Lmao.
At your release rate dsi, we're going to be bitching about fragmentation soon. ;)

Sent from my SGH-i757M using XDA premium and dsixda's CM9.
I'm learning A LOT about source code at this rate too LOL
I even modified the backlight code (borrowed some code, so I cheated) to fix the last issue. And then I added it under a "liblights" folder in my device repository, to override the default lights stuff. haha

Jelly Bean??

How hard is it going to be to get jelly Bean now that its released?
since it is based on ICS just better is that going to be much work.....
after this one is fully working.. but you are probably not even thinking about JB.
thanks DSIXDA for all your hard work it is greatly appreciated.

I'm not even thinking about anything else. I just want ICS to work.

And I have no idea how easy JB is because first of all there is no source code for CM, and secondly I have very little idea how things work in CM9 in the first place. One thing at a time.

I may just go into hiding after ICS and wait for someone else to take over... it takes a toll on family life ;)

Jelly bean is not a big deal right now, doesn't even seem that much different, looks like it's mostly system tweaks

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

Should fix capacitive button backlight issue.
I must be an anomaly, but my capacitative buttons have lit up since the first build.

I'm downloading the newest build now, will post results tomorrow.

Thanks again brother, great work

Baseband version

Hi guys not so sure if this is a right/correct place to ask as there isn't a thread for i757m.

I am using this phone and I wonder if I can change the i757m baseband to the galaxy nexus baseband version. Any ideas?
