ICS: What exactly is the problem? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

First off, I'm not looking for an ETA and not complaining. These devs are working free of charge and I could not ask for anything else.
I just want to know what is holding our device back from getting ICS ROMS. The International GS2 i9100 is getting ICS ROM after ICS ROM being pumped out for it. Why is the i777 one of the few phones that just don't even have betas out for it.
If someone could clear this up, that would be great.

The kernel source code. This could have easily been answered by using the search function. Not flaming just a little helpful advice. Welcome to XDA great to have you. But hopefully we will eventually get source.

The biggest issue is that the Search button is broken on all of the ICS releases. Hopefully they will fix it soon and we can get some ROMs to play with

Did you just join xda and want to get your first post?? Please READ before posting!

Calling all Galnet miui users

Guys I really need some help pls! I'm not new to androids and have pretty decent knowledge of flashing and the general consensus on how androids work. However this is my first sgs2 phone trying to install galnet miui. I have failed consistently, as I have probably done 20 full wipes and installs of this rom and just can't get it right. I don't know where else to look and ask. I really like this rom and here are my problems. Everything installs just fine. Boots up fine. I just cannot make any phone calls!! I can rcv calls but when I answer it they cannot hear me. I've tried everything from different kernels to every different way of installing. I tried flashing the radios but it'll give me an error when I try to flash. When I flash a new radio with the miui.us fom it works fine. Also the 4 buttons on the phone only the home button and menu button seem to work. I cannot use the back button and search button. Are these purposely disabled? Please guys I'm begging you haha it's so damn annoying. I've posted on the galnet forums and it's dead over there. So if anyone can give me some insight. By the way I'm coming from an atrix 4g that was running oc/uv kernel at 1.4 ghz and cm7 and the sgs2 is just miles ahead! Thanks again guys (for listening to my whining in) advance.
By the way am i downloading the correct version of the rom? On their website I'm downloading sgs2 i900. I don't see anything else for our I777. I figured this would work as I saw the locked thread in here for the galnet rom.
Galnet was banned from XDA for a variety of reasons.
You'll have better luck finding an answer on their forums, they roms are not supported on XDA any longer.

I think something to do with not changing out the kernel that comes stock with miui (which breaks the gpl) and there might have been more but I'm not sure

Multiple rule violations - warez (GPL violations), claiming others' work as their own, apparently using XDA for commercial purposes, other things
On a brighter note they're now supporting our phone

Good news from the ICS ATT SGSII front (Better news for Skyrocket)

RootzWiki has broken news that they have a leaked official 4.0 for the ATT SGSII Skyrocket.
Interesting fact: build date is March 14.
Good news for us... I can only hope so. Just wanted to share this little tidbit with the SGSII world.

just how I said a months ago, Skyrocket and Vivid are getting ICS before the i777, the source release helped but still not a fully functional.

And we're already aware the ****rocket got an ICS leak that was useless to us. Thus this thread is useless because it's redundant - the OP is yet another person who broke the XDA rules and posted without searching. The ****rocket ICS leak has already been discussed numerous times in other threads, it is NOT news and does NOT justify creating yet another new thread so that you can get "omg I have my own thread on XDA!!!" cred.
We're about a week out of kernel sources, and we already have ICS in a better state than that leak. The only things that remain are polishing and NFC, and the polishing part would be required even if we'd gotten official ICS at the same time as the I9100 - it simply takes time to do a proper kernel on a new source base for a completely new Android base.
NFC may require an official I777 ICS release, or maybe just a bit of hacking to get the M250S/K stuff working on I777. If I can get the M250 stuff working on I777, there's a good chance I can get it working on CM9 at that point too.
Redundant thread is redundant.

SGS III ported to SGS II?

Does anyone think the new leak of the Android 4.0.4 Rom from the SGS III will get ported or even work for an SGS II? I downloaded it anyhow, all 785MB of it!, LOL
I don't think the entire rom will be ported, just a lot of its features will. 99% of xda hates bloat so we just have to wait and see man.
For any devs reading, I cast a vote for porting the rom in its entirety.

the whole rom will never be ported. parts will be eventually.
Only the necessary of the rom will be ported... I love custom ROM's. It' sooo free and incluse 0% bloatware!
Probably. Maybe. Should be. The point is, we dont know because it hasnt happened yet. When the rom leaks out, we may get part or the whole thing. It might require hardware that we dont have on our phone, we dont know.
So, speculation threads arent really kept around, but if you all can play nice and not post dumb things, Ill let this stay open.

I think most of it or a light version can be ported over but I really doubt a full version will. Even more with the new hardware that beast is sporting.
Then again only the devs know.
I know the HTC roms were ported all over the place, like a 2 dollar hooker.
Hope we can see that happen here.
*waves around 2 dollars*
transmitted from the Dark Obelisk
Yesterday (earlier today) I tried a dirty port by copying most of the important folders but no luck there just bootloop.
Hopefully we can get many of the cool stuff ported over.

Do YOU think we'll get ICS 4.1 "Jelly Bean"?

Hello,
Simple question:
Do you think we guys with our evo'S will ever get the 4.1-Android "the official way"?
idk what you guys have it with "official", our devs work hard to give us unofficial stuff and i think we should appreciate that more.
i'd love to see a JB unofficial (if even) for our htc evo 3d gsm.
No.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Sprints already given up on the 3D, I'm going to say no.
Nope, we will never ever see an official JB Update.
Short answer....absolutely not
At this point we will be lucky to see ICS 4.0.
A 4.1 JB Official release is a pipe dream, not going to happen.
Lord, not another one of these "do you guys think we'll get," threads.
At this point we will be lucky to see ICS 4.0.

I see ICS on my 3devo every day, thanks to the developers. ;-)
I don't think we'll see an official JB OTA, but I really hope we see an ICS OTA and source release. If we get the updated kernel source, XDA will produce a JB daily driver.
there have been over 15 threads in this one section on the same question in the last 3 days. hmmmm interesting.
ICS and JB seem to be similar to each other that ud hope it could just be upgraded without much work... but you forget that most of us are now running Sense 3.6 and that would have to be worked on as well. given that only this device a few others even have sense 3.6 the answer is clearly that ..
it will never occur.
im sure project butter and even 90 percent JB roms will be made... if anyones working on it, hope they speak up
Well hopefully everyone that's thinking of creating another thread like this will be able to comprehend the answer is "NO" (In Our Opinion), and be able to resist. Cuz seriously, these type threads just clutter things up for everyone, and help no-one.
No offense to OP.

We have about 10 threads like these.
You can follow me on Twitter - @NotSo1nter3stin
I say we just ban all thread starters of this topic for the next month. If you all notice.. ever single one of these threads were started with someone with less than 25 posts. admins need to enforce the rule that no one can post until 25 posts. make them actually use the site first.

I think we can be a little harsh on people asking an innocent question who don't know all the ins and outs and drama of these boards.
He didn't ask for an ETA, he asked if there was any word.. and he got the answer that told him it's being worked on and several others being borderline rude.
Man.. these boards are a wealth of information but sometimes, I shake my head at how people treat each other.

Cm9 for us seems go be very stable since no known bugs have been posted by the devs but the installing of it is weird since cwm touch can't be used and my experience.with Cm9 was tht as.soon as I installed it my.external.sd card went "missing" meaning the system didn't detect it had to go to stock bc all of mybackup root couldn't b Initialized.

What he asked is in the realm of an ETA. It's a useless thread. People are harsh because crap like this clutters up the forum for no good reason. Also, it puts pressure on the developers, when we should just leave them develop in peace, as that will allow them to get jb working sooner.

And you can't say people asking for stuff doesn't put pressure on the devs, as we've already had two top notch devs leave xda due to people asking too much of them and posting stupid stuff. If people don't learn the in's and out's of xda, more devs will follow.
