[Q] Smoothest JB custom rom? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

For i717. I'm using the Rogers variant and currently I have HYFR installed as my custom ROM and it's 4.0.4. It's pretty decent but I want something that is very smooth in terms of UI and has an overclockable kernal and hopefully pretty bug-less.
Preferably one that can be installed using CWM because TWRP doesn't want to work for me.

and no LiquidSmooth please. Too many people complaining about bricking their phone after flashing it.

Supernexus? But it says it needs TWRP to be flashed.

You can flash it with cwm twrp is recommended. If you want twrp go to their website download the quincyatt and flash it in cwm, then reboot recovery.

This is weird. I'm getting an error, something about getprop and then it's aborting the installation. I guess I have to use twrp.

I just realized now why it didn't work. I didn't do Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache with CWM. But I successfully installed TWRP and did it with that and successfully flashed the ROM. Will flash the kernel Jamie recommends to fix GPS issues. Operates very good so far.

Glad to see it worked! I personally under clock mine to 192mhz and 1.2ghz. Gives me 3-3.3hours of on screen time

Nope. It still remains smooth as butter and can play games perfectly! I only raise it to Min: 4mhz Max 1.5ghz when I'm playing heavy games like dead trigger and real racing.

boot to recovery and flash? what do you mean you cant use CWM on stock rooted rom?
Rom manager is not needed for cwm. It just makes things slightly easier.
Flash a kernel that has cwm and boot into it by the command 'adb reboot recovery', three button hold, or even the 14 toggle mod reboot button. And flash away.
Rom manager doesn't equal cwm. It's just one of the things it can do. But right now it's not 100% ready for our phones.

I've been using it on my cappy, and now with my Sgs2, no issues. But I'm a compulsive updater and obsessed with living on the edge.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Majority of other phones it does work 100%.
And it does work with our phones. Just not 100%. If used enough there will be a time that it messes up (primarily with stock based roms). Hopefully in the near future the bugs will be worked out so that it is 100% with our phones.

IMO..With the devs putting the extended power menu in the roms which allows you to reboot to recovery It makes life easier to get to cwm..I forgot all about ROM MANAGER a long time ago....

Can't install any ICS or JB roms

So I've recently been looking into testing tablet mode with my lapdock as webtop has been meh. I can't install anything besides GB roms for some reason. I've performed full wipes with th3Bill's wipe, with paranoid android aroma installer, with fastboot, with cwm. Paranoid android and epinters 10 both just hang on the boot animation, I've tried literally dozens of times with each of them and nothing will work. Does anyone know what's happening here?
Strange. Maybe try re-downloading the roms....
LāvLab / HostileSlothRecords
How long did you wait at the boot animation? I've had up to 10 min wait for the first boot but usually it's only a few min longer than all reboots after.

That sounds familiar. I had the same thing happen to me while trying to flash the ICS leak way back when. Even though I did everything I was supposed to do, I still came up with the same problem and never found out what caused the problem

Its all good, we've all been forum noobs before.
Anyways, i'm assuming proper partitions were wiped prior to flashing the rom?

And a factory reset???????
I know its a drag, but you have to do it.
when i go to a new rom i do
1.factory reset
2.format /system
3.flash rom
4.flash gapps
One thing I didn't mention before is that I was actually able to install ICS based roms this summer, and now nothing. I used jokersax's cm9 and the leak installed for me too. I honestly can't think of any reason why this isn't working. I've tried with CWM and TWRP, Like I said, I've wiped my stuff every way I could think of. I'm stumped.
ok, how about format /cache and /osh and dalvik cache as well?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
So I finally got something working with a JB rom. I literally formatted everything I could and then install MIUI.US through rom manager and CWM. It installed but the launcher crashed every time it booted, ran th3Bill's options chooser and installed holo launcher, now I have a working JB!! Still working on paranoid but not feeling much hope for it. I'm currently just really happy to know I can install even just one JB rom.

Stuck at HTC boot screen with Santod's ICS Rom

Hello everybody. I'm trying to flash the Santod's version of ICS OTA Rom and Im stuck at the HTC boot up white screen I tried the odex version (556.4MB) and the debloat version (376.8MB) and with none of them have any luck I cant get passed beyond the bootup screen. I'm using 4EXT recovery to flash the Roms I also updated the Radios with the OTA ICS radios. Does anybody is facing same problem?
He posted a file to flash if you was caught in a boot loop. Might want to head over to that thread.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Correct, I posted a flashable zip to apply to either Odex rom.
I am in the process of uploading complete Odex roms, so no patch file is needed.
Thanks I will try that

After the rocky start with the boot loops finally Installed the santod's trimmed version with the fixed kernell after that WiFi camera mms etc was working as supposed to be but everything on the phone suddenly come to a crawl status it was super slow even loading Google on the stock browser and reluctantly I had to go back to GB.
I like the ROM very much but the speed was the deal breaker. Is there any way to speed things up?

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:

[kernel] [sense] My kernel

Here you will find a kernel I had built for myself and shared with a few others. I like it, they like it, so I thought I'd share.
What is it? It's a VERY lightly modded kernel. It's build from elkay's (LK kernel) great work. Basically HSIC fixes and undervolting. You can read more about LK kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37234176
I've mostly just added FFC and the color_enhancement bugfix that most devs don't seem to want to add.
You will find no fancy governors here, no sweep_to_do_something, no overclocking, no aroma installer. What you will find is a solid kernel, with the above fixes.
To make it clear, this is the kernel I run, and I'm just sharing. If you like it, great. If you don't, I don't care, use someone else's. I'm no elite kernel "dev".
Credits - elkay (98% his work) and crpalmer (for his build tools). Also Infinite Jest for pointing out just how bad our displays looked.
Here's the download - http://d-h.st/Oxr
I won't be pushing source to github. Compressed source can be found here - http://d-h.st/k5L
Q&A:
Q: Can you add feature "x"?
A: No
Q: How can I overclock with this kernel?
A: No
Q: Can you add super_lame_badass_v9_supercharged_donkey governor?
A: No
Q: Can you post source to github?
A: No
Q: I'm having "x" problem, can you fix it?
A: No
Enjoy
Thanks. I just happened to be looking for a kernel and I guess I will try this one out. I can just flash this in recovery if I'm s off and I just wipe dalvik cache and cache after installation right?
