Im using it, for its the most stable rom, with a very good battery life, I just never knew a way to make usb mounting to work, but thats a problem with all kind of roms i guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chvybeatsford:
Im still running this rom. Runs good. Glad u added some samsung stuff back. All i needed wss the keyboard.

But a have a few issues with it. Samsung keyboard.

1.X9 predict dosnt work.

2.If u hit the back more than once it deletes the hole word or more.

Ive tried all the settings and no go. Dont know if this is anything u can fix.

Thanks for rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Gtalk is in 1.4.6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I probably forgot to re-add the files for the samsung keyboard, i will try to get an update out when i have time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chvybeatsford:
Thanks..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mad Max 63:
Back to Unoriginal. Seems like the ICS Roms are a little buggy. I also noticed I haven't had an SOD since I stop using go launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Another thing that bothers me is the ICS apps/UI. I just can't wrap my head around why everything changed, and for the worse.

No contacts in dialer

ICS keyboard seems to be worse than GB keyboard for accuracy and correction.

Browser is horrible for most sites compared to GB.

Settings is all f'ed up, nothing is where it should be.

Many small annoyances, like the lockscreen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
I miss UnOriginal at times. But I love the AOSP apps. At this point there are 50/50 chances that I might switch back to UnOriginal.

The TW based ICS has that problem. I love the AOSP ICS dialer + People app (contacts + Whatsapp + G+ + Facebook + .. integration. No more crappy profile pics. Contacts pics get auto updated from G+/FB). The AOSP stock dialer is so good that I uninstalled DW Contacts and ExDialer.

Can't comment. I used Swype on GB, but have switched to SwiftKey 3.0 Beta now on ICS. Imagine.. not having to type space manual, ever. :)

I use Dolphin HD since GB. So not an issue for me.

I think the settings are better. You don't even need to get used to it, its arrangement is natural and after few hours of using, you will feel "Why didn't Google do this earlier?"

It's an annoyance, but I don't mind it because it's not a functional bug. I get to see lockscreen for even lesser time because in AOKP, I can delay the screen lock (even after I manually put it to sleep by pressing the power button).

Others pluses of AOSP/AOKP ICS over GB:

- AOSP Gmail, GVoice, Maps, People, Dialer, GTalk apps

- OS supported lockscreen media controls (works with G Music, PowerAmp, stock music app and couple of other major media players)

- ROM Control app (I think that's an AOKP feature).

- Ability to block certain apps from using cell data in background.

Others minuses of AOSP/AOKP ICS over GB:

- Issues turning Wi-Fi on/off at home (ICS issues with DIR-655?).. saw this issue in both SHOstock2 (TW based ICS) and Task's AOKP ICS. At times, the WiFi control freezes.

- int/ext SD gets mounted in MTP mode instead of as USB drives. Very sluggish file transfer rate over MTP. I miss the quick file transfers in GB!

- Battery life sucks!! Gives around 8hrs of battery life for me with 3hrs screen on time.

That's the main stuff that comes to my mind right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Some really good points you made there. I don't really use apps, but I guess you can fix most of the things in ICS with apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I feel the opposite in every aspect of hate you speak of about ics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
That's probably why I'm thinking of going back to windows phone. Lumia 900 is really tempting...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I'm not a fan of WP at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
I've run into an interesting bug. Every once in a while I get the little sync icon showing up. When I look at running services, I can see that Gallery is running a service called picasasyncservice, or something like that. I don't have my Google accounts set to sync at all. Is there some way I can prevent this from from running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
Oh, no! I'd hate to see you go, Ryude.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
xda needs a 'dislike' button!

Was surprised to see this when I came back here after restoring to UnOriginal 1.4.4.

I'm updating it to 1.4.6 now.

That post I wrote made me think again and jump back to UnOriginal :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Why does everyone hate WP7? I guess I like it because I don't use apps, but if I did then I would not like it at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
It's an iPhone. I loved Windows Mobile in the past, but WP7 is a fail in my opinion. They locked it down, the ecosystem is still developing (slowly), and the UI customization options are extremely limited. I really wanted to get back on board, but after a day of owning the Samsung Focus (loved the device, hated the OS), I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. However, if I was one to only need my device for calls, texts, emails, then it'd be great. I need much more than that though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Meh, customization is over-rated to me. I was big into customizing when I was 15-18 years old. I'm over it now. Android is ok, but it still needs a lot of improvements that I don't see happening ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I just got tired of looking at the same thing and only being able to change the color (tiles). However, my preference for Android over WP7 goes beyond just customization.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I never changed the color of the tiles, I just kept it on black bg and blue tiles. Never got bored of it, the tiles animate and some of them are different colors just because of what app it is (ie: netflix is red). I liked how fast and smooth it was, it never crashed, battery life was good. That's not to say it's perfect, I realize it is a distant 3rd place and that is why I left windows phone to come back to android. I am waiting on Apollo, as there are rumors that it will use the same kernel as windows 8.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
True.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
IDK, WP just seemed to be a dumbed down version of iOS (is that even possible?) and I didnt like it. I also dont like how 20% of the screen is never used on the home screens and only goes "full screen" when in an app. Complete waste IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I could live with a feature phone as long as it had threaded text messages, gmail, and semi-decent browser. I really don't need a smartphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Im too much of a geek to not have a smartphone. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I spend more time modifying **** than I do actually using it as a smartphone. That's kind of sad...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
That's the fun of using this phone, in addition to the regular smartphone stuff, that we CAN modify it :)

I believe almost everyone on this forum is in the same boat.

Sent from myphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dirtyballoonot:
I owned a Focus when it came out. I liked it much better than iOS. It was limited though, and there were many apps that will never make it. Like downloading MP3s. It was far more refined then Android but limited options that I've gotten used to with Android. I could go about 3 days with the battery. I can barely get 12 hours with the SGS2

Ryude. I'm not sure how much battery life you saved by stripping SNS, but it makes syncing a little buggy, even with the apps installed. I tried restoring SNS with tibu, but it still didn't work quite right
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] marv_in_lbc:
Windows Phone 7 is actually pretty good. I used to own a Samsung Focus. The two reasons why I didn't keep it: 1) I bought it used from an auction site and the actual phone portion, making a call, didn't work. 2) I was already used to Android.

Number 2, IMO, seems to be the biggest problem to overcome for people on Android. I do like to customize my phone as well as use it as a phone :). Also, the apps were not up to snuff yet--especially those that integrate with Google services: Google Talk, Voice, etc. and the apps they (WP7) had just weren't up to snufff the Google apps are for Android. If, IMO, development of WP7 had been started at the time Android was, then it would have been a much closer race... my opinion obviously.

Seeing some of the ICS comments too... I'm now using the AOKP ICS (but have UnOriginal 1.4.2 saved as a nandroid--just in case ;) I loved this rom too much just to let it die in the ether). Just yesterday, running the battery until 0--until the phone shut off--I got 17 hours with over 3.5 hours of screen on time and about an hour of talk time. Yeah, no pics to back that up, but it did happen (I don't know if there's a screen capture setting yet). But I have been used to ICS from my Transformer Prime, so there were no real surprises waiting for me in the AOKP rom.

Good to know you're still pushing on ryude.

Go Air Force
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
That's a pretty awesome battery life for AOKP. Mine crapped out in about 8 hrs with 3hrs of screen on time.

I have switched back to UnOriginal for now.

On ICS, you take a screenshot by holding vol-down and power button simultaneously for about a second.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] marv_in_lbc:
Well, I'm using the 4-3 rom with the CM kernel and SetCPU max 1000, min 200, conservative gov.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Sns drains battery pretty bad, honestly I didn't think anyone actually used it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
When you connect it to PC via usb, does it do the stupid-azz MPT device or the standard mass storage option? This is annoying the hell out of me in unnamed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Mine doesn't do either, I have to manually drop down the notifications and select USB storage and enable USB transfer. Then I go to "My Computer" and you should see your phone's SD and USB storage as removable drives.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Hey Ryude,

While playing with AOKP, I discovered a cool feature in its ROM Control.

When the screen is off, long pressing the power button turns on the flash light (as long as it is still pressed). Releasing the power button turns the flash light off.

Do you think this can be implemented in UnOriginal by reverse engineering AOKP ROM Control?

I think that would mean jumping into smali hell, but I thought I should mention this cool feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
Could the light turn on in pocket and wear down the battery? Not sure I like that idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
We already have the flashlight with Quick Panel Settings, it seems like unnecessary work for a novelty feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
It's difficult to keep the power button pressed down in pocket. The flash light with turn off as soon as the power button is released.

I've used that quick flashlight feature a lot and found it handy. With the option in Quick Panel, one would need to wakeup the screen, unlock the phone, drag down the notification bar and then tap on the flashlight icon.

With the power button flashlight mod, you just long-press the power button when the screen is off and there will be light.

It's not a biggie though, I use Widget Locker for flash light: Wake up the screen, slide left to turn on flashlight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] In3rDm0RetHeNu:
Dl link not working. -__-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chvybeatsford:
I Duno if this is a normal bug or not.. I know there was the bug where u didn't have to enter pass code or unlock method.

This one different. I set my pattern. Thought all was good cause I know the pattern so never missed the pattern. Well just now I noticed I missed it and it unlocked.. my pattern was a 7 but any pattern will unlock it. I could just slide 3 across and still unlock.

U can actually just touch one circle and still unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Weird bug...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Disable it and re enable it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
Good bye UnOriginal

UnNamed and then UnOriginal ROMs worked very nicely for me. I made the decision to leave Gingerbread and try Ice Cream Sandwich. I didn't leave because of any problems, I just wanted to see how ICS worked. I am here to say good bye and let you know that Task's AOKP ROM is very smooth and working quite well. It is too early for me to tell how the battery life will be but so far it is great. Thanks for your hard work, Ryude - I enjoyed my time here with UnOriginal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dirtyballoonot:
Well, primary example would be syncing from the contacts screen. Other contact syncing with FB, Twitter, etc. The apps don't integrate with the system as seamlessly as SNS.

"View SNS contacts" from Contacts screen doesn't work.

Just a few minor things...No biggie

Last thing, and I've noticed this with ALL custom ROM's, but, the default behavior on the stock ROM when you recieve a text, or email is vibration. In custom ROMs, especially on BT or speaker your notification will blast through where both parties can hear it. The only way to avoid this is by using the quick panel and changing to silent during a call. Would be nice to have stock behavior as I've been on a phone interview and had my notifications that may or may not be appropriate blast through my phone...HAHA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apollokid:
Having an issue with Bln and SMS. Bln works for everything else (missed calls, vm, Google voice, etc) but not text messages. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
There's a services jar edit that needs to be done for stock texts to activate BLN. Or, you can use a third party messaging app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
It's a well known issue. Fortunately, however, there is a workaround that works well for me. Buy Tasker ($6.50, but worth it), and create the following profiles:

Profil: Received SMS
Event: Received SMS
Task:	A1: BLN - LED-Trigger [ configuration:LED = enabled] If [ %PENABLED !~ *BLN Sms Off* ]
A2: Profil Status [ Name:BLN Sms Off set:On]

Profil: BLN Sms Off
App: Messages
Task:	A1: BLN - LED-Trigger [ Configuration:LED = disabled]
A2: Profil Status [ Name:BLN Sms Off set:Off]

These will make the BLN notification trigger when you get a text and stop when you open the Messages app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Is this rom still being updated?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
No, I stopped updating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
Tried ShoStock.... went running back to this rom :D

I did borrow the pulldown toggle customizing app/mod and that made this rom even better. No lockscreen is quite nice in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mad Max 63:
I tried some of the other ICS roms and I don't think I'm ready to make the jump with all the issues I've had. This Rom is the only Rom I've put on my phone that hasn't crashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apollokid:
Can't get this to work. It triggers the bln after I read the message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Check and recheck your profiles, tasks, and actions at every level. It sounds like you may have LED-trigger configurations reversed...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apollokid:
Spent all night playing with it. It won't trigger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
what current rom are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
It looks like you have the profiles set up correctly. What rom are you running? When I set up those profiles I was on a GB rom, UnOriginal in fact. I have since moved to ICS, and I haven't tried using them again. If I get time tonight, I'll see if I can make them work on my new setup...maybe it's just an ICS/Tasker problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apollokid:
Yeah I'm using unoriginal. Would appreciate it. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Well if you're on UnOriginal, it should work...maybe a dumb question, but you have set up the liblights and everything, right? BLN does work for other applications?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apollokid:
Yep. Bln works for email, calls, even Google voice. Just not text messages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
I really done know dude, I'm at a loss. Here's the thread I got those profiles from; maybe I missed something in my explanation.

My only other thought is that maybe Tasker has to be enabled as a Device Administrator? Have you done that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apollokid:
I did. I'll just use this as an excuse to go to ICS. I'm going to try out SHOStock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Ok. Sorry I couldn't help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I never added touchwiz messaging bln support, mostly because I didn't want to mess with the services.jar after all the other crap i did to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Doh! Well im missing out then. Currently using the services jar from unnamed 1.3.1

That and I had to enable crt thru books.XML due to the change.

Any chance you could work some magic and release a version with all your goodies plus bln for SMS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Unless there is a critical issue that needs fixing, I don't plan on updating this any further. I still use 1.4.6 to this day and it does everything I want exceptionally. I keep trying ICS roms, but they just aren't for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Roger. I'm with ya, the ics roms are just..... clunky. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
How come you didn't upgrade this to 2.3.6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylercarter:
prob cause kk6 had some nasty bugs in it.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
This! KK6 broke a lot of things. Battery life is worse/wifi problems/etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Can I use the LC5 modem with this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sjwaste:
I agree. This is still the best ROM for this phone (for me). A2DP is completely broken on ICS with my head unit, AOSP, Samsung, doesn't matter. GB builds worked flawlessly. It's a feature I don't want to give up given my long commute.

This was the best GB ROM so I'm sticking with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Yea it works, gives good signal for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
This is, by far, the smoothest ROM I've ever used.

However, I'm unsure if I'll keep it. I really miss ICS features - like voice to text enchanted, great multi-tasking, better interface, etc. The speed on this ROM is just phenomenal. Think you can make ICS this fast?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
A2DP is not broken.... I use it all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Which ICS Rom are you running now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
AOKP. Not near as fast as this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Have you given SHOstock2 a try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Actually, I have, and it's not as fast. Getting tired of ICS-like launcher and theme anyways. At first ICS themes and launchers were the boss, but now they're "meh" to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sjwaste:
It's broken with respect to how it works with my head unit - specifically the nav unit in the '11 Outback. Broken in all ICS ROMs (That I've tried, most bases, most kernels), works in all GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I've spent an entire week on ShoStock 2, in order for me to get a handle on it.

First thing: It's still not stable. I get random freezes, sometimes the power button doesn't respond unless I press home key, touch sensitivity is wonky, scrolling kind of keeps scrolling after you stop, etc.

Second thing: I like the little touches shoman has added, the features really do come in handy and I can't wait until it's as stable and smooth as GB.

With those thoughts out the way, I can't use ICS yet. This is why I'll always have nandroids of unoriginal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] selw0nk:
Same thing happened to me when it would freeze and my screen turned black. I keep switching roms and deciding if I like ICS or GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I was doing that for a while. GB > ICS. It has enough new features that makes me prefer it but it's just not ready.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Hey guys, I too have the latest Nandroid of UnOriginal as a fallback option. I was just about to switch back to UnOriginal today because I was getting at least one freeze/SoD on SHOstock2 2.2.6 (with CherryPicker v1.1, no uv/uc). But before doing that, I decided to take the plunge and do complete wipe and give SHOstock2 a second try. I know this is a heavily repeated advise and it worked (for the first time for me). SHOstock2 feels overall a lot smoother and stable than it was before the complete wipe. I can update you guys in a couple of days on whether or not I see any more SoDs. One big change I noticed was that earlier SHOstock did kind of a Hot Boot once it reached the lock screen after a reboot/boot up. It not doing that any more. I am optimistic that the SoD issue would also have gone away.

Thanks Ryude! I am going to jump from 1.3.6 to 1.3.8 this weekend :D

I am slow in flashing updates because I test each ROM for stability. I would say that DD 03/07 is going great for me on 1.3.6.. zilch problems

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
If you want to test the new crt on/off animations for me, I can upload the services.jar. I've never tested it though, so you need to make a nandroid or at least have a rom to flash if you suffer bootloops.

Thanks, I will send it off to tylercarter seeing as he needs it a lot more than me.
