I've been reading all the rom topics, and the info is spread out a bit, and some of it is a bit vague...
My question: Which custom roms currently, and properly, support the A4G fingerprint scanner, AND have a *fully* implemented bluetooth stack? (phone, messaging, audio)
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Any CM7 or Blur Based Rom (for the moment)

If I read correctly, CM7 wont work with a lapdock due to the lack of webtop. So it sounds like any blur based rom is going to be the ticket. OK, more reading to do!
Thanks
I missed the fingerprint scanner for a while, after upgrading to CM10.. But now I really prefer the face detect security waaay more than the fingerprint scanner. Would be nice to have both choices available though.
Yeah I know face detect is not as secure is it could be, but it's good enough for me.

can someone pls, help which ROM (obvious that all are great and better than orig and not better than the other) to chose for using the device for its standard function.
so, i expect flawless operation along the menu-s and fuctions, priorities:
-phone and phonebook
-emails, sms messaging and web access
-bluetooth to headset
-gps if possible
-the weather function
-somewhat working camera for still pics.
not intersted in fancy backgrounds speed of the display, milisecs of the gps and the device for games and gadgets utube etc.
would appreciate a list or mention one or the other cooked roms for the above.
cheers,

thanks, Shazad appreciate. Wonder if all agree ?
I don't think I quite understand your question. You're not concerned with speed, or anything like that - so why not stick with the stock ROM?
Every ROM that is not stock will (or from what I've noticed) have a couple bugs. If it's not a bug, then it's some slight annoyance that may or may not be the deciding factor as to whether or not you flash that specific ROM. They are works in progress. The stock ROM, albeit is mind numbingly slow, is free from bugs.
Disable TF3D and bam, there ya go! Instant speed.

no TF3D and smooth opeartion without slowdowns, freezes and soft resets with any ROM available? again, basic phone, text, email massaging and not utube and other not really phone related needs.

The first non-Samsung ROM for the SGS2! This is 100% stock AOSP from Google.
What works:
- It boots up.
- Stock launcher.
- OpenGL
- Vibration
- Phone Radio (Incl SMS)
- Internal Storage / SD Card
What doesn't work:
- Wifi, Bluetooth
- Sound.
- Cameras.
- Sensors.
This is at least a proof of concept of how AOSP can work on the SGS2.
Installation:
Warning: Don't do this unless you know how to use Odin or have time to learn. You won't be able to make phone calls until you flash back a Samsung firmware!
Also, this is a custom kernel, so you will have the yellow ! on your device after flashing this (same as root).
All of your data will be lost - backup first!
Download the .7z file from http://www.mobile-dev.co.za/I9100_AOSP_V2.7z
Unzip using 7zip or similar.
Flash the .tar file with Odin:
- Default settings, touch nothing
- Load I9100_AOSP_V2.tar as PDA
Put phone into download mode (Voldown+Home+Power after turning off device), connect with USB, press Start.
The device should then boot up into AOSP. When finished playing around, flash back a stock Samsung firmware (from http://www.samfirmware.com/ or other). You may need to go into recovery mode to use the 'format data' option. (Volup+Home+Power)
If you have fun with this, feel free to donate - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...=PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted
If you want to help out with porting, give me a shout! We could form up some kind of SGS2-AOSP team.
Swweeeeeeeet love aosp and seeing one for my loved phone makes me hyperventilate

Did you try to use the stock kernel with the AOSP build? You may get lucky and get some radios/hardware working.
Interesting... Did you manage this with Samsung's little bit of "platform" sources they give?
I'm around, though not that good with AOSP tbh... I still prefer to take a binary and hack it, than to compile from sources
Just gonna set up an AOSP tree on my server and have a play

Just needs a little tinkering in the init.rc, probably. This version is 100% AOSP, except for mounting the partitions using EXT4 instead of yaffs2 (obvious reasons). So this is a "no samsung code at all" ROM.
Little bit of tweaking should have wifi working without much trouble - no idea about the rest. Not really sure why I'm the first one trying this, to be honest!

Nope - 100% AOSP code. It's all just userland, after all. The Samsung "platform" sources are just the changes they made to GPL software, I guess?
And yeah, that was the point of this - for some reason I was seeing nobody playing with AOSP/CM - this will hopefully get more people involved.
Wow, nice! Are you going to continue developing this ROM or was it just made as a proof of concept?

No known exploits for the SGS2 yet, so not right now...
Security researchers have found some though, but nobody is disclosing any right now.
Progress on getting the radios working:
Nice big error about RILD, etc. The radio seems to be very different from the SGS1 (or any other hardware I know of...) If anybody has any ideas...? Otherwise, will have to try reverse engineer it or something? I hope not!

I noticed that the rild binary is very different to the one that you end up with if you built it. Have you tried using the stock rild binary and even libril.so?
Also, would it be too much to ask that you show us your vendor overlay (the boarconfig, device and other mk files)?
Thanks.

REALY LOOKING FORWARD TO AWSOME AOSP/CM ROMS SOON
Is there battery drain?
After Searching the forum i could not quite find this answer though maybe i suck at searching.
I am about to aquire an ATRIX and hope to load the alien rom, install the huspa fix, use it to shoot 1080p video, and my first video will be blending my iPhone4.
However before I can do any of that I want to know if I have to sacrifice fingerprint based login to my phone to do so.
I have been lead to believe by the increasingly vague internets that instead of using a numeric code or remembering a drag sequence on my phone screen I can just log in via my finger print.
Will I have to sacrifice that Feature inorder to enjoy a rom that doesn't lock my purchases or force me to use moto blur.

No. Alien rom is still blur.
As of now, only blur based roms support the scanner. Hopefully we will see it implemented into any android version that makes its way onto the ATRIX .

You won't lose fingerprint scanner with Alien ROM.
Also, the 1080p recording mods which are floating around will not give you consistent 1080p recording. You will be better making do with the stock 720p recording.

True, but the fingerprint sdk was released recently so we'll see where this goes!
I noticed there was no active development that was trying to get the standard AOSP build working, which I really would like to use as my day to day ROM....so I decided to give it a shot. Feel free to help
I use the Ninphetamine kernel and a clockwork recovery initramfs. The initramfs has been altered and will not boot with other ones. This is because of a missing socket that the older init.rc doesn't make.
I'll be using the next post to describe what I'm working on and update it with any useful info I find.
Currently it's in an unusable state, here's where it stands:
Working
Making calls
SMS
Audio
Internet (Data Connection)
Note: When you open browser, it will crash because google's home page try's to use location services, you need to navigate away quickly in order for it not to crash.
Proximity Sensor
Internal Storage
microSD Storage
Vibration
Camera
USB Transfer with Internal Storage
Untested
Other Sensors
TV Out (doubtful)
Not Working (yet)
WiFi (don't even turn this on, it will reboot endlessly) <-- working on it
Camcorder
Bluetooth
GPS
USB Transfer with microSD (not a huge priority)
I know that cyanogenmod is pretty darn close to AOSP and that I'm duplicating work, but I'm doing it anyways.
If you want to try it out:
Binaries:
CWM Kernel Zip
CWM AOSP Zip
Note: Obviously you need to wipe.

AdamG has made devnull (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183063&highlight=devnull) which is basicly the AOSP build. Some stuff not working though as the CM7 team has not managed to get audio over bluetooth working.
He has also started the Oxygen development. The oxygen thread is here: http://www.forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/1591-ROM-AOSP-GRJ90-2.3.5-Oxygen-v2.2.1
Good to hear others working on this too, hope you manage to get bluetooth audio issue sorted and perhaps help other AOSP / CM7 devs with that issue.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about that one. I'll be leaving it completely stock AOSP though (when it works well anyways). Might speed things up for me a bit. I am doing this as a sort of hobby too, interesting to learn how it works.
EDIT: It WILL speed things up a great deal....DevNull did some great work.
search for the Oxygen ROM on google.
it's a rom for SGS2 where everything works, and it's only AOSP.
http://forum.oxygen.im/index.php
All the same, great work mate, we need more AOSP ROM's, since AdamG has taken a break due to personal reasons it's nice for another dev to take the helm.
Good luck mate, all the best.

AdamG did great work yes but it does not preclude to new AOSP roms.
Keep your respected work.
Edit: If AdamG had taken a break, maybe you should think to fork devnull. This speeds up work and you can focus another thinks etc A2DP and tvout. Its open source
I have been using CM7 as well as Devnull/Oxygen and I felt Oxygen was very stable, while CM7 26 was the most stable for me while 31 made my me turn back to Oxygen.
My sincere request, kindly take over from where Adam left Will be a great boon for us!

If you want no lags at all, stay with stock rom gingerbread 2.3.4
If you want to use a later version of android just try it and you'll see it's nearly stable with just a few lags/bugs. And I think you should first try the rom before saying it lags

Both LXP 4.2.2 or 4.3 are good for performance.If you really want lagless gaming try to run minimum background apps. Because many background apps eat a lot of ram.

erm - no -- not kidding:
The project page points to:
legacyxperia.github.io
which further refers to:
the page github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/wiki/CM10.2-kernel-3.4-status
The buggy - non-working list is:
Buggy:
Wifi (interruptions)
Wifi hotspot (interruptions)
Not working:
720p video recording is disabled (low frame rate & save ~22MB of RAM)
FM radio (audio is not working)
HDMI
For details, see the issues
I've used a lot of Rom's -- tried a few -- but haven't tried one which says the wifi is buggy. I was looking to see if someone had used it as their daily driver and had a glitch now and then -- or whether wifi works occasionally but mostly doesn't.
While I appreciate that a lot of people ask a lot of questions without trying anything themselves -- but that doesn't mean that every status or experience question is unwarranted, eh?

Yeah, I'm running Zelly Cream 3.01 at the moment -- it doesn't have google now -- but voice search, navigation and dialing all seem to work pretty well. So I think I'll give this a few months and see how it goes. What I really want is an Xperia Ray w/ 2core cpu and ~ 4x the storage -- selling for about $200. I'd buy four. If gogole can sell a Nexus 4 for $200 --- sony should be able to make money on an updated Ray for $200.
