So just a heads up for everyone that uses dropbox or wants to start using dropbox, they are offering you up to 5 free gigs for using their new automatic camera upload feature on their beta software. The link for the desktop version of dropbox: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=53104&replies=718

I believe they just came out with an android app as well where you can also get 5 free gigs (combined total though not 5 from desktop and 5 from android)

All you have to do is have some sort of external hard drive or sd card and have some .jpg files on there. You get 500 free megs for every 500 you upload for a max of 5 gigs.

Some tips:

1) If you already have a dropbox account with pictures of any file on there, you can just copy them from your dropbox folder to the sd card (CHANGE ANY NON-JPG EXTENSIONS TO JPG). That way when dropbox goes to find pictures and starts uploading, you will actually be syncing the files and not uploading (since those files are already in your account/cloud). You'll still get the 5 gigs as long as you let dropbox automatically upload pictures. You can delete the files afterwards.

2) Download this fake image zip (https://s3.amazonaws.com/picturesharing/fakeimages.tar.bz2) It's basically 17k zip file worth of jpg files but bloated so it actually reads 5 gigs. Now you can unzip the .tar.bz2 and unzip it again until you get a folder with jpgs (so unzip twice since it's a zip within a zip). Put these fake images onto your SD card, unmount the SD card, and load the SD card again (or USB drive). Dropbox will search for images when you plug in the sd card and will sync the jpgs.

From my own experience, just let the jpgs sync to your Camera Upload folder and you'll get the bonus space. You're not actually uploading 5gigs worth of jpgs because it's actually 17kb so don't you worry if you have slow upload speeds (like me).

3) If for some reason dropbox doesn't find the jpgs, try making a folder called DCIM and putting the jpgs in that folder.

If you don't have dropbox, it's a great way to save files and share on the cloud! You can sign up at dropbox.com or you can get another 250mb of free space by signing up as my referral, which I would love! :) my referral link is: http://db.tt/a4mt2G6

Enjoy!

I downloaded & installed v1.3.13 but cannot see any way to sync any portable devices - am I missing something?

EDIT - Doh! I just read the instructions about removing then reinserting the USB stick!

EDIT again - just reinserted my USB stick & nothing seems to be happening?
[TouchPad General] nunjabusiness:
Don't forget, TouchPad owners get a free 50GB account from Box.com (used to be .net) - you just have to sign up from withing webOS.

2GB and even 5GB just sounds so dinky.
[TouchPad General] Patsavour:
Worked like a charm!!!! Thanks.

dwl99 after you insert your usb stick (if you have disabled the autoplay feature) you have to right click on it and choose import photos using dropbox and it should work great.
[TouchPad General] dwl99:
I don't see that option - can you post the url you used to download the Beta from & what version it is? Thanks
[TouchPad General] bp_:
That is true. The Box.com deal is better but it is also good to have a Dropbox account with storage space if you use Titanium Backup.
[TouchPad General] Patsavour:
Follow the link provided in the first post and download the windows client. I used this dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox%201.3.13.exe
[TouchPad General] Dragoon0309:
Box may have larger space, but you only have a 100mb file size limit. Dropbox the only limit you have is your total space.

btw, i signed up under your link!
[TouchPad General] mmikeee:
thank you! yeah I have a box.net but it sucks to have that 100mb limit and I like how dropbox has the desktop client so if I wanted to upload anything I can just put it into my dropbox folder and it'll automatically upload by itself
[TouchPad General] mmikeee:
do you have windows or mac? I have a mac so I might not be able to help you if you have a windows, but I think you can just right click the usb stick and click on import photos through dropbox. If that doesn't work, is it possible to turn on autoplay?
[TouchPad General] dwl99:
Thanks for the reply. I'm on Windoze. Currently copying the fake jpg's to a microSD card in case it doesn't like my USB stick. Watch this space......
[TouchPad General] JungleNoli:
Dropbox or.... Sugar Sync!

Hi thanks for that, the normal (free) dropbox size could always do with being bigger! I was amazed when I found out and signed up for box.net's free 50gb but found it to be garbage. The 25mb file limit (well sound's like it's now 100mb from your posts) was prohibitive for files that would actually make use of 50gb and the lack of desktop sync (unless you are a business customer) also combined to make it pointless of me.

Genuinely not trying to sound too salesman-like but.. I recently started using sugar sync. It's 5gb free vs 2gb with dropbox. And it has no file size limit (like box.net). And it has desktop sync (like dropbox). And you can sync *any* folders on your computer with a right click context menu (better than dropbox where they all have to be in dropbox folder). And any pics or music you sync can then be streamed to any mobile android/ios etc device via their app (cos often that right click is easier than connecting & uploading). It's more spacious, easy and powerful in my experience so far. And you can select your dropbox folder as one to sync giving you double cloud backup protection and easing the transition if you want to switch!

I still use dropbox cos that's what I'm used to but I'm thinking of dropping it soon. If you're interested in giving it a try, PM me your email and I'll send you an invite which will give us both an extra 0.5gb on top of the 5gb you normally get. (And another advantage - there's no limit to how much space you can get via recommendations! unlike dropbox...). Yes I am shamelessly trying to increase my sugar sync storage but I do genuinely find it better and so might you and you'll get another 0.5gb too.
[TouchPad General] Os Money:
i dont think it increased it to the max.... cause now i only have 6.75 amount of space not 7.25
[TouchPad General] NewZJ:
I'm at 11.7gb from referrals, using the jpg zip i can still get another 5?
[TouchPad General] mmikeee:
yeah if you haven't done their new camera upload thing
[TouchPad General] Os Money:
edit: im an idiot
[TouchPad General] sishgupta:
Thanks for the fake pics. This worked perfectly!
[TouchPad General] dwl99:
This is weird. I have installed Dropbox 1.3.13 o2 2 different Win7 64-bit and 1 WinXP computers. I have tried the fake jpg's on a USB stick and a microSD card and also tried putting the jpg's inside a DCIM folder but Dropbox still looks exactly the same as before. When I right-click the Dropbox taskbar icon there is no option to sync the DCIM folder. If I right-click the DCIM folder or the USB/SD card there is also no option to do anything with Dropbox. Surely I'm missing something really obvious???

EDIT - I just enabled Autoplay on the SD card on the WinXP machine & it now gives an option to sync when the card is reinserted.

EDIT again - just got it working on the Win7 PC - I needed to enable Autoplay for pictures, reinsert the USB stick, right click on the drive and then select Autoplay & then Dropbox sync.
[TouchPad General] tr0ubled_0ne:
Thanks for the tip.I recently signed up for Dropbox and is pretty awesome compared to others like box.com which offers 50GB of free is you use certain device.And what a horrible experience it was....what is the point of having all that space if the features are so limited so Dropbox has loyal customer.Thanks to the OP for the tip and to Dropbox.
[TouchPad General] fryguy:
Thanks for this. I also got capped at 6.75 even though i had a couple referrals. Still more than I had.

There's an app called BLN... you'll need a supporting kernel to be able to use it.

Yep up volume button barely responsive. Feels like either the spring crapped out or the contacts themselves are toast. I was in cwm getting ready to flash Black Final when this happened. Tried the up volume and nadda. Pushed really hard and it would work for a second. The button is depressed and won't return to it's proper position although the lover part of the rocker works fine. Rebooted to see and it can't turn up crap anymore. Anyone else run into this? Anyway instead of flashing I'm off to ifxit to get the teardown and see if it's a spring issue.

If anyone has had this and there is an easier fix let me know.

UPDATE and SOLUTION:

Turns out that the plastic housing was pinching the upper portion of the volume rocker. Used ifixits teardown to remove plastic cover. Cleaned all debris from phone with compressed air. Inserted everyone favorite small electronics shim the cut up business card. Re-installed plastic housing. Volume rocker works again.

Been using CM9 from the i9100 section all day today without any issues.

VOIP Calling:

Finally, the last bit is to use your Google Voice account combined with SipDroid for SIP calling which works well over 3G/4G/Wifi.

For incoming, I stress everyone to try this:

"Also, with this configuration, incoming calls to google voice may reach your phone via cellular, and not data. If you want to remove the possibility of incoming calls going over cellular, sign into google voice, and under settings, uncheck mobile. Just leave google chat checked. Now incoming calls can only forward using VOIP."

This works with ANY ICS Android 4.0.* rom.

There is no need to replace the modem, the i9100 modem should work fine.

I would like to stress to anyone who modifies their framework-res.apk to please post it for others and state which ROM it works with.

Give it a go if you want a pretty usable ICS rom for the i777 - I however understand not everyone cares to go this far to get the ROM on their device but I don't mind sharing my adventure for others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ddominator:
But calling and texting don't work outside of google voice?

Nice for trying but not suitable for everyday use until kernel sources come out.

But thanks for the heads up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
It does work with my setup. All data works great. Sipdroid is just a cheap work-around for no in-call audio over the voice radio. In-call audio works fine over a data network.

Wait I'm confused so does audio work? I thought that was still an issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Nothing has changed; call audio still doesn't work. The OP presents a workaround by using data for voice calls. I suppose this will suffice for those that can't restrain themselves. It's tempting, but I'll wait until the proper fixes arise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
just a thought/suggestion bro. for the guys that don't understand how this works. you should do your best to explain the steps you took to get it working. i did this a little while back but its just not good enough for me. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Where does everyone get that from? Texting and data in general has always worked for me. And sound in general (like YouTube, music, NOT CALLING) works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Yea the whole thing works great. Even their modem works.

Ill try to post a better writeup of all this later today with the framework needed.

We can mod most gingerbread roms to work well on i777s using Entropy's hellraiser program, but it doesn't work for ICS yet. Once we have kernel sources you will quickly see some good custom ICS roms for our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gutterball:
You can't use the Andyx ICS version but you can use his 2.3.6 based version and I would recommend it. I had it on my phone and it ran perfectly, nice looking rom too!

If it weren't for hellraising I'd be quite bored! LOL I'm currently running the Omega rom. I've been running that one for about a week its also a really good choice! :D Just make sure you grab either the black and blue version of Omega or stock as ICS version will not work on our phones yet of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
This whole ideal seems really cool. I may give a try myself. One question though. Is it difficult to answer and receive calls?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Well once we get kernel sources, we'll have some ROMs - not sure if they'll be good.

Call audio is going to be a *****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
This work around was posted a while back. Not a true fix but it works. Unfortunately, I think most will wait for ics to drop so making calls can be done via voice network, not wifi/data.

Ahh ok. Well its also nice to have proper ui control with the on screen buttons as well.

And for those wondering about the calling: it works very well as it integrates with the stock phone.apk. I do not however know how to get incoming calling forwarded through the pbxes account.

For some this is completely useable because not everyone uses calling much. I text way more than I call. And if I'm talking iits because I made the call - people don't call me often. Take it for what its worth I suppose.

I'm having the same screen on and off problem...it randomly turns on at certain intervals..think it has something to do with the automatic backlight settings.

Nope still getting random turn ons and offs..with or without auto backlight. Ok i think i've narrowed down the problem...for me its whenever i turn the phone on and connect it to the computer to charge and then take the phone off the computer...it turns the screen on and off...rebooting the phone off the charger seems to keep the screen off...wierd bug but aside from that ICS running very nicely.

I'm pretty sure you can use voice over data/wifi network whenever you want, regardless of rom. The question becomes, do you want to consume data usage for calls or the need to have a wifi network available if you want to make a call?

Voice over IP works for all the ROMS. However, the button fix is rom-specific I think. There are tutorials around the interwebz to do this mod which is fairly easy. It just involves modifying a few parameters in the framework-res.apk.

So I can make calls over 3g but I can't answer them? And how are the onscreen buttons? Useable??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
If a call comes in through google voice I'm not sure what happens - never tested it. Calling out with google voice results in no audio/mic which leads me to beleive it's not using "data/voip".

The only way I could get audio was with using data/voip calling OUT. Need to do testing on incoming calls still.

Like I said before, the on-screen buttons are definitely useable if you don't mind having some screen space taken up.
