[Q] Porting T989 CM7 to I717 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I am using dsixda Kitchen to port the T989 CM7 rom to I717. After many trials and errors and reading a lot on the forums, I finally got my port to boot.
My problem now is the screen resolution. I had set the dpi to 320 from 240 which I thought would help with the resolution but it did not. When I hold the phone in Portrait mode, the phone shows in landscape mode and in Landscape mode, it shows in portrait mode. Also, the lockscreen only fits a small area on the screen.
What should I modify to fix the Portrait is Landscape and Landscape is Portrait problem?
What do I need to modify so that the lockscreen is expanded to fit the I717's screen size?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like an accelerometer problem. Probably a lib file or two your missing

Try replacing the libsurfaceflinger.so with the one from the note and see if that works.

It did not work. Now it just freezes at the boot screen. (all the images for the boot animation are showing at the same time; no animation)
I tried moving the libsurfaceflinger.so then then both libsurfaceflinger.so and libsurfaceflinger_clien.so, then entire lib folder from the note stock and from Saurom rom. I even tried copying the libandroid_runtime.so from the T989 version as per some porting instructions but nothing seems to work.
Any other suggestions?

Wow. Didn't think I'll see I717 users porting our ROMS. We had the same problem with the accelerometer when racing1996 (sorry can't remember the exact name ) ported an I717 ICS ROM. Yaldak made us a hot fix for the accelerometer. It involved a deep down fix to the drivers. Try asking him for help.

I was digging for new themes for our JVP/JVQ GB Roms and found this.... I'm going to be trying these ASAP
Note that these themes are NOT GUARANTEED to Work on all roms,,, Flash at your own risk. Naturally make backups

Good find, thanks.
I believe the themes have to have the same number of lockscreens to work on our vibrants.

I have heard this also... I just flashed the deep purple theme and all worked well except the phone app was gone for some reason.... it only had 5 lock screens though... mine had 9 originally
It will work fine unless you chose a lockscreen that you don't have coding for, then you've just bought a ticket to bootloop city

can you elaborate on that? I flashed the LEGEND X theme and I got in a boot loop. i had the puzzle lockscreen on before the flash
I have no idea how to check for this before hand but say if you were on the puzzle lockscreen and then you flash a theme that edits some .xmls then you might have a situation where the lockscreen is looking for an .xml that doesn't work it anymore (or maybe is completely missing) and BAM your phones figurative brain explodes and sends you into bootloops. That's my understanding anyways so anybody feel free to correct me.

I think everyone that tries one needs to report back if everything worked or not and we need to start a list of which ones actually work for us.
I would use the standard android lockscreen since its in pretty much all themes and roms. To avoid possible bootloops or worse.

that's what I've been going for as well. Great idea. So far the deep purple one worked for SH 4.0... It looked nice but the phone app was gone for some reason. And the legend x one put me in a boot loop.

[Question] Putting ICS Tablet UI on Phone

Below I have a screenshot of the home page of my NookColor. I'm running CM9 with the Trebuchet launcher.
I like the layout with the apps icon in the top right, search icon top left, statusbar at the bottom with ICS soft buttons and no dock.
Somehow both Trebuchet and Nova launchers know if they are being installed on a tablet vs a phone. I would like to spoof the launcher to give me the Tablet UI on my phone and see if I like it.
Any clues of where the launchers determine which Ui to use? Build prop maybe?
There are tablet preferences in the frameworks apk.
In a XML file named Bools
res/values/bools.xml
I'm actually trying to get the soft buttons enabled on my phone without the other tablet options enabled but for some reason when I enable the soft buttons it also enables the tablet layout lol.
Tablet layout on the phone does look a bit different than the layout on the nook though.

Looking through the Nook CM9 rom there is no Frameworks.apk. there is a frameworks-res.apk but no /res/values in it. IDK......
^ You have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to see the values folder.
Btw search button shows up in landscape mode only.

Thanks again.
The guide was in chinese or something so I couldn't figure what he did so I downloaded the CM9 version. It's a services.jar and build.prop. Pushed the services.jar alone but it didn't change, changed the lcd density to 160, no change. So I figured I'd try his NS build.prop unmodified and went into a bootloop. I guess I need to figure out what changes I need to make in my current build.prop.
Oh well..I'll probably hate it once it's on my phone anyway..lol
Got it to work by pushing the service.jar only and changing lcd density to 120 in vibrant build prop. everything is small, pics below is with font set to huge. Phone dialer fc's. you can make a call but not hangup or answer one (kinda makes phone useless lol). Here's some pics. Wish I could have it with a larger density.
Agree'd. Looks good, but higher lcd density would be nice. If you make any more headway with that and or the phone working properly, please post it.

I'm on AOKP today and tried out the mod. No go. it sets the density to 192(mod being for GN). tried 160, no go. Maybe I need to go down to 120 for the Vibrant.

Tablet Mode for ICS roms :)

Okay. So I'm working with others on getting our devices in tablet mode. I've gotten far enough to hare with you guys. Only some apps are in tablet mode. gapps and su etc.... so basically you must be running CM9 ( haven't flashed AOKP to try it yet) and you CANNOT HAVE NAVIGATION BAR! When I figure out how to get the bottom status bar with ics buttons ill let you all know
Now what you need to do is download LCD Density Modifier ( or root explorer just need access to LCD density)
Change it to anything between 129-160, reboot and viola. You'll have the SEMI-Tablet mode.
This is my first thread. If I'm leaving important info out please let me know. Enjoy your 5in tablet.
UPDATE!!!!
Thanks to @Tnsrua2000 for developing this. ---- http://www.mediafire.com/?x7ndy4p9yx4e7ly

Nice job so far. About the AOKP rom, I have it on my INTL device and I'm sorta getting semi tablet mode.
And what's the diff between 128 and 129 dpi? Will there be more tablet-like functions with 128 dpi? I have 129 right now and I'm getting some apps functioning with system UI intact.

A friend if mine noticed that there wasn't a difference between 129 dpi and 128 dpi. I knew on 129 it didn't fc but didn't notice that it worked just as well as 128 I was going to direct you to a thread this guy gave me instructions on how to mod the apex launcher so that when we get the bottom status bar it would look good. He modded it for the nexus but their dpi is set to 192. And I'm not good enough at dev'ing to mod it. So can you take a look and give it a shot?

[EDIT] here's what he told me
jay,
couldn't do it blind anyway, hacking smali was more like trial and error. i sat one night and adb-pushed countless of times to see if changes were reflected or not. you'll be better off grabbing apktool (1-2 pages before you'll find a working version), learning dalvik-opcode basics and just hack it.
what i did was:
1. find everything that contains "density" and hardcode it. you'll be looking out for displaymetrics api's. density is a float, look up the manual and calculate it. make sure you encode it properly, use an IEEE 754 converter. denditydpi is an int which can be either 160, 240 or 320. scaleddensity, same as density.
2. half of the app drawer will be wasted. i had to kill a switch somehere to help it, but i dont find it because i trashed the rewritten smali by accident and my comments are gone. i studied the original launcher2 java code to find it. not so important for now.
3. you'll get the dock back by changing launcher.xml in the res files. take the original one and copy it over the one in the dpi600 folder. port and landscape need different implementations.
4. all the relevant sizes and styles were in dpi600.
im sorry it's such a mess. a real dev would have written down the pieces of code to change but im a newb and that's all that i can offer you.

S Memo 240 dpi and International ICS Leak S Note files

I was looking for ways to get s memo to show up right at 240 dpi and came across this thread in the international Note forum which showed how to edit the smemo.apk to work at 240 dpi so you don't get cross hatched background. I started working on it but I realized someone already made one here. This one is the s memo in the leaked S Note, S Memo from the to be released premium suite from the Chinese rom leak posted on numerous developer threads.
I tried every single way imaginable but just can't get the S note to work. S memo works fine. It looks like the same S-Memo as our att ics leak.
If someone can try to get the S Note to work will be awesome. I posted the link of all the files in my dropbox. Some threads say if you copy all the below 4 leaked files and set permission correctly, SNote should work. Some say you need complete stock theme form the leaked ICS. I tried the revert from Alpha II, and Snote don't work. I haven't gone as far as complete reflash alpha 2 since I'm too lazy. Maybe some mastermind can get S Note to work.
For instructions on how to make custom DPI of your choice see first link above. FYI: the double s pen tab S-memo widget works but saved file is still messed up once you try to few it.

No need for that, just go into desc.txt and change the resolution from "720 1280" to "800 1280", save and re-zip.
Thank you for the hard work and post. I love the boot animation. However, I refuse. Screw Cyd or Cid. Andy is where it's at.
