I have been on this rom since the first release and, while I have had some I issues with the install process flashing the kernel in, this rom kernel combo has been rock solid for me. More so than even SHOstock3 was. I have not had any SODS or freezes. BUT, that being said, I always flash the kernel back over the rom after I install it. Then profit.

Same way clean install every time and kernel istall after....and only trouble I have is if I try to dirty flash ..so far rock solid rom with zero issues. ... i have come across screen won't wake. ...but this is be cause of me not going by OP.... only times I see problems are if I do dirty or recovery data from prior rom to new flash. ...

Just use mr-cook safe wipe script before new flash and will do perfect each time and zero human mistake

Will include cwm logcat that do somethin that not suppose to do if you hit return button instead scroll down "go back"

I always do each step twice for wipe.......

#1 wipe chache

#2 wipe dalvic

#3 flash 1.6 zip

Don't use return button ....scroll down in recovery GO BACK

go to advance

#4 restart recovery not (boot system)

#5 do step #1 then #2

#6 now boot system

Don't touch after it gets updated for another 10-15 minutes. ....

All hard work pays off

The answer to both is no.

I would just like to cast a vote to add NFC back in. I just got a used i777 and went straight to this ROM, and it seems like the best ROM available for this phone. It seems to have new software my Skyrocket with stock JB didn't even have.

I found an nfc.apk file in the extra apps for debloated ROMs thread in this post but installing it didn't seem to do anything like add a menu entry or a new app. I just got a "NFC service" stopped unexpectedly pop-up message. Rebooting didn't seem to change anything. I got an app called NFC Tester from Play and it said my device wasn't NFC enabled.

I'm not really cool with the idea of going back to Bloatware City, and in the scheme of things it's a nitpick. I won't harp on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
NFC wasn't removed from the ROM. Yes this device has the hardware for NFC, but it barely works. It would need to be added into the ROM you can't just install the app. I may mess with it some day, but I don't want to just add it and it not work (I'm regretting the multi-window).

Correct me if I'm wrong but Jeboos kernel is for an i9100 based ROM which needs mic swap right? Where as this base doesn't need it. May account for the echo.

I can't really test that theory since moving to the s4 my sims a bit small for the s2.

Nice to see a ROM based of the att release, hope to see great things!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I don't think it's a kernel issue as I've had no problems on jeboos, or Ajs kernels. I may be wrong though, you never know. I've been running this for 3 days with a case on without issue. I think Samsung may have changed something in the noise suppression. I've seen complaints of echo on the stock kernel of this update with people that are using cases.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dpaik:
jeboo and AJK kernels are both international based kernels which would mean that the mics are swapped. Just use the stock ATT kernel and it should be ok. Not going to try this rom or kernel until a more definitive version comes out though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
You need a non-micswapped kernel for this ROM, or any AT&T ROM for the SGH-i777.

AJK and jeboo kernels are both mic swapped.

You can disable noise reduction and it may help with the echo to some extent, but it cannot be fixed until a kernel is made that does not swap the mics.

Thanks so much for the great work on this mr-cook. This ROM has breathed new life into my I777.

Is a full wipe necessary if coming from 1.6 of this ROM?

If a full wipe is necessary, what is the easiest way to backup/restore? I have Titanium, but it always seems like I have to go through a lot of work to get things set back up. I tried to create an upgrade.zip in Titanium to run in recovery, but that seemed to leave things completely messed up and I had to fall back to a nandroid backup. Given that people seem to swap ROMs all of the time, there must be an easier way to restore than I am currently using. (NOTE: I know not to restore system apps, etc...)

Thanks,

Craig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I always do a full wipe and just go to play store hit menu > my apps > all and go down the list and reinstall all my apps. For some reason i get bad battery life when i do a batch restore from titanium. I do use it to restore my call logs, messages, and contacts in some cases. Be sure you're on a good Wi-Fi connection.

Yes, but some of the changes in 1.7 won't work unless you full wipe.
