i downloaded and installed candy5-release.v4.1-20151031-OFFICIAL-quincyatt and tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150920-signed. I checked the mdsum on eacch and I repeatedly wiped dalvik cache-system-data-cache on my Note multiple times. I installed 20151031 booted up and gave it time to settle in. Then I installed gapps and only installed apps from gapps. After restoring my contacts I went to assign different stock ringtones to some of my contacts. On the first ringtone assignment after selecting the ringtone but before I could exit the assignment dialogue it froze and rebooted. Apparently the assignment worked. After rebooting I did some more ringtone assignments and so far no more reboots.

I am continuing to test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Army_Spec_Ops:
Hey y'all I'm not sure if I missed a step but I got a note from a friend of mine with stock 2.3.6 and wanted to see if I could upgrade to 5.1 with this rom. I got it rooted, twrp installed and flashed the rom and gapps, the rom flashed without a problem but my gapps never showed up. I tried multiple times to flash gapps and still no luck. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
TeamAndroid14,

I downloaded Slim and gapps. So far it is good. The only thing is that the lock screen shows "No Service" when I have AT&T and it works.

I know this is not the right place for comments on Slim and I don't want to double post.

I was using apk's to install apps, I will reinstall candy5-release.v4.1-20151031-OFFICIAL-quincyatt after doind a clean wipe and install from the gapps.

TWRP_quincyatt_2.8.7.0 allows you to install multiple zip files.

Should I load candy5-release.v4.1-20151031-OFFICIAL-quincyatt first, reboot, go back to TWRP_quincyatt_2.8.7.0 and then reinstall gapps or put candy5-release.v4.1-20151031-OFFICIAL-quincyatt and gapps in the zip queue and install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chipmcd:
Same here on the Slim with the "no service" but I'm on T-mobile. There are times when it does show my service provider though.

I'm waiting for another 5.1 release to try (a big thanks and I hope the best for gimmeitorilltell.) But, I've notice something on all the recent Roms I've tried. I use a screen lock on my phone. Answering calls has become almost impossible when waking up from sleep. Is there something I should be doing to alleviate this?

P.S. Slim just rebooted as I was typing this reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jephimax:
I would like to ask if this ROM is compatible with the N7005 since I've read they're closely related. Thanks mates!

Found 1229-04 . Is that testable as opposed to 1229-07?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
What ever link I provide is a testable build. 1229-07 is a new build but it doesnt boot. BUT NOT A DD (DAILY DRIVER BECAUSE OF SELINUX IS DISABLED)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wihi48:
N7005 will work with this rom

It is stable but I am not sure about Candy6 marshmallow. I use Candy5 as my DD (Daily Driver) and I have been using it ever since the final release. Thanks for asking!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
I'm not sure if it will work knowing that its build for SGH-I717, knowing that QuincyDCM rom wouldnt work on this. I guess you can try ?, they've been few reports that theres an error flashing it. But if you do flash it and theres something wrong, no one here takes sole responsible and you are doing this on your own risk. If it does work, then welcome to the forum :).

CandySix is in WIP dont use it as a DD. So far we havent seen any lags or RR. We will experience some lags, RRs, (hopefully not) when it will be released as Beta. Right now we're experiencing issues with Wifi drops, outgoing calls,SD,Mounting issues, SElinux, and etc. So I do hope all of you arent using it as a DD. Right now Developer is looking into System partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryan_2015:
I have installed candy5-release.v4.1-20151031-OFFICIAL-quincyatt and it seam to be stable and battery life is good. The only problem I have is that Facebook voice calling and video calling not working, I only use wifi.. Is there a way this can be fix..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Army_Spec_Ops:
I flashed this build and it works perfectly but for one exception. I have no data, I've checked the apns and they're correct so i don't have any idea of what's going on. Any help? It is on the correct radio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
Make sure your apn settings match your carrier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Thanks for letting me know that the Data isnt working. But like I said this isnt a daily driver. 3 developers are really focusing on getting these devices working PERFECTLY, 2/3 devices has data working somewhat perfectly. this build is in WIP and isnt meant to be everyday use, especially when Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is disabled and you have personal data stored on your phone. This can put your phone at great vulnerability.

Enforcing — SE for Android is enforcing the loaded policy. Your device is actively protected from security threats and malicious apps will be denied access.

Permissive — The SE for Android policy file is loaded, but your device is not enforcing it. If a malicious app tries to access a resource that it is not allowed to, the access will be logged but not prevented. This mode is intended for testing and debugging. It generates log files of denied app and allows Samsung to identify new app threats and update its policy files.

Disabled — The SE for Android infrastructure is not enabled, and there is no policy file loaded. Log files are not generated and your system is vulnerable to security threats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Army_Spec_Ops:
I thought SE was disabled on just the Candy 6 builds? I'm running 5.1.. WiFi and Bluetooth work without a hitch. One thing I did notice is it likes to reboot a couple times a day randomly. Not a big issue, for me at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Wait are you talking about C6 or C5 ? lol. C5 builds arent being build any more, developer moved on to c6 Marshmallow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
Someone should create a new thread for C6.

C5 is fairly stable, still works and is in use by some(including me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Army_Spec_Ops:
I'm on C5.. your link sent me to a C5 download so I've been using that.

good idea.. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Lmfao, sorry about that brother. I was busy while reading the posts. But yeah, data should be working fine on the devices on C5. What carrier are you with ?. I'm sure its not the phone because not anyone here have been complaining about it. Maybe you should try another phone and see if it works .

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

Developer will do that as soon as we figure things out. Such as enabling selinux and increasing the System/data partitions, we probably will move into a different direction, so hold on tight :). I also think you should NOT create a new thread without the consent of the developer, because this rom is the developers hard work. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Army_Spec_Ops:
I have AT&T. I restored a couple different backups I had to double check the APN that I'm supposed to use and its the ATT PTA (LTE). Its the APN that C5 selects automatically but it won't connect to the data service. The only APN I could get to work was the wap.cingular ATT APN but that just gave me Edge data. And I would try with another phone but currently this is the only one I've got at the moment.

On a side note - how is C6? Data work for anyone? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryan_2015:
Candy5 is fairly stable and I was going to use it as my DD but then i realize VOIP calls not working on this rom... I use Skype and FB alot to make voice calls and video calls. I know android 4.2xx and above have problem with VOIP call but I though it would be fix by now..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibombz:
Checking out this post here, and haven't used my I717 (Canadian Variant) for quite some time. BeanStalk-4.4.285-20140426-quincyatt. Going to boot the phone this week and wanted to get it up to snuff.

Anyways I wanted to ask concerns of mine before updating, going to try this ROM...

Does the bootloader need to updated to anything specific?

Does the modem.bin need to be updated to anything specific?

**the two above points I was curious about; due to some people having DATA connection issues* (if it mattered)

Saw the op and wanted to confirm:

Flash ROM with OP specific TWRP

BOOT TO ROM first? (without gapps installed) then restart (back to recovery)?

then install GAPPS?

Wanted to clearify. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
You pretty much got it and "yes" you must use the twrp listed and the firmware most use is UCMD3 iirc. Some may have luck flashing with Philz recovery but cm hasn't been updated & will NOT work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibombz:
OK, well I probably have some work to do. I loaded up the Samsung Info App... I am on a *unknown* bootloader and firmware ... hmm

I have this phone network unlocked... if I flash a STOCK firmware for the phone, I shouldn't lose my network unlock, correct ?

I will probably have to ODIN and flash STOCK, then re-root, then install recovery, then install this new ROM

or is there a way I can just update the bootloader and modem (keeping it rooted and recovery) ?

perhaps since I am already on a 4.4 ROM, I maybe will start by updating my recovery FIRST, then Flashing Candy, and seeing it if works ? It would be nice to CONFIRM what firmware I am actually on, but not sure how to at this moment.

This is a backup phone... never really used, would be nice to get LP on it now.

EDIT: SO I didn't adjust my bootloader, and installed Candy5 with TWRP in the OP.. Seemed to boot fine. I haven't added my SIM into the phone yet to confirm mobile connection, but I am sure it will be fine.

I found it odd in this ROM that it didn't have a hot-reboot menu (Reboot / reboot download mode / reboot recovery) menu seemed to be not there (or maybe I am blind) --

First test of the ROM seems speedy for the amount of RAM that is in this phone.

No Play Store App either in the GAPPS STD package ( i have to track down a playstore APK that works for this ROM -- the 3 I have tried FC on me) --

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...oogle-play-store-6-1-12-android-apk-download/

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59731008&postcount=2

Gonna hold on working more on this phone till someone can clarify what I may have missed or did wrong.... Seemed odd on first boot the ROM didn't ask anything about basic setup / adding accounts etc.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
If you read thru this thread you will find that you might have to flash several gapps packages to get the play store to work. The reboot menu has to be enabled in developer settings. Tap the "Build number" 7 times to enable Dev options. Then enable the reboot menu.

EDIT: I just noticed that your radio is either very old or NOT for AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibombz:
OK, perhaps the op needs the updated package? Seems odd you need to do a bunch of out-dated GAPPS to get it working properly.

Guess I'll try the older GAPPS from Feb-2015

Old / Canadian Variant ... Haven't tried my mobile network yet, as this is just a backup phone, but plan to test it

Going to try this GAPPS

https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs..._gapps-modular-pico-5.1.1-20150920-signed.zip [USED THIS]

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347

Other larger GAPP builds will not work due to lack of space on the partition.

This was fixed with TWRP on the S2 (skyrocket)

Brief rundown : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65098234&postcount=68

EDIT: OK...so, after messing around with these GAPPs packages. It seems the OP steps are the issue. Not to say their wrong, but there is an issue there.

I decided to wipe the device completely and install the ROM and GAPPS like any other ROM I have used before in my past

AS PER OP

Boot into recovery (USE MY TWRP (ONLY) in second post or CWM if it's been updated)

FULL wipe! (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)

Flash Candy5.zip

****Boot into system [DO NOT DO THIS STEP AFTER FLASHING THE ROM IN RECOVERY] PROCEED TO FLASH GAPPS AFTER ROM FLASH!!!****

Flash Gapps

Reboot and Enjoi

*ON FIRST BOOT GIVE IT A GOOD 10-15MIN TO BOOT*

Hope that clears it up (worked for me on this end anyways) -- Now I have to test the device, when charging and accessing the SD cards, as people said they had reboots when that happened
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jephimax:
Just flashed on my Note, I'm going give it a go and check if there are more bugs on this variant (N7005).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibombz:
No issues to report so far (since flashing earlier today) everything seems good - tested mobile network and seems ok. Notice the issue with Caller ID is all (if the contact is not in your contact list) The name appears as symbols and letters on an incoming call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I'm glad to hear ya got things working. I'll also add that NO 2 devices respond the exact same way so that's what this thread is for. There are several ways to do this or that. Some may work for my device but not for yours! Therefore it would be impossible to create my OP to fit the needs of EVERY device out there. Yes the devices look the same, have the same SGH-I717 #, but they do not act the same.

Also I have raised 10 kids of my own and do NOT feel the need to spoon feed anyone in this forum, which I do for free! Some things folks will have to figure out on their own. That's why I said to read this thread & you would have found there are many different ways to flash & or boot this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibombz:
wasn't to offend. Help provide any extra information to anyone that is using it. Hope it wasn't taken harsh. Yes I am glad I got it working too. It's pretty amazing these older devices are still kicking ass! Love it !

Thank you for all the hard work everyone involved !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
I don't get offended easily at all and most folks around here know that, so no harm done. But I really can't create an OP with so many descriptions on how people may try to flash this device. Hopefully I'll have some 6.0 for this device but it isn't looking too good at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unibombz:
I hear that, and part of knowing is troubleshooting, which I did. Perhaps I will keep it less detailed next time. That's OK, LP is good and stable right now anyways. Candy Rom is nice :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam214:
Good work guys... The last discussion really help clear up many questions I had in mind... Thanks a lot..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] soulcrusher101:
If only I could find my Note!!! I have an outdated version of Candy5 on it, and really wanna test the newer version! !!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] soulcrusher101:
I'm not sure, but I would think it would be. I'm not one of the developers working on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
CandySix is on hold at this time. I have a December build and after that I had to take a break for a bit. This device is getting more & more tedious to work with but I will get back to work on it at some point.

sir there is a problm while m playing the game and connect with the lan wifi they will shut off automatically is there problm in kernel or any other exception....??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C_D_H:
I have a soft-bricked (bootlooping) SGH-i717D that had TWRP 2.8.7.0 on it. Never had anything else. It was flashed with heimdall and seemed to perfectly work for weeks - to the RECOVERY partition (had to guess that, it was not factoryfs as the docs I found said). When the bootlooping started I flashed TWRP again to RECOVERY partition (what Telus uses) exactly as before, in fact I control-P'd back to my original command line from the first time. No change.

The phone was doing some app update and shut itself down. Then tried to reboot and failed. I turned it off, took battery out. Then CandyROM was trying to boot, saw its whirling candy drops, never booted but did say it was "optimizing apps". No longer. Can't boot the TWRP at all, the Samsung logo shows up only for an instant before disappearing, can't actually release the volume keys before it disappears, that may be the issue.

Samsung utilities (KIES, SmartSwitch) don't see it. Could use heimdall to flash the boot partitions but have never done that, only used it to install TWRP and then used TWRP to install the ROMs. If there's a quick way for heimdall to fix this and install literally any working ROM (yeah, I'll beta test the Android 6.0 stuff too...) I'd like to know. Don't want the stock Telus upgrades because there won't be any.

Judging from what I've seen it's TWRP that's toast, or possibly the hardware. how would I know? Is there another version of TWRP that I can use? CM?

Update: a second (actually third total) heimdall flash to RECOVERY partition using exactly same command line worked fine and now CandyROM is trying to boot but again is "optimizing apps". The only difference was the flash that didn't seem to take was using a longer (10 foot) USB cable, and this time I used a shorter 3-foot one. But guess what? It went down after this "optimizing" and now is in exactly the same state. Still can't get TWRP screen - maybe this "optimizing" is killing TWRP partition? And still bootloops. The only sign of progress is that fewer apps were being "optimized". Samsung SmartSwitch (LOL at name) still can't see it, and actually won't exit (on MacOS) and when restarted can't see it again.

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

Home screen loses most apps - they're still there in the main alphabetized app list, but they aren't where I left them on the home screen. I haven't found the pattern for what disappears, I move a lot of apps to SD card (all I can, the SGH-i717D has only 2GB internal storage and 10GB internal 'sd card' and I have a 32 GB real SD card). It's irritating but not a deal-breaker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Which rom exactly are you using? I've not heard of these issues yet except if using a virtual partitioned rom or recovery. I believe that my VP recovery is private for now until I get things sorted out on the rom side tho. I do have some roms open to the public which have the VP but those should be marked on my AFH.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C_D_H:
Both the TWRP and Candy5 are the ones linked in this thread. The "Official Candy5" for the Quincyatt/Telus phone (I have the Telus) and TWRP 2.8.7.0 as linked above. Never used anything else but stock 4.0.4 on this SGH-i717D. I have no idea what a "virtual partitioned" internal would be or how to detect it on a phone that won't boot or go into MTP mode. This phone worked perfectly under Candy5 except for the home screen apps going away periodically and having to be looked up from the alphabetical list. I doubt I downloaded anything I shouldn't have. Did Telus VP its phones? They did use a partition named RECOVERY, or at least that's the one I flashed, which is not the name ("factoryfs") in the docs for TWRP. I have had to sudo the USB write before heimdall will flash it, every time, I think that's a heimdall issue (maybe its not running as root or gets the USB wrong).

Update: Now having same problems, I suspect my internal storage mmight be very low, tested this with a lot of apps. Could flash TWRP yet again and try to delete some plus usual caches etc. If there's a way from TWRP to minimize the RAM Candy5 needs to start up, I'll try that... is there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Current;y there is no way to minimize the startup that I'm aware of. The VP is something I've been working on with [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] to give this old device some well needed space. Unfortunately I have had to stop development on it tho. I'm in the process of remodeling a house we just purchased while still putting in my 40 plus hours at my job as well. I WILL be back into the swing of things in 2 to 3 weeks most likely. Until then I honestly am too busy for anything else. Hang in there tho, I have some great folks willing to help when I get back on track.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C_D_H:
Just checked and it's the Candy5 v4.0 OFFICIAL 20151013 quincyatt version, and it's the Telus (Canadian) phone SGH-i717D with 2GB internal (only real issue with this phone), 10GB "SD card" (hate those bogus partition names) and 32GB actual microSD card. Battery is stock -- 2500mAh? Not the expanded nor an aftermarket one. Never had a port issue. Just reflashed from TWRP (which was not easy to get to). Only thing I noticed in re-installing the .ZIP was that it "could not unmount /system - partition not found". The Telus phone seems to have different partition names, i.e. RECOVERY not factoryfs for the TWRP partition.

If there's anything I can do to help with Marshmallow release let me know. I liked the Candy5 5.1.1 very much for the two weeks it worked! ;) This phone is basically now an experimental platform.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam214:
Wonderful ROM?
