Really itching to install your ICS ROM. I've been on ShishirRom since the get go and never felt the need to try anything else.

Will probably flash it tonight.

Keep up the good work man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Go ahead, but know that this "pre-release" version has the following:

"update" prompt that won't go away

Lots of bloat

However, it is really freaking smooth so it's not all bad, just know that if you don't like it for some reason, it's more of a proof of concept rather than the projected direction of ShishirROM. Also, I'm downloading the i777 leak as we speak so I can get some goodies for you guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Progress Report on AT&T Leak:

Runs. Pretty well. Thinking of using stock ATT Kernel this release...

Got the image rooted. Fun Process.

Downloaded and extracted FactoryFS and did some light de-bloating, rooting, etc.

Made test copy of ShishirROM ICS and installing as we speak...

Using new ICS modem from now on in all releases

Cross your fingers... No boot anim... that's okay...

No action on screen

ADB logcat confirms it -- kernels don't play nice with each other.

Using stock kernel now. This should work and stop giving me garbage code. I'll include a handy shortcut to access CWM in the public release, so don't worry. (doesn't change everyday usage of the ROM at all)

Installing updated version...

I see splash screen :) Looks to be booting... (using the i9100 bootanim because it's so much better than the AT&T one)

Not able to get logcats for some reason? EDIT; USB Debugging is off and the kernel isn't insecure anymore. got it.

--

huh. AT&T's launcher doesn't cry when widgets are missing. :) Nice.

Comes stock with stock ICS keyboard. awesome

EVEN BETTER. ALL of the AT&T Apps are uninstallable! I'm keeping SocialHub because people actually use it? O_o

Root works!

Looks like data usage detects your AT&T data plan! Wow!

Thoroughly impressed with AT&T's ROM. It's like they actually listen to us!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Would really love a at&t non-ported version. Keep us posted....we all know you will. Keep up the good work!

Don't think Im gonna get much sleep tonight! Haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Good because that's what ShishirROM's going to be until JKay comes out, finally :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
So your newest update (hopefully tonight...) will be uclc2? Oh man I'm excited... I really want to flash that leak but not with bootloaders... I downloaded the heimdall files but I'm noob with heimdall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Nearly done man :)

I'm in the testing phase. If it boots up with no force closes and responds well to a couple stress tests, I'm releasing it. It'll be UCLC2 with minor tweaks and debloating until we get a more substantial kernel from Entropy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day

I would thank you a million times if I could... I've been waiting since 6:06pm when the download for the leak finished. I've been back and forth on flashing it, but I trust entropy and I respect what he says. Even if you ultimately decide not to stick with UCLC2 for your next update, I just want to try it and play around with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Thank you so much :) Posts like this really mean a lot!

I flashed the UCLC2 despite what Entropy said. It was great and super fast, and the files came out so I grabbed the factoryfs and extracted it. I just created a new version again because the old one had the same SocialHub related bloat issue. As soon as this boots up, I'll upload the file immediately.

I also decided not to stick with UCLC2 for too long because while it's super fast and great right now, as soon as we get a solid kernel from Entropy, I'm switching back to a i9100 base so we can use JKay mod and not as many AT&T based restrictions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
That's what I figured, but it's just the new toy. I'm sure everyone understands...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
D: flashing the new one made my flash counter be wiped...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
D:

Um... surprise? What a pleasant surprise lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Hahaha, yeah I was going to do it before I return, but I guess I don't have to do it anymore!

Getting acore errors though, lemme logcat it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Make sure you do a full wipe, by the way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Awww /sad... Whats the optimizing applications thing at the start for? I don't really want to lose txt msg convos if you know how to back those up, but I guess I could re-install everything and restore just data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Just do a nandroid before you flash then -- it'll make it easier to get back to normal anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Suprasb:
So how's it looking? Looking forward to trying this out! Thanks for your hard work ShiShir!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Snow02:
Sms backup and restore in the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Suprasb:
Also MyBackup Pro is a great backup tool for SMS / MMS / Phone Logs / Contacts / Settings / Home Screen / and more. That's what I use.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Alright, I managed to get a 10mb lolcat file this time, but its only because I didn't wipe, but I think I got the bugs figured out (was giving my some errors on Dungeon Defender files...) Gonna nandroid now and wipe/flash tomorrow.

Except how am I supposed to do a nandroid restore if I only get android system recovery... guess its heimdall time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sam1forever:
Hows it going with the ICS leak process? Anything new you experienced or changed while working with the leak?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
So because this will use the stock AT&T kernel, it won't have CWM, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sam1forever:
Correct. It won't have CWM D: although I'm still looking around for how to add cwm to this stock kernel x_x lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
So if we flash this, how would we flash a new rom if we wanted to change later? Is there any other way to do so besides mobile Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sam1forever:
You can still use the regular odin method where you plug your phone to your computer and download stock firmware to your phone. That's always the other option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Okay guys, I'm now seriously debating whether or not to press on with the AT&T Leak. It has now come to my attention that the REASON entropy's kernel won't work is because the leak is based off of ancient i9100 source code -- before the i9100 code dropped. So it's useless and will most definitely get changed later.

I'll put up a poll so everyone vote on that. I'll provide an image to flash via stock recovery or a kernel to flash with mobileODIN to get everyone back on a stable ICS ROM if the i777 project gets led astray.

Honestly the only thing good we got from this was a solid modem and the i777 TouchWiz which some people like (add-on time ;) )

I have to go to bed before 12 now so no more late night ROM working -- I'm on the ragged edge as far as coming in late to school/work is concerned because of getting this damn thing working. So in short, vote on the poll and if people decide to just go with i9100 ROM ports instead of i777 leak adaptions (no performance benefit at all, mind you), I'll provide a way to flash from the franken-build two people are running right now (see why I didn't release last night??) to the new code base.

I'll throw up the old ROM with some fixes (getting rid of the update prompt, mostly) and that'll probably be stable enough for 99% of ShishirROM users until we get a more solid i9100 ROM drop (we have one actually. KP3 came out not too long ago).

EDIT: For clarity:

Things ATT ROM offers:

AT&T Apps

No video call icon in dialer

Alphabetical sorting in launcher

Things i9100 ROM offers:

Faster Data

Less Bloatware

JKay Mod in the future

Smoother experience with more kernel compatibility

Ability to use any mod made for the firmware in the i9100 forums

Easier to update from/to (usually don't have to do factory resets)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
There is a way. I had to use it multiple times and I'll show you guys what to do, although mobileOdin will probably be easiest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Whatever you do, do not go into stock recovery and go to install from SD, and press power button on /.. because that WIPES EVERYTHING except your external SD card. Why, I do not know, but I figured out the hard way and lost EVERYTHING.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Really. Thanks for freaking nothing AT&T -_- All we got was a buggy launcher and a so-so modem out of this... which we already had... and a kernel that wipes your SD card if you try to use it.

Thank god I didn't post the release up publically...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Haha, sorry for pm'ing you up the ass last night...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:

Do you think you could make an odexed version of the ics leak with fenny's kernel with working CWM? if not how hard is it to odex a rom? really interested in trying myself or something. Sick of waiting for uploads that dont even work when downloaded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
You mean this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568080

It's pretty much the same thing as ShishirROM minus the wallpapers. So far, it seems as if more people would want the i9100 ROM... which is good since it's better :P So no point in trying to fix up the i777 ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
That would be nice if it was working hah....well I am going to try out SHOstock2. is there a way to odex that rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Well there is a way but it's neither worth it nor will it most likely work. But that's fine, as long as you understand why I'm not using the AT&T leak anymore -- it brings nothing new to the table besides bloatware and a couple of bugs (restart the ROM and touchwiz's background's screwed up, for one).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Now I need to TiBu to my external and move the nandroids there too...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
hey PenguinLogik, can you go ahead and publish the file I'm uploading right now? It's the new version of ShishirROM based on XWLP3 -- which is literally a day old firmware. I need to get to bed early today so I won't have time to publish it once it uploads :P

If people like this version of the ROM then I'll stick with XWLP3, but if there's enough of a demand, I'll try and get the ****ty ATT version working lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Publish? Also wipe or no wipe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Just put the link in the thread somewhere and direct users to download from there.

If you're coming from the AT&T version... wipe, obviously, but other than that Wipe doesn't seem to be necessary.

EDIT: You don't need to wipe if coming from the AT&T version. But you should do it for extra speed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Ah okay will do.

Based off of XWLP3, and not the AT&T leak.

Hmm. Im sorry if this was answered early in the thread, if it was would someone just redirect me?

But the question is about the Samsung update. Constant icon in notification bar that won't go away. And everytime I accept it says Samsung update failed. How does one fix this? Thanks in advance :)!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rduncan1974:
I Dont know if someone is messing with me or not but my Z and Y button on the stock keyboard have been swapped around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Check language settings - sounds like you have the qwertz (french I think?) keyboard enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] docskurlock:
I have that problem too. It said something about swiping to change language, but those are the only two keys switched around. Rather strange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Other countries have their keyboard set to qwertz. This is why

Correct. Just change it to english in the language settings of the keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rduncan1974:
Tried that but still same layout but I just downloaded Swype and I prefer that better, like touch pal too but it won't download on any ics roms i have tried but at least Swype does.

Thanks for the help though.

Shishir ICS ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
Does this one have the notification fix? Also would like to say thank you to everyone who has been working on this ROM I am on the first release and I love this ROM. Looking forward to the Jkay mod (have never used it but it sounds interesting) Keep up the good work guy's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Yes, this does let you update the samsung account app, and does not have a software update notification. Also Jkay is on the original classic ShishirROM, and lets you customize your UI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Gonna give the ICS a shot, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Just note that 5ghz wifi does not work, and you cannot add alarms for now.

It also has alot of bloat, but most of them are safe to remove with TiBu if you use common sense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
Awesome I am downloading now. I am diggin the ICS way too much to go back to classic for Jkay I think I'll do a lot of searching and reading and wait for it to be added to this one. Thanks for the quick reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Quick note: CHROME BETA ON ICS IS AMAZING. IT IS A MUST HAVE APP/BROWSER FOR YOUR PHONE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
Not sure why but when I try to flash from CWM 5.5.0.4 I choose install zip from sdcard then choose zipfrom sdcard I get "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"

any ideas I am on ShishirROM ICS pre-alpha 3-25-12 xwlp2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Make sure you select internal SD card (non-physical/removeable)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] docskurlock:
I attempted to change the language on the keyboard, but it was set to English. I downloaded Swype and I'm loving that. This ROM is awesome. Many thanks to you and yours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
For some reason when I plug my phone in to my laptop I can see all my pics and music on both phone and sdcard however when I tried to add the new ROM to them it the comp would say the device has stopped working or is unplugged. I added the zip to external SD tried to flash got the error posted above. I used root explorer to move it to internal SD and it is working thanks for the advice. Still not sure what the communication error is between the phone and laptop. No update notifications hot damn!

Rom installed fine and the phone is communicating with the laptop again ???? Oh well all is good now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Possibly because the MTP (the file transfer it uses) was broken on the previous version, however in this version, it should be fixed. Also I would recommend using Kies air so you don't have to connect a cable to transfer!

List of things you can remove with Titanium Backup

Those are the programs I have found safe to remove after installing. Note that you will get some force closes while your phone is uninstalling these, but just be patient and don't spam the ok button, just hit it once and wait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
You can add alarms... lol. I set one last night and woke up this morning at 6:45AM exactly :P

5GHz WiFi fix coming today. Requires simple mods.

I'll also bake in the ICS stock keyboard since I like that more than the Samsung one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Yeah, it's pretty nice, only a couple glitches here and there but prolly best browser I've used. Should be sweet as it matures a bit!. Going to flash this rom now for the first time; been running CM9 for a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
New Update Today!

5GHz WiFi Fix

Removed Samsung Keyboard -- it was buggy

Removed Wallpaper Gallery -- it was way too big in file size

Reverted back to just an Srom folder full of wallpapers

Removed TouchWiz Gallery -- replaced with Stock ICS Gallery

Stock ICS Keyboard

Light debloating

build.prop tweaks -- better network performance and battery life

It's uploading as you read this. Check back in a while ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ThatJawn:
Anyone have a resolution for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
It was fixed two updates ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
This is my 4th ics rom so far, including cm9, and may be the smoothest one yet (true to the title). The scrolling seems to be less choppy on this one. Well done, I will flash today's update when it's available!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avio07:
Is there anyway to take the TouchWiz theme out of this rom and put original ICS theme on all of the rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
That would be nice, I hate the standard touchwiz theme! A % battery, perhaps dotted blue lines outlining the number would be sweet also!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Update is up. Check ICS Post on Front Page

Also, as far as theming, I am not considering ANYTHING until JKay comes out. That'll make it tremendously easier.

ALSO, Gingerbread version updated with new kernel and minor network speed tweaks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
JKAY should be out soon enough. Will give the new update a flash; just flashed the prior one an hour ago, lol.

*update - great choice adding the aosp gallery, so much better!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
Same here however improvements are improvements I will be flashing this one soon :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Report - rom is nice and smooth, seems pretty solid. Issues: some home button lag and you can't change the lock screen wallpaper now (likely related to change in gallery). Thanks for the rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
I think there was mention of a home button lag fix in the front of the thread for ICS. Cant really remember what page but I'm sure its there.

sorry that was for classic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogerntami:
OK, so I have been using your ROM since the first GB one was released in Feb. I love it! And the inclusion of JKay is awesome. I started testing your first ICS release, and it is pretty sweet too. Looking forward to JKay ICS (any idea when it will be ready?).

My main question is can I just flash the ICS updates over the first ICS? Or do I need to make backups/nadroid/wipe? I pretty much know the answer, I just want confirmation so I can be at ease. =0)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
From what I've found, you don't have to wipe, but the alarms are bugged if you don't because of some differences in the way it stores app data. So don't wipe for now and wipe when it's out of the pre-release is what I would do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Forscythe87:
After flashing the last version of ICS I can no longer find my external sd in the directory. I am also unable to flash the newest release which dropped today via CWM because it can not find external sd card. Any ideas on a fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
The external sd card is now listed as just an sd card while the internal is also listed as internal. One of the versions had a broken mounting for external sd so just adb push it too your internal (/mnt/sdcard)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshh20:
Phone randomly not turning on

Hi, I like your ROM, its really really smooth and generally works well, but I'm having a problem where when I press the sleep button, my phone will not turn on at all, no matter what I do. This forces me to have to reboot my phone, and last night while I was at a restaurant this happened at least 4 times within 25 minutes. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as this is really frustrating me quite a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Do you happen to be underclocking your CPU? (using setCPU or something) If so, uninstall that app because underclocking is not yet supported by the kernel. If it is from the first ICS, I would recommend doing a full wipe, as some things are broken if you don't wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
New update either today or tomorrow --

More debloating

STOCK ICS lockscreen

No home-button lag

ShishirROM bootanimation is back

Reverted some build.prop tweaks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshh20:
Ok, I did a full wipe and that seems to have fixed it, but thanks for telling me not to underclock yet because I was thinking about doing that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n7slc:
Decided to give this ROM a try after ShoStock was giving me too many weird issues. So far, seems nice and smooth but I am having one issue. The phone is getting really hot. I've given it a couple of reboots and now it's resting peacefully on the charger at the moment.

I did a complete wipe and reset prior to flashing this ROM. Anyone else have any heating issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ImaITGuy:
To answer your question - I am not having this issue at all - That being said I flashed the 1st ICS release from ShiShirRom .7 - and have subsequently flashed as an upgrade with each ICS release - Really have not had any issues at all, with the exception of inadvertanly uninstalling an app via Titanium Backup that I needed.

This ROM has been the best for me by far and following the list of apps that Penguinlogik posted up that are safe for removal my battery life has improved by about 4 hours, its still not yet upto the GB Rom that ShiShir has put out but its def getting there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
No, but it's probably an app running in the background. Press and hold the home button to access the task manager and see what is using your CPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n7slc:
Thanks guys. As it turns out, it's only getting hot when it's accessing the cell network. I know that it's normal for them to get warm under normal use but this one is abnormally hot after only a couple of minutes.

Will the KK6 modem work with this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Yes, any i777 modem should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
I'm thinking of reverting to KH7 actually... I get better reception with this modem, but battery wise I'm not sure. For some WEIRD and ABSURD reason, I feel the older modems were better...
