In your opinion is this stable enough to use as a DD yet. Don't really want to change my pit file if it isn't none of my back ups will fit on the stock pit file. I have a 1+1 coming any day now when it arrives It doesn't matter what happens to this phone I can use it to test anything you'd like me to its easy to fix back to stock and start over. this is the s959g version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Wow. Decided to come back and check out the forums. I'll try this when it becomes stable enough to be used as a DD since this is my only phone. Keep up the good work.

Im back with my report

I'm back late but its better late than never. Will just make a list of what's going on.

*Took a few tries to get it booting.

was suck upgrading android system

*Phone calls, text messages and USSD Codes work

*Still no data

*All bugs from before...

*Many apps crash

*Silky Smooth

*Apps Install Quickly

*Super SU appears in settings after install

*Memory and CPU in Settings

Um... That kinda sums it up. This was mainly for the data test right?

Fresh build. Some more fixes. Data SHOULD be working now, fixed like a week ago, my bad. New kernel, internal sd is still slightly off, I just haven't had time to really dig into the issue but if it isn't fixed soon I'll be on it. REBOOT WORKAROUND. as you know you have needed to LEAVE WiFi on so you didn't get a soft reboot. Well it's closer, I thought I had it fixed but it came back. Anyway, the WORKAROUND is when you boot the device turn the wifi on and then you can turn it back off and the device will NOT reboot when it sleeps. This has to be done on every boot. WAY more stable than the last build I uploaded. I've built about 5 in between but they weren't ready IMHO. Battery seems to be great and when it's low you can use battery saver/Low power mode. It will ask you if you want to. Enjoy guys!!!! As soon as the reboot issue is completely handled this should be a DD. Could be now as long as data is fixed(IT BETTER BE) and you follow my SIMPLE workaround step. DL this already would ya https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95855108297850989

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lysergic Acid:

Yeah it's weird that it's not happening to everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Apparently so. My device is broken so I'm working blind here. Now that data and everything is working as should be hopefully I get some people on this long enough to report the important stuff. Once our sd is completely straightened out this is good to go. Reboot is on CM until I here otherwise. If it's kernel I'll fix it myself but I don't think it is. Reboot quick fix turn on wifi on boot then you can shut it back off immediately or whenever and you won't reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmystere68:
Nothing works. I cant get past setup screen. After asking for wifi i clicked skip. Then tap&go screen appeared, i skipped...it loads software updates and then brings me back to wifi setup.....and it goes on.

Play services error was showing too.

cyanide-5.1.1-RC-14.7-i777.zip

Okay, let's try this again. built with BOARD_NO_WIFI_HAL := true

-- Same awesome cyanide code, but slightly different device code. --

- This build will install a generic i777 kernel, including TWRP as recovery.

- This firmware currently defaults to the ATT LTE APN, which is incorrect for this device (on any carrier), you will need to select an appropriate APN to use mobile data.

- Outgoing call bug is still present, evrything else should work as it did before.

- Please provide feedback

Happy Flashing,

Just found this ROM. So what all isn't working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
The "outgoing call bug" is still present for sure. After initiating a call, you have to toggle the [ speaker ] button before you will hear anything on the other end.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aanubis:
What gapps do I use and your link above has 2 zip files do I need both
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
A few posts prior, someone lists a gapps package that they use with this firmware.

You don't need both files, but some download both in order to verify that the download is complete (recovery looks for it when flashing).

-Cyril
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aanubis:
So the call bug is the only issue? After toggling the speaker it works as normal or just on speaker phone? How stable is this ROM? Does it crash, frezze or restart often?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Once you toggle speaker, the call works as normal.

It's the only issue that I'm aware of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
or if you're lazy like me, you could use something like this :good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.malamber.speakerphone&hl=en

Downloaded it for use in my car, I end up using it for all kinds of situations now. (wish I didn't need a third-party app to do this though)

I find it easier just letting it default to speakerphone and just hitting the button once to turn it off if I want privacy. less button presses to get desired result=efficiency(sort of)

Can anyone post a pic of their battery stats?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
I don't know what's going on with my phone and lollipop ROM but it acts weird since i flashed from two different ROMs

First ROM was cyril's OmniRom 5.0 and it would not stop checking the sd card and draining the battery and my cell data just kills off at random times

Now I flashed this ROM, cell data seems OK but the scanning is still an issue, and im at 4% battery and slowly charging.

Now I did pull this sd card from a Nokia Lumia 630 running WP 8.1 and can that cause issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Sounds like you need to format your SD card. Something most likely became corrupted and the phone can't resolve it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
What?! Lol. Boom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
I did format the SD card for exFat for my Lumia. I'm on Resurrection Remix KK now but it gets seen on boot but any apps accessing the external sd card, it will either unmount itself or become an unable directory in file explorers

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
quick question, What happened to AudioFX? It doesn't appear to be present. I made a quick settings tile for it, but it launches nothing.

(enjoy the double notification,:) I accidently posted this in the OMNI-i777 thread by mistake and couldn't find the option to delete the post)

also, where has the option to unlock the phone via the volume buttons gone? I have yet to replace my dying power switch, so this option was especially useful to me. (acquired a sg959 for donor parts not too long ago, just haven't gotten around to it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Volume wake is in buttons. Audio fx was removed, guess I should dump that tile and update the feature list, it's only 3 months old lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SammyPotter:
Finally

I try this one and problem solve :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
:confused:

umm, Brett? (sorry if addressing you informally seems rude but trying to type Mr. Rogers made me laugh too hard to take this post seriously.) Are you sure its still there? As far as I can tell volume wake WAS in buttons, that's why I'm asking. I'm used to switching it on shortly after a clean flash, but It seems to have been absent for some time. It's no longer there and I can't find it anywhere else. Options involving the volume keys appear to be no longer present in the buttons menu selections.

I can upload some screenshots demonstrating this if you like.

Also, where'd the native install location option disappear to? I could have sworn it was in the dropdown in either the storage or apps menus

but I can't seem to locate it anymore either. That 1.97gb partition filling up and leaving the other nearly empty is getting on my nerves

should I just install Link2SD or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Lmao, well it's my neighborhood. That show makes me feel old. Volume buttons I'll get with Cyril about, it's an overlay issue, easy fix. Default install I have no idea tbh, I've never changed mine. You can move them in the apps screen, the settings is in here somewhere I'm sure because I have the strings for it so I know it's there. I'll try to dig around when I get the chance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
yeah, i just moved what I could manually, then went right back to installing all the little apps I think I can't live without.

all that stuff aside, the thing runs great.

It does occasionally randomly reboot and I sometimes lose a large percentage of battery when it comes back up.

also the last few builds seem to have issues keeping connected. Wifi is stable, but mobile constantly resets and is typically unstable at battery levels lower than 35 percent. sometimes it doesnt come back until I reboot, which again sometimes I lose 20-30 percent battery life in the process.

I think I'm gonna order two "new" batteries and an external charger next payday and see if any of this goes away. I have a sneaking suspicion my battery is nearing the end of it's life cycle.

regardless, with every new build this beast seems to keep getting snappier and more enjoyable. the last few have just been acting a bit funny for me. Keep up the amazing work.

Cyanide is my DD for a reason!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:

So, I'm just trying to understand the outgoing call bug in this ROM and I know this bug needs to be fixed but I need a little clarification on the fix.

Is it A. To hear the other person in the call, I have to toggle speakerphone on and then off

Or B. I need to have speakerphone always on to hear them.

Incoming calls simply work fine for me. On outgoing calls, though (such as checking voicemail) I have to swap to the loudspeaker and back to hear anything. I thought about creating an app to do it automatically on outgoing calls, but I don't know how to get it to only activate once a call connects rather than when the call is dialed... then I don't know how to programmatically swap to speaker mode and back... so... yeah.

I'm only vaguely familiar with Android programming, but it would seem like something that could be done by someone in a half hour if they knew what they needed to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] walttheboss:
If you don't use "OK Google" then you can deactivate it. For some people that fixes the out call bug. Without Google owning your mic the call mic works fine. Learned on a s4 mini forum. But reported to work on this as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] looncraz:
Are you referring to Google Voice Search (known only as the "Google App")? :confused: I used the Pico apps which doesn't include that, though I manually installed it later (with no change in symptoms).

Alright, I flashed build 16.0 RC and so far so good, I have to find the apps that can move to SD since the list don't show like it did on Ginderbread to Kit Kat, like they show up and you can pick the ones to move for more app space. I fixed that issue with App Mgr III, but is there root enabled on this ROM?

Yeah, i saw he made a new zip for a CM 12 kernel for 5.1.X including TWRP 2.8.7.0. I thought about flashing it to get a better recovery, I might get a updated recovery but I'll bork my install of this ROM too. So, I didn't risk it. And Thanks, looks and feels better plus lock screen told me 3 days until full from 5% battery. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Lol I wouldn't sweat that, it'll change itself. Battery calculation is way different now. If it actually charges way slow use a calibration app, mine charges in the normal time frame
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
76% and still going, but now I have no Bluetooth at all, I try to turn it on and Bluetooth share has stopped. Is it possible to replace the apk with an older one to fix this issue? I tried to install one over the current bugged version.

Edit: I fixed it by replacing the Bluetooth.apk file in the Bluetooth folder in /system/app and it worked. I took it from the 15.4 RC zip.:D but is it alright to change the kernel to either Cyril's CM 5.1.X with TWRP 2.8.7.0 or to the Shift LP kernel? Or Will it bootloop?

Edit 2: now I have no idea what's causing this issue but when the phone is charging, sometimes it'll never come back from a lock screen while on charger, if this issue was mentioned before, I'm sorry but if not, that's kinda a big one. And also, you must charge the phone around 10% to 12%, if you try to use it around or below 9%, good luck, my phone freezes just at or below that battery level. Will provide last_kmsg next time around the time of the freeze. :(

Does your data work at all or just at "E" speeds (Edge network). If only on Edge then you may need to switch back and forth between 2G and 3G a few times till it locks onto the 3G/H network. No promises on this.

(I think it was something REAL stupid, like a typo)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
nope, even simpler. all was correct yet did not work until I deleted all other apns. never had to do this before now, not sure why.

I went back and double checked and the apn i manually added to the r800at while on the line with tech support and it matched the apn settings stored in the phone/posted online/etc.

It still didnt work till I deleted all the rest of the apn's. no idea why but selecting it via the button on the right never seemed to DO anything after it lit the button before now.

anyway, issue is fixed now and I am quite pleased. thanks for your advice guys, I appreciate your help. this forum IS STILL awesome!
