[Galaxy S II General] TrainAss:
First off, Thank you. SOO very much for the rooting instructions. I lost my Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9000m) on Saturday to a corrupted internal SD card. This was an issue with the Bell SGS, and I got lucky.

Did some hunting around, and when no one would sell me an SGS3 (and those that were selling it, had a huge markup.), and the Nexus was out of stock everywhere, I settled on the SGS2 HD LTE. It's similar specced to the SGS3, only a lower-res screen (which, TBH, is fine with me). When I saw your rooting instructions, I was very excited. I've held off on your ICS Rom for a bit, but am watching it closely. I'll flash it soon, I'm sure. Especially once the speed issues have been resolved. I'm not a dev, so I can't really offer any assistance. I've never programmed w/Android before either.

Have you asked in any of the other forums for assistance? Someone might be able to shed some light on the issues.
[Galaxy S II General] jsr84:
All the info I can find on the 2 devices show they have the same resolution at 1280 x 720, and the S2 HD has a higher pixel density.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Hi guys,

I just found something in the kernel related to the SD card drive that was not enabled:

# CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE is not set

I've noticed on the stock GB ROM, as well as in ICS kernels for other devices such as the Skyrocket, have this enabled. Perhaps this may be the reason for SD card flashing issues. Nonetheless, I'll put out a new recovery image perhaps tonight when I get back from my long weekend vacation. Apparently this parameter also enhances the read/write speed.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I know a Bell employee in Toronto who has had this ICS ROM for a couple of weeks and has strung me along, saying he could provide me some files from it (but is afraid for his job/privacy if he dumps it). Well I've emailed him twice the last several days, even left my cell #, saying that I could come over with my laptop and get the required files, but he hasn't responded. I'm even in Toronto on holiday at the moment without a response from him. Really REALLY annoying... I understand that he's concerned about his job, but why lead us on like that???

I've been trying to fit whatever time I can this long weekend (Canada Day, bro-in-law's marriage) to get something to work but have had no luck. I've notified MobileSyrup, Engadget, etc. to at least get some exposure and development interest for this device, but nobody seems to care. If devices like the Rogers GS2 get attention and coverage for CM9, why not our superior device?

If someone here could at least download the sources that would be a help.. I am by no means a hacker or an experienced AOSP/CM developer; I've figured almost everything out so far by Googling. We just need another person here with pretty good Linux experience and above-average knowledge of ADB. Also, C programming and knowledge of Makefiles is not required but an asset.

Start here: https://github.com/dsixda
[Galaxy S II General] the_leviathan:
First off, happy Canada day to you sir.

Second, I've recently been subjected to some pretty serious crap at work, resulting in dramatically reduced hours for the rest of the summer. Hooray :/

The good news is that now I have time to do some reading and get into development. Hopefully soon I'll be out of testing and will be able to give you the support you've been asking for. I've got some experience with Linux and programming, so at least that's a start.

Keep up the good work man, I'll keep you posted.
[Galaxy S II General] TrainAss:
I read on Samsung's website that the S2 HD LTE wasn't as high., but you're right. WIN!

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

This is prob. a stupid question, but I shouldn't have an issue flashing your rom, and then if I wanted to, go back to the (hacked) GB rom that the phone came with (provided by your links) right?
[Galaxy S II General] the_leviathan:
I've done this myself in the early stages of testing, there is no issue switching between roms sir.
[Galaxy S II General] TrainAss:
excellent. I'm really missing ICS
[Galaxy S II General] the_leviathan:
Dsixda has really done a superb job in an incredibly small window of time.

I've been using the alpha as my primary OS for about a week now and, save a few of the little things (particularly lack of private calling which I use everyday at work), it runs silky smooth
[Galaxy S II General] thechabs:
dsixda - is upload complete?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
If it's not there then it's not.. I tried twice today

Server problems
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Just download to try CM10 and very impressed with camera VIDEO - way better quality than CM9. Is there any chance to get the same quality on CM9 after official update out?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
A lot of files have changed in this new update from Bell, when compared to the leak I had received almost two months ago.

I have a build running right now, but I have a visit to the doctor coming up in a few minutes (this work comes at a price to my body ;))
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
I can live without it, if it comes at a price of your health. I am truly grateful for all your hard work!
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Thanks. And have a good luck - sometimes we need it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Ok, back from my injections :laugh:

Don't worry, I'm fine, kinda.

I'm uploading a new CM9 version, with many binaries replaced with those found in the new ICS update from Bell. I don't see much difference at first try, but you may want to download anyway, since the previous binaries were from the old leaked test ROM.

Give it about 45 minutes and you'll see the August 28th "B" build. There is already an August 28th build from last night, but this will have a "b" after the date. I'm also uploading the Bell 4.0.4 factory image at the same time, so that's why it'll take a while.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
BTW if you got the latest modem from the recent ICS stock update, you will see it show up as I757MUGLH2 under "Baseband", instead of seeing Unknown.
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
"

cm-9-20120828b-UNOFFICIAL-celoxhd.zip

- Updated with many new binaries from latest Bell ICS update, including for Wi-Fi, camera, DivX, GPS, audio, and RIL

- Synced up with latest upstream changes to CM9 sources"

Touch to focus included in this change for the camera or am i SOL once again?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Lol..Just give it up man. ;) If you really want it then ask Cyanogen himself. Just dropping a file from Samsung TouchWiz camera isn't going to make it automatically work in CyanogenMod. You need to write the code in CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
:crying:
[Galaxy S II General] LVNona:
Just download and flash 28b build rom. And baseband still Unknown. + About shows it's 28 build without "B" and Camera VIDEO the same bad as before. Strange or it's supposed to be like that?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I'm amazed art how Samsung took ics which is very pretty and made it look like an updated gingerbread build.. strait back to cm9 or 10
[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
Yup that's what touchwiz does to android :(
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Thank goodness for dsixda otherwise we would all be stuck in that junky stock ics.. thanks dsixda for saving our phones from a life of well ugly.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Uploading August 29th build. Looks like I missed a few binaries from the Bell update. Please wait 25 minutes
[Galaxy S II General] Flickspeed:
chasse

I was kinda expecting that... Now I hope we can get a polished CM9 build with final binaries and everything working.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
haha :laugh:

Like I said above, simply dropping a binary isn't going to make something automatically work. There are parts that will probably never be fixed, such as VOIP, because of the way stock ICS was designed, which required Samsung to make some proprietary hacks on their phones to make it work on their TouchWiz ROM.

VOIP is working in the CM10 build however.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Does the phone work for others using the 28th B build? Was a no-go here and I rolled back to the 23rd.

Will try 29th.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Phone works with the 29th build. Still unknown baseband.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Not unknown for me...

You need to flash the stock 4.0.4 to get the ICS modem. If you have the GB modem then obviously it won't show up.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Thx dsixda, I missed that part
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I flashed the rooted 4.0.4 and mind still doesn't show
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Does it make any functional difference?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
That's because it doesn't have the modem..
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It gives you 5G LTE.

I don't know, I don't work for Samsung nor do they provide release notes.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Thanks dsixda
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I'll try to post the modem as a flashable zip sometime on Thursday
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Nevermind, it's up now..

See my dev-host account, under the 'factory images' folder. You'll need to flash this modem from ClockworkMod recovery.

ICS_modem_I757MUGLH2-flash_this_in_CWM.zip
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Sorry to ask bud, but what does the modem do for the rom/os
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I don't know man, how come I'm tech support all of a sudden in these threads LOL. Just google it, I just build and upload stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Doh! I should have been reading XDA not playing w/ my phone. I guess I did it the hard way.

Created nandroid backup

Renamed stock_ics_I757MUGLH2_I757MOYCLH2_I757MUGLH2_HOME.tar.md5 by removing the .md5

Flashed stock_ics_I757MUGLH2_I757MOYCLH2_I757MUGLH2_HOME.tar using Odin PDA section

Reloaded cwm_recovery_6.0.1.1_i757m via Odin bootloader

Restored nandroid backup

Baseband now shows ok
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Thanks again for the great work on this ROM. I know you said you didn't think adding the new binaries would help much, but since updating to your latest build, I'm finding my phone much snappier.

Like everyone else, I'm always looking to have the latest and greatest features working on my phone, I'd rather you stay healthy than try to push new updates every day. I also agree with your decision to wait until CM10 becomes more stable before putting a lot of work into it. If I didn't use my phone for music listening then I would have your CM10 build on it.

You rock. Small donation on it's way.
[Galaxy S II General] Toroncan:
Hi Guys, anyone know how to enable Auto-answer for a blue tooth headset,

I rooted and flashed CM9
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
There's no internal CM9 function that I know of to do this. You will need an App (Play Store has several but none list Bluetooth). Tasker can do this with some tweaking.
[Galaxy S II General] Toroncan:
That's weird because I had it running before, but it reverted back for some unknown reason. I tend to walk around the house with my Bluetooth headset because I don't have a land line. Anyway thanks for the reply, if I find it I will repost.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I did include "net.bt.name=Android" in build.prop in the last CM9 build. Maybe that has something to do with it? See what happens if you remove that line in /system/build.prop.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Uploading a September 1st build to my dev-host account.. Please wait about 20 minutes.
[Galaxy S II General] Dreadnott 117:
MMS info

This is more of a general message for everyone running this rom on their HD LTE, not just you dsixda ;) I'm using Go SMS Pro on my phone, and while the stock messaging app works fine for multimedia messages, Go seems to be missing some required info to properly handle them. On the stock roms, the app automatically filled these fields in and worked straight from instal, but it seems something is missing this time around.

Anyone have any idea where I can track this info down and/or knows it themselves?

On a side note, I've been following your work for a while dsixda, since you first posted about CWM to the present. Very impressive work. CM9 works great, and after trying out the official ICS upgrade a few days ago, I can honestly say your rom blows theirs out of the water. I'm eagerly looking forward to CM10 reaching a state of readiness that I feel I can use it on a day to day basis.
[Galaxy S II General] romazu:
Hey guys,

Have a problem here. Had a stock ICS 4.0.4 from Bell since 3 days ago, and it seems I got the common CM9 issue of no sound during calls. It doesn't happen every time, but about 70% of the time either when I call or when someone calls me, there is absolutely no sound going both ways. So I wiped everything according to instructions here, flashed dsi's cm9 and gapps, which didn't fix the issue. I then rewiped and reflashed everything + the modem, which didn't fix it either. The ROM is amazing and everything works great (data, gps, bt, camera, audio, etc.), except for the calls.

I was digging around and everything points to the modem, since both the stock ICS and the CM9 use the same one.

Is there any other modem I can use with this cm9 build?

or should I and can I revert back to the stock Gingerbread safely?

P.S. all the data is backed up with Google and on my PC, so I can wipe anything and everything.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Try reflashing the stock ics modem by itself. I have it up there in the factory image section. Otherwise it's probably a coincidental problem with Bell in your area..
[Galaxy S II General] romazu:
done that. I'll try everything once again right now, if it doesn't work, gonna have to go back to GB. do you have the original gb modem by any chance?
[Galaxy S II General] wing851:
I saw the 4.0.4 Bell is this a newer CWM flashable file?

Is there a new ICS modem?

If so is it possible for someone to make a CWM flashable modem file?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
There already is if you go to the first post you will find the download link.
[Galaxy S II General] wing851:
Jonnyjb...have you used this new modem yet? Any difference?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I'm using it now but went back to stock then flashed cm9 then cm10. But it's been pretty much the same. Reception wise
[Galaxy S II General] wing851:
Thanks for the info
[Galaxy S II General] romazu:
Guys, can anyone help me with this? Is there any way I can roll back to the original radio/modem?

I have tried all kinds of radios from other phones, some of them are lousy, some don't work at all, but only the original GB one was good. Does anyone know where to get it?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Flash back the stock ROM from sammobile.com or wait for me to post a CWM-flashable version of the modem by itself.
[Galaxy S II General] romazu:
thanks. i just didn't know if the radio was in the package or had to be installed separately. downloading the stock now.. thanks again.

as for the CM9, it works perfectly, very smooth and I got insane battery life.. from 9am at 100% till 6pm at 50% with email, calls and whatsapp usage.. was very impressed by how light the ROM really is.

UPD: flashed stock gb with odin, the calls are back to normal, but the looks of ics and battery life r gone.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
So then flash CM9... you'll still have the GB modem
[Galaxy S II General] jayallen:
It seems that root no longer works. CWM says root possibly lost when rebooting and asks if I want to fix. Restarts and no root.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Try reinstalling the ROM and gapps. Wipe cache and Dalvik.
[Galaxy S II General] jayallen:
I guess I should have clarified. I'm running Bells version of ICS that I updated to yesterday. I don't want CM9. Just wanted root again.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Why are you posting in the CM9 thread?
[Galaxy S II General] jayallen:
Oh sorry. Selected wrong topic. Long day. My apologies.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No worries, I've uploaded a newer SU zip file on my dev-host. Please post any further questions over in the CWM thread.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
How's it going dsixda, bell sent me a replacement i757!! Good to be back, see you got a jelly bean on the go!!! Amazing stuff
[Galaxy S II General] romazu:
So technically, the modem and the rom/kernel are unconnected in terms of version requirements?

Will try to flash cm9 tonite. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
How did you manage to get a replacement? I coulda sold you mine ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I don't know

But if you flash the GB modem u will see 'Unknown' under Baseband in the 'About' screen..

Cyanogen mod 9

hello

i would like to get rid of the cyanogen mod off my HD LTE but im pretty sure i didnt back up my original samsung software. How can i get back please. If i get help ill be sure to donate.
[Galaxy S II General] markdexter:
Download odin 1.85

Download the stock firmware from sam mobile.com

Flash it with odin.

If you need to know how to do that.........you shouldnt be running any custom rom in the first place.......or

Wait till i can get to a computer and type it out, because my thumbs are sore

Yeah i know i shouldn't! Thats the reason i want to get rid of it so i dont mess anything up! :) please do give me a little walkthrough ahhahaha
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Hi guys,

Just a heads-up, I may be selling this phone soon, as I hardly use it anymore and really don't have the incentive to keep it around (lack of public interest, I need the money, I have shoulder and wrist issues affecting computer use, etc.).

If someone wants to take over this project, please let me know. The build Instructions are on my Github page.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Oh sad to see you go. But your health is more important. Thanks for all the work you have done, you have bettered our phone. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
dsixda - sorry to hear that you are dropping the project. It is more than understandable. Given that I am committed to using this phone for the next few years (corporate plan) I may give things a go. I am by no means a developer or even any form of coder but I can throw up a linux VM and take a stab at it.

Do you mean to say that if I follow the directions posted on https://github.com/dsixda/android_device_samsung_celoxhd that this will build from the latest CM9 sources and output a zip like what you post on your dev-host page?

There is a note "You'll need to install some binaries, but those are the basic instructions. Google for the full setup details" but I'm not sure what blobs I need to Google. Can you provide a little more detail?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yes. You really don't need any coding experience.. unless you really want to change something. I only changed some code once but after a while I undid it anyway.

I meant to Google for the full setup details for CyanogenMod 9 to see what binaries you need.

e.g...

Google "compile Cyanogenmod 9 for ubuntu" ...

Gets you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604127

Follow the first few steps to get the binaries (executable files) required for your build environment.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
I'll give it a go hopefully this weekend. If I run into any issues that I cannot Google to figure out can I run them by you?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Thanks for given it a go i hope you have good luck with it.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
dsxida - ok I am in the process of getting things setup. The next question I have is what happens to all the build changes that you have made? How do I sync those?

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

I'm attempting to answer my own question, please feel free to correct me.

I take it that adding your github repositories to the local_manifest.xml takes care of this.

Waiting on repo sync ... takes a looooong time.

Next question: Will the build instructions automatically build the latest stable CM9? (aka CM9.1?)
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No no no no no......

Don't extract any proprietary files. Those are already in the celoxhd vendor repository. Just get the binaries for Ubuntu that I already mentioned above in the link.
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Ok, I wiped my repo and started with a fresh sync; compiled for 54 minutes while I was out and I ran out of room on my disk :)

Resized and continuing. So far it looks promising.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Compile complete! I now have a "cm-9-20120908-UNOFFICIAL-celoxhd.zip" file.

What do you recommend next? Can this be tested w/ the android emulator or do you just nandroid backup your phone then update to test?

After this I'll be interested in learning how to switch Cyanogenmod channels, eg. from 9.0 to 9.1 or to 10 etc..
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
I honestly wish that I had better understanding of development. I would love to continue this project. It just cannot happen since this has become my primary phone and I seem to be the only one whose battery performance on CM9 (on both my Atrix & S2 HD LTE) has been at tops 8 hours off a full charge.

I want to thank-you so much for providing a rooted Samsung/Bell 4.0.4 Rooted Stock ROM! It has been a huge help!!
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
I loaded the build I compiled onto my phone and it seems to be operating as normal. I'd like to figure out how to change to CM9.1 but there is little on Google about that yet.

Dsixda - you aren't getting rid of you github repo anytime soon are you? I'd like to take a stab @ CM10.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It should automatically have the latest CyanogenMod version on the ics branch.

No I'm not taking down my repo, that's a lot of work I put into it.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
This sound promising!
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Took a stab @ CM10 by changing the repo & manifest revision from ics to jellybean. It compiled and looked to install correctly but doesn't display anything. I have a feeling that it is booting since my PC detects it after a little bit when it is plugged in.

Did I miss something?
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
What are the ICS & GB modem's for in your downloads?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No don't do that, your going to mess things up! Create a new folder for CM10. Change to the jelly bean branch in my github for the device repo and follow the instructions I already have there.

The repositories are different too, not just the branch name..

For people who keep asking for it because they didn't flash the stock ROM
[Galaxy S II General] crlogic:
Sorry, I didn't tell the complete story. Since I was unsure what to do to move to CM10 I actually cloned my build VM and did a fresh repo pull. So CM9 and CM10 are on separate VM's.

I didn't see any instructions in your github for CM10, can you point me in the right direction?

And just to clarify even further; when I said I changed the repo and manifest to jellybean this is exactly what I changed:

~/bin/repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_msm8660-common" path="device/samsung/msm8660-common" remote="github" revision="jellybean" />

<project name="dsixda/android_device_samsung_celoxhd" path="device/samsung/celoxhd" revision="jellybean" />

<project name="dsixda/android_kernel_samsung_msm8660-common" path="kernel/samsung/msm8660-common" revision="jellybean" />

<project name="dsixda/android_vendor_samsung_celoxhd" path="vendor/samsung/celoxhd" revision="jellybean" />​
[Galaxy S II General] maydax:
In the same place the ICS instructions are there is a pull down for branch where you can select jellybean
