Don't use sync when isn't needed ...

Geeenify all apps you use on occasion. ...

Another thing is to use app to cycle data on/off when screen is off...

For additional cpu tuning if you desire we can discuss this over pm

My idling is 0.2-0.3 on idle/sleep state and I use cpu adjuster for various setinngs on the fly to fit my required tasks and I go easily 5+ screen time with 15% left on battery after. ..2-2.5 days on single charge easily

New kernel on this version ...have tremendously improved on performance vs watt usage. ...

So stock or AJK you will not go wrong

Ajk do give you more tweaking options and better gpu mali driver. ..Also updated bluetooth driver and much more from jeboo.....

My personal preferences is AJK ....I'm on wicked side and like fine tuning :thumbup::D;):cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Actually, only greenify apps that seem to cause you trouble. I once tried greenifying all apps and that gave me even worse battery life. Then I tried disabling only apps that BBS told me were causing wakelocks. Also, yeah, I get around .3% per hour.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Untitled87:
I also turn off auto-sync and use greenify to hibernate my apps... I even disable the mobile data....

I use AJK 4.9, Top profile, ondemand for cpu awake, zzmoove for cpu sleep, set max freq to 1000Mhz, gama shift to -10. My battery life leave 0.5-0.6% on deep sleep but 1.2-2% on awake. My phone archive 2.5->3 days for a single charge with just only 2.5-3 hours of screen on...

I heard someone uses tuned zzmoove governor for cpu awake and gets better battery life, but these tuning make my phone get SODs...

The idea of using fly settings is also interesting, can you describe some more details in these settings?

After testing several 4.3 jb ROM for this device I come back to shostock3 for its stability and awesome battery performance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gainstatom:
So I've used this rom for about a day or two now. I flashed AJK 4.9 with it. So far it's pretty good but it just randomly reboots by itself sometimes. Also, the battery drains a little. Overall it's pretty smooth. Those are my only problems I've found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
I would get random reboots on AJK also. I have ran Jeboo kernel for the last week (clean install of V4.0) and I have had no reboots and the battery has been great after the 2nd day of use/charge.

I do not think your issues are related to the ROM. Some run AJK with great results. My phone is very picky and many tweaks that are good for others, make my phone become unstable. Try Jeboo's kernel from post #3 for a week and see if it happens again.

Mr Cook has some scripts which will fix permissions on Jeboo's kernel and I use them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbi1:
I've been on 4.0 for the past two+ weeks. I just did updates from Google Play, updated was completed. Phone was in my pocket. I just took it out and it is stuck, out of the blue, on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo. Pulled battery out, put it back in - nothing.

Re-booted to recovery, re-installed 4.0, installation complete - still won't boot.

Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbi1:
Full wipe required to install 4.0, or do you mean full wipe required to fix it by re-installing? I did fully wiped before upgrading to 4.0 initially.

Edit: Full wipe and re-install brought it back up. But can someone explain what the hell happened? It was in my pocket, screen locked, and all of a sudden it 'loses' it's OS, just like that, out of the blue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Seems like Samsung still has not fixed it.... Remember when 4.1.2 first can out....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbi1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
Maybe it's been fixed in the XWMS1 base... Been following it on the i9100 development seems pretty solid. Have it on my test i777 pure stock with Jeboo 2.3a and ucll6 modem. No issues yet been a week on it battery life also good...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gainstatom:
Yeah, so I also flashed Jeboo kernel, but the battery life is terrible. I lose a percent a minute, when all I'm doing is texting. Maybe I have to wait a day, because today is the first day I flashed so let's see how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Yeah, wait a day. I get great battery life on Jeboo kernel. About 2 days of moderate use and 1 day of heavy use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
Try clearing both caches and fixing permissions. I have been having great battery life with Jeboo"s kernel, and with no lockups or reboots.

I use the kernel cleaning script after installing Jeboo's kernel which cleans both caches, resets Stweaks and fixes permissions.

Yeh I get great life with Jeboo packed with Sho and I use my phone pretty heavily throughout the day. I've tried AJK a few times with some of the Sho variations but battery life wasn't as good as the packed in Jeboo. If your draining a % a min in use there's something wrong with the phone/apps/or corrupted file.

BTW Sho I asked this earlier but don't think I got an answer, what did you change with GPS? B/c it's been working flawless ever since I updated to 4 a few weeks ago. Fast locking, stable etc. Seemed to fix the always "wonky" GPS this phone had lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I didn't change anything from previous builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Oh ok weird, I saw it said "applied gps tweaks" didn't know what that meant. Its way better than before on the other Sho versions, other roms, or stock. I kept thinking I had a faulty GPS in the phone but when I brought it in of course it was working fine and they wouldn't replace it. Ever since I got this thing the GPS has been wonky. Would work one second, then when I'd go back to use it it wouldn't work unless phone was restarted which I know a ton of people have posted about in basically every Rom thread lol. I leave GPS on so could never figure it out.

But oh well, it's never worked this good like it has past couple weeks. Almost instant locks, vs waiting minutes sometimes even after calibrating with gps status. And not once has it loss signal which it always did. B/c of your roms I've never had the want to upgrade even with the 3 and 4 (though we have a 4 b/c of a spare line), waiting to see what the S5 becomes. When people have used my phone they can't believe how smooth and fast this 2 year old phone is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Yes there are some tweaks but it hasn't changed. I've been using the same tweaks.

Glad it's working for you though...

What could be the reason that wifi will not connect automatically to known/stored networks? For example, I get back home and the home wifi is stored of course. It will not automatically connect to it unless I 'wake' the phone up (unlock the screen). This is after fresh install of v4.0. It used to work perfectly fine.

So I still have bad battery life after a week of using this rom. I changed the battery, cause I have two, and both of them don't work so well. Also, my phone seems to heat up, when its sleeping. Like I would leave my phone in my pocket with 60% and then after two hours, without using it, it would be 20%. I'm going to try redownloading the rom then flashing again. Another problem I have is that my phone keeps saying damaged SD card or blank SD card. I don't know if it's my phone that's the problem or what but its annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
My wife's phone did that with the SD card while it still worked in a PC. Then it failed completely. Make a back up of it if you have important stuff on it.

Also for Sho, is there anyway to set my wallpaper so it doesn't scroll when I swipe? I dont' like how I can't fit my whole picture because of the scroll thing. And this also happens when I try setting my lock screen. It's really annoying.

system settings won't open

After being rock solid for such a long time, with SHOstock, I suddenly can't get into system settings. I press menu item from one of the two places I normally go into system settings and either go directly to home screen or else I see settings for a brief moment then it goes to the home screen.

This coincides with changing countries from US to Mexico and trying to change SIM cards. I found that I still had a Sim lock on this, which I never noticed with my straight talk SIM, but do with Telcel.

No problem, I'll do the Sim unlock, I thought. Then, while trying to use the phone without a SIM, I run into this problem so I can't get into settings to connect to WIFI or anything.

Any clues? Is this just because I don't have a SIM installed ? Hard to believe, but that's the biggest variable I can think of so far. I've got the phone pretty dialed in, so I'm hoping I don't have to wipe and re-flash.

Looks good.

Just installed 1.1. Looks ok so far.

Only bug I'm finding is regarding noise reduction during call, which were already mentioned.

Looks like upper mic and lower mic is swapped when noise reduction is on. Probably because it is based on international version?

Hope this is fixed soon. Noise reduction is very useful feature when in noisy environment.

What does "Full Wipe REQUIRED if not coming from vX.X" mean? What is Version X.X?

I just upgraded from SHOstock 2 6.2 without wiping. Everything looks ok, except for some missing or incompatible apps.

Too much work to restore each app from backup. :p Hope this won't cause too much of problem.

I find APEX Launcher is still better than TouchWiz for me.

Don't like how they changed wall paper setting page in JB. Cannot use full image, and I don't understand why they had to do it like that.
