[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KeeperOfThePizza:
Yup! Twice! I've tried even reflashing the rom. I installed apex launcher and the force closing/freezing and lag stopped

I didn't go through all the steps to install it, just flashed it via cwm. Seems to work fine so far with beaming websites and contacts and some other things. The stock image gallery does not seem to be supported for some reason though.

I know this is an issue for me by adding the agenda widget to the home screen it causes touchwiz FCs like crazy. This the second rom I have used where this is an issue. Is there a way to fix that widget with the sg3 launcher I haven't installed the apex launcher wonder if it works under there.

What widgets/wallpapers are you using with it? I never had a problem with it lagging or freezing. Did you uninstall things with Titanium backup?

In recovery mode, go to advanced and clear ExTweaks profiles, and init.d scripts to see if that fixes it.

Where is the settings located for changing the quality of hd recording?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Video mode->Settings->Video Quality

I personally recommend 720p resolution because it gives you a wider viewing angle and focuses better than 1080p

You need to buy the JKay Deluxe Settings app from the Play Store to change the batteryto the stock battery. The framework has JKay's mods baked in.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
It seems like a lot of people are having problems with laggy/FC'ing TouchWiz UX. I don't get it, I picked that launcher because it had less problems than other launchers. I also flashed the same build on my phone wiping everything and... the only thing I haven't wiped is the bootloader but that should also work.

That's okay. I disabled alpha transitions in the framework because it tends to lag up during transitions. Think of it as a feature (you'l get used to it)

Woah I just noticed the Month and Today widgets are still there. They were supposed to be removed since they didn't support the new TouchWiz. Use "Today Agenda" because that works.

Missing libraries? Maybe? I'll post a minor update filling those in.

That's strange. The error message is just a warning and shouldn't be preventing you from accessing any options. Did you disable the back button by accident? scroll through the list of options a couple of times, or keep hitting Vol-Down until you see a message that says "back button enabled" or something similar.

EDIT: What kernel or ROM were you using before? I think the best option is to flash my ROM, manually reboot your phone and see if that works. Sometimes old CWMs can get bugged up when new ones get installed.

All of these problems are really strange. On the 20 devices I have tested with this ROM, not one has exhibited these problems. I'll get into what I removed and what I kept from the ROM and see if any of those libraries/resources had any effect. My own personal device has been wiped several times to ensure the least amount of bugs. If you have a SERIOUS bug report (FC'ing, etc,) send me a logcat via PM. Bugs like "weird transitions" or "no mic in keyboard" (install google voice search, clear keyboard data, reboot) can stay in this thread but PLEASE, make sure you search the thread and see if the problem has been addressed. I answer every PM, so fire away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] catchmeu:
Awesome ROM. Smooth indeed. I love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Known problem. In CWM, go to kernel settings and wipe your init.d folder and ExTweaks profiles. Siyah kernel's way of storing and accessing settings changed between some versions.

It's an odexed ROM, it takes at most 3 minutes lol

Im still having issues with getting the voice input key to work even after installing Google Voice Search, I think you should just remove S-Voice, its crappy and doesnt work well at all, plus it just messes up the keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rklatte:
Just to chime in with my $.02:

Overall this ROM is great. Smooth (of course). Awesome work as usual! :laugh:

I did have a couple FC's with the Touchwiz UX ONLY when I added one of the Touchwiz based calendar widgets. Once I removed those from the homescreen I've had no more FC's.

(Side point - too bad, actually, I really like the 4x4 Touchwiz Agenda widget; but I've got one from Business Calendar I can use).

If there was ONE thing I could change (maybe there's a setting in some configuration file somewhere): is there anyway to reduce the size of the status bar? It just seems really...big :confused:.

When I flashed the theme linked below (I really wanted the ICS Blue style) it restored the usual behavior (both the slide down action and the brightness). I also noticed that it removes the font size option in the Display settings.

(Use the XWLPG Odexed version)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
The only way I've been able to do that is to use LCD Resolution and change it to around 200.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nst6563:
thanks for the link to that theme. I may try that if I don't get used to how it works now. I installed JKay and there's a lot of things you can change that made it not so bad.

For those that are having FC issues, I had them in the beginning and here's what I did to get rid of them:

backup all data you want to keep to computer (I did via usb in recovery mode)

format internal AND external memory

Partition SD Card to 4GB.

copy data back

install this rom

reboot

After doing all that, I haven't had a single FC yet and my quadrant score even went up to 3910 from 3705.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Shouldn't have to do all that just to run a rom smoothly..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nst6563:
your mileage may vary? :p

just sharing what seemed to have fixed my lag/FC problems. I've had to do similar with other roms as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
I've waited 15 minutes and it won't make it past siyah logo

Then the ROM hasn't even started yet. Restart and wipe Siyah settings (It's in CWM -> Kernel settings) and wipe init.d and extweaks profile. Gokhanmoral changed some internal settings not that long ago that makes old kernels not compatible.

Flash a JKay Theme or JKay again.

Not removing S-Voice. I use it every day, and so do a lot of my users. I'll re-add Google Voice Search since that re-enables the voice-input key.

I modified JKay in it's stock form to enable tweaks to the Settings app and SystemUI. Flashing JKay again will get rid of those tweaks, obviously.

Very well said. Wiping everything is a good idea.

The problem is that things get clogged up sometimes. The partitioning is optional, but if you're having problems running any ROM, it's worth wiping everything manually before installing a ROM. I do this every time I flash to CM9 or from CM9 since it's a completely different version of Android and some binaries are not compatible. I tend to get FCs coming from stock AOSP ROMs when I don't wipe everything (factory reset, format system, and in some rare cases, internal SD after wiping). In 99.9999% of cases, not doing this will not affect anything but there some rare complications in which that's the only way to get things working properly.

I'm about halfway in diagnosing the TouchWiz UX problem. I've solved and tested the NFC problem, and I'm removing a couple of "risky" features. I'll have a revert feature in the installer for some parts of the UI that some users dislike (like the new Status Bar or the snappier transitions and TouchWiz). Anyone agree/disagree with this? It'll increase the size of the ROM by nearly 50-75Megs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
Just wanted to say thanks for the ROM. As with every ROM I have tried from you this one has so far (24 hours on my phone) been awesome I have not had one FC or strange issue. Buttery smooth and flawless (knock on wood). Thanks again for all your hard work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] systemgeek:
So which gives better battery life? Enabled or disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
I honestly don't care about the size. With the 2gb of app space, ~13 gb of user space, 32gb external SD card, I would be fine with a 1gb ROM. I'm not sure why people care about the size, unless they are downloading it onto their phone directly over 3g... in which case... get more data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Theoretically, if you leave data on for extended periods of time, enabled. If you use data once a week and when you use it you'd prefer it to work at 100% speed battery be damned, leave it off. It defaults to on and I don't mind waiting an extra second for it to connect.

Okay, so next release, no compression at all.

Sarcasm aside, I'm pretty sure 99% of people agree with you. Since there's no way in hell I'm turning my ROM into a nightly or even a weekly, I don't think anyone'll mind the extra size.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bookem11:
Q

So I reflashed after a full wipe again and had the same g+ hangout issue. TO test further, I flashed AOKP and had the same g+ hangout issue. So it may be an app issue, not your rom. So I'm back, enjoying shishirrom again.

Anyone else have problems or am I the only one?

The issue was FC upon answering hangout request, no problem when initiating a hangout, though...

Thanks for the new release Shishir! Loading this up right away! (Loving the installer, too)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Yes please! I think more options are always a better idea, especially considering how much space we can have (of course, that's just my opinion). Then again, I haven't actually tried the rom yet, been too lazy, but I will eventually!

P.S. Does Entropy's kernel still work with this? I know he doesn't have all the fancy options/settings as Siyah or others, but his is always rock solid, even though it hasn't been updated in awhile. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, but I wanted to double check with others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Well I booted up today and I got nothing but FC's idk what happened. I guess I'll test out the new AT&T official update for a while
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Yep.

It's quite strange how NOTHING's working like it should for some people and for other's it's perfect. A fix was detailed a couple posts back where a user backed up and formatted his internal and external storage, then installed the ROM. It worked for him. Something weird with the way TW UX is initialized? I don't know. All I know is I'm starting from a clean slate next release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcc:
I'm all for more UI options in the installer. You've done a great job on this ROM- it's very solid for me so far! It's just that I prefer to have the option to drag the notification bar down partially and quickly flick it back up to check just one notification. But for now I'm OK with that minor gripe since this ROM has clearly had quite a bit of effort and polish put into it.

Edit: Coming from SHOstock2, I like how turning the flashlight on via holding the home button on the lockscreen is a toggle instead of a momentary switch. It's a nice improvement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahn8:
Thanks for the update! Really loving it!

I've had a few instances where the phone became really slow and unresponsive and then get the message that TouchWiz crashed. But other than that (which has happened only twice), it's a dream to use.

In terms of the next release, I could care less if the total size of the ROM as long as the ROM's performance is as good (or better :fingers-crossed:) than this one :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] systemgeek:
Need battery help. I am at the newest version of this ROM and I like it a lot. All of it is stock and the modem I picked is the LE5 one. Currently I am getting about 3 to 4 hours battery life and that is really bad. When I had the stock ATT rom which what GB I was getting about 6 hours. I have tried other ICS roms and they are actually worse then this one for battery life. I need to have wireless and data on all the time so turning them off is not an option. I do not use bluetooth nor NFC and have them both off.

Can any one give me some recommendations on what to tweak to improve my battery? I know kernel and modem play an important role but I do not know which would be better for both performance and battery life.

My phone is a US ATT i777 model.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Modem: KH7

Go into CWM->Kernel Settings and make your default profile "battery". You should get atleast 8 hours under heavy usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] systemgeek:
First, are you saying switch to modem KH7? If so I can do that.

Second, when I go in to CWM I see the bar at the top change to CWM but nothing else happens. Just now got a message that the app was not responding. Can I just install it from google play?

Third, I would be ecstatic to have 8 hours of battery life...

On a hunch I booted to recovery and found the option to change the profile. Whats the simplest way to change modems? Download the KH7 one and install the zip or just re-flash the whole rom (but with no wipe) and pick the KH7 modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
It's definitely the way you use your phone and the apps you install. Can you take a picture of the battery page in the settings, CPU spy and better battery stats all after you use your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Which ever the way you want. The ROM has this functionality built-in. Try that if you want (remember not to wipe)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rk249:
I was actually getting pretty decent battery life with LE5. But I'm using LD4 because I get a stronger network signal and better data speed. Thats probably to do with my location than anything else. So it might not be completely the modems fault. Get BetterBatteryStats app its the most useful app for diagnosing battery problems. It tells you all about the wakelocks and alarms that are keeping the phone awake. Use it for a day or two and then post the log here or on the BBS thread and then other members will be able to help you with your battery problems (modem or otherwise). Hope this helps.

Since its wifey's phone and she's no good with technology, I need something as reliable as possible. I'll post up my impressions after a few days of testing.

One thing I want to ask, since this is an ODEXed ROM, am I going to be able to flash inverted gapps to it or its not that simple?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Yeah, you can, but this is a Samsung ROM so you'll have to delete the Samsung apps that you're planning on replacing. I'll tell you what, PM me the zip you're thinking of flashing and I'll update the script so it deletes the old files and ensures everything works.

However the new apps from Google will NOT play nice with the ROM. So if you're going to try them out, go ahead, just delete the odex files for the Google Apps you're flashing (like Gallery, Contacts, MMS, etc.) before installing the .zip you're going to flash. Hope that helps a little.

1) Is there a way to have the numbers on the top of the keypad on the lock screen password like it was on gingerbread?

2) If I run the Gingerbread version of ShiShir to have the numbers across the top and overall smoother experience, it seems my data connection goes to sleep. As I receive emails from work periodically I can't really afford for the connections to go to sleep. The only way to get the data flowing again is to disable/enable wifi and that wakes everything up. Is there a way to keep the data awake all the time (I realize the effect on battery).
