Excellent !!

Been testing this rom, everything works great thanks [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION]. !!
[MENTION=2656469]beenkenobee[/MENTION] Ive used Viper 4 android 5.0 its been great, suggest you check it out ?, before downloading viper, disable Audio fx first.

Musix is a good music app doesnt crash.

For gapps make sure its 5.1 not 5.0 gapps ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sd2000:
First I wanted to say I am using TWRP 2.8.3.0 by gimmeitorilltell.

I am starting fresh so while I am in the Recovery I moved my Backups to my PC then I formatted my sd card and deleted every thing from the internal storage(did not format). Next I moved candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150407-OFFICIAL-quincyatt to the external sd card along with gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed and 5.1.x-20150324-google-app-v4.3.10.88581490.arm-signed . Then I eject both cards and unplug then unmount. Still in the mount area I Disable MTP. Now it is time to wipe first I do a factory reset. Next I go to Advanced Wipe and check everything except MicroSD card wipe then finally Format Data type "yes" then I reboot to recovery. Then I install candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150407-OFFICIAL-quincyatt , then Wipe cache/dalvik then since I have found that if I don't do the Gapps before the first boot then "Ok Google" won't work Properly. Now I flash gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed then 5.1.x-20150324-google-app-v4.3.10.88581490.arm-signed. Now I wipe the cache/dalvik one more time and reboot.

This install did something different it came up with a screen saying "Activating Cellular Service" Then it said "could not find SIM Card" so I did not go any farther. I shut down and took out the battery and waited for one minute. Still Sim not found. So I went ahead and let Google restore my apps via WiFi. Then I flashed my radio again(SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem). When I rebooted I had service and everything installed.

I checked viewing a video in the Browser and it plays for 5 seconds and crashes the Browser. 'Ok Google" is fast and working good. I was trying to compose an e-mail by speaking and it would say "Google App stopped working." It is very fast and no spontaneous reboots as of yet. I also noticed that even though I wiped everything, I checked the recent apps and there were two webpages and song pop and movie pop from yesterday and I don't know how it survived wiping an re-installing.

As a side note on the 5.0 version I found out that there was a bad memory leak. I found this video http://www.xda-developers.com/fix-lollipop-memory-leak-xda-xposed-tuesday/ and I subsequently installed the app and it was working perfectly no problems at all. I am going to see if restoring from my TWRP Nandoid back up will have any effect on it's stability.

Excellent work Very fast battery usage was not as good as the previous but that is to be expected due to performance being super charged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blitzrk:
This has also basically been my experience with 5.1 beta.

Only major problem is that cell connection comes and goes. I have AT&T, but it always says No Service on the lock screen, even if I have full bars. Also, it takes forever after booting to acquire initial signal. Not sure if this is why, but not quite as good battery as before. Then again performance is much better and it never freezes up like it did in 5.0, so that's totally worth it to me. And the battery life is still much better than 4.4.4.

I use GPMusic, so that's fine for me. I haven't tried out bluetooth yet. ADB still only works from TWRP. I enabled debugging, but when I connect to the computer it never shows the icon on the phone nor shows up in `adb devices`.

I'll edit this post as soon as I try out your new build. Thanks so much for making this ROM, gimmeitorilltell!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidNewbie :):
What's the best version? I have very very very slow internet connection and I can't download all the builds. So can anyone please suggest? Thank you, mates. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
This build has not been out long enough to get any ideas on the battery life. A new build may take 2 or 3 days to get settled in and provide actual battery usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stackser345:
any fix for connection to computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidNewbie :):

Is it normal? Thank you.

super buena esta rom

va bastante genial solo tengo un problema y es que el movil se me reinicia pense que con esta actualizacion a 5.1 iban a resolver ese problema porque lo vengo teniendo desde la 5.0 solo tengo ese problema lo demas esta super bn por favor areglen ese fallo porque esta actualizacion me encanta
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
This is very well noted & mentioned in many places!

I am not aware of no service, just that it was cutting in & out. Does No Service sound normal to you? If you are not sure then maybe it's time to move along? That seems like a childish question to ask anyone!

This is very well noted & mentioned in many places! Also there are plenty of other roms to try before you give a short, un useful reply to my thread. Or there is stock roms too.

TRANSLATE:

5.1 is ONLY going to introduce new bugs! That is the name of the game when a rebase occurs. Things will get worked out in time as I have priorities that are larger than this android demand. lol Gotta feed the kids ya know. Did you do a "Clean install" or restore any apps? If so try clean flash without restoring anything for a day or so to see if you still get the reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipeedalil:
I don't know if this ROM uses the same source as the beanstalk version but the USB connection works fine on that one... You might try to enable USB debugging to see if that gets it working... [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION] keep up the good work these ROMs are fantastic considering this device is a few years old now. Thank you for all that you do for us flash addicts.

Hi. Phone isn't connected to a network. What do I do not correctly? candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150407 and GApps Minimal Edition 2015-04-04 for Android 5.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Avantiel:
First boot of this 5.1 Candy, i'm getting no service. It came in and out a few times but only lasted a few seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] katipo:
Pretty solid ROM!

Took the 5.1 version from the first post for a spin for a few days. First of all - a HUGE thanks to everyone responsible for this - it's awesome! It's very stable. Maybe slightly quicker than the 5.0 version but I haven't measured this in any way, and it's totally subjective. LatinImeGoogle.apk is missing from /system/lib so swype gestures don't work on the keyboard (you can google that filename and put the file there yourself with ES File Manager / Root Explorer or whatever and get the keyboard working. After a reboot it takes about 10 minutes to acquire the mobile network. Seems fine after that but always says "No Service" on the lockscreen. Couldn't get the gapps file from the link to work - it's too big and only some of the google apps end up installing (and usually not play store). I Googled "Android 5.1 gapps" and downloaded a minimal one that pretty much just included the play store. Once you have that, you can just download the google apps you want individually. There's not a lot of System ROM space, so if you can use an alternative to a google app you may be better off (I deleted the gallery app from the system ROM area and downloaded quickpic to replace it). "OK Google" doesn't work, but I've read in other posts that it will if you flash the ROM and then the GAPPS before first boot. As mentioned in previous posts, USB connect is broken, so I'm transferring files wirelessly using AirDroid.

I have a big favour to ask of the devs - I used to use the sshfs app to mount folders from my home computer remotely. I could then view pictures, play music, watch videos etc from my home PC from anywhere in the world. That app is broken for Lollipop, but there is a way of building the functionality into a cyanogen based ROM. The page is here:

h**p://github.com/l3iggs/android_external_sshfs

I'm pretty inept when it comes to this sort of thing - any chance this could be added to a future release of this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gathithow:
Yes, that problem is general on all devices, the bug comes from CM source code so there's nothing to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JosGera:
Wifi problem, No service problem

Hi, I'm new here.. I have two problems, first the wifi disconnects randomly, I connect to the wi-fi network and after a couple of minutes disconnect and connect to mobile data. This on candy5-Release.v1.5.2-20150329-OFFICIAL-quincyatt.

The second is the no service problem of all. On candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150407-OFFICIAL-quincyatt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Every rom uses different source, that's what makes them different. For the most part they are "Based" on Cyanogenmod. I've yet to get to the bottom of this just yet, but I will figure it out, soon I'm hoping.

Exactly! This is just a new bug introduced by 5.1 and should be cleared up fairly quickly I would assume.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Folks I figured out the mounting to the PC issue and it WILL be fixed in my next Candy5 build! Be patient and I'll upload as soon as I have the opportunity to do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blazingcherub:
Could anyone please explain is 5.0 more stable now than 5.1 or there's no difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I've done some more kernel work so 5.1 well be faster and smoother. Best to wait for my next build tho so that your device will mount to the PC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NoSpamDan:
[MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] might have fixed it in SlimLP for the OnePlus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
New build uploading now!

This should be finished soon folks & I have fixed PC mounting!!! The md5sum should be "09a820d9c13acdeccd041eb8940df305" just make sure it's the same. I may not have time to verify the sum so I'll just drop it here for ya'll.. ENJOY!!

The new build is named "candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150412-OFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steve adams:
I am having some issues. I had a hard time getting the play store on my phone. Then, after flashing both the rom and Gapps minimal that was mentioned earlier, My google play services do not work and keep crashing. The only way to make the phone useable is disable google play services.

any ideas on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steve adams:
got it. I used another apps rom and it workd!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sd2000:
So the minimal gapps did not work or are you telling us you used a different ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Sometimes you just need to play around until you find the gapps that work for your device. Not all devices are the same, even tho they are all SGH-I717, they still have differences. I sort of left it open about which gapps to use since not everyone can use the same ones.

He used a different set of gapps. If you're having playstore issues then find & flash a few different "minimal" gapps until you find some that work for you.

I do plan on repartitioning my device to make room for more app & gapp data packages. If/when I do this I will post a thread on how to. Hopefully this will allow us to be able to use any & all gapps we desire? I have a pit file from, I believe the quincy t-mobile version which should be the same as ours. I just have not had time to mess with it at all. Hopefully I don't brick my device in trying this but it should be worth it if I can fix them up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Stupid question here. What pit file did you need exactly? Can't Heimdall download one from our phone and can this be used? I was just poking around this bbqlinux and was trying out some of the included tools. Uploaded my extracted pit to the Jenkins "analyze your pit file" online tool to see what was in this thing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sd2000:
I feel kinda dumb that I did not realize what you needed gimmeitorilltell. I have what I call my rescue image and it flashes the pit file in Odin. This Tar ball flashes everything from radio to partitions. I could PM you a link to it in my G drive if you would like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steve adams:
Anyone else having excessive battery drain on this rom? I unplugged my phone at 845 am and its 11:10 am now and im down to 72. IM also getting a lot of force closes on this rom.

Would pack man be a better rom to use for these issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I think the post below may have what I need. It's the partition image that Odin flashes.

Yes that is exactly what I'm looking for! I'll check my pm later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sonebwood:
I have exceeded 40 hours of uptime with this ROM having the phone in "paperwieght" mode, i.e. no radios on, minimal user interaction and only the ROM system running. Not very useful as a phone in this mode, but my point being that the ROM, by itself, doesn't appear to be a battery hog. However, when a radio is turned on (I only use WIFI on the I717 with Candy5) it appears to be a heavier drain that with the stock ROM. I have experienced no force closes that I recall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steve adams:
I am on WiFi only and I get 1 percent battery drain every 5 min. Also, google store closes by itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blitzrk:
Just upgraded from the first version of the 5.1 ROM to the latest (4/12) and yay! ADB and MTP! Also it says the carrier instead of "No Service" even when there's service. Everything else seems about the same so far. Fast, good battery, great selection of features. Once there's an upstream fix for the cell acquisition time, this will be the absolute perfect ROM.

Thanks again gimmeitorilltell!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chn110:
Thanks very much for building all the great ROMs! The 5.1 build was working great for me. The only issue I noticed is that SIP phone calls using the built-in dialer not working. In all the 5.0 based builds it all worked fine. BTW I installed pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip it works w/o problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
I have been trying different ROM for my i717. Most of the recent ROMS seem to be built on CM12 which has some problems. One of the problems is bluetooth share failures which fails when I try to use hands free in my vehicle.

I have opted to go back to candy5-Release.v1.0.1-20150226-OFFICIAL-quincyatt which appears to be based on an earlier CM release which has a few bugs but the bluetooth works reliably. There are a few reboots after disconnecting from an incoming call. I haven't been able to reliably repeat the crash.

I even tried cm-12.1-20150411-UNOFFICIAL-quincyatt, BeanStalk-5.0050-20150404-quincyatt, candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150407-OFFICIAL-quincyatt and cm-12.1-20150411-UNOFFICIAL-quincyatt all of which appear to have the same CM source.

I use TWRP 2.8.3.0 and do mulitiple wipes before installing.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Would one of you let me know if it works with bluetooth hands free in your vehicle. I have a Ford F-150 and bluetooth share on the phone continuously crashes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steve adams:
Another question, I only have 2 gigs for android and apps. How can I change this to save in the other 14gb of onboard space. Or can I save to SD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blitzrk:
I haven't gotten bluetooth to stay connected to my car yet. In previous ROMs I've change the stagefright and lpa.decode buildprops to false and that worked, but I haven't found a working combo yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
Like I said, the first Candy5 Release.v1.0.1-20150226-OFFICIAL-quincyatt worked well for bluetooth.

I'm having issues with the gapps.It won't ever install google play and google services.I've tried reinstalling multiple times and also tried different gapps but still nothing.Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Are you using gapps that was provided in OP ?. If not use it. I also believe that you can use any 5.1 gapps, ive tested 4 different gapps and they all work. I also hope you're wiping everything if you're coming from 4.4.4 Kitkat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mdm_:
I just installed this on an SGH-I717R (Rogers) last night and it seems to be working pretty well so far. I followed OP's instructions and used the following zips:

candy5-beta.v2.0.0-20150412-OFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip (see comment #1 for link)

gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip (see comment #17 for link)

As per OP's instructions, I flashed the ROM, rebooted into system, waited 10 minutes or so for initial boot, rebooted into CWM and then flashed gapps, and I have no Play Store/Services issues. My only complaint is that SystemUI seems to crash fairly often, particularly when I'm adjusting the sound with the volume buttons or switching themes, but other than that it's working very well for a 4-year old device! Thank you so much, gimmeitorilltell!

EDIT: May have spoken too soon, my device was just sitting on my desk charging and it suddenly rebooted itself into that "battery charging mode" that Android devices have when they're turned off, but plugged into a charger and show the battery charging animation. I had to take it off the charger and hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds to get it to boot system again.

EDIT #2: So in charging from 30% to 100%, my device shut itself off twice, and a few minutes after I took it off the charger, it rebooted itself while it was sitting idle on my desk. This time, the device had forgotten my wifi connection settings when it booted up again. I've also noticed that (some, not all) apps which I've moved to my SD card will sometimes not appear on my home screen after a reboot, seemingly at random (although they're still installed and appear in the app drawer). Is anyone else experiencing these problems? Are these upstream bugs, or particular to Candy5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steve adams:
Anyone on this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
Yes, you can move apps to SD card. It seems to work on the build I am on-0316.

Sent from a Freedompop HTC Evo 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I'll have to look into this more. It was a bug when 5.0 was first released. The device would reboot once it was fully charged. The apps not showing after a reboot is upstream unless the launcher is causing this issue. Try running another launcher and see if the apps remain after a reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chn110:
Same here here. Tried many builds and found candy5-Release.v1.0.1-20150226-OFFICIAL-quincyatt to be most usable. I have not run it extensively. What sort of if the issues are you seeing with this build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
With candy5-Release.v1.0.1-20150226-OFFICIAL-quincyatt, the bluetooth works fine. Other problems with it are occasional crash and reboot during or after disconnecting from a pnone call. I had one crash during a contacts edit. but not much else. My Note is my daily driver. Since it is my dailly driver, bluetooth is a must as hands free is a requirement in the area.

It seems the most recent Cyanogenmod releases do not handle bluetooth for the Note very well.

Same here; enjoying nominal mobile data and mobile signal strength, but only after connecting to wifi. Doesn't connect to mobile data on its own, or maybe it's just slow. I should tell you that I'm on RUXMD1 though. I will try with UCMD3.

Otherwise working great: audio and mounting SDcard on my computer are working again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blazingcherub:
Try to find gapps smaller than 80 MB. Problem is there is not enough space on system partition to install bigger gapps, so it installs only part of gapps bundle and play market doesn't fit

I tried the minimal Stuff (Just the play service and play store) it still can do it. Also, there were few Gapps that were successful, but when reboot the phone, there is not Google Play

How big it was? I used pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip

If you'll have the same problem with this gapps, then, IMO, the problem is TWRP. Try instead of full wipe advanced wipe and select manually
