[Q] Flash Stock before ROM? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I was on the Samsung Captivate and I had to flash stock before switching between CM9, MIUI, and Samsung ROMs so that I wouldn't get force closes. I was wondering if I need to do the same for my SII? Thanks for the advice.

How Many Eris Roms Are Out?

I've only come across one and that was Evil Eris Rom. Is there any others out because I'm anxious to try all of them.

Have you guys heard of the Lean Machine Rom. Does the MMS on that rom not work?

I'm the author of that rom. I built it for personal use, but have since moved on as it was built on the old 2.1 leak.
MMS was working fine last time I used the rom. I am now working on some for the new OTA Leak, and should have one out soon.

Disable SMS from showing up in call log?

Is there any way to disable messages from showing up in my call log? I have been trying to figure this out since I got my phone, I went through all the menus/options and nothing... I text quite a lot so it's pretty annoying seeing every message on my log when I need t find a call.
I know you can hit menu > view by and I could select received calls, rejected calls, etc... but I want to be able to view ALL calls.
Thanks!

I've updated two phones today but they were both stock so I don't know yet. Still early going so I have no real feedback as of yet.
My biggest question is can I upgrade all my 2.3.x phones to this over the air, or will I have to hack 4.0 on there first anyway? I literally spent hours upgrading 5 S2s to 4.0.3 two days ago seeing as there was no other way. Then I see this today. Ah well, better late than never I guess. I have 4 s2 devices to get to 4.0 anyway I can so I'm hoping I can just call the users and tell them to do it over the air.

Back on Topic, I tried the update this evening on my rooted stock ICS S2 (replacement came with 4.0.1 on it from AT$T). Of course, it failed. I'm sure it is because I uninstalled some system app. I didn't note which ones I got rid of. Does anyone have a list or link to a list of the apps that came with the phone originally? I want to reinstall them so I can update. Thanks!

[Q] Best kernel for Note 3?

Just looking for something with great battery life and good performance. I'm running CyanogenMod 11. I've heard that the under-clocking when sleeping is useful but I need some more info on the stability of that to be sure. Any tips on kernels would be nice! New to the modding scene so the kernel is the hardest part for me to choose.

I may have flashed TW the first time. I tried the aosp one and it worked. Its weird, when I flash a non-sprint version of things it works better than when I flash spr. Cyanogenmod didnt install until I used the plain ROM. Can you explain that?
