Yes most bugs are gone now. When kitkat first became available on this device it was iffy and hit or miss on every other phone. Now things have settled down quite a bit. The video camera is probably the biggest issue now. It has about a ten seconds lag before it starts. Give it a try for yourself and checkout the candy Sweeney pack 1 only. You MUST use twrp recovery for the pack.

How do you get the mutli widows to work?

Sent from my SGH-T889 now Free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
I just figured it out. Open both apps u want open then long press home and long press on app and select add to split view. If u have more than two apps running swipe the others so that only the two u want split are running. Enjoy. Best ROM so far with least problems!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juju2011:
Kk cool thx for the reply I'll give it a whirl on the weekend
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joydeepm08:
Hello. I have been using CandyKat with all the sweetener packs for last 4-5 days and have noticed random reboots twice....No idea why though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
I... didn't even know there was multi-window in this ROM... Amazing!

This rom is closest to perfect I've ever seen any 4.4+ get! Only a few little inconveniences that aren't deal-breakers! Keep up the good work! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joydeepm08:
I did this. But can't seem to get the split view. Add to split view and nothing happens.??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
I have no issues. Sorry I can't help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skearton:
Did you disable HALO? I think you can only use one or the other.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
You are correct my friend. I think I brain farted that fact! Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Lmao! Don't be stinking up the Rom thread now! Lol jk so everything is working in multi view now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
For the most part. Scrolling still doesn't let me go all the way to the end of page but Meh no biggy. Thanks for this ROM! The only one I've used that doesn't have a lot of issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Are you talking about scrolling in multi view or when? And thanks for the kind words.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
I've noticed it in multi view as well. Not all the time though but I don't use it all the time either but is pretty cool to have it if needed. Thanks for all the work you and the team put into this rom. By far the smoothest, fastest and best I have yet to flash when it comes to 4.1-4.4 roms.:good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Yessir. In multi view. I don't really use it that much to whine. Any tips on how to get better battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Which build are you running? The uber build has plenty of governors to play around with and the stock kernel build does pretty good for me but I use this phone as a backup more than anything these days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
I don't want to hijack the candy thread with other questions so sorry/thanks in advance :)

Any chance you would be willing to offer your updated uber as a flashable zip (maybe for polluti0n's aroma)?

Thanks for your effort, candy is a piece of art :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joydeepm08:
Thanks. Works now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
By no means are you hijacking candykat :) I really didn't plan on supporting uber unless I compile with my rom, sorry but I have enough threads that keep me busy. If I ever get a new pc then I will be able to do alot more. This old dual core just can't keep up with me. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Running build with uber. Any advice on how to get best battery life with it? From anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I have mine set to 1512 max, 384 min with the Interactive Governor and bfq I/O Scheduler currently running 8 hours with 90% left on the battery. Now before we jump to conclusions, This phone is always on & activated but it is NOT my DD and really only gets used for testing, gaming, & the kids homework. Today has been a fairly easy day on it. You can mess with the settings in trickster mod for the gov, I try not to run the max of 1820 for to long tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Do I have to use trickster or can I just adjust in settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Some camera issues. ( fc on trying different settings options-power shutter). Camcorder still has long pause before starting. Is the video patch already integrated?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
No the patch is not included. I messaged the dev that made our patches to discuss adding his patches into source so that all devs will have it in their builds. Until then we need to keep using the patch. Maybe if we team up, the pause in video recording can be squashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
My bad I missed this somehow. You can set it any way that allows you to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xxflyingarmbarxx:
Flashed the 1.3 build finally...gonna have to revert back to 1.2 though :( I can't adjust my apn settings which is a must due to being on AIO. Everytimd I try it just force closes and tells me it stopped working. Between that and the 1-3 second delay on trying to get certain things to work I might have to wait for 1.4

As always keep up the good work and am looking forward to my next flash of candy goodness
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Like others, flashing 4.4 ROMs (including this one) fails with no hints. I am using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and tried flashing 2.7.0.0 fails as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Twrp 2.7.0.0 is the only tw recovery that will flash kk ROMs besides cwm's latest will also work. Have you grabbed the recoveries I have in post #3? If you've tried them and failed every time, it's definitely something with your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
I tried flashing TWRP 2.7.0.0 from their site but it failed 3 times. So what's the difference between the one you posted and the one on TWRP's official site?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
There's won't flash kk roms. I have a couple builds of it on my afh account. I just had some feedback that restoring a nandroid isn't working from my latest but all my versions will flash kk. All will restore except maybe the latest as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
I see, sounds like a work in progress then. Thanks for the inputs, I'll keep an eye on new updates and improvements.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
It's not a work in progress, it's very much a working build! That was feedback and I can't recreate the error that the user reported to have gotten.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juju2011:
Hey dude [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION] good job flashed ROM last night and no prob so far running great keep up the good work :beer::thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
No offense intended in my last post. I appreciate the work you put into this build :good:. For those of you that have this ROM running with no issues, enjoy. For us that didn't have any luck flashing this ROM, wish us the best so we can figure out the problem and fix it. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Can you give more details of any errors you're getting? Did the flash fail from my twrp recovery or cwm recovery? Those are currently the only two recoveries able to flash android 4.4 on this device. We can get ya setup if we have some more info. No offense taken from the other post. I just don't want users to think it's a half a$$es recovery because it is very much working is all. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juju2011:
Hmm phone seems to have stopped going into deep sleep :/ any clue on how I can get it back [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION] or anyone for that matter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I'm not sure but I have seen false reports about deep sleep before showing incorrectly. Maybe try another app to check for better stats. I believe better battery stats should work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
No way man, everyone here knows that the devs (such as yourself) drop some serious candy and when it's fully cooked. However, not all phones will benefit from the sugary goodness :D...

I did not try your TWRP 2.7, but tried flashing the official one which failed. So I tried flashing your ROM using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and there wasn't much of an error message except (<ROM NAME> failed to flash) or a similar message with no details of why it failed. But that's irrelevant now since the ROM can only be flashed using your TWRP version. I'll give it a try later on and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Yeah you need to use mine because the official will not flash kk currently. All versions I've compiled and shared here work. The reason I have a few is just trying to work out some bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Flashed latest sweetener and it doesn't have some of the options that the other ones had. Should I flash separately or will other versions work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Went ahead and flash your version of TWRP then the ROM and finaly flashed without errors. Let the testing begin :D.

By the way, what features do the sweetners add to the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
It adds lockrings, scrubbers, halo images, and etc...

Other versions will still work as long as it's sweetener pack one. The other packs are for phones with different hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juju2011:
Yah I got it, it was the gov all is well now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joydeepm08:
Amazon app and Candy Crush saga incompatible with the Rom? Any fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Are u using ART
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joydeepm08:
DALVIK!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Is it just not available in the market? Try downloading it from apkgalaxy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kefs:
Modem?

Rom works great except I'm having the same using i was having on JamieD81's KitKat rom.. all my calls are 'Unknown'. I've now realized that the Baseband in my Settings > About Phone is set to 'UNKNOWN' which I'm sure is related based on some searches I did. I can't seem to find any info on a flashable 4.4+ modem for the i717 tho..

Is no one else experiencing this? I can't be the only one..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
For kit kat ROMs u want to use jellybean radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youngunix:
Just flashed the CandyKat ROM and no issues (so far). Try it again and see if it helps and make sure you wipe everything before you do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juju2011:
I had that problem but it was because i flashed a diff radio by accident try flashing your carriers radio or a ROM based on your carriers firmware it should fix the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I have a copy of the mk3 modern I believe it is. It's the at&t radio but I used it for straight talk and it worked great. If you need a link let me know and I'll post one if you can't find it here. I think I found it in the thread about free sim unlocking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kefs:
SOLVED!

It was absolutely my radio.. After backing up, and flashing the Jellybean i717R radio from this thread, my baseband was no longer UNKNOWN, and I received 2 calls and both have come in with Call Display.

Thanks for the help! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
That's great news! Thanks for sharing with us too. I'm sure another user has or will run into the same issue at some point :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
So I've tested out all the governors and still getting horrible battery life with moderate use. CPU settings is 512 min and 1.5 max.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
I'd have to say that my battery life is much shorter with most kitkat ROMs compared to ....let's say an older 4.0.4 ROM. But I generally run more toys on my kitkat phone so it makes sense to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I'm getting great battery life! Not one complaint and even tho I do not use the phone as a daily driver all the time, I do use it a couple days a week. However my battery is only a month old and its nothing special, just stock replacement. I can run almost two days running the uber kernel, playing games, and some YouTube.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
How stable is Bluetooth on this Rom, I've been curious to try multi window, but stable bt it's important, before using aokp, no kk Rom i had used seemed able to connect more than once Or twice before needing a reboot.Is candy in that same boat?

Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
Can't really say anything for audio, but I haven't been able to use Bluetooth tethering reliably using candy. To my understanding, this is a Kit Kat issue in general. I read that the next big patch from Google has this in mind as well as the camera thread / battery drain bug.

Someone else might have more info regarding Bluetooth audio performance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Wish they'd release that patch already. Lol my only issue is the battery drain tho since I don't use bt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Roism:
Would you mind posting the link to Mk3 Radio. I am also on Straight Talk but not getting the speed I want with their LTE sim with the current radio UCLF6 so would like to see if its better with the MK3 radio.

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I was a little off on the actual name of the radio, it's MD3 that I use, just typed in the wrong name. Anyways HERE is a link to JamieD81 radio file that I use without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Roism:
Thank You my Kind Friend

Regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
So I just switched to straight talk. Anyone using this ROM on straight talk what's the best radio and APN settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I had good luck using the radio I linked above and the apn settings from straight talks website. I'm pretty sure xda had the same apn settings floating around as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Are u getting lte? What's your speeds look like?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Venomtester:
http://d-h.st/anO a few wallpapers for you guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Thank you much! I'll check these out and share them with the team.

I'm no longer with straight talk now. It's been about 7 or 8 months since I've been with them but my speeds were good. I'll see if I can find a screenshot when I was with them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
So I finally activated this phone. On straight talk and apn was already set. It won't let me change apn or network type for lte cuz settings crashes. How do I do it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
The apn settings crash is a bug that our team has been working on. It has happened in every build for every device we have built for. We're hoping to have this squashed very soon so we can push another update to fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
Is it me or there's no developer options in this ROM (or even kk overall)... Was looking to disable screen overlay due to screen flickering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mar5hal:
Settings/about phone/tap build number 7 times. Voila. You are a developer ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
lol what da?? well it works! Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
I think I might of found a bug where the homescreens randomly disappear... (all widgets and homescreens are removed)... like *pooof* they all gone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
That'll happen sometimes. I've only noticed it while using ART over dalvik cache. If using ART switch back to dalvik and u should no longer have that issue. If using dalvik I suggest a fresh wipe and install. Good luck and enjoy the best 4.4 rom available for our still dope device. Thanx gimme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
Ive been running on Dalvik from scracth (full wipe before flash). I'll wide cache and see if it still happens.

Still enjoying this great ROM :) Thanks !

CandyKat-v1.3.1-20140405-quincyatt.zip

OP updated with CandyKat-v1.3.1-20140405-quincyatt.zip! Changelog updated as well, Enjoi!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
^^^ uber too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Not yet but it will be compiled soon :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
You the man! This device is awesome because your work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sakibchy:
camera and camcorder work ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Haven't had them issues so I would assume they do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
I'm experiencing a lot of random device reboot, especially while using 3D apps or during heavy CPU usage. Any suggestion on how to know exactly why this is happening? (i.e. phone logs?) Id gladly share the info if this can help!

Meanwhile, looking forward that new uber release :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
CandyKat-Uber-v1.3.1-20140406-quincyatt.zip

What recovery are you using & did you do a FULL wipe or just a standard one? A log would probably help if you can get one as the reboot is toggled.

Well wait no longer my friend! Here is the latest CandyKat/Uber rom! OP updated also. Enjoi! Link is HERE as well....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonkpils1769:
Been away from flashing for a while. I just flashed the latest version that includes the kernel and I'm having some pretty bad lag issues along with a lot of random reboots. I tried reinstalling a few times and yes I'm doing full wipes I am also using a T-Mobile radio bcuz i use straight talk tmo sim. Any tips?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
I also am javing reboots on non uber build. Downloading new uber build but it also seemed like my radio was very weak. One bar in places I'd usually have full.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
I did a full wipe since I was moving from the stock ROM and i'm using the latest CWM (6.0.4.3). I also disabled any OC to rule out that possibility which did reduce the occurrence but not completely. From my reading across XDA, the issue seems to be related to battery management in the kernel. I'd say its quite possible since most reboots happen when leaving the phone plugged at full charge (every 15-20mins or so).

I'll be more then happy to PM you the logs if you can first direct me to a how-to guide to retrieve them.

And thanks for the new release :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I would first like you to try an updated recovery HERE so that you can get the proper wipe for kitkat. If you prefer cwm I believe the latest is 6.0.4.7 and that can be found in my 3rd post HERE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
I'll do that np! I recommend you edit your initial post as it mentions "Boot into recovery (the latest cwm ONLY)" unless its still necessary for some reason!

anyhow, i'll run on the new release using latest TWRP from a full wipe for a little while and grab the logs with adb if necessary :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Thank you! When I first made this thread cwm was the only recovery capable of flashing kitkat. OP fixed :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
I'm using your newest twrp and still having reboots and such even after full wipes and still seems the radio is weak. Idk if that's just me seeing it but I thought I'd mention it. Havent tried user build yet but will do when I can be without phone for a while. Being on call sux.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
You may have to try a few different radios to see what works the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
I was understanding that only jb radio works with kk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
I did as instructed so im running the latest TWRP on clean install. So far so good! I think I might of figured out what was not working previously: I was using SuperSU and download BusyBox instead of using the built in version. Makes sense to me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Hey gimme I hate to be that guy but have u considered adding BLN? Or is it incorporated and just not working for me? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Nah man don't be shy in asking! I'm not quite sure what BLN is anyways. I have heard about it tho. Maybe a kernel or governor? I'm open for suggestions to make this Rom/phone the best I can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
All I know about it is from the bean stalk forum. I believe Its for using the bottom button lights for notification since our phone lacks notification led.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I'll look into it but it may not be supported any longer. I will send patch_Adams a message. He is probably more familiar with bln than I am.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Awesome. You rock!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
BLN (Button Light Notification) is exactly what was said: using the bottom four capacitative button lights as notification LEDs. It's an awesome feature which I miss the most!

Unfortunately, it's incorporated at the kernel level. I know that Jamie is no longer able to keep that feature in UBER since 4.4... Not exactly sure why, but I trust Jamie when he says kernel level stuff :) . Could check the last few pages of his UBER thread...

Maybe another kernel could have it? But that would mean having to integrate another kernel into the ROM... Or at least making sure it's compatible to flash separately...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Thanks, that's why I said it was probably no longer supported because I read that in Jamie's kernel thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Well if u do find the time to attempt it ill be glad to test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I posted to Patch_Adams & he is currently working on a kernel with BLN support. We'll see what becomes of his build whenever it's finished up but I'd be glad to give a hand if he needs it. Seems like he is doing a pretty good job so far :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Awesome! Thank you and patch!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
Oh man! I really hope this comes through, having BLN again would be awesome! Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JulioQc:
I agree BLN would be a sweet feature added to the phone :good:

The new release is still running flawless on my device :D except maybe for one basic feature: no more vibrate?? I checked around the settings and its still there along with mute and normal but when activating "vibrate", well it just goes on mute :eek:

Anyone else noticed this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I had not noticed that & I even put my phone on mute last night. Thought something was odd but I was tired & didn't pay alot of attention. Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Same here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
Question, I am still on the build before the newest I think it's 1.3 3/17 or something. The issue is for some reason I am not getting pic msg's. Not just one person either, it's been 3 so far. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rruleford:
Maybe wrong apn?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonkpils1769:
Think I may be having a radio issue? When I'm on WiFi i have basically no issues with lag or reboots, but when I go on mobile data my phone goes a little crazy. I'm using a T-Mobile ICS radio. Any ideas on which radios work best with kitkat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonkpils1769:
That's the radio I'm using. I've used it multiple times on other various devices, but I moved to windows for a while. Just came back to android and this is my first time running kitkat
