ALL Q&A FOR THIS ROM HAPPENS HERE.
Thanks.
Thank you very much! Just got it running, so far no issues or force closes. I have been waiting on a 1.1 bl honeycomb. Thank you!
Wow! Great news, definitely gonna give this a try, had lots of issues the last time I used a 1.2 based bootloader,so I'm really glad to see this!
Thanks!

Editing out, as I PM'd the OP instead.
Thanks in advance.
there's a 1.1 version of this now????

I'm actually surprised that it took this long.
We used the 1.2 bl initially because we had to as we ported directly from the Adam devs. But once there were Clem kernel ports, it wasn't technically a requirement anymore. I just never changed my port as my opinions on 1.2 are already well-stated and sticking with it made sense to me, at least. But that doesn't mean that a 1.1 based HC ROM was impossible.
However, if NI releases a HC port and it's using a .36 kernel to make everything work, this 1.1 ROM might have issues with porting that. But this is all speculation, at this point - I don't know if a NI port will even work on a GTAB yet, regardless of the bootloader used.
does this has the same bl 1.2 version issues or just the usb to pc?!
bl 1.2 version has these issues:
(copied from other forum)
- Camera isn't working (pulled out the app for now)
- Browser is working, but OpenGL is disabled for it to work. That means no Flash on the stock browser.
- (High-def) video playback does not work, yet.
any testers can confirm this? i'm a bit feeling lazy to try it today
confirmed but very smooth i love it its not reading my sdcard though how can i get it to read sd card?

Awwwww, yeah! I'm pumped. Is this essentially the same as Roebeet's BOS, with the same features not working yet?
This is great news!
Is it accelerated?
Does it run Flash 10.3?

Odd...seems to work ok on mine.
I did notice that it's called "/external_sd" though, might want to check to see if you have that on your device.

One other thing, on a good note -- I'm definitely happy to see more modders our there for the GTablet. Options are always a good thing and I plan to pull back a bit, starting new month. So the more HC ports we have, the better!
Quick question... If I'm running Vegan 5.1.1, what do I need to do to install this ROM? Full wipe? Just flash it from CWM? Something else entirely?
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob at all of this, but I promise I'm trying to learn!
roebeet said:
I was really hesitant to post anything, as I really don't want you taking this the wrong way. I apologize if it came off as anything else but a concern for post-support, that was not my intent (and, in retrospect, a PM would have been better. My bad).
The branding, for me, is mostly about post-support. Remember, I'm a sysadmin by trade so when I get PM's on issues, I usually ask the usual questions like what mod, what version, how did you install it, etc. That's actually why I started branding "TNT Lite" as such back in November, as it was easier for me to know if a user was actually using my ROM or not. That's really my only concern, here. When two different mods are branded the same, it will get confusing. Especially if they are on two different development branches. It is fun, I agree - that's why I do this. But for users who soft-brick, it's sometimes a major panic attack and a lot of them are hesitant to use nvflash.

Robeet, I think you were spot on, the OP is not reading it correctly. I can just see the flood of posts/PM's asking you questions and users cross posting between 1.1/1.2 because of this and the difficulty of tracking all this. it's difficult enough keeping up with all these great roms and boot loader types, I could not imagine what it is like on your guys side.
OP he is not dissing you, he is just asking that you rename it so you can support issues and he does not have to keep getting cross questions, it's pretty much non-issue in my eyes.
OP, thanks for supporting the Gtab and the 1.1. people like all you devs that make android so much fun and android FTW over IOS.

Yes, full wipe and flash it. do a backup of course just incase you want to go back. back up your apps as well so you can restore them on the other side of HC.

Maybe this should be called something like "Bottle of Smoke MOD" since technically it is a modified version of the original.
Hello guys,
I am working very hard to bring for this Christmas SensatioN 3 theme along with SensatioN ROM 2 for SGS 2. I don't have much time for development, but I try to dev as much as I can when I have time.
I had a lot of requests for supporting other phones and I said I will do it a long but I haven't got the time to do it.
As I don't have time to support multiple phones, I will need someone to take over the port for this phone. If is there anyone here who has worked before on theming and he believes that he can port the the SensatioN theme exactly as it is (not some images copied from frameworks, a little layout changes and done), then please send me a PM.
I will make a team and I will give you all the resources you will need along with my support when I am available for making this port right.
Now, I am working to bring SensatioN 3 on SGS2 for Christmas and I am a lot behind my original schedule, but I think no one will be mad here if they receive this theme in january.
I will make a donation fund for SensatioN team for users who would like to donate.
Best Regards,
Crysis21

No, it's not necessary because everyone can hellraise a rom. I don't know too much about the hellraiser but in my previous experience from i9000/captivate/vibrant ports from a phone to another with just kernel/modem/key layout adjustments worked, but a lo of users complained about different ****s and so on... that's why the question is:
do you have any problem when you hellraise a rom? because if you do have problems, then it's necessary to port the rom(by port i mean recreating the features i implemented based on an original at&t rom, not just changin a damn kernel)

Crysis hellraise(should) make your ROM completely useable for our phones. Takes all of 1 minute to drag drop zip and then flash and test to make sure 100% working. That would be the easiest option that way when you release an update for i9100 you could just drag hellraise package into that update and release. Fairly easy process

Yea its 100% stable hellraised over. Thanks for thinking of the i777 peeps!
Heard from Cezar at all? Been a while since I've seen him on here or IRC.
no, I haven't spoke to Cezar since my i9000 days of deving. Last time I know he was very busy with his job
Just hell raised this ROM seems stable atm

As far as things that might be broken when Hellraising - see the Hellraiser thread for details. I try to track known issues.
Main things I can think of at this point are:
1) STOP_APP_SWITCHES protection level is set to 2 (signature) on I9100 ROMs. It's set to 3 (signature and system) on I777 ROMs. This causes force closes when tapping NFC tags with NDEF data. I haven't figured out how to fix this one yet.
2) Permissions get clobbered routinely for /data/misc/wifi, preventing tethering settings from being stored on XXKI3-based ROMs and many other 2.3.5 bases, however I've heard this is a problem for I9100 users even when running on their own devices.
FYI SensatioN 1.7 was Hellraiser's first test case.
As I always appreciate having new development and another choice for our awesome phone, this is not a rom yet, so Im going to move this to General. Please feel fre to carry on and conduct business as needed in this thread.
Since Task650 will be overseeing this when its ready, he can make his own thread... that way he can keep his own updates and thread updated as he sees fit.
Thank you all for cooperating.
I can't wait to see the outcome of the new sensation3 theme. The sensation ROM is favorite from the i9100. Does anyone know what the base for it will be for our phones?

Alright, this thread is for all developers to post their progress, sources, etc for other developers to work on. There will be NO tolerance of "Good job" "thanks" etc, just click the damned button on the bottom. Now, what I have so far, is found that the tiamat kernels from cayniarb don't even boot so no kernel logs from that. I assume jmz may have something to contribute with kernels.
Here's a port of the flyer ICS rom (not the one chaos is working on) for the view. It boots to a black screen but you can get a logcat. We have gotten it to the bootanimation before so it should'nt be hard to do. If someone posts logcats (since I don't have the view) I will still help out

Good Job and Thanks ...sorry i had to. But yeah, what we have now is looking like a kernel issue. I have source and Im looking at it but that DOES NOT mean, im going to be able to do something useful. lol.
What we really need is a good work over the kernel aspect.. I think cayniarb's done a decent job getting it initiated but he doesn't have a view to test it on :/
I only understand how to modify the source of existing kernels, getting AOSP kernel out of the source for whatever was tailored by HTC is way beyond my skill, so I look towards you guys for that.
We've have several guys trying to work on a kernel though, what's the status from each of their end? (Thought they were all working independently, etc)
sorry to jump in to this discussion, but had to know if development is under action here or somewhere else? WOuld love to see some progress with ics on View, cos right now my View is about to die... ive lost intesest in it. Its sluggish, slow and not optimized... have faith in you guys though

Any chance you still have that port? I might be able to make some head-way if all we need to get this booting is kernel work.
Hmm well that port is really outdated. I tell you what, I will try and get a basic port going of the Sense 4.0 ROM of the flyer and upload that for you guys to mess around with hopefully you will be able to get a logcat out of it

You're the man, thank you sir.
Well I'm trying to upload it and I keep getting stuck on 1% which is really annoying so I'll try again later.
You could possibly use the boot.img from the kingdom ICS leak (evo design 4g) since it's the same exact chip and pretty much the same Hw except for the screen(which could cause an issue?). I tried just booting that leak(only changing the partitions in the update-script to match the views) and of course it was a no go which I expected but had to give it a shot anyway. lol So then I edited the build.prop and copied over some libs (which I think is the problem since they are HC libs). I also unpacked both the stock HC boot.img and the kingdom leak boot.img. I'm thinking I have to make changes there but I dont know what to change. I dont even get logcat access just stuck at the HTC screen

You could try changing the bootclasspath in the init.rc file of the ramdisk to that of ICS? I've read around before that doing that would make a port boot but I've never had such luck in doing so. If I could ever get this uploaded maybe I can try and help if it has a logcat.

I had started a thread I just got the official ICS Upgrade
In that thread some had indicated that a custom ROM should
be used and not the the official ICS Upgrade from AT&T.
In an effort to not get that thread of track i will ask here:
What is the real difference with the AT&T Official ICS ROM and the Custom ROMs?
I am fully aware AT&T has loaded a bunch of junk in,
and I went through and disables and deleted much of it.
But what truly is so awful about it?
And if it truly is so bad, what is the "Correct" ROM to use?
Thank you
No such thing as correct or incorrect, it is all personal taste. Some might like one ROM over another. Does that make it better than another? Nope.
Take cars for example. Some people like to leave it stock. Some might like to increase its performance and add engine modifications. Some might like it to handle the roads better so they might upgrade its suspension. Others might like to change its appearance and paint it and add body-kits. Is one car better than the other? Depends on who you ask.

But before it dissapears. the main reason most of us say its bad, is with the history of At&t's releases. They mess stuff up, have issues within the kernals, and a big BIG issue with them right now that w/o source, we dont know if its fixed.

not taste/opinion in the fact(from their history) that the coding is a mess. and broken everywhere.
You come to a developer forum to run fully stock?
That's what goes through my head when I see people afraid of flashing.
If you want the AT&T firmware at least wait for somebody to post a debloated version since your going to disable them anyways or actually learn how to do it yourself. Since you have access to the forum with so much information.
Maybe take it 1 step further and grab the AT&T firmware and customize it to your liking, you don't even have to post it just use it.
This isn't a great thread cause Versus threads go nowhere...

There are many different things. Mods add to the functionality of the phone. Take the 14 toggle mod for instance, no need to enter settings to change common things. Skip tracks with volume buttons. You can also increase battery life with various kernels by UV/uc. It allows you to make your phone function and do what you want it to. The stock firmware is too limiting in this ability

Of course there is an increase in functionality or else why would devs create custom ROMs. What each ROM has that differs from others are listed in their respective threads. Check it out and see if any interest you. If you are satisfied with stock, stay stock. Not a big deal.

Honestly, I used to hang around here for the community - but that's quickly turning me into a simple lurker.
I'm extremely interested in the developers work. However, I find that the stock factory firmwares are every bit as good or stable as anything that gets turned out in the dev areas. The stock ROMs also do everything I need and want. Plus, I don't like AOSP Android, and that seems to be what everybody is focusing on these days. Also, the 3rd party roms generally have too much changed, removed or added for my tastes.
Edit: Oh, and while I generally like the OEMs code, I have no problem using a good 3rd party kernel.
AT&T releases are typically buggy. The developers here either fix those bugs, or use firmware bases from the international version that are more robust and stable. It is too early to know what bugs this UCLE5 release may contain, but the original AT&T UCKH7 firmware had lockscreen security issues, the official AT&T update UCKK6 broken bluetooth hid and serious power management issues. The AT&T ICS leaks leading up to this version, UCLD3 and UCLD4 had a very serious flaw in the kernel which caused several people with the I777 to lose their device due to eMMC chip damage. Since the kernel source code for the current official AT&T UCLE5 has not been released yet, it is not possible to confirm that the kernel supplied with the UCLE5 release is free of this serious issue. Therefore, it would be advisable to either not run this firmware, or use a modified rooted version in which the kernel is replaced with a known safe kernel.

you definitely haven't been running an android device if you say this (marked in BOLD). Considering the fact that for our device in particular, they have released BS that is not only buggy as hell, but has bricked a ton of devices. I think you should probably do a little research before making such bold comments. :laugh:
I got board enough to try the full LE5 including kernel. So far better than D4 and previous ics. Tegrak works as it does on the 9100 base kernels so that tells me i777 is catching up or has caught up. Could be just odex, but all benchmarks higher than on any of the aokp or 9100 sammy roms I've tried.
I'd like to see someone customize this if it remains stable. I've added 15 toggle from other roms, but I jusy like having firmware meant for device.
I-777 UCLE5
Tegrak oc/uv 1.452 ghz

I've been running Android devices and flashing firmwares since 2009.
I also haven't seen any of the bugs or issues mentioned on this forum. Doesn't mean they don't exist. The stock 2.3 rom that came with my GS2 from AT&T was amazingly, impressively stable compared to what came with my Vibrant, or even ANY of the community roms for it.
UCLE5 bug:
unable to use wide image for wallpaper, so you can only get a fixed wallpaper, not a scrolling wallpaper. This bug was present in the leaks, and has not been fixed in the official release.

I upgraded to the official ICS through kies, and have to say am not impressed at all by it. I waited for the official update and didnt root my phone to get ICS earlier. so now since i dislike the official, i want to go with a custom. now i have never rooted a phone before, but i have found some steps online on how to root a galaxy s2. The link is galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I have heard there are many ways to root the same device, where one may work better than another. So should i follow these steps, or does anyone recommend another way? is it even true there are more than one ways to root?
I'm just used to iphones one click jailbreaks.
I searched the forums but it seems no one really needs help with simple rooting anymore. My goal is to install Google Now onto my device. Thanks.

I'm sorry but everything is wrong about your post. You need to do some research before you root. NEVER use galaxys2root.com for anything. Google now only fully works on jellybean and until those roms come out you're out of luck.

I did alot of research, i didnt know galaxys2root wasnt a trustworthy site. Can you please recommend another way i could root after upgrading to official ICS? I have read a few articles about a port onto ICS devices. But if you dont recommend to do that just yet, i still want to flash a custom rom onto my device. i really hate the official at&t ics compared to the customs i have tried on other peoples phones.
I have read articles of how to root on here as well, but they are years old so im not sure if they are still the best method and are compatible for ICS.

got my answer forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 .if i dont know which kernel to choose should i be rooting my device? after rreading i was thinking to go with NEAK but then there are more options for AOSP/AOKP kernel, WITH mic swap, and WITHOUT mic swap. I know for i777 i need a without mic swap kenel, but whats the difference if i do the AOSP/AOKP kernel from the mic swaps?

Any of the four kernels linked in the OP of the thread you referenced will do. I don't think there are any other appropriate kernels anyway.
The kernel you need will be no mike swap, since this is not a converted I9100 rom. And it must work with Samsung roms, so AOSP/AOKP only kernels will not work.
It doesn't really matter much which one you choose, if you are going to flash a rom, since the rom will come with the rom developers preferred kernel anyway.

Exactly what it sounds like, the mic gets swapped

The i9100 ROMS that are ported to the i777 need the mic swap because the i9100 mics and ear piece are swapped. So you don't have to talk in to the ear piece on the i777....

I'm strangely happy about finding galaxys2root... I wished I'd started here so that my understanding of rooting , kernels, roms and all the tips and tricks made some sort of sense to me....
With that said w/o the sells pitch of the AOKP and the video from that website I wouldn't have chanced "brick'n" my GS2(at&ti777) for the AOKP and luckily i got it working and love it so much it had me searching more about it and found XDA; TASK650, WONNER... I'd love to say I'm going to read 1000's of post a day to get caught up to speed but there's going to be probably 10X more post a day than i can read so I'll just keep falling behind...
What I'd like to know is now that someone(me) has done the half/hazard root job and has a functioning rom/phone... exactly in really boring spoon feeding language and pretty pictures go about getting everything needed to get to the latest kernels/roms for AOKP
Here's my current settings thanks to outdated rootgs2....

So... I'm proud I got the latest AOKP on my AT&T GS2... so what would I do to get fluxxi around here???
I feel like it's Russian roulette every time i try something with my phone... exciting but not so much if i f'up... in easy steps can the kernel be replaced from the current rom without restarting all over again? What would fluxxi do for me being I don't know what day it is???
--Barry
You shouldn't install fluxi until you know why you want it.
In the mean time, the kernel you installed with your AOKP is just fine.

WELCOME! I see alot of noobs here and i would suggest that you take some time to READ READ READ, here on xda. There are stickies in every sub-section worth reading. ALL.. and i mean ALL your questions have been asked at least 1000 times, any information you need is right here in these threads. You will def. get ALOT more help if you just take your time and read the threads, We were all noobs once... and for gods sake use the thanks button if someone has given you information, or helped in anyway!
If i were to recommend a rom to anyone that wants the ICS experience, i would have to go with TASK650&Ktoonsez AOKP. It is simple enough for someone who is new to set up and as you learn more things you will be able to discover you can pretty much customize anything you'd like with it. As far as Kernels go, everyone experiences different results. One may yield great battery life and be as smooth as butter for me, and the same one might not play nice with yours. So the best advice is to Flash all of them (not at once:laugh and let it settle in (usually like 3 charge cycles) and make your decision off of that.
Hope this helps some...
Thanks for the input... I'd only seen one thing that made me want aokp without a clue of what else it may have/do. After installing it... I needed private time alone with all of the wonderful finger strokes I'd given my screen
I'll reluctantly read what I can find on what the geek the flux capacitor does... but please feel free to give out the high lights to why you have it or had it installed and if there's reasons you don't have it any more then number one con to not use the fluxster.
Thanks again xda masters!
