I'm sorry if the pm I sent you recently sounded annoyed, what I sent you is something I don't want floating around on xda, and honestly, I just wanted to pass that information off to you alone.

No, you've done an excellent job so far

Yes, i think i've responded differently than you a couple of times, but if i remember right, that's because there's a difference between the R800i and the R800x

Nope

Nope, good job, keep on answering as many quetsions as you can

For the most part (once again) yes, once again, i think it's only minor differences between the x and the i.

Edit: Never mind, I found it.
[Bravo General] nodots:
Great guide, missing one thing.

As soon as someone points out which "google apps" stuff to download, I will hit the thanks button.

On the page this points to for the google apps, there is 40 files to choose from. I notice that some are labeled by date, but which group matters and what date is best?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
To turn off blur\bypass blur setup, type eebluroffee on the first screen. Sometimes it takes a few tries, just keep trying eebluroffee and it'll eventually work.

The gapps for GB (CM7) is the 2011\08\28 version. It's linked in a few of the threads around here. ICS is the 2012\03\17 (latest the last time I checked, although a few of the apps are now outdated, like Play and GMail).

You can use the Hacked Gapps I made with CM7. Its in Bravo Themes and Apps. Its the same as the 2011\08\28 version, except that Market is updated to Play and Maps has the international navigaion hack.

I had to reflash the stock 2.2.1 SBF every time, until I did the wipes both BEFORE and AFTER.

No indefinite load screen... Just a beautiful custom ROM! :D:D:D

Oh, and I used "Defy 2ndinit" and installed the latest (1.0.7 or something).

This is my first Bravo to put a custom ROM on, but my second phone and that helped.;)

Now off to find/build custom themes!:cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
THIS FIRMWARE IS A TOY. IT HAS MAJOR ISSUES.

(more quotes to come boys and girls!)

Since apparently, if there isn't a crappy bugridden barely usable ICS firmware somewhere in the development forum, development is "stopped" and "dead" - I figured I'd put up something for the little babies with their sense of being entitled to everything in the world a little firmware to suck on so maybe they'll shut up.

So here is Baby Pacifier - A minimally usable (but at least safe to flash) ICS firmware based from the I9100 XXLPH leak, using most (but not all of) my Sh1tROM tutorial guide to deodex, debloat, and partially Hellraise (CSC only - no modem/audio/kernel)

It contains Chainfire's CF-root initramfs-repacked kernel, so includes functional CWM. Note that internal and external SD cards are swapped compared to normal Samsung CWMs. (This is actually the Android standard going forward and I'll likely change DD soon to reflect this.)

It also includes the softkey workaround akira02rex pointed out in his thread in General (link later...) Note that this workaround is easier said than done, I'll be writing a short guide about my experiences with this later.

http://dev-host.org/HM2 - The usual - Nandroid your current firmware, wipe data in CWM, flash this in CWM.

The softkey hack makes twlauncher look like ass - LauncherPro seems to be nicer in this regard.

HARDWARE TOUCHKEYS DO NOT WORK. CALL AUDIO IS TOTALLY BROKEN IN THE FIRMWARE, AND ONLY PARTIALLY FUNCTIONAL (you need to disable Samsung Noise Reduction on every call) WITH THE ATTACHED KERNEL. THIS WILL NOT CHANGE BEFORE I9100 ICS KERNEL SOURCE IS RELEASED. DON'T ASK FOR FIXES - THESE CAN'T BE FIXED BEFORE THEN.

Data seems to work however with any I777 Gingerbread modem (I'm using UCKH7). This does not flash a new modem.

For some reason, since implementing the CSC hack, no ringtones or notification tones show up for selection on first boot. They do afterwards.

I'll add a few more details later (probably tonight)

When you're done playing, enter CWM and Nandroid back to a usable firmware.

I've attached a hex-edited variant of CF-Root that fixes some of the call audio issues (I can hear my voicemail now, and mic works if you disable Samsung Noise Reduction during a call). However expect some audio issues to remain. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22889718&postcount=26 for more details on how this got haxxed.

I reuploaded the kernel with a fixed updater-script so that it flashes properly now.

For a high-level overview of the hexedit hack - see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23005998&postcount=204 - You'll need a Linux box and the ability to read and understand a bash shell script.

whoops

I'm late i guess! lol. i can download it but its like 1/2MB or something. can't wait to fiddle with it later when the link is working again! thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Hmm, I'll check the link tonight... Including checking the MD5sum against what I uploaded.

As to the call audio - I think AT&T seems to really like using some weird call audio processing chip (Audience) that isn't in international devices - I know that was the case on the I9000 vs Captivate - however I'm not sure if we even have that chip in the I777.

To be honest, I haven't paid too much attention to it. It hasn't been a major issue on Gingerbread.

There is just enough audio-specific stuff in the kernel that is different between I9100 and I777 that I'm not going to mess with it until I've got kernel source.

See https://github.com/Entropy512/linux_kernel_sgh-i777/blob/master/sound/soc/codecs/mc1n2/mc1n2_cfg.h vs https://github.com/Entropy512/linux...master/sound/soc/codecs/mc1n2/mc1n2_cfg_gsm.h

If DIO port 1 is related to call audio (maybe it is maybe it isn't) - then we absolutely need kernel source to even start working call audio.

Which leads me to - there are Gingerbread experiments I can play with. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
According to this, which points to this, says the GSII has it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nh5:
Good call, I figured we still had that pesky audience chip. I remember on my captivate which I still have whenever we ran a i9000 rom with i9000 modem it would bypass the audience chip. Wish that was possible on the I777. Still can't see any improvements from that chip on either phone. I wish AT&T would keep there paws off the damn devices.

Also Entropy, any good place I can start reading up on kernel development or at least some place to read up about what is being accomplished in those drivers?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Now that 1.4.2 is out, I'm wondering if the various OTA blocking methods are working for people. I'm using indirect's method and haven't gotten the update yet, though I keep wifi off most of the time, just to be safe.

Anyone out there that has blocked updates get it anyhow?

Or are the methods for blocking OTA holding steady?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Seems to hold steady. I've never turned off WiFi and, despite a brief stint with CM7 last week, I was up for many many weeks with rooted 1.4.0 displaying the 9.9.9 version. No updates. Can't see how I could have had the luck to miss 1.4.1 that entire time. I would say it works - I don't see why it would be any different now that 1.4.2 is out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
If you're using the OTA blocker that displays 9.9.9 what it does is sets the settings for OTA updates to manual, so you won't be getting any updates, ever.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Ah okay then, that answers that.

I'm 9.9.9 til I die (or until B&N figures out how to undo it).

Though hopefully that won't happen.

Thanks for the input.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bladewriter:
I modified the devicemanager.db as shown here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946969

to set fota operation mode to manual eons ago and have been at 1.4.0 ever since. I don't need no stinkin' updates to 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 just to obtain "minor system enhancements" (like breaking root and locking down exploits).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
Nothing they can do can lock down the huge "exploit" that allows sd booting.

Sd Booting is hardwired into the system which means as long as we have a signed bootloader we'll always be able to boot the device. This is on purpose and they use it for their own development as well as to issue things like repartition cards to stores.

The bauwks exploit which allows us to boot our own u-boot and therefore unsigned kernels and the such would require for them to completely change the crypto key in which they sign future updates, meaning those updates wouldn't work on current devices. This means they'd have to release a completely new batch of devices with a new crypto key support two devices with two updates just to patch this exploit. They can't patch it on our current devices because if they did all we would have to do is take an older bootloader and load it onto the device therefore re-enabling the devices ability to perform the bauwks exploit.

Updating will kill root, this is NATURAL with all BN devices, it's not something new or them trying to kill root. If you look at their update.zip you will find that it formats /system and completely rewrites it. This is the way it has always been.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Singingdrum:
I have 3 NT's running brianf21's NT Hidden Settings app which has a feature of blocking ota's by changing the setting to manual updates. So far none of my 3 devices has received the 1.4.2 update (wifi is on 24/7), so I think this feature is working on this app. So far so good, anyway!

OK, so I have an Xperia arc with the 0% battery issue. My plan is to root the phone' install clockwordmod recovery and then install a custom ROM as I'm sure its the firmware causing the issue.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] siedus:
Try flashing a AOSP rom like Slim ICS 3.0. When you flash a custom from that's based on any samsung rom, you will get the ugly Samsung/touchwiz calendar. I've tried installing the Android calendar on a Samsung based rom, but got a lot sync issues.

An AOSP rom gives a clean, slick 'google' look and feel.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sam5154:
Ok, Itried this method and it worked.

I downloaded AOSP calndar from Wanamlite.

before installing the .zip file, I made a whole backup using Titnium backup. Then I installed .zip file.

After Rebooting I've restored the application named:

[CALENDAR] Calendar Storage 4.0.3-****

where **** is ROM version (for me it is XWLP3).

If you check sync section you would see that Calendar Option is back again.

P.S. I'm not sure. but I guess this method will only work on Official and official-based ICS Roms

[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
Galaxy Note or Nexus. Rogers also has the SII LTE which would also be a good choice assuming you want a smaller note without well the note part. They also have the Razr which .... well its a motorola phone and is inferior to the Nexus (Razr owners don't hate) and it's not the Razr Maxx with the amazing battery

Also if you are still in your contract and want a phone to ride out the rest of t I would suggest picking up a Lumia 710 off contract, they are $250
[General Questions and Answers] wongccf:
For Rogers, if you need now and have LTE data then, SG2 all the way.

The Galaxy Note is just huge ... How are you goign to walk around with that and talk on it? (my opinion at least)

The Moto Razr is not bad either, if you don't have have LTE this would be my choice. It's kind of skinny for my liking but that's personal preference.

The Nexus is a good choice since it has ice cream sandwich out of the box, if that's what you like. Not sure if the SG2 has ICS yet though or when.

If you wait, I think SG3 will come out soon maybe within half a year, hopefully sooner.
