I just got my stock replacement phone from warranty yesterday been following your work for the past 2 weeks looks pretty good just wondering 2 things if the video recorder bug and the battery percentage indicator bug were fixed now.

Thanks for all your hard work on this rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] feedmenomnom19:
The battery bug is fixed video recording still freezes

Render you should change the name of this ROM well I mean here is my suggestion call it KitKat_Broken and have the logo be a pic that's something like KitKat is bitten or broken saying break me off a piece of that KitKat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Next Update:

Linaro 4.7.4 smoothness for both the Rom and Kernel ( I also believe that ART remains intact but not 100% sure)

New Mali Drivers

Camera Fixes (Hopefully they work)

This new build should be complete by the time I get home and I will upload then.

Excited to see the new Mali drivers in action. I do know there are even newer ones out than the ones in the next build but I will need to manually port them. Touch Screen driver is next on my todo list. Also more GCC Toolchain changes. I want to incorporate SaberMod 4.8 but my understanding is it breaks ART. I would like to keep ART intact right now. For me, I mainly use my phone for work. I constantly use GMail, Email, Drive, Chrome, Flip, G+, MMS and last but not least address book. I want to be able to work efficiently. I have an extensive address book and I don't like the lag when typing in numbers. Its not that bad but its noticeable. So if I can build an extremely efficient Rom then that's my goal.

Regards,

Sorry guys, I will correct shortly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Ok so the link is fixed. Apparently I have no skillz in copy/pasting. The next build I am running off right now will be the first to really deviate from CM although in an under the hood. Courtesy of a couple submits to Omni's Gerrit I decided to go ahead and cherry-pick some new schedulers and governors. Some that CM currently have will be updated but mostly new ones will be added. I am not sure I want to add any fsync changes as its not that big of a difference (to me) when turned off. Also Over Clocking is something I will have to take slowly since I want to have the different governors be able to take advantage of the higher frequency. I can Add over clocking but it wont be properly implemented. If I can I will do real nightlies to establish the rom base then once I am happy with it I will slow down accordingly. Once I get too far from CM11 I will rename the rom so there is no confusion for the Purist out there. Let me know if yall see a difference in the performance of the rom compared to the beginning when I was porting infected_'s. I just want to see if only I notice a difference.

Kind Regards,

Hi render new build still uploading md5 check file in there but not the build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
OK, sorry for the uploading BS. I had started uploading my build last night and its still not done. Its saying it cannot resolve the host. Im getting rid of "copy". I thought this was going to be the solution I needed but it looks like its a pain in the ass. So I am looking for something else. . .

Edit:

Just bought MediaFire Pro!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I am on a bandwidth crunch right now so I will have to wait til later tonight to re-upload my new build.

Another another note, I am going to approach adding new features differently. I will start sprinkling them in. What that means is instead of adding a bunch of features in one go I will add one here and there. For example I don't want to add Lockscreen Notifications and Active screen. Since there will most likely be a merge error and it makes it harder to track down and fix correctly.

What I am aiming for is adding 1 or 2 Features to Framework/base and packages/apps/Settings.

These two projectors are responsible for almost all customization you see between the different Roms out there.

Of course I will still be adding to other projects around the Build Source that will add to further optimize with linaro.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I am going to start into it sometime very soon. They only have two kernels built for it currently. Both are pretty conservative in their approach. I would like to stay as stable as possible but have it so the end user can decide what they want to do with their device. Wether its save even more battery or push the limits some.

Newest build is finally uploaded to my new location. I decided to buy a Media Fire account so faster downloaded and no ads await you! I am updating OP to reflect new download location.

Please let me know how these newer build are working for you. I had a few people tell me of some weird issues they are experiencing. This new build should alleviate them but if not please share in the thread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I'm glad to see render back in action. Just in time for bad news from me. My charging port is giving out really bad, so I have to remove my battery to charge. Very rarely it will change on a cord but it's selective.

Luckily I'm able to order my new phone tomorrow (then I have to wait on shipping) so I'll unfortunately be decreasing my involvement on the i777.

For now I'll keep posting the unofficial nightly builds, but it seems like render might be ramping up for more builds so I may discontinue mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
thank you, downloaded just fine, installed just fine, booting up now booted up just fine. now to rebuild themes and apps.

Thank you for all your contributions! What phone you getting?

Very glad to hear!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I'm getting the AT&T lg g2 (d800) my wife has the Verizon lg g2 (vs980).

Once I have my new phone and it's stable for a daily driver I'll try to fix my charging port on my i777 and use it to experiment on and let my son (2yr old) have it for games.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I am also getting the LG G2, but the Unlocked International variant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I have AT&T and so I'm getting their variant because I want the LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Cm still hasn't fixed the front video recording other then that haven't ran across any bugs yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I have t mobile but since it is unlocked, I can switch carriers and it will still work. I might go away from t mobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I like the way T-Mobile thinks, I like their plans and pricing and the whole un-carrier thing, but their coverage isn't the best where I am.

Keep in mind if you want 4g LTE you have to get a handset model with the right bands to support the LTE bands your network offers. Just by example the d802 (international) doesn't support AT&T's LTE bands. And the d800 (AT&T) doesn't support the T-Mobile LTE bands. T-Mobile has very little LTE coverage in my experience anyway. The same apply to hspa+ (the other 4g).

And there pretty much no 4g at all on any prepaid other than AT&T (and the plans there are a little jacked up)

P.s. I'm excluding smaller regional carriers in all of my statements.

Anyway pick your network first (usually prioritize coverage, then price, then speed like 4g) then pick your phone to work on your network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I am not saying you should get the International variant lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dashrendar:
I got a Nexus 5 for my wife on our wedding anniversary as an upgrade to her Samsung Infuse. She loves how responsive it is.

Very nice phone. However, when you move to it from the i777, you will miss the true blacks of the screen. I wasn't too fond of the backlight bleed around the edges on N5.

I only rooted her N5, put custom recovery, and used Xposed Framework with Gravity Box to tweak it a little. I don't know how Android can survive without Greenify.

Bio: I was born and I haven't died yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I was contemplating getting the Nexus 5, or the LG G2. How is the battery life on her Nexus 5? I ask because I hear mixed results on its battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dashrendar:
Unfortunately, she hadn't gotten the chance to use it for a while as it is out of the box. I aggressively made it battery friendly by installing Greenify to hibernate continuously running apps, turning off Google Now and its hot word detection (she doesn't use it at all), turning off location reporting, installing MyProfiles to control what's on and what's off with regards to Wi-Fi, mobile data, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. With that said, she can go for a day and several hours easy.

But I did read the mixed opinions about battery life out of the box.

I flashed the new build (cm-11-20140225-UNOFFICIAL-i777). After seeing that everything was working alright I went ahead and flashed the custom kernel (Render-CM11-KK-01-25-CWM) It flashed fine and got the confirmation message. But when I reboot it and go to settings and check the kernel version it still shows me "3.0.101 zachariah@Linux-Box......." I am sure it is not the custom kernel that is been shown. Can someone tell me what is going on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plaseo:
I believe that is correct...you are using render's kernel. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
Glad to hear that.. Is Zachariah the real name of our man? :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
Awesome.. :)

BTW, the new build is amazing and am pretty happy with it so far except one issue. My GPS is not so accurate. I live in India and that too in a different city from my home town. I use GPS quite a lot to get around. Earlier while I was using the AOKP JB rom from Task650 it used to do a fantastic job with GPS here in India. In fact, I'am facing this issue with all the KK ROMs I've tried so far and that include AoCP, OMNI, and CM11. Sometimes it locks and guide me pretty well. but, often when I change the route, it does not recalculate the route immediately. Fails to identify my current location accurately. It shows my current position couple of blocks away from where I am. I tried the "GPS Status & Toolbox" app as well. The situation is not very different then either.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I'm not sure. Have you messed with the GPS settings in STweaks? I would look there to see if you can make any relevant changes. If those do not help let me know.

Stuck on bootloop

I just did a complete wipe, formated system and tried installing a different JB ROM. while in the middle of installation the phone restarted automatically without finishing the installation and got stuck in the samsung logo. I switched the phone off, pulled the battery.. put it back in and tried to get into recovery.. still stuck on samsung logo.. if I turn it on without pulling battery, it boot loops...

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Sounds like you are on the wrong recovery if you were on this ROM and going back to jb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
I was on CWM 6.0.4.5. I was flashing AOKP JB rom which was on CWM 6.0.4.4. Is that a problem?

Anyhow, I'm not able to get into recovery mode at all.. what else could be done? any thoughts...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Reinstall your recovery through Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
A sigh of relief here.. Was able to get into recovery after pulling the battery and keeping it aside for more than 30 minutes.. Just restored from a KK nandroid backup.. a great relief indeed...

So, if I need to install a JB rom now, do I still need to flash an older version of CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Yes, but you don't have to install recovery separate; just install one of our JB kernels and it will have the correct recovery built-in.

I have been doing work on my new Moto G kernel but I will continue to build for the i777 since I love you guyses. But this means i will be relying on yall to let me know if there is an issue.

I was checking out OmniRom and I'm looking to come over to this one instead so I'll just wait it out until the new build is completed.

Looking forward to it. :)

Edit: Nevermind. Got the 2/25 build and installed it fine using TWRP. Just one little bug and I'm not sure if was the launcher I use or not. I loaded Nova Launcher and when it tried to import from Trebuchet it failed. It gets root privilages but never imports anything over and I ended up with an empty launcher screen. I fixed it up myself but I didn't know if root itself caused the issue or if it is a bug. Tried it with SuperSU as well.

Help on LCD Density

Hi,

Thank your for this stunning ROM. I recently flashed the Build 20140224 and I am having problem in changing the LCD density. Till today, I was the first build 20131223, it was allowed me to change the LCD Density down 180 dpi. But this build does not change the LCD density. I tried with ROM Toolbox lite and then manualy editing the build_prop to change the density to 180 dpi. But, after restarting the phone, the changes were ignored and reset it to 240 dpi. Anyone encountered this problem...Please drop me a line of Help.....:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Try downloading Xposed framework / App settings module, works better than the old built-in LCD changer ever did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] saravanan_ganesan:
Hello Steve,

As per your guidance, I installed Xposed Framework / App settings module; installations went off fine. I followed the guide lines in the given OP and installed and configured the module as well. I tried to change the System UI with the values 170 dpi and chose the resolution was screen dp 800x1280, saved and reboot then. But no luck, it did not change the Screen Resolution :(

I tried the same settings in Advanced Display app as well, but still no luck :(

Please advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
You cannot set the dpi lower than 180 on our device, or you'll run into a lot of issues, as most apps won't run well (or at all). The Xposed framework works perfectly - I've used it since time began - so there must be something you're forgetting in the setup, like making sure you have the module checked off in the framework settings. You don't need to touch the screen dp line (leave it on default); all you have to do is type in the dpi you want, save then reboot.

And because we don't want to clutter this thread with off-topic stuff, if you continue to have problems start a new thread in Q&A and we can take it from there.
