The S2, while definitely long in tooth, is still a fairly solid phone. Especially if you're not a very demanding user. The main reason i don't use mine is because I'd lose LTE and that would suck. I actually liked the phone. Hey, at least it's not a Blackberry. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Don't hold your breath, but the i9100 got official cm11 nightly support just now. i777 could possibly come soon, but again don't get your hopes up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dollardollar:
Still holding up the hopes for CM11,

why isn't it been implemented on our phones, generally it would been released immediately after i9100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
There's a commit on gerrit that needs to merge before i777 will build cm11
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] d_j_l:
Is it this one?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54090/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Yep, that's it. Once that's merged Hudson will need to be updated to cm11 nightly instead of cm10.2 weekly, and then we'll be all set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dollardollar:
And when would that happen,

Why is it holding back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
Looks like it's gonna get merged soon, assuming RC gets things sorted with who is going to be the i777 maintainer going forward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
We don't have a maintainer yet. That may change based on the comments though.

I will probably keep building and +1'ing personally on my machine, if Sam doesn't take the maintainer spot (I hope he does) I will try and gear up to do it. But I have a lot to learn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sam3000:

Thank you so much. What kind of nightlies, CM10.2 or CM11?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sam3000:

For those building themselves right now, do you have any i777 specific issues that need looking at ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Here are my unofficial builds.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1s51iaf8gc5qahk/0wAMez3rcQ

The only thing I've done is cherry pick the gerrit commit that Sam has been commenting on (I'm Eric from those comments BTW).

Question, what does one actually need to be a maintainer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dollardollar:
Thanks, will try immediately.

Seems like you were building these for few days. Were all the changes from i9100 merged
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
should be. all the builds are synced with the latest cm11 sources.

i've been posting these builds in renderbroken's thread (see my sig, dev thread) theres a guide in op#3 i wrote on how to make your own builds. his builds started as just cm11 but he's trying to add other stuff, and he doesnt post nightly (there's not always important updates so i dont blame him)

all i've done is setup a build script to be run on a cron job for the following;

sync latest cm changes

cherry pick the gerrit change we need

build the rom

move it to my local dropbox folder (which automatically syncs online once it's able)

remove builds older than 4 days old

which is almost identical to what cm build servers do anyway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
just a heads up, my unofficial builds link has changed to https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9xpf4qundumgy02/Z2ZWofz1qI my sig is updated already to show the new link

The last commit we needed was merged, official cm nightly builds are one step closer. Now all we need is for someone to flip the switch for our builds from 10.2 weekly to 11.0 nightly

What weekly build do we get this weekend, cm11 or cm10.2? just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
10.2, unless the switch to CM11 nightlies gets merged in tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sam3000:

Flashed last night, no problems so far and smooth as butter. Wiped/reset data, cache and dalvick twice. Installed 2x and then installed gapps. No issues or FC's during setup. Coming from AOKP.

Thanks Entropy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Sounds like it may be an issue when coming from something that uses the siyah kernel. Maybe something about the siyah kernel being based from the i9100 is causing it. If you are on a ucle5 ROM then just flash AJs stock kernel, reboot it and make sure it comes up. Then boot back to recovery and follow the directions to flash CM10.

What I did (since I am NOT near a PC being on vacation) was I extracted the build.prop from CM10 ROM, used root explorer and pasted it into /system overwriting the current build.prop. Booted into recovery and flashed the CM10 firmware followed by the 7/26 gapps, then reboot phone and it all worked perfectly. I believe someone a few pages ago had even posted up the build.prop to just download and paste in.

I currently manually hell raised the i9100 CM10 7/29/2012 and flashed it with no issues also.

ONLY the first time did I perform a FULL wipe and then install. After that my normal since CM7 on my captivate and on my sgs2 was to go to recovery and wipe cache then wipe dalvich cache then flash the newer update and then gapps.

I also use tibu (always have) to restore MOST apps with no data (OF COURSE NO SYSTEM APPS). Most if not all the GOOGLE apps you will not be able to restore apps so you usually have to end up downloading it from the market.

Next once I download any of my apps from the market like xda app I then CAN use tibu to restore ONLY the xda apps data. As long as it is the same version of .apk.

It has always been said NOT to use tibu to restore with CM. Mainly because IF something gets restored from a system app/setting/etc. You will have an issue. So it takes time to KNOW which apps you can and which you cannot restore. The SAME things goes WHENEVER you are going from one android version to another. It will cause issues.I remember going from eclair to froyo and NONE of the apps would work properly, then the same going from froyo to gingerbread to ICS. Some MAY work but your taking a risk. So it is ALWAYS cleaner to download the app from the market for a clean fresh feeling...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Teaching time, although this thread is really not the right place for it, I'll do it here anyway. Entropy might say, and I'll definitely say, if you don't know how to install this, then you probably shouldn't be using an experimental version.

But if you really want to...

The kernel and the modem (baseband) have nothing to do with why you cannot get the install to run. The reason is an assert in the install script. What this means is that the install script looks in the build.prop file and reads a line of information which tells which phone the script is running on. So if your build.prop file reports that you are running on GT-I9100 (or any phone other than SGH-I777), then the install script will abort. The build.prop is a part of the system (firmware) not of the kernel or modem.

So there are two ways to fix the problem. 1) remove the assert line in the install script 2) change the line in the build.prop of your existing firmware which reports which phone you are using. You are evidently having trouble with method 1. I think I read that you tried that and it didn't work for you. So try method 2, which I think is the easier method anyway. Here's how.

This assumes that you currently have a firmware that has been ported from the GT-I9100, such as SHOstock2. Use a root file explorer to open /system/build.prop with a text editor. Change the line that reads "ro.product.device=GT-I9100" to "ro.product.device=SGH-I777" and for good measure, also change the "ro.build.product" key to the same value. Do not change anything else, save and exit.

Reboot your phone and try the installation again, with a new download of the install zip file (one in which you have not changed the install script.)

Paranoid Android! Able to change dpi to anything without any effect on google play store.

But so much more than that, dpi changes per app!! And the ability to change ui between phone mode, hybrid mode, and tablet mode (with varying sizes of each.

You'll be blown away. It's based on cm10 also. Here's screen shots of my phone in small tablet mode:

Notifications

Google now access by Swyping up from on screen home button

And for those wondering, at the time of the above screenshots, my screen on time was just over 2 hours, almost 2hrs 15 min(seems like I had .5% battery drain per hour through the night)

Edit: and entropy512 is right about dpi changes. It can change alot with unintentional consequences. For the google apps there are hybrid ones for rooms that can switch between tablet mode and phone mode.

Above all know what you're doing when touching dpi's and be ready to be on your own if problems arise. Alot of trial and error.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Then why did you post complaining about an "issue"? There is no issue. You broke your device by performing an unsupported modification, plain and simple.

Alternative DPIs have never been supported by CM, and likely never will - especially with Jellybean. It breaks the layout of gapps, for example.

So don't ask about "issues" with **** that you broke, and please don't even clutter this thread with discussions about it. This is the discussion thread for CM 10, not "ohaithereihackeditup10".

If you have changed the DPI, it is no longer CM10 and is now an unsupported hackjob, and hence discussion of it does not belong in this thread.

Updates to CM9 or CM10 can be flashed without wiping. (of course going from 9 to 10 and vice versa does require wiping).

I do use TiBu but I know enough to identify when a bad restore happened. The reason TiBu is officially unsupported by CM is that we don't want reports from users that there's a problem with CM when it is in fact a bad restore.

Going from ICS to JB is more likely to have restore problems due to the changes in storage configuration. For example, Dead Trigger wouldn't restore properly for me.

I use:

TiBu for apps

SMS Backup and Restore for... well that should be obvious

Call Logs Backup and Restore - also obvious. :)

Yup, thats exactly what I did. Method 2 is easiest, when I opened my build.prop I found GT-I9100 and I9100 in two places changed that and flashed CM10 easily.

Thanks creepyncrawly for explaining how that works in detail. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sjwaste:
I apologize, this might be the most nooberiffic of my posts.

Is there an option somewhere in CM10 to turn off any sort of USB storage mounting by default? I'm looking, and after I plug into my work laptop, I have a menu that lets me click to select either MTP or PTP, but not to turn off mounting the storage partitions entirely. I just want to plug in and charge without mounting external storage to keep things separate. I couldn't find any way to turn it off and I think it could be lack of sleep setting in, but maybe I'm not crazy?

Thanks! This is definitely a daily driver and by far the best Android experience to date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
There's really no reason to turn it off. If you dont select it, it wont mount to your PC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drjim:
I really appreciate the support, creepy. Though I've flashed many ROMs in my day, it's because I'm pretty good at following directions and persisting when I run into problems (and asking for help), not because I really understand what's going on.

In any event, using a JOTA text editor, I made the changes you suggested, but it wouldn't save the file. I tried another editor and it also wouldn't save. I'm running Serendipity 9.4 and, as you indicated, the build.prop file did say GT-I9100.

Can we revisit Method 1? I have the updater-script open on my PC in Notepad and see: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "i777" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i777" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I777" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i777" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I777" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SGH-I777");

Then a bunch of other code. Should I change all of the SGH-I777 to GT-I9100? Or remove the entire line? If so, all of the getprop code? BTW, the next bit of code after what appears to be the end of the assert begins with: mount("ext4", "EMMC". Does that make sense?

Or should I just not go there and wait for a stable beta version to be released? :->

Again, thanks for taking the time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I have a basic understanding of updater scripts, but I never build them so I'm not really familiar with the parameters. That line looks redundant just off the top of my head. If I were going to try to change that line, I would have to go googling for information about the parameters of the assert command. (EDIT: If you use the proper editor, such as notepad++, remove the entire first line including any CR & LF characters, and replace the modified updater-script into the zip file without damaging it, so that the second line is now the first line, then the install should run. I have no idea why the developer put the boolean tests in three times for each key. Your idea of changing all the values to GT-I9100 might work also, but why even try?)

I would still suggest you edit the build.prop in your Serendipity firmware. Looks like you didn't have read/write permissions. What root file manager are you using? In root explorer, you first change to read/write permission for the system directory, then long press on build.prop and choose "Open with text editor." I'm not familiar with other root file editors, but they should all have similar functionality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Here's your answer. Try that download link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Just use the text editor (I use Notepad++) and JUST DELETE out ALL the get-prop lines so file starts at: mount("ext4 like you see in my screen shot.

It doesn't matter HOW LONG you wait for a stable, that is up to you. You will ALWAYS have the SAME EXACT ISSUE whenever you try to flash it as long as your build.prop shows the GT-I9100 in it.

Use a file explorer like SolidExplorer /ES File Explorer/Root Explorer, its a system file you wont be able to edit it without a file explorer that has root access and can mount the system partition. The last two need to have their settings changed to allow root access and also select mount system partition. If you use Solid then just allow it root access and it'll edit build.prop but use the built-in text editors for these apps.

To edit updater-script do the following--

Hope that helps you.

Do you have "Root Explorer"? If so follow this and your life WILL BE much easier as well.

1. Download the build.prop I am linking below

http://db.tt/L6vZHTx0

2. Use Root Explorer and navigate to where the file downloaded

3. Long press on the file in root explorer and choose "COPY"

4. navigate back until you get to /system

5. "PASTE" and hit OK to overwrite (IFIT SAYS YOU CANNOT PASTE HERE THEN IN THE UPPER CORNER OF ROOT EXPLORER YOU WILL SEE A BUTTON FOR R/W or R/O. CHOOSE R/W THEN HIT PASTE AGAIN)

6. LONG PRESS the build.prop file again and choose/scroll to and choose "PERMISSIONS"

7. Click on the square buttons until it is set to READ/WRITE properly like in the screenshot below.

8. Hit OK

9. REBOOT to recovery

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

10. Choose install from sdcard (or internal sdcard, wherever you saved the CM10 ROM AND GAPPS).

11. FLASH BOTH the cm10 and Gapps BEFORE rebooting phone.

12. Once done reboot system now.

13. Welcome to CM10

SO you might find it more useful to edit the file yourself, no copy or paste that is. Replace galaxys2 or galaxys2att with SGH-i777. there are only like 3-4 occurrences.

Spend some time studying, practicing, and learning. Stick with stable firmware at this point, which at this time means ICS or less. Do different things with your phone so you'll have to learn how to use the file system, various tools, etc. Keep reading as much as you have time for. Before long you'll be up to speed. In the mean time, leave the experimental firmware to those who are experienced enough to use it. Maybe start learning how to make a theme. That's about the most straight forward type of development you can do, and you will learn a lot about your phone if you stick with it.
