Nice ROM

I have used this ROM for 5 days now. I waited before I post the feedback. This ROM is good in lot of ways. I came from stock ICS release. I am using now using shostock3 v1.6.1

1. Absolutely no heating issues so far which was always a problem on stock AT&T ICS release.

2. The device is buttery smooth. Most times the device is smooth except few times where I see the Touchwiz crashing.

3. Battery life is very bad. Looking at the battery performance, most of the battery is consumed by Android OS and display screen. I have reduced the brightness but still there is lot of battery lost here.

4. On clicking the power to unlock the phone, the screen doesn't come up fast. its kind of slow. It will be nice to get the wake-up/sleep effect that is seen on Nexus 4/Galaxy nexus device.

Will come back and update the performance and issues soon....

Thanks for the ROM, OP :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Awesome.... I think she'll be happy. :D

Yes sir

yes sir BUT its good to perform a full cycle here and there for the phone's calibration in my experience.

Running out of memory.... that make no sense. You are the first I hear of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
This happened to me at one point and was caused by a corrupt CWM backup; the media scanner kept scanning the backup directory until the memory was full. Long story short, I removed the backups from the phone through the CWM menus and things are back to normal on that front.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
hmmm.. that makes sense... especially with the different file versions that CWM was using at first. Now it's all default to tar....thank god.

Old back ups... corrupt files, retarded files names...lol... thumbnail files corrupt or missing.... these all lead to media scanner running away and excess system storage usage.

But the whole battery discussion didn't offend you?

I've checked Google and it seemingly has to do with the modem waking the phone and switch between 2g/3g/H+. Seems to be mostly a Samsung issue.

I'm having issues because I like to use statuabar+, go launcher, and SwiftKey and SetCPU. I have 0 problems on SHOStock2, but on v3,for some reason, it just uses a lot more cpu and memory than normal. I tried it for 5 days and I just couldn't figure out a happy medium. It might even be because these apps are not optimized for 4.1, but I don't know.

I can record a video if you want to see the difference.

I love all he new features, but I don't want to sacrifice too much of what I enjoy doing. I assumed v3 would use even less ram idling, but I don't think it does? Might have something to do with the Google now search feature.. And the multi Window, and the extra animations.. Just a lot of stuff.

battery sucks and some apps won't work/are deleted....i can't wait until the source to drop and this comes out of beta....just an FYI btw i'm getting 14 hrs of up time/4hrs 30min screen on with 12% battery left on AOKP....haven't gotten this kind of battery and performance in a LONG time

:: I KNOW it's a BETA...i'm just stating some things that I observe...isn't that what a BETA is about...having people who were not involved in the development testing it out and reporting what works and what doesn't?::

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phermey:
i was at 40 hours with 28% left on estabiens port with an hour of screen time. this rom doesnt seem to be as good but it still isnt bad. i get comparable to aokp with this one. . my first round on this one was 31 hours to dead running live wallpaper for half of it, no widgets and 90 minutes screen.

@shoman. the live wallpaper i was running was the cause of the lock screen hangups. i have only had to deal with it once since i went back to #000000.

@jeboo. thanks a ton for figuring it out. i was just about to start sideloading all of my paid apps,.

lol I probably should have, but impatience got to me I am well past that point now. I usually have everything either on dropbox or scp'd over to my laptop anyway, it just annoys me to no end. It's not the first time I've formated sdcard vs emmc or vice versa. I even checked first and the "install zip" pointed to sdcard, not emmc. But when I formatted emmc and it took longer than a few seconds I knew I was sunk. :(. Safest way is to pull the card I guess until you know how the kernel handles it.

Actually yes I had a nandroid of this rom that failed after restore, and no renaming. Just bootlooped after restore. I had gone in and removed some older backups though so though maybe something with blobs was hosed on my end...

Ahh as it turns out the only things I really lost are two that are hard to recreate - my tibu settings that allow me to restore my working android ID for Good App, and my backup of an app that won't install on JB from market (even but actually works fine). I had a tibu of it off a ICS rom but alas it is gone, I hadn't saved it off yet :(.

I'll look into manually changing my Android ID...I tried it once via sqlite3 before but hosed my phone...have to see if there is another method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] txnolesfan93:
Small issue but I like the feature... does sho3 have the pop out video in the video player like sho2 does? I use it a lot. I know there is an app on play but just wondering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Tibu always asks that when you flash a new Rom. I've always hit ignore and never had a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 78Staff:
Yeah, i am opposite in that I want the old id, and Tibu will restore it for me, normally. that is unless I accidentally formatted my sdcard with tibu configs/backups on it lol.

It's doable. aokp allows you to change it in dev options. There's the sqlite3 way, as well as an app or two on the market. Or I can open a HD ticket at work for a new pin.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
x2...Shoman when you get back in town you need to add this if you can asap :)

It's the only main feature keeping me from looking back at CM10.

Also, when upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 on CM10 I noticed it allowed one finger swiping to expand the notifications instead of two fingers. I can't get it to function like that on this ROM. Is this a limitation of this ROM or am I doing something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rfb813:
all is workjing well but the GPS lock is a problem. I noted on the I9100 Thread that many LSJ ROMs hve improved GPS lock. I hellraised one and the GPS locked right away. This would be great on this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Well he doesn't "need" to do anything. But as for the notifications yes you need to do the two finger pull down. They disabled the one finger expansion for whatever reason.

Here as well. GPS is working great. In fact, everything is except the previously mentioned unlock stutter every now and then and one weird thing with MMS. When I send a photo and then click on it myself to view the sent image, it's huge and doesn't fit in the screen. But it's apparently fine on the received side, so it's not really a big deal.

You should be able to uninstall/turn off what you don't want or use. I know you don't have to use Google Now if you don't want it. You can also turn off animations in the developers options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Well... all you need to do is add one at a time back. I tried SetCPU and it made no difference for me. Jeboo uses Go Launcher without issue except for the stupid animations it added for the Christmas Holidays.... Not sure what that's all about but that should be user enabled, not automatic. IDK what Statusbar+ is... I'll have to look at that and I haven't used swiftkey since I use Swype.

The added memory is one thing that helps the performance on JB. Its actually utilizing the memory that the phone has. Why cripple it. It makes apps load faster since it gets loaded in cache.

I haven't added any animations but I did add the JB animations to SHOstock2 so that is the same. GoogleNow I leave disabled in the app so all its good for is GoogleSearch.

There won't be a whole lot that changes once released IMO.

Thanks....

In regards to comments about audio upgrades, using voodoo louder isn't going to improve your sound quality, only make it louder which is bad. If it could raise the signal to noise ratio in the actual hardware that's one thing. One important thing would be to enable 24 bit audio playback, without the DAC down converting it to 16 bit.

A couple days ago I flashed 1.6.1 fresh. I even went back to stock (with a safe kernel) to format everything. Most everything worked perfectly - even getting a very fast lock for gps. As soon as I received the first phone call I got the force close of the com.sec.android.flashbarservice (not sure if that is exactly correct) then I hit ok and the call comes through ok. As the call comes in though, it's like the whole phone pauses up for a few seconds. (I tried clearing cache in the app but it did it again)

I'm about to do try a fresh flash of this recent update to see what happens but my question is, will it hurt anything if I go into Apps management and disable this if it happens again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
You go into the app manager and and clear cache. Then disable it is the toggle and reboot. Usually clears it up for me. I keep my toggle disabled until I use it so it never effects me. But if you can get some logcats if the error that would be helpful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:

So I was on 1.6.1, installed 1.6.5 successfully (thanks Sho!). Phone booted up after the install. Played with it a little bit and then went to Task Manager, as soon as I pressed Clear Memory the phone re-booted and never started again. I am able to go to CWM, I re-flashed 1.6.1 but it still won't boot, it is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SII logo. I tried restore (Restore System) and it said Restore completed but it still won't boot.

Any idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I just tried that.... no issue. Doesn't make sense but I think you'll have to full wipe.

Oddly enough why do you feel the need to clear the memory. All it does is make apps start slower which in turn makes the phone feel sluggish and in turn usually uses more battery.

Hope you get it running quickly.

if you just flashed the latest, remember that a new kernel version was included so it may take a few days for that to settle in.

Nope. Gonna find the 1.4 SiRFgps.conf and see if that helps. If not I'll do another full wipe. If still no dice I'll try AOKP again to rule out hardware. Was working prior to SHOstock, but he's got to be something in overlooking. I'm in no way blaming the ROM/kernel :)

Can someone please help me....huge problem! I know I have seen something about charging issues before but I can't search because I am at work and I don't want to risk getting caught.

Here is the deal, I was on 1.6.1 and all was fine. I downloaded 1.6.5 before I left for work and updated without wipe at work (after verifying MD5 of course). It flashed fine and seems to be working fine except for one major problem...the second I plug it in to a charger it turns off and the battery charging indicator shows for a second then disappears, then comes back and disappears, and on and on like that. As soon as I unplug it from the charger it turns itself back on and works fine again. If I shut the phone down first and then plug it into the charger it does the same thing and turns itself on when I unplug it.

I just saw your v1.6.5 update (thanks! :good:), I will try it again this weekend. How do you disable Google Now? When I hit the search button (hard key) it pops up, and it kept showing me traffic ETA when I enable GPS. I enabled it to test it out and it ended up taking 25MB+ of RAM when I wasn't using it. Don't bother looking at Statusbar+, I don't think it works on JB because of how the new notification dropdown looks. That's not your fault, or anything you could fix anyway. SetCPU works because I can underclock when idle and overclock when I'm using GPS or web browsing, etc.. That's fine though, it has very little footprint. A few other things kept opening too, like Google maps and Swipe when I don't even use it. (I can't remember the rest).

I have all of this running right now on SHOStock2, with >300MB free. But when I do the same thing on v3, I have less than 100MB free, and then everything just get's really laggy.

Yes, hats off to Sho, all of the ROM's he has made are fantastic! :victory:

I just flashed 1.6.5 and I was using it and it suddenly turned off. Now I can't get the phone to boot up anymore. when I press the power button, it shows the battery icon in the center of the screen and it does this whether its plugged in or not and whether I just press the power button or hold it down. I have no idea how to turn it back on :( Help! thanks!

*UPDATE

I got it to turn on by taking the battery out and putting it back. I think I found the problem. My power button doesnt work anymore, i cant lock the screen or open up the power menu but my phone works fine. It was working just this morning how should I fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
George, get into recovery via the 3 button combo. Full wipe, flash the ROM that u were previously on. Re-download latest shostock. Full wipe, flash. Should be fine.

Or try holding power for 10 seconds first. Worth a shot.

Sho, here's the aokp GPS results: (I know I know, picture would have worked but to me it just doesn't tell the story properly. Also, crappy weather, cloudy, might explain my ish signals but still... its working.)
