Wow!!! Sounds like u need to do a little research bro... Not really a good idea to be flashing stuff to your phone without having at least a basic understanding as to what it does, or is capable of doing... Just sayin... I don't until I read and reread everything!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I'm not really sure how you could be using ajk and not know what governors you're using. But since you don't, then I'm going to assume you're on the default profile which uses hyper/conservative for awake/asleep respectively.

I was suggesting that you re-flash ajk, using the instructions from the op of the ajk thread.

After that i would thoroughly explore the stweaks app and read the op all the way through. It will give you some knowledge as to what you're using and what it does/can do.

If you don't want to do that, then i would highly suggest just reflashing Shostock3 and using the jeebo kernel that comes with it. It is more of a flash and forget kernel -if that's more your thing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
ahhh....the governors in STweaks... they are on hyper and sleepy. The profile is performance. There is a ton to STweaks. A lot of the stuff in there is beyond me. Looked through it and looked things up back when I rooted, decided it was best left untouched.

Yes I understand how to flash the kernels and ROMs, using recovery and etc etc.

Where in the OP does it tell you about STweaks? Where in the AJK thread does it say this?

So reflashing the AJK is your advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yes. I would reflash ajk before i did a full wipe. But before you do that, let me ask you this: when you boot into recovery, is there any eye shaped yin yang in the background, or a top hat sitting on an orange gear looking emblem?

Stweaks is not in the op. It is an app that installs with ajk... There's not really any guide for it (that i know of). I've learned what i have about it through trial and error and f following the thread for the last six months. That's not really for some people and i get that. That's why i said maybe you'd prefer the jeebo kernel. It is a fantastic kernel. It's just doesn't have all the other options ajk does.

Ajk is also a fantastic kernel just the way it comes. But I'm not a hundred percent sure you're installing it correctly...

hey every one i have a suggestion and not sure where to put it . i know u guys make how to guides to root but u think for now on u guys could suggest that we flash the roms twice to make sure all files r flashed i have been known to just randomly change my rom on a whim for the fact i can and inotice that some roms like cm and aopk roms need flashing twice befor rebooting at all to get it right so just a suggestion good idea u think not most newbs wouldnt know that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
its the eye shaped ying yang picture in the background in recovery. in the setting under "about phone," its says AJK 1.25

AND... if I dont have it installed correctly, how? I went by exactly what the AJK thread tells you to do. I remember doing it all by the books in February, you and mr cook helped me.

one last thing.. I see AJK has a new kernel.. 2.05 or something like that. any of those for this phone? Does it help on anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Sounds like you got it installed correctly. I don't see any reason for you to update to the latest ajk.

Please note though that if you upgrade to SHOstock3 3.0 or higher, it won't boot with AJk 1.25. You will either have to use his latest kernel or ask and someone will link you to ajk 1.25ss. Or you can edit build.prop in the rom.

Is the "SettingsTetheringForStraightTalk.zip" file still available? I got a file not found on the hosting site. Page 530 of the provides the link but it looks to be invalid.

SHOstock is running very well on my Straight Talk SGH-S959G. The only thing I need is the tethering apk instead of flashing to the latest rom.

Can someone send the apk via PM? Thanks.

Ok im lost I used to read this thread pretty much everyday but slowed down after I got I think it was shostock v 2.1 on here. Now this was months ago mind you lol anyway the other day I get up and go about my day and noticed my phone was really slow and laggy. Before the day ended it was crashing and would freeze up well when I got home I went threw my files couldn't find anything but shostock 2.6 my phone is running great again but lost the ajk I was running not sure version but it had the purple yin yang. I was going to see what new stuff he had out but I seen he is leaving and looks like he pulled all his stuff off and I checked in settings ajk 1.25 seems to be what is on here I did a restore with cwm btw I played with 2.6 before cant tell you why but ended up sticking with 2.1 lol. . Ok all that being said should I stick with 2.6? Is there anywhere I can get newer ajk? Just not really sure what direction to travel im not into flashing my phone all the time just like to get something smooth and fast with good battery life like I had and then leave it alone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
If 2.6 is working for you I'd leave it alone. I have a library of Aj's kernels for Sammy roms. Letty me know what version you want and I'll hook you up

Well its running great really fast but battery seems to be running down faster maybe because everything is reset needs time to relearn idk. I dont use my phone all the time but with the way it was setup before I could go 3 days easy without charging unless I played on it alot but I could play on there a whole afternoon reading stuff and games it still wouldn't run dead on me I loved it. Not sure a good combo with shostock and ajk im sure they have gotten nothing but better.

That backup of 2.6 was all I had it was on my laptop guess this time im going to have to make more than 1. I lost alot of stuff it is a 32gig card think it only had like 4. Something free lol I reformatted the card because it wouldn't let me do anything with it now its working fine.

This AJ,s Siyah kernel version 7.8.9. It worked really good for me.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ik1gnx0pecostzm/Siyah-I777-v7.8.9-S.zip

Just a quick refresher course in the installation steps since AJ,s thread is closed now...

1] wipe cache

2] advanced>wipe dalvik

3] install kernel

4] advanced>reboot recovery

-after recovery reboots-

5] kernel specific options>reset exTweaks profiles

6] advanced>fix permissions

7} reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RoCKOwNz:
well I downloaded it and did the installation steps and when it goes to boot just black screen and the phone gets warm lol I was able to make it back into recovery this time and redid my 2.6 save I have to see if that would help but still just a black screen so idk im downloading the whole SHOstock 2.6 now to just start from fresh instead of that saved recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
That is strange.... That should have worked. That kernel should boot SHOstock3 2.6. What exactly are your steps you're using. Something is wrong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RoCKOwNz:
Well first attempt I booted to recovery and then used the steps you posted, after that didnt work I did a factory reset and tried to do a recovery with my save of 2.6 also with your steps posted but just the black screen again my recovery save might be messed up though I cant get it to use it at all so I well thought I was downloading v2.6 cause thats what the link says but I got 3.0.2 lol havent tried it yet though. do you know if I need anything diffrent for this version dont like to just install new or newer version roms I havent read about first going to have to try to google for 2.6 I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
If you did a factory reset you're going to have to first reinstall SS3 2.6 if you have it. THEN restore your back. Your preload is gone after the factory wipe so you're basically trying to boot up with just data and no ROM.

I would highly recommend upgrading ss3 3.0.2 and using a more up to date kernel version. You're going to have a hard time getting help if/when you need it when you're outdated. If you go that route i can link you aj's kernel that will boot that version. NOTE!! that siyah kernel will NOT boot any of SHO's roms after 3.0- at least not as is...

If you really want 2.6 i do have a copy of it i can link you to but i dont know how to get an MD5 sum for it so there wont be a way for you to know its a good download.

This AJK 1.25ss It will boot any samsung based rom https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzki9agqui9mikj/AJK-v1.25-SS.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RoCKOwNz:
I would love to have 2.6 I know that 2.6 and 2.1 ran awesome on here I might since I am without a phone at the moment anyways read up on the 3.0.2 and see about installing it at a later date but if you would send me a link for 2.6 that would be great im not having any luck finding it myself and thank you for the AJK-v1.25-SS I know I have used that 1 before and it was decent.

By the way what rom/kernel are you on? if your on a higher version what pros/cons have you noticed if any? 2.6 was the highest I ever got and I think if I remember right why I went back to 2.1 was my calls would be silent sometimes and mp3's wouldnt play a reboot would fix this but got annoying since I never knew when it was going to do it and never knew when someone would call lol but going to 2.1 didnt fix it either I just miss calls once in awhile lol.

I would say if you have horrible coverage with att and would be better with another carrier then yes. But I have seen alot of people online just wanting new phones because there is new stuff. This phone is awesome especially with a nice rom on it but att has nice coverage where I am. I will probably run this phone until it breaks unless I was to get a really good deal on something newer but it would have to be a pretty good buy im cheap lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EzSqueezeCheese:
I just saw that it does have a dual core 1 GHz processor. Not too shabby. There is a root method, but from reading online no one has found a recovery partition so it doesn't have cwm support ATM. Which also means no custom Roms. I don't think I can live on a straight from the factory stock ROM lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I am using the rom i quoted in my previous post with the ss3 v2.6 --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322046 <--- with the AJK 2.0.5ns kernel

There are some extra bells and whistles on the latest ss3. Screenshot in the power menu was a big plus for me. one less app to install. Some other behind the scenes stuff like scrolling cache and some other crap that i honestly have no idea what it does but it makes a smooth rom. The issues with your music was most likely your sd card going bad. The phone call issue can be resolved by checking the option in stweaks under the sounds tab "JB fix low sound on boot" Its a known bug with all JB roms. or just turn the volume down and then back up again.

Ive been a SS3 user almost exclusively but as of today im switching to the UCMD8 "COOKED" rom. Its official samsung, debloated, deodexed. It is an up and coming rival to SS3.

I like that its just a stock setup I liked SHOstock because it didnt have to much crazy stuff in it I dont like roms that have lots of add ons just seems to mess other stuff up lol. Thank you so much for your help today and catching me up to speed a little with all the changes that have went on.

Hey if it don't boot up for you after install, download ajk205ns from the op flash it first like you normally install his kernels then flash the rom. Don't forget to backup first.

Longest like 2 months ever lol I seen people trying to root it but nothing but fails until I found this forum I just kept up reading it until they finally got it. But not having good coverage is a bad thing too been there with my last phone samsung precedent had it rooted to because it was horrible without root lol. but it was sprint I do believe and wow couldnt use it anywhere around here so it had to go.

So I'm still using the latest CyanogenMod nightlies and I've run into an interesting problem lately: my phone is physically warm all the time. Even if I only use the phone for a few seconds to check a Twitter post or something, it's still really warm. Rebooting the phone seems to correct the problem, but as soon as I do something with it, play a game, check Twitter, read my email, it's back to being warm all the time.

So with all the talk about kernels and battery life and stuff, is this a kernel issue or a ROM issue or both? Battery life and the warmth of the phone have become pressing concerns for me lately since I'm afraid if it keeps up I'll be out of a phone. And when I mean battery life, I mean that I'm only getting a few hours of battery life if I actually use the phone. If only pull it out for a few seconds every now and then, I can stretch it to maybe 10 or 12 hours. A phone call eats like 5 percent of the battery or something, I haven't exactly watched it explicitly, but it's a good chunk.

The warmness issue is more important to me. I can live with crappy battery life, I can't live with an overheated phone and since I like in Alaska and we're having record breaking temps, I'm genuinely concerned I'm going to have a paperweight at a time when I can't afford to buy a new phone of this caliber.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Sounds like your phone is sticking in a high frequency. Get better battery stats on there. Charge it up and use it like you normally do. After couple hours check what CPU state your phone is in most of the time. It will give you a world of information about what is going on in your phone.

And you may just need to do a full wipe :/
