Not to be rude but ur not the first or the only person to do this

if u used this give credit just sayin :D​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
What kernel are you guys using? I just checked the installer files and everything, there's no reason why it shouldn't be installing... I'm just as confused as you :confused:

I'll try re-uploading, but try flashing a different kernel then installing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gustavorod:
Not installed

Using Siyah and it did not install....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
I was on Cherry Picker first try, NEAK the second. Both installs failed to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Found the problem. Somehow one of the installer binaries got corrupted during the upload. I'm uploading a clean copy right now.

Edit: ROM has been uploaded. Check first post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Not wake-up commands bro. Haha, I meant I fixed the Wolfram|Alpha integration. If you asked S-Voice a question that required Wolfram|Alpha to answer (ex. a derivative), it would crash and in logcat tell you it failed to open a particular resource. I fixed THAT ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Glad to see you updated again. :)

Not in my rom, so he didn't jack it from me. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mjgspr95:
Link not working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
It ended up in my trash for some reason. It's up again, but the working installer is uploaded again. Download the entire ROM from the original post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] killahhops32:
I cant install this at all Aroma starts then go through the prompts but the installer says that its done but when I reboot it goes back to the recovery screen.

I have redownloaded this twice and for the life of me I cant get it to install...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
I took the download down. I'm downloading the ROM off of XDA right now, and doing stress tests. Once I pinpoint the issue and fix it, I'll upload it.

This doesn't even make sense since I sent a same thing to beta testers... I haven't modified anything that should be an issue.

EDIT: I'm unable to replicate the issue? To Everyone: Download is going back up. Try flashing the file you already downloaded but wiping data and doing a factory reset before you get into the installer. I'm not sure what the issue is.

Woohoo! Happy weekend. May this be the start of official retirement for the Shishir GB ROM on my phone.

Shishir - Could you post the MD5 for the file you've tested with? Might help pinpoint if someone's download's breaking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
My third download (the current link) worked and is installing now.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
The link in OP still points to 052812 version. I renamed 052812 to 060212 and that started a new download of 273 MB vs 052812 version of 280 MB. So I believe that Shishir forgot to update the hyperlink in OP.

Update: Nevermind, it was the problem with Chrome browser. I am on the Chrome dev channel. There's a bug in it. Doing even Ctrl+F5 doesn't fetch the latest page. The link still points to 0528 version on Chrome, but Firefox has the correct link.

LOL, it wasn't chrome. By the time I opened this thread in Firefox, you had changed the link :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
Something is up. Installed with Syiah and not NEAK as the OP stated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Wow. Nice catch man :cool:

052812 -> 060212

Changed Kernels

Show/Hide Time and AMPM feature

NFC

You're not missing THAT much if you flashed the old internal test build. It's just as fast and everything, and if you're never going to use NFC then might as well stay on that until the new version rolls along. But if it bothers you that much, I updated the link in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Alright. I'll post the md5 in the OP when I have time. The problem was a corrupted file somewhere along the upload. Reuploaded and fixed.

And yes. Shishir GB was the best thing I ever worked on, but hopefully this version comes close, yes? :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
I will grab the new one. I want to hide the clock. I have Fancy Widget and do not need the small clock in the notification bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
That's alright too!!

For everyone else, I recommend rebooting the phone after the initial setup before starting to use it. Keeps the phone running smooth and tidy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
This is very smooth. Nice job!!

Is there an easy way to hide the battery, or change it? I cannot get the Kitchen to work with an ICS ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
That sounds really interesting. I'll try and get it working in a framework tweak next release :)

But you can flash JKay's new mod (LPD odexed version) over this ROM. It'll work perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
Many thanks.

EDIT: If you use JKays mod, you will lose the ability to remove the clock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] killahhops32:
I redownloaded the new one and it worked perfectly! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Love it thanks! Anyway to add in the calendar widget?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sengfeng:
I noticed when I had the "beta" release, there was a CWM app that was useful for booting into recovery. After I DL'd today's release and flashed it (no wipe), the CWM is gone...

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Whatever you're doing with your releases, you're doing it right as far as battery life goes. Every other one seems to start pulling down percentage ticks from the battery just doing little more than going in, check email, and then they drain 4-5% an hour just sitting.

I just let my phone charge, unplugged it, and went away from it for an hour. Still 100%!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Shishir,

Great job on the rom - especially the sgs3 addons. However I do not believe it is smoother than other Roms - I am seeing a lot of jerky animations and overall delays through certain actions which are not present in other roms.I did a complete wipe before installing your rom.

Also, any specific reason you excluded the stock music app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Not currently. I removed it because it FC'ed with the new Launcher. Investigating.

1) Several Apps on the marketplace allow you to reboot from CWM. That app was present because Siyah bundles it in.

2) Battery-life was a particular concern with this release, glad you're seeing an improvement!

For some phones, you need to let the ROM sit for a while and build up a rolling cache of your apps, data, etc.. I've been running my build for over a week and it's way smoother than it was day one.

I excluded the music player... because I don't like it that much to be honest. Eventually, I'll have the "Add media" button during install to add the music app back in. Personally, I prefer Google's Play Music app. It even supports the phone's built-in EQ that gives me better results than Samsung's EQ Settings.

TL;DR: I didn't really think it was necessary. I can add it in as an option during install, however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
I agree with u here. I will definitely leave it a shot for a whole week. Also I guess some of the TW animations are sluggish e.g. there is always a delay when u press the home key.

I am really hoping this ROM works out for me. I am not too much into themes so do not mind the fewer customization options compared to other deodexed roms.if the battery life is good this one is a keeper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcomana:
Hi Bro. I recently installed your ROM in my AT&T G2 and look like a good rom. Only one detail refer the configuration of my Email Account. Only Exchange accounts can be configure. Not individual ones, like Gmail, Hotmail or othres. I don't know if I made a mistake or you consider a separate way to handling them. Regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sengfeng:
Everything's showing up OK for me - Tried a factory wipe from CWM and let it start up fresh?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Same thing here with trying to hookup comcast email it's a no go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Please do! I was only just starting to get used to the stock Music Player xD. I'll be dling your newest ROM after my vacations, really looking forward to trying out all your hard work. Thanks again for your awesomeness!

P.S. Do static wallpapers scroll on GS3's TWUX, or is that still left out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] texaswickedtoys:
I'm having the same Email issue but other than that I'm really liking the rom so far keep up the good work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Ew Gross. It requires SocialHub. I'll look at getting the AOSP Email client working, because there's no way in hell I'm putting SocialHub back on my ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] armyms25:

SHISHIR I wipef twice every time before install a nw Rom. However I feel the problem described refer config emails account. I solve installed a email app, but another issue. The Flipboard is not working. You included as a native app and not permit to make an external installation. In my case not working by any way. Any suggestion??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
No problem updating flipboard. You need to enable "allow external sources" in settings -> security
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Shishir, reporting a minor bug. When I long press on home screen and choose change wallpaper for lock screen I only see an option to choose from default wallpapers and no option for gallery.

However if I go through settings>display->lock screen wallpapers I can see he option to choose from gallery

Minor bug.....can be last on your priority of fixes

ShiShir I love the new update. Do you think it's possible to port the SGS 3 status bar look? Er.. Were you planning on any further theming??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] morpheoussc400:
Hey has anyone noticed that the volume is a little louder with this room? I'm not complaining, I like it... Just wanna make sure I'm not crazy. Also, how do I change the name of my phone back to SGH I777? It says gt I9100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Thanks Shishir! I am liking your ROM so far with JKay's XWLPD mod.

Update:

Suggestion: Can the screenshots be saved in a lower quality? Each screenshot is taking up about 300KB right now. I have seen similar visual clarity even when they are saved at a lower quality ( around 80KB/screenshot ).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcomana:
Hey Shishir. Re music player, in the forum you can find the Beast Audio you can included as an option. Other extenal Music app could be recomend is n7player which include some awesome issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] texaswickedtoys:
I second that really liking this rom with jkays mod
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] butikofer08:
God I feel dumb asking this but how do I reboot into recovery using this ROM (still with NEAK Kernel). When I do the power and volume button approach I get odin screen with a green android saying "Downloading...do not turn off target"

I'm assuming this is the NEAK Kernal Recovery but I let it sit and it does nothing at all...

I'm prepared for the beating I'm about to take...

ROM Manager freezes after 3-4 seconds, so that's a no go, I did get it to flash the latest recovery however the volume button/power button approach is still a no go
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wamster:
To reboot into recovery on the SGH-I777: With the phone powered off, hold down the vol up + vol down + power buttons continuously until the initial boot screen appears a second time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] butikofer08:
I appreciate the response but...

As stated in my post directly above yours...."The volume button/power button combination doesn't work for me"...

However your post did lead me to discover that for some reason when my phone is plugged into a USB the process used to get into recovery takes you to the odin screen with the green android I referenced in my above post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wamster:
Ah, I think I've had a similar problem to yours. I was on a certain rom that didn't let me get into recovery mode either. Tried to get to it, but no go. I did have access to download mode though, so I actually reverted all the way back to stock, rooted again, installed cwm and then flashed a different rom. Worth a shot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
That's called download mode. You need to read a lot more because if you don't know that, you don't really know how to safely mod your I777 (it's fairly different from other Android phones). ROM manager is also a no-no. I suggest you read the links in Red5's sticky for more info so you don't mess something up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshh20:
Yes, I have noticed the same thing, its not just you. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Fixed that this morning and also included a ton more wallpapers.

Other Issues I will address this week:

Inability to get into recovery mode for some users

No default music player

Futher theming

Lag

Flipboard being installed as a system app

Server troubles

Any more recommendations?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Change the build.prop. I didn't want to change it because it interferes with installing other ROMs and certain functions (such as Samsung Dive), but I'll look into changing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] awca22:
Something is not working for me, Gmail Google maps doesnt appear on my rom but it appears on the screenshots, at first the settings app was fc but now it doesnt, and now it feels laggy and freezes, its not a bad download I have downloaded a few times and stills doesnt work as it should , gmail and maps doesnt work in any of my tries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
It's a bootloader problem then. Try either:

Use adb to reboot into recovery: "adb reboot recovery"

Flash default AT&T boot-loader

Install an app from the marketplace that allows you to reboot into recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Google apps are not included by default. Download from the marketplace. As far as your sketchy performance, it's worth letting the ROM run for a while (maybe a couple of days) and if that doesn't fix your problems, wipe the ROM and start fresh.

99% of the problems people have been having regarding crappy performance has to do with the fact they either didn't wipe or they're coming from a 4.0.4 ROM (CM9 and AOKP included) in which case it's worth manually wiping the /system, /cache, /data, and basically everything except the /efs and /sdcard partitions (and /emmc) before installing a 4.0.3 ROM. ALSO, if you have ever flashed an AT&T leak, the AT&T bootloader can potentially screw up a fresh install of a ROM by installing useless data and apps. I had to manually go back to another bootloader just so it wouldn't install AT&T Navigator whenever I did a factory reset.

Maybe an app you installed could also contribute to your speed dilemmas. You can also try a different kernel and see if that helps. There are SOOOO many ways you might be able to fix your problem -- the actual ROM being none of them. But I am looking into the issue in the meantime -- I myself have been running into lag and instability in certain circumstances. This is just version 1.0 afterall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] awca22:
well ok, thanks I guess I will wait for it so settle a bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grifforama:
Wow. I have to say this is a very very nice ROM. Have been on Shostock for some time now, but this feels like it has the smoothness of GB with the ICS look and feel.

Very impressed.

Great job.

One thing I miss is a circle battery mod. Has anyone manage to get one yet ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Can't seem to find where to turn off wallpaper scrolling, is there a setting for this on this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Anyway you could increase the size of the email icon it is smaller height wise than the others?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] anikiup:
Try quick reboot from the market.

mystics glory v1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Use JKay Mod- I'm sure atleast one of his themes have the mod enabled

It might be an option next release if I can get it working in time.

Sure I'll rip it from the i9300 when I get time

I have no idea how. I mean it's 300kb vs ~80kb... is it really that bad? lol

I hate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddie404:
great work shishir! running smooth and nicely here.

I had one problem with international locales, though. I found that the default ICS fonts were missing (probably "debloated"). It would be nice if they could be placed back in the package.

on the same note, some more details on the changes made to the stock rom would be nice. it would also be nice if you could include some of the original apps (or fonts, perhaps) as separate downloads.

EDIT: I also miss the SG2 weather widget. The new one is not resizable, does not contain a forecast, and clicking on it once brings a city list rather than taking you directly to the extended forecast page. How can I get the old version back?

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Oh well, I guess then that it's just me. I like to monitor and study what stuff affects the battery life and so I take screenshots frequently. Screenshots being 300KB will not matter if they are taken once in a while. But for me it could take up a couple let of MB's soon and my frequency of screenshots cleanup will increase to a factor of 30/8.

That said, it's understandable if this mod can't be implementated.

Update:

I am going to learn how. SHOstock2 does the size optimization.

Update2:

Just realized that the screenshot feature might be integrated in the SystemUI. And as I am using JKay's mod, edits done by you won't matter after all. I need to start some reverse engineering :)

Sent from myphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
JKay's files are extremely hard to decompile -- you need JKay's sources to do it successfully. I'll try and integrate it into the stock ROM (i'll ask the guy behind shostock) but why not ask JKay to put it into his mod?

Also... wtf did you get that quote?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Thanks. That quote has to be a result of the Tapatalk app, not sure.

Realization that I'll have to delve into JKay came after I made that post. I'll of course ask him as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vette95:
Google Play Store

For some reason I can't use my Play Store. It gets to te accept dialog and ten comes back to the launcher. Fixed permissions, wiped cache and dalvik, nothing works. Anyone else having this issue? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Shishir,

I have been using this ROM for a couple of days now and I can say it has become a whole lot smoother than what it was on day one. Pretty happy with this ROM so far and will continue to stick with it for now.

A few issues I am seeing:

- Home button lag: There is a significant lag when you press the home button and when the home screen shows up. Not sure if this is a Samsung Touchwiz animation lag.

- Random slow downs: Happens all of a sudden - everything crawls to a super slow mode. I might think this might be an issue with the NEAK kernel. So I am going to try Siyah. I guess I need the non-micswap version?

- Battery life: I was expecting the battery life to be better but so far I am seeing it to be the same or even less than the AOSP/AOKP roms or other sammy roms. I will still give it a few more charge cycles and check if it improves

- Reboot/Startup check: Everytime I reboot the phone I see the "Android upgrading" message saying "Starting applications". On other ROMs this usually shows up only if you wipe the cache/Dalvikcache but on this ROM it shows up everytime. It does not go through the whole applications count but still shows the message. Not a big deal but increases the startup time.

Now for some things I am loving with this ROM:

- Flipboard is awesome (Not sure if it is available on Market yet)

- Like the GS3 launcher

- auto brightness seems to be working perfectly and promptly. This is not the case with the AOSP/SOKP roms. There is a huuuuuge delay in auto brightness in those ROMs.

- Overall smooth experience

- S -voice is awesome and 100% working

Again, keep up the good work. I understand this is still v1 - so looking forward to regular updates and lots of improvements to make it even better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
I think we used siyah in the beta version and I had issues with the lock screen being unresponsive...could have been the version though. Try it and report back with the version that you flashed and I'm sure that he will switch as long as it has its benefits...meaning battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Use the micswap or the person can't hear you on the other end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshh20:
I COMPLETELY agree with everything that you said and I have been having the same exact issues but thought that it would be better not to complain as I didn't really want to bother ShiShir, but since you mentioned it too I thought that I would say something. The only thing is that the message that you see when your phone first starts up is actually a feature of this ROM and it is supposed to do that, I think that it is optimizing the applications or something like that. Now, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but when I first tried installing the ROM, I kept getting errors during the installation, I did a full wipe, and tried reinstalling 4 times, but during the install, at random times, it would fail and say that there was an error. My phone booted up fine anyway so I just thought nothing of it, but now that I think about it, maybe there is something more to this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Yep..installed the non-micswap and the speaker and mics were reversed.

Siyah working fine for now. Havent used it long enough to comment on battery life or slow downs. Will provide a quick review after using this setup for a couple of days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshh20:
I think that I am going to try flashing Siyah too and just see how it goes
