Changing screens - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I just bought a used working 777.It has a cracked screen.I aim to replace it screen(been doing that with cappys).I haven't got the phone in hand yet but am reading up on it.Was wondering if 9100 screen is compatible?
Ive been playing around w/captivates for a couple of years.I've enjoyed that phone.Just bought wife new 777.Thought I'd experiment with one.This phone supposedly has supernexus rom.On my cappys have prefers CWM7.2
with glitch kernel.Prefer gb Tom's,at least on captivate.Would CWM 7.2 run well on 777?
Can't wait to start playing with the 777.Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.thnx,rbb1robert:thumbup:

On the i777, recovery is in the kernel. I think the latest CWM I've seen on here is 6.0 and minor revisions of it. As for the screen fitting, it likely would, but I would look into it more first.

The screen for i9100 has a hole where the physical button is, which the i777 does not have. So I would say no. Even if it did work you wouldn't have a home button....I haven't tried cm 7 for the i777. I personally use captivating x4 Rom which is based off of cm 10.1 with ajk kernel.

Thnx for replies.
I got the used 777 in hand today,so,so starts the fun!It works with the cracked screen,so that will be when I find deal on screens.
I'm assuming this phone came stock w/gb like my wife's phone.Now it has supernexus.My ? is,can u tell if it has gb bootloaders?My first thought is Odin/simply stock.Then flash corn kernel for cwm.From there root and flash.
If this phone is as indistructable as the captivate,it should give me hours of experimenting.
Again,thnx for the replies.rbb1robert

Black screen crash in middle of nothing

Guys two days ago I got s2 with Samsung exyonus cpu . That's great!
But I had random black screen to get arid of it I had to reboot.
Happened once with original ROM I think after a call...and now happened just out of nowhere with custom 4.1.1 ROM from xda...
Ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I think for now most, if not all 4.1.1 rom available for S2 are not stable yet. So either go back to earlier version or get use to it.
I did found on google some ppl had it on stock as I had too... any ideas?

Best GB ROM?

Hey everyone,
I'm noticing a bad loss of connectivity on my Note, currently running Black Star using Blaze 4G modem (was on UVLK1 before). It seems like it keeps losing signal, the bars are there, the '4G' is there, but it won't communicate. No texting, no web, no calls (they disconnect immediately). Both modems are doing this.
The only way I am getting around it is to pull the battery + SIM, put back and reboot. That is only a temporary fix as the problem returns. I did not notice this when I first bought the phone (used), and it was running stock GB.
What is the best GB ROM out there now? I am really desperate to try anything and would like to flash a different ROM next...I would try CM9 but I heard there is no S-Pen with it since AOKP.
Thanks!
Flappjaxxx's will prolly be your answer. You want a semi,well mostly stock rom with everything working then this is it.

This is the one rom that since I've put on my phone I've never taken off in case I had a problem...I know its there and keeps me from worrying

sharky got it...
but i'd like to suggest that you try flashing the stock GB UCLA1 modem, and try it out with the ICS Rom.
I've had great success using this modem on virtually all of the ICS roms i've tried...
It can be found in the "note everything" thread, or in the first few posts of Flappjaxxx rom i believe..
It is a CWM zip file, so no odin or kies is needed.
Here it is....

Good luck, and happy flashing......g
No better GB ROM than Saurom 7.1.

If you need S-Pen then go FlapJaxxx' Samsung ICS build. Forget about GB and welcome the new smoothness.

It seems great so far except I still can't encrypt my phone so I can add my corporate email.
No reboots....yet... that was my only issue really. Hope it's actually stable :good: looks like I'm gonna be waiting a while for the nexus 4 so it's good to have this phone stable in the meantime
Still has the freeze the first time it uses a custom ringtone bug but I've worked around that by simply making ogg versions and copying them into /system/media
Haven't gotten a reboot yet and hopefully that'll last.
I had an issue of not being able to hear on first call I made. Rebooted and it was fine. Hopefully the random reboots are cured. I'd hate to have to go back to an ICS rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
This is pretty good. No reboots, a couple quirks, most importantly however NEED FOR SPEED: MOST WANTED is actually the most playable on this Rom!
12 hours of average use on my part and running solid. I'm impressed and am thinking of sticking on this version for a while...
For those of you that use MHL adapters, does HDMI work now? I didn't have any luck on any JB roms including CM10 builds. I know i should try for myself but it doesn't hurt to ask, and id rather save myself the 2 hours of re downloading all my apps. Thanks

very solid for me as well and i have been using it since yesterday morning. I tried liquid smooth rc8 today and went back to stable cm10.
No reboots yet on stable.. Nice! :good::good:
Had my first reboot just now NOOOOOO, but it did last longer than other roms I have used. It rebooted when I wanted to make a call and the moment I pressed the phone icon. Phone hangs and reboots =(. I think though I am going to stick with this Rom. It's still pretty solid.
I got reboots about once every 8 to 12 hours... annoying enough I went back to a late October nightly build, more other misc issues, but is not rebooting me.
I hope eventually a Dev can look at what changed in the first couple days of November and figure out what's causing these reboots.

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

No it will not. Make sure you use the correct kernel.

Ended horribly lol. Phone wouldn't go past load screen. Had to reinstall the Rom. Oh well, after the wipe the whole thing seems more stable.

That should have worked for you as long as you were on Blackstar X and not xi
It was definitely x. It was getting buggy and unstable though. Not sure why, maybe i restored too much w ti. This round im doing all fresh installs.

I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:

Note 2 newb just unlocked

Hi guys, I am very new to the Note 2. I just unlocked and rooted the latest ota using Casual. Thanks to Adam Outler and everyone else involved. So my question is which ROMs are compatible with this ota? Basic question I'm sure. I came from the Razr and the kernel had to match so I assume its the same here? Anyone willing to shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
Any rom you want as long as it is in the VZW Note 2 threads can be flashed ours arent locked down by what update we are on because our bootloader is unlocked where it isnt on Moto phones. AOSP roms require AOSP kernels as TW roms require TW kernels. The roms come with kernels though so that isnt something tk worry about unless you I want to.
The only thing to remember is if you go to a 4.2 rom and want t I go back to 4.1 you have to flash a downgrade zip so your SD card doesnt become corrupted. You can find the downgrade zip in the Official CM 10.1 thread in the OP.
Check out Droidstyles guide in Android Development, its a sticky, it explains quite a bit and would ne helpful to you I think.

Thanks for the info. Exactly the answers and info I was looking for. I just flashed CleanROM and went through the flashing process. When it got to the end and said finish to reboot it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Couldn't get to recovery or download mode. I had to pull the battery and then turn it on. It went straight to the new ROM though without a hitch. Is that a normal part of the flashing procedure on the N2? The battery pull I mean, or did I miss something?

Thats not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. As long as it boots up after the battery pull I wouldnt be too worried by it. I have had it happen to me before and after the battery pull I experienced no issues whatsoever.

CleanROM's good. It was the first ROM I flashed when I got my Note II too.
Eventually though, you may want to switch to something more feature-rich like Jelly Beans, which is what I'm rocking now. The features it adds are pretty awesome and you get full touchwiz functionality (S-Pen and the like) with the look of AOSP.
DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Hi all, I'm feeling like a n00b on the Note too, and really appreciate the help all of you seem to be willing to share with each other. I'm not new to modding phones, recently I've been through an S3, DNA, RAZR HD and M, and even another Note 2. I made the mistake of swapping the Note 2 for an iPhone 5, and regretted it about thirty seconds later. Now that's my wife's phone, and due to the grace of another (local) xda member, I'm back rockin' the Note 2. This time around in looking forward to getting into some serious flashing and tweaking to get the most from the hardware. I've decided this is Verizon's best phone at the moment, with everything I need.
Don't worry, you're not alone in having a wife who gets annoyed at flashing and tweaking. Happens to me all the time, but I use the excuse it's one of the few hobbies that I have which doesn't involve the rest of the family and I need a bit of alone time. It kind of works as an excuse until the point where I need to use it again.
I'm looking forward to being part of this community and wanted to say hello.

I like jedi X rom...I got 3 days off my battery with just the right settings...my recommendation is to not mess with the per app dpi for the settings app because now I'm stuck without a settings app and about to switch roms...just about any rom will work as long as it's for your carrier... Best of luck!

Beans is the best! photosphere camera (page 1 of forum) works great with build 16! Check it out! Also, I agree about Jedi: definitely magic battery settings. Enjoy your new hobby! My wife is the same way.
