root

OK. I'm on stock 4.0.4 , ucll6 and I wanna directly root and install LP and mm roms. What's best method? All threads seem to be unmaintained and outdated. Thanks.

Did root via arogon method. Now what recovery do I flash? Figuring kernels are flashed with it.

My name says it all. That said I'm pretty sure that you are going to have to increase your space to be able to install MM with the appropriate gapps package. Same holds true for most LP roms on here.

You might can try this thread for a LP rom with a pico gapps package http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-i777-call-t3211103 (note: I'm not sure it requires resizing partitions since it does not specify.) Should be able to also find a version of TWRP 2.7.1.0 or newer floating around here. I also add that though lots of these threads on here haven't been posted in in a couple of years, the information you find is still uptodate. GL

If I flash that twrp 2.7, wouldn't I need a certain kernel?

Honestly man I can't say for sure. Sorry.

I'm running a s959g and followed the guide in the help forum laid out by Mr.cook (you'd likely find more/better help in the help forum). I will say that from what I gathered the kernel and recovery are linked in the S2. That said when I flashed my 1st recovery I was on stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread and went straight to the TWRP 2.7 version. From there I flashed Rogersb11's 4.4.4 ROM that had the shift kernel (awesome kernel btw check it out) built in. GL

ETA: I'd almost say that as long as you find a i777 version of the TWRP and installed it you'd be good to go.
