Update 13/6/2011: As I stated, I created a support forum for Continuum. I will continue announcing new releases and give support on xda. However, for those willing to find only Continuum related information and news, the link is below.

First of all, I assume NO RESPONSIBILITY to what you do to your phone! So flashing any of the files linked to in this thread is fully your own mature decision and I will not accept to be blamed for your failure in following the installation steps and understanding the information contained in this thread but mostly in the first 4 posts.
Important Note:
After flashing bootloaders the key combinations to enter recovery/download mode are as follows:
Recovery Vol UP + Power
Download Vol Down + Power or Vol Down + USB insert
It has been reported that an inverted combination (Vol Up instead of Vol Down) worked for some. Try that as well if you can't get the ones above to work
I recommend keeping RFS for best battery life.
As well, keep applications on internal memory, don't move the to the sdcard! Makes the loading slower and some things might not work as they should! You've been warned!
Any referral to Quadrand scores will be ignored!!

Note: Most of the following instructions are valid assuming that you run a Windows machine and your device does not have updated boot loaders (see Galaxy S bootloaders section).

Caution measures:
Make sure you have a full battery
Make sure you have a JIG around just in case (some info about it here and here)
Make sure your cable is in a good status and that it will not cause any interruption between phone and PC while the flash process is ongoing
Make sure KEIS is not not running, you may install it to have the necessary drivers installed
This is difficult but make sure that your computer doesn’t tend to connect and disconnect randomly from USB devices. I cannot support or cover this in any way here, find resources by yourself.
Explanation of technical terms:
ODIN: ODIN is a closed source tool application used by Samsung to “download” the operating system onto a device while the device is in “Download Mode”.
Download Mode: Is a state of the device when the internal memory is made available to a tool hosted on a PC. The tool may then write data on the internal memory.
The internal memory, in this case, refers to the system reserved blocks not the user data blocks. The user data will not be touched while using such a tool (e.g. ODIN).
The Download Mode status can be achieved by using a key combination, ABD command or a custom made USB device aka JIG.
Ways of achieving Download mode using key combinations and ADB:
ADB – from recovery or normally booted with USB debug ON
If you don’t have adb already installed and configured, download this package, extract it somewhere and navigate to that folder in command prompt and type in
adb reboot download
Key combo
Remove the battery, sim, sdcard
Insert the battery back
Hold Volume UP + Volume Down and plug in the USB cable
...Or Hold Volume UP + Volume Down and Power button
Galaxy S BootloadersThink of a boot loader as a BIOS. If you don’t have them (bad flash), the phone needs serviced.
They are 2 and their usage is as follows:
Primary bootloader – boot.bin – used to perform low lever hardware initialization. Importance – HIGH!
Secondary bootloader – sbl.bin – loads the linux kernel and passes the necessary arguments. This is as well responsible for giving you download mode and recovery by using key combo (see Gingerbread update and how to go back to “stock” safely). Phones batch 1008 and newer do not have this capability due to a hardware lock of the feature. Importance – HIGH!
THEY NEED TO BE THE SAME REVISION! You cannot have a primary boot loader from a gingerbread release in tandem with a secondary boot loader from an Éclair or Froyo release. The phone will not boot and will need to be sent to Samsung or ATT for repair. If you find such a package, please address the issue to the creator so he can fix it by including the primary boot loader from the same revision.
How to find out if the firmware that you are going to flash contains boot loaders or not:
The firmware packages that can be flashed with ODIN have .tar or .tar.md5 extension. In both cases, you can open the file with 7zip
[FONT="]L[/FONT]ook inside the file and see if there is a boot.bin and sbl.bin.
Additional information about .rfs images
These images can be opened with MagicISO (shareware)
You can simply assign the program as default for this extension and you can open them just by double clicking.
Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely
Gingerbread focuses on graphical performance and I assume there was a need in changing several boot instructions, hence the need of updating the boot loaders.
By updating the boot loaders you take a risk of making your device unusable. However, the files are very small so the chance of this happening is somewhere below 1% (roughly calculated by comparing the number of downloads with the number of bricks)
There are 2 presumably safe ways to go back to stock 2.1
OdinOneClick Downloader – all information necessary is in the main thread – this will erase any trace of custom ROMs installed on your phone
Stock JF6 without boot loaders – all information necessary is in the main thread – this will erase any trace of custom ROMs installed on your phone except bootloaders
Stock JF6 with bootloaders and 3 button combo fix (not available yet!) – I will be working on creating this package – it will do the same as OdinOneClick Downloader except that it will add the 3 button combo fix
Unsafe ways to go back to stock
ODIN JF6 with 3 button combo fix – this will only downgrade the secondary boot loader leaving the primary one untouched. If you ever flash ODIN packages and is mentioned that they include boot loader(s) make sure that they include them both!! BY USING THIS METHOD TO GO BACK TO STOCK FROM MY ROM OR ANY OTHER GINGERBREAD ROM THAT UPDATED BOOT LOADERS, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!
You may use this method ONLY AFTER using OdinOneClick Downloader as that method will revert the primary boot loader as well.
Actual installation steps:
Download latest version of Continuum and put it on sdcard
Optional - return to stock using this method
Optional - only if you dont have latest bootloaders (you can tell by looking at the first picture when you power up the phone, if is white ATT, you dont have the latest bootloaders) - install JVB bootloaders with ODIN in PDA section
download the bootloaders package
Flash this kernel (or any other kernel with CWM3) with ODIN in PDA section with Auto Reboot option unchecked
Pull out the battery and disconnect the cable after ODIN said "RESET"
Reboot in recovery using Volume UP + Power button
Install Continuum from sdcard.
Note: If you have gingerbread bootloaders perform this quick test:
go back to stock using the method i just described above (in the install instructions)
test orientation sensor - open browser and see if it reorients.
if it doesn't work, i recommend flashing again the bootloaders pack
Updates can be found in post number 2 and can be flashed from ClockWorkMod recovery 3 only.
Themes can be found here

If you flash from VWM2 your applications will be deleted on reboot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in case you have CWM2 (green text usually), not to be forced to flash Talon kernel via ODIN, you may flash the ROM in this order:
- from CWM2, flash the ROM
- after installation, go to advanced - reboot in recovery (or pull out the battery and reboot in recovery using the keys combo)
- now you should have CWM3, install the ROM again and reboot

28/4/2011 - v5 RC3 - Download
* assuming that you have already new bootloaders, flash from recovery ONLY AFTER you flashed latest Talon kernel via ODIN - this is a must: latest kernel via ODIN! make sure you perform a hash check first to avoid surprises *
The reason is because ODIN flashed both blm7 and 8 (unlike zips found on xda which only flash bml7) which makes the system more stable
This is how I do it and this is how my rom installs it's kernel, is your choice if you want to flash over without flashing the kernel via ODIN, but dont be sad when I'll say "I told you so"
* this is a wipe release, make sure you backup your apps *
* you may flash this over ext4 partitions (you dont need to disable lagfix) *

* this is a wipe release, make sure you backup your apps *
* for those that run a kernel that allowed them to activate lagfix, disable it before flashing *
Who has problems with Bluetooth or various inexplicable problems, power off your device and turn it on again.

We're not worthy!
and it beings
what the fudge!!!! time to flash me some gingerbread goodness =D
How convenient. The phone is already flashed to stock/cleared and is sitting here with a full battery.
Downloading now.....(NM, I'll hang out for the w/bootloader version)
yep i just came...
seems like a race to the wonderland
it seems like forever for it to upload haha
Sh*t just got real.
EDIT:
Screenshots ?
I already have a JVB rom, and the new bootloader, will the without bootloader package work, or I still need to flash your bootloader one ?

You only have to flash the new bootloader once.
Impatiently waiting for the download link.
So this is just the stock ROM or has anything (besides kernel and key mappings) been changed? Does it need to be rooted or has it been rooted already and comes with su and the superuser app? If it needs to be rooted, will the rageagainsthecage work?
Thanks!

That I got, I've flashed couple of ROMs from I9000 thread, I was just making sure that the only thing missing from "without bootloader" is bootloader, as he says the recovery might not work too.

Some who haven't flashed with bootloader were experiencing recovery and other minor problems.
Say what?! just got v4 on my phone
time to move on anyways
Ok I am signing up for feedback from CM7 users testing this one.
Updated 03/14/2012 FrankenTAB v1.1.0
FrankenTAB aims to pick up where the gtab-devs left off with the Froyo based VEGAn-TAB 1.00 b5.1.1 (our v001a is a direct port of b5.1.1 to BL 1.2 with a clemsyn kernel). The current build is a heavily modified Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 base (advanced version of VEGAn-TAB 1.00 b5.1.1), with an overclockable (1.6ghz) & undervoltable kernel from the Clemsyn universal Froyo Skype Fix.
1) This MOD is based on Roebeets' Brilliant Corners ROM for the GTablet. See the description for Brilliant Corners for more info.
2) I am using the latest kernel and WIFI drivers (Skype/SOD/PPP fixes) from Clemsyn, all thanks for the speed of this ROM should go to him.... not me. This ROM is overclockable (to 1.6Ghz) and undervoltable via SetCPU (Get it from XDA if you are a member, or from the market if you want to support the developer)
3) Jcp171, Cobey, and Sharpe351 have been a huge help to me with FrankenTAB. Much thanks goes out to them for their continued help and support.
4) I got the blessing from GoJimi to include the newest version of VTL Launcher in our rom (v1.7.5 - This is NOT on the market yet). I would suggest that you drop in over at http://vegantab.gojimi.com/ to see what's going on with the OFFICIAL VEGAn-TAB ROM, which is based on GINGERBREAD, and show your support for further development of VTL Launcher by purchasing the release version from the Android Market or via a donation on the VT-Labs / VEGAn-TAB website.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Before attempting to install this ROM, please understand how to use NVFlash (Roebeets thread) to restore your system should something go wrong.
You will ABSOLUTELY need to do a data wipe / factory reset with CWM BEFORE install. I also recommend formatting your sdcard and wiping the dalvik cache before install. my current procedure is:
1) NVFlash to version a 1.2 bootloader base image including CWM
2) Perform my wipes in CWM (data / cache / Dalvik / Format SD)
3) Mount the Tablet via USB from inside CWM / Copy all the needed files to the tablet
4) Install the Rom in CWM
5) Reboot
In more extreme cases a tougher wipe may be necessary:
0) MAKE BACKUPS OF WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP
1) boot into CWM and format your sd card to 4096/0 then back to 2048/0 (this has cleared some of the problems for some people)
2) format dalvik cache
2a) -skip this step the first time you try, but it may end up being necessary- NVFlash back to a stock 1.2 setup that includes NVFlash (if you are on windows, I posted my NVFlash folder link (HERE) that has a few batch files for stock or CWM recovery)
3) wipe data / factory reset (in CWM)
4) -my method- format /system & /data (by doing this, it basically makes blank, formatted partitions)
4a) wipe dalvik cache again! especially if you let your system fully boot after the NVFlash - CLEAR THAT CRAP OUTTA THERE!!!
5) mount usb and copy over the zip file to the root of your internal sd card (which should be empty after part 1 - if not repeat step 1)
6) install zip from sd card
7) Reboot.
MAJOR RELEASE NOTE: The version 1.1.0 release is a full installation package with a completely new base. As such, please make a backup of your data just in case a full wipe becomes necessary during your upgrade process. I highly recommend a fresh start, but since we are upgrading the kernel, a wipe of the dalvik cache is mandatory at the very least.
APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY: KNOWN ISSUES as of release v1.1.0
(Thanks to Jcp171, Cobey, and EVERYONE for helping work through the app testing):
General Apps:
1. Market: Working properly with the standard market fix... slightly limited before the fix.
2. Skype: working. I have been using it for a while now and it seems to work like a champ.
E-mail:
1. Default E-mail: Works great, but being a non-Gingerbread ROM, Secure Corporate E-Mail setups may not work (Mine does not because of lack of appropriate security suppprt)
File Managers:
1. ES File Manager: Ran fine, was able to give file manager root. UPDATE: You can just long-press the STAR icon to get to the root directory. (THANKS bdds13!)
2. iFileManager: Works fine, but is just a basic file manager. For root access use ES file explorer or root explorer.
Utilities:
1. Anreboot: Fine for reboots, but DO NOT USE THIS TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY. It will likely only ever reboot into recovery forcing you to NVFlash the device to get it working again.
Games:
1. Plants Vs Zombies: (Doesn't work)Loaded and got all the way into the first level but quickly crashed. Will crash at some point either loading or trying to play. At the most it's extremely unstable...
2. Gem Spinner II: Not functional
3. Game compatibility with several games improved (Cut the rope now works) by removing the undervolt and returning voltages to default levels (still at 1.6ghz). May vary tab to tab... (Note: Even lowering the speed to 1ghz did not change Plants vs Zombies or Gem Spinners non-functional statuses...)
Any other apps we tested worked. Please let us know if you find an app with a problem and we can make sure to confirm the issue to help Pix out.

"I have included 1.6 ghz, Skype fix, PPP. With PPP, I had to upgrade the wifi drivers to get it to build so not sure SOD fix will hold but please test for me thanks." - Clemsyn
Clemsyn has asked us to test his latest kernel build for froyo with SOD protection, Skype fix, and PPP support. Grab the download and let the testing begin. If it goes well I will incorporate it into the v1.1.0 release of FrankenTAB. UPDATE 02/08/2012 - This will be the new default kernel in the v1.1.0 release - all tests confirm this to be an excellent release from clemsyn.
Grab FrankenTABv001a from HERE
- v001a is based on VeganTAB 5.1.1 just ported to the 1.2 BL with clemsyns kernel and a market update. (Still seems to be fairly popular - I will continue to support v001a as best I can for those looking for the classic VEGAN experience on the 1.2 boot loader.)
SCREENSHOTS:
Work is coming along good on v1.0.2. I hope to have a release ready this weekend. This release will be very minor tweaks to some icons and graphics that were not receiving a lot of love from the community, along with some tweaks to the build prop.
In the next phase of testing I will be looking at kernel options including support for ppp in the default kernel, along with the possibility of an optional kernel or kernels. (will be v1.1.0)
Anyone that wants to test v1.0.2 I have uploaded a testers update HERE please be detailed in reporting any problems or new successes that are found.
Cool does camera or google talk work with camera?
Is this the full ? : FrankenTABv100.zip or is it this one FrankenTABv100RC1-full-install.zip
Thanks cant wait to try it
P.s Oh NVM i see its 2.2 none of the new Google apps will work thanks
Version 100 is the latest full file. version 100rc1 is the older release candidate.
no PPP support
Same like other ROM with clemsyn kernel
I try to use pppd (pppd /dev/rfcomm0 call xxx) but got message below
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
Any chance to compile kernel with PPP support ??
I can ask clem to compile me a custom kernel, but it may take a lil while. I had planned to ask for something custom from him anyway so I will toss that in too. I will post an update in the second post when I hear from him, so keep an eye out.
I have been running this since 1.0.0 and love it. This is the ROM I have settled on. After trying Gingerbread and HC, I came back to Froyo for estability and speed. Love the icons on the status bar (Home, back, menu). All acceleration works including HD video. Like I said, very smooth and stable. All the games also work with it.
Netflix, Flash, Skype work.
Just loaded up over flashback, no problems here. Running so great!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Excellent ROM
Love it!
I love it!
Are you considering changing the icons to ICS themed icons?
I may look into it for a future release, but right now I have to post the update (v1.0.2 is live) and try to confirm that, with the new kernel that clemsyn compiled for us, SOD issues are solved and SKYPE IS WORKING PROPERLY!!
watch the OP in the next few mins for the updates and details!!

why the hell i can't boot any rom , after installing flashback 10.3 ?!
You should NVFlash back to stock, and then try to install. Thats the best help I can give with the information you have provided.
Good luck. If that doesnt do the trick, let us know and we can try to work through it.

It works on cyanogen ROM which is based on gingerbread
But none of froyo based ROM works and always reported such error message
I attach chat binary for froyo which i compile in case somebody
want to try this

So far the ROM is great. I came from brilliant corners. My only issue is sometimes with flash, it's all blocky and distorted like a messed up NES cartridge.sound is fine.i fix it by full screening the flash video or changing the resolution, then back. Also, is there a DSP manager, or sound booster working in this ROM (for speakers, not headphones?) Thanks
Wifi can sleep when screen turns off?
Using 1.02 update, I notice also wifi never goes to sleep eventhough
I have setup wifi sleep when screen turn of in wifi sleep policy
Anybody experience the same?

CM10.2 for Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in CM10.1/CM10.2, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery. As of this writing, the latest available
version is CWM6.0.3.9/Philz5.18.4 for the SGH-I757M.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of CM10.1, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D CM10.2 (Android4.3.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). Among the most notable new features are new adreno graphics drivers with triple buffering (this is project butter). More desired may be the new privacy manager features that allow you to control, on a per app basis, which information you wish to share. Other improvements include an improved lockscreen cLock and a new integrated Superuser.

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files.
* When unlocking the screen, sometimes only the capacitative buttons light up, and the screen doesn't come on. This seems to happen about 80% of the time.
Solution: This can be fixed by locking the screen, then unlocking it again. In about 5% of these cases the screen does not come on again. Just repeat the steps again until it does.
This has been fixed as of build 20131029
* You may notice a screen flicker when you first flash this ROM. This is due to a bug where the system can't decide whether to render the graphics with the cpu or the gpu, thus the flicker.
Solution: This is fixed by turning on Settings -> Developer Options -> Disable HW Overlays (You must first enable Developer Options by pressing 7 times on Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number). This will be reset on every boot. if you install Universal Init.d, my 91fixoverlays script will run on each boot and fix this automatically.
This has been fixed as of build 20131029

FAQ
Q. How do I install SuperSu?
A. Install the latest version from the market, and also make sure you have Universal Init.d installed and active. Then open SuperSU and when it asks you to update the superuser binary, answer yes and make sure you select the "TWRP/CWM" method. This will reboot your phone into receovery where the superuser binary will be updated and the su daemon script added. When your phone reboots, recovery will warn you that your device may possibly be unrooted. This is because of the install-recovery.sh script that is required to start the superuser daemon which allows SuperSu to manage superuser permissions. You are not unrooted ;-)
If your having difficulties getting SuperSu installed, try downloading the flashable zip and manually flashing it to your phone.
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
* Thanks to @formercontra for this tip *
* Make sure this is the way in which you want to manage superuser permissions as I have not yet found a way to revert to the integrated superuser without having to re-flash the rom
Q. How do I access Developer Options?
A. Go to Settings -> About Phone and scroll to the bottom. Press the Build number 7 times to activate the Developer Options.
Q. Why is my screen flickering?
A. There is a bug in this ROM where the board can't decide whether to display the frames with the cpu or the gpu, thus the flickering while it resolves the issue. To fix it, disable HW Overlays in Developer Options. This needs to be set on every boot unless you are running Universal Init.d and my 91fixoverlays script is present in the /system/etc/init.d folder.
Q. When I unlock my screen, my menu/home/back/search buttons come on but the screen is black?
A. This is a known bug in this ROM and is on the list of things that need to be fixed. For now, when this happens, just lock the screen, then unlock it again and the display should come back. If it does not, repeat until it does (the most number of times i had to do that was 3).
Q. I was browsing my pictures/videos in the gallery and my phone rebooted?
A. This seems to be caused by the gallery trying to generate a preview from the first frame of an mp4 created on older versions. Simply move the mp4's to a different directory with a file manager and add a ".nomedia" file to the folder to stop the gallery from trying to scan them. To open them, open with a filemanager and then select the gallery media player and it will play without issue.

Tips and Tricks
Use the Bell Flex APN. You can select it by going to:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
This helps fix some issues with VPN and some other system services.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.

Wow, you already found it and I wasn't even finished putting everything up... make sure you use the new CWM, very very very important!
Followed the instructions ( to the best of my ability ) but I'm getting a random red border flicker every so often. I'm also not seeing the 91fixoverlays script in my init.d folder.
Smooth rom so far!

I totally forgot to update the build.prop with the build type, it is responsible for the red border. Either use a build.prop editor or open the /system/build.prop with a text editor and change the following line:
ro.build.type=eng
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Change it to:
ro.build.type=user
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You will need to reboot after making this change.
In regards to the 91fixoverlays script, I do appologize. I forgot to include it in the zip... Please download the attached 91fixoverlays.txt file and rename it to 91fixoverlays and move it to /system/etc/init.d and change it's permissions to match the other files in that directory.
Sorry for missing these two things. I will update the packages ASAP and will post a note when it's done so you know that there is no need to follow the steps in this post.
Much appreciated! No more red flickering. Thanks!
Wow! Thank you!

I'm first!! (to post, anyway).
Installed the ROM. Did a clean flash (factory reset).
Upon the boot I got "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" but appears to be no ramifications.
ROM looks great! Feels smooth.
Will do more testing.
Thanks

I think this is due to our oddly small cache partition. Only 100MB as compared to the skyrocket at 300MB. Currently, I only moved four apps in the gapps package to the data partition do that their dex files don't end up in the /cache/dalvik-cache dir and instead end up in /data/dalvik-cache. I think I need to move others. I also think that it happens only on first boot without side effects because a couple of the installed apps only run on first boot, then their dex files can be deleted (I think this happens automatically).

Rotation is not working for me, though I always keep it on portrait anyway so I am not complaining.
Rotation doesn't work here, and every so often I run into spells where the only button that works is the home button and haptic feedback stops working all around. A reboot fixes it and it seems random. Other than those few things this is soooooo smooth. I'm happy. Thanks so much!

Fix for Sensors
Hey guys, to fix the sensors, download this attachment sensors.default.so.txt and rename it to sensors.default.so, move it to /system/lib/hw and give it the same permissions as the other files in that directory, then reboot and your sensors should be working
Works now! Thanks ya muchly.

CM11.0 for Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11.0, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery with a version greater than 6.0.39. As of this writing, the latest available
version is Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.9 (based on CWM 6.0.51) for the SGH-I757M. There is currently not a
version of regular CWM for this device that will flash Kit Kat ROMs.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of CM10.1, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D CM11.0 (Android4.4.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). There is a lot to be said about Kit Kat with it's clean white icons and new launcher. The focus with Kit Kat was to make the device use less RAM and imrove performance, and so far it's running great.

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files.

Pre-Installation instructions
1) Download to your sdcard, the new Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.9 flashable zip which is compatible with CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11.0
2) Enter your existing CWM Recovery
3) Install Zip From sdcard
4) Select the philz_touch_6.12.8-celoxhd.zip that you downloaded to your sdcard
5) Flash the new Recovery
6) Go back to the main recovery menu and go Advanced -> Reboot Recovery (This might not actually reboot you into recovery, you may have to do that manually by turning off phone and using 3-button combo)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now that you have the new recovery flashed to your device, you can continue to install this ROM.
Please be aware that the new recovery detects your sdcards (internal/external) in a different way. Your internal sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard0 and your external sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard1.

Changelog
Code:
[B]November 22, 2014 - Build 20141122[/B]
* Increased kernel version to Titanium 1.1.1
* Added cpu input boost framework - credit: sultanxda
* Added cpu OC (The scale goes up to 1890MHz, but you should only put it as high as 1836MHz since I was getting random reboots with 1890MHz. 1674MHz is the default OC and 1512MHz is the default CM OC) - credit: TeamFahQ/sultanxda/titanic-fanatic
* Added low power flash mode which will use a low powered flash when the battery is equal to or below 35%. This should help with the camera causing the phone to shut down when trying to take pictures using the flash. This threshold may need to be tweaked, so please let me know if you still experience shut downs related to using the camera. - credit: sultanxda
* Added sgs2hdbell as a device name to the updater-script to allow all bell i757m devices to flash the ROM without the need to edit the updater-script.
* Added panel undervolt interface. - credit: sultanxda
* More memory optimizations. Some of the extra RAM that the previous optimization gave us has been allocated to other things such as the surface flinger. Available RAM is now around ~760MB.
* Removed vbus_present wakelock for good (it worked it's way back in somehow)
* Added fast charge. Phone will now charge at 1200mA until 95% regardless of your charging source (AC/USB)
* Added exFAT driver to kernel. It's a filesystem like ext4 but is based on Windows FAT filesystem. You can format your sdcard as exFAT as it's supposed to be faster than vFAT which is what our sdcards are formatted as. Make sure you backup your sdcard contents before formatting it as exFAT and keep the backup until your sure you want to stick with exFAT.
* Removed NFC since I don't think anyone uses it and can't figure out how to have it disabled by default so it is removed completely. If someone is using NFC, let me know and I'll add it back but for now, I just see it as a battery drain.
[B]September 10, 2014 - Build 20140910[/B]
* Kernel now has a custom version number in addition to my kernel name of Titanium
* Optimized kernel memory mapping to increase our physical RAM from ~730MB to ~800MB (a whole 70 extra MB... whoa!)- credit: sultanxda
* Removed mDNIe (it's not supported/working)
* Removed 91fixoverlays script (no longer needed)
* Removed persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enabled from build.prop (hack to fix the hwoverlays because fb drivers are broken somehow) - credit: sultanxda
* Added GPU overclock from 266MHz to 320MHz (helps a lot with the UI lag) - credit: sultanxda
* Added code for 2 phase OnDemand governor - credit: sultanxda
* Added opensource frandom module to help speed up the UI (also helps with the lag) - credit: bryan2894
* Added mdp Color Enhancements (better display color) - credit: sultanxda
* Added color/gamma controls in place of mDNIe (see the tips and tricks section for my already tweaked favorite settings) - credit: bryan2894/titanic_fanatic (I had to integrate it into our display drivers)
* Added Swipe 2 Wake (S2W) support in the kernel (it's actually tap once on each key from left to right). - credit: bryan2894
* Added audio.r_submix.default.so to the build to enable screencasting - credit: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193"]THIS POST[/URL]
* Added the necessary audio channels in the audio_policy.conf for screencasting - credit: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193"]THIS POST[/URL]
* Added the necessary settings in Advanced Device Settings for screencasting and color/gamma control - credit: bryan2894/titanic_fanatic (I added the screencasting settings)
* Fixed the annoying BLN sticking (I think... Please confirm this for me) - credit: bryan2894
* Fixed the sampling rates for A2DP, input and r_submix channels - credit: bryan2894

FAQ
Q. How do I install SuperSu?
A. Install the latest version from the market. Then open SuperSU and when it asks you to update the superuser binary, answer yes and make sure you select the "TWRP/CWM" method. This will reboot your phone into receovery where the superuser binary will be updated and the su daemon script added. Reboot your phone and you should be rooted.
If your having difficulties getting SuperSu installed, try downloading the flashable zip and manually flashing it to your phone.
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
* Thanks to @formercontra for this tip *
* Make sure this is the way in which you want to manage superuser permissions as I have not yet found a way to revert to the integrated superuser without having to re-flash the rom
Q. How do I access Developer Options?
A. Go to Settings -> About Phone and scroll to the bottom. Press the Build number 7 times to activate the Developer Options.
Q. I was browsing my pictures/videos in the gallery and my phone rebooted?
A. This seems to be caused by the gallery trying to generate a preview from the first frame of an mp4 created on older versions. Simply move the mp4's to a different directory with a file manager and add a ".nomedia" file to the folder to stop the gallery from trying to scan them. To open them, open with a filemanager and then select the gallery media player and it will play without issue.

Here are my settings for the color/gamma controls!
Color:
Red -> 60%
Green -> 45%
Blue -> 45%
Gamma:
Red -> 0
Green -> -5
Blue -> 5
Why does the color/gamma controls get set to a value other than what I've set?
This is something I have not yet resolved, but I have noticed that it seems to jump up by 5. So if you want 50% for example, try setting it to 45%.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
How do I take a dmesg (kernel log)?
It's fairly simple, open up your terminal then type the following:
$ su
$ dmesg > /storage/sdcard0/dmesg.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will save the log to the root of your sdcard as dmesg.txt. Just post that or send it to [email protected] if it's to large to post here
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.
Flashing Recovery for the First Time
Flashing CWM for the First Time
This is a pretty simple step once you get past the install recovery script which I'll explain how to accomplish. Make sure you follow the instructions closely because Odin, the program the we use to bypass the security, can do some serious damage to your phone if your not careful.
1) Download the latest CWM tar.md5 to your computer from my androidfilehost.com repo here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=12461
2) Download Odin 1.8.5 zip and extract all the files to a folder on your computer (i use my desktop):
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358544719
3) The drivers are very touchy on windows computers, so I recommend that you install Samsung Kies which will ensure that the drivers are installed and setup correctly. You can download kies from here:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
4) Be careful now that you have kies installed, it does not play nicely with Odin, so whenever you use Odin, you should ensure that kies is completely closed and not open in the system tray by opening your Task Manager and "End Task" to any kies process such as "Kies.exe" and "KiesTrayAgent.exe"
5) Now, with kies closed, open Odin and do not change any settings. It should look like this:
6) Now click on the Bootloader button and search for the CWM tar.md5 you downloaded from my androidfilehost.
7) Now turn off your phone, and when it's powered off, press and hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the warning message about Download mode. Press volume up to enter download mode.
8) With Kies closed on your computer and Odin open cwm tar.md5 loaded into the bootloader section and your phone in Download mode, plug your phone into the computer with your micro usb cord and wait for odin to display a "Device Added" message which tells you that odin sees your phone.
9) This is the tricky part and is all based on timing, so pay close attention.
10) You will now press the "Start" button in odin and wait for it to complete. It will display a green "Pass" message in the first box when it's done. At this time, the phone will reboot and will start with a slight vibration to notify you that it's booting up. It's exactly at the time that the phone vibrates that you need to immediately remove the micro usb cord and press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously until cwm loads. If you miss this mark, android will boot, the install_recovery.sh script will run and overwrite the cwm you just flashed with the old stock 3e recovery (arghhh) and you will have to go through this process again.
If CWM complains about the install_recovery script, let it fix/remove it.
Once you have CWM flashed, you can use it to backup/restore your system, flash custom ROMs and you can even flash our CWM upgrades through CWM itself.
First Wood Woot !! And many thankyous.
Update-
This Rom is flawless so far. I have no issues that existed for me in CM10.2JB . Status Bar doesn't freeze. Apps aren't killed mid use. Calender sync was fixed by installing Google calendar from play store and then removing it. (I use Cal app). There's almost no lag in multi tasking. I'm very happy.?? kit Kat!
Let's all hit TFs donate button with a few bucks, eh?

Crossbreeder won't install (it did on the earlier 4.4 builds).. but Adaway works just fine and everything's working smoothly. Love the music in the lockscreen! also noticed there's even more governor parameters to tweak, which is always a good thing

That's due to the new recovery. If your on a Windows system, download 7zip if you don't have it already.
Here's what you do, open this roms zip file and extract only the update-binary from META-INF/com/google/android to a location on your computer. Then you can close the ROM zip. Now open the crossbreeder zip with 7zip and browse to META-INF/com/google/android and simply drag the extracted update-binary into the crossbreeder zip file replacing it's update-binary with the one from cm-11. Then close the zip and upload to your phone and flash away

Did you wipe and factory reset? Did you use the wipe to install new rom option?
This ROM must be flashed clean. No dirty flashing unless you already had cm-11 flashed.

I am curious, in your 10.2 thread you said the calendar could not be assigned a gmail account in cm 11.
Was this resolved? For me it's a deal breaker (loving your cm10.2 anyways).
If it hasn't been fixed could we add it to the OP in the what doesn't work section?

Philz touch cwm was just updated and now uses a new exfat module for mounting the sdcards. It's supposed to be faster than the fuse alternative. This version also fixes the resolution of the background image, the software buttons and the vibration.

The calendar works in slim. I think the calendar sync adapter is missing in cm-11. Can I get someone to add this apk to your /system/app dir give it the same permissions as the others, then reboot and try connecting the calendar to your Google account. I'm out of the house right now so can't test it myself.

Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11.0, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery with a version greater than 6.0.39. As of this writing, the latest available
version is Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.9 (based on CWM 6.0.5.1) for the SGH-I757M. There is currently not a
version of regular CWM for this device that will flash Kit Kat ROMs.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of CM10.1, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D SlimKat (Android4.4.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). There is a lot to be said about Kit Kat with it's clean white icons and new launcher. The focus with Kit Kat was to make the device use less RAM and imrove performance, and so far it's running great. Art seems to be fully functional in SlimKat and the device runs smooth ;-)

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files.
* Not only does the camcorder not work, but selecting it will cause the camera to not function at all, so be careful not to select camcorder. There is currently no fix if you accidentally select camcorder mode, so be careful or you may need to reflash the ROM to get the camera working again. I'm working on a solution that will at least not put it into this loop for now.

Changelog
Code:
[B]November 26, 2014 - Build 20141126[/B]
* Increased kernel version to Titanium 1.1.1
* Added cpu input boost framework - credit: sultanxda
* Added cpu OC (The scale goes up to 1890MHz, but you should only put it as high as 1836MHz since I was getting random reboots with 1890MHz. 1674MHz is the default OC and 1512MHz is the default CM OC) - credit: TeamFahQ/sultanxda/titanic-fanatic
* Added low power flash mode which will use a low powered flash when the battery is equal to or below 35%. This should help with the camera causing the phone to shut down when trying to take pictures using the flash. This threshold may need to be tweaked, so please let me know if you still experience shut downs related to using the camera. - credit: sultanxda
* Added sgs2hdbell as a device name to the updater-script to allow all bell i757m devices to flash the ROM without the need to edit the updater-script.
* Added panel undervolt interface. - credit: sultanxda
* More memory optimizations. Some of the extra RAM that the previous optimization gave us has been allocated to other things such as the surface flinger. Available RAM is now around ~760MB.
* Removed vbus_present wakelock for good (it worked it's way back in somehow)
* Added fast charge. Phone will now charge at 1200mA until 95% regardless of your charging source (AC/USB)
* Added exFAT driver to kernel. It's a filesystem like ext4 but is based on Windows FAT filesystem. You can format your sdcard as exFAT as it's supposed to be faster than vFAT which is what our sdcards are formatted as. Make sure you backup your sdcard contents before formatting it as exFAT and keep the backup until your sure you want to stick with exFAT.
* Removed NFC since I don't think anyone uses it and can't figure out how to have it disabled by default so it is removed completely. If someone is using NFC, let me know and I'll add it back but for now, I just see it as a battery drain.
[COLOR="Red"][B]NOTE:[/B] With the overclocking of this kernel, all antutu tests passed up to 1836MHz. At 1890MHz, antutu caused the phone to reboot during the String Sort tests. This is so far the only thing that has caused reboots, but there may be other actions that will cause this too. If you find that your device is randomly rebooting, turn the overclock down by one step (ie: from 1836MHz to 1782MHz which is one step lower). Then go back to using your phone normally. If you still get random reboots, keep turning the OC down until it doesn't happen anymore.[/COLOR]
[B]October 5, 2014 - Build 20141005[/B]
* Kernel now has a custom version number in addition to my kernel name of Titanium
* Optimized kernel memory mapping to increase our physical RAM from ~730MB to ~800MB (a whole 70 extra MB... whoa!)- credit: sultanxda
* Removed mDNIe (it's not supported/working)
* Removed 91fixoverlays script (no longer needed)
* Removed persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enabled from build.prop (hack to fix the hwoverlays because fb drivers are broken somehow) - credit: sultanxda
* Added GPU overclock from 266MHz to 320MHz (helps a lot with the UI lag) - credit: sultanxda
* Added code for 2 phase OnDemand governor - credit: sultanxda
* Added opensource frandom module to help speed up the UI (also helps with the lag) - credit: bryan2894
* Added mdp Color Enhancements (better display color) - credit: sultanxda
* Added color/gamma controls in place of mDNIe (see the tips and tricks section for my already tweaked favorite settings) - credit: bryan2894/titanic_fanatic (I had to integrate it into our display drivers)
* Added Swipe 2 Wake (S2W) support in the kernel (it's actually tap once on each key from left to right). - credit: bryan2894
* Added audio.r_submix.default.so to the build to enable screencasting - credit: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193"]THIS POST[/URL]
* Added the necessary audio channels in the audio_policy.conf for screencasting - credit: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193"]THIS POST[/URL]
* Added the necessary settings in Advanced Device Settings for screencasting and color/gamma control - credit: bryan2894/titanic_fanatic (I added the screencasting settings)
* Fixed the annoying BLN sticking (I think... Please confirm this for me) - credit: bryan2894
* Fixed the sampling rates for A2DP, input and r_submix channels - credit: bryan2894
* Changed both scaling governors to OnDemand - credit: bryan2894
[B]August 16, 2014 - Build 20140816[/B]
* Synced with sources
* Added sysfs interface for vibrator intensity control
* Added settings to control vibrator intensity in Advanced Device Settings

FAQ
Q. How do I install SuperSu?
A. Install the latest version from the market. Then open SuperSU and when it asks you to update the superuser binary, answer yes and make sure you select the "TWRP/CWM" method. This will reboot your phone into receovery where the superuser binary will be updated and the su daemon script added. Reboot your phone and you should be rooted.
If your having difficulties getting SuperSu installed, try downloading the flashable zip and manually flashing it to your phone.
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
* Thanks to @formercontra for this tip *
* Make sure this is the way in which you want to manage superuser permissions as I have not yet found a way to revert to the integrated superuser without having to re-flash the rom
Q. How do I access Developer Options?
A. Go to Settings -> About Phone and scroll to the bottom. Press the Build number 7 times to activate the Developer Options.
Q. I was browsing my pictures/videos in the gallery and my phone rebooted?
A. This seems to be caused by the gallery trying to generate a preview from the first frame of an mp4 created on older versions. Simply move the mp4's to a different directory with a file manager and add a ".nomedia" file to the folder to stop the gallery from trying to scan them. To open them, open with a filemanager and then select the gallery media player and it will play without issue.

Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.

This is definitely due to the build type, but this roms build.prop already has the build type set to user. Did you do a clean flash if you came from another rom? Did you modify the build.prop at all before this happened?
Your build.prop editor needs root access and by default, this rom is set to root for adb only. You can change that in the developer options to allow both apps and adb to gain root. Then your build.prop edits should stick.
I'm still confused how you have a build.prop with build type set to eng though since the build type is set to user in my rom. My Best guess is that you came from rukusx7's hellkat rom and didn't wipe before you flashed this one. That would save your system files and maybe cause some conflicts which might explain your issue with the dialer. My suggestion to you is to always wipe/factory reset when flashing new roms. This will minimize the potential for problems.
