Well I've been running this rom for almost a week now and I haven't had a single random reboot.. The only issue I have besides the ones already mentioned is that I lose connectivity once in a while and my APN list is just blank. A "restore defaults" and reboot usually fixes it so it isn't a big deal but worth a mention.

Keep up the good work everyone
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
I would suggest looking up the specs for each device. If they are not EXACTLY the same, don't try this ROM. Even seemingly minor difference could cause the ROM to not work properly.

Trying CM10 out

I was on Pandroid ROM for a few weeks and had days where my phone would reboot 3-4 times in an hour, and it always seemed to be at the worst time. Like I need to call someone and look down, phone is off, requiring me to restart it. :(

I am going to try this one out and let everyone know of any rebooting issues. I have said before, and this seems to be true for all these custom ROMs, that the phone reboots when there are updates for apps available. If I had the time and knowledge on how to troublshoot this I would be happy to but I don't.

If anyone could give some advice on how to load a log file for when the phone reboots I'd be more than happy to supply that to the current developer of this and other ROMs.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Socim:
Which PA ROM you have used? Have you tried latest build?
[Galaxy S II General] Siavash8:
How do you do that? That's the main issue I'm having and it's annoying as hell. I can call or receive calls, but I can't hear anything and no one can hear me on the other end. Sometimes it works itself out after a reboot, but sometimes I have to shut it down several times before I get the voice back.
[Galaxy S II General] DoubleD84:
Siavash I don't think our problems are related since it just deals with the data but if you go.

Settings -> More.. -> Mobiles Networks -> Access Point Names

and it's blank. Click "Restore Defaults" on the bottom. It will take a couple minutes to do it's thing than reboot. For me everything returns to normal after a reboot.

I did have phone issues before but it ended up being a provider issue. I could still make calls and send texts but I wouldn't receive anything. It ended up being something with the network registration on their end.
[Galaxy S II General] Siavash8:
I just sold my phone to get a Nexus 4 and I wanted to thank you guys, specially crlogic, lunetick and dsixda, for all you've done to make this phone enjoyable for me and everyone else. It was my first Android phone and I couldn't have loved it so much if it weren't for you. Keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
So another one bites the dust! ahh well.

Glad to hear someone shouting the praises for our beloved devs. However, Socim should have definitely been included as his work has continued the custom ROMs for our devices!

After weeks of PA, I did a fresh install of the CM10 Dec 12 build. I just had to see where CM10 is at this point! So far extremely stable. A vast improvement from my last CM10 experience. HUGE PROPS to Socim!!

Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays to all from London, ON, Canada!
[Galaxy S II General] daveyboy32:
So i ended up getting the bell sgh i757m actually traded straight up for my iphone 4 question i have is the phone has never been unlocked or rooted it has been updated to ics 4.0.4 i followed some online instructions on how to root with odin i downloaded everything and read the instructions and followed the steps i can get it to boot into recovery i put cmw on the root of my sd card and went to install it from cmw recovery it says " signature verification failed " i dont see anywhere to change signature i had usb debugging mode checked when i tried to root with odin ive tried 4 to 5 times and still no root is there maybe something im missing? I have no security software on the phone and followed the root guide from the xda website......

Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated please i am lost and dont know what else to do.
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Hmm. No idea about your specific problem but here is a link about how to get root access and CWM on Canadian ICS phones. A bit scary, but worked for me and others.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775263

Good luck and welcome to the community!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I have successfully completed these steps and am running cm10 on my I757M.

It is very simple. On our phone there is a script set to run at boot every time the phone boots up which re-installs the 3e recovery. This script must be re-named or deleted.

In order to rename that file, you need root privileges, and to obtain root privileges, you need cwm installed.

This is the most difficult part since cwm is overridden as soon as you finish flashing cwm with Odin and the phone reboots.

In the above linked instructions, it is said that you need to remove the battery to stop the 3e recovery install script. This is not necessary. You need only remove the USB plug as soon as Odin displays a green pass message after flashing cwm.

Just as you need to remove the USB cord quickly, you must also press your 3 button combo as soon as you've unplugged the USB cord to enter recovery immediately before the phone has a chance to start up.

If you are successful, you will see cwm recovery and be able to flash either the root package or a custom ROM that includes root like cm9 or cm10.

Once you have root, you can change the filename of the recovery installer script with root explorer or another similar file manager app.

Once that is done, you will need to flash cwm one more time to make it stick. You should be a pro at this by now ;)

I currently run cm10 and like it much better than stock ICS from bell. It runs much smoother.

I used the cwm install instructions and files from the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1707126

And later used the cm10 install instructions and files from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853407

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Yeah, good point that the batt pull is not really required. I guess it just gives you extra time to get the 3 buttons pressed to access the recovery (as the phone auto boots after the usb is removed...). When you remove the battery, you have to manually turn the phone back on.
[Galaxy S II General] macsr:
Thank you for your work Socim (and crlogic and dsixda)!

I eagerly await the next build! I wish I could help more, but my expertise unfortunately lies in the realm of biology!
[Galaxy S II General] ljdizzo:
I was using the latest build. I have found with CM10 the less apps I have installed the less reboots I experience.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I have found the stock rom for Sasktel on Sam mobile and would like to have the option to switch back to this if I ever sell this phone. I tried to use the CWM install from zip but this didn't work, does anyone know how I would re-install the stock ROM?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ZarboktheMunificent:
I disabled the "Vibrate on unlock" option and my phone just constantly rebooted (to the point where I got stuck in a boot loop).

If anyone wants to try it, make sure you have a backup of your ROM done in case you have to re-flash.
[Galaxy S II General] xt700:
Flash through Odin
[Galaxy S II General] DoubleD84:
Has anyone else experienced problems with the sd mounting. Internal and external. I first had problems with PowerAmp having to add the library folders every time I rebooted the phone. It would take 5 minutes just to list the directory tree if it would even get that far.

I'm still having that issue but now Swype's dictionary disappears and that's just killing it for me.

Is there any idea what could be causing this or anyone having the same troubles?

hi guys, i had tried to flashed this rom for my ATT' I757, it can boot up, also the CWM works well, but the system runs very slowly. Is there anyone can tell me what the problem is? and how can i fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
as per the warning on the 1st post : WARNING! Do not flash this to a different device model from the one it's meant for. It will not work with the other Galaxy S2 iteration...

hope you can recover...
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Wow, that's surprising. I knew it wouldn't work with the GS2 non-HD variant, but I wonder what's different with the SGH-i757m between Bell and AT&T...
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
The i757

M

is not sold in the US through any official carrier. AT&T has the non-HD i757 (no M) only.

EDIT: yes yes I realized this is incorrect... see my note few posts down.
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up!
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Its pretty much a Canada-only device... hence the limited 3rd party support.
[Galaxy S II General] blindman845:
I flashing this device's CWM, and it works in my device, and also I can flashed the rom to it, but the problem is the system runs slowly( it will take a few minuts to run a program when i touch it), so I think there must be some where can modify maybe the scripts etc. then the rom can run in my device (ATT-I757).

I forget to note that my device is the one which was cancel release by ATT, but in PDAdb.net I757M and I757 are the same hardware, so i am try to flash this ROM to my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] lixboi:
wow, i'm trying this rom, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Ah.... my apologies... egg on my face.... let me correct myself...

The AT&T Skyrocket is i727; they never got the HD version i757 officially. So yes, if its an i757 then they're all the same (m or no m).
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Well I decided to flash Socim's latest CM10 build this morning.... lets see how it goes :good:
[Galaxy S II General] blindman845:
I think so, but the system runs very slowly after i flashed this rom to my device, that's what I asking. someone can give me a hand?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
I have the same issue. On stock ICS, the external SD card was mounted in the root /external_sd but now it's /storage/sdcard1

Is there a way to quickly re-install all previously installed apps from Google store? Its a huge pain to do this one app at a time.

Also, is there a way to show unread email count on the GMail icon?

Noticed that location-based services (weather, etc.) are not able to detect location. Even with GPS enabled.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I use go backup pro and it works very well for me :) it supports cloud backup to Google or dropbox :)

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Go to Settings -> System -> Status Bar and make sure that "Show Notification Count" is selected :)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Show Notification is enabled already. Still no unread count on gmail icon
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm currently running the 20121108 version of cm10 and it works no problem. Are you on the same version of the Rom?

Maybe try turning off the notification count option, then restart your phone and re-enable the option. Maybe that will help. Other than that, I'm not too sure about this one.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
I think we're on different pages... the status bar notification count works fine when an email arrives. There's a small number with the icon, on the status bar (at top of screen, with time, battery percent, etc.).

What I'm asking about is a count showing unread emails on the GMail app icon itself, on the homescreen or dock.
[Galaxy S II General] recordman:
Is anyone working on getting cm10.1 built? If not, does anyone know where I can get instructions on how to do this? I already have the cm10 build environment set up. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Ohhhhhh. I was totally on the wrong page ;)

I wasn't even sure that trebuchet supported that. I use go launcher ex instead of trebuchet and it does support that feature if that interests you :)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Hmm OK well I bought Nova launcher last year when it was on sale and it has the unread count feature too. Was hoping to minimize use of 3rd party system apps though... oh well.

Maybe its something that may be implemented in future release of CM
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm interested in helping with this.... I tried porting a ROM over but got distracted.... Lol I wish we could have slim bean
[Galaxy S II General] xt700:
I use "App backup&restore" by infolife llc in the market...works great to restore apps.:good:
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Thanks for the tips guys!

So far, very stable. Location apps working fine after reboot. No lock-ups or freezes yet.

Battery drain is terrible!! Even plugged into 2amp USB port on laptop, it still drains faster than it can charge even just checking emails. Definitely wasn't like this on stock ICS.

Can't win em all I guess :rolleyes:

Overall, I'm pretty happy though.

Many thanks to devs for working on this.
[Galaxy S II General] Corruption54:
Great build! best one so far and i can't thank you enough.

Battery life can last up to 20 hours + with light use.

Barely any reboots.

Instagram is finally working properly.

Only noticeable problem is when the vibrate setting is on, text notifications are silent with no vibrate which cause

some problems especially when expecting text messages. I've gone through every setting and still nothing. any ideas?

When i get a twitter notification, it vibrates... so i know vibration works.

Fixed: Found it in the SMS menu.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
What are your SMS notification settings? I'll see if I get the same issue or not; will keep it on vibrate and wait for txts lol
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Is there a way to assign quick-dial numbers?

On stock ICS, I configured long-pressing 5 on dialpad to call home number. And other similar quick dial numbers.

Is that still available now?

BTW, the battery drain seems to be better after a couple of battery pulls.
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
i've been on this rom since day one and it's been very stable. but in the last few days I had many blacksreen with no answer. i had to hold the power button for at least 10 seconds to boot. 3 times today. twice after a call. maybe it's the proximity sensor.

just wondering if i'm the only one...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I actually experienced this as well. Also, for some reason, the battery consumption sky rocketed. I have no idea why, but after re-flashing twice, it seems to be back to normal ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Just flashed most recent cm10 update, seems very stable only FC issues I've noticed are with theme Chooser and certain themes, ui stops upon applying themes. Other than that great build. Kernel update is stable so far. My first time with cyanogen at all and I'm impressed. Awsome build! Hopefully development for this device continues!

Oh ya. Battery drain is huge. Ill try reflashing x2 again but ya, that's a bit of a turn off. Otherwise good show!
[Galaxy S II General] blindman845:
@dsixda: hi, if you are reading this, please check the link, I had compared the two devices between I757 & I757M, it is seems the same, and I try times to flashed this ROM to my device, the device can start up, but it runs slowly, can you give me a hand to fix this problem?

[Galaxy S II General] SuperAndroid17:
help unlocking and cm9/10 comparison

Ok my quick opinion:

Upograded from cm9 and tbh I feel like cm9 is much snappier. I raised the touch sensetivity but it still feels like cm9 is better, however I want the jellybean goodness so I will keep it running as it's not like it isn't a stellar ROM I just like cm9 better. However I did have a problem in cm9 with skype/oovoo video calls as they don't work at all however voice calling in skype does work. Has anyone got it to work ?

This leads me to my next question, I am fairly new to rooting/androids however I did read up a decent bit and came to the understanding that rooting would unlock my phone. I have put in a simcard in the cm9 ics firmware and it didn't read sim at all so I thought it's just a ROM bug or something as I see others with the same issue. Since upgrading to the most recent cm10 but it's askin for sim unlock pin and I am quite confused because I had thought it would be unlocked

please and thanks for the help all great site you got here :)

Also I'm just taking in that the latest version of this firmware has no root access how can we achieve this ?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
So, root is different than sim unlock. Root provides you access to modify system protected files where as sim unlock/carrier unlock allows you to use your device with a sim card from any carrier.

I've never sim unlocked because I have no need for it and that will permanently void your warranty (no way back as far as I know). If you want a sim unlock, search Google for just that. Make sure it's in reference to your exact model of phone.

In regards to the no root on the latest version (121212) that was pointed out by another member and a fix was posted. You'll have to flash that fix from cwm to get root back. The file can be downloaded from http://d-h.st/s50

How that helps
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Is there a way to change the default save location for camera pics and vids to external SD card?

I had it that way on stock ICS but can't find an option for it now. All pics are being saved to built-in mem.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] deafened:
When in the camera app, select the settings icon, the select the 3 dots icon. There should be a Storage option there.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Thanks for the tip. I looked there already and don't see any option to change storage.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It's the first option under the 3 dots called store location. Turn on that option and it should ask you for store location ;)

Edit: scratch that. That's for a gps location. Sorry!
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Yea that writes the gps data to the pic...
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
Where is version 121212? The latest version I see in crlogic's file site is 121108, what am I missing?

The most recent version I see is:

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That was posted here:

And beware, this version does not include root, so you must also go to the next page where you will download the zip socim made to fix what he forgot to include which was root.

Flash the Rom first then, flash the root zip. (All fine through cwm)

Hello.

i have been poping up and checking xda for a while but finally registered. i used to have the galaxy s2 i9100 for bell, dropped a weight on it. had a huge screw up with bell and a month and a half later i got the galaxy s2 hd lte 1757m.... well not much support and a few of the roms were not that great. the latest one from december works well but i like the edits that strange did to his rom. so hats off to you strange. anyways i'm here to introduce myself and i dont know how to develop so i really am in the developers care so, i like to say thank you to all the developers on this part of the forum for the i757m. As i use your roms and enjoy your hard work i wouldn't mind sending a donation here and there so please do put up a link here and there, so that i can do so :) :good:
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Be sure to check out the themes for the theme engine if you have it ;) there's a lot of good themes out there to spruce up your phone ;)

For donations, you can check the signature for a link to donate, or if browsing from a web browser on your computer, most devs include their PayPal email if they have one and a button appears underneath their username in any post ;)

Hey guy,

been away for quite some time. Spent a great deal of time recently in the hospital. Not much fun I can assure you. I see that a few new releases have occurred since my last visit.

Going to give Dadoes (strange) varation a shot with hopes that it is the last time I need flash a rom. Been using CM9 up to this point as my daily driver, but word is that this version of cm10 im about to flash is fully stable and good to go now. Never thought I would see the day where we had a stable Jelly Bean for this phone.

Very pleased.
[Galaxy S II General] skodazek:
Curious,

Noticed there is no general email app in dodoes build. Anyone know where to aquire it? Was unable to locate on Google play either.
[Galaxy S II General] Strange Peer:
Allo, I'll attached it later, I'm a Google user so I didn't need it!

If other apps are missing and need/want it just ask,

I've got a new ROM, so before uploading it... maybe l'll include those apps you're missing!

thx for trying my custom ROM!

have a nice week!

EDIT: files attached, not to be flash, move them to system/app and set permission/right as always!
[Galaxy S II General] 4runner10:
Hey, sorry to hear you were spending much time in the hospital. I hope everything is on the upswing now! CM10 has come incredibly far thanks to all the dev work. Leaps and bounds since the earlier CM10 where it would crash very often. PA is great too, so we now have more than 1 stable JB Rom! Fantastic!
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
hello strange.... how do you acces usb mass storage mode on your build? i cant seem to find it.

Also I don't know if you want to do this but task manager would be useful. I have a flashable zip for it that I found separate but I can email it if you want to add it to your ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] Strange Peer:
allo Tronith,

go to: System settings/Storage

then open contextual menu and choose: USB computer connection

next: enable USB mass storage

cheers! シ
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Thank you that is a lot of help. I made an edit on my previous post with a few suggestions if you would like to add to your ROM. Thank you again!

*edit* just wanted to check if this happens to anyone else. If I lock my screen sometimes it turns off and when I try to unlock much to my surprise the phone boots up. This seems to happen often when the battery is 20% or less
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Yes the reboot at unlock is pretty common
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Had a 'random' reboot this morning... and now the APN settings are gone. List is empty... strange.

Anyone else come across this issue?

I took the battery out and SIM card as well; re-inserted and automagically APN list is back.
[Galaxy S II General] ryaneford:
A few random resets when doing some searching via Chrome. Nothing huge so far.

Just so I know, the interface lag, will this be rectified or is this how JB would normally run on devices? Not a huge deal at all for me, I just see it being a little chuggy in the home screen is all.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Project Butter is not working in other devices like the I9100 either. I don't know any more details, I just build it. A third party launcher like Holo HD may help with the lag.
