Sadly, I am moving my phone back to KH7. Both this ROM and Stock Roooted UCLE5 have a problem for me that I can't live with. and yes I have tried the data wipe solutions.

I need my phone to work reliably with my headset (Plantronics Voyager Pro HD). I would make a call, or recieve a call, and finish. The phone would still show bluetooth connected. the headset would never indicate a disconnect, yet when I try to call out, or recieve the next call, the headset wouldn't work. Sometimes, even if it's just time passing, the two seem to half forget about each other and just stop working together.

Yes, there are some people that use these things as telephones.

Stock KH7 Rooted with Entropy's Last Daily Driver for GB. I'll debloat it with Tibu.

Had the same problem. Restart and redoing the settings and then restarted again to fix the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
No use, I've tried many ROMs and found all of them are OK with the screen lock except this. Tried kernel clearing script too:silly: Once I came back from those ROMs screen lock stopped functioning again.

I guess OP could shed some light on this.

OP:

I tried a few ROMs and finally came back to here as its almost stock with some tweaks with very less issues. Thanks for sharing this work with us.

Few queries:

Is it possible to mute the camera shutter sound?

Screen gets on intermittently and goes off after the time out. No notification at that time to awake the screen.

Any themes to recommend?

Is there any specific reason for not including a file manager as system app? Its is more convenient to have a FM to install the Titanium from the SD and start restoring once the flashing is over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GigDroid:
Oh if you are switching roms, try factory reset, dalvik, etc. Then NOT using titanium backup, make your setting change, restart, verify setting. That's what worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
How can I forget that,I don't want to see any FCs, and that's a rule of thumb in flashing ROMS right? U forgot the system cache part and the batt status for switching between kernels. Some ROMs may have built in wipe for this but as a practice I do these before a ROM flash.

I use Titanium for restoring the apps within the same ROM base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GigDroid:
If you do factory reset, it also clears cache partition. Battery clear doesn't matter for anything but metrics but won't hurt either way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bubuty:
i love this rom. this actually fit my needs. i love the default contacts and email. some roms uses different version that disable video call and exchange capabilities.

anyway i only noticed this one issue, charging the phone (thru any usb or ac charger) takes years to complete. battery percentage remains the same even hours of charging. just to solve the issue i have to reconnect the charger twice then it will charge normally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ken1939:
You might check your cables and look for loose debris in the plugs. I have used this ROM since next day after availability and have never experienced a charging problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bubuty:
So how long do it take to charge the phone completely?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ken1939:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bubuty:
I also charged the phone 6-8 hrs to reach 100%. Just the same with my tab 7 plus.

Im expecting the s2 can be charged quickly due to smaller battery capacity,.. right..

I'm using AJ kernel, just wondering how to change battery icon with percentage. If using siyah kernel will do the trick?

sent from sgh-i777 using tapatalk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Flashing a different kernel will not enable battery %.

You'd need to reinstall Semi (using the upgrade option is fine, no wipe is needed) and choose the blue % battery instead of the stock green battery.

Siyah has the potential to get slightly faster charges, but you'd need to make that change using ExTweaks is Siyah is installed.

BTW...Here is a more recent Siyah kernel that I compiled to work with Semi (no mic swap). It will also work with any possible future release of JB from AT&T/Samsung for our device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
Still on this rom because, simple and stock. Also TW Launcher is my personal favorite since it is our Sammies' natural one. My ooooonly little gripe is that deleting accuweather and some other useless system apps seems to mess with the ability to get into the usb settings area under settings, but other than that, this thing runs really nicely.

I just upgraded mine with blue percentage and happy with it now. I can uninstall battery widget.

What options do i need to check in extweaks for faster charging. Cant find extweaks in my apps so i guess it is only accessible thru recovery?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Use the kernel I posted about 2 posts above.

ExTweaks is a free app in the Play Store that allows you to configure some kernel settings. 1 of those options is the charging current - i think it was in the Misc tab but I can't remember to be sure.

Here is another compile of the Siyah kernel v4.1.2 with mic swapping enabled.

If for some reason this 1 doesn't work, then something has changed in the sound driver and I will need to track those changes down. There are a LOT of changes in update 7 so it may take a good bit of looking around.

Please let me know if this second version works - and if not i'll TRY to get right on tracking down the remaining issue(s) (assuming I am having a "good" health day/week)).

Help: Few issues:

Hi AJ,

Thanks for sharing the modified Siyah 4.XX kernel update, appreciate ur efforts for maintaining the ROM updated with the latest kernel patches:good:

Can't wait more for the V17:fingers-crossed: when are u going to upload it?

I have few issues with Semi from the day one and I have already posted here but some how it seems u have'nt noticed it.

1. No screen lock with Semi 1.6 atleast for me. Haven't came across with anyother users have reported this so far, so I guess its something wrong with my side. I've tried other ROMs here and all of them are ok with the screen lock, but being a big fan of stock ROMs I quickly reverted back to ur ROM after a day or two. This is my daily ROM. When ever I flash this ROM back, screen lock doesn't work, can you guide me if am missing any of the steps? Usually if its from the same base, just system cache, dalvik & battery status and if its from different base, I would do a full wipe. I've re flashed the Semi not less than 5 times even with full wipe its not working.

2. Recently I came back from CM10 and then onwards my screen gets on intermittently for one minute even though I set the time out for 15 secs. I tried to switch it off by pressing the PWR button but after a sec it will turn on again and after some time it goes off.

Do I need a fresh & clean installation of full stock ROM and then back Semi to get it working properly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Whenever I flash anything new, no matter if its same base or different,I always wipe everything. I do this in order to ensure that any problems are not on my end or a result of data being left over from another ROM or kernel. Just good practice, and helps diagnose problems faster. Good luck, happy flashing.

I was getting awesome battery life before, but I hate to switch back to stock if I can fix this.

Interesting. Is this somehow new or is it related to Semi or my setup? I wasn't having problems before, but given that Semi is based on stock, it seems like it shouldn't be the problem... at least not directly. I read in another thread that it can be triggered by the setting to allow Google to use location and search data. What do I lose by turning that off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pmac25:
Google will not know where you and can can not use that info to bring you more "Local" Info in your searches and such.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Just automatic location finding. So for example, if you opened Maps to use it, you'd have to manually turn location back on for it to be of any use. Or, for any location finding app (like Flixster, restaurant finding apps, etc.). Any rom would experience this issue if you have location enabled; it seems to be sporadic (worse some days than others), which would explain why you didn't see the issue before.

I have an idea; you can disable location by default and use a Tasker profile to enable it when X app loads. I don't see the function in Tasker natively, but it'd work with Secure Settings. Unfortunately, it won't be able to toggle it automatically, but the prompt will appear for you so you wouldn't have to go through the settings yourself. I think I may consider doing this but I use Fancy Widgets, which updates my location as a background service. So to use that idea, I'd have to set my location manually and live without wanted background location finding.

He didn't ask how to turn it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I'm still not sure why this would have changed with Semi versus stock that I was running. I *was* running Siyah with stock on top, so it wasn't due to the change in kernel (unless the later version of Siyah is related, but doesn't seem likely). While I can make these changes, I'm feeling like something else must be going on since it was never necessary before.

Correct. I do know my way around. However, the way one thing can cause another is more about others experiences. Although it is painful, does anyone believe that a scratch install would make a difference in this case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
The only thing that comes to mind is an app that was installed. I've seen apps that have location services within them and refresh rates enabled by default. So a scratch install could make a difference. Upon every install, check an app's settings and disable what you don't want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I finally gave in and did a fresh install. I'm slowly adding back applications related to locations to see if anything obvious pops up. So far, it seems to be behaving better.
