RC2 running well. Apollo FC after wipes is gone! My bug report for borked timezone was ignored because of no log submitted. It would be looked down upon anyway because I do not run stock kernel (BLN a must have for me). Anyone that runs stock kernel feel free to submit a log on jira for broken timezone. I don't think its fixed on RC2 (although I may be wrong...didn't see anything in change log)

Update: RC2 is NOTICEABLY smoother than RC1.

Well finally decided to come back and check out CM 10.2 last night after using the ATT 4.1.2 release since April.. Gotta say, I miss parts of my Touchwiz but damn this ROM is smooooooth.. Was kinda scared after everything that happened with 10.0/10.1 but said screw it and flashed it, since it seemed like it was in a much better working state then the rest. Havent done much other then some Facebooking, text messaging, few phone calls and a couple of forum apps but so far so good. Havent seen a crash rotating the screen yet but I do also have the erratic touch response issue. Seems to me like sometimes it just doesnt sense enough pressure so I make sure I tap it harder and it works 95% of the time..

A couple questions...

1. Im in Southern California (Pacific Time Zone), on ATT obviously, and when I set the Date & Time to use the networks location and time, its putting my Time Zone as GMT. The time itself is correct, its just putting me like 8 hours ahead of where I should be so I have to manually set the time zone.. Did I miss a new setting somewhere in there??

2. Where the heck did the Developers Options go??? When I installed an apk last night, it took me to the screen where I enabled Unknown Sources but I cant for the life of me figure out how to get back to it!!

3. Where did the sensitivity options for the touch screen go as well?? Dug through all of the Settings today and couldnt find anything in there...

Guess thats it for now. Gonna go charge this sucker and see how Final Fantasy 3 runs hehe!!

Oh wait one last one, whos our maintainer now?? Im assuming its not Entropy anymore??

I just updated to 9-07. Time zone seemed to work fine. Usually after update my time zone would always reset back to 0:00 eastern. Right after reboot it was on pacific. Which made me smile. So I tested it again by putting the location manually to something else and right when I turned it back on( auto zone time thingy) it worked perfectly I hope its fix for good because its really annoying to set the time ever after phone reboot thanks devs.

Not sure how you got 3e, that's odd. I am on 9/8, and I have cwm. When I was on 9/5 cwm worked fine.

It is so sad that my battery consumption has been worse with 10.2 and it is higher when screen off than overall according to BBS. Seems Google Service is killing me - Probably Google Now, which didn't consume this much before. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing with Google Service sucking up battery with 10.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbrown23:
I am running 10.2 as well and can't complain about my battery life so far. I was running 10.1.3 RC1, then switched over to a touchwiz 4.1.2 ROM for a few days just to try it out. It generally sucked, so I wiped everything including formatting system and then flashed the 9/8 nightly of 10.2. So far I love it.

This included some browsing and game playing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tedkunich:
Not just with 10.2. The new maps was the issue with mine (Slim8.1) I would get 6 hours of wakelock from the location service, even with the history turned off. reverted to the old UI version and all is good.

I don't know man, 100 min of screen time at 40% battery isn't too great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbrown23:
I hear ya, but it was also off the charger all day long - 11.5 hrs. Not saying it's wildly spectacular, but I don't think battery life on mine has been too much better on CM10.1. If I went 2.5 hrs screen on with 10.1 I might see 10-12 hrs off the charger or so and be down in the 20% or so range. I'll try and keep a closer eye on it over the next few days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
When I was running ATTs 4.1.2 my battery wouldn't even last through an eight hour work shift. 10.2 has given me about a days worth of usage before it has to be charged. Not bad at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Moxie3000:
Yep. At the risk of a me-too post, I gotta say that 10.2 was a pretty bad experience for me. So bad that I tried the last Touchwiz ROM. 10.2 was bad, but the Samsung code was atrocious. Crashes, overheating while charging, and one of the least graceful UIs this side of Windows 3.1.

I came back to 10.1.3 RC2. If the camera crashes have been resolved, I'll happily sit here until 10.2 matures a bit.

The recent CM10.2 nightlies have been pretty good for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Larz2.2:
I agree -- me too. Except for the time zone oddity I've had zero issues - since I left non-CM kernels. And battery life has been most excellent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I have to disagree on the battery life. It's significantly worse than 10.1 for me. Still usable, but keep a charger at the ready. As far as stability on 10.2, I still have the occasional reboot when auto-rotate is on and I rotate my device. Also data connection while on a phone call does not work.

Otherwise though it's been my daily driver and it's quirks are fairly easy to expect and compensate for.

As for all the hate on Samsung, keep in mind there are two sides to the coin. In most cases all the average user should need to worry about is "is there a ROM I can enjoy available (like CyanogenMod)" and "what issues are others experiencing". Beyond that you should expect quirks, nothing is perfect. I can't name a smartphone I've ever had that didn't have SOMETHING quirky about it (either bugs, crashing, stability issues, our just lacking something that didn't make sense for a smartphone to lack). Enjoy what the device does for you, be grateful for the devs that put their time into getting something working for you, and either start fixing the bugs or stop talking ****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:

Regard to the phone being quirky, I agree that there is no perfect phone and I didn't mean that but you know this particular issue with samsung is beyond that. I am not going to repeat since entropy had mentioned enough already.

I don't get the auto reboot or data issue at this time (last several nightlys). I'm just lucky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] d_j_l:
Me neither with pure CM. Maybe due to different kernel topiratiko uses. I do have auto zone issue and sometimes out of memory when updating apps. I have 30 apps from google paly. Apps take away 622MB and leave around 200MB available depending on cache usage. So if error occurs, I try clear cache first, then update. If error persists, I have to uninstall the to-be-updated app before install the update. I have to say, chrome is a memory hog.

That's weird. For auto rotate reboot, it happened a few times, not consistent, when I was using 09/14 and earlier builds, and for some apps only. And for the data issue, I still don't have data connection during calls, with the newest build. What carriers are you guys using though?

Not too long after moving to 10.2 I started getting warnings that I was low on space, though it's probably unrelated to 10.2 so this might not be the right place.

Checking the Storage under settings I see a 2GB internal and an 11.36GB internal storage. After cleaning things up a bit the 11.36GB Internal shows 6+GB free, but the 2GB Internal shows 30 MB free while only listing ~365MB of data from apps and cached data. The 2GB partition looks to be the /data directory, using the phone based terminal I can't seem to find what's actually eating the data though, any suggestions or do I need to do a factory reset to wipe the data partition?

I am reporting back in on my experience using Cyanogenmod (specifically a recent Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly).

I love it.

I'm actually using it as a hotspot to write this post. Cyanogenmod-ified Android is an absolute joy to use. This is remarkable considering that I'm running the most current version of Android on a device that came out in 2011.

Sometimes CM crashes and reboots itself, but its no big deal. It recovers quickly enough.

What has been frustrating is GPS lock.

I used Maps on the way to work today and yesterday, and was pleased that it maintained lock during the ~30 min commutes. This is the exception rather than the rule.

Actually, this has been my main motivator to want to get a new phone (Nexus 5 is just around the corner). The whole experience has been great, everything has been working as it should.. except for GPS (until just recently, if it is indeed fixed). Its been like a thorn in my side.. that one feature not working as it should.. and an important one at that. Fortunately for me, it has worked well enough (plus I'm a halfway decent orienteer), that I manage fairly well with its hopefully previously imprecise tracking. If anyone has any feedback about GPS performance in CM on the i777 I'd be curious to hear it.

So, all in all, I've been very pleased with how Cyanogenmod has integrated into my life. So much so, that I got my best bud to get it on his Galaxy S4 (he used to have an old droid that he had put CM on a long time ago, but had put it back to stock. Got the S4, I hassled him about putting CM on it, and has been happy as a clam ever since), the afore-mentioned girlfriends Galaxy Note 2, and even my cousins Kindle Fire.

I wasn't sure where the i777 was in its lifespan with regard to support by CM, but I'm happy to see that development is continuing to truck along. I'm proud to be part of the CM fold, and when my girlfriend tells me that she updated to the latest nightly using CyanDelta.. I get this big stupid grin on my face.

Thank you to everyone who has made this experience possible! If you're in Dallas area I'll buy you a beer!

Installing the 9/20 update now. I had installed the 9/8 nightly after a full wipe, then updated to 9/16. Battery life over the last few days has not been great. Not sure if it had anything to do with 9/16, but I swear it was better prior to that. One thing that changed was after I installed 9/16, I did set up a CM account. Wonder if there was any additional battery draw from that. Will see if there is any change with 9/20.

I didn't see anything specific in the changelog that would do much for battery, but it looked like a pretty lengthy list, and like they might be using a newer Android update (lots of entries about merging android-4.3_r3.1 updates).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
What I am trying to figure out is how many other ROMs can survive without CM code base. Do we (i777) have pure AOSP ROM without a large CM dependency? While some claim to be pure AOSP, I am not sure how many can truly be independent - I believe CM's influence has been pretty strong, but I want to see more data to back up my gut feeling. And the worst part is that almost all, if not all, CM Exynos maintainers are pretty much done with Exynos, so I don't expect to see much support in the true open source community for our phone. Maybe it is time for us to get a new phone? :)

BTW, by no mean, I am trying to start a off-topic discussion. It is more like thinking out loud. Please cut me off any time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yeah, the problem for Exynos4 is that most of its maintainers are really sick of the platform. I do know of someone new (well, not really new, but new to messing with Exynos4 devices for AOSP bringup) who is poking at i9300, and his skillset could bring some interesting results depending on how much free time he actually has to work.

I have no moral issues with pulling Exynos4 support from CM into wherever plodey and I go, since we contributed significantly to that aspect of CM. The thing is I'm not sure what level of motivation either of us have to mess with the platform.

However as a result of the past two months giving me new perspective, I realize there are some quite skilled people out there who were not contributing to CM not because they couldn't, but because they refused to do so for various reasons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbrown23:
I recently flashed a Sammy ROM and hated the experience. I just really do not like Touchwiz in comparison to (close to) stock Android. I haven't tried the latest Touchwiz version on the GS4, but the version on the i777 was pretty bad, IMO. Not to mention that the battery life was terrible.

On a side note, since I clean flashed 9/23 battery life seems somewhat better. I am not sure if it's the result of a clean flash or updates made after 9/16, but so far (it's only been a day) it seems improved. Last night, in 5 hours off the charger, I had 3 hours screen on time with 48% or so left, mostly browsing and reading Google+ accounts of the CM drama around Focal. Today in almost 3 hours 40 minutes off charger, used 10% battery with only 7 minutes screen on. I did install Nova Launcher (previously used Holo Launcher HD) and all my normal apps, but didn't restore any data yet.

Finally, I've been thinking about whether to stay on CM or try something else. I may stick it out, since ideally, I'd like to get a Nexus 5 (when it's available) or a Moto X if the price drops and IF (a real big if) AT&T ever deploys the camera update and IF there's a bootloader unlock. I used to run AOKP, but it seemed like task650 abandoned his i777 AOKP ROM and moved on to greener pastures. I haven't tried PA at all. Maybe one day I'll check it out and see if it's as 'stable' as CM on our Exynos devices.
