Yeah, I'm the one that did the bringup for the I777 (with help from many of the n7000 guys for general 4.4 bringup stuff).

Just as a warning the device is pretty low on my priorities list - it's kind of in automode. Of course, submissions to Omni gerrit are always welcome![...]

KNOWN ISSUES:

NOTES:

GApps: The size of full Gapps packages crowds /system, preventing the use of other /system based units (art, xposed, etc). Micro Gapps + google play installation of desired addons is a more efficient approach considering the resources available.

SURVIVAL: Go to super SU settings and install backup script. Root will survive updates. As for gapps, most installs include backup scripts. You don't need to re-flash them.
in system/addon.d, you should have a 99-supersu.sh, and 70-gapps.sh backup scripts, which survive the Rom update.
The script backs up beforehand and will restore after the flash.
From the backup script..
#!/sbin/sh
#
# /system/addon.d/99-supersu.sh (root:root 755)
# During an upgrade, this script backs up SuperSU-related files,
# /system is formatted and reinstalled, then the files are restored.

How to install CWM from TWRP?

3men2 said:
Boot into TWRP recovery
choose Install
Go to emmc to acces the internal sdcard and go to where you have the kernel with cwm( Siya, AJK, STI)
Flash the Kernel, when finished DON'T TOUCH REBOOT SYSTEM, Just go back to previous screen and choose the reboot to recovery option.

You will boot into CWM now and will be able to wipe everything without issues...

MobileOdin Install:
(procedure verified working (running SHOstock & Jeboo Kernel, & AT&T stock-rooted firmware) as of 2013-12-13 12:49):

With your phone on fully booted into (whatever ROM)
1) Gather all necessary flash files onto internal sdcard before performing these steps.
---a) Boot.IMG (extracted from omni-4.4.x-latesti777-nightly.zip)
---b) MrCook's ROM wipe.zip
---c) Omni-nightly.zip
---d) PA GApps (optional)
---e) SuperSU (optional)

2)Mobile-odin flash Omni's boot.img
>>the phone will try to reboot, but will likely fail. Three-finger salute (with the USB cable UNPLUGGED), until you are in TWRP recovery<<

3) [install] > [COOK'S ROM WIPE.zip] > [add more zips] > [omni-4.4.x-latesti777-nightly.zip] > [add more zips as desired] >>swipe to confirm flash>> [reboot system]

[...]"In system root data folder (/data) make a blank file named local.prop

Edit the file and add qemu.sf.lcd_density=195 I set my density to 195.

Set permissions to 644 (rw/r/r)"

So apparently settings in local.prop override build.prop and aren't lost when flashing a new nightly. I'd guess this would work for any settings that you wanted to retain between flashes. [...]

Can this ROM dance with the AJK kernel?

What gapps did you flash?

I myself flashed ParanoidAndroid's 4.4 GApps.

Unfortunately, as of v4.9, it is not compatible with KitKat in general.

Could you provide the steps in which you flashed this rom? I wiped both flashes, system and data. I've tried flashing 3 times now, but the only thing it'll do is reload and then go back into recovery mode.

I've always noticed that it says:
"script succeeded: result was [/system]"

Any help with the direction I should take?

cyril279 · Nov 27, 2013 at 7:16 AM

Steps:
1) mr cook's ROM wipe script
2) Flash Omni
3)Flash PA 4.4 Gapps

I factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, installed Omni, installed Gapps, and rebooted phone.

atvspecialties · Nov 27, 2013

I used the gapps linked in RenderBroken's 4.4. I also had to use the supersu option as root didn't show up. :thumbup::thumbup:

You may also need to update your recovery by flashing the last CM Nightly. Thats what i did and I had no issues.

And if any I9100ers drop by and wonder why there is no I9100 yet - I don't own one, and I'm not sure what happened to xplodwild's... I think his might be dead.

OmniRom nightlies for i777 use TWRP RECOVERY

I haven't been this happy about a release in god knows how long. I just did a FULL-ON HAPPY DANCE!

cyril279 · Nov 27, 2013 at 3:50 PM

@Entropy512, I didn't mean to steal your thunder, I was excited to share your released work with the community.

BInspirinG · Nov 27, 2013 at 4:34 PM

I have tried manually wiping and formatting, along with using the rom script by cook. Both yields the same results for me. All 4 tried have been from the 11/26 CM 10.2 nightly.

Basically, after my wiping and flashing processes, the phone just reboots into recovery again.

atvspecialties · Nov 27, 2013

I'm running this one.

I'm running the 1127 nightly with PA-Gapps (Modular Full).

When you're playing music on either the built-in player or Google Music, you get a ~1sec audio error (not a skip, more like a digital stutter) when the screen goes off and when you unlock.

I also switched to ART to see if it made any difference in the above. It didn't.

Not huge, just reporting.

Idk why, but whenever I switch over to art with that same gapps package, I get force closes left and right. Weird...

I have noticed that this ROM give me pretty bad battery life. Otherwise, performance is great. I will report back tomorrow night for my final verdict on battery life.

Yepp that basically ear-raped me the first time it happened. And the second. Thats when I stopped listening to my music hahaha.

More customization coming soon?

Will the security element emulation for wallet become implemented? I always wanted to use NFC payment on this phone
