Hello all.
I have searched this issue quite a bit, and I have some ideas, I just need a bit of direction.
So, I have a rooted Galaxy S2 running ICS version 4.0.3. I rooted it via Zedomax's youtube videos (I would link it, but youtube has closed his account FREE ZEDO!) Some mornings, when i wake up, I notice my WiFi is not connected and my phone is using 3G for its data. So, I go look in the WiFi list and it is on, but its not connected. I tap connect, nothing happens. It doesn't even try. I forget the network and re-enter the credentials, nothing. I reboot the phone, same thing. Finally, once i remove the battery a few times, it starts to work but not very well. I have a Netgear WNR2000V3 router. Just did a fresh upgrade/install of the latest firmware. All of my other wireless devices at home stay on and work fine. Now, i did notice that ever since i rooted when i first got my phone on version 2.3, i had WiFi issues. So my first thought is it could be my kernel? Like i said, this only happens at home. I also have the exact same router (WNR2000v3) for my staff WiFi at work and I have no trouble connecting each morning.
So, what are the steps i can take to fix this? Is this a known issues with the ATT SGS2? Am I missing something?
I would post a sreenshot of my phone info but since I'm a new user I won't be able to so here it is in text!
Model Number:
Samsung-SGH I777
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version:
I777UCLE5
Kernel Version:
3.0.15-AJ_5-14-2012_
[email protected] #2
Build Number:
IML74K.CLE5
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm not sure about your problem but for future reference don't use any of zedomax's stuff

Zedomaxs stuff is known to break wifi just flash a different kernel and I think u should be fine. Correct me if I'm wrong

Sounds good! Can you link me any certain kernel I should use? Thought I saw a thread a few days ago that had quite a bit of information on SGH-I777 kernels but of course, when I actually need it, I can't find it!

yea, google zedomax and XDA. lazy money hungry dev.
Never link anything from him here. He may be smart in some cases, but has no repsect here.
We have plenty of guides at our disposal from real devs, and user GET support from them.

If you flash a new rom it is required to wipe. It doesn't take that long to set everything up again though as long as you use things like titanium backup

When you flash a new rom you do need to do a full wipe, data cache and dalvik cache. So in essence u will lose everything so u should back up ur stuff and restore it after u install ur rom
Sent from my SGH-i777 using XDA
Ah okay. This seems the way to go then! I like the touchwiz interface so i think i'll stick with a rom that supports it if possible. No complaints, in gingerbread i hated the way it handled MMS messages, but it works much better in ICS.
Thanks for all of your help guys!

No body seems to have mentioned it but since you are rooted go to them market and get Titanium Back up. That allows you to back up all of your apps and data then restore it when you get the new ROM flashed.

ABOUT
Thanks to PreLudeDrew for getting this working. My First roms were having issues so Im using his update script and binary.
This is a stock ODEXed rom nothing more so no photos needed
Toast, PreLudeDrew, BigRustDog thanks for the great support.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Most of you don't like wiping your phone to install roms. But when it comes to that its best to just bite the bullet and get a clean install.
I will try to make roms so that you can just install on top and just clear dalvic cache.
I'm at V2 right now so if I go to 2.1 it can be installed on top with just a clear of cache and dalvic but if I do V3 then its best to wipe the phone as I have done something big for a change.
V3.x
Launcher Pro

Sense is removed

I know right, since I had to sell back my HeroC to Sprint (damn I miss that phone ) to be able to afford my 3D I haven't flashed anything to a phone in over a month. It's actually been fun though using sense again, and I'm definitely content in waiting until we get S-OFF/perm root. The wait will make it that much better.
compressed photos and movies.
then made the CPU not have to work as hard with the apps, zipaligned, and thats that.
will do more work.
woot nice to see some roms
can't wait for S-off and custom recovery

What do I need to do to install TW4.5? When I tried doing it through ADB, I got Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]. I copied it onto storage and tried installing straight on the phone, and it tells application not installed.

Two things I've noticed right off the bat.
1. My wifi keeps dropping every once in a while(had a similar problem with another rom using a 2.3.6 leak)
2. Home button has a little lag.
edit: Searched Android 2.3.6 wifi problems and I got a ton of results with people saying the same thing.
edit: flashing to something else for now. Sorry OP. Everything else looked pretty good too.
Hmmmmmm, seems ics doesn't look as nice as it should, or is it just me? Really ugly dialer setup and mms apk...what's up with neon blue being in...

Also guys, I noticed a bug the wifi will disconnect a lot. It seems like wifi range is severely limited with this firmware.
Ryude, is this the successor to UnOriginal? I'm still running 1.4.4 but it would be fitting that your ROM is the one that finally pries me away from KH7.
I think someone else asked if they could flash Entropy's kernel, but that won't work here, right? That's meant to make I9100 bases work with the I777, so call audio shouldn't work for the exact opposite reason it didn't work the other way around. Or am I way off?

Yes, entropy's kernel WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS!!! You will have a bricked phone and have to use ODIN to flash back to stock.
This is the successor to UnOriginal, seems stable but there are a couple of flaky things like wifi signal.
Seriously? At least let me enjoy 12 hours on a ROM before making me want to flash a new one..........

Yeah but just don't flash a bootloader with that, ok?
So. Is this rom any good? I really need to stop flashing things. I keep nandroiding back to UnOriginal. There is a damn good chance that holds up as the best ROM for this phone. Did anything significant come of 1.4.5 that you'd post it, or is that on hold?
I probably shouldn't be posting about your old rom in your new rom's thread. Sorry.
This looks promising Nice work ryude.

I can't say i've seen this issue but i'm usually only 25 ft away from my router and I'm on at all times when I'm home.
What router are you using and what's your security on your wifi?
Sometimes the lockscreen will freeze and you have to hold down the power button to reboot. Such is the dangers of pre-release software.

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....

yep gud rom.. but video playback is not upto the mark in this rom...
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.

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.

Dude the OP asked for something else. Stop trolling every thread with Chimera, it's like recommending a very good dentist to someone with a pain in the middle finger.

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.

I cant seem to find any change log on it. I did find this:
http://www.team-passion.com/index.php/roms/galaxy-vibrant/19-chimera-v1-1
But it doesn't indicate that 911 works. One person on a forum does does indicated that it works. Each build varies and each area varies from what Ive seen.
I have no problem suggesting an ICS ROM, but I would like to see more folks at least warning of the ICS Encryption Unsuccessful bug.

I agree with you. It's funny how you can screw your phone on ics roms without any warning. And i saw a guy reporting this bug on a passion rom and asking for help and nobody could help because they had no idea.

From what Ive read it literally encrypts partitions making odin or Jtag useless. The "fix" is actually a work around from what I see. You substitute your external sdcard for android required partitions.

I know nothing about this bug to be honest. I saw a thread named encryption bug but didn't think it was worth reading since I haven't experienced it, knock on wood.

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.

Your being an asshole, that's all there is to it. Chimera is a blend of AOKP and CM9, I figured the dude might like it so I let him know.

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:

Awesome, Thanks! Can someone post some screens when they have it installed? Also are the GApps specific to the ROM or can you use Goo for them as well?

Haven't used it but will be installing it later. I'm sure its the same as cm10 since it is based on it. It will probably run just as well.

You should check the CM10 thread such as the post below to find out about issuers before loading this ROM.
cjm2576 said:
Hi. I'm a new user of the CM10 Alpha 2 and am very thankful for the work put into it. I have encountered some issues I wanted to report. I did search the thread before posting this but it's entirely possible I missed something.
I use an app called AutomateIt to do some stuff on demand. One of those things is to enabled Bluetooth when I put the phone in the car dock. The trigger still works as the other actions I have scheduled (volume changes, etc...) still happen but BT never turns on. Oddly it IS able to turn BT off when I undock.
When I undock and turn BT off my audio appears to stop working. I no longer hear media audio nor the UI sounds when I tap. I haven't tested call audio yet to find out if that's broken. Rebooting the phone restores audio.
Apps that install themselves on the SD card disappear on reboot. I found a post where someone suggested moving these to internal, which I have done. I've had about a 50% success rate so far as some of the apps crash on launch after moving to internal.
Netflix closes immediately upon launch. Several apps close intermittently: Email, Gmail, & Flipboard are some examples.

He was asking Bout customization options I believe... check out the aokp site for details. The OP says almost all things work when it comes to customization except a couple.
Edit: here is a list of some features https://sites.google.com/site/androidopenkangproject/feature-lsit
Nice (fast) work. Unfortunately MMS is a deal breaker for me, but as soon as you've gotten that going I'm happy to test drive it.

If this is like CM10A2, GoSMS should suffice as a workaround.
