Hey aj been using your kernel and I frequently got lockups and I decided to check the GPU tab and it seems that when you reset to default, the steps are lower than the stock default listed above and they also don't have the exact same steps. Any reason why?

First Off, Thank You AJ Newkirk for all the effort you have put in on this ROM. I don't think I want to change away from it.

With that in mind, I want to report various that happen while I am using my phone. I am also curious if anyone else has any similar issues.

Normal usage as a phone, with a Plantronics Voyagers Pro HD Bluetooth headset connected.

The phone indicates it's connected, the headset thinks it's connected. A call comes in, the phone rings, the headset doesn't, and when I try to answer, the headset just won't work.The regular microphone and speaker work, as well as speakerphone mode.

Hopefully, the call is short, because the phone is likely to restart by itself.

If the phone does reboot by itself, or I do the restart myself, the battery will usually be at 15% or less, even when the battery had a charge that I know was greater than 50%. I think i remember once it even being close to 85%

Another thing that happens occasionally, and more often now, is this:

I have the phone paired to both the headset and my car - handsfree. Even with the headset connected, the phone will disconnect from the headset, and connect with the car. Sometimes, that OK, but most of the time, I'd rather it stay conneccted to the headset.

This never used to happen at all.

I know there have been issues with Bluetooth drivers and the Siyah kernel.

For my most recent ROM Flash, I did the following.

Phone was SEMI 18, with 5.0.1 Siyah Kernel

I backed up via TiBu.

I backup up to a computer.

I performed Wipe data / factory reset.

I Wiped Cache, and Dalvik Cache

Rebooted into recovery

Loaded ROM with full wipe.

Kernel 3.3.3d

UCLE5 modem

SEMI version without ATT Bloat

I believe I've set EXTweats to moderate levels, for example I set it for 7 steps removing the highes and lowest.

I did restore some data with TiBU and some of the Google Play apps.

Does anyone feel that wiping out the bluetooth pairing, and repairing any required devices from scratch would help?

Possibly clearing BT data via Tibu, or whatever other tool?

I noticed a 2.46mb file crash.txt file that might have been created around one of these events.

It seems to be a system log of some sort for about an hour before up to the time of the restart.

Again, thank you very much for you efforts.

Aj can only do so much when Samsung released such a crap base.

But the good news is that JB seems to made right. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I do not get that on Siyah 5.0.1 with any ROM, and believe me I have tried almost all of them.

I am glad to hear that you are enjoying Semi.

I highly recommend that you stick with kernel v3.3.3d - the best kernel so far for the i777. Also,try re-pairing the BT devices.

The JB base looks very promising! Especially the "Sammy Bean" Stock v1 (with the buttons fixed of course). I very much like ROMs that keep the stock appearance & functionality. For myself, and to many others I am sure, no ROM comes close to being what UnNamed ICS would/should have been.

I will not be participating in it myself. I do not plan on posting in these forums anymore except for the folks still using Semi and looking for help. I'm not leaving, but I will not be releasing anything else for the i777.

Most of our fellow enthusiasts are GREAT people who just like have fun with their phone. Unfortunately there are others who are just plain hypocritical a$$holes who like to tell people about the rules but do not follow those same rules themselves sometimes. Some of them don't even say thanks when you tell them how to fix a major issue with their ROM that plagued them for like...a long while. Let them swim around in their small (and shrinking) pond, thinking they are the big fish. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, the truly big fish (gtg465x - moved to Windows phone, Entropy512 - is moving to Sony Experia platform, etc) are already gone from the i777 scene.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
That's a shame to hear, AJ. You are one of the few people still working on our device whose work I trusted without a lot of trepidation. But that said, I can understand your (and the others) reasoning for looking at greener pastures. When it stops being enjoyable, it isn't worth the time and work. Thank you for your many contributions to the development of this phone. I hope you find another community that you can enjoy working with again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
As the cycle goes, most of any phones devs get sick of the bull and move on. Seems to be a tradition these days. :thumbdown:

Your work is amazing and the i777 community has greatly benefited from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jeboo:
Sorry to see you go, the i777 user/contributor base is thinning with each passing week. I'm not sure about all that aforementioned drama, but I can comment on what I have seen. You provided a great service by providing an i777 port of Siyah, but never provided a true github with your customizations. That is not in the spirit of open-src development.

Then you created quite a mess in a certain ROM thread (and the i777 forum in general) by blatantly signing and repackaging my kernel (w/o thanking philz/entropy512 either). I appreciated you making the "market bug" fix available (which btw was a simple 1-line command), but you simply posted a binary with no credit nor details. And then you gladly accepted donations for "your" work. That is not in the spirit of open-src development.

So while you have provided a worthwhile ROM/kernel for the i777, I do not think your practices are to be commended. Entropy/gtg are well-respected developers with extensive publications of their work. We should all aim for the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
As far as I know per a conversation with AJ via pm he didnt even want to work with the leak. So in fixing the market issue he was just helping out the community. He wasnt excepting donations for fixing the kernel. He was just helping out. Period. I am not trying to say your kernel isnt great for us either and I appreciate your work as well.

And the whole issue in the past with the kernel sources was mainly a pissing match. I undersdand that sources have to be posted and he did so. The issue was that someone complained about him not putting up the sources even though others hadnt put up their sources as well. It seemed at the time the complaints were one-sided against him. But this is how it is around this place at times. It would be SO MUCH BETTER around here if all the talented devs and kernel devs just worked together. It has given us end users so much more to choose from that works best for our phones. As we all know not all phones work the same, so one kernel may work great for most but not for some. So having other options is way better for us as a community. I really hope AJ continues with his work for the i777 as we are getting thinner and thinner as time goes on. He has moved to another device as his primary phone, so when he helps out it is just because his spirit to help out has been great. So its a shame that these kind of pissing matches and *****ing runs off the devs so often. Some have even left xda due to the issues. So in the words of you know who... Why can't We ALL Get Along....

Jeboo may be right about the open source and all, I don't get into that stuff. But Aj is the friendliest and most helpful guy here. So he may have broke a rule or two. Not a big deal to most of us. The fact he bends over backwards to help and is NICE while doing it means so much more. There are several roms I've tried and liked but refuse to run because of the prick developer and his ass kissing followers. Aj, you will be missed. The only good thing is you have developed a great rom and kernel for many a happy i777 user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
No offense Jeboo but prick moves like that drive off those that can help better end use experience.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
Back to the task at hand... I have a question about something in the ROM. I'm on Semi with Siyah 3.3.3d. During the day I often turn my data signal off since I have next to no signal at work. I leave the phone signal on and still use wifi. When I left work today I switched my data signal on on my walk to the car. When I got to the car I noticed that the Device Management icon (red/white diagonal arrows) was on in the notification bar at the top of the screen. The last time I saw that was back in the old stock update to KK6 last year.

Any ideas why this would come to life now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Odd, I've only seen that triggered manually.

Are you toggling background data or turning off data entirely?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
My data is turned off entirely and my background data is off also all the time (i use a homescreen sync toggle when I want to sync my email, calendar, conacts, etc.) I've done it like this forever but just today saw this Device Manager come on.

Awe man its rockratts mod. He killed the 6 signal bar... boo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
The Semi version isn't meant to be a ROM really. It's just something I slapped together relatively quickly to see what could be done with "off the shelf parts" that I could find easily.

A ROM guy should be able to take this release and make a damned good ROM with it.

I am not crazy about the battery icon so I will be redoing my phone again once I get home this afternoon.

Also...I really like TouchWiz UX, but the widget problem is a bit of a bother to me. So I will either find time to research that or just go back to the US version of TouchWiz.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] krips2003:
I found another bug with this so called at&t official release. If you set the wifi sleep policy to either turn off when screen off or never when charge... And then if you let your phone idle for sometime them the wifi will not connect. At least I let it sit there for a minute or so 3 or 4 times and it failed to connect to wifi. Seems like at&t released a half baked their version of ICS to general people. First wallpaper resize issue, and now wifi sleep policy issue. Going back to AOKP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Forgive me here but isn't that a kernel specific issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
That is indeed a kernel related issue.

Half baked? Not hardly. This ICS release doesn't have nearly the number of bugs that I experienced the last time I used AOKP or CM9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I used to use the UOT kitchen back in my Captivate days to change things like the battery and signal bars and notification bar icons. I have never tried it for the i777 though. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but if you try it make sure you read the instructions carefully. Seems like I read a while back something with this phone and using that, but I can't quite remember it since I never tried it.

Maybe someone else here could chime in about this site being used with our phones.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Sorry for the late response, I just found this today.

The donation you mention that I accepted was from a long time user of my ROM. Not from someone who had just stumbled upon a kernel...

I made no customizations to Siyah (none that were released publicly at least), and I repeatedly made it clear that it was simply a port - and I also made it clear what was done to make it a port (i.e. the exact changes that were made). That satisfies any and all requirements of the GPL. Not to mention GM had no issue with it, nor did Entropy512 when I included a no-mic-swap kernel from his sources and detailed the change made... in fact he encouraged me to post it so that people would not use the stock brick-making kernel when UCLE5 was released. I had also made it clear that I was in the process of making a Github for the kernel anyway....but I guess that was somehow overlooked.

As for the modded JB kernel - I simply posted it as a version that doesn't break market installs. It was meant to be helpful, not a source of bickering. I did not claim to create the kernel....Samsung created it ...

Your statement that my work "is not in the spirit of open-src development" is both disrespectful and untrue. Open source does not begin nor end with Github.... my changes to GM's source , and to Entropy512's source, were detailed....

I honestly have no urge to have an ongoing argument with you. If that is going to be the case however, it will not be in this thread.

Peace and good luck with your endeavors.

I would like to say THANK YOU to the many people who posted and/or PM'd me to express their support and their thoughts on this matter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
That's great! I am sure it will be fantastic. The best part is that he is re-using his "old" 5.0.1 codebase and updating that with the current leak sources....so the bugs that currently plague 5.0.1 can easily be fixed when someone ports it to the i777.

I already have a custom kernel on my i777, tho it does not allow for undervolting or overclocking - and since I do not use those things I will not be adding them.

So far all I have done is:

Added more governors

Added more schedulers

MMC brick code removed (yes, it is still on the latest Samsung kernel source)

Fixed a WiFi bug that prevents deep sleep at times

Now I am on the hunt to see if I can find any kernel wakelocks.

I *think* that I am getting an N4 for Christmas :D so this may take a back seat for a while as I start working on some things for the N4.

But with GM releasing a new JB kernel which can easily be ported to the i777, and with Entropy planning on releasing an Android 4.2 based CM10.1 build (!!!!) within a week or so, things are looking up in a very BIG way for this phone.

It will be a very Merry Christmas for the i777 I am sure.
