[Q] Best Rogers ICS Rom - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi All,
I've been a long time Android tablet user, and after many years of BlackBerry use, I've finally made the switch to a Rogers Galaxy Note i717. I'm loving the LTE speeds, but am growing tired of Gingerbread. I've rooted and installed CWM, but as I haven't had much experience with Android on a phone, I was wondering what ROM you guys would recommend for use on the Rogers network (I've read that some are better than others in that regard)
Cheers
Ryan

I also have a rogers i717 Galaxy Note, which I also got tired of the Gingerbread OS.
I personally flashed the Hybrid ROM, but using only the phone side of the ROM since it is more stable. I like the Hybrid because the native tethering works fine on it and I had trouble with the tether fixes on other ROMs. The only thing is that you have to toggle the hotspot from the toggle menu.
As for the launcher, I did download the new Touchwiz UX from the Galaxy S3, but eventually moved to install the Nova Launcher which works better in landscape.
One annoying thing is that you may get errors like "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" which means that some apps are getting installed on your SDCard which you need to move back onto the phone. Took me awhile to find a solution for that... but moving the apps back to phone fixed the issue flawlessly.

Please reread the rules. Pay close attention to the one that says search before opening a new thread.
Had you done so you would no there is no "Best Rom". Each rom will work differently depending on your device and how you use it.

[q] ics ucld3

Hi
I just flashed the newest leak ICS UCLD3. The new release seems to be smoother than the ICS UCLC5 leak but now I'm constantly getting a message..
"AT&T Software update...Communication failed" Is there a way to stop this action from constantly trying to communicate w/ the AT&T servers?
Thanks in advance for you help.
Tom
i think if u change ur date and time to a couple years in the future, then try to run the software update, then revert back to the original date and time u will be fine since its not suppose to check more then once every 24hrs. or u can do a factory reset and see if that helps

Thanks for the quick reply. I was about to go back to GB.
One more question if I may...The dialer lag is getting to me. Only happens in ICS both UCLC5 and UCLD3 but not in GB. Any options other than to dl a dialer app from the market?
Thanks again for all your help!!!!

I flashed DaGra8s AOSP App kit. It gets you AOSP dialer, Messaging, Calendar, and Contacts. They look and function better and are much faster than the Samsung apps.

i have a question about my galaxy s3

hi everyone i got the samsung galaxy s3 and i love it but i have a question
when i had the galaxy s2 i noticed that when you are on the home screen and move from screen to screen the image move with the screen but that dosent happen with the s3
so is that a feature only for the s2 or gingerbread devices or can i do the same on the s3 as well ?
and if i can how ?
thanks
your talking about scrolling wallpaper?
some launchers can activate that for you. or custom roms.
Can download it at play store. Search for scrolling wallpaper. This apps is ment for S3. No need root or custom rom.. Give it try.. I`m using it & it's just not scrolling on home screen but apps page also.

Looks nice indeed, But all works perfectly is not completely true. FM radio doesn't work. Chance to lose sound in calls so needed to extra flash an other modem file. TVOut: unsupported and will probably never be. Wakeing the device up using volume keys might not work because the device is sleeping to deep and doesn't recognize key presses

only had this like 6 months and it's starting to act wicked funky. worse that my s4,3 or 2 ever was but this thing is chock fill of everything this time. tons of apps, pics etc.
it's time to flash something new for sure but I've been away from this a minute now.
Can anyone suggest something in this neighborhood?
I've always loved task650s aokp. probably my favorite. on the same note I really want 5.0+ because I notice my apps aren't behaving as sharp and I'm just plain interested, and I like the look of 5+. I loved task, but I REALLY don't want extra customizing features either...
A. Can someone suggest something in that neighborhood for me to flash close to this?
B: Don't laugh, but I want this to be a super smooth transition, I'm time strapped, and I forgot what the best/easiest full app/data/settings backup for transferring /flashing new roms is? I have titanium pro but I've literally not done anything with it but frozen and defrosted apps since like 2011 lol. What's my best opt on that?
your opinions matter greatly guys,im so lost, it's been a long time.
if I posted in wrong section my fault. feel free to move it.
What did you install?
I have been on AllianceRom - Build 2 ever since I got the phone, I think around August/Sep time frame. You could try it out.

Making notifications on LineageOS look and feel like stock N7105 4.4.3

I'm very new to Android and my elderly mum has a N7105 unit. It used to run a very ancient 4.4.3 (I think), but after numerous days and sleepless nights (technology is not my forte) following XDA threads - many thanks to this site - and watching countless number of Youtube videos, I finally managed to successfully flash Lineage OS 14.1 onto it and root it and it runs without a problem.
My question is, can I change the notification pull down thingy (sorry, don't know what it's called) to have the exact same style as the stock Samsung one? She needs to change between WiFi and 4G, but is visually impaired, so the stock one, with the words "WiFi" and "Mobile Data" was very clear and self explanatory. She dislikes the new one as the icons are too "2D" and flat. Also needing to press another minute button on the top right hand corner just to enable 4G is too troublesome for her.
So is there an app or something that can restore the pull down notifications menu to be very close or exactly like the stock one used on N7105? I realize that may be too much to ask, so anything in the vicinity of the latter would be fine (ie. S4, S5, J series) as long as it's early to mid 2010s.
I've tried Material Noticebar and substratum but none restored it to the way it was. All she needs is for the notificaiton pull down to look and function like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm prepared to pay for any apps/themes if it comes that that. Just need the notification pull down to look and perform like the above.

How has my phone become compromised by non-oem Galaxy Store.

So.. What happened was..
I've debloated my G892AUCU5CTA2 (S8 active) via adb Bridge and as it was a stringent debloating list it uninstalled most of the Samsung bloat. This is usually fine, right?
The issue occurred after I realized through my tinkering w/ Synergy, that for proper application I would need to reinstall Galaxy Store and Themes. So.. Mistakenly I downloaded the Galaxy Store from a non-official source mainly based on laziness and stupidity. This is the Galaxy Store i downloaded.. https://galaxy-apps.en.uptodown.com/android The first thing that obvi wasnt right and still persists even after I uninstalled that version and reinstalled official Galaxy Store is this

Very quickly after installing, this fugazi store tried to immediately download what'sapp, scary, and vigilantly, I stopped that download as well as a bunch of others that were all Chinese or Indian. I disabled data and uninstalled the package and every other other package too! So upon reinstalling like I mentioned up above from Samsungs website, I still have this login in Chinese..
What to do?
If you couldnt tell by my bootloader/build that my phone isn't rootable, I debloated via adb.. I'm very new to the phone world and would love and appreciate very much some help and tips/info as I'm going to start a bachelor in computer science this winter and don't know really kno anything in comparison to the vastness in ya'lls ability and knowledge. So any required reading on top of help with the fix would be very lovely. Maybe a mentor? So.. Maybe dm me if you wouldn't mind developing a friendship w/ the loyalest of well meaning ineffectual. Thanks guys
