This one will do just fine... Please note though, if you installed the touch version of CWM that you should not use the option to "Reboot into Recovery" when rebooting your phone... This is a bug in the touch version that will cause a bootloop. It's not a huge problem cause all you would have to do is re-flash CWM, but that is kind of a pain.

The files are now uploading... There are 4 and should be done in about an hour. One is the rom, one is the correct gapps package, one is a zip to flash to gain root since Socim forgot to include root in his build and the last one is the ICS modem package from bell which I have to re-flash every now and again since the modem seems to randomly disappear (this happens very rarely, but handy to always have this on your phone in case you need to re-flash it during the day)

The order of flashing should be rom, modem, root, gapps. I'll post the link when the upload is done ;)

EDIT:

Ok, so the files are finished uploading, and can be downloaded via the following link:

http://d-h.st/users/titanic_fanatic/?fld_id=12150#files

Hope it all goes well for you... One thing that is suggested when you are up and running is to go to Settings->Performance->Processor and set the CPU govenor to ONDEMAND and check "Set on boot", then go to Settings->Performance->I/O scheduler and set the I/O scheduler to DEADLINE and check "Set on boot". This will help with the issue of "random reboots" and also makes the phone much more responsive... Also, one last thing, I would also recommend you download "Rescan Media" from the market as this app stops the media scanner from scanning everytime you boot your phone... Mostly background media scanning is un-necessary and just bogs down your phone. The media scanner will still work, just on demand instead of in the background thus not being a drain on your battery ;)

Ok I will be doing this as soon as I get home. If I decide that I want to go back to what I was using before how would I do that
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
To go back to stock, you would visit the following url

http://d-h.st/SWO

This download is the stock ics Rom direct from Samsung. You would unzip this file to find a .md5 file inside that you put into Odin as pda. This should return you to stock ics and replace cwm with 3e recovery. It will also reset your custom binary counter in download mode to 0.

You will need to do this if you ever need to send in your phone for warranty repair as they will not be able to detect that you tired and/or flashed a custom Rom ;)
[Galaxy S II General] arcticninja2226:
ok I am home and ready to do this lol how do i flash the rom and everything onto my phone? do i put them on my sd card ?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
*** WARNING ***

Make sure you have at least 75% battery or more before continuing on with this process. You can brick the phone if the battery dies while flashing!

********************

Ok, so you will put all of those zip files onto your sdcard as you will need access to them from the phone while in recovery mode. Once they are uploaded to your sdcard, reboot your phone into recovery mode (I assume you know how to access this since you said you already tested CWM).

Once in recovery mode, it is important to note that you will need to "wipe data/factory reset", then you will "wipe cache partition" then you will go into "advanced" and select "wipe dalvik cache" all of these steps will completely wipe your phone (including the current version of android). These steps are important since the directory structures and locations of files from one version to another may vary and this will ensure you get a clean flash... A dirty flash is when you flash a rom over top of an old one (without wiping data/cache/dalvik) this can only be done when flashing a new build of the same rom, but is not really recommended as it can lead to problems.

Once you've wiped all your caches and factory reset, go back to the main screen for CWM and select "install zip" then select "choose zip from internal sdcard" you should then see all the files on your sdcard, select the rom that you uploaded to your sdcard then select the "yes" option. Flashing will begin and it may seem like things have frozen at a couple of spots, but be patient. it will finish and it takes about 3-5 minutes to complete the flash.

Next you will do the "choose zip from sdcard" thing again and this time select the modem zip file and flash that, then you will flash the root zip file, then the gapps zip file.

Once all of that is done, you can reboot the phone, and voiala, you now have CM10 Alpha ;)

Good Luck, and Enjoy the freedom of the custom Rom ;)

I think i screwed up. When i go into recovery it still says 3e recovery......I am following the instructions here http://theunlockr.com/2012/06/23/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-hd-lte/ for installing it on my phone but it is not working...NM i am a retard lol i downloaded the newest build of odin and it didnt work lol downloaded the one it said to and it worked lol
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
No, you did not screw up... This is Samsung's doing... They have included 2 scripts that run everytime you boot the phone that replace the recovery partition with the 3e recovery... No worry... Check my post here for a solution:

[Galaxy S II General] arcticninja2226:
now it seems like it is froze on the wipe dvalick cache........says e:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It will always say this and it's nothing to worry about... after deleting the dalvik cache, does your menu come back? If so, then you are not frozen, just select the back option to return to the main CWM menu ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Did you finally get this all sorted out?
[Galaxy S II General] arcticninja2226:
This is incredible!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Glad your enjoying it... Just so you know, me and Strange Peer (dev of dadoes build) are currently working to try and port CM10.1 which is Jellebean 4.2 (CM10 is 4.1). This version has added features and improves the overall operation of the phone and some gui elements.

We are discussing this in the following thread if you would like to follow along ;) It's not even booting yet, but we are actively working on it. It will most likely not be finished for quite some time since we need to get it to boot first, then fix the hardware issues. We'll post to dadoes thread when we have something to share about this project :)

Hey guys, been away for a while. Was just hoping to get links to the latest and most stable cm10. Because there are a few people working on this and are publishing thier work at different links it does make it difficult to identify latest build unless you have been following daily :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Check out the op of the thread I posted above. The latest is a dadoes build, and great news, since we're working on cm10.1 he's learned a few things and will soon be releasing a brand new build with a new kernel and all ;)

Is this seriously the only thread for Jelly Bean development on this phone? No others? :( This phone has such little developers and backing, main reason holding me back from getting it.
[Galaxy S II General] stevenma188:
What can you do, it's not a very popular phone :(
[Galaxy S II General] abdi7451:
Don't get why though. Amazing specs. Almost on par with the US version of the Galaxy S3.

P.S. - Do I always have to do these captcha things?

I don't know - that's really more about app support - and I'm not sure what the NFC app selection is like. But basically anything that can be done with NFC, can be done on this phone now.

It baffles my mind, because this is easily the nicest Samsung phone right now, in its form factor. It basically has specs nearly on par with the S3 north American edition, without the tacky cheap plastic feel of an S3 or a Note 2.

I can actually walk into work with this phone (into a professional environment) and not feel embarrassed to have a phone (like the S3 or Note 2) that looks like it is designed to be a child's toy. It's just an absolutely beautiful phone. Symmetrical, unlike the Nexus 4, attractive, unlike most of Samsung's other phones, and had a removable battery, unlike any of the flagships from HTC.

Save for the gross lack of developer support, it's the perfect phone.
[Galaxy S II General] abdi7451:
Yea, that's one of the first things I noticed.This phone is basically the North American version of the S3. For about 200 bucks less too. I am most likely going to buy this thing, to heck with developer support. Still wouldn't mind an S3, though. ;)

Its Canadian only. That is why. Its a great phone....but an extremely rare phone. Canadian only, and bell only....narrows it even more.

[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
thats something ive been meaning to ask, has anyone seen the need to unlock this phone? again not that it matters but you say bell only...what makes it specific to bell aside from the fact that its locked to the company? if i want to sell this thing eventually i wanna sell it as an unlocked device
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
It can be unlocked just like most phones. I'm using it on Telus
[Galaxy S II General] :
It will work on virgin Canada.....no unlock required. I think! Mu wife's old iPhone worked on bell anyway from virgin. Haven't tried the reverse. But I read bell and virgin phones will work on each other if you swap Sims. Assuming the sim fits.

[Galaxy S II General] maartrack:
I bought it 2 weeks old, unlocked by that previous owner. I'm using it on Rogers.
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Well its bell only because bell is the only official release of this model. Yes it's locked by bell and yes you can unlock it to any other carrier, but

It says bell only because we don't want anyone to mix it up with the i727 or another similar model. If you try to install our cm10 into another phone even with similar specs, it can mess with the device royally.

Otherwise feel free to play with the device on any network
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I second that... Even if the devices seem to be the same, they are not... take ours vs the skyrocket for example... we have the same processsor the same gpu the same sensors and more, but they have a different touchscreen, camera, resolution and other things as well...

I did flash the rom for the skyrocket on my phone *** DO NOT DO THIS... I AM DEVELOPING FOR THIS PHONE WHICH IS WHY I DID IT... DO NOT FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ***

Guess what... it wouldn't even boot... Due to different hardware.

As tronith said, you can unlock any phone to be used on any carrier, but what makes this a bell only phone is that you can only buy it from them, no one else, and that out of the box, it is locked to bell.

It being a bell only phone is specifically the reason why development for this phone is almost non-existent...

That being said, I want to draw everyone's attention to the Galaxy Nexus that just received an update to Android 4.2... Booooooo. This phone is older than ours, and the specs are not as good, and guess what, they got an upgrade from bell and we didn't... I would like to invite everyone following this thread to please call/email bell and complain about this. They entice us to buy these expensive devices, then they don't support it with upgrades, it just gets left in the dust because it's exclusive to their company only and it's more worth it to them to develop for a popular device, but still, we should get upgrades just like everyone else, so please make a stand and lodge your complaint. It will most likely go un-noticed, but if enough of us complain, maybe we can get them to at least release updated "Vendor Blobs" that would make porting 4.2 much easier.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nexus gets all the goodies first! LOL

Will probably get one when I upgrade. Glass back sucks....but that's what a good case is for.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_skyrocket_hd_i757-4414.php

So which one is our phone? As you can see the specs are completely Identical. The first link says it is the SHV-E120S, though. The second says nothing about model number.
[Galaxy S II General] stevenma188:
Our phone is closest to the 2nd link. We have a SGH-I757M. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between the 2 though.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yes, ours is most like the skyrocket hd which was discontinued. We actually have the I757M, and the right specs can be found here:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3714&c=samsung_sgh-i757m_galaxy_sii_hd_lte_samsung_dali

Our device is sometimes code named "Dali", but our actual code name that is used for example to build android with is "celoxhd" this comes from the chipset which is inside referred to as "celox", our device is part of the "celox" family of phones which includes both phones in the links you listed above.

That being said, our device is actually closest in terms of hardware to the skyrocket. the SHV-E120S is the international variant and sports a hardware home button and uses different basebands than our phone which is why our two phones are not compatible for porting. The skyrocket on the other hand has I would say about 75% of the same hardware as our phone which is why we can use the code for their device to port to ours... The big huge difference would be the cameras are different and screen sizes. Other than that, our phone is identical to the skyrocket.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Is there any difference in the skyrockets ambient light sensor? It has come to my attention through some research that our phones light sensor supports 16000 ambient levels. This is pretty awesome, although if you try to input custom light levels, you are only allowed to 3000.

It doesn't get much better. It appears we only get 5 ambient light level readings anyway. I only found one third party app that can read from 1 to 16000 at every step. Or so it says. Most other apps and including the reading you find in the custom light levels will only read a few levels.

-1 (perhaps off?)

10

75

1000

10000

16000

I hope that we could shed some light on this matter. No pun intended of course! :D
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I believe that this is controlled in the code that gets compiled to run android. That means you won't be able to change it even using an app. This could most likely be changed before compile time to handle the additional settings otherwise it will most likely try to make the best guess when selecting a level that isn't supported at code level.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah, what he said! ;)

Sent from my cell phone telephone....
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Its still not making sense to me why the ROMs built in auto brightness only supports to 3000 yet when I use an app called screen brightness, it can read to 16000 but no lower than 10... then in those increments I posted earlier and up. If I could eliminate the need for a third party brightness app and have cm10 even give me the option. Of 16000 and not only up to 3000 lumens I'd be set....
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This is how CM was designed. It's easier to support a couple settings in between a range instead of all of them. I'm sure the thought was that the average person will not need to adjust by each single increment, so they implemented an easier model to manage.

Just because an app can read and/or set these settings in the increments you want does not mean that the code for the ROM will support it and obviously in this case, it's not supported by CM. Like I said earlier, this would most likely have to be built in prior to compile time and is entirely up to the ROM developer to implement as CM will not make such changes.

The ROM and apps are completely separate and are obviously maintained by different developers. While CM supports up to 3000, your app can support up 16000 if and only if the ROM supports it, which brings me back to it is up to the developer of the ROM to include these additional levels. The app supports it so that a wide range of phones and ROMS can be supported, and for no other reason.

EDIT:

I'll have a look at the code for CM10.1 and see if I can track down these settings. Not really even sure where to look though.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
The light sensor in our phone has a resolution of 1. And a maximum reading of 16000 lumens. If that helps you out. I realize I don't necessarily require full support. It would be easier if the ROM itself recognized that resolution and not just 10, 75, 1000, 10000, 16000. Because the light sensor wants to behave in such matter, I really only get 4 levels if I can only use up to 3000. Just 1000 and below. Anything above 1000 will want to be read at 10000. Therefore anything above 3000 goes to infinity, which is the entire resolution from 1000 to 16000 in one step. This causes erratic adjustment of the brightness while on auto and a poor resolution of the light sensor. The app helps make "better" use of the light sensor.

Oh I'm using YAAB to handle auto brightness.

Cheers... I think I'll crack open that apk first and see what it's doing before I dive into the CM code ;)

Win Me Over

Hello, lads! 'Names Abdi, and i'm new here to the xda forums. I'm looking for a new phone, done with my S1. After long search, I've narrowed it down to these 2 phones. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy SII HD LTE from Bell Mobility. Before we start this face off, let me list some of my requirements for a smartphone:

Need microSD. I have a large music library (over 13 GB).

Need Gorilla Glass.

Need good camera.

As you guys can tell, these are all areas the Galaxy Nexus does not do well in. But here comes the catch, and this may help you with your arguments. The GS2 HD LTE has little developer support. Only 2 working roms on xda right now.

*Keep in mind: The GS2 HD LTE in this picture is not the one I'm looking at buying. This one is the international version. I am looking at the Bell Mobility version. They are basically the same phone, except for a little hardware differences. Same specs and all. Here is a picture of the Bell phone: http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/20120418_C6680_PHOTO_EN_12455-625x1024.jpg *

WIN ME OVER.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I'm not sure, but I think the previous poster is asking which he should buy.....he never really asked a question tho. LOL

Nexus. Period. If those are you're only 2 options. Some say the bell s2 isn't even getting jb officially.

Anyway, if sd card is a deal breaker....get a different s2. One with jb coming or already available and that has a lot of developing going on. Don't pigeon toe yourself getting the i757m. Go to another carrier and get a different s2...or even s3. Otherwise, get the nexus. How much media do you really need to have on you at all times on your phone?

Anyway, that's my opinion. ;)

Not sure if anyone in good conscience will try to "win you over" to buy a phone that may be stuck with ics as far as an official rom goes. I have a t989d s2 from Telus with tonnes of development going on and I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a nexus with prompt and ongoing updates from Google.

Sent from my cell phone telephone....
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
If choosing purely based on specs and only between these two, the s2 makes sense since the specs are just slightly better.

If your ok with not having official jb support from bell then this phone would be a good choice.

I personally also like the style of the s2 betterthan the nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I agree with the above! I do.

But if you like to flash stuff and have updates quick....the nexus won't disappoint.

So agreeing with the above, if the nexus isn't for you....get a different s2. Even an unlocked one if need be. Buy new or used and unlock if it isn't already. That is if you are dead set on bell. ;)
