I have already flashed back to my daily driver. I have also ported [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] 's 10.1.3v2 Sabermod/Linaro rom. I work two jobs and am pretty busy but I am setting up my build environment for CM11. I have bookmarked all of Wayland's fixed for different bugs and if they arent merged with the main source I will merge them in my own. The main thing I am working out now is setting up the proprietary blobs for the i777 and integrating them in the CM11 source to build with. The problem is there isn't a repo already setup for CM11 so I will have to create it. Entropy has done most of the work for it for OmniRom and I will most likely be using most of his i777 source. This part is new to me so I am learning this on the way. Once everything is setup and I am able to build functional builds I will try to then use the Sabermod tool-chain along with Linaro for the kernel. [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] has inspired me to mimic what he is doing for the i9100 and I have seen how big a difference it has made for my phone. I will post the CM10.1.3v2 port today as well. As I said I use this as my daily driver and everything works on it. Including GPS!

Kind Regards,

great port after a full day of testing the rom ran great no problems other than the batter bug runs better than 4.3.1 ever did on my i777

phone works

camera works both the pics and rec

games i've tested works (gba emu, and plants v zombies 2) both would freeze or FC on my 4.3

sorry but i have to say this launcher is better though http://goo.gl/19HBuF

and not a single random FC yet

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
OK I have ported it but the battery bug still remains. That means the problem is with the kernel and not the rom itself at this point. I believe this since the i9100 no longer has this issue while I still do. Still there are other commits added so I will upload it shortly. Just FYI guys,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Apart from the battery bug, when I changed from dalvik to art, it kept force closing gapps and other services constantly. Also when video recording it would freeze the camera app. Otherwise, I haven't found any other bugs.

Edit: Also found that the browser doesn't auto fit the pages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I do know that you need a different set of GApps. Google KitKat GApps for ART and you will find some that are compatible. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though!

Thanks for the heads up. KitKat is A LOT smoother than my current cm10.2 nightly. Thanks for porting it over to us. Greatly appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lostboy2909:
Okay, as the battery indicator is messed up, is there any way to find the battery percent? Awesome ROM otherwise :D:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I believe its an issue with the Kernel. There was a fix for the battery issue but since its been merged the sip files that housed the fix are all missing now and links are broken. Since I have ported the rom from the i9100 I had to use a Kernel that is for the i777. Its an early build for the i777 and KitKat. I am currently running off the my first build of CM11 for the i777 so it will be built natively for our wonderful device. If all goes well with this rom I am building them I will build using the Sabermod and Linaro Toolchains. I am a huge believer of the two.

Sabermod is for the ROM and Linaro is for the Kernel. If you are unfamiliar with them both and want to see them in actions check out the other rom I ported. Its the CM10.1.3 and its build with Sabermod and uses AJ's awesome kernel that is build with Linaro. That rom will blow your pants off with how fluid it is. I can wait to see what it does with KK for our phone!

Found out that my CWM was 6.0.2.7 and I found on mr. cook's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982571 with a 6.0.4.4 verson of CWM so I updated to that and had 0 errors installing.

Thank you for porting this. Can't wait to try it. Has anyone tried AJK with this ROM yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Ajk's kernel is not compatible with this Rom as it says in the title of ajk's thread (it says jb). At least, that's what I inferred.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
That is correct. As of v4.9 AJK is not compatible with any Android 4.4 ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
So I am running into some build errors at the moment. I will keep at it. On my main machine I was uploading the new port I had done but it seems to have hung so I will try again. I wish AJ's Kernel works 4.4 but since there hasn't really been a 4.4 rom out or any real 4,4 i777 sources, that makes it harder to do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
That's awesome. This ROM is pretty sweet other than the battery issue. That's sort of a dealbreaker. Were you able to fix that in the build or is it definitely kernel related?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
A very good and responsive daily driver. Battery issue is annoying but who cares we got kit Kat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phillytemptation:
Do you think we'll have to factory wipe again with an update? I'm thinking about trying this out as a daily driver, but a little hesitant getting all my apps/settings right if we're going to have to wipe to get it to boot.

Build 11/23/2013 is online!

For me the battery bug remained

I still have had build errors that I am working through. I am sure though, that the problem is with the kernel I am using. So instead of continuing through the build errors I will just wok on building the new kernel natively for our device. HOPEFULLY it will be easier to work through than the rom portion. I just wanted to give a heads up.

Hey Render I have a few questions to ask you...

Will 3d games play fine on this ROM? Or will they crash?

Is the rom stable enough for normal use?

Will the battery issue be fixed? Not trying to rush you, i just really want to try it out

And will the kernel support over clocking?

Thanks for your time!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I think the Rom is stable enough for daily use. Everything I used worked fine. If I can build the CM11 Kernel correctly, that will resolve the Battery Bug. I have been running into build errors. I feel confident I will at least get a stock CM11 kernel out and if so I will then work to add some features to it. Other issue I foresee is [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] is now building his rom using newer Mali Drivers and I am not sure if the sources I have for the CM11 kernel and out phone support that yet so Hopefully I can work with him to port that over as well. So my main goal right now is build a stock CM11 Kernel to work with the current build and then go from there. Lastly I am not some super Dev like the people around here so it may take me a bit longer but I am persistent and will get though it. Luckily people are willing to help point someone like me in the right direction.

That is great news Render. I can hardly wait for the battery bug to be fixed. This is gonna be fun. I only ran the ROM for a day, but it survived the whole day without any problems (my day started at 9am that day and ended around midnight. On ShoStock3, I got 4 hrs less than what I got on this rom. Keep it up!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Surprisingly, no. I was impressed.

My battery died a few minutes after installing this Rom cuz I was at very low battery. (I was plugged in to the charger), but when I charged my phone and woke up next morning, it still showed the messed up battery percentage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddiemc12:
power off the phone manually and plug in the charger without turning it back on and wait until the battery icon comes up and you will see the correct percentage of the battery inside the icon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I must say this ROM was quite stable for the day and a half i used it. I had no reboots or force close. I also restored all my apps via tibu pro. No problems at all except for a few apps that were not yet compatible with kk - bbs, being one of those. However sven has since then fixed it but bbs must be installed as a system app bc an app now requires root to call on battery info.

On another note, I have been able to work through some annoying build errors and have been able to at least get through the build process. I had one abnormality but am working on that. After creating a working stock Kernel for the current rom, I will then add the new Mali Drivers to work with infected_'s newer builds since they are built using the new mali drivers.

Hey guys. It looks like we got an official OmniRom 4.4 build before the i9100. Thats pretty cool . You can download it from here: http://dl.omnirom.org/i777/

You should be able to use the same GApps posted for this rom. I had originally ported the CM11 build just so people could try out some KitKAt goodness but I believe I will continue to develop CM11 since its a different product from Omni all together and those of you out there may still want it. But I love what the OmniRom team is doing so I support their work as well. Check it out.

Used the Carbon 4.3.1 ROM until 3-4 days back and used MIUI V5 for 1-2 days just to get a taste of what everybody is raving about… and now, finally getting a taste of 4.4 on my SGH-i777!

- Battery status would not display. Every time I disconnect from the charger, the phone warns me that there is very little power left. Like DD said, I see -1061820012% in the battery status. Also, because there is no assurance for battery status, I fear using this ROM as a daily driver.

- Camera works ok as long as I do not switch it to Camcorder mode. In Camcorder mode, recording sfarts.. but app FCs when you stop recording. No recording is actually saved. Other than these 2 peeves, I guess it looks pretty good. I would like some option where I can configure status bar like displaying battery % etc.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Tried this ROM, and everything works out of the box. I did not bother trying to use ART so far. But if anybody is looking for a 4.4 daily driver, this is it - OmniROM Nightly 11.27 + GApps file you posted + SuperSU (because root control is not evident).

Important: The ROM changes your recovery to TWRP. For someone who prefers CWM, they need to be aware. Personally, I do prefer CWM, but can work with TWRP as well. If you have never worked with TWRP before and end up searching for your files on the internal sd, click into emmc folder to find your files.
