Looking forward to purchase a Samsung galaxy i777 (gsm) soon now.

Will be purchasing the unlocked version, Just have a little query..

Do the ROMS come out favouring any particular carrier?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
What do you mean by favoring a carrier, I mean it is an at&t specific phone after all.

So CM10 is good for everything except mhl...what about stock ics from kies and rooting it after that. Is that simple to do?

I'm interested in project butter and all but even ics would be great as long as its not a CPU hog and laggy. I know it runs fine on the epic 4g touch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
I'm just going to use Kies to get ICS, then find an easy root method
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Would actually be easier to root and flash a custom ICS ROM...

Also, breaking Wi-Fi is nothing. Flash a kernel to obtain cwm and you've got Wi-Fi back and you're ready to flash a ROM.

And cwm, that's clockwork mod recovery, right? I don't understand where and when to use recovery.

I've been reading for the past few Weeks I just don't see anything cut and dry about the order of things. I understand what a kernel is, superuser, what a rom is. I basically understand what recovery is for. Using windows analogies makes it easier to understand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Not being rude, but you need to read this. If you already have, read it until you understand.

That thread is pretty cut and dry, but he are the steps in short plus some helpful info(still read the thread):

Create a nandroid backup

Backup apps with titanium backup (TiBu)

Root

Flash kernel (gb for you)

Download ROM of choice (read the OP until you completely understand what's needed for a successful flash)

Reboot into CWM recovery

Flash the ROM (remember, there may be a step before/after this like full wipe, flag GAPPS or something else, the OP of the ROM you choose will have that information)

Reboot (will take a minute or two)

Restore apps (do NOT restore data on system apps)

That says its an invalid thread. question about the apps though, does the google play store remember/sync with your account what ones you've paid for or would you have to buy them again if you lost them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
sorry, fixed the link. You don't lose your apps, just the app data unless you restore with TiBu. You will have to reinstall them, but they will show up once you log back into the play store.

Awesome that's great info. So with my kk6 phone I can flash the other kernel from within my phone with dropbox?! I'm going to do that in a little bit.

I'll use my gf's s2 for the instructions. There's no reliable windows PC here to attempt any of this on so I'm also stockpiling the files. Personal opinions on either kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Doesn't matter. Especially if you're flashing a ROM afterwards (ROMS come packaged with a kernel though you can flash others)

This is tricky picking a rom especially one with mhl and jelly bean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
Since you got a brand new i777 you won't use the TIBU step cuz you don't have any installed app to restore.

But Tibu must be your very first app installed on your custom rom.

And before flash the custom rom(JB recommended), format system and data partitions. That's just to start fresh.

Don't jump any step provided by Clay. He is a veteran here and know what he is talking about.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
Is it fine to use Kies to backup the stuff I want backed up or do I need to use Nandroid. You can restore the files back even with a different kernel or rom right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
OK, you certainly need to start reading on your own, because you have no clue what Nandroid does. And if you can't read, or can read and don't understand - then you shouldn't be touching your phone. Last one that didn't listen to me when I wrote that doesn't have a booting phone anymore.

This thread has long deteriorated into spoon-feeding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
alright sucess, I rooted with Odin3 and flashed Siyah's kernel with mobile odin. I should have read up on nandroid more, but your rude demeanor is unneccessary Jack.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
navigation is part of google maps, and swype is available from their site to install.

what i dont think you realize is that the STOCK Samsung setup put that in there, it wasnt 'removed' in AOSP builds...

Its sad ppl weren't more willing to help. I've been on here for over 5 years and seen attitudes seriously deteriorate over time. I've had my SGS2 for over a year and out of curiosity, I went back to see the info on rooting/flashing. Confusing as can be. I'd hate to be starting from scratch. Its much easier with a recently released device as you just go with the flow as new ways are coming out. But on a legacy device like ours, there is information overload. You don't know what is current/out of date/dangerous with current devices.

After a little reading, I would probably follow this guide but flash whichever Rom I wanted: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_(AT%26T):_Full_Update_Guide

Good Luck and welcome to the SGS2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Butchr:
Agreed. I follow several of the phone forums here, and it seems that this one is the most flaming on noob forums on the site. I hate to see people post ridiculous questions that have been asked a hundred times but in fairness to them I don't have to read their post much less click on their thread and flame. Sad an pathetic for anyone to think that they do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I mainly wanted to be as careful as possible. I don't have a warranty or insurance on my phone, but I do want to get the most out of it.

I was reinstalling apps and maps was one off them, and I saw navigation with it. I didn't know Swype was only available only on their website (which I am using now as I Swype this message). I do have the 4.2 keyboard I could flash in cwm for fun.

I had to get used to this rom but it's definitely sweet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
On one side, some people are crying that there's information overload.

On the other side, the same people are crying that baby questions aren't answered.

And they also seem to forget that the suggestion not to answer noob questions will very fast lead to noobs answering noobs with false info, most if not all people with knowledge getting tired and refraining from answering, and an informative DEVELOPERS forum sinking into common ignorance.

May I remind you that this is XDA-DEVELOPERS, not XDA-users or XDA-crybabies.

It so happened that I followed several threads of that type, where a question that shouldn't have been answered at all was answered, leading to another question and another question, more and more deteriorating towards complete spoon feeding. None of these threads has stopped on time by themselves. So what's better - a harsh response to noobs and informative forum with some people that are capable of answers, or a noob-friendly forum with a lot of false information where noobs are very welcome, but nobody with knowledge is willing to help them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:

Understood. Point taken. I am no where near a developer. I am an end user, and tester. I appreciate this is a developers forums. Developers come and go. As of late it seems more going than coming. I appreciate all the work the devs here do. If we continue to flame noobs here where are the next developers going to come from? Besides that the majority of people I see flameing really aren't devs at all. Just clingers on who really contribute little if anything besides some flameing posts to the scene.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
There's a difference between flaming and telling someone that they need to search and read more before modifying their phone. Because when they DONT read, and DONT search, guess where they post their questions that could have been answered and problems PREVENTED by doing what we signed up to do when we all make our accounts? They post them here.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ Krush:
So, I changed the name of the light theme to a custom name by using the wp7 root tool by heathcliff. After doing that, I can't open any apps on my phone, not even root tool or nokia's own diagnostic tool or games (well, game is considered an app). The app actually opens for like 1 second and closes instantly. Even after rebooting the phone, the same thing happens. I am still able to access email and the phone setting except for theme.

I am trying my luck by asking if there's anyway to edit the phone's registry by using PC and if there's no way, then sad enough, I'll have to hard reset my phone :(:(:(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza9075:
you did make a backup of your device via zune before poking around didn't you?

if you have used zune to update recently you can restore to that which may lose some stuff but at least not everything

as for changing the reg via the PC without being able to run any apps on the phone, I believe your out of luck
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I'm guessing you have a Lumia 710? It *might* be possible to write an app that uses the Nokia registry access or provxml driver (I.E. doesn't require Root Tools) and is able to modify the registry at launch, before it tries to load its UI (trying to load the UI probably being the step where things will break and crash). Might, I say...

Thanks to everyone for taking their time to reply, I did not backup my phone and does not have the knowledge to make an app. I think the easiest way out for me is to just hard reset my phone.

My question is, if I were to re-root my phone, would it be safe for me to do a Nandroid restore, not from the Omega ROM, but from a Nandroid Backup that I made of the phone when I first rooted it when it was still running on JB 4.1.1 Stock?

Hi guys,

so i got my N7 a few days ago and about 5 min later the "Camera Launcher for Nexus 7" app.

I wanted to see how "bad" the camera is and tried it on stock 4.1.2 w/o root. It stutters like the camera sensor is only working with 10 or 15 fps.

Then i thought "maybe it's a root thing" so i rooted my N7 and it still stuttered. I looked here in the forums and found the 720p mod so i tried this and still, stuttering.

I pulled a testvideo on my PC and looked in the filedetails and saw that is was recorded with 7fps.

So my question is, is it a hardware related issue or a software issue?

Hope someone can help me here.
