I really like reading the development posts although I will probably never do it.

I can't even understand wakelocks but this looks bad...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
ok installed latest build seems to run great as did the previous build. Links in emails are clickable this time, YEA! that was a deal breaker the first time around.

2 suggestions for when you start adding features if possible.

1. add the samsung keyboard I miss the .com button

2. the samsung camera takes better pictures and you can set where to save the pictures to. (external sd)

Render I maybe the only one having this problem but I longpressed home to delete recents and as soon as I pressed to swipe all away. ..my phone went to cyan screen and just kept in a loop. Had to pull battery and went to recovery but unfortunately I could not reboot system. Had to full wipe and go back to 4.1.2. This is with latest build. Happened to me with b6 but I pulled it from my pocket and it was in a loop already. ...idk whats goin on. Maybe the kernel? 12-29 is the common denominator but I cant be too sure. Ima jump back on with 12-23 kernel and see what happens.

I have the walmart ST .

The 1-8 build seems to be working great sofar

tested out tethering from usb and Bluetooth both work (Bluetooth is slower for me). Bluetooth pairing was most easy to set up(that's a new experience lol)

I do feel like my battery goes down to quickly but it did that even before I went on JBrokens kit-kat. I cant test every thing because I have to wait for a new sim card. (long story )

I also want to look for a new battery to have. is there a battery that might be better then the one that came with the phone?

thanks again Render for putting a fine rom out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddiemc12:
all 4.4 roms seem to be battery consuming i even ported a few cm based ones from i9100 thread and worked fine with renders kernel but all were battery draining quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
hes right but idk my battery last me all day i did recently buy a new battery tho i doubt thats it if you think the drain might be too much you could try reflash and also remember after you fisrt install you do need more battery downloading apps and first time setup type stuff i think the battery starts to settle after the first day ..also i know that after 3rd or 4th reboot it also smooths out a little
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
OK well my build succeeded but my computer is being terrible and won't adb to my phone and also won't upload from my computer because my current internet connection is the hotspot from my phone (connection times out).

So long story short I can build, and I can even have a build script do nightlies, but until I can afford to get internet hooked up at home I can't post builds so I'm going to stop mentioning it and getting hopes up until I have a link for people to click.

Back story: I just moved and all the deposits for rent and utilities killed my wallet so I have no funds for internet for a few weeks.

I do strongly encourage others to follow the tutorial I posted a few pages back. I'd like to see how many others can get a build made. If you're successful let us know here in the thread!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
My battery lasts me all day too even with heavy use. It's not really fair to run a ROM/kernel for a day and say "oh this ROM/kernel has high battery consumption". It takes several days and charging cycles to really see what kind of battery life you're going to get. Things got to settle down after being all scrambled up.

That being said, i do have slightly higher battery consumption on kitkat versus jellybean, but not that much. This might be me using it more too. My phone is fun to play with again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
ill try later on today gotta have lunch with grandma.. ill let you know for sure tho i really want to build

if you could break the zips and E-mail them i could upload for you

breaking the zip may help the timeout
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Breaking and re-combining the zips has a higher chance of failure when it comes tpv file integrity (md5 checks and stuff)

It would actually be quicker, easier and safer if you were able to build successfully and upload on your own than for me to try and split zips.

If you follow that tutorial you'll be able to build for sure. You can technically skip the device blobs step (where it says stop and ask for help in the thread if your device isn't detected)

Phase two literally is a build script, all you'd have to do is setup a from for automated nightly builds with that code and maybe add a command to upload it somewhere
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Do this

croot
sudo gedit .repo/local_manifest/roomservice.xml

I'll update the guide for this as well. Originally I forgot about the path (croot) and the sudo (elevated permissions).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
The elevated permission mode should have solved you being able to save. And if you edit roomservice.xml you can skip extracting the files from your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
im not sure what is going on ill try again i wish i knew more about ubuntu ive been reading ... but you said it was copy and pasteable i copied and pasted hit more than one snag..LOL ill keep trying if you want i can include screen shot of gedit and the could not save warning

i also understand that programers just ignore warnings as long as it saves thats what i was trying to do just save and continue but it wont let me

also i have one question do you do everything from your acct or from root like ive tried it both ways and got same results when i open terminal i enter

trevor@trevor-A770E3:~$/usr/bin/sudo /bin/su -
root@trevor-A770E3:~#

i have done it both ways as the root user and as my user acct .. i hope im saying that right .. im sorry im a windows kid lol hey but atleast im learning linux as i go...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
You should not need root permissions to create roomservice.xml

At least I had not needed them and I was not running as root. You really don't want to run anything as root unless specified. It ruins ownership and permissions of files. Sometimes when you create a file as root and a script adjusts the permissions (For whatever reason) that only you can read or write and groups nothing and other nothing. Now if you try to build and that particular file is needed, it will fail because of it. Same goes for running something as sudo. And I am speaking on this from more recent experience. I ran a script as root and it jacked everything and had all the created files owned by root and when you try to run make clean or whatever it cant clean those files.

So two things to note:

Tis is the reason wht when you look at the CM page on how to build for the i777, there is always either a $ or a #. This denote whether you run them as the user or root. In this case its $.

There is a way out though and thats the chown command.

I made some changes to the guide but may need to make more. Right now the i777 is in limbo. We do not have a maintainer for CM. This means that there is now real upkeep for i777 blobs. Luckily with TheMuppets repo thats added to roomservice.xml, after you sync, you will already have the most up to date blobs for all samsung devices. Also if you have them you do not need to ADB anything from your phone. Its already there. The steps I take after running repo sync are:

cd ~/android/system/vendor/cm

./get-prebuilts

cd ~/android/system

source build/envsetup.sh

breakfast i777

export USE_CCACHE=1

croot

brunch i777

Thats it. Also after your done building, if you want to build again, you can just repo sync again and then

croot

brunch i777

The only part above that isn't right is:

Pulling device specific files...

error: protocol fault (no status)

error: device not found

error: device not found

error: device not found

error: device not found
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Also in Linux EVERYTHING is literal. So when they say:

cd android/system/whatever

You need to have the folder android, then system.

So you need to make sure that you can first cd to

cd android/system/.repo/local_manifests (Notice the period)

Once there you can

gedit roomservice.xml

Im not just saying this to you but to everyone wanting to build. Like since I do more work in android I have my CM11 source here:

android/source/cm

This way I can add other projects inside the "source" folder and it makes more logical sense. But since this is the case I just have to know that

android/system

and

android/source/cm

are the same. It just depends on where you ran

repo sync

I think Razen_Kain is right on the money

.In the past i have flashed 2 or 3 diffrent roms a day ( flashflashaholic) On this last build I was having some battery issues. overheating and fast drains( google keyboard downloaded 1.4 Gig in the back round) did factory reset and I have let it settle down.

I have not flashed any thing for days(rooted room mates phone to get my Fix)) I used Rom tool box to stop a few services, Used TB to Remove Hangouts and disabled G+. this stopped my big wakelocks also used greenifi to hibernate any playstore games and apps that are backround battery suckers, Battery life is now excellent I go all day heavy user. I did a little tweaking and I am up to 13079 antu benchmark running real stable. Mr. RenderBroken this is a great Rom and Kernel combination And thanks to the community for making this possible.

can you use the option to record a video woth front cam ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
No. You (at least for me on this ROM) you can not use video at all with the front camera. You can't turn the video on with the front camera on and you can't switch to front camera from back camera if it's in video mode. It will force close. I posted something about this a while back.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
So this is one of those things that really perplexed me at first too. Logically I attribute Cherry-picking to just pulling a copy of those commits locally. But with Git you have to realize there are revisions. And not only just going back a few points but to go back to a specific commit. You are missing the git fetch command. So for example:

If there is something from a certain remote repo that I like, I have to first fetch the repo. What this does is kinda pull in the remote repo's file system (Not the files though. More just the place holders)

So lets say you want something from my kernel repo, first you need to fetch my repo like:

git fetch https://github.com/RenderBroken/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

This will allow you to cherry pick ANYTHING from that point in time back.

So after fetching that remote repo (Project) then:

git cherry-pick SHA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] royahaun:
Not a problem I am sorta on information overload on this subject once i started researching I found so much information lots over my head goggled alot of words. there are threads on about every app available, pointing out all the recivers that can be shutdown,lots of apks already cleaned up or instructions on how to do it. Wakelocks get pretty in depth by some of the powerhouse kernel Devs Lots of mystery ones. Anyway I love this stuff. Not to show my age but when when I learned basic binary and hex We were inputting code using toggle switches and punch cards what a glorious day day when all we had to do was load 3/4 inch magnetic tapes and Apples were for eating. Thanks again every one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
That makes sense, but now I'm confused as to where [git remote add] comes into play? It sounds like that and [git fetch] are doing the same thing?

*frustrated that I keep tripping over my weak understanding of GIT and the processes there-involved*

I need to spend more time with google and Git and... There are some super fundamental aspects about the overall process that I'm missing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
So Lets say you have a local repo (Project) and you want to make changes to it and push those changes to Github. For Example, lets say you want to do kernel work too and you want to use mine as a base.

https://github.com/RenderBroken/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

First you would need to fork my repo in Github. Just google that, its really easy. Once your done you will now have:

https://github.com/cyril279/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

So then you will need to download the repo locally:

git clone https://github.com/cyril279/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

Then change into that directory with the cd command

Now lets say you want to pull changes from my project into your pretty often. Each time you want to Cherry-pick changes you would need to run

git fetch https://github.com/RenderBroken/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

Then you can Cherry-pick any commit up to that point in time you ran the Git Fetch command.

To make things easier you could just add my remote repo (Project) and create something like a bookmark. To do that you use the git remote add command. So like this:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/RenderBroken/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

*Take note that you can name the remote whatever. I named mine "upstream". So now when you want to fetch my project you can just run:

git fetch upstream

This just makes things more easier to work with and understand. Also Git Fetch and Git Pull are similar but way different as well.

Git Fetch kinda stages the changes and makes them ready to be merged.

Git Pull just starts merging the changes. So if you dont want to have to use "git reset" then I would be careful with Git Pull.
