I know what you mean. You're feeling overwhelmed because you assumed it would be a little easier and kind of a cut / paste thing. I think you should stick with it, but start a little slower. I would install Ljnux Mint as a dual boot with your windows (I'm assuming you're running windows along side your current distro?) I build (or attempt to haha) and have had a lot of luck with Linux Mint. But then just learn all about shell , bash, and how they communicate with the kernel. Start slow and have fun. Then once you've got some of that and terminal commands under you're belt come back to this and start fresh . It's fun :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I have to agree. It can be a pain. I havent done anything in Linux Mint before. Currently I use Ubuntu with different desktop environments such as LXDE. I usually work from my linux box remotely and it works very efficiently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Mint is supposedly a good distro to transition from windows to Linux (I haven't used it, but that's their what they are known for).

Personally I actually use plain Ubuntu on my netbook (my only computer for now) with unity as my desktop environment. It's fairly easy, but I can understand getting stuck places. My first dabble into Linux was in middle school I actually was given a 7 CD install kit for mandrake Linux (now renamed mandriva I think) and it was a total nightmare. I reformatted about 10 times is 5 days.

My advice is if you want to use Linux, stick with a Debian based distro (Ubuntu or mint for example) and gnome-like desktop environment (avoid KDE for now). I have heard pacman is easier than apt (apt is what Debian uses) but I haven't tried it. And it seems like the majority of tutorials for understanding things about Linux are written with Ubuntu in mind.

Also remember nobody here is expecting anything from anyone (except render. I expect him to have a cure for cancer by this weekend) so like others are saying, take your time and don't feel like you're letting anyone down. You're learning.

I couldn't have made the builds I made or written the tutorial if I hadn't been copy/pasting almost all the good stuff from cm wiki and saw the few extra commands and edits here to get it working.

O I'll never just give up but trying to bring me up to speed is only going to slow you guys down I'm a flashaholic and I'm getting my itch so I don't think it would be a good idea for me to Build a stock like ROM when I want more than stock lol and render is doing a good job also I think right now its not as practical its almost tax time and I super want a s4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
On a side note I would not get a S4. They are super locked down so please save yourself the headache. Get a N5 or Motorola. Hell I am evening thinking about getting the Moto G for $180. I am just letting you know since you are a fellow flashaholic and you will be severely limited in what you can do with a S4. Before you by please research the model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
Ya I was lucky to randomly pick this phone and then find xda but now I have an acct here lol so everyone I know I'm pointing here like go see if your phone is cool.. But ya if the s4 was out ta my price range I was going to look into the n5 but ya I'll totally do my research before I buy .. I got lucky on picking my first smart phone this s2 has more than exceeded my expectations on how cool this phone really is..

I'll look in to the moto G too any other suggestions I think I'll have about 500ish to spend

I'm going with an lg g2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Yeah, I will soon be leaving this phone for the lg g2. To be honest, I am glad I am moving on. This phone was l has been nothing but trouble for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
And I will be left alone with the i777 til I can afford a new phone. I will probably keep this til it breaks. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
The moto x is good too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datboy143:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msprag13:
I wiped my phone completely and Reflashed this ROM and the Render kernel with ART enabled instead of dalvik and so far everything seems to be running and smoothly at that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
That is not bad battery life. It is just not what I am aiming for.

There are days I miss my Atrix....loved that phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I will be running a new build this weekend. Just thought I would let everyone know. There will not be any drastic changes as I am setting up my rom source at the same time so others can see what exactly I am changing to add features. I have also been doing some kernel work and I really like whats coming down the pipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
Hellya... I cant wait im itching lol... I think I'm gonna go with the N5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
unfortunately, camera has stopped

Just installed this today. Was working fine. In the camera setting while I was switching to the front camera I got this message "unfortunately camera has stopped". After that it is returning the same message every time I tried to open the camera app. It is not opening the app at all.

Edit: I just cleared the data and restarted the app. It is now working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
To avoid this in the future, do not try to switch to the front facing camera while in video mode. Be sure you're in camera mode. Also, don't switch to video mode while the front camera is on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
Good to know that. Is this still a bug in CM11 or is it specific to our i777?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I'm not sure. I don't remember if this was something I fixed in earlier builds or not. I don't remember if video recording in general was messed up before or just the front camera issue you have just experienced. Maybe someone will remember and share with us. If it was fixed before then I can fix it again. Thank you for sharing though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
I've never noticed it before I do video calls but not much recording

But I do have the same results when recording now after you pointed it out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
It's very easy to check. Turn on camera. Select video recording. Turn on front camera.

I'd really like to know if it's just my phone or an honest bug. I'm starting to wonder since David 7262 and i seem to be the only ones to experience it

Edit: oh yeah! Forgot to mention, if you can't get it to open afterward, open the camera through a text message by selecting attach image/capture image. That's how i did it

Edit2: it is the same for me on aocp 7 with renderbroken cm 11 too. Crashola in front camera video

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Same results as in crashes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
Same here crash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Allow me to add to the intrigue... no crash for me, and I've tested on Omni 1/16 and a few 9100 ports.

Edit: Need to give more detail - I've used Renders' TWRP kernels for these, and two of the ports were based on Omni, 1 was AOKP.

No crashes anywhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
and to add its crashing on both of my phones on the latest build and kernel i would like to know if it crashes on [MENTION=3386399]iXNyNe[/MENTION] build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
a few pages back someone posted a build on 1-11 (either cuz they knew how or cuz they followed the tutorial i posted) that's the build i was running but i was using render's 1-9 twrp kernel (i've kinda fallen in love with twrp over cwm)

i was having various issues so i switched to omni

not sure if the issues were cm specific or issue with render's kernel - theres things i like about both omni and cm so ill probably swap back and forth a lot. im going to have to get my machine synced to build omni now too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I can confirm that it is crashing on my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geicogecko:
So I'm assuming there will not be an official CM11 for our device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Apparently not. They have been stuck on 10.2 nightless for almost 4 months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I was think they would eventually get an official nightly out for the i777. Its too easy now now to. All of the kinks have already been ironed out. Especially if they have an official OMNIrom nightly out. They are essentially based of of CM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geicogecko:
So even if I have CM 10.2 installed already, I must do a factory reset and data wipe? It sucks reinstalling all those apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plaseo:
You must full wipe coming from 10.2 yes. It doesn't take terribly long to redownload your apps and the phone feels all fresh, clean and almost like a new device. :)

Yes its possible. If you can get me the commit for it that would be the best way. Apparently RootBox has this feature so take a look at their github. This is a suggestions and not an order btw. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geicogecko:
So no trebuchet on this? Any way to add it? I'm realizing that I actually liked a lot of the features.

There has been a rather important update to superSU that addresses the problem with root on kit kat. Need to rerun it after it updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
What happened why did it get so quiet around here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Not sure. Probably the lack of a new rom. :( lol I am working on implementing some new changes and having the ability to push back to github. SO I am replacing the CM projects with my own and there is a bit more setup involved over the kernel work. I am currently working on my new rom and should have something soon. once thing of note is I will be working to replace CM's Quick Settings with AOSPA's. This way you can have more customization like having 4 columns instead of just 3. ETC. I am excited! Also I am taking notes on the process to add to the tutorial. This way I can show people how to build a rom of their own flavor. Also I a working on setting up a way for people to submit commits to me without using Gerrit. It would be nice to see someone do the work of merging a project and submit the commit to a "Test" branch on my project. I can then review the commit and merge if needed. I want to start a fire of creativity. I would like people to learn to Dev using the i777,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
well i got your back on the visual aspect of the creativeness im here if you ever need any type graphical flavor, i think that seems to be my area i think i got a good grasp on photoshop this goes to all as well if you need any help or opinion... etc. etc..... let me know im always glad to help out any way i can
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msprag13:
Do I have to be able to code? I have not played with Linux in years but I used to all the time. I have set up customized boxes compiling kernels and programs from source. I have setup mail, Web, ftp, NAS etc before. I have used redhat, suse, mandrake, debian, gentoo, SCO and others. Do I have enough experience to make a ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geicogecko:
I've noticed two bugs, not sure if they have been posted.

1. When setting a ringtone for native alarm app, no ringtone can be selected, making the alarm silent.

2. BBS is reporting no deep sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Man, thanks as always!

Good news is Linux base (such as terminal and such) has not changed very much. So Debian is the main distro people use. If you can maneuver around with that then you can learn the rest. The first thing you need to learn is github and git. If you can get an understanding of those then you can BS you way around til you get the hang of it. I would start with kernel work. Its only about 500MBs in size omapre the Rom source with is about 20Gbs. If you screw up your source you just redownload it from Github.

Thanks for pointing this out. Thats really weird though since I use the alarm every night and it works for me. Can you reinstall the Rom if its not too much of a big deal? Also I will look into the Deep Sleep issue. I get great battery life. Are you using my custom kernel or the stock one with the Rom? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Running new build. This one will be the first with real custom features. Right now I am drawing inspiration from AOSPAL. Namely Lockscreen Notifications and QuickSettings 3.0. I am excited about the two. I will keep building from here. Thanks Guys.

Render
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geicogecko:
I'm using the stock kernel. Edit: Solved it. There were no sound files in the Alarms folder. I didn't realize it pulled sounds out of there.

Another issue I've noticed is that I cannot use inverse view on the browser.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bondlolo:
Hey Render, I recognized and appreciate all you hard work.

I would like to make a suggestion. Would like to see the list view animation and listview interpolator. It is a really nice feature, I'm using it at PA Beta 3 for the i9100 with your CM kernel.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
You can install Xposed framework and download xui mod. It gives this feature plus many others including some sick animations.

Alright, I've had this problem for a long time, and not just in this ROM, but as far back as CM10. Sometimes the wrong ringtone will play for a contact. I use the ringtones to identify who's calling if my phone isn't on me, so it's annoying to pick it up and see someone else that I didn't expect. Is there any way to fix this?

I finally have a good internet connection at home! And I've got remote ssh tunneled through my router lol. I don't know how to have a task that I start from my phone continue after I close the session though.

Edit: I'm building a freshly synced stock cm11 nightly. Nothing special like what render is working on. I'll upload once it's done. Luckily I have teamviewer setup now so I should be able to remotely trigger builds now. Still haven't automated it, but I'll get there.

P.s. I've been running omni for the past few weeks, I'm building this more for fun (and because it seems like people here are interested). Omni already gets official i777 nightly builds, but I'm going to make my own build anyway. And then I'm going to try and port omni to the vs980 (Verizon lg g2) and once I have the d800 (att lg g2) I'll port that too. I'm probably keeping my i777 but I'll give it to my son (2yrs old) as more of a toy than anything, thus I'll still build for i777 just to have a device for me to learn on.

This is CyanogenMod. You dont get it merged with P.A.C. and you get Clockwork Recovery. That's how it is. Its how its ALWAYS been.

If you want TWRP wait until someone makes a third party kernel and go install it on your own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaysix79:
If you were following render he mentioned implementing other feature from other ROM. And PAC was just a suggestion and I like how you can change the DPI and have aosp and cm together. And for twrp my wife has galaxy 3 with stock cm10. Comes with twrp and the same for nexus 7 comes with twrp on stock cm10 and cm11. Plus I don't think render is sticking with stock cm kernel alway. like he said he will modify it like aj's kernel.

Sorry but "stock" CM doesn't come with any recovery other then CWM. If your wives phone has TWRP then its not stock CM by any means.

If Render decides to bring features from another ROM that's his choice and more power to him, but this ROM will no longer be official or even an unofficial version of CM. It will be a port and won't get any official support other then from Render himself..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
