Install Instructions

Make sure you have a custom CWM Recovery & your device is rooted (if you have custom CWM Recovery then chances are that 99% that your device is rooted).
If you are coming from XXLSJ Samsung ROM No need to Wipe Data
If you are coming from GB/AOSP/AOKP (ICS or JB) Roms or a Samsung 4.0.3/4.0.4 builds you MUST wipe data

UPDATE:

Sorry for being away guys, I know so many of you waited for this rom, I was away and had some issues in my life which needed to be sorted out.
My S2 unit broke after I had an accidental fall from a bus and the whole unit is cracked and broken.
So sadly I have come to a conclusion to discontinue this ROM as without a device I really cannot blindly release it to you guys.

Again my sincerest apologies.

For all the bootloops

the solution for THE BOOTLOOPS for me was simple...(i also got the bootloops)

i wiped at first... and got bootloops..
then i flashed the old rom (a VK XWLPY) waited for the "insert pin " screen didn't even bother , rebooted
and flashed right above it WITHOUT WIPE this rom

then EVERYTHING FINE

JoelDroid this is an Excellent rom... and you deserve congrats...

My girlfriend got crazy about the Calendar import... its the one i have in my Note and she wanting it one year now..
i assume you imported from Note or something ... EXCELENT..

it's very smoth... the keypad for calling is the awsome JB .. the feeling everything is very very fine..

i just have to see the battery now...

..
I ll finish with one only suggestion.. everyone i think is used by now with the Shortcuts under the 15 toggle screen...
I mean mainly the shortcuts for the Control Panel Etc...

i don't know how easy is an implementation... but that is a neddle in a heystack... the rom is VERY VERY GOOD

    Who said there will be no updates? As soon the official release is out Joel will continue working just be patient.

    Best regard, Coempi

    Exactly await the next version once Samsung releases the next base.

    Hello Joel,

    How can I get the standard battery Icon for your ROM, i hate the % indicators, Id like the normal battery icon.
    Thanks,

    Paul
