Yup. That's what i'm doing. Tried Unname and couple ROMs, come back to S8.2 and waiting ICS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Damani311:
Yes I use my phone. Not alot when I got 40+ hours on a single charge, but definitely was pulling 20+ with a good bit of use.

Unplugged about 23 hours ago, left it last night at 24% charge, woke up and it's stone dead. It should not be losing 24% in 8 hours just sitting there.

When I first installed the rom, if I left it overnight without it doing anything, it would have gone from 24% to around 20-21%. And now it's stone dead.

Really concerned as to what has caused this to magically happen. I did add a small case to it, would that be the reason?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
Wipe and reflash. Or live the high life with an ICS themed ROM. The battery on this phone isnt vsry accurate IMO. It does that to me a lot. Ill have around 30% left and itll shut off. Ill reboot and be at like 5% which is what the real battery life is. Thats with about every ROM on this board.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
That isn't the real battery life. You need to delete your battery stats and calibrate your battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Second post down, in the attached files, Chamonix gives the app out for free for everyone who is part of XDA. Either use a barcode scanner on your phone and scan the QR code to scan and download it to your phone, and then install it or go to the webpage via your browser.

Don't worry about that. I think what you need to mostly look at is Partial Wakelocks. Where there is red, that is what is keeping your phone from entering deep sleep.

Still no luck installing Serendipity 8.2

Hey everyone,

I'm still not able to install this ROM and would really like to.

My Skyrocket was built on Dec 13th, could there be something different in my hardware that is preventing me from installing?

Here are my current specs:

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: I727UCKJ2

Kernal version: 2.6.35.11

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mikey, my daughter has my old Infuse running your latest ROM and luvs it. She asked me about the four button light up when a message comes in and I can't answer her as to why it doesn't work. Other than that I am a big fan of your ROMs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AaronStC:
You seem to contradict yourself. Serendipity 8 isn't a Skyrocket ROM and won't work on it. You should be seeking help on installing ROMs in the Skyrocket forum. All the ROMs and discussion in this forum is for the AT&T Galaxy SII (i777).

GO BUY A SAMSUNG GALAXY S II i777 THEN IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL SERENDIPITY. BUT REMEMBER, IT'S FOR AGES 12 AND UP!

I don't use Juice Defender and I get about 30+ hours on one charge with 5 hours of screen time and wifi on the whole time. So yes, I would say, delete the app, or check its settings. For instance, if you have the app auto syncing, then change it to sync every 6 hours or whatever.

I've already tried a few different flavors (UnNamed, SHOstock, ICScrewed, Tasks V9)with SHOstock being my fall back... This said, how is Serendipity 8 in regards to battery life, speed and the dreaded lag?? TIA all

I haven't posted in almost 5 years (back when I installed a custom ROM for my 8125 to overclock to 216 MHz...), but wanted to say I just installed Serendipity and it rocks. Super fast, no lag at all, very clean.

I had upgraded OTA to UCKK6 which sucked my battery down about 10% per hour. I "derooted" back to 2.3.4 which fixed the battery issue but broke Wifi. I then rooted 2.3.4 and installed Serendipity 8.2. Very quick and easy install, reinstalled apps with Titanium Backup and I was up and running in about 30 minutes.

Just wanted to say thanks for your hard work and creating a great ROM that preserves the great TW interface while improving overall performance and removing bloat.

I agree. After trying all the other ROMs available here on xda for the i777 this is the one I came back to. In terms of speed, stability and most important: battery life, this ROM wins. I use this with the latest Siyah kernel. Fantastic ROM.

Skip songs Mod

Hi Mikey. I'm gonna try your ROM tonight. I was wondering what are the chances of tweacking the "skip songs with volume keys mod" to skip songs when the screen is either on or off. It will be pretty convenient while playing music with a bluetooth headset that does not support music skips and spending quality time browsing the internet, playing games or reading trough the xda app.

It seems like the mod causes problems while making phone calls. Is there any way to adjust the mod code to do an override during phone calls to control the volume while the screen is either on or off? Or maybe to tweak the mod by adding an option under volume settings where you can turn it on or off for when you really need it. I think it can be turn into an app like "just shake", but the problem with this app is that it does'n work with popular apps like "pandora".

I was just wondering if there is at least a little small possibility that something can be done to make it work the way it should be. I'm willing to take some basic courses at school just to learn the android code, so I can tweak apps.

Thanks in advance man!!! :)

Hi do I need Entropy512's kernel if I'm already rooted with cwm before I flash this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
If you can boot into CWM recovery, you can flash this ROM. It is probably made with one of Entropy's kernels. Check the OP for that info. It also appears to be compatible with Siyah, as noted by another poster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I am so happy I found this ROM. Exactly what I wanted. The battery usage is so much better on 2.3.4 based roms. Also the battery with no battery percentage is a blessing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
Umm...it turns out that I made a major mistake and used the Samsung I-9100 root method for this phone.

The weird thing is that the phone works and everything its just that the battery life is horrendous.

So did I screw up big time? Do I have to go back to stock and then use the At&t SGH-I777 root method? What do I do?

Idk what method you're referring to. But try to wipe data and cache then reflash serendipity or whatever rom your on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Don't know which root method you used... This doesn't belong in the Serendipity thread unless you are planning on flashing Serendipity. If you are - if the I9100 kernel you flashed has CWM and it is usable (the keymap might be broken), just flash Serendipity and wipe.

Well in all honesty, that's what keeps me from flashing more roms. I can't stand the battery %, but I still want to be able to see the battery level. And most roms have the % built in unfortunately. I've tried building my own theme and learning how to modify the status bar myself but I don't have as much time on my hands now as I did. Anyone know of an easy script to flash to remove the % ? I have ROM toolbox pro but it doesn't work when trying to change the battery icon.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
I thought I messed it up because the splash screen says GT-I9100 but I checked the YouTube video again I used to root it and the guy said to ignore that. I'm on the zedomax kernel right now. So all I need to do is wipe and then flash serendipity?

Also what backup methods should I use? Samsung kies and titanium backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
If you follow the instructions on the website and use Tibu to backup, you should be fine. Only backup what is necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
Is it ok to backup and restore app+data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Don't backup system data. You can backup app and app data, but just to be safe, I would make two backups - one of just app and one of app and app data so if something happens when you install the app data, you have something to fall back on just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
Ok thanks!

One more question. Hopefully it will fix after I wipe and flash serendipity, but voice calls is using over 70% percent of my battery even after a restart. Have you heard of this problem from anyone? And what do you think might be causing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Restarts don't change your battery stats because your phone never truly turns off. Wipe Serendipity and see. I get 24 hours on moderate use in one battery charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
Do you use a custom kernel or the one that comes with serendipity?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Serendipity uses an older version of Entropy's Daily Driver; I use the latest.

Is it possible that a bad root was performed? (Like i rooted it wrong or something?) I mean everything works fine, but the battery life is horrible. Maybe the flash was bad or the kernel sucks?? Idk.

I really want to know because I'm trying to fix this galaxy s2 I'm talking about for a friend and I'm hoping that if I wipe everything and then flash serendipity it will fix it.

Thanks.

I know battery life is dependent on many factors and everyone will have different results because of how they use their phone. However, my friend actually went out and bought two extra batteries (so 3 in total) just to get through one day. That just doesn't sound right to me. I don't care what it is he is doing.

.

After, go here and install the 1/24/2012 build.

And then test and check your battery life.

Trust me, follow the steps on the website. Things may seem weird or you might think it's not going right, but it is. Just do everything completely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
You want me to install Entropy512's kernel using Odin even though I'm already rooted right now?

Or do I just flash the Entropy512 kernel in CWM?

Edit: Does wiping everything and doing a factory data reset remove root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
No. Do the steps I said. I'm not trying to be mean or rude by any means, but do what I said in the other post.

No it does not remove the root, but just follow the instructions I put. It'll be easier instead of jumping around only doing the parts you actually need.

Following all the steps in secession will make sure you have less chance of making mistakes, since you seem to be new to this whole thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mudcat242000:
I understand you want me to follow the steps and I will. Not once did I have the feeling you were being rude. In fact I thank you for the help and apologize for being such a noob.

My question is that on the instructions it says

From Stock:

1. Install Entropy512's kernel, found here.

I am not on stock right now. I am currently rooted. So do I re-root the phone or something with Entropy512' kernel or just flash it in CWM?
