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

Kies + cm7 would never work anyway. Cm7 is an aosp rom and kies only works with Samsung builds.

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

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.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
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.

I'm on the edge with getting rid of my Thrill 4G after this phone I'm more than looking forward to this Galaxy S II. I'm more of a Samsung fan than an LG, but! I'm still glued upon my Thrill, is there any ROM or something n00b friendly to make me feel more acquainted like the Thrill did? Like the following list
- LG Music Player.
- Zeam or Go Launcher Custom dev.
- ROMs containing such LG type material?
I'm just trying to be come acquainted.

LG software's not gonna work on S2
Btw Samsung software's r far better than LG
Just Buy S2 no worries

Definitely worth a trade, I'm hearing that from everyone.
By the way, am I in the right forum for Galaxy S II AT&T version of this phone?
I knew in the end I'd get rid of this phone from the time I got it.
I'm VERY aware that LG software sucks compared to Samsung, I know I'd get the better of the two.
Another thing that's scary to ME is the small size of this phone, I've got an issue with gripping things tightly whilst playing games.
Last question, what's the most n00b friendly ROM I can load and is there already a boot image made for this phone once you go to ROM Manager? With the Thrill, you've gotta build a boot.img file. Hopefully this phone will be ready to Flash from scratch.

No, this forum is for the international version of the Galaxy S II; for the AT&T version, you want to be somewhere else.
hey guys,
i'm currently doing some research for the 14 y/o brother of a friend, whose parents have just allowed him to get a smart phone.
i only ever bought nexus devices and would recommend him the nexus s, but unfortunately his limit is ~180 euro and the nexus s is ~270 euro here in germany. thus i need some advice.
he can't decide between the galaxy ace and the wildfire s. which one would you pick? i'm looking for things like easily unlockable bootloader, stock android and cyanogenmod support. but those things seem to only be found in older, cheaper devices.
what would you say has the best bang of the buck and is future proof and could possibly get cyanogenmod support?
thanks,
x
I would go for the galaxy ace because it has more development.
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
yup, that's my observation so far. there's even an unofficial cm7 port for it.
until i can come up w/ an official supported device in the price class, i'm gonna tell him to go for the ace, or if possible pay 100 bucks more for the nexus s.
Yeh galaxy ace if you want to root it, wildfire s has not been cracked open yet so has very little support

galaxy ace..
samsung updates their firmware fast compare to htc..
I would go with ace.
However i found only one issue where you will need to remove the battery to get it back to work. When you enable the wifi and leave the phone idle for a long time, the screen goes blank and none of the button seems to work. You will have to pull the battery to fix it.
Lol looks like someone prefers form over function.

I was just saying that not any samsung phone could "fit the bill" .
Galaxy Ace for sure. It has more support, plus, he's 14, I'm sure he and his friends will care about the looks a lot. Teenagers are very judgmental really.
I decided to grab this today, seeing a few comments about some Nexus S users saying it works fine. It's only $5, so what have I got to lose.
It seems to crash after the title screen, phones goes all black screen and stops. Anyone else have any luck? I'm running CM7.1 with the Trinity 1.44GHz kernel. I'm going to try different rom and kernels this evening.
I'm interested in this too. We may have to use chainfire 3d?
How do you buy it if your device is incompatible?

For me it crashes on start, even before the title screen appears.

Don't see that anywhere. Only a blurb about the Galaxy Nexus. Also doesn't say if it is tegra or not either.
Lucky for me I could still refund it even after a 20 minute download of the supporting files.

Odd. I did it through the desktop market on my pc and it said it was compatible. I noticed they had like 4 different versions of the game on the market.

I sent an email to Rockstargames NY explaining the situation with FC on the Nexus S. I will let you guys know as soon as I receive a response. I would imagine it would be hard to optimise applications for every different hardware/software combination but I am pretty disappointed in RS that they didn't think to test on the NS considering it's a dev phone.
Like someone previously stated, at the time of my download there is no mention of compatibility with any specific handset so I assumed it would work. I'd say this will be fixed soon, so I won't be after a refund (happy to wait!) but hopefully they respond quickly.
Real nice on my atrix, got it working with sixaxis but the controls arent mapped so will have to work it out by trial and error. Get in/out of car is F and the analogue sticks work out of the box, hopefully someone will work it out and post a list
I bought it this morning and it runs great. I'm on a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 running galaxy task v8 and pershoots kernel oc'd to 1.4GHz. It has occasional lag but its lag that existed on the ps2. Overall I'm happy and it was £3 well spent.

Really want this game
Was just saying to myself the other day how my ns could last be with me for years to come. But being able to play this game would easily make it worth upgrading. Anyone know how the hardware compares to ps2? I would imagine it to be about the same or a little better...
Anyone care to port or help me port the Galaxy Note 10.1's TouchWiz interface. I know it is possible by removing the dependencies and everything else the apps rely on in the framework. I'd like to make this my little project if someone would kindly lend a helping hand in starting this endeavour. I would need major hand holding on this but I'm sure I can do most of the porting myself if someone would help me along the way. I'm just a Themer so I don't know much about coding, but I'm a quick learner

that would be pretty damn awesome! unfortunately i cant help at all and am completely clueless about programming
Do you wish to port the actual UI (the interface), or just port all of the apps that rely on the framework?

The UI, including the apps would be awesome as a full port. I asked a seasoned port master, Xboxfanj, from the Epic 4G forums to help along with this as a port. As soon as I hear from him on his participation in this project I'll let everyone else know so we can sync up and get this going. I *might be able to get the apps ported by myself, but I'll be sure to post back on my progress, or lack there of.
