ICS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Listen guys im coming from the cappy. im reading these stickies but i want to make sure that im doing this right as borking my phone is NOT an option. I just flashed stock-rooted kh7 through odin. Whats the fastest way to get to ICS? I was reading that i have to flash a gb kernel with mobile odin...is this required or is there a new quicker way? Thanks fellas

Unless you want to do it with AT&T's stock firmware over Kies (which I don't suggest) then you're going to need CWM. Odin/Mobile Odin-ing a custom kernel's the easiest way to install that.

To get a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, you must flash a GB kernel while you have a GB stock system.
I've never tried this, but you could probably install mobile odin and flash the full ICS firmware of your choice without installing a custom kernel first. I don't see any reason that would not work.

Took safe route lol. Any suggestions for smoothest ics rom? Ultimatum has a lag issue when pressing home button

Wrong question to ask bud. Try reading through some of the ones that look interesting and decide from there. If you don't like one, try another.

AOKP works great, you can disabled the boot animation under general UI settings.

I've been running AOKP for months, and not a pink unicorn in sight.
Also, what do you mean by "ports not allowed"? We have an entire subforum dedicated to ported development.

To each their own brother. If unicorns are your thing then go for it. No one asked for your opinion on what you think about me not liking unicorns. That being said I may now try this. Call me old fashioned but I have no desire for pink anywhere on my phone. I have a high maintenance wife and two year old daughter. There's enough PINK in my life :beer:

I guarantee with done tweaking you can make that img something else. It's just an image file that's pulled for that section of the ui coding.

14 toggles from skyrocket forum?

I thought I saw someone say that on the ICS leak we can add a 14 toggle mod from the skyrocket ICS to work on the note. Anyone have info in that regard?
I'm still on GB but will be upgrading soon and looking for this mod most definitely. Battery percentage too... in blue!!!!
Ideas?

I'm running dagr8 version with blue ui from from OP and 15 toggle mod from the theme/app section in this forum (mod from skyrocket ics). It all works and looks great. This rom is sivkeningly awesome BTW. I have no complaints. It felt slow and laggy at first but it seems like the more I use it and the longer I run it gets smoother. Just settling in I guess.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have spent the last day or so trying to get ICS up and running, but I run into this one problem. Both the 14 and 15 toggle panels, on both Alpha 1 and 2, seem to work fine but result in SystemUI crashes when trying to use USB mass storage. I have reflashed probably a dozen times now, with both alphas, wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions, with no luck. Yet I have seen only maybe 1 post with similar issues.
Am I doing something wrong? Or do I just have horrible luck and need to try for lucky number 13? Fortunately ICS and Apex are still alot of fun to use so I don's miss the toggles much, it's just frustrating to be the only one.

Conspiracy Theorists : AT&T limits update requests

I tried to check for any updates (ICS? ) and got a reply back saying I could try again in 23H 55m. What does this mean? Anyone???
My guess is ATT is annoyed people keep checking for ICS that they started tracking us. OR it means ICS is coming .......LOL.

Nothing new. Their update method has always only allowed you to check it once per 24 hours. However, there's a way to force it as many times as you want; I forget how (Google it with "XDA" behind your search terms). The question is though, why you would want to update via AT&T. There'd be more than an unlikely chance of getting some mangled BS. I will never understand those who prefer official updates; at most, you should be excited that our guys can get their hands on it, as opposed to installing it.

Before we get AOSP, the RIL needs to be cracked.

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:

Carbon Rom and Ribbon Discussion Updated 5/30

Let me begin with stating my admiration for all devs. I can't do it. I have neither the knowledge nor the patience.
That being said, it seems all the new ROMs have to have three or more ROMs combined. Sometimes bigger is not better.
I would love to see an updated pure AOKP ROM for our device. We haven't had one since DAGr8 left for the Note II. AOKPs Ribbons are kick ass! I like them much better than PIE. You can set the ribbons to stay open and they don't disappear as soon as you lift your finger......and the long swipe to open the app drawer is great.
If you haven't seen them, here are a couple of screenshots of my N7.

Been on Carbon for close to 24 hours without a single glitch. Not the first random reboot. Data reception has been perfect.
The more I use the ribbons, the better I like them! Has just the right amount of customization without being confusing to this old man.

Pockets, I am using AOKP on my N7 since its an official device. It gives me the long swipe to open the app drawer and Steven Spears says there should be a nightlie either tonight or tomorrow that gives the ability to ad toggles to the ribbons.
