supernexus rom

[dragula2012]

hello. I have a galaxy s2 I777 on ICS 4.0.3 unrooted . My question is if I need to root my phone in order to flash the rom supernexus. Another question is in case that I decided to update to jelly bean 4.1.2 using odin or kies, I 'll have to unroot the phone or just flash the update?
thanks for your help

What carrier are you on? I can move this to the root section where this thread can receive better support.

You're welcome. Moved to Galaxy S2 (AT&T) All Things Root section.

You would need to unroot as I believe once you begin to install, it would error out.

But if it did succeed, you would lose root.

If you do want to flash the SuperNexus ROM (I've got it on my S2) you will need to root first. If you wish to go back to the stock 4.1.2 you'll need to flash back to stock Gingerbread first (or ICS, depending what came on your phone when you got it). That will remove root so you just update normally. If you don't like SuperNexus, and want the TouchWiz features, you could always look at the ShoStock roms, which are built on TouchWiz.

is it fine if I use the ExynosAbuse to root my galaxy 2 thats on IC 4.0.4? Could I flash both supernexus and shostock 3 or I need something different? As I stated above my phone is unrooted now. I'll appreciate your help.

I couldn't say for certain as I am unfamiliar with that method, but the SGH-i777 is based on the Exynos chip so it should be okay.

I finally managed to root and flash my S2 I777 with supernexus 2. I am glad that I got rid of that annoying SOD. Supernexus is an awsome rom. So far it is running ok. the only issue I have is the music player. It display a message like my music files arent supported. I reflashed twice the gapps but without success. anyone who can help?

What format do you have your music in? I don't have any problem playing mp3's or m4a's with the SuperNexus Music app.

 

[dragula2012]

all of them are in mp3 format,but some in different bitrate.The player only reproduce some but not all.I think I made a bad flash because the first time I flashed the rom it got stuck at the nexus logo. What I did was to take out the battery an do a factory reset. after the the rom worked fine except for the music player.anyway thanks for your support.

Aahh, yes you probably interrupted the app configuration. After you flash a fresh ROM the first boot can appear to hang on the logo screen. You must be patient while the system rebuilds the app structure. It can take a good ten or fifteen minutes depending on the ROM.

fixed ! the music player is working now. I reflashed build 1 , 2 and 3. thanks
