Alright. Changed from the Skyrocket because of the vertical lines and blobs. What a great decision!

My problems with Nightly 20:

Wi-Fi used to work but now doesn't on my University internetz

Market refuses to download stuff (even with changing radios)

SuperUser refuses to update its binaries because of an md5sum check fail (I can't write ANYTHING to /system)

I can't install Chainfire3D drivers because of the outdated binaries

Will changing the nightly do anything to solve the problem?

Try these out, they are almost exact same as your. K made some changes since what was listed in the OP didn't work for me with sending/receiving mms. With the OP settings everything else worked though.

If those don't work for you then go into alms, hit the menu button, reset to default. See if all works for you. Then you can try again settings it up and making changes once you know what is working for you.

Thanks! the apn's didnt help fix my notification problem but did improve my data speeds a little bit. i think what did it in the end was a few additions to the build.prop. normally i dont believe they do much but after defining the classes and disabling fast dormancy, i seem to have push back. once again thanks to all who helped.

So how's the battery with CM7 on the GS2? I came from the G2X on Tmo and it was great on there. I started the GS2 with UnNamed and then MIUI. MIUI was amazing the first day and then the battery nose dived, UnNamed was just so so - a little better with the DD kernel.

Now I am moving to CM7 and I have a feeling I'm going to wish I started with it. The only downside to CM7 on the G2X was poor data connection but that had to do more with phone than CM7, so I hope this time around is better :)

Btw, I installed the latest Kang build if that matters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] goojman:
I've also ran Unnamed & in my opinion this ROM is a lot better on the battery.. Don't get me wrong, both ROM'S are awesome but this new Kang build is right up my alley!! Just sayin

Okay, so a list of bugs...

+Headphone bug.

+Screen off animation glitch.

Anybody else experiencing anything else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
What Headphone Bug? The only issue I have with headphones is that turning the volume down or up doesn't seem to do anything until the very end. What I mean to say, is that in the middle of the volume bar, all volumes sound the same. On the outsides of the volume bar is where the volume seems to really change.

I've never encountered the screen on/off animation bug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BigWopHH:
Headphone bug is not going to be fixed unless Samsung releases the source for this phone and atinm can dig around.

(Maybe the source for one of the other Samsung phones will have some clues?)

What screen animation glitch?

atinm - as far as audio routing stuff goes, you might want to chat with someone on the xdandroid team (check the Rhodium Android Development forums) - earlier this year someone was working on rewriting all of the audio routing code for a variety of reasons so they might be able to give you some hints.

The guy who reworked the audio was jbb - maybe he can give you some tips - http://lists.xdandroid.com/pipermail/xdandroid-dev/2011-May/000161.html

Anyone use doggcatcher on here? That seems to be my only real bug.

The seek function doesnt work, and just stays at 00:00 when you play a file. When you press skip forward, it skips forward to whatever you set it to, but thinks your at position 00:00, so it skips to 00:30 in my case.

Also when you pause and resume a podcast, sometimes it seems like it forgets your position, and you hear what you have already listened to.

Can't say 100% for sure, but I've been tethering data via wifi to my wife's G2 without any issues (she's using a tmo G2 on AT&T with no data).

However, we usually don't do this for long period of time, so YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] numberoneoppa:
I've had no issues. As a general rule, the AOSP tethering doesn't trigger any flags on ATT's end.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
The link isn't for our device - is there something else you're thinking about? As in, they're routing for msm (which has a lot more stuff open) rather than Exynos and they don't seem to be talking about the MC1N2.

Audio is an outright *****, and we're going to be in worse shape than the SGSII international because AT&T's version is slightly different (we couldn't use the international's audio libraries and I had to use the AT&T ones for the AT&T SGS2) - so even when we get a leak of the international, and that means AT&T's won't work without any additional hacking until an AT&T specific ICS shows up for SGS2.

headphone media volume

I know that atinm didn't change anything related to audio, but i feel like every time I connect my headphones everything becomes ear-splittingly loud.

AND when I lower the volume I don't even notice a drop until the last notch (between mute and sound).

Is there something messed up with my installation of CM7 or has anybody else noticed this? I need to know before I try doing a full wipe, etc.

I don't notice a difference from the middle to end. Like when I get about halfway its maxed out. But I do notice a difference in the first couple notches :-\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
IIRC this has been a known issue with CM7 on this device since early on (the beginning?). I can't find the thread now, but someone did a bunch of testing with headphones with various impedances (essentially more or less electrical resistance as I understand it). The samsung based ROMS are able to adjust for this automatically, but that adjustment hasn't been able to be worked into CM7 yet. Might have been either in here or the general forum...

I've encountered a bug concerning auto-backlight brightness levels.

The lowest setting, 25%, was wayyyy too low since it ruins the screen. So I set it up to 35%. Problem is, I can't change the brightness anymore. I can change the numerical value but the lowest brightness setting will not change according to that value.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hobbbez:
How does the low brightness ruin the screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] epicstar1:
My eyes are sensitive to temperature, so I use Chainfire3D to calibrate my screen. However, at 25%, it's impossible to get the correct calibration because the white and gray levels don't match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
Yes, but how does this ruin the screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] epicstar1:
I guess you don't care about color and temperature on your screen? The i777's normal preset is horrifically green, and it's impossible to escape the green color of the gray without your white turning magenta unless you increase the brightness, where the gray and white levels level off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
listening to this is painful... does it physically ruin the screen or cause damage to the screen, or are you saying it ruins the look of the screen

im going to bet my money on the ladder... but i disagree with both. it wont cause physical damage and it looks just fine to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Concerning the CM9 port for the I777... I'm getting the impression that one of the major issues has been the precompiled loadable modules used by samsung for this device.

Realizing that I might be inserting my foot in my mouth...

I have to admit that I'm not completely up to speed on the 3.0 kernel, but I'm aware that it's really not a major version change (even if the version number misleads people to think so, v3.0 is really more like v 2.6.40)

In addition, linux has usually provided for version mismatches to be allowable with loadable modules... That being said (typed), has anyone tried the obvious of using the samsung proprietary 2.6 based drivers "as-is" in the 3.0 kernel? If the kernel is rejecting it only because of the version tag (but it'd work otherwise), it'd be a simple matter to modify the kernel to "relax" that restriction.

It might not be the ideal solution, but it might be something to try while waiting for samsung to release kernel 3 drivers for the AT&T device (which they may never do - there's never been a promise by AT&T or Samsung for an ICS release on this device.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Unfortunately, it's not a problem with kernel-level modules - it's audio libraries one layer up from the kernel.

Unlike older Samsungs, the kernel is 100% open source. Well, as long as you don't count the device firmware loaded/hardcoded into the kernel. (Yes, the MC1N2 drivers declare a gigantic mega-array that contains the firmware for the chip...)

Think along the lines of the binary-blob NVidia graphics drivers on desktop systems.

The problem here is that we have binary-only drivers at a level above the kernel - and Google changed the ABI between those drivers and the layers above them in the userland stack in ICS, just like they did with Froyo. So just like Froyo hardware libraries couldn't be used in GB, GB hardware libraries will also apparently not work in ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Okay, so it's not a problem with the drivers and the kernel, but with the drivers and the application userspace. Hrm. A translation level would probably work, but would be ugly and possibly slow things down. It would also be a kludge, which wouldn't make anyone happy (other than those too impatient to wait for a proper job.) Okay, well - it was a WAG based on what little of the problem I thought I knew. I'm going to go eat foot now. :)

1M down is not that bad; but totally depends on time of day and how close to the tower you are. I live in middle Georgia, not near a big city, and get 1M down, 3.6 up. Not bad given where I live. Some days I get 2M down, 6 up. I'm not complaining. I am running the latest Kang build.

I get about 400-600Kbps downstream while connected to HSPA. While I commute to work on George Bush Turnpike, I like to stream Google Music, but it stutters a lot due to the sh***y bandwidth I'm getting.

As for Google Talk with video, you have to flash that separately from the gapps zip.

If you use ROM Manager go to Download ROM - Google Apps - 20110828 Universal then Download it will ask you if you want to download and flash the "GTalk w/ Video Chat".

If you have already done that you will also find both zip fils on your internal SD card at Clockworkmod/download/goo-insde.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip

I am sure you can find the Google Talk zip floating around the web as well if you do not use ROM Manager. I hope that helps and please let me know if you find out about the ring only once issue. Peace!
