ok, I'm using : The kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package

located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432

flashing it with Odin3 1.85 in pda slot right now.

It is GB, ver 2.3.4 and it has 3e recovery (dunno if it allows custom .zip installs)

and it doesn't have CWM. So I'll need a kernel next?

EDIT: So here's the scary part. In Settings>About Phone

My phone number/network, mobile network type, imei and imei sv are all: Unknown

-_- !!!

Google put all my contacts in and stuff from my gmail, but if I try to call one it says network not available -_-

Did something erase my data? All I used was cook's rom wipe, TWRP wipe, and odin to boot the rom linked, AND I used odin to boot This one previously as well (when trying to put CWM on the phone after it rebooted after rom wipe - and it couldn't install omni because CWM didn't properly update from 6.0.3.2 to 6.0.4.4+) :: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181

Wow, I was so tired last night just trying to get my phone working, I see a nice "Warning" in the rom I flashed when CWM crapped out (no rom, no boot, after using cook's rom wipe and CWM failed to update after flashing 6.0.4.4 (successful, but no actual update)) So I used the above rom just to get CWM on the phone, to find it didn't have CWM, and eventually i just odin flashed a CWM kernel, then updated to omni/TWRP but still no booting past anim.

So my terrible trek has its path laid out, but I've no idea which way it should have went. All because my 4.1.2 JB OTA update to 4.2.2 caused everything to die on my phone (acore FC, kb FC, everything FC)

ugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I also deleted all my ancient backups off the internal/external sd cards to save a gb or 2, maybe I kept one on the pc.

EDIT: I didn't find a nandroid on my pc, but I did use EFS Pro backup at one point, and I have the EFS backup disc image file! But it says i'm not rooted when I try to restore it -_- So I'm trying Zerg rush exploit 4, lol this thing is hilarious. Its doing its thing right now.

EFS pro backup gets stuck at Writing image to partition, and I got a backup on the phone (aha, who knew) as well as PC... so renamed the one on phone, and moved it to sdcard, then did this: (Thanks to [MENTION=4173973]HellcatDroid[/MENTION] )

su
umount /efs
dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096

reboot

Upon rebooting, I get a couple texts ;) SUCCESS !! :victory:

Now what do I do to use omni w/o constant bootload anim? :P

Edit: Installed an old entropy kernel via odin, used jig, booted CWM, installed 6.0.4.5 ran romwipe, ran omni, reboot, SUCCESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS should I start omni or go straight for gapps/su?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grave_digger:
Install the proper ggapps and super su according to instructions in op, I stress following the steps exactly, then enjoy the smoothness. Welcome to omni ROM :thumbup: one question. You said you got a ota jb update, did straight talk send a update or is your phone a i777? Just curious. Thanks

Also on rereading your post you mention restoring previous back ups. I may be wrong and someone correct me if I am but I believe kit kat uses a different file type system and there can be issues with backups from previous versions.

a grave digger will be the last person in the world to let you down in a tight spot.

I was using this(Yes ATT i777): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574718

except 4.1.2 and under Rom Controls or w/e I went to Check for Updates, did an OTA update to 4.2.2 then everything was FC'ing, so I figured "Time to upgrade to kitkat"

His rom was HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE from every button to every icon to font to where each button/layout softkeys, nav, rings etc. were placed to what they looked like to what they did, short press and long press for any/every function you could change backgrounds to every area/page/tab to different images/opacities and more (Wallpaper + Pulldown image + See through lockscreen (my choice) + Text message area + SMS Themselves to Font colors/styles inside and outside the SMS/text area)

TBH as of now I don't see any improvements coming to kitkat lol. I'll fiddle tomorrow, need sleep. Can I get flashplayer working by running the apk on kitkat? Also why does Google Maps widget (Says Play store once placed) turn into some hentai app wallpaper download when placed on a home screen? Is this an easter egg or dev's prank lol. Guess I get to learn all the roms neat functions! Any tips?

I restored like 1-3 apps that are not on the market (adaway) and data to a couple apps so I wouldn't have to re-login and re-do settings (gas buddy, gmail, yahoo, ebay, steam, xda app and the like)

Battery Life ?

I am thinking of changing from this ROM for batter battery life . Which one will give better battery life Render CM or official CM ?

I was on this ROM from the time it came out but battery life is extremely bad .

I factory formatted today to check again but in 90 minutes lost 5% with Android OS as the biggest culprit . I have all tweaks like xposed , boot manager , greenify , wakelock detector , Network on 2G with WIFI always on with no additional battery using apps like Switchr or floating touchbar or anything . Still battery loss of 5% in 90 minutes on STANDBY with no usage is bad .

Auto sync is on but no apps to eat my battery like no flipboard , no weather apps , no news app .

Will wait today for a completer battery cycle

What are my options ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
This is a KK issue, NOT a rom issue. We are seeing larger battery drain across every KK roms, and multiple devices. There are many tweak guides that will help you get a better grip on your battery life, but you (and others - not singling you out) have to understand it has nothing to do with the way Omni, CM, AOKP etc build roms: it's all Google.

With the new KK update they have changed some things, such as how location reporting works, that drains at a higher rate than JB.

So switching roms won't really help you. What you could do is try a custom kernel; that will give you more tweaking options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kuduku:
Got that

Even in location I am on battery saving so its basically Google KK issue .

Will downgrade after this battery cycle as have done the install and everything from scratch , so will see the battery life and decide
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
This would be the first thing to do: turn off all location reporting. There's no such thing as "battery saving mode" while Google servers are pinging you and your location all day. You don't have to downgrade, but you could start by following a guide like this. This and several others have helped me better control battery drain for w awhile now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighmen:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
for those who updated to 2/18 and have no WiFi, i give you a fix for that.

you want to download RenderBrokens latest kernel for OmniROM, and install the kernel. so like this

Reboot in CWM/TWRP (TWRP for me)

Install Render-OMNI-KK-02-04-TWRP.zip or CWM version

Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip (optional if root is lost or wanting root now)

Wipe Cache/Dalvik

Reboot (say no to fix root if on CWM)

now i put the Kernel and SU zips in FlashAfterUpdate folder in /sdcard0/OpenDelta/

thats how i fixed WiFi on this nightly :fingers-crossed:

sd card not mounted

Just came from the 2/23 ROM, but now I'm on the latest 2/26 ROM and the 2/4 kernel and I seem to be having an issue that all of a sudden creeped up... My internal SD card is not mounting... When I look at file manager, my sdcard0 and usbdisk0 both show 0 items. In TWRP, my internal storage shows 0 MB free and when I look at the mount section, the only items checked are: cache and microsd card. I can still see my external storage just fine. It's booting up fine and I can see my apps... but internal storage is just a goner!?

Yeah... TWRP shows:

E: unable to mount '/emmc'

E: unable to mount storage

Any idea how this happened, and what options I have to reclaim my internal storage mount (without a possible format)? If anyone has gone through this, could you please let me know how you recovered?

Thank you,

I dont know whats up with your phone. never heard of that one before. but at least do a clean wipe of everything & flash omni without renders kernel to see if it continues...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Vnvjeep:
Well just to let everyone know what I ended up doing... I booted back into Omni, went into storage, and hit the "Erase SD Card" button which formatted the Internal SD so that it would show space again. I then went back into recovery and restored an old backup from External SD only to find out that somehow TWRP didn't backup all of my Internal SD data... grrr... so I had to resort to an even further backdated dump of data I copied off when I moved a bunch of stuff onto my laptop from my phone. Anyways... some data lost, not a big loss... but I'm still perplexed as to why internal SD would go kaput like that. I'm keeping the kernel on default for now.

Thanks again for the input.

-Mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Glad to hear that everything's up and running as expected.

FYI, when TWRP or CWM back up "data" they are creating a backup of a specific partition of the internal SD card, not the entire internal SD card. Even a full nandroid backup won't include the entire internal SD card, just /system, /data, /boot and sometimes /efs and-or /preload.

Copying the internal sd card contents to some other media is the only way that I know of to back-up those extra folders and their contents.

-Cyril
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Vnvjeep:
Learn something new everyday... so much for assuming a full nandroid actually got *everything*. Grrr. I wonder if there's a checkbox I can hit before hitting the backup that will take care of internal SD as well... I'll have to check next time I back it up. Thanks... ;)

I have tried to install on both my brother's device and mine. The issue I seem to have is that once I try to do a restart after installation the phones hang on the Samsung Galaxy boot screen and does nothing else. To get the devices working again I have to restore from a CWM backup that I had done before. I am running CWM 6.0.4.4 and followed all the installation guidelines as stated (Mr Cook's ROM Wipe/Flash OMNI nightly/Flash GApps/Flash SU) but I am wondering what could this issue be.

-which GApps are you installing?

-after installation, are you ever able to completely boot into OMNI?

-have you tried wiping /data and then then attempting to reboot?

-have you re-downloaded the nightly?

another installation option:

-instead of the OP sequence:

You're starting from carbon, correct? that's what I was on before I tried OMNI, so you should be on cwm 6.0.4.4

-flash Omni from CWM

-reboot to recovery (this should take you to TWRP)

-factory reset

-flash omni again (do not install GApps or SuperSU)

-reboot system

did it boot?

if yes, then return to recovery and flash GApps and SuperSU

if no, then flash stock JB firmware (UCMD8) > framaroot > mobile odin the boot.img from OMNI > reboot to recovery > flash omni > factory reset > reboot system

I am installing GApps modular micro. After installation I was able to boot completely into OMNI but it was when I tried to reboot it would hang on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen.

I havent tried wiping /data and then rebooting, but I tired it with 2 different nightlies and it was the same.

I will try the option you gave to see if that works.

EDIT: I tried the installation option you suggested and it booted and I installed GApps and SuperSU but upon that reboot I get a message that Setup Wizard is not responding.

EDIT: I am up and running with OMNI now. After getting the "Setup Wizard not responding" message I did a factory reset, flashed OMNI and GApps, rebooted to recovery and then flashed SuperSU and then rebooted to system.
