seriously, you're requesting yet another sense port, when we still haven't gotten a very functional port yet?
Lol I guess a group of dev should get together and work on it

Might be easier with the newer versions of Sense seeing as how less intrudive it is on an OS level. That said i'm sure its still a PITA.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes it is another sense rom.. but i actually think it would be easier since a newer version of it (as said).. looks way nicer as well
Its not likeim demanding it or anything.. just seeing if anybody would be up to it.. even tho the phone IS suppose to he better then the sgs2.. i guess the ROM parr of it doesnt make a difference.. more of other things

Hello all
First of all im not good english because my main language is italian anyway:
Im new i receiv this phone for a fews weeks ago my father gave me as gift from china.
Im using cyanogen mod 7 and i have kernel like 2.6.35.7-gedb93be [email protected] #1
The question is this: How i can update firmware automatic without doing so complicate and easy way to do??
I heard most people use SGH-I9100 and update with program Samsung Kies easy.
Well for this SGH-I777 cannot use kies and doesnt work either.
Any suggestion? Maybe a nice alternative for update in future?
Hope this information help a bit
Thank for support!
Alan
I'm pretty sure that's only possible if you have rom manager pro ...sort of , I'm pretty sure if you want to update you have to download and flash the update
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Kies + cm7 would never work anyway. Cm7 is an aosp rom and kies only works with Samsung builds.
Sent from my HTC PH39100
If you are trying to update CM7 to newer builds you can use rom manager paid app and have access to it. OR you can also download the newer CM7 updates from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2att
If you are wanting to upgrade the stock samsung firmware then you will need to go back to stock samsung rom for kies to work I think.

Thanks for all guys i paid premium rom manager and there seems all ok!
Remain only a problem about NFC when i go setting wireless + NFC its show me grey out why? doesnt work?
NFC is not enabled yet on the AT&T version of this phone. Some developers have made progress in getting the phone to recognize the NFC chip, but no one has been able to enable full functionality of NFC.
Oh so i have to wait for next update version cyanogen mod for fix this problem? I hope so because need a lot nfc :s! thanks for quick reply u guys are great
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Right now, NFC working in CM7 is still quite a ways away... I have only succeeded in partial functionality with official Samsung firmware.
The problem is that the AOSP/CM7 Nfc.apk does NOT like our stock device's JNI libraries (crashfest) - but using the Nexus S JNI libs causes the behavior you describe.
Aosp? Ehm well im a noob lol i dont understand at all about technology especial telephone instead computer antway i try to learn as quick as i can :/

Learning
I hear you, man. After the last few years with iPhones, I am learning a ton since coming here.
AOSP is Android Open Source Project. It is often used to mean plain android without any 3rd party changes like HTC sense or Samsung TouchWiz.
Cyanogen builds their ROMs straight from AOSP. Other devs start with already modified versions. For example UnNamed and Serindipity are built off of the Samsung modified android that came on our phones.

Rule number one of Cyanogen Mod is do not ask for dates. I would say that applies here too. Even if the devs can get NFC to work it is very unlikely we will be able to use google wallet, which is the big draw for a lot of people.

I knew some of what you were talking about, but I am a little unclear about the link between AOSP and stock Android. They don't actually put out anything that is usable by average consumers, right? Their output is solely for the dev community?

My New rooted phone
Hello, I am a newbie to this whole rooting thing. I just had my phone rooted with UnNamed ROM v2.2.1 so far the phone has been really fast and smooth. Its a nice clean setup. The big question is, now what? What should be my next step? Nothing big since I`m still learning. Maybe a theme? I not sure. Thanks for any input. Have a great night.
Do whatever you feel like doing, or leave it as it is if it works for you. That's the beauty of Android, you always have choices. Enjoy your phone, it's a beast.

Yeah I saw this on their forum. Can't wait for someone to use hellraiser (don't know if it can be used for ICS) for this one
No I haven't seen anyone try to port to the att version. You should port this to our phone that would be a great start we just need the drivers for the gpu so we can have hardware acceleration.

They are making some nice progress there!
Can't wait for us to be at this stage

Really looking forward to ICS on our devices
Once it's out of alpha phases I'll probably poke at it.

Ok, so has anyone attempted to flash this onto our att SGS2? I have been messing with flashing the i9000 ICS directly onto my captivate and other than button configuration it is fun to mess with.
I KNOW some people flashed i9100 based roms onto our i777 phones in the beginning and it is not a good idea.
NOW saying that, for the captivate using the i9000 ICS they have been able to flash back between the ASOP build and CM7 with no issues since they both are using mtd. But since our phones are not using mtd I would assume it would be different? So basically I was wondering if we would be able to flash in between AS LONG AS WE ARENT FLASHING BOOTLOADERS? Glad to see some interest for ICS for our phones as well. I was thinking the older SGS phones would have/will have it before us

ICS
That video was pretty good, for an alpha release. I'm really looking forward to that. On a related note, AT&T needs a Nexus device NOW, because I would like stock, unskilled ICS (and beyond) with all of the updates and future support it entails.
They are already up to Alpha 6! Looks like touch was fixed.
I really hope CM7 is ported to the Galaxy S3 as I think it will perform really really well....does anybody know anything or do you know about as much as me? Lol

CM will defo be built for the SGS3 im sure but it will take a few months to get it right.
CM7 will not be on the SGS3 as its Gingerbread based, CM9 will be the likely candidate Dont hold your breath though
JD
CM9 is WIP for I9300 atm

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest i will stay with TW as i like the direction Samsung have taken it
I was running CM9 on my S2 and wouldn't touch a TW rom on the S2, that said i think i would feel disadvantaged running CM9 on S3
Has anyone heard anything on CM9 for the S3 yet??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
No. CM7 will not be ported unless you want to port it which makes absolutely no sense at all. The Galaxy S3 is ICS natively and to go back to 2.3 is just silly.

SpeedJ.. Yep, xplodwild teased a screenshot a little while back. Its running on the GS3 but probably buggy as hell. When its stable and ready for release we'll see it. But it IS in the workx

Hi, I was interested in building an ICS ROM for the galaxy player 4.2. After compiling ICS from the source, what steps do you need to take to make it into a ROM?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid it's not THAT simple. AFAIK, there is a lot of work to be done before a booting ICS can be achieved. If you have no prior experience in android ROM development, I don't think this is a task you should take up right now. ICS compiled from the AOSP will not work on the 4.2 without modification and an ICS kernel, both of which are far beyond my current technological skill. Also this should be in general. Yes, I know it IS development related, but this IS a development site. Questions belong in the general thread. Thanks.

Well starting by practice is good way imo. I did so But wothout knowledge, you have to be extremely patient

I understand, maybe I can look at how it was achieved on the other players and it might be similar?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't look at the other players, as the 4.2 is pretty different from the 4 and 5. Try finding another Samsung product with similar hardware. Example: the galaxy player 5.0 is very similar to the SGS i9000 , Nexus S (crespo), and GTab p1000.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Okay, but I'm pretty sure the 4.2 is similar to nexus s?

Compare specs. Find out.

by specs our devices are quite similar, by kernel etc. less but still similar.
I think that good and interesting way of learning is to add same/similar modifications as on crespo/aries and try to understand how does it accually work.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm quite busy at the moment catching up with school work, I'll see what I can do this weekend.

Hell, the 4.2 might even get an official update. Unlikely, but possible. IDK if Samsung has made a statement about this, but it only came out last year. (I think)
I called Samsung and asked about official updates and they said the 4.2 won't be getting any because the specs aren't good enough....

Thats a lie. there was a device called the Galaxy Music that had an 800 mHz processor that got JB.
Samsung wont update the galaxy players because they are much cheaper compared to phones (take the s3 for example, it costs 700-800 bucks if you get it without a contract)
I'd suggest reading through the following threads if you haven't already. Then ask about the specific parts there you're not understanding.
[GUIDE] How to port ROMs to the Galaxy Players
[Guide]Rom Development for Dummies (and a few other things)
And I found this one that describes the complete process for the aospa rom. You should be able to adapt the details for whatever rom you're working on.
[GUIDE][AOSPA:v3.+] How to Compile AOSPA from Source : + Support and Maintenance
That won't work until there is a working ICS kernel though. And even after that is completed, work will need to be done on the ROM.
