Looking for testers for a ROM - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

If you are interested and able to provide helpful feedback, I am looking for a few testers. My rom is based on 2.3.4 and is seriously debloated (120MB). If you need stock apps, this rom may not be for you.

What base is it? (not just android version)

UCKH7 base
UCKH7 modem
Siyah 2.6.7 kernel

Oh damn... that is tempting. I got the absolute best battery life on UCKH7, but man, switching roms is so much work, and the one I currently have is really stable. If only I had an extra SGSII

It's alright, I'm sure others will want to give it a try.

Making another swirl into the ROM business I see brother...welcome back

Yea, I'm actually on my 7th revision of this rom

I'll bite. With nandroid what is there to lose?

I like 2.3.4
I like kh7
I like siyah 2.6.7
Count me in!

I would like to try it, might as well because I could test and then nandroid back to my current rom!

I would like to test it out. I have the whole weekend to try something new.

I'm interested but not too interested in Siyah kernel. No offense to any devs I'm just a lot happier with Entropys DD Kernel.

You can flash Entropy's kernel after flashing the ROM.
Sent from myphone.

Just to let everyone know there are known issues with this ROM which is why I am doing private testing. Everyone uses their phone differently and I am always surprised at what kind of feedback I get. I will PM everyone with the download link and all you need to do is PM me back your findings.

Haha I know.
But if Siyah was the intended kernel my test won't be consistent with what is expected.

You could let me know if using DD has a negative effect on the rom. But I guess you'd have to use it at least once with siyah in order to compare.

I don't mind giving Siyah another go, why not

If you need more testers let me know. I'll play around with it and try a bunch of stuff. Can i drink beer while i do it?

No more testers until the next release. Everyone has been extremely helpful in finding bugs so I thank all of you.

Cool, good luck with it, bro.

What Kernel do you prefer?

After trying a few, which kernel do you prefer and run as your normal kernel?
For me, I have to stick with Entropy's Daily Driver kernel. Its just rock solid for me and its nice to know that we have a dedicated kernel dev who is always looking to better his kernel and when there were some problems he went through his whole patch-a-day to try and pinpoint the issues and resolve them. My hats off to him.

Im with you. EDD is my fav.
they are both extremely solid. I slightly prefer Siyah only because I tend to get better battery life when combined with the "init.doh" scripts
+1 for Entropy... been rock in for weeks now with zero issues and great battery life. I am so excited to see what he has in store for us now that we have ics source.

Weren't all these threads nuked before?
Entropy always, but if I wanted something experimental I tried Siyah.

We dont do "POST THE BEST ROM" threads. This is a poll to see what people run.
I am using Entropy and it has been rock solid. No freezes or anything. For me with Siyah I would have multiple lockups throughout the day that I had to reboot to get past. Granted I was using Siyah on cm7 though as that may make a difference.

The recovery menus with the siyah kernal are much more compact. It's annoying have to scroll through all the -NO- options when trying to flash something. Don't have to go through all that when you have the siyah kernel.

So I just flashed team venom's latest rom and I'm having problems loosing data. Hoping changing the kernel will fix it. Any ideas on a good kernel? Thanks!
There are no custom kernels for ICS. Try reflashing the rom or try a different rom

This is not entirely true. I'm using this kernel and haven't had any data issues that I can tell. I've changed my radio to only take LTE/CDMA only since I get 4g all the time, but havnt seen any drops.

Its the same kernel as stock just overclocked, which means worse batter life

Meh, battery life is for razor maxx users. I like performance. there's another kernel over in the mikmik forums (or maybe it was the BAMF forums now that I think about it) but it didn't work on ics sense 4, didn't try it on a sense 3.6 ics...although I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference. Theres nowhere that I've seen in the post where it says what its for. My guess is GB roms though.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Yeah probably GB. HTC hasn't released source for ics, so making custom kernels is really difficult and almost impossible to get stable so that's why there are no custom kernels for ics

Dual boot GB and JB possible?

I'm in siyah kernel running super nexus ROM and i was wondering if its possible I tried searching I couldn't find anything who knows maybe my search skills suck but yea I just need to know if its possible

I get what you're asking but why not just dual boot ICS and Jelly bean? If you're concerned about stability you won't have any issues with ICS if you're running a decent Rom. Just my opinion.

ICS feels so buggy compared to GB. Things just always worked better on GB. But I digress.

I disagree if you find a good ICS rom ICS is much better then GB There is just no comparison between the 2 with the right rom it can run just as smooth as GB but with some added features that really come in handy

The extra features are the only reason I am on ICS. I am running SHOstock2, which IMO is probably the best ICS rom, but it is still a bit buggier than GB. As with the OP, once there is a stable JB rom, I would love to dual boot GB and Jellybean.

if you look at my signiture i am running shostock2 as well as Phonebricker dualboot I tend to lean more towards phonebreaker than shostock a little more responsive

If the ICS is buggie to you now, then you would expect a very very very long time to get a "stable, buggie-free" JB ROM.

I'll happily wait. What's the point of having a DD that isn't stable on a daily basis. Anyways, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Surprised this thread is still going, isn't the below still accurate (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24724563&postcount=3296):
"20) Can i have one GB rom and second ICS rom?
A. No
21) Why?
A. Kernel partition is shared between roms. Dual boot functionality is implemented in ICS kernel. ICS kernel can run only ICS roms."
If GB and ICS didn't work, I don't see why JB and GB would suddenly work.

Latest Kernel Module, tun.ko?

Hey All,
I finally decided to go down the vpn path, and the Play tun.ko Installer app points me to a list that says it's good for kernel version 2.6.35.7. That sounds like a gb kernel. I'm stock ics with kernel 3.0.16-something.
I've searched the forums here, but didn't find anything. That was a pretty big surprise.
Can anyone out there point me to a currently acceptable version of this module?
Many thanks!
cheers,
john

I hope you hardcores won't mind that I'm reviving this thread---I've spent just a little bit of time educating myself on things.
Let me reframe my original question: I'd like to find a kernel that has tun.ko baked in, and that I can use with my current, stock ICS ROM; can anyone out there help me in that quest?
many thanks,

...yes, that was what I meant when I said that I'd educated myself just a bit on things. Still, there are some nuances to flashing kernels that I'm quite positive mean that I have more to learn to figure things out fully.
Anyway, I'll take a look at Snuzzo's kernel.

[Q] 4.0.4 Kernels?

Hi guys. I am running Black Star XI and im trying to find a kernel that will O/C and Fast Charge. I have been looking around and all the kernels i find are for GB or JB. If someone could link me to a kernel that has the O/C and Fast Charge features that would be most appreciated. Or even give me links to multiples one =). Thanks guys.

I'm on 4.0.4 stock, and I've been using flaps kernel. It oc's if you want, but it's plenty fast on default. Download from goo manager dev/flappjaxxs touchwiz kernel. I don't know about fast charge though, sorry.

Make sure black star is compatible with the kernel before flashing!
Well i tried the kernels and they didnt work properly. The phone booted up but kept having f/c's on system ui.apk and the phone would glitch up. Restored my nandroid and back up and running fine. Anyone happen to know any more kernels for 4.0.4?

There are no custom kernels for the n7005 based roms due to not having source. If you want oc on black star then flash version x of the Rom
