My i777 is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'm very excited, its my first Android. I've been researching custom firmware and stuff like that for about a month around the web. I just have no idea where to start. I believe my phone still has some form of 2.3 on it, but it could be the current 4.0.4 ICS.
From what I understand, I update the drivers on my computer with Kies, download Odin to root the device and then what? Or superoneclick? I'm interested in CM10 but I know the bugs are still being worked out. I need my camera, MMS, bluetooth, 3g data, at&t radios, mhl, Touchwiz toggles, all the functionality with no soft keys at the bottom. JB would be great if its possible. Other wise I might as well just update the phone to stock ICS and root it for other stuff I want like sixaxis and over/underclocking apps.
There is a reason we have stickies

There's things like KK 2.3.6, is that custom GB firmware? I know there is lots of information but no where to start.
pretty sure it would make more sense once you actually have the device in hand....seems pointless to create a new thread asking how to get started when you dont even have the device yet.
use it for at least a day or 2 before you start messing with custom ANYTHING
hell, dont even root it right away. just use it as is to get a feel for it, and verify there is nothing wrong with the hardware....if you just jump in and flash custom firmware, how will you ever know if an issue was hardware or firmware related?
Interesting, good point Pirateghost. I was wanting to put custom stuff on there while I had access to a computer this weekend. Might as well wait though. I'll have a laptop to mess with everything at my own pace by Black Friday anyway.
If it is still running GB, should I upgrade it to ICS, or would that hinder the root process when I want to do that?

The second part of your reply is absolutely spot on.
The first part i dont agree with a 100%.
I too plan to purchase the i777 model in the not too distant future, and its always a good thing to start reading early. Just like getting a feel of the stock rom/hardware is essential.. its always a good thing to read up well in advance. By the time a person is analyzing the h/w.. he is in a position to relate with other user's experiences.
I too was reading up all the stickies and really did got stuck up with the KK6 2.3.6 thing mentioned right at the start and no clue/legend being mentioned as to what it was. I googled a lot and many results had the same thing.. simply started using the terms w.o any hints.
It does gets confusing tbh you know
The thing is, I understand and know the stock hardware and firmware very well already. I have been using my girlfriend's GS2 from Sprint, the "Epic 4g Touch" since she got it in May. I've used it with GB and then ICS in August (I had to tell her to stop ignoring the notification, the update was a good thing!), but it will be good to evaluate the item to fully determine that everything is good with it.
It seems like in your first post, you steered yourself away from CM10, but everything you listed works except mhl I believe. And if you really want that, you will be able to dualboot into shostock once Siyah kernel gets updated.

Do the ROMS come out favouring any particular carrier?

I'm interested in project butter and all but even ics would be great as long as its not a CPU hog and laggy. I know it runs fine on the epic 4g touch.

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.

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.

Rooting the SGS2 is really easy, all you need todo is flash a kernel.
Recovery and the kernel are fused together, whenever you flash a kernel you are flashing recovery, so to get CWM you need a kernel with CWM.
No such thing as S-off (unlocked bootloaders woo!)
A good guide to everything, clickme
The modem is almost unbrickable (people have recovered form flashing a i9000 modem by just flashing a new modem)
You never need to put a .pit into odin or repartition.
The current ICS leaks are unstable and not really daily drivers.

As far as popular roms, poke around the original android section, pretty much all the roms in there are good.

Honestly I don't have any details about that OS.
Thats a pre Alpha...
For sure another "player" to this market will be a good thing. More updates, more releases, more everything.
Funny thing on that picture is that it is an International sg2 but there is an AT&T logo there. Check the pic.
That's most likely the carrier its being used with, which is perfectly normal considering the tech site is probably located in the US.
I think its a neat different Idea... Do I think it will go anywhere like android and ios? Not really (would be cool if it did).
I would flash it, but only when its ready for our phone. I would love to at least try it. Who knows it could be the next best thing since the cheese wheel!

There is a flashable zip somewhere in the original thread in the i9100 forums. I'm using it, I just don't get to use it because I have to build something which I can't do...
i777 with B2G
Boot2Gecko uses a different kernel from Android, still Linux, but with many different things compiled into it. If you go to the page with the i9100 image, you'll see a .tar.md5 image, which is really just a TAR image with some extra. You can untar it and get out the boot.img, which is the kernel. You can then use ODIN to flash the image, and if it is inoperable you can use Heimdall to flash the boot.img directly as the kernel. I stopped quickly with this because my i777 only partially worked with no radio on the last try, and it became unusable quickly. It was also getting extremely hot near the top of the unit, so I went and flashed back the AOKP image I had been using previously.
My attempts to build from scratch have been unpleasant to say the least, and it seems the Nexus is on the list of hardware along with the i9100, but the i777 and i9100g and others are not on the roadmap yet.
For those who want to know what this is, it's a Linux kernel that boots into a special version of Firefox, and then uses web documents and web standards to do everything. All of the OS is coded in HTML5/JS/CSS and has new JS implemented for controlling and using the phone's hardware. The "apps" are websites that are accessed remotely and then cached so that they do not have to be updated until the remote version changes, so the OS can upgrade extremely rapidly.
I'm looking forward to seeing this remove some of the mess made by the manufacturers and providers, and to see some much needed user control brought back into the system.
Big question since i'm brazillian, WHY BRAZIL?

Well the only thing that ever stopped me from using ics as my perm daily driver is the EU bug. I cant afford a new phone to risk hardbricking it for a better user experience.
TLDR; can i upgrade to Jellybean or am i risking getting the EU bug on that too?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
Well if you got to ICS, I think the bug is not seen in jb cause of the similarities between how they work, if it worked for ICS, it will work for jellybean. Anyway if you do, DO NOT HIT RESET. REBOOT TO RECOVERY AND SEE IF YOU STILL HAVE ACCESS. If you do have access to internal SD Odin back to stock and retry. Anyway, to flash a jellybean ROM you need to flash an ICS ROM beforehand or you will get boot looped.

I've been using Helly Bean for the last couple of days, and I can say honestly that I've never had such a great ROM installed.
I never installed ICS due to the dreaded EU bug. Scared me off. I have my fingers crossed like everyone else that it doesn't happen on JB. Maybe whatever the heck caused it has been fixed? Not sure if anyone ever discovered the exact cause.
If your looking to go to JB, definitely consider HB, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it.

I'm still working on it in the Cappy threads, but for now no one has gotten it on JB. That does not mean it won't occur.
Remember that people were getting it in the early days of ICS, only they didn't know what it was until later on when it was given a name. IIRC Jasonhunterx got it in early January shortly after the first ICS builds came out. He was actually one of the first ones on the Vibrant side.
Now some people are getting it on Galaxy Tab (older tablet versions). As always, it is up to you and still totally random.

Considering JB rom dev is still in nascent stages, it hasn't reached the critical mass ICS has achieved (with regards to the sheer number of users). Maybe EU happens. Maybe it doesn't. Still a roll of the dice.
If it does happen and you get bit, the vold.fstab emmc swap does work on JB (ie. I've tested it on HellyBean with my post-EU Vibe). The syntax is different but uses the same concept. Good luck.
Flashing Roms is a risky business as what all of the devs are saying there's a chance you'll gonna "brick" your Vib
Obviously we're here because we don't really care about the risk or i would say we are not scared of the risk.
In short, EU bug is nothing really compared to the risk we all take... the dreaded "brick"!
Been running an EU bugged phone and at this point there's really no difference whatsover in terms of UI compared to the non EU bugged phone. Except of course going thru that pain in **s process of getting your SD card working to be your Internal/external...
But after that it's all normal...
At this moment there's nothing to be scared of really, you can easily avoid it...
You can play with JB roms though it's still on it's infancy... everything is test as of the moment but there's lots of excitement...
Or you can play with the more stable ICS roms if you're coming from GB or Froyo it would be a whole new experience.
I've so far seen one report in the Galaxy Tab forums of user compuser84 asking why he was seeing the EU screen.

I got the Encryption Unsuccessful message Factory reset so I did.
Tab booted fine after that but I haven't done anything with it until I found out if this is an issue others are having.
I don't want the internal memory fried and may just go back to GB, though I really love the way the Tab runs on Jellybean.

I have a T-Mo S2 running JB, a Vibrant running JB, and a Nexus 7 running JB Paranoid Android. I haven't gotten the EU bug on any of them. I think I read somewhere that the EU bug is gone on Jelly Bean.
