Best GB ROM? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

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.

Future GB roms

I've been reading a lot of threads about the ups and downs of ics, I'm yet to flash it and might stay on gb for a little while especially since I've been reading threads were people have tried to go back to gb and weren't able to do to either user error or otherwise. I'm wondering if the gb development will lose support do to ics being out, I'm sure it will especially once ics becomes more stable across the board.

Dude, just flash ICS already. It's pretty freakin' sweet.
I find ICS alot more enjoyable than GB even if it's just a leak : it's stable enough to be a daily rom, and I work alot with my phone.
I found ics to be far to buggy go me. Flash the unofficial. I love it. And they're coming out with a I've ROM soon

I'd like to try it but not at the risk of not being able to go back. I've heard of several issues a few of which i wouldnt be able to deal with, YouTube not working right and poor call quality...my area is bad enough as it is.

I don't think any of these issues are the norm.

ICS is amazing. Much better than GB. Not sure how people are having problems with youtube as I've flashed the Odin ICS and the saurom ICS with no problems. I've actually had zero app issues.

Nash...dont flash it. Just stick with GB roms until official ICS is released. Save yourself the trouble.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I've used both extensively. I've been on ICS for months on my atrix. That's the biggest thing i disliked about switching to the note. Oh, and no notification light!
ICS is far more polished than GB. Its finally android that looks pretty. GB development is probably mostly dead.

Ill probably take your advise at least for a while...i would like to run a costume rom, we'll see how inpatient i get.

is there a difference between the 2 ways to flash ics, odin/cwm? I believe flashing thru cwm keeps root but not sure about the other one. I wonder if one is buggier then the other.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
I can't say for sure, but from what I have read and my personal experience, installing the one click exe first, then cwm, then the custom ROMs is a good way to go. I did this and have zero issues.

What do you mean by first installing via one click than cwm? Did you install it twice or both ways?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
The one click ICS leak is a stock image. It formats the ENTIRE internal SD card. You will lose everything including root and recovery.

So did you use (and recommend) flashing via cwm?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
If you flash through Odin it formats your drive and no root. But it's not an issue to root it. However if you flash the.collectives basic build or dagr8 build through cwm you'll have.root, and it'll be debloated

What I am trying to say overall is that I have read about less issues with phones who did the following:
1) Install one click Odin Leak (reboot and let it all set up of course)
2) Install CWM Recovery via Odin
3) Flash Dag or Collective ICS ROM
These steps will give you all the components of ICS (including bootloaders etc), CWM, rooted and debloated.
There does seem to be one person who can't get back to GB after doing this. But there are multiple threads in the QA section which show otherwise. I have not tried going back to GB yet, as I am giddy every time I use my phone now. ICS has brought it to another level. No way I am ever looking back, especially with something from the Collective on the way.
I installed and rooted ICS very easily
now i wish i hadnt , My ICS is wayyyyyyyy to buggy for me, i get alot of FC's and reboots, wish i had waited and now want to go back to GB but im just going to wait out the bugginess till a more stable rom comes out. I can say when ICS is running good it is way smoother than GB but that isnt too often with me but good news is the collective has something cooking up and should only be a little bit before changing out this leaked rom !!!
just my $.02

forgive me for being a dumb a$$ but I'm slightly confused about the steps you posted. Wouldn't step 2 have to come first, and i thought the Odin one click was the ics rom (step 3)? Here's what I've done to my phone. Rooted, installed cwm and completed a cwm back up, i than downloaded ics from the picture in the dev section onto my phone. From this point would all i have to do is go into cwm and flash my downloaded ics and would that sort of be your 1,2,3 steps? Sorry for not fully understanding.

UCLE2 Radio from i727 Skyrocket

Ok, AFTER DOING A NANDROID BACKUP, I flashed the radio while running Team Perfection Objection #2 from this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653489
After rebooting, I didn't have any service and when I checked to see my apn/mobile network it said insert sim card. After an "Oh shift" moment, I restored my backup and under baseband I'm now showing i727UCLE2 but I'm back up and running. I can't find a UCLD3 cwm modem but being I've got service again I'm not so concerned. Just thought I'd post this just in case anyone was thinking of flashing this radio. I was debating flashing CM9 alpha 2 after I flashed the modem but it's late and haven't tried it yet.
is that CM9 alpha 2 for the note?

No, its for the Skyrocket but I was thinking of using the virus script to try to use it on the note. I'm sure CM9 will be here soon though.

Did you read the op for virus. It says aosp doesn't work, and cm9 is aosp based. Sorry

virus script wont work on cm9
Didn't think it would but didn't know if this radio would work so I braved it. With CM9 on the Skyrocket they say to flash the radio first. I think I read that someone flashed it but couldn't get service to work but it did run. Read post 5 in the link in my op. Corzradio flashed but had no signal.

Losing connectivity after turning off wifi.

I am having the same problem. I am on ICS IMM76D UCLE2 Base - Stock, Rooted, Deodexed + FJ-Mod.
Very anxious to hear thoughts/solutions.
that was happening to me a lot the first couple months i had the note, no matter what Rom.
I heard they were upgrading the towers in my area when i bought the phone, and attributed it to that, and what do ya know, a couple weeks ago i get lte and that problem went away.

Well I went back to stock with the le radio and not one single issue. So wondering if its rom related now that I think about it I didn't have that problem on the collective Rom either

4g problems in liquid smooth rom

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.

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
