Did they by any chance fix the Bluetooth voice dialing issue in the stable version (CYAN-2095)

I am on RC2 so I guess I can test myself once I upgrade, but I have not gotten around to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
yeah man, I'm excited about that too. I noticed comments that it was fixed in 10.2, and was trying to be patient about when it would be applied to 10.1. I still don't fully understand how that bug was ever there in the first place (maybe it was an issue specific to the i777 -which 4.2.2 wasn't designed for?), but whatever, I'm happy here until 10.2 rc shows up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbrown23:
So far the 9/23 nightly build of 10.2 has been solid. Only thing I've noticed is a couple of times after reboots I've had to reselect Nova as my launcher. Other than that it's been fast, and good battery life so far. Still keeping an eye out for issues.

Right now there's a new "ROM Central" forum here.

There are a lot of blockers that are going to prevent any Galaxy S1/S2 family device (specifically, any with unified kernel/recovery) from working properly. Building TWRP on userdebug builds needs to be fixed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
Would you (or anyone) consider giving a field report of the Oct 28th nightly? I'm running CM 10.1 "stable" and am thinking about trying 10.2 until the Nexus 5 comes out if it's decently stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
It is as stable as 10.1 "stable", if you ask me. The best way to find out is nandroid backup -> flash 10.2 nightly and see it yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Just now downloading 28th so I'm not there yet, but I'll report the 27th build is very usable (28th should be even more). I won't use the word stable because I'm sure there are issues like what Entropy512 points out. But as an end user just using the device the only issues that affect me are these;

Auto rotate reboot (hopefully fixed once I update)

Occasionally my cell connection will crash (not just data, complete loss of network) a quick reboot usually fixes that. This should be familiar to anyone using i777 on any cm build all the way back to the first ICS builds. (Probably other ROMs too, I don't mean to put blame on cm)

On recent nightly builds (not sure when it started, less than a week though) if you use Google voice for calls it shows incorrect numbers when making the call rather than showing who you're actually calling. This affects the call log as well. The calls still connect to the correct person though.

That's all that really bugs me off the top of my head.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
FYI, I don't have the cell connection crash issue (I had it for very short time period in early 10.2). Also I don't see the rotate crash, probably except when I use Youtube, but very rarely now (I used to have the issue a few weeks back). Your mileage may vary and that is the reason why I recommended to nandroid backup and try it out yourself to find the best answer. :)

PS: There is no "stable" in any Exynos device, I believe. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
This is exactly the answer I was curious about. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Yeah the rotate reboot was rare for me too. I've briefly tested 10/28 and can't get it to reboot in any of the usual places rotation would cause it, so I'm satisfied that it's fixed.

As for the signal crashing, in any given day I travel from 0 bars of 1g (just showing the G icon) to full bars of hspa+ (and areas I know have strong lte coverage as well). So I think my cell radio gets quite a workout jumping from tower to tower. I would imagine this puts me at higher likelihood to experience issues, but during times when I stay in one place for a long period of time and the signal is good (10 hours a day at work where there's lte) I have very few issues. The drive home sometimes creates a signal crash. The log folder on my internal storage has tons of radio logs (I'm guessing from crashing, not counting the 0 size files, still have plenty)

At this point I'm considering the lg g2 for my next device, does anyone here know if lg is as bad as Samsung about things?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
Both of them are two big companies in Korea and LG is runner up so it might do a better job in a short term but who knows. I was actually pretty surprised with Sammy's dev relationship initially as Sammy does not have a good reputation to be customer friendly in Korea. It is very influential in both economy and politics in Korea - South Korea is also called the Republic of Samsung, if you haven't heard of this already.

If I ever buy my next Android phone, that will be a Nexus. Until then, I will stick with S2 - I won't care if there is no further support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] corruptsoul:
Are you using a Mac? Because with 4.1, you need a file management software from android.com to mount your phone on OS X.

Well, everything installed and loaded fine, but I did get the same error. I didn't notice at first, as the phone was in my pocket... Fingers crossed this gets sorted out like CM9.

I'm using windows 7. My computer can recognize the phone as i777 but another driver try to install and gives me am error (that's probably mounting the removable sd) I don't know I'm just guessing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rk249:
+1

I was also wondering about that icon. Whats it for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
In this case, supposedly there were issues on some devices with the mediascanner file cache using too much memory.

So they removed it, and it's obvious it had more performance impact than they expected.

Yeah, and if you find that CM10 doesn't meet your needs, you'll be wiping anyway.

It usually takes me less than 30 minutes to reconfigure everything after a fresh install... It's not that big of a deal.

Someone who is just learning should really not be messing with something this bleeding edge... Honestly, I think over 3/4 of the people flashing these previews aren't ready for something this experimental.

Screen density is 240 DPI just like it always has been on this device, no issue.

This is covered in the known issues on the very first post...

If you are unable to connect "mediascanner has issues" with not being able to see your media - perhaps you should not be running such an experimental release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
The little jelly bugdroid at the top left is the new USB Android debugging icon. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Thanks Entropy - I get your point. I suppose all the crazy-positive feedback on CM10 to-date has me thinking it's going to be a rock-solid ROM without much ado to do. Which, of course, leads into my belief that JB is the first "world-class" version of Android... from guts-to-gui.

30 minutes to reconfigure doesn't seem so bad at all. I presumed it was much more painful than that. Do you use TiBu as well? And if so, what backup/restore batches do you use? Is there a 'flasher's guide to backup/recovery' somewhere on XDA where I can check all the boxes?

I might hang out on stock GB until CM10 is more ready, or I will dive into CM9 just to get practice with flashing. Not sure yet.

But, just to confirm: Once you're on a ROM like CM10, as new updates come out, flashing that ROM does not require a wipe, and therefore, all settings/apps/data on the phone remain in tact just as if you rebooted the phone? If this is the case, I might be much more interested in going custom ROMs than I had been previously.

Thx again.

Jon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rk249:
CM10 is working well but it'll take some to get a really stable build. JB is not a major overhaul, its adds some nice features and more smothness, but ICS was the really big jump.

TiBu has a batch backup feature where you can chose the type of back you want. You can schedule backups to happen at certain times. Its best to only back user apps and their data. DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEMS APPS. Theres a lot to learn so just keeping the stickys and stuff here on xda, theres a ton of info.

Regarding flashings roms, its always recommended to wipe before flashing but not necessary. If you do have problems then you'll have to fully wipe. This only works with updates of a rom. You cant flash CM9/CM10 over AOKP or samsung Roms without fully wiping. So if are gonna try other roms you'll have to fully wipe and if you use TiBu then all you have to configure is accounts and systems settings which doesn't take time.

As I only do full wipes I cant comment on system settings staying the same, but there is no change with apps and data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] corruptsoul:
Does anything happen on the phone? It should prompt you to enable USB mode or something. Just have to enable it so it safely mounts the USB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Thanks for this. I think I'm coming off more green than I actually am -- as I've done all the batch bu work with TiBu already. Perhaps I've covered all the bases I need to.

FYI - I've been hovering and watching these boards for years, and I used to be a flash wh0re on Windows Mobile. But with the GS2, I've invested so much time in getting it just right for me that I'm concerned about losing my investment. And Flashing on Android seems to be more complex than on WinMo.

That said, my stock GB GS2 is suffering from SBD syndrome (sudden-battery-drain), which makes it unacceptable as a daily driver.

As a result, I'm ready to jump ship from stock since stock is now letting me down with reliability. My friend showed me his GNex w/JB and... want. But I prefer the GS2 hardware to GNex hardware. So, my ultimate goal here is to get to JB on my GS2 ASAP, because I a) want better reliability and b) I want JB.

Cheers,

Jon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rk249:
Well this CM10 build certainly wont help with battery. CM9 was tops, this will get there eventually. With a few custom kernel updates coming, that might help with battery a bit. I was flashing a rom a day at one point, but fell in love with CM9 coz of the great battery and performance balance. You should try it, it'll atleast give you some JB action in the form of ICS and get you away from that god awful GB.

With regards to seeing files on an external SD card, I found that after I used Astro file manager to look at files on my external SD they finally showed up in the gallery. In Astro my external was labeled as sdcard1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
Gotta love canned responses.

Allow me to be more specific. I know that the phones dpi is set to 240. This is obvious. Im asking if anyone has successfully been able to lower it . When I set it to 200, it didnt do anything except fudge up my keyboard to the point of being unusable. Throughout GB and ICS I have had it set to 200 and fell in love with it and it now feels normal to me. Now when using it back at 240 i feel like im staring at that jitterbug cell phone. I am not complaining. I simply want to know if anyone has found a method for successfully lowering the dpi. This ROM kicks ass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Considering that little icon is sort of the logo for JB, would be cool if it was the messaging icon :D oh well, it can be easily modified :D

No clue for CM, xplodwild is going to start looking at Omni + KitKat + I9300 this weekend, but who knows how well it'll progress. Once I9300 is up, galaxys2-common should be easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I see there's a build of omni for i9100, but its 4.3. I'm guessing its in our best interest on i777 to be patient and stick with cm for now and see if a 4.4 build becomes usable enough for release?

Also I saw your g+ posts about i777 and wallet, that's cool stuff! Is that baked into cm enough to work or are you using a different setup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Not CM, omni.

Omni on exynos4 - Mostly working, RIL should work but none of us have tested it with a SIM (well, maybe herna and chasmodo have on n7000 - if it works on n7000 it'll work on i777). liblight is 100% derped - can't control backlight brightness or anything. Hope to fix it this weekend.

Bad news is - host card emulation for NXP NFC controllers is almost completely missing. There's nothing blocking/preventing it from working but a lot just plain isn't there. But at least, in theory, with a decent amount of time and understanding of how the chip works and an analysis of the SimplyTapp team's original HCE patches for CM9/10, it SHOULD be possible to get Wallet working on the i777.

Thanks everyone, and especially entropy512, for making the experience with the phone much more enjoyable.

I am likely jumping to Nexus 5 and I will probably stay with Google stock until Omni stabilizes. Hope to see you soon there.

Looks like omni builds showed up for i777.

Still early so it looks like there some issues, but amazing headway, and its 4.4. I didn't test long though. To anyone who wants to try it, be warned, flashing back to cm isn't a walk in the park. You'll get build prop asserts. I had to flash cwm (omni comes with twrp) and restore from a nandroid (which you better make!)

One thing I can't live without from cm right now is voice+. At some point I'll see if I can pull the apk and try to use it with omni, but we'll see how that goes.

Except that since xplodwild's family was borrowing his i9100, the i777 is actually ahead of the i9100.

I haven't had time to make a thread yet. Be warned, the i777 is pretty low on my device priority list, pretty much any haxxinos4 is....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Seeing as you were our CM maintainer, and we currently don't have a maintainer on CM, wouldn't it make sense that even with this device being low priority its likely (not guaranteed) that we'll have a similar level of usability on omni as we currently do on cm? Only thing I can think to say otherwise is cm inc people could take up the task of fixing stuff on our device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yeah, omni is going to be around the same level of usability on CM... if not more.

There's a guy with an I9100 or I9300 (not sure which) who has been taking on the insane task of attempting to integrate the latest Insignal source drop... It requires completely reworking the kernel and is also going to require reworking camera on all Exynos4 devices, among other things.

I might pitch in if all the other Omni stuff calms down. As a result of how things have gone, I'm doing a lot of general review of submissions as opposed to directly working on fixing stuff myself (other than the Qualcomm sensors nightmare - but now that that's over I'm doing minor cleanup across multiple devices.)

I did. It's quite usable. Omni doesn't feel as polished as cm. Mainly the settings app feels cluttered with features but still lacking some things that most of us have grown used to from cm.

To be honest once cm11 nightly builds start for i777 and there is a solid gapps I'll probably switch back from omni to cm.

Omni's one feature that I find amazing is open delta, which has its bugs (its still young) but even so is amazing compared to cmupdater and I hope cm considers adopting it.
