Wish you developed for the ATT s3!! Used your ROM when I had the s2

Umm... Does he not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Not the s3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EzSqueezeCheese:
Ah, right. You develop for the S4. I'm behind with the times. My S2 and I in an igloo.

I guess this is a goodbye post. At the end of this month, I will have had my S2 for almost 2 years, and it'll be retired for the HTC One Google Edition (so excited). A huge thank you to Shoman for keeping my phone a pleasure to use and for keeping me sane for the past few months, because I'm sure Samsung wouldn't have. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atvspecialties:
Well, as always, I'm back as ShoStock driving the S2. I've had "flashaholicism" lately and enjoyed several roms that are out there. There's just nothing, IMO, that tops this Rom...or is as solid. Thanks, again, Shoman

Im attempting to use a OTG cable to transfer a movie from my s2 to my usb flash drive. But my phone vibrated and rebooted so it seems to be causing issues. So any recommendations?

Yeh it works fine now.

Won't believe what I did though lol. So after I was trying to figure out what was wrong, I went through and started clearing up bs and memory stuff to free up the internal. I deleted the tibu folder to start fresh and save to the external, no usb transfer cord since my dog just ate it lol. No worries done stuff like this before and I have an old backup on my computer of tibu files. So cleared everything and went to back up and when it got to the last file like literally 99% complete backing up... the phone soft bricked and stuck on the samsung boot screen :p . Kept trying to reset it but wouldn't work, tried everything saving full wipe for last in hopes that i wouldn't have to, but nope lol. Full wipe, reinstalled rom, downloaded Tibu in hopes that it had backed up, but it didn't. Luckily I happen to take snapshots of the screens not long ago so I know the main apps I have to re-download, but there were things in the app folder I never put on the home screens.

oh well lol. Least I had sms backup+ but last used it in April, so have my text only till that point. Talk about having a glitch at the wrong time, least the camera saves to the external fine now lol

If you got your apps from the play store, they are still there under settings - apps. You will just have to download them and install. Data and settings will be gone though.

Hi everybody,

It seems like there is some maintenance going on in this site and the "Search" function does not work.

I have a couple of questions.

- How many Exchange accounts can the default email app support?

- I have trouble setting gmail as exchange with the default email app (server not found).

I ve searched around and all info about it are a couple of years old or thier solutions do not work for me.

Why dont I use the gmail app? well I had a lot of trouble with it lately. For some reason it uses like 100% of the cpu, drains the battery in like 5 minutes, and brings the phone to a melting point.

I dont want to reset/reinstall right now cause I am traveling

BTW using 3.02 default kernel

Thank you all in advance and Sho hope you are loving your S4!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
Every time I try to use the Handwriting feature form the default Samsung Keyboard I get the error message "Invalid License." Is this a known bug with the ROM? I'm currently on 3.0.2. I have also uploaded a screen shot of what I'm talking about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I'm not sure on the exchange accounts. .. But Gmail sets itself up. When setting up

a new email. .. all you have to do is input the email and address and setup imap. I believe everything else sets itself up.

Is always been that way. Probably because it's an i9100 base ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sakisus:
Thanks for the reply Sho!

I apologize I didnt mention that the non-exchange feature of the native email app works fine but the problem is that there is no "push" capability.

Anyways, I ll try a few more things and may be I ll give the gmail app another try.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
Try Touchdown (paid) or K9 Mail which is free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sakisus:
Thanks for your quick reply!

Thank you also for your suggestions,

I ve tried K9 multiple times the past year or so and I am not a big fun, also I am a little hesitant on using personal and business info with a 3rd/4th party app. I know I am being paranoid and I cant prove anything but I am insecure about this.

I like the native email app, is simple and clean, functional and responsive, it looks good and very readable. I just wish there was "push" for gmail.

I dont mean to get off subject and I apologize. I just thought I was doing something wrong (some setting or such).

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Unfortunately the is no push option for Gmail. ... not sure why. .. sucks.

Just curiouse Sho. Are you working on an i777 release of the new build. I understand most of the attention is on the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I was gonna wait until 4.2.2 but a may update the base to the latest i9100 base.

We'll see what I have time for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
What's the i9100 base is it the international version of 4.2.2?

Wish I had a S4 so I could hang with the best DEV on XDA... To many kids and bills for new toys.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NegativeSpace:
I think it's either XWLSS or XWLSW, based on what's listed at Sammobile.

4.2 likely won't come out for ours until after it's released for the S3, which I think is supposed to occur sometime this summer.

You can unzip the ShoStock 2.6 version zip file and pull it out yourself If you know how to . I actually have the file on my phone but I'm not sure how to share it with you. :confused:

Sho, thanks for all tweaks and mods you have put together on this wonderful phone. Unfortunately, my screen cracked and it is out of my budget to repair the screen. I might as well upgrade to the s4. Honestly, I would kept the phone as long as I wanted. the S2 will be my backup phone in the future in case I need it. I will need to repair the screen but I'm pretty sure the price of the screen will drop. The s2 w/ sthostock3 is still a deadly combo!

A small donation will be headed your way. See you in the S4.

Oye'.... GPS issue is back. Seems to always work fine after a reflash, and then degrades after that. But works perfect on stock rom. This started for me a few Sho3 versions back and I know others as well from post on here. But really not sure what causes it, possibly the modem??

Basically like before if I manage to get GPS/Nav to work and then don't use it, and then go to use it again, it'll say searching for GPS signal for as long as you let it. Have to reboot the phone, and then it works perfect again. But then if I stop using it and go back to use Nav, same thing happens again. I tried GPS apps (like status and toolbox) and they seem to work, temporarily. If I leave GPS and location etc on all day, that doesn't seem to make a difference as I've been trying that with Sho's recommendation and the same thing will happen, sometime it'll work a few times in a row and then it'll start saying searching for GPS and stay like that for as long as you let it, I let it be the other day to see if it would get a lock, and 35 minutes later I checked and Nav still said searching for gps signal.

It can't be hardware as it works fine stock, and I have an employee and friend running Sho3 on their I777s with the same issue, and another on a different rom with the same issue. Anything else to check or maybe try as it sucks having to reboot the phone constantly to use Nav. I know there are a lot of post in here about this and seems no real fix, mine used to be fine, it was only until like a version or two ago when this started, can't remember exactly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What script is this? Link?

And how does manipulating the time server help GPS? Or does this script do something else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NegativeSpace:
I've never had a GPS issue here that couldn't be solved with reboot to CWM/wipe cache/wipe dalvik/fix permissions/reboot. Did you do that?

I have to do it every time i install a Shostock update, but after I do it once GPS is always fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Yeh it always works at first, then it starts acting up again and will only work after a reboot. Friend and employee on Sho3 have the same issue, and another on I think slimbean has same thing happen. Seems when searching the i777 has more reported GPS issues with roms then any other phone. GPS works fine stock. I remember a revision or two ago this thing was fast, I'm talking locking in like 10 seconds or sooner, but now its more like a minute or two if it even locks, left it on the other day and half hour later still said searching for gps on Nav. After a reflash, wipe, fix permissions etc it'll work normal and then start up again. Other post in here and elsewhere say the same thing.

No clue what causes this, only thing I can think of is this modem doesn't play nice with my area maybe? I've tried clearing and resetting with GPS Status and toolbox but doesn't seem to make a difference really.

If it does lock it works fine and fast even if I exit and go right back into Nav. However lets say I use it to go somewhere and then go back to it like 30 min later it won't lock unless rebooted.

EDIT - trying this again lol, reflashed Sho3 -> booted back to recovery and wiped cache/dalvik/fix permissions again -> rebooted -> opened GPS Status Toobox and reset it and downloaded xtra data. Check it and got a lock in 7 seconds 10/12 satellites. I'll keep testing out and see what happens. Only thing I don't understand is GPS Status says this will only speed up GPS for a few days, then what?!? lol... have to keep redoing that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I haven't touched GPS for like 15 versions ago. Since version v1.8 the GPS (sirfgps.conf) have been identical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcala:
You cannot blame every GPS issue on the phone nor the ROM. If you did some research you would find that those satellites up in the sky are ancient. They were supposed to be upgraded years ago. Gps issues are to be expected. Ever heard of solar flares? Need life saving GPS? Buy a TomTom not a Samsung! That rhymed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Except our iphones at the same time will lock and work, while our androids can't lol... so why would the iphones not be effected same time, magical apple satellites (j/k lol)? Even last night we were at a friends 4th July Party and he couldn't get a GPS lock on his new S4, rebooted and it was fine, when I've searched that glitch "the reboot to get gps working" seems to be way more prevalent on Samsung phones. Meanwhile fiances 4S and 5 lock no prob. I think something has always been screwy with Androids GPS as that's the only complaint I've had and friends had with Android over the years.

I know solar flares and other things that could effect. But that does't explain how it works, and I can exit and go right back in like 5-10 min and it's fine... but if i wait 30+ min has to be rebooted or will just keep saying searching signal every single time lol. Or that it works perfect on stock rom when testing, whether flipping gps on or off or leaving it on all the time. After a reflash each time it works flawlessly for about a week or so then that issue starts popping up again.

yeh I have no clue, I remember a few months ago after I flashed a new updated rom version the GPS was locking in like seconds and no problems and I could exit and turn location/gps off, then turn it back on hours later and it would work. But it doesn't do it stock (needing rebooting to get it to lock again).

The procedure I did yesterday though worked, even when I turned GPS off and went back to it to check. Gonna keep playing with it and see, but hopefully this has fixed it. Def not a knock on the rom, as it's so slick and fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcala:
My bad, your issue is not in the skies but within our phones. My old Captivate was the worst P.O.S. on getting a GPS lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
weird thing is although mine doesn't do it stock, others have reported same for stock i777s, and some have already been mentioning it on the S4s. Like last night we were hanging out and noticed he got a new S4 and said he loves it except he said he has a problem with GPS where he has to always reboot it to get it to lock... I was like mine does the same thing lol. Except his does it stock, and on the rom he flashed though can't remember which one he used but he has the Sprint S4, I'm on AT&T. My other friends with Androids and some employees only complain about GPS issues on Samsung devices... go figure :eek:

I'll still put up with it as the phone stick kicks ass on Sho3. But seems to be working so far so good after I reflashed/wiped etc, and then reset GPS with new data immediately after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eckyx:
Decided to try SHOstock again after using CM for a while, and having a few problems.

What I've done:

1. Full wipe, clear cache/dalvik.

2. Install SHOstock 3.0.2

3. Boot up, enter my Google account informatiom

^ With no programs installed, just sitting on the homescreen, every 5-10 minutes I'll get a "Play Store has stopped working" or "Messaging has stopped working" error. I'm not sure what to do as I haven't installed anything or changed any settings at all. Would fixing permissions maybe make it better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NegativeSpace:
I'd try clearing play store data then reboot. Might just need to rewipe and reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eckyx:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Also, have a curiosity - my wife is still running on SHOstock 1.8.5 (I believe) and new mali kernels work with that version. Did 1.8.1 use the new mali driver?

Maybe 3.0.2 just needs some time to "settle in" on mine, but it doesn't seem nearly as buttery as her older version running with the new mali driver.

EDIT: Actually STI 2.38 new mali works on 3.0.2 too, but not any older versions of the kernel. Why do new mali kernels work with SHO?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'll throw in my experience. I have also been having GPS lock issues for some time on SHOstock3. Not as severe as you though. It sometimes will finally lock after 5 to 10 minutes without a reboot. It's very inconvenient though when you want to get in the car and go and you can't even get into the navigation program to enter your address. There have been a few occasions when nothing but a reboot would solve the issue.

After reading the suggestion above, I thought why not try it. Yesterday I booted into recovery, formatted cache, wiped dalvik, and fixed permissions. That's all I did. When I rebooted, I got a lock in about 5 seconds. But that was to be expected because I had just rebooted. BTW, it was overcast and raining here both yesterday and today. I was standing in the garage door just under the eves with only about half of the sky visible. (My house has a metal roof, so really only half of the sky is visible.) Today, after about 24 hours, I just tried it again. Got a lock in about 10 seconds. Maybe this really is a fix? I'll keep an eye on the results over the next week or so. If it is, I wonder which one of the three things is the benefactor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
I have sort of a fix I installed a GPS program from Google Playstore. Once installed run the app and get a lock, hit the home button and it leaves the service running in background and you never lose a lock. Used for over a week and never have to reboot my phone. If you don't want to keep it running in the background whenever you have issues just run the app and you don't need to reboot. Here is the link. Give a try!

Since you guys continue talking about the GPS itchy issue, I would like to chip in my thoughts as well as my experience with those tools mentioned above such GPS Status and Tools, TopNTP, and AndroiTS, ..... Firstly, honestly I don't know how it works, I'm sure it will help but definitely not fix the problem.

If you get a signal locked, say, about 1 minutes, then I believe those tools will help you getting locked FASTER, say 5 seconds. Great.

However, like in my case, if you DON'T get a signal locked, even though after 30 minutes, then those tools above are NOT gonna help you at all.

Reboot will fix it and get it locked very quick then it dies again.

I have tried different kernels, fix permission in CWM, ....... something else? No help.

So, up 'til now, instead of waiting (and wasting) l just simply reboot the phone, well, it takes few minutes but still ......
