I'll update the list once the freaking five-hour build finishes and the ROM finally shows NFC.

I noticed that there is a configuration flag that must be set to allow the nfc files to be added. However, when I built it three days ago it added nfc regardless. I think some new updates to the source made it a mandatory parameter... I only found out about it by searching the code for the word NFC. :p

Ok with the new build, NFC seems to start up without errors in logcat.

Wireless hotspot starts up, and with my iPad I can connect to it. However, I didn't have a SIM card in it so there was no actual network connection. I'll need someone to test it.

New 'June 28' build is being uploaded as I type. http://d-h.st/users/dsi, under SGS2 HD LTE, 'testing' folder. Please allow 30 minutes from the time of this message.

I'm having some trouble flashing the CM9 ROM. I am getting the Assert failed (Status 7) error. I've wiped and I'm coming from DexRom2.0.

I've already tried removing the Assert lines from the update script but I then get an "Installation aborted."

Any suggestions?

Redownload the cm9 rom could of been a bad download, make sure you wipe before you flash cm9 wipe data, cache, then advanced then dalvik cache. Flash cm9 and gapps, then if you want rewipe everything again and reboot. Also try and clear off any unwanted stuff off your internal and external sd card >might not be the issue but won't hurt. Try putting the cm9 rom on the internal sd if you can, try both sd's.

Make sure you have the newest CWM that is on the dev-host page. This one won't produce the Status 7 or assert errors. The ROM checks for SGH-I757M but the cwm from two weeks ago is registered as full_bellsgs2hd instead.

I think I got the buttons lit up always now. You can turn them off in the settings too. I'll try to upload a new build before my lunch break is over.

Uploading cm-9-20120628a right now (Note the letter "a" after the date). Wait 30 minutes.

Should fix capacitive button backlight issue.
