So, as some of you may know, I sold my S2 T989 and upgraded to the Nexus 4. That's why I have to rely on testers to test my ROM's. Some people have been asking me to try porting RootBox, and voila! I ported it! The problem is that I can't test it myself so I need some people who would like to test. I promise it won't brick anyone.
This thread will also be a discussion thread for the port. If you need help flashing it or something else related to this port, just ask and I'll try to help . I'll also update this thread often with updates on how the port's going.
Just leave a comment down below and/or shoot me a PM if you try this and see if it boots, runs well, etc.

Yessir! Normal flashing procedure.
Noz the Skyrocket doesn't have a RootBox port. I ported this from the i9100 (int'l GS2).

Make a video of how to use fastboot. It's a must! People should know how to use it. Nowadays they go for a toolkit and when it goes wrong then don't know what to do.
Hope you can make it

I have been attempting to build cm11. I have followed the guide on the cyanogenmod site to build for d2spr. the build completed but will not boot past the splash screen. If anyone could tell me what Im missing I would greatly appreciate it. I have attached a copy of the terminal output after the build. I'm very new to linux so I really don't know what to look for. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
I can give more info if needed. Anyone?

You will need to use @Savoca 's Furnace kernel with any 4.4 AOSP ROM with the exception of AOSPA as I hear they have the still-to-be-determined fix in there. (Meaning it's fixed but I haven't been able to narrow down yet what specific fix(es) did the trick to add to CM kernel.)
