That is quite possibly the most disrespectful thing I've ever heard asked of an op. Why don't you go port and tweak your own ROM and then you can have updates at a speed that's more acceptable for you

Sorry guys it's just that it seemed to me we started talking about building a different rom or something so I lost interest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Originally render was building cm11 nightly builds and intending on adding new features later. Some of his time went to building a custom kernel to work with cm11 and omni. Render has posted that he's made some kind of progress in learning to do some new things, but hasn't posted a ROM in a little while. In the meantime he has helped others like me figure out how to build cm11 and I posted a tutorial that you can follow (op #3) to build your own cm11 ROM. Also I've taken the task of building and uploading nightly releases of cm11 (link in my Sig). Since the releases I'm posting are pure cm11 and none of renders goodies, it's still worth checking in on his progress, but in the meantime you'll have plenty to flash (every day! Just like real official nightly builds!) By following the link in my Sig to my drop box.

P.s. it's not even the kind of link that gets me extra space on drop box when you sign up as a referral, it's just downloads, so I benefit nothing from it other than I'm proud of myself for accomplishing it.

So thank you for your interest in participating in this thread, but please do take some time to read the thread and the conversations and progress before criticizing lack of activity (when there is clearly plenty).

hey iXNyNe I just tried your 2-17 and trebuchet worked for me.

thanks for bringing more builds .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I noticed that on 2/16, and it looks like they removed launcher3 from system apps (no need for it if trebuchet works)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Its taking so long so I decided that I will build another nightly build with my custom linaro toolchain. This way we can have a CM11 Rom built just for the i777 and not just ported. Should still be leaps and bounds faster than stock. Especially since CM have released MR3. I just wanted people to know what's up. Sorry I have just been so busy. Thanks Guys!

I ordered a new battery and a spare battery cuz my old one died completely. Maybe the bad battery life on KitKat was a battery problem, because after doing the battery-bulge test, the result was that it easily spun on the table, showing that it was bad. I can't wait to try the latest build of CM11 from you Render when my battery comes in. Keep up the good work man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Guys I have a little bit of bad news. I got tired of not having enough battery to last the day and other minor annoyances. I bought a Moto G last night since it was only $200 for the 16GB model and its unlocked. I am very excited about this new phone and what Motorola was able to do with it and the price point its at.Its perfect for my work and it benchmarks at about 17K on Antutu which is about the same as the N4. For the money you cant beat it. My wife will be taking over my S2. I will continue to Dev for the i777 Like I have been. What I may do now though is support 2 devices and see how it goes. This has been an amazing community as of late and I dont want to leave it. But if you have a little money squared away for a new phone check out the Moto G and all it offers. Just though I would let everyone know. I may hand over thread responsibility if someone wants it. At this point who knows. Main thing is I am not leaving.

Kind Regards,

Render
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Yeah, the Moto G is the best value for the money right now. I am happy you have it. I would get the Moto G myself, but I want my first 1080p smartphone so I went for the LG G2 since I have some $. I am glad you won't be leaving cuz I still have the S2 for a few months and can't wait for your next build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
You've been killing it bro as evidenced by this old phone still running like an absolute boss. Wish you got a note 2(i just did haha) but I'll still be rocking the i777 because I just love it but this note is A BEAST
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Good choice. Hopefully it works for you. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
Well I managed to flash it using azeem's method of flashing Shostock3 first to get past the status 7 error. I flashed it last night and so far I love it :)

It's great so far with only 2 issues, and both have to do with the SD card:

1. Some apps on the SD card take forever to show up in the app drawer. It took a few minutes after everything else finished starting.

2. Because a majority of my apps are on my SD card I lost nearly all my shortcuts on my home screen. I set it all up how I liked and because I installed so much I decided to reboot. When it started up again I had maybe half my icons on the home screen.

Is there a fix/solution for this right now or is it just a bug and I'll have to wait for future builds? I love it so far tho great work! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I would make sure the SD Card is even working properly. That doesn't sound right. You may even copy all of the files off then reformat or chkdsk /r /f it. If you format it you just copy the files right back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
Ok I'll try that tonight when I get home. This sd card's been through a lot of flashing so it's possible that's something's wrong with it or at least mixed up.

So just to make sure neither of my problems are normal? Cuz I know the official stock rom would take a little bit to load all the apps off the sd card but it would at least save the shortcuts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
part too has happened to me many times as far as i know no fix maybe u did a dirty flash or skipped a step or wipe etc... and i may be wrong but i think some one said its a cm known issue dont quote me tho

and also i have noticed once and awhile after playstore updates for a app the home-screen shortcut disappears

if you read along you would see these various issues/bugs this is a thread is about learning

and also second boot takes longer than normal...dont drin your battery ... etc etc

i have a 32gb sdhc card invest in some space maybe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
Well I did a full wipe so I can rule that out. So I figure its either my card or just that it's cm cuz no matter how great it is it's probly close to impossible to make it 100% perfect. Plus I just installed it last night so I haven't even tested it for a full day yet...after a few days and more reboots it may fix itself. I know I had this same problem when using nova launcher and that eventually worked itself out and I stopped losing icons. So I'll just reformat my card and keep testing and see what happens :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Thanks for your input. AS far as i knew this was the first time I had heard of this.

Definitely weird. It wouldnt hurt to try those steps though. So what launcher are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
I'm just using the stock launcher. If it comes to it I can just switch to Nova but this is almost a completely new version to what I had before so I kinda wanted to give the stock launcher a shot before jumping to Nova lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
I loose some of my home screen short cuts on reboot happens on all kit kat ROMs for this phone I've just learned to live with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
Yea I would mind having to replace a few shortcuts when I start it up but I lost so many I haven't bothered putting them back yet lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I don't have this issue on nova. Which "stock" launcher are you using?

Launcher3? (Aosp stock)

Google Now Launcher? (Google stock included in many gapps)

Trebuchet? (Cm stock in nightly builds since roughly 2/16)

Has anyone confirmed this issue exists on more than just one of the above? (Like is it an issue on GNow and Launcher3?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
Oh sorry I meant launcher3. I said stock cuz that's what the ROM came with.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Razen is right, I love it myself but got rid of it for that reason. Great launcher otherwise. I use the extended battery anyway and I consistently get over 20 hours with either tons of screen time or voice calls or both. I personally recommend it to anyone using the Galaxy s2 because otherwise the battery life although can be tweaked to be more efficient just is very lacking in my opinion. My new phone is WAY more powerful and way bigger yet with the stock battery lasts more than a day
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eric Karz:
I was looking on that thread because I am to with battery fast drain

only thing I see for kitkat is "google now " the rest look like they are for JBean and the nova launcher is Nova Launcher 2.3v1 (02/12) < -- is that the one you used on ST G2 ? also if yes were you able to see a difference in battery life?

TIA.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

something I was thinking about

I see that I have a few APN that I know I cant and will never use.

my questions are

has any one ever deleted them all?

can unused APN eat battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
APN don't use any battery life. It's just a set of inductions your phone *can* use in certain circumstances.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eric Karz:
I am testing it anyways lol

yesterday I turned off locations and all sync accept(sound seach/appdata)

turned off wifi

turned off ATT&t (data?)/still can use phone

use Bluetooth playing Richie kotzen /sideloaded offext sd card/

Got a tiny bit past 4 hours before 1% shut the phone off

today I have the same thing but I deleted all the apns accept the one I have to use

and trebuchet launcher

as of now I am at 73% battery and 2:35:40 run time

the big test comes at 50% coz thats when I saw it drop from 50 to 17%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
If your battery drops that quickly it might be bad. Mine was and I didn't realize it until I got a new one. I recommend the extended battery in any case. Made this phone fun to use again because I didn't always have to have a charger or worry about it going dead when I really needed it

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

With newest rom and kernel and using zzmoove governor I get 7 days in stand by with regular battery. Pretty impressive, just sayin lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I have similar battery issue

Getting fully charged takes a pretty long time while screen is off, and it's completely impossible while screen is on.

As soon as I unplug I drop to 99%, once I hit 50% it speeds down to 20% with little to no use, and then it seems to stretch out that last 20% a bit.

I'm using the stock battery that came with the phone, so either the battery is just going out or something about kit Kat causes way more battery drain than jellybean did. My wife's lg g2 hasn't been plugged in since yesterday (more than 16 hours that I can recall) and she's around 20% battery now as I'm posting. She's on kit Kat cm11 with the same gapps as me and she uses her phone more than I do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
See I experienced the exact same issues and a new battery set me straight. Not saying that's it for sure but I paid $11 for the extended and a new back so it's worth a shot. I literally had the same problems tho. Very frustrating when the battery is on constant depletion mode. Totally worth it in my opinion. Standard battery just doesn't last. New one would help tho, I think it's toast lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
Well my phone died last night and after starting it up this morning my SD card loaded much much faster this time. However icons were missing again :( I'm gonna try Nova and Google Now to see if either of those give the same results or fix the issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eric Karz:
SO it seems that doing both of those changes (launcher and remove all apn accept the one you use) almost doubles the battey life , well it did in my case. I ran none stop music over Bluetooth (had to switch head set coz batter<-lol/ died ) I got a picture of 36% because I have never see 36% since I had the phone .

on the right is just a few seconds before auto turned off .

4 to almost 8 hours crazy right ?

2-20 to 2-21 leave phone over night test (1 change turned off wifi)- 12 hours and the phone had 94 % (another first for me)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squiglybob13:
I tried both Nova and Google Now and neither had this problem. Both of them kept all icons on reboot but launcher3 still had issues. So I solved it by switching launchers but I still don't know what was the problem in the first place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Well cm team removed launcher3 and replaced it with trebuchet in their newer nightly builds (see my Sig) so it shouldn't be an issue for anyone on a newer build.

Dude, I do agree with the Bluetooth headset issue. we can answer the call however if we are in long call like more than 10 minutes, the screen went to sleep mode, but we could not awake the screen by lock/power button, the phone hangs for no reason.

4.4.2.

Yea its quite refreshing. I was worried when it only came with 1GB of ram but since it has a much more powerful CPU (Snapdragon 400 Quad core) I am using a more aggressive ZRAM setting. So in the end I should have about 1.35GBs of ram theoretically. It flies at anything I throw at it. Its the first new phone I had bought in years and its completely worth it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
With my second job, we deal in Lenovo products. (Servers, desktops, laptops, etc) I have to say that they are some of the more durable products on the market and that's not just because I sell them to out clients. I have been really impressed with their products so I hope they continue to let Motorola continue in their current Dev friendly direction. My Moto G is setup like my Nexus 7 2012/2013. They have a boot loader and a recovery separate from the kernel. So I was able to use Fastboot to just blast a custom recovery on my new phone and from there I just flashed a new rom. Bam! now rooted and fully functional using straight talk.
