM! I tried it yesterday and extremely fast and everything worked right out of the box! Keep up the good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Reboots and FC's? Haven't run into this...

Always running 1.89ghz ondemand
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TonyBigs:
I'm very impressed with this ROM.

What do people use for handwriting input or is that one of the caveats of any i717 ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
I see on demand setting but can't figure out what your reference is to 1.89.

It looks like the speed is based on what is needed at that moment rather than SETTING it.

Even so, I went to set the minimum to 1.89 but 1.89 was not one of the options.

What am I missing?

Thanx!

PS. I have not had any FC's or reboots recently but figured of YOU are running this I should be too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stimur:
No BT issues ?

I need to restart it time after time to re-enable BT ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
Depending what you need. I use Papyrus for handwriting. If you need OCR (handwriting recognition) then MyScript Stylus (Beta) works as a handwriting OCR keyboard. Your handwriting will be converted to text everywhere. It is free for now but will have price tag later.

You can download all of them from Google Play Store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TonyBigs:
Thank you! Actually, I was thinking about input for web searches. I guess I mean I'm looking for a pen-enabled browser.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] peterson65:
anyone had apps dissapear with this rom? i installed a pinball game and downloaded all the tables, played it and rebooted my phone hours after that and the program is gone? some other ones also are gone. they where not installed from the playstore but from stored apk files on the sd.

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cuchumino:
Thanks JaimeD81

This is so exciting with regards to stability of this ROM so far. Tested out BT, and relieved to see that it works. This would have been a dealbreaker as I need this for work when I'm deep in a datacenter.

I don't know what happened with all CM10 based i717 versions, but they all would be very unstable for me. Unuseable. I had reverted back to Padawan & Blackstar intermittently, but they both would inevitably get insanely slow within and a day and a half of use.

I've been using this version (p4) for 2 days, and it's running quite nicely. No random reboots, no artifacts spotted, no issues to the moment.

Again, thanks a lot! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
You can go to Settings -> Performance, or use Trickster MOD to set your CPU clock speed. Many will set the minimum to lowest possible, so that it would conserve battery when you are not using the phone. And 1.89 usually refers to the maximum settings. I have it at 1.89 as well with Ondemand.

Yes, XDA app disappears after a reboot. I just reinstall it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
MyScript Stylus (Beta) can be used anywhere, including but not limited to any browser. It behaves just as any other "keyboard". Install, activate , select it and use stylus for handwriting input. It will recognize your handwriting and convert it to text.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
I've repeatedly had the xda app disappear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Xda free likes to bugger off, xda premium seems to stick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] COA4178:
Lol sucks I dont got the premium app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
could always just go to app settings find xda app and move it from sdcard to phone ;)

this goes for any apps that are vanishing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] l330n:
Is there a way to get screenshot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TplusM:
p4 with Uber

okay this is kind of a new problem. When I make a phone call, everything's fine until the other person answers the phone and then all I hear is static. (Like connecting to the internet on a dialup modem). It goes away when I re-flash the modem and wipe cache. Has happened 2 times in 2 days.

I'm using the Telus modem (Telus Note ICS_Multiload) on Tmobile network. No connectivity issues otherwise and the reception is great too.

Anyone faced/currently facing this issue? does anyone have any suggestions? :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Same as always voldown+power
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wiltshire:
First of all, I would like to say this ROM is fantastic. I would like to thank you for your work on this ROM. It is very stable and I have been using it for almost a week or so. I've discovered while using P4 that YouTube videos will not load while playing in HD, if you disable HD then the videos will load as normal. I also discovered that while using the Twitch.tv app it will only play sound and no video will be displayed. These are very minor issues. I'm not sure if my flash was bad or not, but other than those two small issues it runs great! Great job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
camera is wonky, ill have it back up tomorrow!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wiltshire:
Awesome! How do I go about updating? Is it the same process when I installed P4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
just noticed camera is there but isnt, and installed ones dont work, ill have p5 back up tomorrow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wiltshire:
:laugh: glad you figured that out before I started flashing p5. Thanks for letting me know. I'll check back tomorrow for the new update :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Ooohhhh.. glad to see kill app with back button will be back...nowhere near an essential feature for me but one that I like to use and am greatful to have. I wonder if the ommision of the camera here and on patch's ROM last night means that they have been working on it and somehow got camcorder working?

Thanks again for bringing this to us Jamie..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
Does premium select the right post when replying the free version grabs the wrong one like 70% of the time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tobesedated:
I found that too but if I tap on the poster's name rather than the center of the post, it grabs the right one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] l330n:
Ok im stupid, i swear i tried that several times. Thanks for the reply to dumb question haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
I have the same issue with YouTube. I have no problems watching videos through Chrome though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nazcalito:
No problems with Youtube. the problem 2/ version 4 I have is that sometimes when the phone rings the screen won't turn on and I can't answer it, and also there is an intermittent problem with the power button. The rom is very good but that particular glitch is one of those things that could make it unsuitable for daily use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
most of us can run the rom fine daily, but not all phones are made equal, but having a slight pause after pushing the power button is a 8660-common wide issue, but its not really an "issue" as things still work fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
May I step in to say that p4 has been great for me. No phone static problems, no wake lag (even though that is probably a common problem among people now; use wheatley gov people), and as for youtube, just turn off hd and videos will play fine.

When p5 is back, I'll flash that as well, but for now I need xposed, so back to evervolv until then :) good work jamie
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nazcalito:
that's not what I am describing but that's okay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Slight pause is the only power button issue I'm aware of on this release, anything with the cm kernel has a bad wake lock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Mind sharing how you fixed libstagefright and the camera??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
Waiting patiently to take a crack at p5! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
camera is still broken, im having serious issues with my pc crashing in the last day so im finally forced to upgrade which in turn is a good thing, so wont be building for a few days
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
That's for the reply. I tried fixing the code and manage to create more errors. Fix those....You know how it goes...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clepperM:
I had thought "tomorrow" was today, but damn, I'm itching to get this p5 update. Loving the KitKat flavor from Jamie the man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Got the dreaded reboot today. In day 2 of running this ROM that feels like a comfortable pair of slippers. I think I just slammed a bunch of tasks at it at once. No biggie.

Only one thing perplexing me is that I can't get OC/UV settings to stick. Have to fiddle a bit more.

I like it Jaime, hope you get your new system up for P5 or full version. Can't be that far away from full blown, run as good as anything else here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NoNafs:
Running p4, no issues whatsoever. Using wheatley governer and not having wake up issues. Honestly, this rom is better than the CM10.2 rom, even soultakers version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
here is a link for a build i did just now, upgraded ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 and still getting issues but was able to get a full build, camera is still broken but you get a taste of whats happened in the last bit as far as merges go, ive been running without camera for a few days now and the builds are fine if you can live without the camera :P

Download

same as changes in post #2 but a few more things added aswell
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Well everyone, the computer that Jamie has used to build us all these great roms and kernels is on the fritz and needs to be rebuilt. Now would be a real good time to make a donation to him for all of his hard work for us! All donations large or small are good, they all add up. ;)

Having said all that, mine is on it's way. Confirmation 3XU99410NF0767444. Thank you Jamie for everything you've given us! :good:

Awesome preview BTW. Thanks.
