[HOW TO] Get Mozilla Firefox OS working on i777 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

YOU WILL NEED:
The B2G nandroid
Siyah JB
The b2g_i777_keyfix.zip file attached below (created/modded by myself)
1. Hook up your i777 to your PC and put it into USB storage mode (if it doesn't do that automatically)
2. un-7zip the B2G nandroid and place the b2g-0602 folder in the /clockworkmod/backup/ folder on your external SD (create the backup folder if necessary)
3. Place the two zips at the root of your SD card for easiness later on
4. Boot to CWM and install the Siyah Kernel JB zip
5. Reboot recovery
6. Follow the steps in the thread with the B2G nandroid download, although they may not work for you.
6(a). If those steps do not work, attempt to clone your current ROM to the second ROM under dual booting options OR create a nandroid backup of your current ROM (so you can easily go back to it)
6(b). After that, restore nandroid b2g-0602 from backup (this will wipe the first ROM so be careful)
7. Reboot recovery
8. flash b2g_i777_keyfix.zip to make the volume rocker work as the home key (as the capacitive keys do not work as is)
Q&A
HOW WILL I CHANGE MY VOLUME LEVELS?
You can change your volume levels from settings
IS THIS NICE AND PERFECT?
Nope, not at all. If anything this is a step down from Android currently. The DPI is screwed up, navigation is odd because of inability to use capacitive keys, lack of Google sync, and this overall isn't a daily driver.
SO WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE THIS?
I don't know? Why don't you tell me?
WHAT DOESN'T WORK?
Everything that is listed as not working in the i9100 thread, calls probably don't work, camera doesn't work, and probably many other things
WHAT DOES WORK?
SMS for sure works, WIFI works, data might work
SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS WORKED ON PORTING THIS OPERATING SYSTEM TO THE I9100!

Why not reserve a post for stuff and things.
Screenshots can be found here!
Please read this! I would not recommend flashing anything not meant for our device in heimdall or Odin. Please stick to the nandroid, where you can easily go back to recovery.

Sadly I do not know how to take screenshots in Firefox OS! I can, however, link to a thread with screenshots of Firefox OS at a similar DPI and whatnot... thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah, it's pretty interesting to say the least. Not good enough to be a daily driver (or even close), but it still works okay (no random reboots, etc.)

where is the download for this os? like the os download itself? is it on the website?

Well on the website there are build instructions for this, but really no downloads (unless you count what I believe is a desktop VM image).
Basically Mozilla uses Github and lets you pull things from their Github (via terminal) to build for your desired device.

[mod] [download fix] [ec09] [includes tsm/nameless] [7/10/11]

Here is a little workaround or fix, either way, for the EC09 download problem. I have tried it on stock EC09, replace apk and remove odex file. It also works on TSM and Nameless, I have tried it on all of them.
There are some apk's provided here that if you replace what is currently in your /system/app folder they will fix the download issues.It also makes youtube and netflix work reliably, at least in my case. I have not had others test this out, I wanted to get this out to the XDA community to try out. You have to copy these into the app folder, if you try installing it will fail, I have used root explorer, available in market (not free), and Android Commander, Google it (requires Android SDK setup) to copy these strait to the app folder. your phone will vibrate through most of this it's just complaining about the change. Now for what you really want, the files, ok fine here they are. Please feel free to post results, good or bad, here.
Download Provider APK
Download Provider UI APK
DRM Provider APK
DRM UA APK
SEC Download Provider APK
Security Provider APK
BTW: after every reboot i get a DRM has stopped working message right as everything finishes loading, just click on the Force Close. It only seems to happen on boot and after you close it the app will work fine.
Now you can also get this in a flashable zip courtesy of BakedTator, thanks for the hook up on that.
Download Fix Zip File
OK Devs, Hope these help y'all figure out whats wrong with our leak, if not PLEASE feel free to use these.
And an extra little treat, Netflix from the market works even though it isn't available to us yet, so here it is, non modded downloaded and tested with all EC09 builds, and it has worked on every one of them for me.

Meh, if this zip isn't flashing a kernel then it can be flashed pretty much immeditately after commrom. The system update text that flashes everywhere is produced by redbend_ua during kernel flashing. bmlwrite doesn't do that. Soo flashing this after flashing the should be fine.

I haven't tried this for the Photon yet, but disabling boot animation on the Touchpad simply gets rid of the unicorn animation and replaces it with a more generic boot animation.
Better if you don't want your homophobe buddies to see =P.
Just download the droid razr boot animation zip and replace in /system/media. Or use one of my cm9 ones .

The boot tweaks does open and items are selectable however after you leave that screen the settings revert, there is no way to save settings.
And finally I was not able to find where I could change my default storage settings between internal sd and external sd.

[ITUTORIAL][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

ViperDNA ROM Discussion & Support Thread​
Due to the popularity of the ViperDNA rom, and wanting to better assist the users, we are opening this thread to allow for non development related questions and discussion, support questions, advice, help and how to, all that good stuff.
I am not the developer of ViperDNA, I'm simply maintaining this thread so that the main developer is not overwhelmed with too much general discussion and not able to focus on the development aspect of the rom. Many of you know me, my niche has been and will continue to be trouble shooting, support, and helping new users get started in the custom world of Android.
In the thread, you can post questions about installations, discussions of potential bugs as well as user errors, and general Q&A related to the ViperDNA ROM. I will be updating this OP to look much better, and will also be adding sections and subsections with important links.
I urge all of our users to participate and help out with this thread, this is a community effort not just me alone.
ViperDNA 1.2.0 Info
ROM NEEDS A CLEAN INSTALL
Instructions for Clean Install.
Note S On users will want a copy of rom zip on their computer desktop and a copy on the DNA's sdcard, s off only needs the rom zip file on the sdcard
1. Make a Nandroid backup just in case
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe these INSIDE recovery: Factory Reset, System, Dalvic cache
4. Choose the flash zip menu and select zip file from the sdcard and install the rom
5. S-Off users say yes to the reboot after installation is complete.
*5b. S-On Users will need to extract the rom zip file in a desktop folder and find the file boot.img and copy to their working adb/fastboot folder (For me it would be C:/Android-sdk/Platform-tools)
*5c. Right click while holding shift, in a blank space in the folders where fastboot.exe is located and choose "open command window here" from the right click menu
Run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes and press enter when its done type "fastboot reboot" without quotes and press enter.
That's It, Setup is Complete
Note: Factory Reset in recovery means wiping the data partition except for media (internal storage, or sdcard) and wiping cache.
Radio and Firmware Information: You do not have to be on the latest firmware (2.04) to flash Viper 1.2.0. I recommend that you achieve s off and try the 2.0.4 radios if battery life is a concern especially because one will work better for your unique phone's hardware and network, signal strength and usage pattern.
Kernel: ONLY RUN THE KERNEL THAT'S INSTALLED IN THE ROM. Zone also has a stock 2.04 kernel posted in the android development section.
Do NOT run custom kernels with this rom until custom 2.04 kernels available, which will be after HTC releases the kernel source.
1.2.0 Important Tips
For instant help you can use the IRC Channel: http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=#droid-dna
Just click on Docnok63 and select PM
For Google maps to work you need to open settings/location and check to enable the new Google location settings. There's now four options instead of three.
Another one for Install Instructions

Im having the same problem and after some research it looks like people are having the same issues on stock and custom roms.
I'm using stickmount pro. What I've found is that after unmounting or removing the device a reboot is required because my apps go haywire. The only time I've seen similar issues is when people use something like apps2sd and their phone boots before the sdcard is mounted, so the shortcuts on the homescreen or widgets disappear and the app force closes all over the place and disappears from the app drawer.
Obviously the problem with us is not because the apps are installed on an external directory, but the symptoms are very similar.
I will be doing more research and its going to be a focus of mine. I'll keep you guys and gals updated and would love to hear any input or see links that you run across involving DNA and OTG.
Something else with OTG is that when I unmount the USB drive in stickmount, and then I unplug the drive, I get the warning message about the drive being removed while in use or something like that. So its almost like stickmount isn't unmounting, it just thinks its unmounting, and that improper unmounting is what sends the directories haywire.

I get an error on connecting otg about not being a valid charging source. On disconnect, several processes crash, which trace to specific apps, including Battery Monitor Widget Pro, Pure Messenger and Gmail Label Notifier. If I disable those apps, then no crash, so I'm pretty sure this is not ROM related.

You really don't have to worry about it. Worse thing that would happen is that it auto downloads, it can't install on a custom recovery. And 1.1.3 has the ota removed so you don't even have to worry about it installing.

Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure.

Thank you very much, the same as I am use to really. I do have my system backed up, as well as Titanium Back UP for apps and data. So should be fine. I do have the N5110

No problem, shouldn't be too different than what you're already used to, but I can understand the need for clarification when it comes to different devices as they're all a little bit different.
OK, on 4.2.2, no problems at all after I found how to turn debugging mode on. THAT IS STRANGE

Then tap the build number 7 times. As you are getting close to 7 taps, the screen will tell you how many more till you are in development.

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!​
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.
You wanna post garbage or talk about who's gonna do what, then go to the main Android "Off Topic" forum.
Thread cleaned. (please don't make me come back in here again)
MD
Thanks for the deodexed, recovery flashable rom. I just flashed it and got everything set up. So far everything is running great.

[MOD] Google Play Service Fix for Sense ROMS

Hello All,
If you are running a sense rom and having problems with google apps, YouTube, Maps etc with the google play service not installing. Well here is a fix for that.
How to Install?
1.) Download update.zip and place on root of SDCard
2.) Reboot into recovery
3.) flash update.zip
4.) Wipe both caches
5.) reboot
6.) update google apps, and install Play services
Hopefully this helps anyone having problems with this. I have tested this on vigor360, but i don't see what it wouldnt work on other sense roms.

Care to describe what the update does?

Yeah...its just replacing the package.xml file in the /data/system directory. The reason people are having problems is the gms or Google Play Services didn't have permission in that file or more simple put all the gms lines are missing from the file So when you went to install it. It checks the file and because the gms stuff isn't there it denies it or you get that shared id error. All this file does is add the gms lines needed for Google services nothing else is changed or modded.

I was having some problems with google maps, so I flashed this just to see what happens. On reboot I was greeted with a few FCing apps, and several apps that seemingly had their data wiped/reset. Some of my android settings reverted to default but not others.
Nandroid before you flash this zip.

Can you give more information...what ROM are you running, what carrier, are you running any mods or scripts, anything that might give a clue as to why this change might cause your symptoms. I'm interested in reloading some of the older ROMs on a couple spare Rezounds I have (just for the hell of it really) so I'm interested in your experience but I need more information.
Are you sure you had a good download?
Any more information would be a start...

Haha, I read your post before the post above it and wondered what about my post made you so "tired of the bull." I'm on sun_dreams ICS 4.04 Sense4+ ROM. Not the version posted in the forum, but an earlier version from May. Verizon. Sure, I've got a bunch of init.d scripts, but I just looked through all of them...nothing that I think would influence this. Here's my packages.xml: https://www.dropbox.com/s/px2hg2gp4wj6eyz/packages.xml

Haha I see where that would be confusing. I thought the same thing when he posted and I saw tired of the bull..I was like wtf lol. Anywho thanks I'll look into this and see if I can get it working. Would you happen to have a copy of the ROM your running? If not no worries

OK the issue seems to be dirty flashing related. If its a clean install this works perfect. If its a dirty flash it doesnt work as well it does work but seems to have issues. I'm working on fixing that so no matter what it will work. Should be updated tonight

Echo the needed lines to the XML? Or maybe add them in using sed ?

Yup that's what needs to happen. The thing is they need to go in a certain area within the file so I'm doing a little testing to make sure it doesn't screw up. Theres one other thing I'm gonna try is using the permissions folder and creating a separate file and add it to that directory instead of the package.xml

Maybe do a sed replace string alongside a cat of a text file.

So was this updated? I'm having an issue where Google Hangouts force closes after a while and won't stop until I uninstall and reinstall it, so I was thinking about giving this a try. I think Hangouts ran for 6 days this last time before it started forceclosing.
