Nobody's. The epic 4g touch has it, but it isn't stable....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omac_ranger:
I've been timing and taking logcats of when the screen blinks on and off after locking the device and I've narrowed it down to a few things in the logcat; unfortunately I don't know what's causing them or steps to take to try and alleviate the problem. If anyone wants to give me a hand or throw around some ideas PM me and we could try to figure it out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arunp44:
Just an observation here, but I noticed that during any sort of network activity, the screen blinking issue goes away. For example, I was just downloading another rom (as the screen blink was getting annoying), and as it was downloading, the screen never blinked once....thinking it might have something to do with the modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omac_ranger:
Hmm. Could be..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
I believe our gingerbread modem.works with this. I think I flashed kk6 once and had it working.

Correct. The same as having the other modem.

Do you know how to read? Not once did I point fingers, and you can't compare a car to a phone really bad analogy. No one is expecting anything "spoon fed", I was simply commenting the fact we are being left out. AT&T released this phone before any other carrier enough said, have a nice day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SII 2 Envy:
Nonetheless its still 4.0 and somewhat working.

If we flash cm9, from the i9100 thread, to our phone, it would be more stable than their version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
sprint released theirs first...

blame samsung for not giving us source code, we aren't being left out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
I don't know how you guys are blaming Samsung. ICS isn't even out for the damn i9100 so why would they give out the source now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
You do know that the i9100 CM9 alpha also works on our phones, although still broken, and is more functional than most of the other ICS ROMs for other GS2s, right? This kind of t he reason this thread even exists.

You really need to get your facts straight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SII 2 Envy:
What? SII was exclusive to at&t first what are you talking about?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuwayman:
Yeah it does suck since our phones are so similar with the i9100 to begin with. Seems like buying international is the way to go. With all manufactures it seems like actually. No bloat and faster updates. Also right now it seems all att phones are having that crappy snapdragon processor in it cause of them pushing lte.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nasapunk88:
not to bad. 47% at 9hours 41minutes.

This on/off screen is annoying however it's not rly making my phone Completely dead/unuseable! Which is good.

This is with 3hours and 15mins of onscreen time. 24/7 Wifi, Full Background sync for all apps (google/facebook/etc) and some Awful Reception with a good 1/3rd of it playing game's and 40 minutes of music playing, not just "basic" stuff.

So your talking 10%/Hour worst case (basically never deep sleeps). I can live with that for now. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arunp44:
Yea, the battery still holds up pretty well even with the on/off issue...its just that its freakin annoying when it does that every so often and the phone is right in front of me at my desk so I see it every time....guess i should just leave it upside down :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omac_ranger:
Oh yeah my battery is doing great! The screen on issue, like you said, is just very annoying. I guess if you're around a computer you can just plug it in and that will alleviate the issue. Anyone know a way to "fake" a charging or something to keep the device from doing that? Looking at the logs there's no activity when it's plugged in compared to when it's unplugged (RILJ keeps trying to reconnect or activate or something when unplugged, but not plugged in).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Try flashing a modem for the i777, like KK6. I'm pretty sure they work.

We need to get an older gingerbread kernel booting with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arunp44:
Already tried flashing i777 modem (the KK6 specifically). didnt work...the screen still flashes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Could be CM9-related. Try an official Samsung ICS rom. I may build a framework-res.apk for the onscreen buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omac_ranger:
It seems plugging in a USB host cable keeps the screen from turning on and off repeatedly. So if you happen to have a really small one lying around, I've been using it, to keep the device from turning on and off (even having nothing plugged into it works!). Hope this helps a few of you guys out who keep it on the desk in front of them like I do!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Smacdallas:
Can someone please upload an ics rom with the buttons so us less experienced can just flash that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SII 2 Envy:
There's no official ics rom out. If you go under development section you'll find two but not 4.0.

It really is quite sad that they still posted known bugs and what not even though it clearly says don't post unless you have something to contribute. I don't even know how many infractions/temp bans were placed because of that, even when a mod had posted literally one post before them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
I've been dying to try ICS so I decided to flash the CM9 ROM by CodeWorkX for the OG Galaxy S II.

Everything works pretty good so far, including messaging/web browsing/general usage. The menu and home buttons work, but the back and search buttons DO NOT. Your home buttons turns into the back button because of this, which isn't much of a problem to me.

Camera actually works pretty well to, and everything seems extremely fast and responsive. The new widgets are also very nice as well.

Will be testing this out for a while.

EDIT: Voice to text works amazingly well, and is real-time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Flash the on screen button package and CM9 (minus the obvious things that are broke) is pretty functional on our phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Which on screen button package? I don't feel like doing all that crap to manually enable the buttons. I actually have the package to enable smaller on-screen buttons for the i9000 but I flashed it, CM9, and Google Apps at the same time and got stuck at an infinite boot.

I do have two issues: 1. The screen randomly turns on every so often, and 2. YouTube videos do not load (gives me an error) - sucks because I love the YouTube widget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Well of course flashing a framework from a different phone than the ROM is going to bootloop you. Here is the one from the previous page that should work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445233
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
That's actually the one I tried to flash.

I think the issue may had been that I flashed CM9, Google Apps, AND the on-screen menu buttons all at once.

If I were to reboot and flash it again (on my working CM9 installation), do you think it will work fine? I'm craving that multi-tasking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Oh, I saw that you put i9000 instead of i9100 and thought you had a different one.

I flashed the button thing after I booted and messed around for a bit until I realized I didn't have the buttons. It should work after fully booting up and then going back into recovery to flash the button addon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
I installed the on-screen buttons successfully, but they annoy me.

Is it possible to make it so holding down the home button closes an application, and holding down (or pressing) the menu button opens up the multi-tasking screen? With that, I could easily go without the on-screen buttons.

BTW, you can uninstall the home-screen buttons successfully using the uninstall package on that thread, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Gonna flash CM9 now and give it a whirl. We'll see how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omac_ranger:
I haven't flashed back since I first flashed it. I think it's fantastic, minus the screen flashing. I have the extended battery so going throughout a whole day is no issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Tried to flash. no go. install aborted. :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
I just went through my entire day with CM9 ICS on my AT&T Galaxy S II. I got a total of 13-14 hours of usage, with 3:30 of that being screen-on, and a lot of the time listening to music or browsing the web. I don't think the screen-on time counts the times when the screen randomly turns on, based upon my battery usage chart. Overall, this is some freaking awesome battery life I'm getting out of this ROM.

Some thoughts:

-I had bought two extra batteries on Amazon, but because they had no NFC support, I use to could not charge my device with these batteries in it. Now, with this ROM, I can charge my device with these extra batteries! This is the first ROM I've had this work!

-The remote on my headphones work great - meaning I can pause/play/skip songs. This didn't work in MIUI.

-Everything is very smooth and stable for the most part.

Here are the bugs which I've experienced:

-Screen randomly turns on when locked, and a lot. This may eat my battery but it still gets a long charge.

-YouTube videos do not load at all, in SQ and HQ. This is with the latest YouTube application, by the way. Sucks, as the YouTube widget is way cool and the new YouTube is sexy.

-You cannot make or receive calls. If you need to call a lot, don't waste your time.

-Back and Search buttons do not work, of course. I don't use on-screen buttons either. I can hold down the home button to exit an application, or press it to go back in an application.

Awesome ROM! ICS is sexy and very fast as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
I figured out this problem.

CM9 won't flash if you are coming from an i777-based ROM. Flash a i9100-based ROM first and it works fine.

It is really smooth, and I LOVE the ICS lockscreen (with that I could finally stop using Widgetlocker).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
Or change build.prop to galaxys2 where it says SGH-i777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
That's because you need to delete the get-prop references in the updater-script. If you delete those you can flash from either i777 or i9100 roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dubbaa:
Google voice uses your cellular network to make calls. That's why you still get the no audio/mic problem. In order to use the phone you will need an voip app like grooveip or talkatone which link to your google voice number. This way you can make and receive calls using your data plan.

I recommend talkatone as I think it has the best quality. You will have to download it from the developers site and side-load it as it is still in alpha on Andriod (though it is further along on iOS).

Did you only flash the rom? The kernel isn't pack into the rom yet I believe .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BruteSource:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Nope, and it won't be until there are enough major changes to justify a reupload. (Mainly a new base.)

Could you throw me some links for those various things? I'm not sure what the baby pacifier thread is, or LMT. Thanks <3

Edit: found baby pacifier, haha.

Edit: Found it all, but how do you setup LMT to emulate the onscreen buttons?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] djkinetic:
So apparently there's some questions on how to emulate the onscreen buttons in ICS...hopefully this clears it up:

Download LMT from this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 Current version at the time of this writing is v 0.9

Next Install the APK once thats done run LMT.

Tap autostart touchservice, enter 1, then hit ok

Tap set mode, enter 2, then hit ok

Tap set input, select input device 2

Now scroll down to pie control and configure the activation areas x and y to your liking, play around the values to suit you the best, personally i leave them as default, also you can select the longpress delay time, and pie color here, and activation area position (1 left side, 0 right side, or 2 both)

Once you're all done hit Start/Stop ToucService now press the right edge or left edge of your screen to test. If done correctly you should have the ICS Nav buttons...now enjoy no need for those pesky on screen buttons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LimpyShox:
Got that setup wonderfully, but I'm having the screen-wake issue still. Did you do anything in particular to remove it? To make sure:

I flashed Entropy's kernel, then Pure 6.1, then Entropy's kernel again because I wasn't sure of the order, then the UKH7 modem. I also don't have in-call audio unless I turn on the speakerphone, since this rom can't disable noise-cancellation. How did you fix these things?

Ok so nobody's said this but why the microphone is muffled is because it's using the top mic. Talk into it in a call and it'll be normal. The phone.apk needs to be replaced in the system with -rw-r-r--. Once you do all in the OP. Phone calls work fine and you have ICS with working phone calls clearly and normal. Been my DD before we got phone calls working. Its amazing just take the time to read.

Hi Guys ,

In my samsung gt-1010p is an ARM A8 processor,

I've been doing quite some research in overclocking on android and still have not figured it out with certainty.

my question being:

Will overclocking the CPU influence the playback of 720p?

Thanks!

Xyus89
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Not in any significant way. You'd be better off re-encoding the file at a lower bitrate using something like Handbrake.
[General Questions and Answers] xyus89:
I'm assuming apps such as OneClickLagFix won't improve 720P playback either?

Is there any other way of improving 720P playback through changes to the device itself?

Thanks ofr your reply btw! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
The best you can hope for is that one video player app is better than another. Have you tried all the popular players? vplayer, moboplayer, etc?

High bitrates are the biggest issue though. Encode your vids to mp4 with a sensible bitrate and they'll run much better.
