[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
I just wanted to post that I've been using this since it's been out, and I'm loving it. I too didn't like the stock launcher because of the no homescreen so I've been using TW4.5. Very smooth and fast rom, but I have a few questions...

1. Since this is an international firmware, is fast dormancy enabled by default? The dialer wont let me change the options.

2. Does getting a message with the circle lockscreen hold a wakelock? I woke up this morning after fully charging my phone and my battery had dropped to 85%. I set up twitter to send me text messages, and I got about 15 in 20 minutes while I was asleep. I have it pretty much stock, and using cpu spy it showed that 8 hours on time, with an hour and a half at 200mhz. Better Battery Stats showed no wakelocks or anything out of the ordinary, except for showing that it had been awake with the screen on for an hour and a half. I don't know if it's a bug, or if it just glitched out, or if that's just the way it works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
1) Yes it is! And it's supported as long as you're on AT&T.

2) I don't know... I tend to check my messages around the time I get them, but I don't think so. Use CpuSpy or another app to check if it is, unless other people are reporting problems under the same circumstances in which case I'll do a full investigation. Think of it like your homework assignment :) I'm not trying to be mean, but I only have so much time to work on this ROM without cutting into exams and homework, so I recruit people sometimes hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
For everybody's information,

I'm currently re-doing the entire ROM and integrating various bits together. I'm doing it on a separate partition on my drive so no more permission errors and I'm also writing a new script to install it from scratch. The ROM will also use Entropy's kernel because that lets WiFi Sharing and Hot-spot capabilities to work.

It'll still be odexed, because it seems people LOVE the speed and stability advantages!

If you guys have any more issues you want addressed, now is the time to announce them, such as SODs, etc. It would help if you guys are technical about them (e.g. logcats) but if you can't be anymore specific than "Mah phone done broke when I was checking mah facebooks" Then so be it. However, if this problem came up after flashing the ICS theme, I cannot help with that because like I said, I don't trust my theming work -- it's not supported, lol. Also, please do not request any mods to be installed if they require source code changes since that's not possible on odexed ROMs (well it is... but then I'd have to recompile every single file, and... no, I need to study for exams!!).

This will also give me a chance to make sure every little bit of the ROM is screwed on as tightly as possible.

Thank you guys for sticking around, and (hopefully) understanding, even though this will probably not affect any of you :rolleyes: . It'll be a totally new base and I won't post an update to update the 0.3 base to it, since it'll have so many changes... I'll call it 0.8 or something to indicate a massive change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Awesome news about the update man, looking forward to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xacid480:
One thing I noticed today was that my phone wasn't auto connecting to a remembered WiFI. I had to force it to connect to it. Not 100% if it was just the wifi itself or not but never had that issue on prior roms.

Another thing I noticed yesterday is when I got a phone call it caused the phone app to force close.

There is my bug report for now. Overall keep up the good work...moar romz!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
I'll look into it! The phone.apk crash happens if you have the ICS theme installed because it was a lazy proof of concept port lol.

====================

Random Link that isn't a sneak peek to things to expect from the new ROM ;)

EDIT: But honestly, boot animations are useless since it barely takes time to boot up anymore. Should I keep it or just not use one at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I personally like having a boot animation, but it's not 100% needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xacid480:
Well that solves the phone issue. I had the ICS theme on lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
The thing is that when I don't have one at all, I see the GSII splash screen... a blank screen for about a second, then my lock-screen. It's almost unnecessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
How is it your phone boots up so quickly? I see atleast 12-18 seconds of boot animation before my lock screen then it's about another 5 seconds for the SD card to scan and initialize.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Because Samsung doesn't ****ing know how to make anims that don't lag -_-

No really, go into adb and:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media
mv bootsamsung.qmg bootsamsung.bkup
exit
adb reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Sorry bud you've gone totally over my head. I'm by no stretch of the imagination a dev and don't mess with Linux, kernels, android, or adb. But thanks for the info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Lol I'm sorry. I just meant that if you just RENAME the Samsung boot file.. the boot speed reduces by a SIGNIFICANT amount.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Oh, is that right. is there a simpler way to achieve the same effect? :-p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Noob here as well, but are you saying that renaming the boot file makes it boot faster? If that is true, then have you done that already or will you do that to the newest update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Root Explorer? Or ROM Toolbox. I think both of those have a file browser that lets you browse to /system/media

then just rename "bootsamsung.qmg" to something else.

I've done it, but it would be safe to also have the bootanimation.zip also there on your device that I posted... or atleast have a way to restore it if something goes wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Thanks, I'll try that. And I understand about leaving intact just in case. Makes sense...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Good to know thank you. I'll take a lot at this when I get home tonight and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Check this out. No undervolting or over clocking. 16% left
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Impressive screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Gotta let the from settle. That's the best advice I can give anybody. After a few cycles. It does pretty well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
Yesterday's on screen time granted total battery life was for only about 7-8hours. I had a lot of free time at work.

Edit: for some reason the photo isn't uploading. I had 4hrs 6mins of screen tme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
7hrs of screen time?! That's insane.

Edit: I'm usualy lucky if I can get 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
No no no, 7-8total battery life haha i wish 7-8hours screen time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
And everything is back to being right with the world. lmfao. You had me scared there for a moment. lol. Was beginning to thing my phone was a dud.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Can people post mirrors of this link? It's the rewrite that was supposed to take me a week but only took me an hour... :o

-Better install script

-Lightly themed

-KK6 modem

-entropy 2-18-12 release B

Elements of this theme are taken from ssconceptz's ICS theme, so... flood his threads with thank yous! :)

Pulled. No more late night dev'ing for me.

Missing Android Market,

Broke JKay,

Broke Status Bar,

But fixed "Network is incompatible with automatic time change" msg :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Does video calling work for anyone? My girlfriends sister just got an i777 and we were trying but it just kept failing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
You need an AT&T plan AFAIK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
We both have i777's on at$t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brentett:
is this the .8 update you were talking about?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Ummmmmmmm yes :) 0.5, actually lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
Says .5 on the download :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brentett:
niiiiiice. flashing now.

---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

ha oops the .5 is so small compared to the size 72 font download link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Running. 3a - is this a new base, do I need to wipe data?

Nevermind, says full wipe so I will. Just flashed the .3a and just didn't wanna wipe, but luckily I haven't restored much. Running smooth, will try, .5!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] J-Wall:
Any comments on the new update? How does the "lightly themed" look? I would flash and see but 0.3a runs so good I don't want to change ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Don't be a wuss, just flash it ;)

Waiting for mine to finish downloading then I"m flashing away!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brentett:
so i flashed .5 and it booted up fine except my status bar doesnt exist and jkay is broken
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Did you wipe data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brentett:
i did a full wipe in cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Can you do a logcat for me while i back my phone up to test install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brentett:
Sure but I'm not very technical so how do I do a logcat?

It's the only one on ebay like that though... my girl ordered 2 just to see what it is.
[Member-Found Deals] nibras_reeza:
Do not buy microSDs or flash drives or any form of flash storage on eBay unless you trust the seller 100%.

There are multiple types flash storage devices of Chinese/Indian origin which are darn cheap.

1) The low quality ones.

These may or may not work. Some work for one write. Once you remove the drive, it's all gone. I don't know what they are but am guessing they probably use dead flash storage media or factory rejects. It's blind shot. If you are lucky, you might get a good drive(unlikely but not improbable) and if you are not, you are gonna end up with a dead flash drive.

2) The hacked ones.

These are real and good quality(somewhat) but here's the catch. Their real capacity is low. When you plug them in, they'd show the advertised space. Say 32GB but the actual space is likely to be 512MB or 1GB or 2GB or 4GB or whatever. Just way lower than advertised capacity. They hack the drivers/device firmware/chip to display a higher capacity when mounted on a PC. They will work fine until you fill the real capacity. Any files added after that would simply corrupt the data.

eg: A 1GB drive hacked to like a 16GB would work fine as long as you stores files lower in size than 1GB.
[Member-Found Deals] PhrostB:
I bought a 32gb class 10 card for like $50 on ebay before and it turned out to be 32gb and class 10... the one I linked above is really fishy though. All the other Sandisk Ultra 64's are $150-$200.. this one is $17... wtf?
[Member-Found Deals] PhrostB:
My girl got this e-mail.
[Member-Found Deals] Samiam303:
Not surprising, since it was obviously not a legitimate listing. I'm shocked by how many people don't seem to be familiar with the adage "If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't".
[Member-Found Deals] raviluke:
I got burned on flash drives from ebay before. NEVER BUY FLASH DRIVES EVER FROM EBAY. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rlukenbaugh:

yes just go into your email setting and set it to silent..

thank, now i found the display timer, but i keep having to flick switch on right side to get screeen to come back on, how can I extend
[Galaxy S II General] xEraseRx:
So I updated my device last week to the most up to date official firmware through Samsung Kies, which is:

PDA I9100XWLA4

Phone I9100XXKI4

CSC I9100DBTKH1

Android 2.3.6

While my device worked flawlessly before the update, it reboots now for no reason multiple times a day -> this means it loses the signal, since the pin must be reentered.

Streaming stuff to my TV through allshare does not work any longer either. (Enjoy watching video-podcasts on a big screen).

Also there is now a new icon in the status bar signalizing whether the phones speaker is turned on - its quite annoying and superfluous, the vibration icon is enough.

So guys hear my advice, avoid this buggy update.
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Why don't you flash your old firmware again in Odin?

Sent from my GT-I9100T
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
I flash mine last week and don't have such problem, but I had a full wipe after flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Sounds like you need to wipe, considering that everyone else here has been raving about how awesome XWLA4 is.
[Galaxy S II General] 1nvicta:
I never had problems with this firmware
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Running LA4 for quite some time now (on my german S2), without wipe, still running my "ancient" since-first-day config (never wiped for my daily use config so far) and everything is running smooth.

The vibrate icon is since not sure when, some time age (unfortunately it seems to not have been a bug as they never removed it again....) but I only get a "speaker" icon in silent mode (and the vibra one depending on if it is silent+vibe or silent).
[Galaxy S II General] rickg99:
Flash it with ODIN. Runs perfect. Best firmware ever. Flashed it > 10 SGs2's, rooted or none rooted, without any problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL BUILDS FOR A REASON, THERE WILL BE BUGS, SO DON'T WHINE IF YOU FIND ONE, FIND A FIX INSTEAD

Here are the complete tars for the FB15 & FB17 builds. Since FB17 didn't include a modem, I included the FB15 modem.

Special congrats to the ACS team for the FB17 build(& FB09) and to my anonymous source for the FB15 build.

Also side note - If you having issues with drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers worked for me

Extract tar first, then flash tar file through the PDA option in Odin

D710_CODE_SPH-D710.FB17_CL159611_REV02_user.tar.7z

D710_CODE_SPH-D710.FB15_CL143880_REV02_user.tar.7z

E4GT_Sbl_EG31.tar - Flash afterwards to allow reset jigs to work - Flash through the PDA option in Odin

And for those that just want the modem, here it is

E4GT_Modem_FB15.zip \ E4GT_Modem_FB15.tar - Zip must be flashed through a CWM based recovery & Tar must be flashed through the PHONE option in Odin

FAQ

If your having issues with Odin recognizing the phone after flashing this, use these instructions

Go to device manager, right click on the unknown device, update driver, click browse, let me pick from a list, select all(wait till it loads), find Samsung Co and install one of the ones that have modem in the name

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
to flash the modem through odin it goes into the phone part right?

i believe so

does anyone have any input on how good the modem is

Thank you for this and for using Mediafire :)

ODIN will recognize it when normally booted up into Android (On FB17 stock)

However, in download mode, ODIN/Windows will not recogonize it, fails at installing a gadget serial driver thing (this never occured on FB09 leak)

Interesting.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
It really sounds like your computer isn't finding the samsung drivers. I'm assuming you have Kies installed?

try uninstalling the drivers for that usb port, then plug it back in and let it auto search for drivers...had to do that a few times, also switching ports seems to sometimes work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
Yes, make sure you have Kies installed, and afterwards, reboot, set your phone in download mode, and connect the USB cable and see if it installs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magix200:
will try hopefully it works :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] k4205:
I had this same thing happen to me on my laptop fyi. I tried from another computer and it worked fine. Not sure what causes this atm, but I believe its a computer issue and not ROM...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bobbywatts:
So putting your phone in DL mode Odin doesn't pick it up ( RIGHT? ) IT done that to me before ( not with ICS ) But I used a different USB cord.

Or try turning on US Debugging so your PC can DL drivers.

Just a thought
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Mine did that too when I tried to do a PRL update immediately after the initial flash (which worked quite nicely with Mobile ODIN). After the reboot it worked fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
Awesome! Glad to help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Are you guys still having issues with MTP driver install?

Let me clarify: odin recognizes my phone. usb mass storage works. i can unmount sd and get mtp booting up. however, if I have usb mounted and plug it into my windows PC my MTP driver install fails.

Trying to figure out if I've borked the drivers somehow
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Manually install the modem driver so Odin can see the phone again. Go to device manager, right click on the unknown device, update driver, click browse, let me pick from a list, select all(wait till it loads), find Samsung Co and install one of the ones that have modem in the name(I forgot the exact name right now)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TNumber5:
What case is that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
Nope, looks like there is an updated MTP driver which needs to be found on the intrawebs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Seidio Epic 4G SURFACE Combo

They make the best cases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
One thing I have noticed on this is that it runs hot - which is a common thing with SBrissen's ICS build as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
No meaning your MTP drivers DID install correctly or did not?

I ran it for a while and then the rooted zip came out so I downloaded the EG30 rooted version and odin'd that the flash went good but when it boots I get a black screen also no yellow triangle to suggest im rooted. I tried to odin the ICS again and odin gets stuck at initializing. What to do any suggestions?

Edit- I switched ports and now it gets stuck at get pit for mapping

It's fine to do this if you want to restore recovery and restore a backup or whatever. I used mobile odin to flash rogue kernel, and restored back to GB from FB17...no problems

The way I got mine to be recognized by odin was turning off phone. Boot to download. Hook up to computer. It fails so I reboot both the computer and phone again.
