Was just wondering if anyone knows any other good sites and if you've found/are running anything that you have got from another site.
Thanks.
Can get something from the i9100 forum and hellraise it. I'm running one from there that I just installed.
Thanks, but I was looking for roms that aren't from XDA.
RootzWiki, though its not very active
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Rootzwiki is somewhat active on older phones but on newer ones its not. You can also try the theunlockr.com but i believe most of the roms come from xda.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Google is your friend.
Although, I think I would refrain from trying any, unless there were a large base of people who are not having issues.
Pay particular attention to the model numbers being used etc.
Of course, if bricking your phone is of no monetary concern, then by all means, go for it!
My 2 cents....
Thanks, but unfortunately google hasn't really turned up much.
Just curiosity, why don't you like ROMs from XDA?

i doubt its about likes or dislikes. he probably just wants to see what else is hiding out there.
I kind of doubt that there are really any other sites out there beside the ones already listed.Because YouTube videos and Google searches all point back here to XDA.

This is the exact reason why I wanted to find alternatives. I'm a bit of a flashaholic.
I understand how you feel.you can only hellraise n flash so many roms haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Haven't even tried to hellraise any... dunno if I wanna get into that can of worms yet.
It's a cool thing to try out.it gives you a nice big selection of roms to flash from.I say give it a try you may in up liking it.

So what does one have to do to hell raise just flash rom then flash hell raise package?

Yep exactly. Of course read the OP of Hellraiser thread and make sure your zip doesn't have bootloaders and whatnot. But yeah dude. Flash ROM, flash Hellraiser package, reboot. I highly recommend Illusion-xT for i9100. It is gorgeous with great battery life!

I'm gonna check that and villianrom. Thanks alot
It doesn't make proper backups, and it doesn't load boot.Img. on old backups, which makes it pretty much worthless. If you have had any luck feel free to chime in, but I strongly don't recommended using it.
Edit: it works for some people
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
Works fine for me, but why not go over to Rootzwiki and tell him?
Some other people are having the same problems as I am, so I figured I would put a warning, there are perfectly working recoveries out there already, so Im not too concerned about troubleshooting it.
Rootzwiki doesn't have an optimus v forum, why would I post it there?

Nonono, the Recovery forum. The the Razor recovery.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
I have had zero issues with it making and restoring backups. Now if your trying to restore a cwm style backup it will not restore the ext partition. But I remember there being incompatibilities with xionna and cwm also so it might just be a simple fix.
I agree with Curiousnoob why not post at rootzwiki? The thread I linked to is the support thread for the recovery.
Also your title is misleading, you assume because three people are having issues everybody is/will. There is also the fact the recovery is not called razor..bleh.
When I posted this, nobody had any success stories with the recovery, I was trying to save some headache, I will edit it

I seen your question in that thread. I think it got overlooked. The only thing I dont like about RW is the people there are all about the new devices. There was the guy with a S that got all kinds of help. I think being persistent is the best bet.

Yeah, those jerks. >:0
Joking. xP
All the newer devices are really getting better, but still kinda sucky. :/
I have a HD2, and the roms aren't good. It's just the phone that's gpod. Bad battery life, Reception drops alot, buttons stop working soon, screen goes unresponsive, again, soon. ICS really isn't a big whoop. the rom barely has Camera working. :/
I recently rooted for the first time and I'm looking to find a ROM that isn't too much of an off-chute from the stock ROM but is also decent at conversing my battery life. I was thinking GB since ICS has that severe bug on the galaxy s2 1777
Oh boy you need a lot more searching and a lot more reading before you get any help.

Indeed, I'd start with looking through each of the ROMs out for ICS currently. as well as checking out Kernel tests

Please do yourself a favor and do some research before you even think about doing what you are thinking about doing.
Once you start reading and ask relevant questions, people will answer you better. Even if you haven't tried it yet, and you ask questions that occur only after having read about it, people will start pointing you in the right direction.

That's kind of what I meant...It's difficult to get sentiment across on a forum post!
But yeah, click around, learn a thing and ask about that thing. If you show you are somewhat informed, you'll be helped. That's how I did it and I was helped tremendously.
Shostock is the very thing you're looking for. Stock with some stuff. Try it then try others if you want.
Then one day you too can be a jerk to people who ask easily answered questions.

Hey, I see you're from chicago. I'm in the NW Indiana area. What modem you using? I'm on KH7 and I have my wife on KK6 and they both run almost identical.

KH7 and KK6 are basically the same and run fine everywhere except the Loop and O'Hare, where the data doesn't work at all.
I recently tried out LC5 by accident and it turns out that works great in O'Hare and the Loop, but is very spotty everywhere else. I should probably go through the others but that would require a free weekday in the Loop.
I have task' aokp and run flawless... Never have a single issue..
Plus he thread is fun and have a lot of support to the questions that aren't on the OP (original post)

What ICS bug do you refer to?
If it's stock-like GB you're looking for, I've heard great things about Unnamed and UnOriginal.
OP, these threads are highly discouraged in this forum. I encourage those who think the OP does not deserve such flaming, please read more, you'll see that if you did, vs. threads or "which is best" threads are not allowed.
Btw, the person who posted the kernel tests thread, #1, that thread is I9100 and our I777s are different, #2, each person's I777 is different and reacts to different kernels differently, so that thread is practically useless to us.

Ok, thanks. I was going to try a couple odd ones soon, but haven't gotten around to it.
Just stick with your stock rom and run some 3rd party programs like Juice defender and SetCPU
GB - UnNamed
ICS - AOKP or CM9

Sorry OP, but your best bet is to do all the research you can before doing anything with any custom roms.
I just bought one of these used off craigslist and it had SHOstock2 on it ... I'm used to Cyanogen and would like to switch over to that ... Can I install it directly over SHOstock2 or do I have to do anything special first?
Please advise ... I'd really like to get my new (used) phone up and running ....

Thanks for responding! Can you tell me which rom you installed first?
I had no problems going from SHOStock to Taks's latest AOKP Jellybean.
I have a nandroid of CM10 and my current Ss2 v5 and have no problems switching. Full wipe before installing CM10 and you should be good. Recommend running the 4.1.4 Siyah on CM10, makes for easier bu and restore in CWM.

You can go with SHOStock2 custom ROM blindly. I have used many custom kernals and finally satisfied with SHOStock2 ROM for the daily drivers. All you need to root your phone first, then flash this ROM, thats all. No need to root your phone again. Hope you gotcha now
Some people go to the thread of the rom they want to flash and read the instructions there so they understand what they should do before flashing that rom, and also what is unique to that rom, so as to get a feel for whether they want to flash it or not. But I suppose instead of reading and searching u could just start a new thread and have us do yer leg work for you.

The last time I posted a question like that in the Cyanogen forums for my old Galaxy S ... I never got a response back. At xda the posters here are mostly very helpful and friendly.
Mostly.
@everyone else:
Thanks for all the responses! I really appreciate it. Sounds like I can just flash directly, which I will do.

Just wanted to say for anyone else who might be wondering that going from SHOstock to Cyanogen was a piece of cake. Quick, no problems at all.
Sad thing is ... SHOstock actually felt a lot more responsive. Still have to strip some bloat from Cyanogen but I might just restore back to SHOstock ...

Hey guys, I have a question that will hopefully be answered. I searched beforehand and i couldn't find anything so i decided to make a new thread. If this information has been covered before please direct me toward the thread and close/delete this one, thanks!
So I have lost hope in getting official releases for jellybean on our device, and so i have flashed a few jelly Bean ROMs. The one thing that has bugged me is the lack of prophecy butter because the os still feels choppy at times. I know that we likely won't get official project butter on any ROMs until (at least) the i9100 gets official butter, however, will cyanogen mod, being aosp, include project butter?
On a similar note, how stable are the nightly builds currently? I looked for a list of broken/working features and all i found is everything is broken until it works, which isn't very helpful.
Thanks everyone. Cheers

Read. Search. Both things you didn't do before making this thread. Read the CM10 thread for your information about project butter and aosp roms as well as to see how stable it is for people. And we most likely will not get official jellybean. Just because the I9100 got it doesn't mean the i777 will.

I don't mean to like get defensive and stuff but I actually did quite a bit of reading and researching, all to no avail, which led to me to just ask. Like I said, hardly anyone speaks of CM10 for the i777, I mean, aren't we supposed to have a thread under the development section for it? That'd probably be a great place to look for information but it doesn't exist. Everyone is too excited about the i9100 and t mobile s2 (t898?) to say much about the i777. Thank you very much for your help though, I will be sure to continue digging through the CM website
