A backup and full wiping (data, cache, dalvik, factory reset......) is always the first step for me before flashing a new ROM or a build and this time was not an exception. ;) Also I let the phone to be stabilized after each flashing at least for 10 minutes after reboot.

Anyway, yesterday, I tried once again and this time I noticed those four buttons (menu, home, back, and search) didn't work properly. For example, tapping the home button didn't let me go to home and didn't do anything. Fast double tapping seemed to behave like a back button. I don't remember exactly how they worked, but other buttons behaved differently as well. I had to use the phone so I couldn't test any more and restored my phone.

Regarding the gapps, I'm using gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed which seems to be stable with the previous builds. Can anyone recommend a gapps that works properly with the latest build?

Thanks for your advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliah1:
I have using the latest build with google app everything is working and it more fast thant the stock version so far, i like the interface but my notification bar is not working i made all the changes in the menu but nothing on status bar , qnd the quick settings too never show up, i have only the notification light, then i have to go to every app to see what the information i have one by one. any one can help < Thanks a lot for this great rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
try restoring it to default and restart the phone and try again. If that doesnt work ill let the dev know in the tester hangouts. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
Thank you for all the work you put in to this.

I just recently flashed for the 1st time, and it was an exciting experience. The 1st time my flash didn't work because after I flashed then rebooted, I didn't wait long enough to go back in to twrp to flash the gapps. I waited for the bootanimation and then went back to twrp to flash gapps.

Of course it didn't work and it took me a minute to figure out that I was just being too impatient. :cyclops:

I am currently using the Candy5 release v3.2 and am loving it so far. I used the HDPI miniGAPPS -5.1.1-20150811.

The only problem I am having so far is that it is not showing my wifi 5G option and I cannot change the default option for my ringtone, alarm clock, and notifications. But I can live with that for now. (I think I click on one of the two options that said "ALWAYS"). Is there a way to change that without re-flashing?

And yes, I made Nandroid Backups before & after flashing, and also saved them on external devices, pc, usb flash etc. :laugh:

I just registered on this forum and this is my first post, just to say Thank you again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
Well I got my alarm, ringtone, notifications figured out and installed some new themes, but my web browser keeps crashing. I even tried a different browser. I also noticed at some point my APN was changed too. However my wifi 5G option is now showing. Also cannot install Facebook app.

EDIT UPDATE:

I was finally able to get the Facebook app to install but it took more than several attempts. I deleted all APN's except for the one for my carrier. I've had a few random reboots and my web browser still crashes. Upon reboot, it doesn't always save my wifi password.

I am still very thankful for this rom though. It breathed new life in to my Samsung Galaxy Note SGH i717, and now I feel like I have multiple phones all on one device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bowl2much:
I installed this about 36 hours ago as my DD. I had to use the gapps-mini linked in the first post to get the playstore.

Around the 24 hour mark, phone became very laggy and rebooted itself. Still did not work well after that reboot and I rebooted it again.

So far so good.

Battery life is good.

Bluetooth phone link to the car seems to work fine.

I feel like scrolling the list of apps in the app drawer is laggy. (that may just be me.)

Thanks to all of those working on this.

Thank you!

I have installed your ROM candy5-release.v2.5.6-20150626-OFFICIAL-quincyatt and I really enjoyed it! Great job!!!

I have only one issue - the volume level is too high (speaker is roaring at 100% level) and people on the receiving end hear echo of their voice.

So i have to reduce volume level to 33% (but echo still exists). In my previous ROM (official Android v.4.1.2 ) this level was equal to 100% volume.

How can I reduce the maximum volume level? Echo?

Thanks for the help!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
I am not sure about the volume issue, but I did have folks say there was a lot of echo on their end while I was using speaker phone. Maybe you can try the v3.2 release. Check the post #503 on page 51.

The only problems that I am having are a few random reboots, facebook app won't install/update. (I had it installed but then it wouldn't update so I uninstalled and cannot get it to install again). And several web browsers seemed to keep crashing.

I finally started using the firefox web browser and that seems to be the most stable for me. Is there a kernel upgrade that maybe fixes these issues or will it be addressed in a future rom release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Thank you kindly for your generosity and support for further development! It is very much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
I only tried this for a day so take this for what it's worth. I really like this ROM and the lollipop ROMs in general; however, this one also FC's on viewing video in apps/browsers. These little inconveniences are why I only remain on them for short amounts of time. Basic operations like phone calls, text operations, gallery viewing work well. Video recording works 90% of time for me with vibrating hardware interfering the other 10%. Keyboard works perfect now. That's about all I noticed. 08/10 release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nepotist:
Hey Gimmeitorilltell,

Do have a time frame for fixing the random freezes and reboots?

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Fresh build!!

We are still working every day on this. If you would like, I have several test builds on my AFH account & on candys AFH?

Here is a new build that I have tested for a day & 1/2. Seems to be going pretty good so far. https://basketbuild.com/devs/CandyRoms/quincyatt

Make sure to thank everyone involved for their extensive testing & long hours of working on this for free. There are several of us to mention but most are in my OP already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
This new build seems to be very stable. I flashed last night and have used it since and had no issue so far. :good::good::good:

Thank you so much for your hard work. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Also have fun with the updated Kernels :) , dont overclock them too much lol :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mariasnowhite:
I tried both the 9/3 and 9/4 build, but unfortunately I couldn't turn WiFi on.The 9/1 is the one I use right now and it rebooted a couple of times since. Battery life is great actually .

Thank you for working so hard to give us a stable ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I'm not sure which builds are which but the latest official build is 99.9% working and stable! I have several test builds out there so just be cautious of what you flash. I'll post working builds to the official download area. You have some test roms that you've been flashing.

Edit: I have ran the basket build 9-1 build since the day I built it and have not had one single reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Since I flashed the basket build 9-1 with HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20150819-signed linked in OP, it had worked pretty well until the day before yesterday, and some random closes of apps (especially when I scroll something in Chrome, Browser, and Gmail) and a few reboots have started yesterday. I wonder if this is due to the gapps I flashed. Which gapps do you use?

Thanks again for keeping this great rom updated. :good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Honestly I don't recall which gapps I use but they need updated. Every rom I flash I have to update play services. Lol Just make SURE that you do a CLEAN install. This latest rom has been SUPER STABLE for myself and a few others. I'll let you know what newer gapps I find that work for me but they may not work for you. It's kind of a hit & miss thing for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
I just now downloaded an updated gapps from the link in the OP, HDPI standard version instead of mini version this time. I'm going to use this combination for a few days. But I noticed something strange. 1) no notification/alarm sounds; 2) home button doesn't work. Tapping twice shows recent apps list and tapping home button once from here goes to home screen. There is settings for those buttons for long press and double taps, but no setting for single tap. What am I missing here?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
You are not missing anything. My source just needs a little love but with the kernel being such a pain, we have been focusing on stability lately. If you have been around flashing my builds in the past I'm sure you would agree that stability was a MUST at this point. Those should all be fixed up in my next builds BTW.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
First of all, I'd like to thank you for answering my not-very-important questions when you are busy with your own stuff AND developing/researching/fixing for better new builds.

You're absolutely right. I totally agree with you about higher priority on the stability of the rom. No doubt.

Last night, I tried and tested a little more with different gapps and without gapps. Without any gapps, the home button issue was still there. Among those gapps I tested, I think I finally found a working gapps and that's 240dpi version of HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20150902-signed. I'm not sure whether the home button issue is related to the gapps, but this gapps seems to fix the home button issue. Now single tap on the home button from any apps goes to home screen which makes sense to me.

Regarding the ringtone and notification sound issue, it seems those ogg files in the system folder are deployed after certain steps of setting up the system. I guess it's after I set up my google account, but not 100% sure.

Anyhow, it seems quite stable now without issues I mentioned earlier.

Thank you again for your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wihi48:
Whoa!

More stable than before! Thank to those people who are still continuing to work on this ROM :):good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] supertory:
Hey thanks for this awesome rom , love it so far

can someone please recommend like the optimal settings for performance and battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
I've been running this for a couple days now! Great stable ROM and pretty good battery life! I don't know about the home button issue my home button works as it should!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
I am running the latest version 3.5 with the hdpi gapps 9/02/15 and am still getting random reboots. Also having problems getting Facebook installed/updated. When a YouTube video is played through the Facebook app, it freezes and crashes. Sometimes it forces a reboot. I look forward to future updates. I love the Candy5 ROM so far through.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Let me check and upload my latest to the official link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Version 3.6 now live! check this build for stability. I've ran it almost two days without a single reboot. candy5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
Is the candy OTA working for updates, or do I need to flash fresh and start over installing apps again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
The ota is working so long as the build you're currently running was from the official download page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
Hi, installed latest build on my new old i717 and I like what I see so far.

I have a question though, whenever I'm on google on either internal browser or chrome searching for stuff, screen looks garbled in some part, is it expected behavior for now? I tried to look through the thread but my choice of words didnt bring much to table.

I tried it on 9/1 build and 9/6 build and both were the same.

Oh, and can I use tmobile radio with this rom? I guess I should be able to but wanted to be sure...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
I got the 9-8 build installed as well. So far, so good. I like that airvoice was listed as an app.

calls and Internet data seem to be working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
That sounds like something wrong with your device or you didn't wipe it clean before installation? Nobody has ever had visual issues with any browser. The T-Mobile radio on this device is not something that I'm familiar with but I would guess should be fine to run considering that is the radio used to unlock the SIM. Try at your own risk or do more research tho, don't take my word on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
first of all, thank you for answers.

I believe I did wipe procedure correctly but will describe how I did it to make sure.

In twrp, I picked "wipe" then proceeded to advanced wipe and then picked dalvik cache, cache and system.

Then i went back to previous menu and did factory reset.

After that, i flashed rom, rebooted, waited until launcher came up, restarted into twrp and then flash gapps, rebooted again.

as a matter of fact, i'm redoing it as I'm typing.. :) going to wait and see if it does that again...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
In the older roms my web browser would crash all the time, but that seems to have been fixed now. I have not experienced any graphic issues with the browser.

I did notice that the speaker phone echo issue still exists. All in all though, I am pleased to see this moving along in the right direction. I have been using this as my daily driver.

It looks really cool with the Material Glass Theme installed, but use the default icons & text.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
Browser looks fine when it first loads up but starts acting up when you scroll up and down repeatedly and eventually hangs and crashes browser. I tried to upload screenshot from it but I'm having hard time just to navigate into this thread with it.

I guess it can be my phone but everything else seemed fine....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Try another browser like chrome or opera. The stock browser has always been bugged, at least on this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
Chrome is also doing this in some extent but it at least lets me read XDA. :)

I attached few screenshot to show you what it looks like.

And I will now go and try opera...

Thanks again for answering petty questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
That looks like a half dirty wipe. Are you sure the device is an SGH-I717?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
I doubt it'd even have booted if it was anything else. I just checked the back to make sure and it is i717. :(

If you dont mind spending a little more time on this, can you please tell me what I missed when I did the flashing?

Heres what i did/wrote 2-3 posts ago;
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
1) Wipe everything Cache,Dalvik,Data and system.

2 Flash rom

3 FLash gapps (make sure its 5.1 or 5.1.1)

4 Reboot system and enjoy

There shouldnt be an issue.

If you're using chrome, dont use dev or beta. Just use the official chrome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
Yea did just that after last post and it did NOT help unfortunately. It makes me wonder if I've missed a step elsewhere, like some I should do before coming from stock 4.0.4, etc.

Anyways, I appreciate everyone tried to help. I guess I just have a dud on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] danstr15:
The other option may be to disable hardware overlays in developer options, not sure if that is still a solution for the odd person with graphical issues like it was in past roms...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview&hl=en

Should fix the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] figuremania:
I tried it and no unfortunately for me it did not work.

tried this too. No......

I just flashed beanstalk 4.4.4 to see how this phone fares, and there is no problem displaying stuff so I'm really stumped as I like LP better.

I did the cache, dalvik and system wipe, installed, let it do it thing but I am getting a message now trebuchet is not responding and the phone does not load the main screen. any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
I downloaded over the air. I installed over the existing Candy 5. I am now runningrelease.v3.6-20150908-OFFICIAL. So far stable with excellent battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
If you want a stable build, Please use this build https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807746 . (that build shouldnt have issues with trebuchet )

The rest of the C5 builds aren't that good because some C5 builds after v3.5-20150904 do have some issues whereas wifi isnt working, SODs, RRs etc. Some of those builds are for beta testing. [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION] [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] are working tremendously hard to make Quincyatt, SkyRocket and Hercules more stable and fast. As you can see on c5 and pac builds, we're able to tweak CPU, CPU Hotplug,Thermal and CPU Voltage, thanks to [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] :)

You can use these builds as you like, as advised by the developer, but proceed with caution :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
That had all been incorporated into my builds for a while now. Once in every few test builds it may get overlooked but no need to select the HW overlays any more. Thanks for the input tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
I am using Nova Launcher as it has worked better for me on this phone is the past. Trebuchet just seems to get slower and sluggish over time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wingzero:
I flashed the gapps but there's no Playstore. Is there anything I need to flash besides the gapps. to get playstore? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blahforme:
Did you wipe dalvik/cache/system/data, then flash the Rom, then reboot the system and wait until it loads, then you can go back in to twrp and flash the gapps? Also make sure you are using the correct gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wingzero:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I followed every steps from the op and downloaded the gapps from the first post. Other than that, everything runs very smooth. Went back to kk for now until I could find the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
Been running the 9-08 build for about a week and it's been solid for me to use as a daily driver. Occasional random reboots but not worse than the March build l was running. Doesn't feel sluggish too.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Here is my update.

I had used 9/1 build with occasional (a couple of times a day) reboots until 9/8 build was released. Normally I use CWM 6.0.4.7 but I wanted to try TWRP 2.8.7.0 to see if it solves the reboots and close out of some apps like Gmail probroblems. So I did. But the reboots seemed to be more frequent than before. And then I decided to format the SD completely in addition to basic+dalbik wipes before flashing the new build. It seemed to be fine, but I woke up in the middle of that night due to loud noise that the phone vibrated and reset continuously so I had to remove the battery. I don't know why but TWRP has never worked for me since I started flashing my i717 with a few dozen different roms. So I flashed CWM back and restored my phone with previous build and used it until yesterday when CandyOTA notified me that there was a new build which is 9/8 build. I was curious what would happen if I let it download the build and flash by its automated process without wiping. So I did.

You know what? For over 24 hours now, there was no single reboot and it's working much smoother than ever. I will keep using it and update if I find anything.

Thanks again for keep this great rom updated. The last build rocks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NoSpamDan:
Try TK Pico GApps

That's been working perfectly on my Slim and Candy Skyrocket builds... I think Hercules too.

How can I disable the second microphone, because a interlocutor hears an echo?

I wrote about this before - click
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
Ditto, whenevr I use the microphone on a call or receiving a call, the person to whom I am speaking always complains of a bad echo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rambo90:
In the stock ROMs and in the nonstock ROMs including Android 4.4 there were settings for disabling noise suppression - settings/call/additional settings/noise suppression

But in the Android 5.0/5.1 there are no such item in the settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rambo90:
And I want say that I have a few reboots per day - during the call, during scrolling sms list, etc.

Also there is a trouble with answering the incoming call - the screen is off, so I cant tap the button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
There will be a delay in development. Developer is currently focusing on making our Quincy more stable and smooth, and hes aware of the issues, such as screen delays , RR's and lags And hes also currently cooking up a surprise for us ;). please enjoy all of his great roms on AFH, until he uploads more builds soon .. Im looking into some alternatives that will speed aka unlag our phones. There was one but, seems to work for a while and goes back laggy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward to the new build. I'm using 3.6 build as my daily driver. It still closes email (gmail too), browser (so I'm using Chrome instead, but Chrome also closes sometimes when scroll), Pinterest and other apps. It reboots once in a couple of days. I happened to find a newer build, 3.7 from here and tried it too. It seemed much more stable at first but after a couple of days, it started doing reboots and closes, too. So I re-flashed the 3.6 build again two days ago and there was only one reboot so far.

By the way, one thing I also noticed from recent few builds is when I use GPS with Osmand for navigation, it often lose GPS signal even though while I'm driving on a wide open highway. And the phone gets very hot. I know it's normal to get hot when you use GPS, but it seems much hotter than with other ROMs.

Again, thank you all who keep working on making this ROM for i717 better and better. :good::good::good:
