Hey Guys,
I'm quite new here and seeking some help!
I recently acquired a Samsung I717M note from bell mobility here in Canada.
I successfully rooted it using odin3 v1.85 and Superuser-3.0.7
Main reason was to hook up my ps3 controllers and play my favorite games.
Setting up the PS3 controllers was a success. I noticed initially after rooting my note things seemed a little sluggish than before, choppy switching home screens and on websites. The unlock screen didn't work smooth and the unit no longer vibrated when i clicked on icons. Honestly, little things like this drive me nuts and I'd rather go back to the unrooted original version. I could care less about the ps3 controllers at this point.
I didn't make a backup rom. I've scoured the net and this forum to find a recent a I717M bell rom with a working link. Does anybody have one available? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
Royce

If he don't get back to you, use droidstyles guide in the general section
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I agree about droidstyles guide. I flashed TSM Resurrection and runnin smooth.i do have a small problem. I flashed cmall.tar and have red recovery. Rom manager wants me to flash cwm recovery and prompt me to choose my phone (epic 4g or s-i9000) do I choose one or do something else?

Has anyone had luck installing Ubuntu on their I777?
I'm using the stock ROM that came from Rogers (canada telecom), and I've tried two different guides for installing ubuntu, neither of which have had any success.
The phone is rooted, but I'm assuming this is my stock ROM preventing me from doing things Rogers doesn't want me to do. I'm planning on switching to Cyanogen, but I figured I might as well just wait for stable cyanogen 9 instead of struggling to get 7.1 working.
you need a custom kernel like entropy and or siyha or whatever is called

I think you're in the wrong forums, I believe you want the skyrockets forum
Edit: unless I'm wrong there wasn't a rogers version of our phone, just a version of the skyrocket

I posted a guide about how to do this... it's really easy actually.

This actually works on every Galaxy branded phone I've tried (as well as any android phone), as long as the file system is set up the same way... (with /sdcard being the internal and /sdcard/external_sd being the external SD.
Hey everyone,
I'm noticing a bad loss of connectivity on my Note, currently running Black Star using Blaze 4G modem (was on UVLK1 before). It seems like it keeps losing signal, the bars are there, the '4G' is there, but it won't communicate. No texting, no web, no calls (they disconnect immediately). Both modems are doing this.
The only way I am getting around it is to pull the battery + SIM, put back and reboot. That is only a temporary fix as the problem returns. I did not notice this when I first bought the phone (used), and it was running stock GB.
What is the best GB ROM out there now? I am really desperate to try anything and would like to flash a different ROM next...I would try CM9 but I heard there is no S-Pen with it since AOKP.
Thanks!
Flappjaxxx's will prolly be your answer. You want a semi,well mostly stock rom with everything working then this is it.

This is the one rom that since I've put on my phone I've never taken off in case I had a problem...I know its there and keeps me from worrying

sharky got it...
but i'd like to suggest that you try flashing the stock GB UCLA1 modem, and try it out with the ICS Rom.
I've had great success using this modem on virtually all of the ICS roms i've tried...
It can be found in the "note everything" thread, or in the first few posts of Flappjaxxx rom i believe..
It is a CWM zip file, so no odin or kies is needed.
Here it is....

Good luck, and happy flashing......g
No better GB ROM than Saurom 7.1.

If you need S-Pen then go FlapJaxxx' Samsung ICS build. Forget about GB and welcome the new smoothness.

I use the i717 from att but use it on straight talk. I'm using the r7 version of the liquid smooth ROM. Flawless ROM BTW
OK I got one problem. The 4g. Since installing the ROM n gapps I gotta say I love the ROM. Had a few reboots n freezes but it don't bother me none. I'm willing to re flash everything and start over if necessary, but trying to avoid that. I do that enough
On the stock ROM didn't have any problems with 4g. I even updated the radio to uclf6 as found in the one main root thread. I use cwm touch recovery. There is an option to switch to 4g/wcdma but every time I click it it auto switches to the wcdma gsm one.
Any ideas would be great

I like the ROM as good or better than any other I've tried and the performance on my phone was great. Sans the 4g issue. Which I would agree is a HUGE problem. I don't care how well I can scroll between pages if I am downloading and surfing web like it's 1993. I installed stock ROM and followed steps on resetting IMEI and then flashed liquid back. So far running great, with 4G.

You won't have root and it will erase everything. Check the super everything thread on how to root.

i've done a bunch of reading on 4.1.2 and see that its laggy. Can someone tell me if 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 is better as a stock rom?

4.0 is probably better on everything, cause its older, better battery too. But not as many bells and whistles. A lot of the lag can be eliminated just by disabling ripple effect on lock screen. The remaining with Trickster. I know you don't like to read too much, but if you went to p355 - 378 in Padawan thread, all lag issues (for most) disappeared. My phone never ran better. I've gotten comfortable with bells and whistles though. Stock is very bland for me now.

Sounds like modem issue. Try flashing a separate modem on top of. Don't know what other 2 ROMs you flashed? Not sure what the effect would be, but Padawan doesn't need gapps.
But I would check modem
