SGH-S959G Users

Since the the SGH-S959G uses a different partition for its recovery, flashing my kernel will not change the recovery. So to remedy this @mr-cook has created a flashable zip that flashes TWRP 2.6.3.0 onto your device. This zip can be downloaded here:

TWRP 2.6.3.0

You can just flash this after flashing my kernel.

Useful Tips and Apps

Those out there that have contributed better ways to do things will have their ideas posted here so everyone can benefit from their knowledge.

First tip is brought to us by @razen_kain : There's an app called Online Nandroid Backup. It makes a backup without booting into recovery and you can specify the recovery you're using and which partitions you want to backup. Even better you can name your backups which I find VERY helpful when jumping between ROMs.

Sorry guys. STweaks got jacked on this one and I have to rebuild.

 

[bondlolo]

It boots on Onmi and WiFi and everything seems to work...the only issue is that STweaks is not showing as stated before.

Does it matter if we are on cwm or twrp? If not I'll try and flash tomorrow and report back.

Sweet, very glad to hear. You should also notice an increase in performance regardless of STweaks. I believe I fixed the problem and am going to rebuild tonight .

No it does not matter.

on both of them ? or just the omni version

 

[RenderBroken]

Both im afraid. You can flash build 12/22/2013 for CM11 and it works though.

CM11 im good here.. i didnt try stweaks and also the homescreen shortcuts get removed after update besides that i like it the buttons work

I see build 12-23....is that a good build or is that the build with stweaks messed up?

same one but still decent not unuseable

Working well over here.

Edit: Holy crap, man. This speed is incredible. Battery life is improved, too. Omni Kernel.

I am working on some merge issues and should be able to build tomorrow. I have to fly out to Alabama though so it wont be til the evening. Soon I will have the kernel ironed out for the i777. Till then consider these build as beta. They wont brick your phone but MAY have minor issues. But just because they may doesn't mean they will have problems. For my rom I was going to replace the stock kernel with the custom built one but I think I will leave the stock one and have the kernel in OP#2. I know some ppl like to have to rock stability the stock kernel has but others want the bleeding edge. I am here to say that I can make both happy.

Kind Regards,
Render

Something i noticed is that recovery says (in twrp Omni) that my phone is a i9100 so it dont let me install nightlies...maybe you have to change the recovery to a i777 recovery?
Thanks for your awesome work anyway!

Can you check your build.prop?
ro.product.device (or ro.build.product) should be "i777" or "SGH-I777"

@RenderBroken,

Perhaps semantics, but it may be worth noting (in the OP by the Omnirom build) that the recovery is TWRP? I admit, I assumed that it was CWM until seeing one of the recent posts.

I plan to link to it in the OMNI OP if that's alright with you. This provides an easier/faster route to a compatible recovery.

massive cheers, and thank you for this.

================================================================================
EDIT: the filename "RenderOMNI-kernel-12-23-CWM.zip" suggests CWM, but flashing the zip definitely gives TWRP, and my kernel version reads: zachariah@linux-box #8 <<that's you, correct?

This kernel makes the device noticeably snappier. :beer:

 

[razen_kain]

Well my phone is definitely snappier. There's only one little bug I've noticed. If i select to disable backlight illumination from settings/buttons menu they will turn off for a minute but will come back on and stay on until i go back in the menu and turn them on then off again. For now i just have them set for one second and that seems to be working fine. This is on the cm11 version
