Three button only!! (or you can use the 4 way power menu)

Basically, don't use rom manager app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
He is referring to the clockword mod app that is bundled with the rom. I only use the 4 way power menu just because its easy to access no matter where I am at on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Yeah your right I misread...but um ok noob question lol..4 way power menu...meaning when I hold down the power button I would assume..I don't have the recovery option. I have like silent, airplane, guard, reboot, power off...I think were my choices. Am I talking about the same thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasvncnt1:
Your talking about flashing the kernel right?

Little confusing...The CWM that is included with Siyah is the same CWM but just themed?

Right now I usually just hold power button and boot into recovery. I assume thats the same as holding the volume keys and pwr button. So flashing Siyah would still be the same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Yeah. I don't use odin for kernels, just recovery. Power menu or three button, either way works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasvncnt1:
Damn, used my 8 "thanks" for the day (Why only 8?) ..wanted to thank you again. I tried MIUI the other day...ill admit only for a short time. Guess im a simple person and all the settings and tweaks kinda threw me of lol. I think im gonna try again.

Im going to wipe/reset

clear cache/Dalvik

Then install ROM..let it boot

Then flash kernel.

Do i need to clear cache/Dalvik again before I flash kernel?

Ah just re-read the first post...I do have to clear cache/dalvik before kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
You are on the right track. When you hold the power button you get the pop up you are referring to. Then when you press reboot you will see the 4 options we are talking about. The recovery option will boot you right into cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Ah your awesome haha. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickymauz:
I can't play 1080 videos for some reason.. the screen just goes black... i can hear the vidoe playing but no image...??? Any sugestions????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Yeah it helps to clear them.

No worries, glad to help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
Strange. Have you tried a different video player like mx video
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tripstermcgee:
SD cards

Hey this probably isnt the right place but you guys are pretty knowledgeable and i thought i could use your advice. what size and class (and make i guess) SD would you suggest for under like $40? thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
32gb class 10 from Amazon or something of that nature.

http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-M...X6/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1327961476&sr=8-11

or a class 4

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-...WJUE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1327961560&sr=8-5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickymauz:
Mx video works fine thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] climber1872000:
This is an outstanding ROM! I have been running 2.1.1.3 since yesterday with zero issues. This is probably one of the smoothest ROMs I have ever flashed to my GS2. One question though, what weather app is everyone using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
I prefer be weather. It has nice customizable widget options and is fairly accurate. I believe you can still download the pro(paid) version on getjar for free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
I'm using beautiful widgets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Beautiful Widgets or BeWeather
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] climber1872000:
Thanks for the quick replies. I went with beautiful widgets. Works well.

Thanks guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Does the display time typically reset in the battery monitor after a reboot? It says over 5 hours display on and I know that's incorrect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
I'm surprised there's no real fix for the market freezing yet. I'm about to try out galnet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
What market freeze? Hasn't happened to me since I did a fresh install (when I updated to this build).

Galnet is awful...truly awful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
I am wondering the same thing. I know you can press the menu button to show unplugged usage but the main graph on the top doesn't change
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Ah the unplugged usage was exactly what I needed. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] climber1872000:
I've only had this happen once, right after first boot, then never again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
no it doesnt reset after a reboot. you have to manually reset it by switching OFF and ON for 'Monitor power usage'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
Or you can press then menu button and press "Unplugged Usage" :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Its clearly an issue. Just flashed galnet andthe freezing is gone!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
None of us are having the problem. When was the last time you did a fresh install? What version were you using? What kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gadget069:
I wouldn't say none of us, mine frooze yesterday and to long press the power button to reboot.

sent from my SGH-I777 w/Tapatalk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
It has gotten substantially less common, at least 15 pages without mention of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
the market issue is known. theres no need to keep mentioning it over and over again. there has been a work around fix here to downgrade market version.

some report no crash and some experienced crash. i myself have experienced many times even after a fresh install of miui.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Yes, there is no need yet some still choose to :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alton987:
CM9 kernal?

Has anyone seen any updates on getting a CM9 Kernel for the AT&T SG II so we can rock MIUI v4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
I've looked, but haven't seen anything yet. I, too, am curious but hate to pry.

Now that you've broken the ice :p, has there been any progression? Those guys are working so damn hard. Where would we be without them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Maybe one the big guys will chime in but the last thing stated was they are waiting for kernel source drop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
That seems to be the big thing we are waiting on. Any speculation on when samsung will release it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
I freeze once in a while but don't care really. I factory reset through settings formatted internal storage wipe everything again through cwm...had no folders or files on my phone at all...installed miui and still freeze sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Here is a good quote:

"The current ICS SGS2 releases are all Samsung "leaks" for the Int. version. They are full ICS, but they are a binary locked box.

When the "official" ICS for the Int. SGS2 hits like always Samsung will release the kernel drivers. Then stable ICS for the i777 becomes a reality, still probably months before AT&T dares to release the official ICS update for the i777."

I have not seen any formal release date, all they do is say within the month for a while now. Basically the I9100 keeps getting ICS updates due to the "raw" kernel being available but no source to modify for ours. So who knows in the end, we are at the mercy of sammy to release source then modifications can be made for the I777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Interesting, thanks for the info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Twistedchild420:
LOVE this rom! It freezes from time to time.....but it's worth it for this level of customization
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
twisted this rom shouldnt freeze at all. in fact its the most smoothest and stable rom ive had on my phone. and trust me ive flashed almost every single rom avail. try reflashing the rom without wiping anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
:rolleyes:

Ill roll mine too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
It was reported(today I think) by land of droid that Samsung Norway announced the gs2 will be getting the official ics update by the end of Q1 in Europe. which is the end of next month(but I think this is when Samsung had originally said it would drop for the intl version a while back as well). So if that holds true that means source will be released right around the same time or shortly after for the intl version, then the kernel devs can take the source for the intl version and modify it to work on the i777

source: http://www.landofdroid.com/2012/and...by-the-end-of-q1-according-to-samsung-norway/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Hopefully that's the case. I'd love to get ICS next month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
WOW

ATTENTION ALL!!!

MAD PROPS, CRAZY THANKS AND GRATUITOUS APPRECIATION TO MOUSTRO, MWILKERSON, SKATIN707 AND SO MANY OTHERS FOR BEYOND AMAZING SUPPORT AND LAGNIAPPE ASSISTANCE.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHAT DEFINE WORLD CLASS FORUMS.

Yall saved my @$$ today in a pinch. Now that you have resurrected my phone from the dead, how can I get the proper Siyah Kernel and the ever so SEXY MiUi Rom on it???(I ask since the previous attempt resulted in the aforementioned need for unbricking...lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Glad we could help!

Ok, so where are you at now? Completely stock? Rooted stock kernel? Once I know that, we can get you set up in no time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
He should be rooted stock with the file I gave him but he needs to flash a kernel using odin that has cwm I believe. Haha I can't really think right now as I should be studying for a test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
Ok, I JUST Flashed I777UCKH7+OCD+Root+No+BL. Now I am at:

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

I forgot to tell you, THANKS A MILLION.

You are truly awesome, but cmon man, THE COLTS? Really??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Its absolutely no problem. Everyone at some point needs help and I know I've been in a few jams myself. Thankfully people on the forum have bailed me out and because of that I do what I can to give back to the community.

And haha it was a rough season but I've represented each and every Sunday. It sucked even more living in Jacksonville and all lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
Really? I am in Jacksonville all the time. Almost every other week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Ok, download siyah_2.6.11.zip, let me know when you have that. Also, download MIUI in the first page (2.1.13).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
Alright. I have

Siyah-v2.6.11-att

, and

miui_2.1.13.zip

Downloaded
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Alright, perfect. You ready for the hard part? This is tough, so write this down. ;)

1: Make sure those files are easy to navigate to. I made a folder on my SD card called "1roms". Within that folder I made other folders such as "tweaks&scripts", "kernels", etc.

2. Make a backup if needed (I recommend titanium).

3. Reboot into recovery. I assume you know how to do this, if not just ask.

4. Once in recovery, start the wipe process:

--Factory data reset/full wipe

--wipe dalvik cache

--wipe voltage stats (if its there, if not don't worry)

--wipe battery stats

--wipe cache

5. Navigate to flash zip from internal SD (or wherever you have these files stored)

--select miui_2.1.13.zip

--flash

6. Once that is done, navigate to flash zip from internal SD (or wherever you have these files stored)

--select ATTsiyah_2.6.11.zip

--flash

7. Reboot. Done

Not so hard :p

Edit: Forgot to add this.

If your phone doesn't boot, try this.

1. Pull battery, then try rebooting.

If it still doesn't boot (which it should), try this:

2. Pull battery.

3. Reboot into recovery

4. Wipe Dalvik and cache

5. Reflash miui

6. Reflash siyah

7. Reboot

Siyah must be flashed AFTER miui.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
Ok. Before I begin this process, questions.

1. My Market Crashes EVERY time I load it. Is this a problem symptomatic of a larger problem that needs fixed BEFORE I do all this?

2. How the HECK do I know the difference between my Internal and my Removable SD Cards?

This is one:

The Other:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
The market won't matter your going to get a brand spanking rom/firmware (Fresh install of a operating system) so you will loose everything unless you backup somehow please take note of this!

Make sure you sync your contacts to google or somewhere, your text messages will be gone unless you used an app to save them.

Drive I is your external since I see things from 2010.

If you like you can remove it while doing this process to make it even easier...

Funny you named it the same "1roms" lol.

It makes your life easier to have a fallback, even if its stock for the first run then you can delete it when you have custom Rom backups. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Yup, it's on I. Either will work though.

Make a 1roms folder and place them both in there.

Flash this stuff then we can see if your market problem still exists.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
I rebooted into recovery, but I am in 3e... Shouldn't I have CWM Recovery?

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

I have:

Enter: Power Key, Select: Vol Up / Vul Down

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Thats it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Hmm, that's definitely not right. You can try flashing a different kernel through odin. You need the tar file for whatever kernel you choose. I wonder if you could directly flash siyah. I don't see why not, try it. That will give you the proper cwm recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
I flashed the Siyah Kernel. Installed Miui!!!

So far I only have one question..

Is there any way to organize the apps in the alphabetical grid like in normal Android? Right now it does that gay iPhone thing where if I try to swap to icons the entire library shifts positions. I just want them ordered alphabetically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
I spoke too soon. I got everything setup and configured, and then I shut it down to put the SIM card in. When I tried to reboot, the phone hangs on the MI XIAOMI.COM logo. Just playing over and over. What gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chaichaoyi:
Does anybody know why update has stopped for TWO weeks? Is Shep very busy recently?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Because updates come out of China and last week was Chinese new year so no updates were issued
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] goldfingerfif:
Does anyone else get any problems with this ROM such as seemingly high CPU usage resulting in quick battery drain? My “android system” takes 35% of the battery drain. Usually with UnNamed I would see almost 48 hours with light use now with this ROM it seems to be about 18hours of battery. Doesn’t seem like it goes into deep sleep either. I tried flashing it with a full wipe several times with and without the Siyah Kernel but I cannot figure it out as to which app listed under android system is causing this. Also my market consistently crashes after browsing around in it after about 15mins.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Sorry, I dozed off. Pull your battery and reboot. It will boot.

If not, without wiping, flash miui and siyah again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
Lol. Damn you for sleeping at 4 in the morning!!!

Trying it now.. (fingers crossed)

I had JUST Configured everything the way I liked it... :(

************************** UPDATE****************************************

Didnt work. Hangs on that Logo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Does it still show the 3e recovery? Seems like everything you did should make this work. So weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
flash miui only. dont wipe data. just cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
I am in Siyah Recovery. Red Menu with the Eye Logo Mid Screen.

It was working GORGEOUS. And such a beautiful ROM until I rebooted. Then all hell broke loose. I tried Reinstalling Miui then Reflashing Siyah, to no avail.

Should I redo the whole process over? (ugh..)

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

Trying now Steve. One minute....

And it has rebooted and has flashed the MI splash screen about 20 times... sitting there...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brucewilsonpa:
I've been using MIUI 2.1.1.3 (additional "1" for some reason) for about a week and love it, but a couple questions to those with more experience: 1) Should I install Sihah? I had trouble getting it to download and never did install it -- then I thought it might already be within MIUI 2.1.1.3. 2) Is there any way to change the fixed icons on the bottom or those on the lock screen -- I'd prefer email instead of messages and like Dolphin Browser? 3) Since installing MIUI I've had problems where my bluetooth connects to my car bluetooth but nothing comes thru the speakers -- it worked before on the older ROMs but for some reason won't work now -- probably an issue with the BT in the car but just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
New Update..

After I did that Steve, Wiped Cache only and Flashed Miui Only, once I rebooted after the Lockup on the MI logo, I rebooted into recovery and got the CWM 5.0.2.7 Recovery instead of Siyah
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
thats the cwm that comes with miui so u are ok. try this. do a wipe data and then reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
thats the cwm from miui. you are ok. now try this. wipe data wipe cache. reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
if the phone boots let it sit for 10 mins to build its cache. then reboot into cwm and wipe caches again fix permissions and reboot. let it sit for another 10 mins then enjoy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chaichaoyi:
LOL... I am in China and I am still working my ass off in New Year. But since they don't get paid for development work, i guess it's a different matter :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xfile102:
All my stuff is gone, but worked like a charm. I wonder... Since wiping all MY data fixed it, coukd I have caused the problem? I made a Titanium Backup of all my apps and their data prior to the Miui upgrade. After I configured everything, I restored all that data and apps through TiBackup. Would that have caused a prob??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Yeah as far as I know you shouldn't restore the data...just the app. Although I may be mistaken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
Never ever restore data from apps. I dont care what people say it always causes problems. Just restore apps without data. That was the cause boss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
such HORRIBLE misinformation. SMH.

you can safely restore MISSING apps + data, but dont just restore apps+data

for over a year and a half, and across many different devices, and many different roms, i have been using the same method without fail. the only time i got into trouble was BEFORE i realized the MISSING apps and data was the key....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] diabolicalangle:
As far as I know the mod works perfectly. Maybe just an odd flash. I've been using it for a while and nothing remotely similar to what happened to you.

Try reflashing and see if the same thing happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
I can understand where you are coming from Pirate but like I said don't care what people say I never restore data from the apps. System or not. It has given me problems and it seems like it gave xfile problems as well. I know it's double the work and it defeats the purpose of having a Tibu backup. It's just my opinion and not trying to argue. Everyone here can restore apps+data if they want. It's just something I do personally. So please don't be offended in anyway. BTW love your work pirate. I have your rom (sgs2 SR) running on my wife's phone and it's stable and smooth from day one. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gadget069:
I've been running into this issue upon a reboot.

sent from my SGH-I777 w/Tapatalk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Yeah I'm with you. Why risk a headache when you can avoid it all. And pirate its not quite Misinformation...simply a safer more precautious way of doing things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
i can understand that you had a bad experience, and you like to be cautious, but to tell new people that they SHOULDNT do it because it NEVER works is WRONG.

Trust me, i have probably had more devices in the last year and a half than i can even count. i have rooted and modded/tweaked each and every one. I have several apps that i cannot live without, and i bring my Titanium Backup from device to device and with working on roms, i am ALWAYS flashing/tweaking something on my phones. this constantly requires me to restore stuff so i can be back up and running as quickly as possible.

I have only ever had trouble with TiBu when i didnt realize there was a difference between RESTORE APPS+DATA and RESTORE MISSING APPS+DATA...i found that early on. since then it has ALWAYS worked flawlessly for me. i hate seeing people being told not to use a tool that is there for them to use...especially when it works fine when used properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
I always filter and just backup USER apps + data.

Haven't had a problem and never needed to backup anything else across different roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
That's exactly what you are supposed to do Chris. Restore missing apps with data has always been my course of action.

So, I take it you got your phone setup xfile102?
