I also had the galaxy s2 for a long time, so I don't see how having an old phone makes someone not want the latest and greatest. I moved to the Oppo Find 7a which is a 5.5 inch phone. Even with my relatively small hands, I can use my phone one handed for a majority of tasks. Just a point I wanted to share.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Same with the Moto X in comparison to the iPhone 5s. It is only slightly taller. Another example is the lg g3. It is 5.5 inches but smaller than the 5.2 inch Xperia Z2.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

May be so, but it really does have to compete in the current market. Even the OnePlus One is a better option than the moto x.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bleggy:
yeah, plenty of decent options out there for everyone. but I definitely have a preference for smaller phones since I keep it in my front pocket and I dont wear baggy clothing -- less is more to me. the size of the i777 is what I'm after. my pricepoint is on par with a nexus 5. and I want factory unlocked.

the oneplus one phone...too big, too hard to acquire, not into cyanogenmod, I'd like to hold one before buying. and the company seems like its run by a incompetent morons. I wouldn't want to mail a defective phone to china and deal with them.

moto x: cheaper by the day, 64gb option, custom colors, several roms available already, stock moto android is great if I dont want to flash, easy customer service, small enough size. I'll wait to see the x+1, though. maybe not for everyone but I think its a good choice for me.

Has anyone verified the swapped mic issue?

Edit: I am using the 2014 August 8 nightly, and there is no mic swap issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bleggy:
no problems on 8-2, as far as I can tell. running the 6/23 render/cook kernel tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
It went away for me. Rebooting probably fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
Okay so it's not actually gone.

Incoming calls work great, people hear me fine.

Outgoing calls are the problem. I have to talk into the top microphone in order for anyone to hear me.

I've attached a logcat of me attempting an outgoing call. Seems like searching for "yamaha" should turn up the necessary information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I ran Omni for the second half of yesterday and placed several calls without any issue whatsoever. I placed three calls and received two calls over that period, and the person on the other end could hear me clearly every-time. I was operating on a fresh-installation, without any gapps installed. Until this issue is easily and reliably repeatable, it's going to be very tough to discern whether it's a firmware issue, or a user-setup issue.

I could also compare a known-good call-log with yours... (thinking out loud)

It would be very helpful for ANY other Omni users to chime in and let us know if you are experiencing any of this behavior.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
I've attached a logcat of an incoming call here, maybe we can spot the difference in audio/microphone routing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bleggy:
no problems here. 8-24 nightly w/ 6-23 render kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JohnC60:
I ran into a similar problem twice recently. Incoming calls were fine. However, outgoing calls would complete but there was no voice audio in either direction. If I use the keypad, the called party will hear the tones. Rebooting took care of the problem in both of these cases.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

I see that Omni for our S2 is still getting nightly builds. However, there hasn't been any changes in weeks. Or maybe I'm not reading the change log correctly. Which means that the current build (8/29) is the same as the 7/25 build? And, there's no point in updating?. :)

-John
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
I updated to the most recent nightly and it seems to be fine now, but I'll keep an eye on it.

https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/status:merged,n,z

That is the "official" changelog for all devices - not everything will apply to the S2 though.

pa micro gapps starting to not fit /system after awhile (with art enabled). I had to clear the cache to do a playstore app update. switching over to banks minimal asap, but it seems google is blowing up their app sizes so it might be a lost cause in the future without repartitioning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] edwin270:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Other than those noted in the OP?

Bluetooth voice search/dialing does not work on this (or any other) 4.4 i777 firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I'm thinking this may be kernel related. I'm gonna look into it before my last shift update. Added about 80-90 commits to this point. I see a lot of Bluetooth action in kernels so maybe I'll stumble across something in the next few days. Commits are literally all behind the scenes anyway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TeutonJon78:
So, does the newest OmniROM kernel contain the FPBug fix, or do we need to flash a different kernel on top?

I don't see it in gerrit, or Github, so someone would either have to run an unnoficial build, or you would need to flash a custom kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Madcat8686:
I flashed this today from complete stock and I was surprised how well it runs given the age of this phone. I use it while abroad so I'm not slamming SIM cards right and left in my phone I use in the states. I'm also surprised that the version I used was dated today. I can't believe that this Rom is still in development. Awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighmen:
Is this rom/thread still alive? I have been using it since last year. Today I went into "Developer options" simulate secondary screen 1080p and my phone is soft bricked at the startup animation (I haven't done a nandroid backup since ... long ace time ago). Should I just give up and move to the newest rom? IDK what kind of data I had on the phone... sigh... Lots of recent contacts I haven't synced though. =/ Could I use ADB on the PC to connect to the phone and unbrick it?

I got a jig (old usb jig to reset that Triangle/counter) But idk if that works on kitkat.

EDIT:

Prayed about it. Fixed itself. Thank God :)

I was trying to reboot into TWRP holding PWR/Vol- and it booted itself into safe mode. I turned off Simulate secondary display, and all is good. YAY.

Can I go back to Jellybean from kitkat and keep TWRP? There was a unicorn rom, (fast, multitude of features/options graphically) and kitkat was more of a downgrade LOL.

I believe you can flash AJK's kernel and that will give you CWM. After you flash the kernel reboot into recovery and then you can flash your backup.

Get a hold of the latest CWM zip floating around, flash it reboot into recovery and then restore nandroid. TiBu wasn't fully compatible with 4.4 which is why its giving problems. Koushs Helium worked fine for me

7-Nova launcher

8-Root browser

9-twitter

10-Whatsapp

how to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
This firmware has an issue with how it looks for the external sd card, so play store items that install to the SD card routinely fail. I am unsure whether it's rom or kernel related, but I suspect it is the latter. I am unaware of a fix, but it also causes issues with apps that use the external sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I did notice that this firmware has serious issues when powered off, and plugged into a charging cable or PC. It it unclear exactly what is happening, but the phone is definitely NOT off, when it is expected to be off.

I was only able to start the phone OR boot into recovery AFTER the cable was unplugged.

when I need a fast charge, I would power the phone completely off, then connect the charger. This issue prevents me from being able to do that. I'll report it to the OMNI JIRA today, along with the sd-card weirdness.

You need to be in latest CWM or at least in CWM 6.0.4.4. You have to search the forums for it.

exchange services wakelock?

Anyone who has setup an exchange email account on this firmware; have you experienced that exchange goes into a sync loop? for me this results in a wake-lock, and significant battery drain.

I noticed it when the battery monitor listed "exchange services" at the top.

I was able to stop the cycling by de-selecting under: settings > corporate > [account] > email.

The sync behavior seems normal after re-starting the service.

This has happened for me on several clean installs, but I'm always using the same exchange account.

My goal is to figure out whether this is an isolated incident, any help is appreciated.

In the last nightly I can't apply ART. It reboot but in Dalvik :/ any idea why is that happening?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I am on a fresh install of 12-02, and I just switched from dalvik to art, which succesfully rebooted to ART.

perhaps time to try a clean install.

It's always helpful to backup your existing setup, and perform tests for problems on a cook-wiped-clean install before reporting them. This helps to verify that the problem is not based on any residual system issues, and you have the option to revert to your old setup if you don't want to rebuild everything at the time of testing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
OK so i enabled ART and so far so good. But now I'm completely out of space on my 2 GB system partition?? I've only got 740mb of apps installed but the Dalvik-Cache folder has 650mb of stuff in it. I rebooted into recovery and wiped it but when I rebooted it just rebuilt it all over (its also ALOT slower then it was when using dalvik). Shouldn't this folder be empty now??

EDIT: Nevermind above i read how ART works now hah. But still im out of space ONLY when using it. And now I'm thoroughly confused. Settings> Storage tells me I have 740mb of Apps installed, and my 2gb system partition has 80mb free, so what does this number really reflect? Using ES File Explorer, my System/Apps folder is only like ~150mb ("Full" PA Gapps pack installed), and my Data/Apps folder is only like 89mb. Ive literally only got like 15 apps installed from the store aside from the PA Gapps.

Am I the only one that ran out of space on ART? Ive bounced back and forth to dalvik and the problem only happens when using ART. I didnt even have space to install a 2mb cache cleaning app, but according to the phone I had 84mb free..

Hi guys! I tried this on my nephew's phone, he really wanted me to root and flash a cool ROM, so I tried this ROM.

It was running acceptable before flashing today's nightly, now the launcher won't load, so I can't open any app. I can see the status bar and use it, but no wallpaper. Rebooting it gets stuck on the splash screen, wiping let's me reboot, but I get no home screen again.

I also tried CM, but TWRP won't let me flash it (will try other ROMs as soon as I get home). It "can't mount" the SD card, although I can browse files and flash omni with no problems. Flashing GAPPS won't work either.

Also, I get the "Couldn't install to USB or SD Card" error when installing some apps, that's why I tried moving to CM since this ROM doesn't read the External SD Properly. Once I tried moving to CM, all hell broke loose. Maybe omni is trying to punish me? :P

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ahren37:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have followed the initial install instructions exactly...rom is great, but installing a nightly over the existing one always gets stuck at "finishing boot" , with a different app each time (feedly, redbox, etc...). I have tried wiping Dalvik and cache before, after, before and after, and not at all...always the same result. I have resorted to titanium backups of user apps and data to make full wipes less painful.

Also 12/3 nightly had a bug where the notification drawer button to switch to quick tiles would disappear if you switched back and forth to landscape with the drawer open. Appears to be resolved in 12/4 nightly. Keep up the great work on this rom. It feels like an early Christmas present to my phone.

Edit: notification drawer problem is still present. Not sure what I did differently to trigger it.
