I'll probably give it a few days to make sure no adverse side effects pop up and then include it in v1.3.0.

Edit: And this is why patience can be good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
ZOOM

GTG, Perhaps you can create a MOD zipfile which would undo the vol button

for picture taking so we can use the zoom feature in the camera wihout pinch.

I guess this was why other devs decided to use the power button for taking pictures.

(using any mechanical buttons to take pictures increases the chance for camera movement resulting in blurry pictures)

Other than this little issue, all is well with this new update and I will continue my subscription. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desiromeo719:
I like the swype update but why not update the market too? I like the download on wifi only feature on 3.3.11
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
I was hoping this update was.going to have the dropdown toggles that if you hold them thewhy go straight to that setting menu

Is there anyway to make Swype removable to get the latest beta? I need french language :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I went ahead and added the files to the update zip. Upgrade went fine. Everything seems to work as intended though I don't notice much difference in volume. Anyone feel free to pm me if you want the modified upgrade zip file.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Now THAT is an awesome testcase. Which reminds me, I still need to start the process of getting a passport. :)

I've tested by reading my employee badge and my Citi MasterCard PayPass credit card. It does not read my New York State EDL - must be an incompatible RFID technology (which surprises me, considering I'd expect the RFID to be compatible with whatever passports use...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Use pinch zoom to zoom, but really you shouldn't be zooming for still photos at all because there is no optical zoom on this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
No, it's correct. I'm pretty sure we can't set the HSPA categories via the build prop anyways, but I did it just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Just remove the Swype system object in /system/lib and Swype.apk from /system/app. You should then be able to install the beta.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Meh, no need to really. Google will push updated versions to your device automatically. If you want it that bad just grab the apk and install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Camera Buttons

Yes, I found out about the pinch zoom, it works fine but it's still a lot

better using the screen icon button for picture taking because there

is less chance of camera movement if we don't need to press any of

the mechanical buttons on the phone during picture taking.

Especially for those of us who always have a case on the phone making it

even more difficult to use the mechanical buttons without moving the phone.

Either way, I still think a MOD to undo the vol button picture taking

feature would be very useful to many of us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
How does one get nfc to work? What app? And where is the tag on the passport?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Buttons

Yes,, I know that........

But another thing about the volume buttons is the location of them,

they are on the bottom while taking pictures making them easy

to depress by error while trying to hold the camera still even if using

the default on screen shutter button.

I have a hunch that the next generation of cell phones will not even

have any mechanical buttons at all....

The on screen shutter button in my opinion was and is a great improvment

from having to use mechanical buttons since with mechanical buttons there

is a lot more of a chance of camera movement during picture taking.

(it's just too bad that we cannot simply select to enable/disable vol buttons in the camera settings)

Thanks for another great update gt. I sent you a donation. Flashing now. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
Curious as to how the previous poster read tag off passport. So far I've tried using NFC TagInfo, NFC TagInfo by NXP, & NFC Classic Tag Reader Writer. So far none have read the tag off my passport. :confused:

BTW: radio tag in the US passport is to the right of your birth date on the first page (the page even feels a little different)

::edit:: not sure if this matters / is helpful, but flashed update package from 1.1 to 1.2 and not the full 1.2 flash

the last update includes modem. Is there particular reason that was done? I'm using one, pulled from 2.3.6, seems work fine...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
From my testing so far kh7 is a better modem. I get the same speeds but kh7 camps on 850 better and doesn't change back and forth between 850 and 1900. Which I would think give you better battery life while idling. I'd like to get a hold of the kj2 modem and try that out.

+1, KH7 was better for me as well. Significantly better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
Did you change the dpi? Cause that will cause the incompatible message.

Also, fyi, my market just auto updated to 3.3.11
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Because some people were flashing i9100 modems and leaked modems and then complaining when they flashed this ROM and had lower battery life or worse performance than before or couldn't get data to work.

Just trying to ensure everyone has a good experience.

Just when I was getting to like MIUI ... now I just have to flash this.

I take much better pictures with a button, the way you have to delicately hold the phone at the corners to not block the camera lens, the on screen button makes me move the phone more than pushing a little on a button. I was waiting for a mod for the camera.

Strange, I just flashed this and I don't have that option. Under about phone UnNamed 1.2.0 as my ROM so the update definitely worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] B214B1:
Same here. Just did a full wipe and flashed full 1.2 and I see nothing regarding NFC in settings. Besides installing a few basic apps, I flashed Jivy's Blue Monkey theme.

Odd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simpl3lang:
question regarding swype. I have always avoided swype because of the setting button on the keyboard. I always accidentally press it. Is there anyway to remove that button?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Jivy's Blue Monkey theme flashes its own Settings.apk, which is why you don't see the NFC settings. Better ask him to update his theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Try rebooting or downloading and flashing the update again. Did you also install a theme or some other mod on top of the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
NFC

I have the NFC option but have NO idea what to do with it! :)

All I know is, if NFC costs anything to use I will just forget about it.

I used NFC Tag Info for the passport scans, and you have to go into the menu to enter a few pieces of data off of the passport because it needs to authenticate before it will send over all the data.

here... i LOVE the volume button for shutter, digital zoom is useless and can be edited in later... Just replace the camera app with this.. should bring it back to normal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Right now, honestly NFC is mostly a toy - but at least now we can say it's there. In theory, NFC tags will be scattered around that you can scan like QR codes, but easier.

The real reason most people want NFC is for Google Wallet (mobile payments) - unfortunately GW support is MUCH harder than basic NFC support.

It's a matter of what touched Settings.apk last - if you flashed the theme, then flashed the update, Settings.apk will come from the update.

If you flash the theme AFTER the update, it'll clobber Settings.apk

Neat, didn't even know that was there. Still, it seems like the RFID technology used in EDLs is different (As I don't even see anything happen in logcat when I tap my EDL) - which is odd, since I would think they would have to be compatible with the same readers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrRobinson:
+1. Last real feature I was looking for. This rom is now complete. No more versions are needed :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
Its probably either a different frequency spectrum or they use a different communication protocol. Either way, commercial readers are built to support the largest amount of hardware possible. NFC readers on phones merely need to be able to read simple tags and more importantly interface with payment systems. I know HID is working to allow use of the tags to replace access cards, but i'm not sure if that was intended by the phone manufacturers. Still a really cool use of the tech.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sirooga:
Same here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup, they're probably 125 kHz RFID cards, or something else - just would have assumed that if passports used the ISO contactless standard, EDLs would have too.

2. Alternatively is the download for the v1.04 to v.1.1.0 update still available?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Ah, nice catch! The 11/03 kernel is included in the update package but the full package does indeed still have the 10/20 kernel. You can just flash the latest kernel from Entropy's thread if you installed the full package. I'll re-upload the full package with the 11/03 kernel included.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I guess that depends on you. For me, even with my call volume turned up to maximum, the volume is just barely acceptable. Is it a deal breaker for me? No but would I like some improvement? Yes!

Loving this ROM. Thanks for the great work. I'm coming from an Atrix and I wanted to try some ROMs based on stock before flashing CM but I'm not sure I want to flash CM after using your ROM.

Anyway, one small issue. I have noticed some applications have a black text in the notifications window which you can't see with the color of the window. Some examples include the downloads from Dolphin and the Beautiful Widgets weather option in the status bar. Most notifications are fine, it just seems to be the "ongoing" notifications, meaning the ones that are changing. I can post screenshots if you need.

Keep up the great work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Go to settings->Wireless Networks - if NFC is greyed out, you may need to do a wipe.

If NFC is greyed out, NFC apps won't show up in the Market. In fact they might not show up until you've successfully turned it on at least once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
UnNamed rom

The reason your phone is running so beautifully is because you have made a

very wise decision by selecting the UnNamed custom rom to flash.

As I always say, the UnNamed rom is the very best full featured rom which

is currently available for our phones.

Of course, this is only my personal opinion and everyone elses too! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Which would be consistent with the "fix" - which forces noise suppression to "off" because having the wrong audio libs breaks outgoing mic audio with it on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] javierationmex:
Amazing ROM!! Using this as my main driver. The only thing i have a question on is this:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ayoo456:
I don't think its his rom. at least when using beautiful widgets it lets you change the color of the text in the notification pull down. right under where you check "temperature notification" it says "notification options" and thats where you change the color

Entropy didn't include a .14 release with the last update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickey4mice:
Hmm...the one missing the latest kernel was the full zip, I flashed 1.1-1.2 update version, should see the 11/3 kernel.

GTG, could you take a look at the update version's kernel as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Latest != 2.6.35.14 - I have always done dual-release .7 and .14 OR only released a 2.6.35.7 build. I held off on a .14 build until I got more testing feedback, but it took so long I may just wait until the next kernel release, or discontinue the .14 series for now.

Right now .14 causes more problems than it may solve - it hides Android OS from battery stats but does not reduce drain in any way, shape, or form. As a result it makes drain diagnosis and debugging significantly more difficult, with no known obvious benefits yet.

Until I figure out exactly why patching from .11 to .12 changes AOS display behavior, I'm considering ending the experimental .14 series.

Even latest won't be .14

Weird... Have you tried doing it from a web browser on your PC? I started getting them reported as compatible once I had NFC enabled... But it may take some time for things to sync?

Not for a long time the way things are looking. It may only be possible on CM7 until we see a Samsung-derived 2.3.7 ROM, and even then, CM7 + NFC has its own issues right now (as in, doesn't work at all.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adoute:
NFC is enabled. I have also rebooted the device after enabling it, making sure that it was still enabled.

Searching the market app for any of the NFC apps is not a problem - they show up (most of them, anyway), but they will not install. Searching the market from a PC via the web interface shows:

This app is incompatible with your AT&T Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I777.

I suspect this is the same issue that sirooga is having as well.

Any other suggestions?
