This is a continuation of my previous ShishirROM series of ROMS that started out on Gingerbread 2.3.4, and have evolved and expanded to today, where the latest version of ShishirROM is based off of XWLPG 4.0.3. Aberration is built completely independent of those and the only resemblance to my old ROMs is the dialer, which was an original creation anyways, but at it's heart, it's the next step. The ROM focuses on speed and smoothness and battery life. It incorporates common-sense fixes and ground-breaking features as well as third-party applications that bring something new to the table every time you use them. The ROM was inspired by the old Samsung gingerbread ROMS -- they were stable, fast, and just worked. This ROM manages to bring the same sort of feel back to the table while maintaining an updated look similar to the Galaxy S3 series of phones, and Android's resident Holo design. The Aberration Settings application is an extension of this ROM that lets you change some deeper settings, such as using Lidroid's beautiful 14 Notification Widget Mod instead of the default themed widgets, as well as provide an easier way for users to update to the latest version of Aberration, no matter which model of the Galaxy S2 they're running. This ROM aims to be the ONE ROM that supports every Galaxy S2 phone, and brings them on par with the super-phones coming out later this year. It's an update away from giving your phone four cores, two gigs of RAM, and a 4.8" SAMOLED HD display.

I built this ROM directly from XXLPM stock, not ported it from another unrelated device, sorry if that was unclear. The Galaxy S2 i777 and Galaxy S2 i9100 are EXTREMELY alike, so alike in fact that about five files hold the changes between them. No actual porting was done.
And I can't provide a link to the original since I made this, and this is the original lol. It's just a Stock Samsung ROM based off of 4.0.4 LPM with a few tweaks and fixes thrown in.
EDIT: Let me try and be more clear: this ROM was built off of XXLPM. It was initially tested on the i777 because that happens to be the device I have, but the development of the ROM was exactly the same for both versions. The i777 and i9100 versions are very different. Different modems, kernels, libs, etc. This ROM truly was built for both devices in mind, therefore it isn't a port.

What he means is that what special features or original features does the rom have in order for it to stay in the original development for example paranoidandroid, it has the capability of changing per app dpi, from phone ui to a tablet ui etc. Jkay framework which can customize almost everything from the lockscreen to the notification bar. Because if it is just a cooked rom with some features that has been gotten from other devs, it should belong to android development. But i may be wrong, maybe you have something special in the settings you mention on the OP. Good luck on your rom bdw.

It's fantastic, thanks man.
Sweet looks like it works Removing all beta tags right now.

Depends specifically which zip. Go for it and if it messes up, just flash this ROM again to go back to default
Hello,
I wanted to try your rom, so i downloaded the i9100 zip and followed the installation steps and i got installation completed without any problems.
Then i choosed to reboot. The screen showed the Siyah logo, then the phone gave me a sound... and then nothing. Black screen. I have tried again and again but the same result. Maybe i am doing something wrong.
Thanks
too much bloatware dude.. maybe make a slim version
same issue. after siyah bootanimation a sound and then the screen blanks out.

What kind of a rude person are you ? This is no way to post something on a thread
Anybody else facing this issue. Any suggestions for this issue.
For everyone facing the black screen issue, first make sure you're running the i9100 version, and confirm that you wiped data before installing, then try flashing another i9100 kernel before you boot up for the first time. It sounds like the kernel didn't get flashed for some reason. I'll have to do some more digging. If anyone can grab a logcat then i'd appreciate it, although I don't know if the Log service got started after the Siyah screen.
If it still doesn't work, it may not have gotten installed properly. Try going into mounts/storage in CWM and wipe /system, manually do a factory reset/wipe data, and wipe cache as well. That should get everything.
EDIT: If you're getting the sound after boot, that just means the boot animation isn't showing for some reason. Give it five minutes and see if the phone boots up. If so then I'll upload a fix for this when someone confirms that's the issue.

I don't quite understand what you mean by bloatware, since I allowed you to pick if you wanted to install most of it, and I allowed you to remove bloatware post-install anyways. Can you list some apps that you'd want an option to remove?

If you post in this thread and it is clear that you have not read the posts indicated above, your post will be reported. For other discussion and "Is this a bug?" type questions, go to the Q&A Thread
Heeeeere we go! As LinuxBozo, one of the most talented developers in the Infuse community said, "Welcome to a new and sick, twisted world!"
Over in the Infuse community, we had an oddball device that had little in common with anything else. As a result, it was not easy to port ROMs from the I9000/Captivate. However, after LOTS of work, LinuxBozo pulled it off and came up with an automatic porting package that could get most I9000/Captivate ROMs running on the Infuse. As a result, it opened the Infuse community up to a massive variety of ROMs.
For the month since the I777 came out, people keep asking about I9100 ROMs. In general, the answer has been, "It should be possible, but no one other than designgears has done it yet." - I didn't have the time as I had too much kernel work to do. However, as the kernel is at a fairly mature and stable state, when someone asked for SensatioN to be ported, I figured it was time for a challenge.
I was successful, but encountered a few glitches. Tethering was broken, fortunately the Infuse community had the same issue and the same fix worked. Mic in calls was broken, just like CM7 - I finally got atinm's list of the blobs to swap out. As a result, nearly all of the challenges in porting an I9100 ROM to the I777 have been identified.
This is a package that should automatically port most I9100 ROMs to the I777. It has been tested by myself as follows:
SensatioN 1.8 by Crysis21 has been manually "Hellraised", and was the basis on which this package was developed. Do note that the author of this ROM tends to be unresponsive to porters. I asked for permission to release a ported ROM but never heard back.
VillainROM 3.0 was the first ROM to be tested with the attached package - it seems to work, if there are any problems, it is likely because I missed something in the permissions settings of the updater script. - Also, I have tested JKay's Deluxe Themes on VillainROM successfully - his thread is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278 - You need to use the XXKI3 theme packages.
In general, XXKI3-based ROMs work. XXKI4-based ROMs may have issues with WiFi (see Known Issues below). I am working on compiling a more complete list in the Q&A Thread.
Please don't report bugs with ROMs to the upstream author of the ROM in the event that the bug was caused by Hellraising - unfortunately, it is going to be very difficult to identify when Hellraising caused a bug and when the ROM itself has a bug.
Instructions for the package:
Download an I9100 ROM to be Hellraised - must be CWM-flashable Gingerbread (ICS will NOT happen until after kernel source code becomes available, and if you spam me with 10000 "did you see this" links when it does I'll just go watch some TV. You have been warned.), and must be Samsung-derived (not CM7/MIUI/AOSP-based), ROMs distributed as Odin .tar files like Litening won't work. (I've tried...)
Download the package above
Unzip the ROM, check to make sure it does not have bootloaders. If it has Sbl.bin or param.lfs in it, RUN AWAY. No ROM developer should EVER include a bootloader without explicit warnings of this, if a ROM includes a bootloader it's a sign that it'll be **** in almost all cases. Similarly, param.lfs corruption can lead to a device that won't boot and I believe it can even break download mode. ROMs shouldn't be messing with this either without warning users.
Once you've done your safety check, put the ROM zip and the Hellraiser zip onto your SD card
Enter CWM
You should probably do a Nandroid backup here...
Wipe Data/Factory Reset - Some ROMs write apps to /data and you'll lose these if you wipe afterwards
Flash the ROM, DO NOT REBOOT, STAY IN CWM
Flash the Hellraiser package
Reboot and enjoy!
Known issues:
NFC files are included, but enabling NFC requires smali modifications to Settings.apk on some ROMs. (Starting to look like this is only for I777 stock-derived ROMs - VillainROM doesn't actually need any smali.)
Touching an NFC tag containing NDEF data will cause the NFC service to crash due to being unable to obtain STOP_APP_SWITCH permissions
Wifi tethering settings are not persistent and keep resetting themselves (At least on SensatioN and VillainROM) - Workaround for now: Enable tethering, THEN set the SSID and password, OR see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335377&page=24
When initially setting up the ROM, it claims that network time is not available, and takes you to Settings - where you can check it to enable it and it works fine... Infuse Hellraiser had the same issue. Happens only once per flash so it's a very low priority.
When flashing other ROMs that do device compatibility checks (such as CM7), they will think you have an I9100 instead of I777. You need to flash an I777 ROM first.
Download links have been moved to the ChangeLog post (Post #2 below)!
Alpha 0.3.1 Release, 12/3/2011:
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/NUV8KDF9OZ or http://dev-host.org/4up if MultiUpload never comes back
Changes:
Only one - actually include Daily Driver 12/1/2011. People who flashed 0.3.0 only need to reflash Daily Driver from my kernel thread, no need for a full flash of Hellraiser.
Alpha 0.3.0 Release, 12/1/2011:
Download: PULLED, BAD RELEASE: Use 0.3.1 instead. If you already flashed 0.3.0, flash the 12/1 release of Daily Driver
Changes:
Update to some random kernel pulled from the wrong location on my hard drive
Overwrite /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with a "known good" one
Overwrite the CSC with a "known good" one
Home button haptic fix, courtesy of LinuxBozo of Infuse Hellraiser. Thanks to amtrakcn for pointing out that LinuxBozo's fix works on our device
Alpha 0.2.2 Release, 11/10/2011:
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/C1W5S6XW0R
Changes: Update to Daily Driver 11/10/2011 kernel (disables autoroot which broke root for a bunch of people), tiny installer script cleanups.
If root is working well for you, it is not worth flashing this
If root is broken for you, I recommend installing Daily Driver 11/10 and flashing ChainsDD's latest su package (linked from the DD thread's first post now). If you flash this it will remain broken, this only fixes new installs
Alpha 0.2.1 Release, 11/08/2011:
Download http://www.multiupload.com/ORQESFHVBT
Changes: Only one, replace Nfc.apk with the correct one. Fixes NFC service force closes.
Alpha 0.2 Release, 11/07/2011:
Download - PULLED due to excessive fail. Use 0.2.1 instead!
Changes:
Should now flash without the mount workaround trick after ROMs that unmount /system
Added NFC files from the I777 and one permissions XML - These combined with a small mod to Settings.apk will allow NFC to work. Will post details for ROM devs on making these mods soon. NOTE: Right now this only supports reading tags! Google Wallet support requires a LOT more work, if even possible! (Edit: I'm fairly certain it'll only be possible in CM7 - but I think I also know what's needed for the CM7 guys to get the rest of the way there.
Initial release, 11/06/2011:
Version - Alpha 0.1
Download - http://www.multiupload.com/9RJKKSBFZ0
How it works
Here's the details of how this package works.
1) This package replaces the modem with a known good I777 modem
2) It also replaces the kernel with an I777 kernel (Right now, Daily Driver 11/03 release) - This is half of the keymap fix. Also, DD 11/3 contains a fix that allows wifi tethering to work on both I777-derived ROMs and I9100-derived ROMs
3) It replaces two of the keymap files in /system/usr/keylayout/ - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313050&page=56 for details - thanks to MikeyMike01 and Dungeon47 for this one
4) It replaces most of the audio library files to fix the issue with outgoing mic audio in calls - this is the same fix used by Cyanogenmod 7 - see https://github.com/koush/proprietar...12f711197665edeb28522386a77a62da24bab#diff-28 for details, thank atinm for this one
Attached:
Hacked settings APK for VillainROM 3.0 - This, along with Alpha 0.2.1, should allow you to turn on NFC. May work on other XXKI3-based ROMs
For ROM Authors:
To get NFC to show in Settings, baksmali the Settings APK and open WirelessSettings.smali
Look for the line below:
Code:
invoke-static {p0}, Landroid/nfc/NfcAdapter;->getDefaultAdapter(Landroid/content/Context;)Landroid/nfc/NfcAdapter;
Delete the next two instances of lines that contain the word removePreference
NFC should then show in Wireless settings
Great work! I can't wait to try this out when I have some free time.
well aren't you awesome bro. Thanks a lot. This opens the door to a lot of good things.
this looks awesome i have to find a rom i want to try from their forums though since lite'ening doesnt work

Unsure yet - most likely any remaining issues will be common.
The one thing might be if the ROM has a special unusual kernel dependency. I'm not too far from Ninphetamine, but there might be some wacky kernels out there that have wacky ROMs paired with them. Such ROMs would even have problems with other I9100 kernels on the I9100.
I don't expect anything to be blatantly obvious at this point... My biggest worry is that I botched the permissions in the updater script.

I have been having numerous issues trying to get ICScrewd to run on my phone and I am almost certain its a kernel issue.
It was suggested that I swap out the kernel before flashing and that sounds like a great idea to me.
Except...... I don't know how.
Is it as simple as taking the zImage from the kernel zip I want and placing it in the rom zip I want?
Can I ignore the META-INF folder or do I need to somehow merge that over too?
I am sure there is a wiki or a how-to on this but I have looked and cant find it. Its probably because I don't know phrase my search.
But anyway, if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Just curious since I have never tried a mod with any major changes, what are the benifits of changing out the Kernel, and what are the differences between them?

For myself the benefit was actually being able to run the ICScrewd rom at all.
In my experience of several years of flashing, some kernels just wont work with some phones.
It sound odd and all that, but my real world experience has led me to give each kernel I am interested in several tried and if they continually crash my phone I move on. I have no idea why this would be. Coming from the Captivate I tried all sorts of kernel and rom combinations. If they didn't work well I just moved on.
As far as different kernels go, some have better battery life than others due to built in tuning I believe. They can be cleaned up to help your phone run faster. And obviously from my experience here in this thread, help your phone be stable.
Excuse my noobness, please. I figured this would be a pretty relevant thread to post this question.
I flashed Siyah 2.6.9 via Odin and then in recovery installed ICScreweD. Did doing so revert my kernel to the older version of Siyah used in the rom?
If so, can I just flash in the newer version using Odin or should I research another method?
This is my first root/mod so I'm still a little nervous about messing up.

yes this reverted to the older kernel included in the rom, to flash the newest kernel. Load the zip of the kernl onto your sd card, enter CWM and flash the zip. Much easier to do than with odin.
Thanks! I was pretty sure that was the case but figured I should ask anyway. I've been lurking these forums for a while and it's awesome how helpful this community is to everyone.
While on the subject of ICScreweD, is there anything I will lose by going to the green edition? The website is kinda unclear as to if there are any features not yet available in the green edition.

WANTED: Users to port SGS roms to the 4.0. You will need to know how to complete a full restore if something goes wrong, but that's it. I cannot go through the forums searching for good SGS roms, as I have several threads to manage, and a rom to work on. The steps are easy for you though, and if you port a rom I will add it in the OP.
First of all, I want to say that I take NO credit on any of these roms. All I did was port them over and add speed tweaks, or added ones that users have ported. If the rom creators or mods have any issue whatsoever with this thread, I will happily take it down, even though I think it would be a large contribution to the 4.0 community. I will continue to update this forum with info as I go along.
I, after a fortunate afternoon of boredom, have managed to successfully begin porting I9000 roms to our devices! Fortunately, they are similar enough that it boots without any modifications. I will put up here any ports that I make, and any that the users create. Note that these WILL NOT BE UPDATED! These are one-time ports, to be used and improved upon by the community. Anything that is broken now will stay broken, unless a user decides to fix/update it, then I will include it in the OP.
What *should* work in all ported roms:
wifi
GPS
home buttons
everything else
What will probably *not* work on ported roms:
Bluetooth
Camera
backlight on buttons
Ported roms:

To use these Roms:
You MUST use a Gplayer kernel! GT-I9000 kernels will not boot!
A full wipe may be necessary with some roms if you encounter issues.
Converting (for porters)
Steps:
1. Download wanted rom (must be GB)
2.Move the zip to the internal sdcard
3.Reboot into recovery
4.Flash zip, then boot into download mode
5.Flash a SGP kernel
6. apply my mod pack to the rom, by either copying/pasting the system directory over the SGS rom's system directory, or by pushing it via adb, (eg. adb push /path/to/modpack /system).
7. Profit!
NOTE: after applying this, porters may want to remove non-working packages such as the dialer and mms, as they may cause issues with the end result if they are kept in. Do not delete phone.apk though!! This is required for the camera and some other things, and breaks stuff on certain roms. You have been warned.
NOTE: If you use this modpack, please give me credit, and link back to this thread so that more people can use it. Also, you should probably link back to the ported rom's thread as well, to avoid "ripping off" those devs.
Modpack:
Changelog
V1-
Preliminary release
Fixes wifi and GPS
Includes v6 supercharger and init.d tweaks
V2-
fixed vold.fstab so sdcard is mounted properly.

ModpackV1:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?diaq6im4i18ktf7
NOTE:Note that this is preliminary. It fixes everything listed, and attempts to fix some broken things. Your mileage may vary. This is not a cwm flashable zip! you much extract and adb push this over the existing system directory. This is mainly intended for porters, so users apply at your own risk. This will work, but is a very early release.

Looking good! Does the gamerz port have the 388mb of ram, I thought that was kernal related?

Yeah, it says that because it includes semaphore's kernel, which raises the max rom to 380, which we could do on our kernel's, but apparently that breaks a lot of stuff if you go much further then 350 (according to klin).
is the wifi fixed in your port or do we have to do your fix after flashing?
Just a word of advice, make sure you get permission from the devs! Also surely this will work with ICS roms right? Just swap out the SGS kernel with the SGP CM7 kernel and it should work (I think)

check over in the operation: ics for the 4.0 thread I believe they are already attemping to use the cm7 kernel to boot a cm9.

Yeah, it is fixed before you flash. Once I manage to iron out a few more bugs, I will probably release a "conversion pack" that fixes all the issues. I already have one that fixes wifi and gps, but bluetooth and camera have me stumped, and I do not want to replace the entire hw/lib folder, because some of these roms have lib optimizations, but I may have to.

Since I am merely redistributing their work, not incorporaring it into anything I have made, or taking any credit for it, I don't asking permission is necessary. I may be completely off base, but I think that as long as you give devs 100% credit, and link to their original work, it is okay. It may not be the best option, but neither is asking EVERY dev if I can port their rom, or ask permission for user-ported roms.
Youay have an idea there, althouh I think that zaclimon has tried it, and he said it wouldn't boot. I have 2 efs backups, so I guess I can try, although even if the kernel boots, I bet I will have to do a LOT more work before it is usable. I also believe that he said the issues may have been rom based, so here it goes, and wish me luck.

I've already tried with a cm7 kernel and I got an error of looping (netd1.0 starting) that's why I'm trying to do something. Now I need to backport 3.0.8 usb gadget drivers.

Whoops, I meant you . I will try with a official cm9 build from the SGS forums, and see if that fares any better. Probably will not, but it doesn't hurt to try.
EDIT: well, nevermind about that. He seems to have pulled all of his download links, and I cannot get to the CM7 build. Oh well...
I am going to try anyway with the I9000 package since it seems to have EXT4 support, and I *think* that was what was bootlooping me earlier. This as all just my hopeful rationalization, of course . A lot farther out there, but maybe I can use a SGP5.0 kernel to get it booting. A LOT less likely, but hey, i'm experimenting .
EDIT: I cannot try ICS, since I need to reboot into recovery a second time, and I cannot do that, as I have the intl bootloader on my US device, and it would require it to be booting first.

I think we should do like entrophy's because I get bored from mtd. Also just tried the gamerz rom port. As I see the camera works, don't know about bluetooth (it can turn on). Vibration works too. I was able to connect to wifi pretty fast and I have one word for this rom. FAST!!!!
Good job!!

Well, thet camera shows a preview, but fails when a pic is taken, for some reason. Bluetooth does turn on, but is not seen by any other devices, and cannot scan for others either. I did do a little tweaking with Gamerz, so it will be even faster than it was already, which is pretty blazing! I have 2 more that I can put up (I have a preliminary package that I just adb push over the system files that works for now). I have also gotten the camera apk onto my rom, and it works really well! It doesn't take 5 MP pics, or record 720p video (which may be because I am using Terrasilent, which reduces the amount of Vram the system can have), but tap to autofocus and everything else works pretty well. I have a sneaking suspicion that the camera is soft limited, not hard-limited.
I also noted that the external sd card isn't working too (a problem with vold.fstab I'll correct it right now)

Here's the vold.fstab if you need it
Okay, it seems that the zip hosed my partitions (converted them to yaffs2 and mtd), so I am going to perform a full restore, and just keep porting GB roms. As soon as you can get the usb gadget driver working, zaclimon, I guess I can keep working on it, but for now I will just keep to GB.
Two more roms up! I will probably not port any other unless I see an especially good one, but I will put up my mod pack tomorrow.
has anyone found out if the ported roms enable tv out or has someone found out if tv out support is in the i9000 kernal?
TV out has to have hardware, or your not going anywhere. I think the galaxy player lacks the hardware unfortunately. If it does have the hardware, it was very dumb of Samsung not to enable it.

what hardware does the galaxy s i9000 have that allows for tv out? I thought the galaxy s i9000 and the galaxy player 4.0 had the same gpu?

Good luck.

Look man, I understand this is your first ROM. Now, as you already know, we have CM9, the only changes you made are de-bloating the rom. But, we can all already do that using Titanium Backup, I'd say you gotta add something to this ROM to attract users. Don't get me wrong, you've done a great job. I mean, I can't even do what you did. But all the same, these people won't try out the ROM unless they find something new or better in it.
Looking forward to something better from you. I know you got the potential.
If it was a suggestion you wanted, if you make a CM10 ROM, I'll definitely try it!
Cheers.

Rom Video Installation Link
https://youtu.be/A3AbQHEjkRo
1. Watch Video (if downloaded old rom before V5)
1A. If downloaded V5 install as any other ROM use XAS or SPR CSC in aroma, reboot into recovery, clean kernel with cleaner, then install kernel of choice, reboot to system, wait 15 min. Profit.
2. Activate VM [email protected]
3. Give thanks or donate thanks for any donations
4. Enjoy
Note. Regular Message app wont work fully please use Textra or another alternate to the base one as it can send text and receive but cannot send Multimedia text. I recommend Textra Its beautiful and it automatically picks up Sprint APN Settings

Does SMS/MMS and data work with this? Are there any quirks like some of the other ROMs, like if the other person hangs up first you lose data? Or is this like a Sprint based port similar to Sac's, where all native things work including updating PRL/Profile etc? If so that would be AWESOME.

Please read the original post. This is not like sacs. I dont have that kind of time to have that correctly fixed but its in there I just dont know how to activate those feature (PRL, Profile Update). SMS works but again not fully for Multimedia. Use alternate app for text like Textra if you want full capabilities. I did reach out to Sac23 for advice but he stated and i quote "Its not as simple as copy and paste" "Plus i no longer have a note 3 with Sprint to be able to test" Yet if any other developer has the time to help me fix it id gladly welcome it. It does not have FC on hangup
