Yeah, I thought I'd taken enough time to think out my comment in the 2 days before I posted it, but now reading it I'm still not happy with the way I've worded it.

Actually, I did smoke a bowl before/while typing that comment, (probably why I edited it like 5 times) I was honestly quite chill at the moment and speaking from the heart. I love this forum and am VERY thankful it exists. Sometimes I feel like too many of us take this community for granted. I have my own fair share of projects I devote my free time and efforts to and often find myself feeling sympathetic to the devs here. (While the comment in question was admittedly harmless, I still felt like addressing the issue directly as over time I've seen quite a few talented devs leave this community after so many similar statements. I don't wanna see anyone's efforts undermined by people with contagious "why bother" attitudes. You wouldn't believe You should know as well as anybody the absurd amount of ridiculous **** people have to put up with around here.)

Honestly I don't think there's ANYTHING wrong with the guy's statement, I just think it could've been more tastefully worded.

[MENTION=5298648]justanother1020[/MENTION] Sorry for picking on you man, your opinion is valid and has just as much value here as anybody's. I'd hate to think I were discouraging anyone from taking part in this community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I thought you were fine dude. Go to the ROM thread you want to praise to say that, not another ROM thread. Makes no sense and I thought what he said was rude anyway basically putting down something that has had way more time spent on it. You want to know what roms are really like you probably need a device newer than 4 years old lol. I've done WAY WAY more work than slim on lollipop and that's a fact. Nobody has this phone anymore, not any developers anyway. Mine is trash basically, outcall bug getting fixed is EXTREMELY doubtful.

Edit: And then I see the new hack fix hahaha, insert foot in mouth here. That's very very nice, I will get this updated with my final L release and I will add that zip to the OP as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
Lol, I just got my hands on a note 4 for cheap. I love the hardware, but using it makes me miss this rom so much I'm considering getting rid of it and using the i777 a bit longer.

(That and it's the Verizon branded one anyway, I'm not patient enough to wait for downgrade methods/root/recovery/ROMS to make their way to this particular variant and an unrooted phone is pretty much useless to me.)

You've done some EXCELLENT work with this rom man. It's easily my all time favorite on any android device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] radoo7701:
I've downloaded the file twice and couldn't get it to flash successfully. My first try failed when flashing system. The second one just caused TWRP to reboot.

I have been running the latest Slim builds with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ms.journie:
Is this Rom Deoxed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Of course, it's aosp?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ms.journie:
Ah thanks! I've been working on this for hours.

Another question.....

Do you know if I can install Xposed? On my S4 lollipop I was able to but with the S2 I'm trying to do my research.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
No idea, I'm not a fan and don't support it and it 100%WILL break many things in the ROM

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ms.journie:
2 Questions!

1. I have flashed cyanide-5.1.1-RC-17.5-i777.zip and I'm unable to flash GAPPS PICO MODULAR PACKAGE. Is this a known problem?

2. I have flashed cyanide-5.1.1-RC-16.0-i777.zip and I've been searching for the screen recorder but I'm unable to find. Is the screen recorder in the version 17.5?

Thanks

FYI, I run Xposed with vanilla CM12.1 on the i777 and it seems to work fine (only occasional force-closes)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ms.journie:
I was so tired last night but I finally figured it out. So far I haven't had any issues with Xposed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
I'm having the exact same problem. Tried a number of gapps bak cages, including pico/mini/micro and all fail with an out of space error on a fresh wiped flash. Any pointers would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Open gapps nano

Poisoned by CyanideL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
It still fails. I'm using the nano package from here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] s_spiff:
Same here.. can't install GApps with 17.5. Any solutions? Using PA pico sized package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
PA GApps /= Open GApps

Open gapps = http://opengapps.org/

These nano and pico packages are the smallest GApps currently available -if these don't fit, then nothing will.

I have not tried them on any firmware, on any device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] s_spiff:
Unfortunately, even the pico is too big for cyanideL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] walttheboss:
This used to happen to me. If you format system (I think) then if will fit. It was advised on an old gapps thread. Helped on my i777 s2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmystere68:
im back to try a latest build to test it out. outgoing call bug still here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
I wanted to give this a test and wanted to report back my findings.

Did clean install with recommended gapps.

* play services crashed, but we know this already.

* messaging errors out when sending a message, but it does send. (also able to receive messages)

* doesn't save the sound profiles. My ringtone and notification sound is on my SD card, so not sure

If thats an issue with sd card reading. picked built in ringtone and notification sound and it kept the settings

* browser crashes on my on open

* tried adding a couple of email accounts, gives a username/password error, but then adds the account.

won't sync and get messages though. also noticed can't add exchange servers.

* btw, where is the sync toggle? can seam to locate it to see if it's on or not.

tried restoring an app with titanium ( I know, not your fav app).

Just seems to hang, doesn't restore. I was trying to restore firfox to see

if I could browse. is this delvic or art runtime?

wifi, data, gps, phone seem to work fine

imported contacts from vcf file

those are a few of the things I noticed.

Lollipop definitely seems faster and I like the look.

Thanks for all your hard work on this, If you need me to test something else let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Play store and WiFi reboot stuff is causing 98% of this but as you mentioned it's known and I believe they are one in the same problem. I need to update my kernel even more and fix sdcard setup. Some thry are all there but with extras from multi user but my n2 doesn't have multi user so I'm gonna pull it. Just TWO issues away from DD. Battery from my report from my trustworthy friend he said is better than its EVERT BEEN. Crazy when you're on the 4th android above your supported firmware AT LEAST to improve the one and only real issue with the great 777. Unfortunately it's a big issue lol, UNTIL NOW lol. Just when I post a build pull it and report it again. You've been around and around me since I started and know the minimal but useful info I'm looking for
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmystere68:
Add more info

Well i dont know if they work...cause i couldnt get past the setup. Maybe i flashed the wrong gapps??could that be the cause?? I cant remember...well i continue to encourage you to make it better. I didnt mean to be rude. Gotta love your work though...i am running your cm11 port as daily driver ever since m8.

If ever the gapps were not detected.....the phone did try to download its own play store. But since we cant input wifi password,it could not download and brought me back to wifi screen. Try fixing the keyboard problem at first boot and then let it download its own play store....just trying to help here..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Well gapps IS an issue currently. I wouldn't flash them until reported working. I didn't take you rude. Yea that pure cm11 I was building with sabermod is a ROCK. It's not a port lol. Built from source specific for i777. Same as from cm official but with speed enhancement from sabermod
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmystere68:
What if i remove my wifi password temporarily, make initial setup, let it download its own play store?? I cant wait...i am gonna try that!!

Edit: i messed up my router while trying to remove password...wifi led is turned off and cant connect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xtmp:
What wrong with my S2. It hangs on blue tachometer. CWM not working too.:(

Same was with shift kernel 5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
The rom comes with the correct kernel. Shift 5.0 is for KK. This is lollipop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xtmp:
I know. I read description carefully. I tried flash from cwm 6.0.4.5 twice (with all wipes). But it stack at blue logo. Then I flash Shift Eternal CM12 kernel, but it stack at logo too, so I cant reboot to cwm :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I mentioned to use my recovery first. You can try an old shift to get back to recovery so you can wipe or you'll have to Odin back recovery. My recovery(philz) is the only 777 lollipop compatible one. Pull battery for a minute and try again to boot recovery. Sometimes it sticks. I have a new version but I have to build again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Have you tried a battery pull then 3 finger salute to get into recovery? Sometimes when things get jumbled up pulling the battery for a little while and then using the 3 finger salute will solve the problem.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xtmp:
I know about cwm Odin. Not first time. Every time when I cant boot cmw, I flashing SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar, and then RenderBroken CM11 kernel (6.0.4.5).

I'll try philz. Thank you!

PS

Cant find "recovery(philz) is the only 777 lollipop compatible one". Could you give url ?

ROM Unofficial [CyanogenMod12] [12/12][BETA} [SaberMod/Linaro]

Just go to the shift kernel thread and dowload the latest version version KK, flash it, reboot to recovery and then flash cm12 and cm12 kernel. Worked fine for me when I tested it. I don't have my own device anymore....I'll upload the newer one tomorrow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
No worries lol. Just glad I caught that. the L900 is the device...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Terr20114:
When I tried the ROM last time I was having some major crash in WhatsApp and Facebook. I use these apps a lot n my gf would go crazy if she can't get to me lol. Whenever these crashes I'll start using this ROM as a daily driver, I'll test the new build tomorrow as at the moment I'm running on mobile data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] richtoyz:
Wow Lollipop for the i777 how cool!! i see issues with gapps so won't flash yet, but cant wait till all is well to flash. thanks for ypur continued support for my old phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Small update guys. Next time I build it will no longer be CM12. I have started in on CyanideL so that's what you will get. I will release for s2 UNTIL it is stable but after that I think I may be retiring from this section. Time is just not on my side anymore but you will get a stable Lollipop ROM from me before then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Thank you very much appreciated. This will be my play phone ? very shortly. I got bacon waiting for me at home when I get there been out of town.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Terr20114:
Okay thanks a lot bro. I love the work you have done here. It's greatly appreciated. Will really miss seeing your shift kernel around here though. That's the kernel ill always use. Peace out bro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
thanks dude!

I'll be able to play with this over the weekend.

as a side note, I installed the older rom last night without the gapps and things seemed to work pretty good.

email still didn't work, but I didn't see any system errors or weird errors.

btw, did you upload the update? Went to download it and the latest was from the 11th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I haven't built the update yet. Started work on my n2 and released a beta but adding a few more things before i release a dd over there. Still have to fix gapps crash and sd here and then it's good to go
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
oh ok, my bad.

It's going to be tough seeing you leave. When I first found this forum I flashed Mr cooks 4.4.2 ROM.

Then I noticed you building the 4.4.4 and I've been on your ROMS ever since as a DD.

I've tried other roms, but always restore back to yours.

I guess once you do depart, I'll have to go harass Mr geekynimrod and liquid smooth with my bug reports ;)

But untill then, your stuck with me!! lol

As always, I owe you a lot of gratitude for all the time and hard work you put in to keep our phones running smooth

with the newer Android versions.

This ROm says I don't have root access when I try and install apps ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Ok guys, no more CM12. Time for you to enjoy an Android Lollipop Daily Driver. Welcome to CyanideL. You see all the new stuff in the ROM. Everything is working now as should be. No more reboots and you can now flash the gapps that I have linked in the OP. Do NOT flash another kernel with this as the kernel is built specific to L and this ROM. It has that fix everyone is always whining about that bug or whatever even tho in the OVER TWO YEARS i had this device I didn't encounter the issue even once, not once lol. Anyway, clean install will be needed but this can now be ran as a daily and not just a test and restore. Sdcard mounts funny but it is currently fully working and all major bugs have been eliminated. Enjoy guys, not even i9100 has anything L with this much in it, bank on it lol. Anywho flash already, what are you just sitting there staring at this for???!!!

how to boot?

I tried to flash this...stuck at that blue tachometer boot screen thing people mentioned they were stuck at before. How did people get around this? I have a modified pit, but it's that 4gb data that some people said worked...

UPDATE

...OH OH! i just redownloaded the files and flashed again, and it worked. nice boot logo lol thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Is the kernel inline built? Or kitchen shift?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Both actually but you need to build it separate if you want recovery. With L if you try to build with more than the cm recovery your build will fail. Will take some real recovery updating to change that and not worth it. You can just set a few flags and use one that you've pre-built i believe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Takes AWHILE to boot. Ten minutes sometimes. Glad you got it going
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eincognito:
well, now i have it stuck on the boot logo... i let it go for at least 20 mins and the phone gets really hot... still not getting past that... :/ I'm wondering where i can find a stock .pit file now, in case that's the problem...

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

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csfile:
For now, I found all the internal SD card stuff in /mnt/media_rw/sd0 using root explorer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yosmokinman:
Nice work man. Keeping the old i777 alive. Thanks.

Possible problem, maybe just me, can someone confirm:

Outgoing calls connect but there is no sound on either end until I toggle speakerphone then it works normal, have to do it every outgoing call. Incoming calls work fine. Text works fine as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] radoo7701:
It seems I can partially access it but cannot see any of my old data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Common issue. It's because of the new multi user. I'll be removing it as i find having more than one user on a phone is a very unusual idea anyway.

Hmm interesting. I myself didn't test this so had no idea but I've got an idea as to why. Can you pull me a log of it happening? Without a device in COMPLETELY reliant on other people's input. This finishing touches stuff is basically impossible to finish without having a device. Over 100 kernel builds trying to fix sd blindly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I'll upload another new test kernel tomorrow that you can try and report back on. It's there, the system just looks in the wrong place. It's emulated to could be anywhere. N2 storage is EXACTLY the same as cm11. PITA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yosmokinman:
First time taking a log if I'm way off let me know what to do.

In ~10 seconds I did adb logcat>called a number>let it connect (no sound)>toggled speakerphone (sound works now)>ended call>stopped logcat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Sounds about right. I do "adb logcat > log.txt" thanks. I'll pull and see if it gives me some useful info

Edit : could you do the same exact thing BUT make the call and sound change at least 3 times so i can be sure of the correct error? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yosmokinman:
Sure. You mean after I hang up just do it again a few times in the same log right?

Edit: Thats what I did, five something times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Apparently I'm out of thanks the day. Thanks for the log
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
I noticed stweaks is not working on my device. I am unable to select a profile or restore a profile I had backed up.

I choose Extreme Battery in the profiles tab, the number 6 pops up but it doesn't set the profile.

I'm also seeing mega battery drain on my end. It looks like Exchange services may be the culprit. I was down to 88% after

45 minutes on a charged battery. I changed the sync frequency in my email from automatic push to 1 hour so I'll see if that helps.

Other than those two things I'm seeing, I'm loving Lollipop so far. I've been through all the settings tinkering.

I was missing the screen shot option, but I found it in the power+volume down and hold for 2 seconds.

I saw in earlier posts the SD card is still causing some headaches, so no need to mention it again.

I can't speak to the phone call issues. I get maybe one phone call a month. This device is my portable

computer and messaging machine. sure it may be able to make calls, but who wants to talk to others when I can just text them. lol

I may have found a lollipop bug. I generally don't use a lock screen, I set it to none in the security settings.

I changed it from "none" to "pin" and decided to go back to "none", but it's not an option anymore. oh well,

guess I'll use "swipe" :silly:

excellent work on getting all the errors solved on this. with all the tinkering I did, I did not see one system ui error or any

other type of error. I did a clean install and also a clean install of all the apps I use. no TB ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Stweaks is not supported in the lollipop kernel yet, and may never be. That's going to depend on Rogersb11.

The battery drain has got to expected initially. Google services is completely different on 5.0 and it's going to talking to Google quite a bit at first. Plus it's a complete platform change. That's going to take some settling in time. Be patient with it and give it a few days to calm down ( if it is dd material 4u) and it will get better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
thats what I figured on the battery drain. I will have to restore back to lollipop after xmas and let it settle in. I restored back to my normal DD as I need my phone to last longer than 3 hours during xmas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Actually it's same shift kernel. Stweaks worked when I tested it. Maybe when I upload stand alone kernel it will solve the issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omar71693:
Yep. Stweaks is working for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tank Weston:
If this is built from Nimrod's L from the S3 then I say it's running pretty smooth considering I have it on both devices right now and can't notice too much difference between the two. Other then the fact that my s3 is a bit more snappier. I can agree though and say battery drain is much more drastic on the s2 over the s3, by about 5-7% more an hour in standby.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Nimrod is theming and joined up when I asked him and he is also the s3 device maintainer but CyanideL is my source and so is the source that allows this to be built on s2. Not being rude, just pointing that i make 99% of all changes, commits and source merging and i started CyanideL, not [MENTION=5315289]TheGeekyNimrod[/MENTION] but he is indeed a part of my team, well the only other member actually lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omar71693:
Is there a way to make space in /system so that we can install apps? It's very full, I'm assuming because Lollipop is running on ART.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I don't know if the PIT Odin file resizes the system partition or not. Or if you meant the data partition. Since you have root, you can always remove unneeded system files. I remove quite a bit from every ROM I've ever installed. Stuff I know I won't use. Live wallpapers, Email and Exchange since I use Inbox and Gmail, Documents, sound recorder, that kind of stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mojangsta:
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

With both the new CyanideL and the previous vanilla CM12 builds from this thread, my device always sits at the boot animation, even when left unattended for hours. I start from PhilZ recovery, from the CyanideMod (CM11) ROM I used previously, or I flash the Shift-CM12 kernel from Roger's filehost, both yield the same PhilZ recovery; I do 'Clean to install new ROM', then flash the respective zip (CyanideL), then reboot. I've tried with a stock PIT and a 4GB /data PIT (with /preload); the ROM always sits at the boot animation indefinitely. With the same steps, I can do a clean install of any other sgs2att ROM including CyanideMod (CM11) which always boot to the first-time setup wizard successfully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Thegeekynimrods suggestion gets the job done, but why not allow the apps to be installed to /data?
