[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
someone needs to check their facts... yes, samsung built it but it was built for the i777 specifically, Not another phone. And I'm sure AT&T had something to do with it considering their bloat was already on it. I'm sure it's also one of the builds they are testing.

You also have been telling people there is no real ICS, well what do you consider real ics? One that's officially pushed out by AT&T? the version with a UI overlay, and bloat? real ICS? haha Real ICS is AOSP IMO. Pure android, not crap the carriers push out.

It has only been about a week since source dropped but already the development on AOSP roms like cm9 and aokp is going well. There are a few bugs but nothing major (depending on your needs) I dont mind waiting for video capture to work on AOSP as I never use my video cam on my phone anyway. I do use netflix and crackle but not having them work at this moment is not enough reason not to use it. I'm actually really impressed how stable these roms are considering source dropped a week ago. A deal breaker for me is calls not working, buttons not working, wifi and gps not working.. everything else I could pretty much live with until it gets sorted out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
What I said was there's no real ICS for our phones, meaning what we have right now is someone elses cobbled together i9100 port of ICS, not an official AT$T release of ICS for the i777. A leak is not an official release, BTW.

This forum has suddenly exploded with posts of people having issues because they are in too big a hurry to try something that is still not quite ready and/or they do not know what they are doing. It is overwhelming the forum with ICS issues and we don't even have a true ICS version yet. There should be a single thread in Dev for each of these ported ROMs where early adopters can look for help instead of clogging up General and Q&A with all this BS. I think all the ICS threads confuse people into thinking there is an actual release instead of just these ported ROMs and makes them try something they shouldn't. Just sayin'.:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
No one is claiming that UCLC2 is official release of ICS but it certainly is not an i9100 port. It is an early build by Samsung specifically for i777 and leaked. Read.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smitty1:
Just putting this out there, the battery life off my ICS was initially horrible.

After resetting the phone I have 91% battery after 9hrs off charge, have not been doing a lot granted but that is still pretty damn good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
I think the main problem with the leak was that it included a boot loader and people that installed it lost root and cwm.

It wasn't until task and others cleaned it up and removed the boot loader that it really became more user friendly.

Personally I waited for the CM9 official nightlies for our model to start a few days ago before jumping on ICS. I really liked touchwiz until I tried CM7. Not sure if I would ever go back now to be honest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
As many of us Captivate owners learned, these 'leaks' are rarely more than just Samsung's way to get over-eager users to do much of their debugging for them. Gotta love the early adopters.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
I'm certainly very happy with the Captivate GB leak running on my phone back in Aug 2011. The official GB release didn't come until Feb 2012, long after I sold my Captivate. So, ultimately it is up to individuals to decide whether or not to install leaked ROMs. It's more benefits than hassles. I don't think we will see official release until the end of 2012 or even 2013. I don't think I will still be using my SGS2 after this summer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Apparently not judging from all the ICS help me threads.:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Actually, it has been rather quiet comparing to the crying help for bricked phones by flashing non-i777 ROMs. All they complain are not be able to root etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] $hawn:
AT&T SGH-I777 will not charge after unrooting and upgrading to latest stock firmware

I purchased the AT&T SGH-I777 Galaxy S2 used and it was rooted. Iwanted to remove the personal info so I restored it to factory settings.

When I did this the screen went dark. I was able to get phone in download mode and unroot it. the n I installed the latest firmware with odin3 v1.85.

Now when I plug a charger or USB cable into the phone while it is on I get RST_STAT = 0x20000000 and POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UP LOAD Mode. I am a newbie to andriod and this site so thanks in advance for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What version was that exactly, and where did you get it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] $hawn:
I777UCLL6 Stock 4.0.4 ICS

The version was I777UCLL6 Stock 4.0.4. I got it from Sammobile. I don't know what the phone had on it before the reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I assume that the phone is functioning normally, except for the charging issue?

I have never seen anyone post about error messages like yours. And, so I am only guessing when I say, it sounds like a hardware issue, either bad battery, battery terminal connection, bad charger, or more likely a bad usb port. But again, it is only a guess. Can you connect the phone to your pc and transfer files successfully?

Oh, and don't let the battery run all the way down. Find some external way to charge it first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] $hawn:
Phone works fine except for the charging issue

I cannot connect with pc except in download mode. I do have a battery and external charger on the way. I hope the battery is the problem. I will post latter in the week when they arrive. Thank you for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] $hawn:
SGH-i777 Charging issue fixed

Installed new Samsung battery and problem solved. Aftermarket battery would not charge with either usb cable or wall charger. Thank you creepyncrawly for the help.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Ok so I was reading that bootloader effort thread and _base2 had mentioned overclocking his RAZR I tried to link the post and it wasn't working well on the app...kept foreclosing so anyways...I made a script that activates the second core...the way I verified this is looking in system tuner with it running and with out...also without it shows as an ARM processor in antutu benchmark and a dual core with it. with the limits of our kernel its not going to let us multithread obviously if I am not mistaken

Razz1 was the original poster if this on rootzwiki for the razr

If you choose to make changes or try it and something bad happens its up to you and I can't be held responsible

Ok so to further clarify what im trying to say with this is....prior to using this the second core was not visible using cat proc /cpuinfo nor was it available to java according to quadrant or antutu...after it is available and shows in the cat

This is what I used when I built my script

chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

chmod 444 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
sir, im confused as to what this script does
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Ok so from what I could find and tell the second core was not being utilized on our phone correct? So what I was trying to do and from what I can see is enabling the second core...

And I am having trouble uploading it will paste what I made into a script...

chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

chmod 444 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
okay so what youre saying is that this script should use the other core efficiently, right?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Just looking for feedback if what I am seeing is correct because prior to doing this the second core was not visible at all and from what I see in system monitor its running at least
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
What I am saying is that this is the stock out put from cat /proc/cpuinfo before

I can't make any guarantee that it will be efficient lol....but all im trying to say is that it would appear that its working

Hopefully I am making sense in what im trying to explain
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
Nice! :) I need to give this a try.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Tell me what you see, improvement wise, or not...im just going by what I see right now and haven't done a lot to test or anything like that
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
Umm how do u implement this particular mod? For dummies lol.

Cyanogenmod
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
What I did is made a script in rom toolbox pro....under the scripter option mainly because script manager and I never got along great app just never worked well foe me....which ia probably user error...anyways if you copy the lines above and go to the scripter hit make new script paste it in and press on it select at boot and then you can just run it from there as well...you can enter it in the terminal but from my testing it that way you will lose it when you reboot so you would have to re enter it
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I had some time to try this out this morning.

I made a script called cpu1 with this in it:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "==================================="
echo "cpuinfo before:"
echo "==================================="
cat /proc/cpuinfo
echo ""
echo ""
echo "==================================="
echo "activate cpu1:"
echo "==================================="
chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
chmod 444 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo ""
echo ""
echo "==================================="
echo "cpuinfo after:"
echo "==================================="
cat /proc/cpuinfo
echo "==================================="

I put that script /mnt/sdcard/

Then ran it in a terminal in a terminal (i'm using eclipse and there is one built in):

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
# cd /mnt/sdcard
# pwd
/mnt/sdcard
# sh ./cpu1 > cpu1.txt
# cat /proc/cpuinfo

I have not done much with benchmarks so I just picked Antutu and ran one before and then after.

Take a look at the screenshots attached. The after looks slightly better but it also shows that I had more ram. So I don't know if it helped. Interesting stuff though. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Thank you for the thoroughness...I was actually going to post what I found which is very similar...I don't know but to me there does seem yo be some improvement in the smoothness of my ui as well as in the speed if loading games and some smoothness as they run...I have also noticed that I have had less force closes with different apps...of course there really ia no way to quantify those observations but it is what I have been seeing....I also notice that I get 3-5 fps enabled than I do not...while not a huge difference was just something I noticed
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
No problem there. You got me curious and I wanted to know too. I've not really used it too much after setting cpu1 on. I think I'll add this to /etc/init.d/ so it sets automatically on reboot and see how things go for a few days.

Hey if it feels better and doesn't hurt anything. I say leave it activated.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I agree
[Motorola Droid X2] HitMyKush:
I haven't done or used any scripts on my x2.. but I've had it for the past 7 months and have been doing a lot of flashing.. so anyway someone would be willing to put this in step by step format so that others can have dual core enables as well? :D

I can probably mess around with it and figure it out.. but I would rather follow a guide that ensures I'm doing it correctly.. anyway thanks for all the new dev stuff going on.. I feel brighter days for the x2.

[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
I would like to warn everyone that performing this mod WILL severely impact your battery usage. The Android operating system is designed to operate on ONE processor and turn the second one on on-demand. IF you choose to enable both processors, your phone will run better/fast/snappier, however, this will eat your battery. Just a warning.

You can monitor what is happening with the command:

htop

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Except it seems with this damn phone, that second processor never helps. With a phone with these specs you'd expect it to be able to run a live wallpaper smoothly or not chug to a halt when installing something while multitasking.
[Motorola Droid X2] RValentinF:
My data gets really slow after a while with this script on. I tried it twice in the same area, but I only got it to work normally after a reboot (the script is not on automatically).

[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Sounds like an unrelated issue. I fail to see how enabling a second core could disrupt cell service.

Though, I suppose anything is possible.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Mine has not been too bad but its something that I am currently evaluating
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
i cant find it O_0 all i see is airplane mode sound profiles reboot and power off
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
What rom are you using? In eclipse its right under airplane mode...not sure of cm7 has a sleep option or not...been a while since I ran it
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
and theres the reason right thur :) im on cm7
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yup

Not sure if there is a way to enable it on that ROM

Might be due to how 2ND init works but I dunno.

Definitely helps save battery when you use it tho instead of power off/on cuz it doesn't have to draw power to boot all the way, just come out of standby mode

One day I left it in sleep mode for almost right hours and lost only 2% lol
[Motorola Droid X2] tech.kyle:
I just SBF'd to 2.3.4 a few days ago and thought I'd give this a try. I was kind of surprised to see that cpu1 seemed to be enabled by default (as indicated by /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online. I disabled the second core and ran Antutu to see if I could match the "Before" benchmark score. I got somewhere around 2500. (~4500 with the second core forced on.)

It would seem that the second core DOES get used by default. I would assume that the only benefit this script would provide is in eliminating the lag to turn the second core on.

I think I'll keep the second core disabled provided the single core can keep up. (I don't see why not.)

Also, I don't see what all the fuss is. This script changes (overwrites, technically) the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online from a "0" to a "1". Nothing else. I'm surprised the kernel doesn't change it back on a whim.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
It does get used ...bit only after the first core is so bogged down that it is under heavy stress...I prefer it to be handling instructions at sally times...that is why the script was made and why I utilize it
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Not to wake a thread, but I'm curious... Anyone tried this on CM9?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I have of course...I have only ran it as a script though nothing was working init.d wise that I have tried and haven't had the time to even try to look into it so I just have ran it as a script
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Groovy. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I have a pretty good feeling that isn't right.........
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
That looks like the flash able zip you have there....in the post where the zip is download the one that is .sh.whatever extension. Remove the stuff following the sh so its filename.sh and it will run in script manager.
[Motorola Droid X2] ultravioletnanokitty:
I've put the line in my /init.rc, and now my phone is always snappier. Best of all, I don't have to deal with some script manager taking resources! I definitely recommend this.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Do not use this!

That's impossible as putting anything in the init.rc doesn't take affect until reboot and if you reboot the init.rc is overwritten.

I am once again saying that you shouldn't use this script at all. It is pointless and drains your battery. The *slight* (and I mean slight) amount of performance you gain out of it is worthless compared to the loss in battery life.

dragon out.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Yes the statement about init.rc is correct won't work...although you don't like when people sat negative things about your work and just tell them don't use it or do it themselves but you have no problem saying negative things about mine

Plenty of people like it and have used it with no or little extra battery drain and have no problem with it.

Why don't you just step off man we get it you don't like it blah blah blah you've made your opinion known so let it go already.

You don't like negative comments even when someone asks about something as simple as soft keys yet you have no problem criticizing others....funny how that works
[Motorola Droid X2] ultravioletnanokitty:
This nets me quite a performance gain, actually... You're right about init.rc though. I discovered that Script Manager was still running it automatically.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
All I can say is wow. You dislike him more everytime your phone reboots or freezes? If you don't like his rom don't use it. Just realize if it wasn't for him you would have no cm7/or cm9 on dx2. Also all dev's hate being asked for eta's.

If you think you can do better where is your rom? He has solid understanding of why this doesn't do much of anything short of placebo. I've run this script and noticed virtually no gain and a marked increase in battery drain. He is just advising people not to use it not bagging on you. Its people like the poster above that drive devs away with there whining and complaining. He's does this for free never forget that he owes none of us anything but he CHOOSES to share with us.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
My above post was directed at the poster above me. Not at Trafalgar except where I pointed out he wasn't bashing your script.

I'd like to point out that half of our future roms would be screwed if not for cm updates. Ever follow miui or eclipse changes? Notice how they all come along very shortly following a cm update?

(Here comes odd me) PLEASE for your sake refrain from grandiose statements when attacking. Forms high emotional imagery (thereby forming "points") and basic argumentation says no to non-fact discourse. Has a place but a tech forum full of techies ain't it.

As much as I hate these little shots certain people are taking I have to face facts and acknowledge great work; kudos to cm9 and all its ICS bugginess and go on Traflager for giving all a shot at an amazing device.

Please don't attack people. Find smoothness, snapyness in everything. Keep it clean cause I like this place.
[Motorola Droid X2] trevsl95:
I was just trying to say how this guy hates being asked about anything and would hate his work being put down when he says: I can't believe people are using this, it sucks about someone else's work. As t put it, its funny how no one can ask simple things and if you do you are responded to rudely but he comes in this thread and says this guys hard work is junk, it does nothing to help don't even bother.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
See. You did it.

Communicated your point nicely. Well...the connotation wasn't but it was neat and got to the point.

Now Dragon - I know you'll see this at some point in time; please follow suit. Make me happy and stuff ya know?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Cm has npthing to do with eclipse except for a couple cherry picks on nexus its aosp base not cm base. On x2 cm has nothing to do with eclipse its blur based.

From what i can tell miui doesnt use any cm at all. Pretty sure bout that.

Keep your chin up as they have a second core script on my evo as well not that i use it but it must do something lol

rockin my EVO 4G LTE
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
Seems to me that most anyone I've ever been involved with that accomplishes something special is passionate about what they do. Likewise it seems to me that we have a couple of folks here that are passionate about what they do that just happen to passionately disagree. I just wish the disagreement were less personal and more professional.

As for what has been said I can only speak to a few things...

The idea put forward that dragon in some way takes offense to any claim by someone that their tweak or mod improves his work...that is just not so. Just look at what has happened since alpha4 dropped. Many, including myself, have had serious stability problems that were fixed by using the mashup mod. Did dragon rail against this, no, just the opposite, he has recommended the modification and even stated he will likely include it in alpha5. And as I recall his attitude regarding v6 supercharger is pretty much the same.

As for the 2nd core Mod, I've tried it on 2.3.4 Stock rooted & cm7. In both cases it did improve performance, particularly when gaming, but it also took a toll on my battery performance such that I chose not to use it. I'm pretty sure if you check you'll find that i thanked trafalger for his efforts and will thank him again here.

I want all the dev’s and mod’ers to continue supporting our x2 and i want our community to live up to its reputation as "the best & friendliest" on XDA.

And that pretty much is my 2 cents worth.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I have no problem if people don't use it and if like you state their opinion...its the nature of the way he has stated his opinion jot only here but in numerous threads and on twitter if everyone recalls in spite of the disagreement I have congratulated him on bringing ICS to this phone. Yet no matter what someone tried the script and said that it helped them and yet again he feels the need to discredit this work here and on twitter and that is uncalled for in my opinion
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I am glad its working well for you
[Motorola Droid X2] Gblake13:
Paranoid android, aokp, and the newest miui are all cm9 based. At least the x2 versions. But yeah eclipse is blur based and unrelated to cm.
