Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 SABERMOD 4.8 Toolchain​

What we have here is going a Custom ROM derived from CM11 built with Sabermod toolchain. This ROM is loaded with features and I will update the OP with screens and details at a point not to far from now. CLEAN install is recommended for your first time but dirty will be fine after that unless I notify you differently. This ROM includes my SHIFT custom kernel with Stweaks to configure. Stweaks will replace performance control in Settings at some point soon

HOW TO INSTALL

Make sure you are on a KitKat compatible recovery

Download the zip

Download compatible Gapps

WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET

Wipe Cache/Dalvic Cache

Flash the Rom

Flash Gapps

Reboot

Enjoy

Install from my previous build:

Download the ROM

WIPE Cache

WIPE Dalvik Cache

Flash the ROM

Reboot

Current build:10092014

HOWEVER, I HIGHLY recommend using v2 or v3 and version 4 was put out without testing as I had moved to a new device and it has some very annoying bugs, IMO v2 is the best one FOR SURE

Downloads: CyanideMod

Recommended GAPPS: GAPPS

(Others may work but I've only tested these)

Google Camera: Camera

Play Services Update: Play Services

SUPERSU:http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip

Also Entire CyanogenMod Team for making their source open and available to the public. Pretty damn awesome of them if you ask me

DISCLAMER

Your warranty is now void.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

OOPS, can I get a mod to move this to development. Somehow posted in the wrong section. Thanks

4th flash worked like a charm. Can't use as big of a gapps as I can with slim and a FYI slim mini works great and there trds apps work with the dark switch on for dark off for light.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I'll be flashing this first thing in the morning.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Well I was typing a message to you in Tapatalk and got my first random reboot. I was wondering if you're the developer that was mentioning including gapps right into the ROM that's so could you include all of the slim gaps we can always remove the ones we don't want easily it's a lot harder to add them in reason being they switch to a dark theme with your dark switch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Yes that was me. I've been back and forth on whether to do it or not. If I did it would be a minimal package. I'm not sure where to get the slim gapps. The package I have and found on github is for banks or pa but obviously with dark ui slim would be beneficial
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] edwin270:
This is where i always get my slim gapps, that is if not looking for the source. Beta has always worked like a champ for me not forgetting i always go for full gapps.

what's the Google Camera Module pa_googlecamera-module-4.4.4-20140720-signed.zip for? Thanks

Edit: what could be the causes for random reboots? I get it here and there for random reason like restarting Apex Launcher, setting wallpaper, exiting Link2SD, etc... I remember back then someone said that "random" reboot is for the system to get updated to whatever changes made (this is for SlimRoms).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Reboot as in the phone turns completely off and then back on? It's Google camera and the libraries it's needs to work. It has more features but it personal preference. I don't use it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
I had a lot of weird issues for the first couple hours while setting up phone with random reboots and lock screen and stuff but it all seemed to go away after a couple hours let your phone settle
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Used mine all day without a reboot. I've never had random reboot tbh and I play with the s2 all the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wolftou:
Just a soft reboot. I'm up and running on the ROM, will report back if I see anything wrong. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
I did a clean install I noticed that the reboot menu doesn't show the advanced functions. It is checked off, but not showing.

I also had a few reboots, but at the time I was restoring apps using titanium. (just apps and data, not system stuff)

Not sure if titanium was the issue. anyway, did the 3 finger salute and restored my phone back and did a dirty flash.

That caused holy hell. Definitely have to do a clean install with this.

Anyway, I restored back for now. I'll have to play with this more this weekend. I do like it alot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Installed 3 times without a reboot. Yes I know advanced reboot bug. Uncheck and then check again to fix, just noticed this myself. On another note tho, this is completely different from shifted cm11. All new,I don't consider restoring data with tibu to be a clean install. Just saying lol. This system reads some things differently
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garwynn:
Moved to Android Development as OP requested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
I plan on doing a nice and clean install over the weekend. Unfortunately I have this thing called a job that I have to do today other-wise I'd be messing with this new rom today. I like what I saw so far though. Nova Launcher is new to me, so I'll be checking that out also.

Thanks for your continued hard work on this, it is very much appreciated!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
[MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION] here are some logs hope it helps further development.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Tcp I'll look into but not a real error or it would fail. The connectivity is a missing Bluetooth permission. I added many Bluetooth commits but it's not a fan if aosp. Also logs with xposed running not so great. What are you using it for anyway? I find it entirely to buggy and ram eating on aosp
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
The only thing I use exposed for is greenify premium features
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wolftou:
Does anybody has any issue with data and gps connection? I just ran today with this ROM and it took a while for the GPS to lock. After locking, it went in and out a few times. The data also went bonked for a while so I missed a portion of my run's route record. I didn't have this problem with SlimSaber. So is there anyway to get "GPS" settings or whatever it's called from SlimSaber and infused it with this CyanideMod? Only reason I asked is because I get the fastest and best GPS locking with Saber out of all the ROMs I have ever used.

Thank you very much. So far everything else is working great!

Calendar missing?

I don't see the calendar or any calendar widgets, were they removed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I've got them. I didn't take them out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axeman71:
Odd, it's not under my apps and when I try an add it as a widget it's not there either. I wonder if something went wrong with my install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Check your md5 and reflash

s959g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axeman71:
I checked the MD5 for both the rom and for gapps, both were good. Did a full re-install. No calendar. I have an i777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
What gapps are you using? Some versions uninstall it. I have it, just installed new so it's on your end
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axeman71:
I'm using pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20140725-signed. Is there another I should try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
I did a clean install and I have the calendar. It synced up and shows all my events too.

Also, I was setting it up last night (by hand, not using TB) and noticed no random reboots.

No reboot while I slept also. I use Koeler clock as my alarm clock so my phone was on all night.

I haven't found any glitches yet, so nothing new to report.

Love this Rom though, it just keeps on getting better and better!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I finally had a chance to try this out. All I can say is awesome job. You've been hard at it and it shows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desteele:
Just install Google Calendar from the app store...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Thank you. I put a lot of time into the last update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axeman71:
Lol, I never even thought to look and see if it was a downloadable app. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] richtoyz:
Back from the dead

Thankx a million for saving my phone, was running a 4.4.2 rom and something happened to my phone, was down to 4 hours battery life and considering the prospect of buying a new phone. Saw your rom and decided to try it as a last ditch effort to same it, and guess what, my phone is like new again, i am over the moon so again thnx for saving my phone:good::good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Awesome. Glad it worked out. This rom is pretty beast lol, just sayin. Enjoy. Haven't used s2 as phone in well over a year but I love it. Glad to keep another alive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Just started a build so it should be ready sometime this evening. Notification reminders, custom progressbar, some clean up, Modded dsp manager to support boeffla sound, PA Pie control and color added, halo color, live volume steps and more. I plan to add all the features I've added to the 2nd post this weekend. Anyway guys, enjoy the build. Dirty flash is fine. If it is weird with google play just reflash gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
in the settings, under cyanidemods. if you click on propmodder then the top option where it says "do you know.....".

That crashes on me, so I don't know what I'm suppose to know. you know?:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Oh yea! I forgot about that. It's not important tho. I'll remove for v3 for sure. Already started the build or I'd fix it now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
Thats the only thing I found that wasn't working.

I don't see how your going to improve over what you have already, because everything is working great on my phone.

I guess I'll wait for this new build and find out. So thanks in advance.!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Here's V2. Went ahead and fixed Propmodder as well. It was bothering me haha

Bad link? 404 error
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
fixed...my bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
Lol. I got it. Checking it out now. I did have to reflash gapps after a dirty install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I'm not shocked. I don't know why it does that. I need to put up a newer gapps package
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
no worries, small price to pay for being lazy and doing a dirty install.

this is a curiosity question, what made you switch to Nova launcher? I like it. I was using it on a different device so I'm already

familiar with with it.

also, I've been digging a little deeper into the different settings, like the governors. I believe you had Pegasus as default.

is that what you recommend for a good governor to use for battery/performance? I'm trying smartassv2 right now (it fits my personality)

and it seems to give me really good battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Switched to Nova because I was having issues with trebuchet. Pegasus is a Samsung governor. It's all preference but for me smartass2 was a battery killer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I second that about smartassv2. And Ondemand. Both always drained bad for me. You know I'm always partial to the Hyper governor. But that's my preference for balancing battery life with smooth performance for heavy users.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
Hey big guy. I've been using CyanideMod V2 for a couple of days now and it works pretty well. Really appreciate your work on keeping the i777 immortal. I did a clean install and restored some apps and phone data (messages, dictionary) with ultimate backup. Did not restore any settings or system apps to try to avoid stability issues. A few problems I've encountered:

- AOSP Keyboard + Google Voice Dictation do not play well. Most of the time when I'm trying to dictate (either in an SMS quick reply dialogue or SMS compose in the stock messaging app) - AOSP keyboard crashes (or the system soft reboots). I installed SwiftKey as a default keyboard and it seems to play nice with voice dictation.

- Device encryption only encrypts /data and leaves Internal Storage (/emmc) intact - have tried it a few times.

- Volume Buttons control media volume only regardless of the 'vol buttons control ringer volume' setting.

- Love the Dark Shift - very nice - issue when composing new SMS's in the messaging app. When typing in the name of the contact to send to, the suggestions that come up in the dropdown are poorly visible because it's dark text on a dark background.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
Investigated this issue further - seems that it does not encrypt the internal storage because of a problem in /fstab.smdk4210 - entry for sdcard0 is missing encryptable=sdcard flag. See here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50220/1/rootdir/fstab.smdk4210
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Nice find. As for the volume buttons, I know about this. It will be fixed next version. Finally found the issue. Voice dictation? I use voice typing all the time without issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
FYI, I haven't been able to test out the fstab change - don't have the proper tools to unpack boot.img. No idea what the effect will be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
I tried to figure out what was going on with AOSP keyboard & voice dictation... couldn't do it. Did a clean install, logged into google account - allowed it to download all apps and sync with my account, then only restored messages and call log with ultimate backup. Keyboard crashes as soon as I click the voice search button. Tried to wipe AOSP keyboard app data as well as user dictionary app with no result. I'm happy to test this or debug with logcat further if you want (I'm also content to just use SwiftKey instead).

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Tried slide2wake in STweaks - awesome feature. Doesn't persist across reboots though (with encrypted device) - the feature stays enabled but it has to be toggled off then on for it to start working again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
You could pull a log of the crash. Slide2wake is actually in the kernel, I just include my kernel in the builds. It persists through reboot without encryption so that must be the issue. I'll fix the fstab issue at some point this week
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
Here's the output of logcat with a related crash. Good luck deciphering it - seemed pretty intense to me. This is where I think the issue is (rest of it is attached):

Build up. Included kernel supports encryption as well. Deciding to work on one more goodie for the kernel but I'm not saying what it is until it's actually complete. Clean up, fixing and rebase. Enjoy V3. Also Google+ will crash your SystemUI so either don't install or don't flash LOL

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Just flash latest shift. I must have included the experimental one on accident
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
sweet dude. can't wait to try this out. gonna take me a while - microusb port got busted on my phone from all of the debugging I did this week and I had to order a replacement. Not brave enough to do a flash without the safety net of physical sdcard access :D

1. Does this include Shift-ETERNAL or should I flash that separately?

2. OK for dirty install or do we have to wipe /data /cache etc?

3. This bug in CM11 (i9100 branch https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5003) gave me so many headaches until I realized it was an active problem. Manifested for me with frozen large file copies (ie. backups using onandroid). First, I formatted internal and external sdcards to exFAT - which had zero effect. Then, installed this binary fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55788632#post55788632 - which resulted in resolution. Consider including it in your ROM as it doesn't seem to have been merged into CM11 yet.

Thanks again for all your work on this. You are a boss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Dirty should be fine. Wipe caches. It does include shift but was reported to have busted stweaks. Only difference is included shift-eternal supports encryption but I don't recommend encrypting anyway as it has basically no benefit and provides many opportunities for problems. I don't even know what issue you are referring to LOL but I'll check the link and probably go ahead and merge it with my source
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phermey:
i love the rom. getting great battery life in comparison to some others and i am yet to have any issues with it. still on v2. i am however having issues with updating apps through the play store. i used the gapps provided... and the only material update i hae received is gmail. i am still on an old version of the play store. i also cannot seem to get a recent version of android wear on my phone through the play store. when i installed this rom... i also installed the play store update. if that matters.

should i use a different gapps? as i did not have this problem ten days ago. or should i sideload the recent apks.

thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I can't speak to this particular rom, but other roms I've used I have been able to sideload recent Google apps (Gmail, PlayStore, PlayServices, Calendar, Search, Keyboard) with no issue. Just had to copy some lib files over afterwards so they would be updated. I'm not near my PC right now but I'll try to track down a link for it all. It's pretty straight forward.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phermey:
no rush. and thanks. i can hunt down the apks i need. but the lib files might be more of a stretch. i did a couple of google searches for 'copying lib library files android update play store' (in no particular order) and the stuff i was seeing was more for the developer. if you know where to hunt... then by all means, please linkme. but don't go through too much trouble. i am not too lazy to continually hunt down the apks when they get updated. it is the least i can do. android police has been flooding their site with material apk downloads lately anyways.

thanks again,

patrick.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/

That's where I got most of mine. The ones that need lib files with then will tell you and have the link for them as well. You can also search Android Police. They had a bunch of them at the end of October.

Lib files are easy to copy. Just copy them into system/lib and set the permissions to RW-R-R and reboot.

Just wipe caches and flash an updated gapps package. Thanks [MENTION=5315289]TheGeekyNimrod[/MENTION] but I'm too lazy for all that lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mvi57:
Just FYI: the latest pa micro gapps package is now too big to flash with this ROM - it's about 3mb too big.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I actually trimmed this down by about 10mb so next build should be fine. I use nano on i777 anyway but either way it's already been taken care of for next version

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dashrendar:
Thanks for the work, [MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION]!

I was wondering--would you be able to push out a CyanideMod build based on the recently released CM 11 M12 tag?

I know you're busy and you are already doing too much for the I777 community, but it would be awesome if you pushed builds based on both Nightly and Milestone since I am sure there are a lot of people (like me) who are fixated with the stability of Milestone builds (and soon RC and Stable), even if it's not directly perceived.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Well I now have ZERO working devices so development is halted. I built this for my phone and just did the s2 for fun but now I have neither, actually I don't have a device at all as I mentioned so......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] walttheboss:
Thanks for this so far. If I send you an i777 would dev keep going. No pressure but may get one cheap. Ugly but useable. Again no pressure. Just sent you a coke or two via pp on the other thread.
