I know I've seen this issue in previous versions of CM,, but the volumes ( ringtone and notification) are linked again even after selecting not to have them linked. Just thought I'd report.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] badblood_antony:
issues i found r :

1. no matter what u set the dpi to it will reset back to 240 after reboot..

2. advance reboot menu gets disabled just when u go back from developers options..

3. the one stated a post befor by phlanx...ringtone and notification liked even when it shows not linked...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I just took a look as well and found that it was the same or me but the actual reboot menu stayed as if the advanced reboot option were checked. I will look into these. Thanks Guys, hope yall enjoy. I am working on some Kernel Optimizations today. Also I am uploading another rom right now that should also fix the Video Recording among other things merged from yesterday.

Is it to much to ask about having The TWRP recovery. It just so easy to to use. Other than that this ROM is awesome battery life is good so far for me

P.A.C 4.3 ALPHA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] badblood_antony:
i tried using the slimkat from i9100 thread...all was fine...but the captive touch buttons dont work as usual

so i changed the key files...but still it dint work...then i changed the boot.img file from the slimkat zip to the one from this rom...then the rom itself wont boot...any ideas what can be dont or where i can find the 4.4 compatible kernel...???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Man I am not sure, The issue with using my boot.img in their rom may be that the rom is expecting the updated Mali Drivers and I dont have them, yet. . . Also you will not find another 4.4 kernel right now other than Omni's.

Also I have the new build posted!

no probs...jus downloading the latest build...will revert back in half hour..newayz m still trying to get the dpi under 180...hope this fixes it...tried all possible ways to get it working at 180 dpi...still unsucessful...:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
The DPI bug is really weird. I will look into it to see what can be done. I used to change mine but later started to use Nova launcher and changing the font and icon sizes to be smaller. I know that this is no consolation though

How is everyone's battery life on this ROM? For me, it is not good. 12 minutes and my battery is at 92% from 100%. All I have done is web browsing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Have you flashed the new build? just curious if it fixed the video recording. My battery life has been good. Also I am building with Linaro right now so that may help and afterwards I will be customizing the Kernel to add different governors and IO schedulers. I will just keep gradually building up to a more optimized CM11.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Idk what's always happening. I get bad battery life on both OMNI ROM and this ROM. Could it be my phone that doesn't like anything but stock 4.1.2? Cuz even on 4.2 and 4.3, I get bad battery life. I tried AJK's kernel and everyone gets good battery life on it, except me..

EDIT: Well... After the update, same thing happened as before; the homescreen wouldn't show up after initial set up and systemui crashed. Unfortunately, I will have to go back to OMNI ROM for the time being. It is nothing personal. I am the only one having trouble, so I might as well save you all the trouble of my complaints and go back to OMNI. Good job on this ROM man. For the time that it worked for me, it was awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atvspecialties:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Sorry to hear, I wont take it personally. Hopefully you give it another go soon.

Thanks for reporting. I will continue to look into this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Lol, luck is finally on my side again. The ROM booted. I just had to install GApps AFTER booting into the ROM and setting everything up. I will test battery life throughout the day and report it back to you. Since my phone is at 66%, it can't be a 100% to 10% report, but I will use BBS to average the battery drain per hr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Ok so the first Linaro build is running off now. Both the rom and kernel will be built with linaro 4.7.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
What exactly is Linaro?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Just a different more optimized compiler. You should notice an increase in snappiness and battery life, etc.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
In uploading to drop box now (best I can do from my phone at the moment). I'll post here in roughly 30 minutes :D

My next goal will be full documentation of what got me here (start to finish).

After that I know there was a commit in 10.2 that fixed the automatic time zone setting issue. I'd like to figure out how to port that forward. In my builds and then how to put it on cm gerrit (crediting the op of course).

After that I want to learn to look at logs a about when things go wrong and what to look for in the code. (And gerrit those as needed)

And finally I'd like to learn to port in features from other ROMs just for fun (to try out, not submit to cm though unless I make something myself)

That's my game plan

Edit:

Upload failed, will try later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Thats very good. I love to see someone motivated. I would love to have whatever you write up posting in OP#3 and I would give full credit. If we (Devs - and I am not some super dev lol) can show the process and show the workflow that it takes to come out with a finished product then we will have a community that is just as alive as the i9100. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I would be happy to help. I learned this the hard way. There is still so much more I can learn too. Once I have a solid build tutorial, I will then go into how to port features over. How to maintain your own source. etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Also I am uploading my new build right now and should be done soon. This is just nightly build. The next build I will start adding character. While working on the next build I will start writing the instructions on porting features. The hardest part about modifying code is doing something that is different from your manifest file. Every time you repo sync your changes will be discarded. So to keep your changes there are numerous things you can do. One is cd to the directory and then create a new branch. Then Cherry-pick/pull to that branch. Once done you will need to merge. If you want your changes to stay and for repo sync to not error out you will then need to modify the manifest file and comment out the project you just modified. You can then maintain your own project AND push your changes to github. This way others can see what your doing.

Really I will would like to have a rolling document that others can make changes on. So I will most likely create a document in Google Drive and share it out. This way we also get revisions and see who commented on what and also submit changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
I'll be the average Joe if I can do it then everyone else should be able to.. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
NEW build 7 posted! This is the smoothest so far! Also there are some cool new features that you need to take a look at. One namely being the

double tap the status bar to sleep.

The best part about this is it doesn't take up more battery and processor because its not looking for a touch event everywhere. Its looking for the status bar to be activate. Much more efficient but its a little hard at first to do it smoothly.

Check it out guys and report back. Also it will come with the stock CM11 Kernel but I have built it using Sabermod 4.7 and -O3 flags so it still flies as well. I believe I found the problem with my new custom kernel not booting so I will test it and get back to yall.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
Go to mr cooks 959g thread and get cwm 6.0.4.4 recovery then after that you can switch to KitKat and also to twrp and yes what is in my signature is what I am using now

I think now u can get 6.0.4.5 but when I did it I had to use 6.0.4.4 because the newer one wasn't out yet u can try 6.0.4.5 I'm sure it would work

So basically u need to update your recovery

Their is small buggs but its getting better each build .. Most of the time its a gapps error not the actual rom

Custom kernel not in b7?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
No, it's just a stock cm nightly. Render's next build will include goodies. I will likely keep building stock cm for those interested. (And I'll actually get them uploaded)

BTW on the stock build I made (and probably render's as well) everything works except automatic time zone. Render's kernel will likely bring stweaks and other stuff.

Me again ..lol

I have twrp inastalled w/ Rbroken kit-kat installed

Before I try to update to the 1-8-2014 build

1) can I use twrp to install it

2) do I need to wipe cache or dal-cache ?

TIA

+info cheapcast is working great on on 12-23 build

My Mistake it does say to wipe....in the op

but still not sure about using twrp to install

Let me explain ... I have nook HD+ and if I were to install over the existing build it would keep things the same ... like Bluetooth . after a wipe and a install the results are different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Holy Crap! Right on the money. The ONLY thing that is different is since we added TheMuppets repo we already have ALL Samsung blobs. But its good to have that in there anyways incase or hopefully when CM starts to build official nightlies. (Since you need to be running a CM rom the same version you are building for)

Man thats awesome. It might be be better to just post it to OP#3 and people can submit changes via PM. IfI do a GDoc then they would have to go to a link to see it. IDK, what do you think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Sure you can use TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:

Boot from the Ubuntu live DVD. Identify the partition with your home. Mount home in /mnt

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Well, here is my feedback. This ROM is a great performer. Very fast, very fluid. I would love to use it more, but it heated up my phone so bad (50 C) and switching back to my daily driver, it is now at 35 C. It drained my battery so badly (from 38 to 24 on idle in 10 minutes). Idk what it is, but my phone doesn't seem to like KitKat. I guess I am stuck on 4.1 forever on this phone. It is a pitty, because I really love this ROM and KitKat. Great job man, but it is just not for me. Hope you understand. I know I have "complained" before and you're probably tired of hearing it. I hope you keep it up. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
It was both Gmail and the regular email app could not find a setting in them anywhere to make the links hot I went back to a Samsung based rom and everything is fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
hmm idk off the top of my head but i would just say try different gapps to see if it works good .. also just further verify my other s2 after my vid i switched to this ROM and the links are also clickable on that phone i used the aroma with that phone as well i also saved a aroma log if you want to see what i select i forgot to get the log from dismantler tho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Its all good. Maybe we can get down to the problem. Since this happens to you, what would you think about flashing this rom again and use a logcat program or similar to grab a log of whats going on . Then you could copypasta your results and switch back to your DD. If you wanted to do so I am in no hurry. Just thought I would bring it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
I didnt dismantle anything so that wouldn't be it. Maybe I'll try again with the new build tonight later

I had the same problem. It started right after i set up my Google account that i use for the play store. I finally figured out it was Google+ syncing.

This happened to me as well. I was going to give up on this ROM but after wiping everything, none of my nandroids would restore! I ended up restoring this Rom (partition by partition) and lo and behold it is now fine. On the other hand I don't know if I have any usable backups.

It is possible it was media server. I did notice it in my bbs before but not now. I do not have Google+ installed.

I want to point out that this threads view count is about to pass the omni thread ... I've been watching the stat grow and grow for the last 2 weeks and its about time... Hopefully the view count stats indicate this ROM is becoming more and more popular....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I celebrate that this thread (and ROM) is succesfull, but I'm not sure that view/response count is a fair measure of comparison.

-OmniROM is available WITHOUT touching the i777 OmniROM thread

-OmniRom development is NOT as dependent on feedback from that thread

-The i777 Omnirom maintainer is not active in that thread

-That other thread isn't as encouraging about home-building.

therefore, that thread will inherently be quieter.

Comparisons aside, I am massively glad that [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] has taken the time to bring this to us, and with such dedication and enthusiasm. This Thread and firmware are worth the attention that they're getting.

How would regular users find the ROM and read about it then is their other xda type sites ? I'm a noob to xda but haven't seen any sites as in formative as this one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I'm a noob, and I usually don't stray too far from XDA, but I found OMNI for the i777 through OMNI's G+ community. There is also a lot more discussion about omni in xda's "custom rom central". Questions and issues across multiple devices can be handled from a more centralized location.

I should also give credit to Omni's DeltaUpdate system, which makes it so that users aren't returning to one particular thread for updates to the rom, since it occurs directly from the device to OMNI's servers. You're right that a great many will find it at XDA, but the way that OMNI is setup, return visits to update or remain informed, just aren't necessary.

...I also have to credit [MENTION=577081]AJ Newkirk[/MENTION], who was the first that I noticed paying mention to the OMNI project in his SIG (once upon a time). Back when they were only supporting a small handfull of devices.
