another edit. Sorry for this. like I said earlier. total noob here. But I must say, for only doing this for a few hours, I am getting it. Got my phone rooted and now reading and reading and reading again to see if I want to put CYANOGEN 10.1 on here or not. The nightly release worries me a bit. How often do you have to install new builds? I also see the CYAN 9.1 stable release is there to download. Thats ICS right? Is that better at the moment than the 10.1 JB nightly release? Or am I better off just leaving 2.3.6 GingerBread stock on here. That doesnt sound like fun but not bricking a 5 day old $300 phone would be nice!
Anyway to make this work with Kies?
You don't have to update the nightlies, but CM10.1 still has bugs. There is a stable build for CM10, but you need to flash CM10.1 first. By flashing CM10.1 you are making your phone compatible with all i777 ROMs. So you can then go to the i777 development section and find a ROM that may be more suited to what you want.
