[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erjohnson227:
I recently flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 on my Galaxy SII. I previously had a Galaxy S Captivate and couldnt stand being stuck with a stock rom after using CM7. One of the only complaints i have about CM 7.1 RC is that the camera app crashes, and is completely unusable. Even if this were not the case, i love the original camera app on this phone.

So my question is, and it may very well be a complete noob question, so please try not to bash me too much, but Is there any way to flash the stock camera app onto Cyanogen? Or does the new Kernel/Rom prevent a stock application from running correctly?

Thanks a lot guys,

Evan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
You cannot flash stock camera into CM7 it. If it was that easy it would have been done already. :)

If you want to retain all the features of the camera and video part of the phone

it's best to stay away from CM7 until the DEVS decide to fix it.

I have been testing CM7 ever since I first purchased my Samsung Captivate and

now with my new SGS2 i777.

GTG's UnNamed v1.03 custom rom is the best currently available for our phones.

It achieves the full & steady 30fps according to the specifications of the phone.

The user interface cosmetically speaking is also the best there is right now.

CM7 is not ready for prime time yet especially if video recording and camera

user interface (UI) is important to you.

There are many missing features and options in the CM7's camera user interface.

CM7 still does NOT achieve the full continuous 30fps while recording video.

So home made recordings when played back will not be super smooth and will

not achieve the video standards according to the specification of the phone.

BUT it's up to you guys, if you hardly use the camera at all CM7 is great.

(personally I use my camera a lot and video recording is very important to me.)

I applied p3's forever root method and after some doubt and mental quarrel i decided to go through with it. I am now running rooted .893 it seems faster so far. Screenshots to come.

I am in no way responsible for your actions. The krakken lies ahead. There is no turning back. Please think about this before you proceed and know that until we have a fastboot restore point there is no way to restore a softbrick.

From .886 stock rooted bloat must be present. Flash to stock before proceeding.

Apply forever root and reboot for safety sakes.

P3droids Forever root- root explorer Method

go to /system/bin/open in text editor - mount_ext3.sh add the following lines to the very bottom (i placed 2 spaces between the las line and the first line of the script)

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su

chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

Then using the cheesecake app change your server to staging and download the update. 5.5.893

Then apply as normal let phone do its thing allow ten minutes or so for install and maybe 7 for first boot.

Enjoy your new much more battery efficient Droid Bionic running 5.5.893 rooted!

Bionic bootstrap works.

Rom manager works including cwmr.

So far all apps work fine.

Battery seems better but time will tell.

Cell standby greatly reduced!

Blur UI faster more responsive.

Camera slightly faster.

On the script did you apply the text right under the last sentence or did you leave a space in between?

Yes

Nice job OP.

I was wondering about this, as I keep finding this update via cheesecake. I'm liking unl3ash3d v1.8 too much to switch, but thanks for being our guinea pig.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
I just read a post stating that someone saw a tweet by droidth3ory saying he is using this for 2.0 but just heresay if u ask me.

And mistawolfe it was my pleasure i just regret not doing it 3 days ago.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
Forgive the noobitude if you would, I FXZd, rooted, installed root explorer and did the forever root exploit (seems to have took). I opened cheesecake (first time installing it) and clicked check for updates on staging1. It's asking for a motorola account, should I create one?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Hit ok, just bypass it. It's standard. Then it might ask for wifi, click the middle option. Keep jumping through the hoops. If it throws back the same wifi screen after a few tries, the server is down. Move on...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
Awesome, update just populated. Thanks!

Tbh, I'm not sure about how you go about restoring from an update, I just saw his tweet saying he did it.

The hack to get root back from a botched update does require Linux, for now, but I'm sure it will be ported, I didn't see anything in the script that couldn't be done on windows/Mac.

I am really excited hearing terms like "endless battery." I would love to hear reports that quantify the improved battery life.

I am going to wait until this is an official OTA update, but this sounds incredibly exciting!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Baked-Potato:
I have noticed a good improvement on the battery life with the .893 update. The battery usage/history is also fixed, the Cell Standby doesn't show a high percentage of usage anymore.

The only thong I haven't seen is improvement on the radio, but I think its a physical problem with my radio in my Bionic. I constantly drop all data signals and have to toggle airplane mode quite a few times every time I use my phone. It was like this before the update and the same after.

I've tried all the methods listed and have even done the oneclick restore/root to get completely back to stock. Regardless of what I do the Cheesecake update fails (I'm able to download the file but the update fails in the middle). I downloaded the .893 file separately and tried updating from CWM but keep getting the following error:

Check your /system/build.prop file and see what ro.product.device and ro.build.product are set to. I wouldn't go changing it, mind you, I just want to know what they're set to.

You haven't changed it since you restored to stock, have you?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
I got to tell you this thing is amazing! I cannot believe the battery improvement...4g in my house now....

The entire setup went perfect for me....originally i was on d3blurr3d beta4

i one clicked restored to stock...I added a step here, i did a factory reset.

rooted, applied forever root....

installed the cheesecake update...went smooth for me..

when done, i still had root and flashed r3blurr3ed 2.0....

and now that p3 (the man!) has got a method to put us back on OTA update path, I am giddy as a school girl!

Thanks so much to the devs that have contributed to the bionic! I love this ride!

Edit: i made a nandroid after the udate!

Finally Got It Working!

After spending hours last night and a few faulty scripts..finally got it working..

If you are on any versions, you need to get back to stock...

1) Use this

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7801-roo...v10-linuxwindows-get-root-after-893-ota-oops/

- Download the script to your PC.

- Turn Phone Off.

- Press Down Button and Power

- Plug in USB

- Launch The bat script

- Let it do it's thing

2) WHen it is ready to start the next step in the process, it will pause and ask you to press any key to continue. Before you do, these steps are required

- The phone have been put back to STOCK and sitting at WELCOME. Click to get into the phone - DO NOT LOG INTO GOOGLE ACCOUNT

- Go to SETUP -> APPLICATION -> DEVELOPMENT -> check USB DEBUGGING

- Go to SETUP -> APPLICATION -> check Unknown Sources

Now back to the script, press any key to continue. It will continue to flash.

3) Once it finish it will reboot. Now on with CHEESECAKE

download APP

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1281675

and follow direction on that thread until you update to .893

4) From here, you can then flash R3Blurred 2.0 or do whatever you want. You are now

- FOREVER ROOTED

- ON .893 with much better camera response and other thing..

ENJOY

so no need for the forever root when this is done? just go to stock...do update then do this new flash?

Well, you CAN root the 893 OTA... But why not just add the three lines in the mount before? Beats the hell out of going through the zerg root process afterwards.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
You know if someone had a stock/odexed/bloated rom in a flashable zip going to .893 could be done entirely through your phone. Or am I mistaken in that assumption?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
ok i have a silly question that i know im going to get alot of slack for lol. ready to laugh?

i went into root explorer on 896 trying to get the 893 update. i added the files that i was supposed to but realized after that i never put a space after 4755 until after i installed the update. now im on 893 without root. ok no big deal. i fxz'd back to stock 896 and when i went to re root the phone it wouldnt take. i tried petes oneclick to no avail. how to i obtain root again? im at a loss
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
There is no flashable zip that can update the kernal or radio...Th3orys rom is 893 system based, but the kernal and radio are not. That can only be achieved by OTA...or backdoored throught the cheesecake app.

Sorry if I answered something that was not your question....but if it is, hope it helps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
I know I can't flash radios, and kernels. But I can't see why you can't flash a completely stock rooted rom instead of going back to stock then rooting the end result is the same in both scenarios

thanks to you, DT, tomorrow is going to be a good day...again...haha

I thought so....sorry.. but I do believe that p3 does have what you looking for here....

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...e-files-read-before-you-flash.html#post106171

Edit: maybe not...this is the stock recovery flash zips unrooted... oops..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Actually, the full .893 zip is available to download manually - with radio and kernel.

When you cheesecake, before you install, you can pull the update from /cache and put it on your computer. Rename it to update.zip and move it to the root of sd/ext (I believe) - then power down and reboot into stock recovery. Apply update.zip.

You still need to follow the prerequisites of the standard procedure. Completely stock (I recommend one-click restore) and be rooted. Full bloat. Apply p3's forever root script in Root Explorer. Reboot once and check the script - make sure it's legit. Check permissions before and after to make sure they match. Then follow above directions.

I was getting the same error the first time I tried to install via recovery. I renamed the file to update.zip and installed via stock recovery; I am not sure if it makes a difference on which recovery you use, but I was told to use stock. I had edited some things in my build.prop file, so once I replaced the edited file with the stock build.prop everything went fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
After doing the update, my signal keeps going from 3g to no signal at all quite a lot. Anybody else having this problem?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bgs_piece:
Have you rebooted after the install and initial bootup? I'm not sure if it actually makes a difference, but in the past whenever I've updated this way, some things take a few reboots to actually function properly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GertBFrobe:
Had an issue of lost 4G. Another reboot brought it back. Agreed, sometimes multiple boots are needed to settle the system.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

On my rooted phone I did the permaroot and update while my bloat was Titanium frozen (one of those "oh crap" moments after I hit the power button to start the upgrade). All came out with no hiccups.

Note that I was rooted to only use Titanium for freezing and backups. I had not installed any custom ROMs nor other mods. So, my timeline since the phone's release:

.886 release day Bionic

One-click root

Froze bloat via titanium. I have read several posts stating that this needs to be thawed prior to the 893 update. I did not (basically, an oops) and so far no adverse effects. This was just me and I'm not suggesting you diverge from any instruction.

Permaroot

Downloaded .893 update from here and saved, retaining the file's original name, to my ext-sdcard.

Used stock restore to flash the update. No cheesecake ... has never been loaded on my phone.

~5-10 minutes for update to load. ~ 5 minutes for boot.

4G not working (3G was) so rebooted.

4G back working. Idle and Standby at around 10-15%.

All is well. Happy, happy. Joy, joy.

Newb Issue- Ugh

I HATE posting newb questions, and feel like a idiot doing so, but I am not sure how the heck I am missing this:

I installed the "One-click fastboot restore and root for the bionic v2.1". I am now in the process of following these steps for the forever root before doing the OTA update.

When I use Root Explorer to navigate to the "mount_ext3.sh" file, and then go to "Open in Text Editor", it says "You cannot edit this file because the file system is read-only."

I must be missing something, but I have no seen anyone post this problem.

Flashed back to stock, ran Pete's, installed Cheesecake, installed OTA, went to reboot recovery, and got an error superuser permissions were denied...

I realized what I did. I forgot to do the forever root part. "No sweat" I think to myself. I'll start all over. Back to one click restore. Back to pete's root... error: "adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method"

I checked my "baseband version" it's got a 57R in it... meaning I'm still on the new kernal and radio from the OTA Cheesecake got... meaning...I've potentially installed something that blocks root on my phone? or at least maybe Pete's 1.06?

Cheesecake issue

Got through most of the stages for the Perm Root, and now I am working on the update to .893.

When using cheesecake, I click on change server, go to staging, click first one under staging.

I then click on "check for updates", says I need to have a motorola account, so I click on set-up. Phone says it is communicating with server, then it just goes back to the cheesecake main screen.

Nothing about updates being available, or anything.

Ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
Just to make sure...did you click the top button and it say should be good....then reboot?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dukeuni:
When I loaded Cheesecake the first time, I believe I went to the second option first, changed server, and tried to look for a update. After reviewing the instructions again, I went back, clicked the first button "Click to create proper files", and then rebooted.

By not doing it right at first, what do I need to do to fix it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GertBFrobe:
I have the timeline/process I used for my phone posted on the previous page. I did not use Cheesecake as I was not aware of it at the time and just used P3Droid's download from here. I even screwed up a bit by not thawing my frozen bloat, but all ended well (so far) and I have an updated phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Baked-Potato:
I remember seeing on the cheesecake thread that the servers are always changing (I remember while searching for updates to help unlock the Bionic, and update would be on a server one day and gone the next). This is probably the case as to why some people aren't finding the update via cheesecake.

Maybe the OP should be edited to include p3droids download of the update? Might make it easier so people don't go looking through cheesecake with no success.
