Flash away.....!

Now, if something goes wrong or isn't working right, full wipe before asking any questions. But, you should be fine.

It's states In the OP if you are coming from the beta version there is no need to wipe. Statement is right by the download link....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I think you've misunderstood the point, Tek.

Put it this way, you don't have to full wipe even you come from Eclair or Froyo, it's your own choice, however if you have ANY ISSUE, do FULL WIPE. regardless which version you are currently running, alpha, beta, gamma, v3.9, v4.0 or v4.1, today build or tomorrow build.

If you have any issue, do full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dpaik:
ohhhHHHHHH manNNn...this is friggin' awesome...i don't know about the kernel that comes with it...seems like there are some issues such as the notification bar not pulling down when swiping fast...certain skips and lag in apps such as FB, IG, twitter etc...but I flashed AJK 4.9 and all those issues were resolved...i'm a happy camper dude...thanks so much for your continued support for our aging yet fully capable phones from seeing their deathbeds...feel like I can stay on this ROM until they come out with galaxy S5 or Note4...this eFuse on Samsung's Knox security not being able to be cracked easily...hence no custom roms...is kinda hindering me from upgrading. But this rom man....dammmmn this rom...keepin' ma phone alive and churnin'...lovin' it! :good::good::good::good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
My Apologies....!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Seriously what is the point in this conversation?

The OP CLEARLY states that unles you are coming from v4.0 that you have to FULL WIPE... Period. I don't condone any other method that anyone uses. And it also clearly states that you you have issues with not full wiping..... FULL WIPE.

Lets not get all hung up on this...

Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dpaik:
actually i'm noticing this too....i thought my reception was pretty bad after flashing this new base...just turned off my NFC...didn't know it was on....and now i'm getting full bars where before i was only getting 2-3 in the same location...very strange...never really use NFC anyways so no biggie but just thought it was weird that the NFC being on could affect the reception strength/quality this much...never noticed it on 3.0.2 :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Hey shoman94...

1st, big thx for the update and continued dev work and support !

2nd, lil late i iz :/ but wanted to post that i've been running the beta 4.0 since last nite and all has been running great ! Everything that i use on a daily basis at work has functioned without a problem. Calls, txts, bluetooth, maps, gps, camera, web stuff, gmail, alarms...all good, zero issues.

Great job again !!

And now on to the released 4.0 :D I'm sure all will continue to be good to go. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
NFC has always been flakey though I'm not sure why they would cause a problem. I will test that out on my phone.

EDIT: I just Tested this and I have the same WIFI speed no matter if NFC is on or not. I rebooted in between toggles also to see if that did anything. My speed is 21mbps down and 2.3mbps up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mpkothari:
Damn you Indiana and Maine residents!!!! The fastest I can get on all the popular modems in New Jersey (11 miles from NYC) is like 8 down 2 up...on a good day!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Well I'm assuming that he is on Wi-Fi with that speed.... I tested Wi-Fi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jrex:
Just for the record, my speed isn't effected by nfc on/off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dpaik:
i'm sorry. I wasn't clear when I posted. I was referring to the mobile signal reception and not WiFi....it didn't affect that at all and if it did it was trivial and was unnoticeable. But my mobile signal (i'm on UCLL6 modem btw and in NJ) suffered and when I turned NFC off my signal for mobile goes full blast but when I turn NFC on the mobile signal goes to 3 bars. WiFi is still fine at full bars if I connect with NFC on or off btw so everything is good on that front. hope that clears things up. sorry again

never had luck with UCDM8 modem in NJ...is there another modem i should be using? like UCLE5, CLK, CLD...etc?

ALSO: just wanted to also let you know I speedtested WiFi on this phone with the new base...it's giving me 39.96 Mbps down and 14.69 Mbps up...mobile i'm getting at best 9.47 Mbps down and a measly 1.67 Mbps up....something is up with this new modem and base combo...I was getting about 15 Mpbs down and 3-4 Mbps up on mobile on 3.0.2....I full wiped btw as well just if there was any doubt (cache, dalvik, format system, flash rom)...maybe I should try DM8 again? hopefully it'll play better with this new base
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Just curious but what's the point of using the NFC chip on this phone. Its practically useless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zuikan:
Unlock

Is there anyway to unlock these phones for free anymore? Just Call AT&T? App? All the listings I see are for ICS or lower and then they say they do not keep. I am still running Sho3.0.1 with Jeboo 1.3b+, Has been rock solid for me. 914 hours of up time, still do not need to reboot even with tons of apps installed, Greenify keeps them in check and battery life is great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I've never seen that speed on HSPA+. I think 10 down and 1.2 up is about it.

Your screenshots you posted a couple days ago of NFC on and off were 14+ and 3+ so this contridicts what You just said? Not only that though, the servers change all the time giving different results....

I will try it though when I get home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Well, how is it any more useless than any other phone with NFC? The only thing that you can't do with the NFC on this phone is tap to pay with google wallet. Otherwise, it's just like every other phone with an NFC chip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Execpt most devices have some actual drivers for NFC where the last time the i777 saw them was in Gingerbread.

Therefore useless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smiodan:
Lol...just wanted to let y'all know that the full wipe fixed my issue with the nfc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:

Good deal :thumbup:

...cause nfc, whether on or off, was not affecting my cell signal or data speed.

Another + for wipe installs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pepe100:
Other great update battery life is better, signal reception Is fine and I note improvement in compatibility with different apps. Thanks Sho for this stable ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheCam91:
Hello guys, I'm a little confused here on between full wipe and factory reset when it comes to flashing new/updated ROM. Does full wipe include factory reset? I know it sounds dumb to ask but I don't wanna screw my phone up without understanding instruction. I'm running on SHO 3.0.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pepe100:
full wipe is a factory reset is the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
^^ definitely not the same.

It isn't a dumb question at all, and there's lots of conflicting info posted about what a "full wipe" is... (stay tuned)

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

...well I suppose that depends on what we're calling a "full wipe". I was always under the impression that formatting /system was a part of a "full wipe", which isn't conducted by a factory reset.

this is mr.cooks rom wipe scripts are so valuable; or they'll get it all for you -not too little, not too much, one click. -if you really actually want a clean install.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

...but to your original question, a rom wipe script usually includes the steps of a factory reset, but they are not the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Really.... Let's not get nit picky. I full wipe means to wipe /system, /cache, /dalvik, and /data partitions.

So in CWM you choose format data/factory reset then flash my ROM as my script takes care of the other partitions I mentioned above. Pretty simple..... Cmon guys this is basic knowledge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
This rom has NFC enabled and I'm able to use it to the same extent as every other phone with NFC. Still not seeing how it's useless.

On a more related note, is anyone else experiencing the new base to be really buggy with AJK's kernel? Getting lots of random slow downs and freezes. I restored the 3.0.2 backup I had and all is well again. I know that kernel is not supported here, I'm just wondering if anyone else had noticed too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Been reading the last two pages and i can't find an answer to this. I installed the beta 4.0 on my w wife's phone from the link SHOman94 provided. Were any changes made to the beta version before it was added to the op?

Yep. Here ya go...post #7586..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
I have had zero problems running this latest version 4.0 of SHOstock3 with jeboo's jernel or AJK v4.9 MicSwap.

And as ya'll may already know, shoman94 has stated before that he cannot offer support when u r running his Rom with another kernel other than jeboo's. (i realize though that no one is askin for support and that info is just being posted) :) .

But i see nothing from running AJK with sho's Rom causing any issues.

I have done complete wipes before the installs of v 4.0 and can state that for the past 2 days that the running of the beta and released 4.0 has been without a single issue.

Thx again shoman94 for sharing ur dev work ! :beer:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I think it depends on how you sim unlocked it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] UhmierSmith:
I used the galaxy s unlock method of deleting the efs files
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Then I think it will lock back. I'm not sure though since I haven't unlocked mine. But I'm sure you've had it long enough that you can call AT&T and get an unlock code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pepe100:
The first time I install a custom ROM my phone was locked in that time I used GalaxSimUnlock and after of flashing many roms my device is unlocked yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
Thanks again for the awesome rom update, Sho! Its great.

A couple of things I've noticed (my previous rom was the February update, 2.7 I think), the new 5th row of icons nearly disappears when using a rotation locker. I haven't hooked up MHL yet but I will try it and see if landscape looks the same way. I assume this is just the nature of a 4x5 grid on this size screen, obviously not a huge deal for most users. Also, occasionally it seems that the toggles get pulled down rather than always staying in a static position when pulling down the notification bar.

Also has anyone used Xposed Framework on this rom? I assume from the original post for xposed that it should work, specifically the stools module to change colors of stuff. Anyone find any problems using it with shostock3?

Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zuikan:
I downloaded version 2.1.2, but since I am in the US, "Purchase currency is not supported", even tried $5 google credit. it will not let me buy the unlock. I will be in europe this weekend If I do not find a solution I will try it there, not sure if it will matter though. What version do you have?

I think I was just referring to when there are things in the notification tray that the toggles are not at the top or only halfway visible but for some reason didn't realize there was stuff in the notification tray/shade, probably because I was in landscape so there wasn't much room to see for whatever reason. Seems completely normal, sorry for any confusion.

Indicator Icons V4

Anyone else having an issue with the Indicator Icons not being correct in the Notifications bar? When I receive a text message the Indicator now shows as an e-mail. The App Icon shows the little 1, but the notification bar shows as an e-mail.

Otherwise everything appears to be rock solid!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] txnolesfan93:
That symbol looks correct to me. That is a text message icon because the email icon looks more square and evelope lines are more prominent. Let me try and get a screen shot of mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dehmducks:
O the previous version v3, the indicator was 2 overlapping text message boxes. Now the text indicator looks more like the e-mail envelope without the @.

Maybe it is just part of the new update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] txnolesfan93:
Ok... email icon in the middle followed by text message icon. I use gmail I dont know if its different from the email u use or not.

Auto-Correct and Handwriting

First I want to say after several roms this has to be my favorite. I am having an issue. I used the search and didn't find a solution that worked for me. My auto correct is not working. It seems to show the proper word in the available list but when I click space it just leaves the incorrect word in there. Also my handwriting also has an invalid license message. I saw both problems posted in the forums but after going a few pages ahead I still didn't find a solution. The one thing I did do for the auto correct was to make sure English US was checked and updated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

But truthfully ive handled that device and besides being able to wave ur hand aroumd and flip screens dont mean much to me. The latest version of sho3 has been flawless for me...and I have had small issues with it before. Nothing added except for note 2 keyboard with number row. No issues at all. The best. Sho/jeboo? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Plus look at the other Roms on 4.3, too many issues with battery life and other glitches. Sho 4.1.2 is stable, smooth, and awesome battery life.

Oh yeh, and GPS appears to be way way better than before. I was having a ton of issues on Sho3 for a long time with GPS no matter how many new downloads and flashes I did (thinking maybe even some of the downloads were corrupted). One day it would work, then next like 4 days could barely get a lock and vice versa, or would work, then go right back to it and wouldn't work unless phone is restarted. I've used GPS a few times now and got really fast locks and stable connection (no random freezes on Maps/Copilot where it would say searching for gps signal which sucks donkey balls when your in an area you don't know and rely on the Nav).

Sho what was the fix you did for GPS? I know you mentioned you tweaked it... nice job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I can't agree more with Sam. I have had a few custom roms with other android versions and I would always run out of juice before the day was over (Mr day is usually 12 hrs), but this Rom gets me 24 to 36 hours on battery with 4 (roughly) hours of screen on time and 3 hrs of music. Amazing work done by shoman and jeboo! It sucks that I won't be able to use newer versions of Android, but battery life is huge for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:

About the battery life, do you use a special profile and/or tuned governor (AJK or the original Jeboo)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
It's ok. :)

I don't use any specific profile. To be honest, I don't even know what governor I am using right now because I didn't set it. :P
