Thank you

I've been a long time iPhone user, but I always yearned to have linux in my pocket.

Linux as grandma friendly operating system has always been a dream of mine, and thats exactly what android has done.

My girlfriend gave me her Galaxy S2 I777 a while back and I did use it for a little bit, but the battery life turned me off. So i went back to my iPhone 4S. Then I got a Nexus 7 as a gift. And then I realized that Cyanogenmod 10.1 is that same jelly bean and more. So I worked, I googled, and I geeked out like I haven't geeked out in a long long while.. and then much to my amazement after so much, I finally get it: I managed to install CM10.1 nightly on my previously dormant Galaxy S2.

And even though I had already had some experience on the Nexus 7, knowing that I had been secretly pining for the Nexus 4, I feel like I've cheated the system. I have the Nexus 4 experience, for $0. That excites me. So much so that I went on a shopping spree to pimp out my newly revamped S2. A case, a microSD card, cables, and batteries (3, they were cheap), to truly welcome the neglected samsung into my fold of gadgetry.

I'm aware that devices dont last forever, and I'm not necessarily expecting that they do, but the thought of support ending for the I777 isn't a particularly pleasant one. I hope it doesnt come for a long while. This will be my first serious endeavor into Android, and I'm happy that I'm cutting my teeth on Cyanogenmod. I know the I777 is a great handset, i guess I just hope that the Cyanogenmod dev team isn't done with the handset before I am.

Thank ya'll so much for creating such a fantastic product.

Does anyone know where you can DL a old copy of CM10?? My phone has been less than stable on 10.1 and would like to go back to 10 to see if it runs any better. I thought I have a CM10 from 12-20, but I can't seem to dig it up anywhere and I have been doing some web searching, but most old links are now dead or point to the new stuff.

Thanks

Honestly the latest releases of cm10.1 have been amazingly stable for me. Its been my daily driver. I'm not sure what issues you're running into but if you go to the cm website get.cm and go to this device you will see the stable versions for cm 9&10.

A lot of it has been radio stuff. Constantly dropping signal, never getting 4g, the radio completely shutting off (hollow signal bar), then it come back on, etc. I have tried a bunch of different radio's and kernals and it never really changes.

As of this week, I am constantly getting a storage space running out message. Kinda weird since I really don't have anything on my phone. My internal storage (the 1.97gb) is 80mb free and only 398mb in apps and 1.63mb in cached data. No idea how to clear it, no idea on why it is reading like that, but I can't update anything anymore.

So now I am going to wipe EVERYTHING and start fresh with the newest cm10.1 and go from there. If I still get some weird stuff, I will wipte and try the cm10.

Thanks again.

To the storage space running out issue, I too had it almost 2 weeks before and then i figured out this log in data occupying about 800 mb to 1 gb

Deleted the files in log folder and problem rectified, I think due to random ril crashes, there are many logs created.

Try this if you can.

I really hope that solves it and that it's not a hardware issue. The last time I saw that error, it was because the motherboard for my last I777 was failing.

Hello, everyone. I had a quick question. I turned my phone off last night around 11:00pm while it had 90% of battery since I didn't have access to a charger. When I woke up this morning I turned it on to get ready for work and my battery drop to 17%. Is this an indication of a bad battery? Has anyone else experience this? I'm familiar with Wakelocks but doesn't it usually happen while the phone is not powered off. I'm running CM 10.1 04/24 nightly. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dollardollar:
I do even experience this a lot, only solution i found in this forum is to connect the charger while restarting. This is a known issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dashrendar:
Is this defect always reproducible? After restarting, have you tried letting it idle to see if the battery percentage goes up slowly?

Voice Camera

Well you really have to dig to find this nifty feature. It took me a while because I overlooked that it might be in the timer settings. So, for anybody else who wants to experminet with this: Camera -> Settings -> Time -- select CID icon ... when it's active, there's a reminder in the upper left corner of the viewfinder. Say Cheese. Or even Whiskey. :)

Well done, CM folks

That is, indeed, nifty as hell. From what I've been reading, cm 10.1 has come quite some way since I first rooted and flashed it. I'm a huge fan of your work. Though it seems that I will probably want a snap Dragon based device in the future. If I could, I'd attempt to maintain this Rom. But, if someone brave enough comes along, more power to em. If not, oh well. Thanks for all the work and long nights put into the Rom!

Thanks. I read the first link in your search, after I fixed the problem myself but I didn't have to do any of what was written there.

I was coming from Shostock 3 with Jeboo kernel. I flashed siyah kernel, did a boot to recovery and flashed cm10.1. :good:

Just a quick question, why does the cm team not provide an option for center clock? I use a zip to make it happen but I'm just curious as to why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It significantly reduces the amount of space for notifications. It has been discussed multiple times, and for this and a variety of other UI reasons, will likely never be implemented in CM unless Google changes something upstream.

Anyone getting a error message when trying to send pictures using MMS? "Unfortunately, the process com.android.mms has stopped".

Tried factory resetting and wiping cache but didn't seem to fix the problem. I am on the 05/04 build.

I'm running the 05/04 build have have not had this problem.

Same for me, I used it several times over the weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Malaranu:
Hmm... interesting. It doesn't seem to be a consistent problem either. I've been testing it throughout the day and with multiple contacts; there are times where it'll send no problem and others where it'll pop up that message and close the messaging screen. I guess I won't worry about it too much since if it does close and I re-open it, it'll send the picture. Seems very strange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsbrohan:
You have fully wiped and checked your sums as well? Usually small errors such as this are from either user error or a bad download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Malaranu:
That is what I thought at first. I re-downloaded it via computer instead of the updater and verified the md5 sums. I also fully wiped by factory resetting through the recovery. So not really sure what is happening. I was trying to find out if there was any trend happening when the error message occurs and it looks like its when the data icon switches to H+ and I try to send the message, it would crash out. But even then, it isn't happening consistently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spinergy02:
I can verify the same problem. I send lots of pictures at work to my colleagues and out of maybe 20 texts have the messaging force close about 5 times but it always sends the picture after reopening messaging.

Anyone having screen rotation problems on 5.7?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsbrohan:
Not at all, typing this in landscape currently and have no problems whatsoever. Also seems to work great on other apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spinergy02:
Interestingly enough, a simple reboot seemed to fix the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slusho:
I still get those occasional rotation issues in which I have to go into Chrome's tabs display to "unstick" it. I also still get occasional proximity sensor nonfunctionality. Pretty much the only problems left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MacAlert:
The weirdest thing happened this morning. I was using the phone and all was well. All of a sudden the phone rebooted on its own and got stuck at the i9100 splash screen.

I was able to boot into recovery and reinstalled the 5/1 nightly, which took an unusually long time to install. I then wiped cache and rebooted. It took nearly 10 minutes to go from the i9100 splash screen to CM booting up.

Should I be worried?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sir_dwtc:
You should probably be worried if you're flashing the i9100 on an i777, but I'm hoping you're just in the wrong thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MacAlert:
Um, the i9100 splash screen shows up on modified i777's.

I picked up the Developers Edition and am switching to T-mobile. No more subsidized phones for me - - or contracts. Money saved in the end...

Sense firmware is OK but did not last long for me. codeworkx and others are doing an amazing job with CM10.1. I flashed it and am quite happy. HTC One is quite easy to flash initial ROM - - unlike I777. Buy unsubsidized with unlocked bootloader and use T-mobile or AIO..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
Just to drag this further OT:

Is the weird button config causing any problems with CM? Or have they managed to turn the logo into a normal button?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
'HTC' logo is a button in CM10.1 and can be configured as menu (short press), Google search/Now (long press), or other custom actions. It was nice getting rid of the ugly overflow menu present in apps on the stock Sense firmware.

In general, the capacitive button response is much better on the I777, but for me it is a minor gripe when you look at the overall performance of the phone. I am satisfied with my purchase. One should, though, consider if a phone without a replaceable battery or micro SD is acceptable. It takes a non-trivial amount of work to disassemble the One.

***Edit: One thing else to consider. The Dev version does not support HSPA/3G on AWS 1700 MHz, and, at this time, it appears that one cannot flash baseband (radio) to change operating frequencies. This should be a non-issue as T-Mobile is refarming their spectrum to support 3G/HSPA on 1900 MHz, but they have not completed this in all operating markets as yet. Seattle area is done and I would anticipate LTE in the near future.

In areas that have not been refarmed, the Dev Edition is limited to 2G on T-Mobile. You would need the T-Mo version of the One to use 3G.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
For a while we didn't reapply the patch that exposes the boot partitions, and supporting unpatched kernels on the gs2 family is a bit of a pain. Chainfire's technique is to flash a special kernel just for triangle reset, and it's understandable if he doesn't maintain that.

I'll retry TA later this week. Maybe we forgot to reapply the patch last rework cycle.

For the devs trying to resolve the driver issues, especially the ones related to the Mali GPU, you guys rock! I had been having issues with freezing during playing 3D games, mentioned it earlier in this forum, and was politely told to hush because nothing could ever be done about it. Only in the i9100 forum is the issue with the "new Mali drivers on old devices" even mentioned. I downloaded the driver zip from a few posts ago, toggled script assert, and flashed. I got no error message and CWM showed that it was done. The game "Shine Runner" freezes up exactly like it did before flashing the zip. For those of you who think this might solve freezing issues in games, it doesn't. Turning down the in-game volume to 0 seems to keep some games from freezing during play. In game freezing on new Mali drivers for some older devices still persists. I'll report back after flashing the next nightly that contains the updated drivers.
