I also have an update whenever my phone reboots. Not sure if it's the update notification or the phone finding the update in the store available but whenever my phone does a random reboot there are updates ready for download.

Anyone managed to get anything out of bell in regards to an official jelly bean release for our device?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Great ROM and I'm looking forward to future releases! Without this rom port of CM10, myself and my phone would be lost!

I was looking through the menus today in the settings, and I found an option for the backlight notifications under the display settings, as well as an option for backlight notifications under the sensors tab in the advanced settings.

Might help with solving the notification issue? Just thought it might help! :)
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Thanks for the advice, but I knew about the sensors tab and have tried toggling the notification setting. Does anyone know how to isolate that portion of code from luneticks build and incorporate into crlogic's 1108? I wouldn't call myself a noob, but when it comes to coding I am at a loss.

Thanks to all for continuing to develop CM10 for our devices! I agree with a previous poster - our devices just wouldn't be the same without CM10 (JB).
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
dsixda, if we (the community) bought you another i757m, would you be willing to help us reach a stable CM10 build?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
At the risk of getting called out on not reading every post in the forum (I am in progress of reading this thread thoroughly and the cm9 thread) , I am still going to ask; what are the main differences between our phone and the i727 when it comes to roms? What about other variants? Is it all chocked up to the SDcard partitions? or is it the HD screen that causes the issues? I'd be willing to do whatever I can to help the development of this device while I am still using it as a daily driver. I wanted to post sooner than later, as I am also thinking of selling my device. I would donate it if I could afford to, but I am attending college right now.

Who else is working on the project? What about a kernel development? But then again, maybe my gf would be happier that I now own a phone that I cannot constantly flash new roms to! haha

The only things I really think the kernel needs is a broader choice of governors and I/O schedulers, backlight Notifications, bluetooth kill if relevant, Voodoo Sound, deep idle? I think simpler is better tho, maybe a kernel based around balanced battery/performance.
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Perhaps the community should try to purchase rukusx7's i757m if dsixda is on board?!

This is great, works really well happy to see this out there....

Rom installation issue

Hi, everytime i try to unzip the rom to install in CWM it says E:failed to verify whole file signature and E:signature verification failed, Can someone please explain what im doing wrong, and how to solve this issue, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] rogem_kk:
Who told you to unzip the file? Don't do that. Just tell CWM where the ZIP is and go from there.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
No need to unzip the file. Store it and gapps at the root of you SD and install from CWM from there.
[Galaxy S II General] hsaini123:
nknotac whybark

Srry i meant the zip file is on my SD card,then i boot in CWM, then i select update from external storage and click on the ROM file and then i get the "e:" failures. Does my phone have to be rooted? if so then im getting the same signature failure problem.MY phone comes with stock ICS, maybe thats a problem or something. any ideas?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

the issue is, my phone does not start up in CWM, it goes to android recovery mode or something
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
My voicemail notification icon does not appear. It's there a fix for this?

I would say that CWM is not installed properly.
[Galaxy S II General] hsaini123:
do i have to unlock the bootloader or something?
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
Is there anyone still working on this? Or is it now a dead project?
[Galaxy S II General] bestavrosg:
Been wondering this as well... I check this thread 2-3x a day looking for an update, but lately theres been very little activity here:(
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
sounds like dsixda is busy with other parts of his life right now.... Maybe you would be interested in starting a development team? You can't tell me he is the only one who owns this phone that knows anything about code, or could at least figure something out?

It's too bad, this phone is really not that bad of a phone.

If there is anyone who has any knowledge on android development etc... Perhaps we could have you make a post saying on such and what you can do, or where you can help.

Myself? If you can get this rom onto your phone, I know only a little bit more than that.
[Galaxy S II General] God67:
That would really be too bad. I've been running the most current build and the recent JB GAPPS that someone posted earlier and its almost more stable than CM9...

I wish I could contribute but alas I'm no where near capable either.:)
[Galaxy S II General] CharlieMPK:
Luck To You All

Well, I offered my help a little while ago but I guess it went unnoticed...

Loved this phone but I'm going to be moving to the Galaxy Nexus this week. I need a phone that has some sort of development team or at least it's own forum in order for me to learn from others.

Good luck guys! :)
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Any chance of donating your phone or taking donations for it so a developer without the phone can assist us? ;)

Ya know, pay it forward?!

Data where is all my Data

So i just got my warning saying ive used almost all my data, only thing is that i am on wifi most all the time. when i go into the data place it says that android os has used 800mb in the background :eek: what the..... does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem is?? PLEASE HELP!!
[Galaxy S II General] Sconbox:
I had the same problem, it ended up being the "Backup my data" setting under Settings>Backup & Reset. After disabling that data usage went back to normal.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
It's there any way to make it WiFi only, I like the back up on it. This is the first time it has used so much data, ifs there any reason why that it's?

PA2.99 22NOV2012 for i757m

http://d-h.st/users/Space/?fld_id=7675#files

Needs wipe data before upgrading from cm10. Sorry guys, I don't own an i757m so haven't tested it.
[Galaxy S II General] legendofjon:
im thinking of another solution. Porting AT&T skyrocket ROM to bell lte. I mean the specs are nearly identical, so it could just be a few modification in the actual code.
[Galaxy S II General] ZarboktheMunificent:
Flashing now. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Changelog please?
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Flashed and running. I wonder if there should be a different place for this ROM as it is not CM10. It's Paranoid Android.

Update (4 hours): 1 lockup; 2 black screen of death (couldn't wake up)

Update (6 hours): random reboot, gallery doesn't work thus causing the camera to fail.

Good start, but heading back to crlogic's latest build
[Galaxy S II General] ZarboktheMunificent:
Working great so far for me. No random reboots or crashes and no issues with basic functionality. Some of the menus in the settings are cut off but that's just UI. Other than it seems to be working.

I should probably note that I did a full wipe and flashed it.
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
So happy to see some development occuring for our device. Cm10 paranoid MIUI. Doesn't matter to me, I just want a fully working stable jelly bean

Thank you so much to the devs who have thus far not abandoned us.

I myself will have this phone for at least another 2 years. So a stable jb rom is a big deal for me.
[Galaxy S II General] mic2012:
Yes I agree, great to see more development. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] kan7777:
So I tried...

So I tried to get into the porting stuff too today.

I tried porting SkyJellyBean from the i727.

Changed the values and dpi in the build.prop to make sure it'll fit the screen. Entirely replaced the apps folder and META-inf from ours to theirs and the boot.img.

The rom boots, connects to wifi and can call people but it loses signal quite often and the vibrate doesn't completely. I don't know if I ported right?

I sort of used the same method when I had a Captivate and ported over the i9000 roms.

But glad things are moving forward. If you guys want I can put the rom up and you guys take a look. Honestly what I did was take parts from crlogic's rom and mixing it with the SkyJellyBean rom.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone's work.
[Galaxy S II General] Socim:
It's a known issue that if you have photos in external sdcard the camera(in the same package with gallery) will force close several times then works fine.

I have tried to cope with it many times but still no idea yet, however if remove storage selection feature it's okay.

:(
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm planning on trying this as well. Is porting a i727 rom really that simple? adjust the DPI, change some values for the screen, change the apps folder, META-inf and the boot.img ???

If it is, count me in! I'd love to do a port of another rom for this phone! I think its the perfect learning tool to for a newbie to build off. As you solve other minor problems involved, you can only get better at it!

Installing the Paranoid rom port right now!
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
A stable PA build for this phone would be awesome, and a welcome change
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Do you have the correct modem?
[Galaxy S II General] kan7777:
I flashed the modem that was provided with our regular cm10 rom. So I think it's some other kind of issue.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Yeah, it could be a hardware difference issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Skip0:
Maybe you have to tried with another Kernel.

You have quite wired problem...:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Thanks a ton for this man. So great to have active development happening for our niche device! Will post how things are going, I did a fresh install and so far so good!
[Galaxy S II General] CanuckRS:
Awesome dude! Love it so far!
[Galaxy S II General] thechabs:
I tested and got too many reboots. Back to lunetick's version from October 22. I have found this is the most stable of them all but still lot's of reboots.
[Galaxy S II General] nblues:
Installed paranoid android.... not one single issue or reboot... works perfectly ... lights work... can't think of any problems thanks for this and I will make a generous donation as soon as its feasible for me. I think everyone who is crying about getting people to develop should quit whining and give these guys some motivation toget thrm to continue development nobody cares if you have issues regarding certain features that you can't get working your lucky to even have what we got on such a rare device. Be thankful and appreciative.
[Galaxy S II General] xt700:
paranoid android rom is running good for me after a full wipe, double flash... got this phone on wednesday, tried cm10 but had wallpaper flickering, and no preview screen on camera. This has been great all day! Really appreciate your work.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Thank you for everyone's continued efforts on this phone!

Reboots or not, I am happy to have anything but stock Samsung.

I moved onto the Paranoid port, I am getting some random reboots, one with an update available upon return to home screen. Other is sometimes when i shut off my screen, my phone will not turn back on and it then reboots. I usually have something open.

other than that I am happy to have BLN on the new kernel with working Notification lights!

My last phone was an i9000 so Paranoid didnt seem to work well on the screen size for me, but I am loving it on this phone. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
So far Paranoid is really stable for me. So nice to have the notification lights etc. working as well. I've had one crash/ reboot (during initial device setup with Google account) with an up time of 4.5h.

I really love the ability to customize the Notification Toggles. If you don't know, go to Settings --> System --> Notification Toggles. Really impressed so far. Thanks for this port!

In response to nblues comment:

From my perspective, the vast majority of members in this forum have always been very appreciative of the developers work, and the dialogue of issues encountered facilitates the continuous improvement to an eventually stable operating system. Just my two cents.

P.S. Thanks to all the developers for their effort for our benefit.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I've been fairly pleased with the development for our device. I'm even willing to be the guinea pig for an untested ROM. I report problems that I'm having to let the developer know what's happening.

FYI: when I flash a build by a different developer I always wipe everything, flash the ROM twice and then install gapps to get the best possible initial state.

custom build.prop cm-10-20121108a

Allo,

playing around with MELD under ubuntu comparing cm-10-20121108a-UNOFFICIAL-celoxhd.zip build.prop and the one from PA to understand why my phone, usb, etc.., wasn't working good enough for a daily use!

so... I've made this custom build.prop one using code from the two: attached below

everything is working now, don't ask me why, I'm just a thinker! You know... trials and errors!

unzip it, and put it in cm-10-20121108a, just replace it without unzip'ing that one! then reinstall and enjoy!

I'm new here, this is my first reply, but I've been here since September 19 2012 the day I bought my phone! I'm a linux user since 2002, I'm not affraid and I've got patience to play with code even if I don't understand what I do!

sorry for my bad english writing, I'm from Québec,Canada!

Are there specific changes that we can input into the current build.prop without overwriting the whole thing?

It may just be my hardware, but crlogic's most recent build is the most stable for me.

I do, however, appreciate everyone who is working on ROMs. Please keep working.
[Galaxy S II General] Siavash8:
Same here. Although I still have very rare random reboots, but I've never had a ROM this stable.

By the way, what's new in Paranoid Android? Apart from stability, do you think if there is a reason to try it out?
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
My fave part of any AOKP ROM like PA is the notification toggles. Other than that, it's very similar.
[Galaxy S II General] ZarboktheMunificent:
It's a hybrid phone and tablet UI. You can change the max DPI on the interface and you can give the notifications and the rest of the interface a more tablet-like feel.

Other than that it's very similar to CM10.
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
I'm wondering if someone could clarify for me -

When you say that crlogic's most recent build is the most stable, are you referring to "cm-10-20121108a-UNOFFICIAL-celoxhd.zip" ?

It's do or die that I get the most stable ROM possible on this from the beginning. I have the i757m myself, and I mess around with different ROMs all the time. But I just bought another i757m for my girlfriend for Christmas, I know that from the minute she unwraps it, I'm never going to be allowed to mess with it again! So I need to get the most stable ROM on this from the start ;)

Side-question. What's the stock Samsung ROM like? Would I be better off leaving it stock for my girlfriend?
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
Yes to the ROM. I'm using Paranoid Android now, and I haven't had any random reboots in the past 2 days. However, I try each new iteration of the ROMs that are available. So who knows what will be in my phone tomorrow.

Stock Samsung its OK. It's stable. Adding Nova Launcher makes it better, but it's still fairly locked down.
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
Thanks for the input. So if I put the most recent CM10 ROM from celoxhd on her phone, do you think that's stable and reliable enough to get her through till.... well probably next Christmas, lol ?

Side-track: I biked through Truro on my way from HFX to PEI once. Pretty area of the province.
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I have found it relatively stable. A few random reboots. It gets better with each iteration. However, if she is the least bit fussy about her phone, you'd be better off leaving it stock. Once there's a completely stable build, you could surreptitiously flash the ROM then.
[Galaxy S II General] MBouchard:
I tried all the roms, It is a toss up between CM9 dated sept 9, or the rooted ICS stock with or without bell apps
[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Hmmmm, I find the Aug. 29 build the most stable for cm9.

On a different note.... Can anyone explain the horrible benchmark results?

I'm over clocked to 1.78 and I know benchmarks aren't exact.... But I keep scoring below the original Samsung S... Not even the SII!
[Galaxy S II General] ZarboktheMunificent:
The original one you posted is great. Really liked having my USB mounting options back since I use Notpod.

I'll try this one out!
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
I too love the notification toggles. Also, the reliability of the PA rom has been many times better than my experience with CM. I was averaging at least 2 random reboots per day on CM10, and with PA it's like 1 every 2 days if that.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
Thanks for this! pardon my noobness but can you explain how to use the prop file? do i simply replace the prop file in the latest crlogic build and flash that zip?

thank you
[Galaxy S II General] Strange Peer:
Allo fredericvachon! don't worry I am a newbie too!

sure you need to replace it and give back the right permission, but you only need to reboot! I could be wrong... but I think the file is read at boot.?!

before replacing it... get rid of the Google DNS part:

# Google DNS

net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.4.4

net.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.dns2=8.8.4.4

and also the part with the ram:

# Frees More RAM

persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1

my internet is better without it, note that it will still work with it!

for the ram part, i don't see a difference!

being here, go to internet setting and make sure you choose "Preferred network mode: LTE / GSM/WCDMA", otherwise the phone doesn't work so good!

again sorry for my bad english writing, I'm french... but you know that!

have a nice ending day!

[Galaxy S II General] dmeinder:
Ya but as a general guide these scores are always horribly low... Even when different... Anywhere between 3k and 7k...Which is scores of phones 3 years ago.
