Just a quick noobish question, maybe someone else will also benefit from having answered - where can I find the CM7 nightlies for the AT&T GS2? I know there is a link in the official CM7 thread to nightlies, but it appears to only be for the I-9100 (International) GS2 and not for the AT&T version. Is this correct? Can I flash a nightly as long as it says GS2 or must it be an AT&T version? I'm a bit confused on that one. Sorry if the question is dumb, but I couldn't find an answer for that.
I have flashed CM7 nightlies as well but they haven't put the actual builds out yet. Instead they are updating the original from the first post. The latest build is 10/25. They are using this method until they get nightlies up. Do not use the international version updates as they are not the same. It actually won't let you install it. Here is the link to the nightlies when they come:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2att
On a side note, it looks as if they just posted the first nightly! How awesome is that. Make sure to do a backup before installing from zip.

Awesome! Thanks for the response. I have ROM Manager Premium and nothing new ever shows up in it and every time I checked http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2att I never see anything...
Though now that I see your edit, it looks like it's there too! Sweet! Okay, I will be sure to check both links. Any idea why they aren't showing up in ROM Manager?
I've been trying to figure that one out to and have asked in the Dev post. I assume that since I've got the 10/25 update this is just a repackaged version of the same one. Maybe we'll have to wait until the next. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

Excellent. Definitely let me know either by PM or even updating this thread so others can find out as well.
Not that I thought it would be fixed because I'm not sure where the problem is, but I still can't get Media Hub working even on the new nightly Anyone know why that might be?

if the Media Hub app you are talking about is a Samsung app, it won't work. No samsung apps will work with CM7.

The nightly finally showed up in ROM Manager. Just select "Download ROM" with in RM and CM7 Nightly should be a choice. Working great for me so far.

Hmm.. I dont think it is. From what I understand, is that none of the Samsung apps will work because of the partition that CM7 uses. (Or something like that) Not sure exactly why but I'm 99% sure Samsung apps wont work. It was like that for my captivate also. I'm sorry I don't know the technical answer.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was included in the Epic 4G Touch version of CM7. Also, I did see a few threads that said if you want to keep Media Hub, just use Titanium Backup to port it over, just be sure to do App Only when you restore and not data. I tried that but couldn't get it to work. I'm guessing it requires some other system files, but I wouldn't know for sure. Development is not my thing.

Lol, CM7 is a joke on the Vibrant. CyanogenMod is always a step ahead of the drivers available for Samsung devices, so it will *never* work properly on a Samsung. By the time they have what they need to make it work, they're already pushing out a new "no wifi no gps no nothing useful" version. Nothing against CyanogenMod, but... Try CM7 (or any version) is never much of an answer on the Vibrant and recommending it to anyone is pointless.
That said...
Every time anyone posts a thread asking when, T-Mobile kills a kitten, Baby Jesus cries, and another week will go by before the update.

you obviously haven't tried cm7. it is hands down, by far, the best gb for the vibrant. pretty much the ONLY problem is gps doesn't work.

From the thread on CM7 for the Vibrant:
Known bugs:
You can't get into recovery/download without the 3 buttons combo. (You can't from inside the ROM, so do NOT flash if you can't use the 3 button combo.)
Problems switching between 2G and 3G when data is connected. (You may get un-reliable data.)
Compass. (works not at 100%)
Video playback may be choppy with some formats.
GPS is broken.
May have many other bugs that are unlisted.
Polling problem on RIL (Works after you lock and unlock your phone.)
USB Tethering is currently broken
Battery life has significantly improved with latest unofficial nightly (3/31) and the latest Additional kernel. See below. However, it is still not as good as stock.

hi all I was just curious if anyone knows if the new Netflix app is working on the Thunderbolt or not. I assume it would but the thunderbolt is not listed on the netflix web site as a supported phone for this app, even though 3 other HTC phones are listed and are older tech than the Thunderbolt. I tried to install it but they want me to start an account with them first and I'm not opening a Netflix account unless I know for sure this will work on My thunderbolt. I'd appreciate any information anyone has on this,.. thanks!!
there are hacked netflix APKs out there that work on the thunderbolt

The Netflix app will not work with any ROMs based off the official Thunderbolt RUUs as of now.
I was so mad when my boyfriend's Incredible would stream Netflix, and my newer Thunderbolt WON'T. He doesn't even use his phone. He fixed it so he can use wireless tethering..and uses his ipod touch! That's what made me so pissed off about it. I actually want to be able to watch Netflix on mine! Maybe one day soon =(
yeah This fairly well annoys me as well.. I purposefully bought the highest end phone I could find with the latest technology and it can't run the netflix app while the older models can,.. sounds kinda backasswards to me... really bugs me
Would love to have this working. Til then I guess I'll just have to use it on my DX

If you are rooted you can trick the app into thinking you are using one of the phones that are listed. I think i read about the trick on android central if i find the link i will post it.

Don't think so, so far its only working if your running CM7 I believe.
Has anyone on here used CM7? I loaded it one day and nothing really worked on it. I couldn't get on the internet or anything... sounds like to a waste to run CM7 just to use netflix
Netflix does work on cm7 and will be supported on the thunderbolt soon. The reason why it wasn't initially is because the phone is new and Netflix didn't have time to test it on our devices. Just give it some time and you all will be rewarded.

hi... i have been searching for a rom which is as close to stock roms provided by samsung.... read sumwhere samsung i9000's rom has been ported to vibrant but i couldnt find any... ic anybody knows anything abt this or any other gb rom with touch wiz, plz let me know...
thanks.
Using Odin to go back to stock would probably be a best way to do it, but if you're dead set on a ROM you could look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
And specifically here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24149078&postcount=224
Hopefully that link still works, but if it doesn't I think that Moped Ryder has a thread where he rehosted those files. You'll have to look around for it though.
Nice thing about that ROM is that it comes rooted, and busyboxed for you.
i want a gb rom, not 2.1 or 2.2. so i think i am stuck with either cm7 or those simply honey and simply stock roms wich are heavily themed. i dont like thems.... read a guide about porting gb roms of i9000 i think will have to giv it a shot....

I know your asking for a GB ROM but you should really move on, Chimera 1.1 is the future. Go ahead and install Chimera 1.1 ROM, if you don't like this ROM then something is seriously wrong. I would recommend Platypus kernel if you do switch over. Chimera comes with a custom installer with multiple options for kernels, apps, keyboards etc. The custom installer is awesome, you can literally set it up to install whatever you want and whatever you DONT want. www.team-passion.com is where you will find it, try it seriously! Worst thing that happens is you don't like it but its really the best ROM i have ever used, period. If you do install, choose apex launcer or even samsung launcher if you want the samsung look, the cndlauncher has problems so do not install it! O yea, 911 has been proven to work on chimera also, try it dude.

No to go too far off topic, but if you are running ANY ICS rom, you need to be aware of the risks of this bug. It doesn't descriminate. Just yesterday, someone Odin'd to JFD and flashed all the way to ICZen (which has been the least effected ROM) and got it. Fortunately he was able to somehow get it back to full working status, but if you are unaware to what this bug is, I suggest at the very least to make a backup of your internal_sd. The internal is what gets Encrypted and right now there is NO key and only a handful of people have come back from it. There is no solution or concrete cause for this bug.
Good Luck.

JBQ from Google confirmed in a post on a Google group that Android will assume any partition that doesn't contain valid data or zero is encrypted:
JBQ said:
Yup, with encryption support in ICS, Android has become a lot more
picky about having all the filesystems initialized with valid data,
and mistakenly assumes that anything that's not zero or valid is
encrypted, refusing to go any further.
In Gingerbread and before, anything that wasn't valid was expected to
be invalid, and Android would just re-initialize it, regardless of
whether it was zero or not.
You're lucky you didn't have to work with Honeycomb, where zeros were
considered encrypted.

If you read the EU threads, it's obvious life goes on post-EU. I got hit a while back, partitioned an external sdcard, and then used the emmc / sdcard swap to deal with the loss of access to my internal sd. If I get hit again, it's much easier to manage the situation with a portable ext sdcard. For one person, it was as simple as a chkdsk from a pc fixing the issue without losing any data.
Everyone's risk tolerance level will vary, but the benefits / performance and dev progression of ICS far out weigh any reason for me to consider downgrading. Imo, it's nasty, yes ... yet a manageable situation as long as you know the risks (and be proactive about backing up your data to another device or cloud acct).
Since EU, I religiously keep my TiBu data sync'd in Dropbox and consciously steer towards apps with online sync / backup capabilities, etc.
Moral of the story is ... once you go thru it, it's only as painful as how well you've heeded this man's sage advice:

Last night there were a ton of roms listed under "browse compatible roms". But now it just says "no roms were found". What gives?

goomanager is down right now.
Just download and flash the normal way
Post #5 in the maintenance thread in their forums says the following:
"Sorry for the outage.
Long story short, during the expansion of our lustre fs, the metadata for all files got nuked. Unfortunately, this is not something we can recover from. We're going to be contacting all developers to get this looked into and get files back online as soon as possible for everyone."
Sorry, I can't post links with less than 10 posts.
Goo Manager beta just came out in the Play Store.

No roms available
Since day one when i downloaded Goomanager (i also reinstalled it) after i rooted my phone with stock everything i could not use the browse compatible roms menu. It would always show up as no roms availble.
Why is that? What am i missing?
I know a lot of people are telling me just to find a rom here and flash it, but im more concerned with why this is happening and what i can do to fix it.
any help?
Thanks everyone!
I'm showing five roms so I'm not sure why you're not seeing any.
Here's what I have

Has your build.prop been modified? Which ROM are you currently using?
Stock everything and just rooted using Mr.Robinson's method of no counter increases.
Could it be there's some mismatch?

Oh threw me off didn't realize you had a Samsung phone. Try posting in the forum for your specific model. Maybe there is an issue with your S3 that they can be more helpful with.

ya, i saw the xda search led me here so i figured i'd try first.
but it doesnt seem like much help in the other forums either, i think their answer is "dont use goomanager, dl from xda and flash"
i understand that goo may not be ideal, but i wanna isolate and troublshoot the issue.
i dont see a lot or any on the s3 side, i was hoping it was more generic of an issue......
do u have any ideas?

Hmm... if you head over to goo.im you'll see under the "Browse roms be device" list that there is no mention of the SGH-i747. I'm guessing there is no dev using Goo for their ROMs on your particular model.
EDIT: After doing more research I see mentions of downloading ROMs for your phone via GooManager.. I'll keep looking around. Very strange.
Very interesting........ but my version is pretty much at&t. Do you know if they have it?
I should try asking other i747m users

Ok this is what I've gathered. i747(m) users appear to be using GooManager for installing TWRP/ROMs but downloading them elsewhere. After looking through Goo's list of devices I found the only GSIII listing to be for the International version (GT-i9300). AT&T (i747), T-Mobile (T999), Verizon (i535) and Sprint (L710) are not present in the list. Still strange but I don't think there is anyway around it, sorry!
Hmm I will have no issues if it applies to all not on list. But if they can access it. Then I'm back to square one.
Thanks for the find though! Very interesting.

I looked again, SGH-i747(m) is not in their list. But according to get.cm d2att is you're "codename" if you will. d2att is in the goo.im list. So your device is the d2att but now I'm back to not understanding why GooManager is showing no roms because clearly there are many. Maybe your build.prop needs d2att in it?
EDIT: And by "their list" I just mean the drop down box on their main page that says "Browse rom devices by:".
Hmmm that's what I'm afraid of.
Now I'm at a loss again.
How would that file, even change?

What does your "ro.product.device" say in build.prop? That's the part that should read d2att. You can always change it, reboot, try GooManager and if it doesn't work just put it back.
Threads I've read keep mentioning you need to be on the latest CWM not sure how this directly effects the whole d2att. Wish I had a GSIII to play with to figure out this puzzle... lol
