CyanogenMod 12 [UNOFFICIAL] [UBER] for i777 + Call Bugfix + Goodies

[dimoochka]

Anything you could ever ask for to update your i777 in one place. Download link below...

ROM: cm-12.1-20151213-UNOFFICIAL-i777.zip
Features

• Compiled with UBER toolchain (supposedly faster than standard toolchain)
• Outgoing call bug fixed (hacked, whatever, it's not there anymore)
• TRIM support (thanks to Lanchon)
• Otherwise unchanged
• CM is awesome.

GAPPS: tk_gapps-modular-pico-5.1.1-20150913-signed.zip
Features

• Works.

MODEM: I777UCMD8_modem.zip
Features

• Nobody knows, but it's the latest version that I'm aware of.

RECOVERY: SGH-S959G_TWRP_v2.7.1.0.zip
WARNING

• This is for the S959G (which I think is identical in every way to the i777). It works on the S959G but I have not tested it on an i777.

XPOSED

• So good. Works fine.
• You need to install the .zip in recovery, and the .apk normally.
• Uninstall .zip included.

Download

Installation instructions can be found on CM's website.
* If upgrading from CM12.1, wipe /data/dalvik-cache first (you probably don't even need to wipe /cache).
* If upgrading from any other ROM, you need to factory reset first (ie. wipe /cache and /data).

Good luck!

Directions?

Install Directions?
(Like the order and which ones we need to install, also clean flash or dirty?)

Install Directions?
(Like the order and which ones we need to install, also clean flash or dirty?)

1. ROM
2. Kernel & GAPPS & Xposed -> All optional, order doesn't matter.

Modem can be flashed at any time and does not overlap with any of the above flashes.

Probably clean flash for most purposes unless you're coming from prior version of CM12.1

Couldn't get the phone to detect my sim card / get data connection. Tried flashing modem file, but verification failed with the new CM recovery . Any solutions?

What device? I777? Also clean or dirty flash? I'll try to work on the modem issue sometime next week.

Clean install. Coming from cyanide Lollipop. Had TWRP when I flashed the kernel. I tried both flashing kernel first followed by the ROM as well as ROM followed by kernel. Both had the same issue.

I built a fully updated version (20151104) last night (see first post for download link). You no longer need to install Lanchon's kernel (TRIM support is built in).

I am installing this ROM on my own device (S959G) right now and testing it out.

Instructions:
1) Optional, if you want to try to flash the modem: install the version of TWRP you had initially, and try to flash the modem through that.
2) Install ROM.
3) Install GAPPS
4) Install XPOSED (if you want - make sure to re-download as the version is updated from v74 to v75).

OK. its been a while since i flashed a lollipop rom. so here i go. im currently running shostock3 v4.0 on my i777. if i flash a kitkat compatible recovery
( CWM-KitKatCompatible-i777.zip), i can flash this rom right? i'd do a full wipe, data,cache,system then flash rom>gapps>xposed....i should be good? right?

That's right. Not 100% sure about the recovery (I've never used that one), but I think you would be in good shape. Make a backup onto your computer first so that you have a contingency plan in case you soft brick.

If you're flashing on the i777, then I believe this ROM will replace your recovery with the stock CM12 recovery (just FYI - should be inconsequential).

Haha...i always do a backup before flashing a rom...just made one in reserve. Download just finished...gonna try it out right now and test it. will post feedback later on...

UPDATE: flashed and booted up nicely.....but once i rebooted the phone, it stuck on samsung galaxy s2 logo with yellow triangle....

Update 2: i think xposed module messed up the system....did a data wipe and it boots up fine now.....need to setup everything all over again...hope i dont get that prob again....

Yeah I installed an older version of xposed (v74) in the past and it caused a bootloop. Using v75 with this nightly has been pretty stable for me.

What was the problem? I dirty flashed on mine from the prior version and it's been working fine. Maybe try clean flash?

It stuck in the cm screen I did a full wipe. I am going to try the next released when available. Thanks for develop for our device.

I'm stuck on the CM logo. Worse, I thought this came with TWRP. It comes with the CM recovery. I made a back up with TWRP and moved it to my computer prior to flashing. The CM recovery is worthless. Not sure where to start getting back to my old Rom (Omni 4.4.4).

Edit: Good to go and back on 4.4.4. I was hoping to move forward with this version. Not sure what happened. I used Odin to install the Siyah kernel with CWM and then was able to flash a Kernel with twrp to restore my back up.

I'm wondering if I had flashed a Kernel with TWRP at the beginning if it would have made a difference. I may try that now since I'll be looking at the triangle screen from now on anyway.

I do recommend that it be clear in the OP that the stock Kernel contains CM recovery and not TWRP.

The bootloop is weird - did you inadvertently install an old version of Xposed (happened to me once)? Wipe data/cache/system and reflash - should do the trick.

I'll try to build a TWRP'ed version, shouldn't be too hard...
