All right guys, i have searched for this topic with zero to absolutely ridiculous results. Money wise im not so up for it. but is it worth the update knowing that a new iphone is coming out, pushing Samsung for a SGS4 perhaps? i want to know what you guys think. share your thoughts with me.
Thanks in advance
Your search came back with zero because we dont allow vs. threads. If you want the phone, go but it. If you dont, then dont. If you want to talk about the GSIII then post in the GSIII forum.
Thread closed.
ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

There's a thread for the phone you have in this forum; look in the Straight Talk thread and you'll find the help you need.

I want to get rid of it cuz I have no idea what is what it can do or why it's even there I'm not a big fan of mods and if I were to mod anything i would do an extreme amount of research of how to install and uninstall with cm I have no idea what's going on

It's literally two threads down from this one. I'm sure you can find it.

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck
darkecojack send me a PM bro, I'll help you out with what you need to do step by step, even willing to help you over the phone if you want...
Sry if this is not the threat to post this but i dont know where to do it since im new it wont let me on the developers forums.
Basicly i wanna buy a note 3 and the galaxy gear however i hate touch wiz with all my heart. And ill root and install cm11 as soon as i get my hands on the phone. But my question is. Does the gear work with cm11? Or im stuck with touch wiz to use it?
Sry for my bad english btw!.
Hello Everyone!
I am an old man when it comes to this website but a young steer when it comes to posting on it, I have been lerking these forums for a while with the Droid 1,2,3,4 and now Samsung GS4 all from Verizon.
I was curious of opinions on the Ubuntu Touch Operating System... Would you like to see it come to the Verizon S4? I personally would love to. Do you think it will make it or do you think dev for the S5 will take over? Just looking to get ideas on what to do with this phone when its old and grey in a few years. I have been trying to make my D4 into a MP3 player forever but cannot find a 'simple' ROM to run it on.
Best regards,
Colton22
I know it was being worked on for different S4 variants, but there's no way to make it worked on locked bootloaders so far. I don't know if that's possible. But there's a native booting Ubuntu set up for the AT&T S4 and I think there was a version of ubuntu touch released but it wasn't near complete last I saw.
EDIT: Also, make sure to ask questions in the dedicated Q/A section

Bootloader Locked == No.
I was really curious and am still hoping to even a similar themed light weight rom. Sorry about posting in the wrong section and it has been noted

Hey, I have an old school Samsung Galaxy S SPH-D700 candy bar with a flip down keyboard and I want to find some ROMs for it. I peeked around here but can't seem to find anything that will work. It's got Gingerbread FC09 on it with Firmware 2.3.6. Any chance this thing can be hacked? I want to get down to the shell on it and just use it for some projects I have in mind. Any help is greatly appreciated. If this post is in the wrong forum let me know and I will take it down and put it in the recommended place.
Thanks.
