I cannot express enough how many wipes, redownloads, and reflashes I did involving various versions of SS3 and Stock Rom dealing with this autorotate nonsense. My mobile data connection messed up at some point in this period as well. When I had given up, thinking all hope was lost, considering buying an S3 and throwing this S2 off of a cliff, then burning its remains, I decided to reflash the same CM 10.1 nightly that seemed to be the catalyst to all of this...Everything works fine atm. Its....such a pain in my ass. But all is swell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
I'm figuring this is "final"...as in 3.0.2 is the end of the line.

I'l pick up the S4 later down the road. Do you know Sho if the T-Mobile based S4 is any different from the AT&T unit? I'm thinking of going Straight Talk and grabbing a T-Mobile sim. Haven't done anything yet but it's something I'm considering.

As long as I own the device, I don't think

I'll ever final four wrote some time. I might not add new features but I would keep it up to date with releases.

I'm still not sure if I'll grab it. Which sucks cause I love the phone itself but not having the ability to go back to stock and easily flash makes it a cumbersome device to share. Everything woods have to be done via adb with swapping out apk's and could lead to issues for many. Might be fine fir personal use but I like sharing what I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Demodave:
I am now eligible for an upgrade; but I am waiting on the 32GB model of the S4 to be released to make the jump. I am hoping that will happen soon. I will then sell my SHOstock3 unlocked S2 for a nice chunk of change.

AT&T is also offering $200 off the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with LTE if you purchase at the same time as the S4. I've held off on getting a tablet...but for $199, I think this sounds like a great deal! Has anyone here played with this tablet? Is it decent? The reviews online seem very positive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:
From my experience owning S4 for couple weeks now and Note II for quite some time I will likely choose note II if you put me against wall....for S4 there isn't much if you are on custom roms running before I got S4 ....so to tell you the truth stay off till S5 come out that should be complete overhaul for this device. ....I have seen when i was in Seoul some developer's using something that will become future S5....:D

Hi

Some folks seem to try CM10.1 and then flash back to Shostock3 without issue, but I, too, had problems. :crying:

I had disk errors -not the gyro / screen rotation phenomenon; but perhaps something from the CyanogenMod implementation was left over in my phone even after the wipe back to Shostock.

At least for me, the normal full-wipe and reinstall did not seem to clean out everything, maybe because of the differences in files structures or file systems. . (Sorry just knowing there is a difference between ext3 and ext4 is pushing the top of my tech ;)

That's why erasing may not be enough and re-formating may be necessary. I eliminated my errors only after:

-- clearing and re-formatting the system partition,

-- clearing and re-formatting the cache, then

-- clearing and re-formatting sdcard0/internal memory

Then reinstalling a fresh copy of Shostock3

THE RE-FORMATTING SEEMED KEY TO MY RECOVERY. Some earlier posts talk to this (#5587,#5523); and while they are focused on the file-system issues, perhaps the method of cleaning out the CM10.1 "leftovers" might work or be helpful to you as well. . .

Good Luck!

Lost Root

It appears after I installed the TWRP enabled Jeboo kernel I have lost root. I say this because that is the last change I have done to the phone. The way I found out was, I launched CPU Adjuster and it told me that I did not have root and functionality would be limited. I then went to SuperSU and it said that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" I did a little bit of digging and saw that ExynosAbuse should be able to root the device, but I get the error "FAILURE (at life right now): Could not root device." I tried flashing again over the current ROM, but this didn't work either.

Any body know if there is an easy way to root my device again?

I am on the fence between the S4 and HTC One. I've had the SG I, and SG II, since day one when both were released. So I hate to leave what I'm used too.

I've read so many different reviews my head is spinning. One review and I say OK, I'm getting this one. Then I read another review, and I'm convinced to get the other one. Both are great phones and I can't go wrong with either of them.

But, a review from you somebody I trust would help.

I have two of the WIFI addition Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablets they seem to be solid devices missing Shoman's touch though. I've been on Shostock since shortly after getting my first smartphone and it's easy to take for granted all of the work he has put into this ROM until you try another device or ROM. There isn't much for stock development going on so custom ROM choices are pretty slim. I ended up giving my Tab to my son and upgrading to the Galaxy Note 10.1 so I could have the S-Pen functionality for taking notes at work both tablets are very similar in use other than the stock ROM on the Note is much much better.

Build quality?

The main thing deterring me from getting the S4 is the build quality of the S2...it just feels cheap in my hands, not something you want to be able to say about something you just dropped a couple hundred dollars on. I would love to get your opinion on it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
Must be nice that that is your main holdup.. My main holdup is cost off-contract. 3 kids, one income. It'll take forever for Straight Talk to get the s4, if they get it. No way I'm going back to contract for a phone, so I'm on the s2 for good.

I haven't found a good solution to screw over tmobile or AT&T by starting a contract and then canceling it to save money..

FEELS cheap isn't the same as IS cheap. I played with one and it "feels" plenty sturdy but also light weight.

Plastic housings with a metal internal frame has its advantages over a unibody metal housing.

Plus I'll take a phone with microsd slot and removable battery every time. No I have no desire to carry a huge battery pack. An extra OEM battery takes up much less room.

AT&T

Well that would be an issue but I have decided to stay with AT&T (I am on a family plan with 4 lines all with contracts ending a different times and if I dropped just my line it would only save $25 a month but ST costs $45) and I have lined up a buyer for my S2 who will pay about as much as an on contract S4 so cost isn't really a big issue.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

I know the difference between feels cheap and is cheap, but that doesn't change the fact that the S2 FEELS cheap. I would rather one feel cheap than be cheap, but I would love to get a phone that is neither. I don't take issue with the light weight, the back plastic piece is so thin and cheap feeling but I don't use cases on my phones so it is more of an issue for me than many others who put their phones in a case anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] secretasianman:
I've never had a problem with the thin battery cover. In fact I like how flexible it is because I'm not worried about breaking it.

I got this SGS2 after using the HTC Inspire: That phone single handedly made me a HTC hater because of the unibody design.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
Why? Just buy the phone and bring it to straight talk. It doesn't need to be in their offerings to work on their network.

As for build quality of the S2...i lost track how many times I dropped it (both with and without the case) and it still has held up fine for almost two years.

Pretty much this has become GS4 discussion thread and a lot of xcitement around ever since Sho got GS4! Apart from hardware specs,cheap,plastic, etc. One must really worry about bloatware! It seems ROM size has increased many folds due to bloatware, especially space left for users is less than 8GB on 16GB model as I read somewhere! (Micro SD saves us though). Plus getting rid of bloatware and still achieving stability..oh I can't imagine how much pain a dev should go thru!

Thanks for the suggestion.

I went to the AT&T store yesterday and played with both phones for a while, I walked out with a S4. Many different reasons why I chose it, but it was mainly because I liked the feel of the S4, both holding it in my hand and the feel of the front glass when swiping back and forth.

Gsmarena makes some awesome reviews too, there's also another thing against the GS4, the gorgeous AMOLED screen, I suggest you don't read what I'm about to write.

AMOLED screens offer better picture quality without a question however....

They not only suffer from burn in, but the Blue sub pixels have an awefully short lifetime, they survive for only like 2000 hours if the are turned on, the red and green ones survive for about 200.000 hours so you don't have to ever worry about them, this means that when you display things that need the blue sub pixel to light up you are slowly killing your screen, once you have this knowledge you'll be bothered by white, blue, purple and other colors.

I like AMOLED screen more however this knowledge has stopped me from enjoying them as much as before because I'm constantly worried about killing the blue sub pixels.

Sho

Glad to hear you got the S4. I am hoping get it myself soon, but am struggling between staying with at&t and getting the locked phone, or perhaps going to T-Mobile for the unlocked phone and cheaper service (I know the boatloader was already cracked by Dan Robinson, but it's all about sending a signal to at&t). AT&T also has a terribly inconsistent data network where I live while T-Mobile has a newly deployed LTE network.

To be honest, the ONLY thing preventing me from jumping ship right now is shostock4 :D After what you did for the S2 there is no way I am running any other ROM! So, from what you know so far about the AT&T and t-mobile versions of the S4, can you already tell if a ROM developed for the at&t version would work on the t-mobile version? Or is it too early to tell? I have read that they seem to be almost identical devices, but "almost" seems to be the operative word here. I know we don't yet have much info on these phones, but was wondering if you already knew enough to be able to tell.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I'm not sure yet but it sounds like that will be possible. Similar to the sgs3.

The ROM increase is not just due to bloat. The apk's have also grown greatly with jellybean. A lot of the system apk's are double the size or more because of the new resolution screens. Better image quality screens and then using the same apk for multiple phones, so they have to support multiple screen sizes.

I have no issue with that. I think they blow that out of proportion.

I have the captivate still (4 years) and the screen is still beautiful. Same goes for my sgs2.... I'm not worried.

According to the post found here: http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=77182.0;wap2

As an example typical panel 3 years ago would have expected life of:

R and G - around 100,000 hours, B - much less, around 15,000 hours.

So if a typical oled panel that was manufactured 3 years ago gets 15,000 hours with the blue oled, then I doubt seriously that your 2000 hour number is valid.

Plus, the new screens have a different sub-pixel design that reduces the chances of the blue pixels burning out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] andronald:
Totally agree with you on that one. I honestly prefer LCD technology - because of its matured life span and reliablity. It is also cheaper to produce.

I bought my S2 used, and there is severe burn in from the past owner (seemed to have left it on for a few hours on his or her homescreen, I can still read their icons!). I tried adjusting the screen gamma offset (using the siyah kernal), but my whites and greys were turning yellow!

Whites arent white anymore, they are yellow. Well, it seems that way so far, and it just keeps on getting worse.

I love Shostock . But I think I should point out (And this goes for every other rom too) that no one should make a purchase or contract agreement specifically because a developer made that decision. Just choose something that fits your style. After all, android is about uniqueness. Being able to do what we want, without restriction. (As far as the coding of the android system goes, in comparison to let's say apple ) just have fun with it. Enjoy your device, and as always, keep the positive vibes flowing.
