He says it works for all variants now. Been keeping up with there thread. The s5 is supposed to be a HUGE improvement over the s4. I'm kinda glad i didn't get an s4. Everyone I've tried seems just like a bigger version of my s2. Definitely not worth the money for me to upgrade but the s5 is getting some outstanding reviews in testing

Edit: nm i just saw that Odin will not work with a locked boot loader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
It is not a huge upgrade or improvement over the S4. It is marginal at best.

Lol... Now that's funny! Nothing more stable then this bad boy. The amount of downloads prove that.

Also I can't stand the aqua tint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Lol, I had a feeling you'd say that. However, that ROM has not been out as long as this one, so of course it will have less downloads. Doesn't make it less stable in the least. I am running it and it is super stable. No problems whatsoever. However, I do understand that advertising another ROM on this thread is unfair to the developer (you).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
I know there's no question that is a great ROM I've been with it since the very beginning of its development. That's the great thing about Android try as much as you want....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
The way that I understand it, this firmware is about getting an optimized, de-bloated, high-performance, uber-stable experience out of the OEM design.

If that is indeed the case, then theming KitKat to look like touchwiz is completely outside of the scope of this project.

Something like whizzedkat (whiz kat) may be more along the lines of what you're looking for.

Internal SD is in RO mode

Hi,

Running on Shostock 3 V4.0 with bundled kernel.

I have a strange issue on my phone from the last few days. My internal SD card has become Read only mode. When I access the gallery am getting this message "not an (error code 0): could not open the database on read/write mode" When I try to access the files in internal SD card through Root explorer, it still in RO mode. Today I've done a fresh flash of V3.0.2 and V4.0 after performing cooks wipe scripts for ROM, kernel wipe and the factory reset along with the dalvik wipe but to no avail. All the apps are reinstalled from the play store. :mad: Am not able to run some apps which is accessing the internal SD in RW mode.

How to correct this?

Also am not able to send SMS for the past few months, but I can receive the incoming SMS. I've already raised this issue before but I guess it didn't get noticed that time.

I've had this happen to me as well. It's actually happening again now but it rears it's head once a week or so. GPS has been horrible too. Constantly dropping and never keeping a solid connection. I actually tether my captivate(CM11) and use the GPS that way.

I'm about to wipe and redo the SII. I'd suggest also formatting your external. Today the latest Google play store update keeps giving me FC's.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
Thanks for the heads up mate. Problem solved by a format on internal SD card and a full wipe.

But I was in a hurry, instead of formatting the internal SD I formatted the external SD where all my back ups were stored. Now running for a good data recovery software to undo it. Any suggestions.?

But the out going SMS feature is still not working. Any pointers? Is this a hardware issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
As far as SMS issues check your APN settings...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p.chi:
Using your PC, you can try 'Recuva' - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

But be aware, if you've been using the phone, it could've overwritten any deleted files with new data.

Good luck !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Flashvetrin:
Try this app..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

Also if you Google your APN settings for your device you can create a new APN and it should fix your MMS issue.[emoji57][emoji106]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
Thanks for the tip, I fixed it in a hard way like formating the sd card.

It's not the MMS but outgoing SMS which has nothing to do with the APN I guess. I tried the SIM on another phone where it worked. So I guess it could be a hardware issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Flashvetrin:
I may be mistakin but im sure that your accses point same is controlled for inbound and outbound mms sms and data.

Im currently on a rom that has no lte so i had to create that accses point name or apn and my mms and sms was buggy. It took a couple times but i got it.. i remember when i had your phone and same thing happend to me.. lost sms. Google your carrier and create the apn heres an example of the created apn that controls inbound outbound sms data and mms on my device.. hope you get it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
Dude, I've tried all these and the results are the same, no outgoing, only incoming SMS. First I thought its something with the network but when I switched the SIM to another phone (android) it worked perfectly. So that's not a network issue, confirmed. I cross checked the message centre no and other parameters with my phone, all are the same.

I may not be correct but my belief is that its nothing to do with the APN settings as the SMS doesn't depend on internet availability like MMS. Now I've to depend another phone for initiating OTPs for online transactions:mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Flashvetrin:
sorry.. maybe you could flash back to stock and take the device in for exchange..? best of luck.

Hi all,

I would like to increase the device memory partition from 2GB (original) to 4GB.

I've read this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/guide-enlarge-datafs-partition-rid-t2353551 but it is not for i777 and seem to much to my ability.

This question should be posted as a new thread in the Q&A section, since it has nothing to do with this rom. Please observe forum protocol in the future.

I doubt you will find any information that will help you, since I have never seen anything like that for the I777. There was one user from Italy who said he hard bricked his phone trying to do just that. The risk is yours. If this is, as you say, beyond your experience, then you should forget it.

This ROM had a problem with bluetooth tetering

I flashed the SHOstock3 v4.0 and I found a problem when using bluetooth tetering. The ROM is pretty OK but it still has this bug. If you fix this soon, the ROM of you is really fast and cool. Thanks for your hard working. If you have time, please insert Vietnamese language for us, thank you so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Was running CarbonRom for a while, but not really digging the battery drain I get with it in some circumstances. So I decided to come back to ShoStock once again, as I have always been a big fan of this ROM. Honestly, I don't know why I tried something different anyway. This is by far the most stable, smooth ROM for the i777 I have run out of so many.

For some reason this time though, when I enable the AOSP lockscreen, it crashes and reboots on me. It will do the media scan and everything else that it does when booting up, but when I drag it over to unlock the screen, it hangs up and reboots. Never had this issue before.

Should I just download it again, and try another fresh install? I've tried a simple kernel clean, switched kernel to the AJK 4.9 and back to Jeboo 2.3a but still had the same results. It's puzzling because I've never had this happen with the ROM and have always used the AOSP lockscreen option.

UPDATE: Tried a fresh download and install. Worked fine for the first couple of times, then started hanging up on me. Again, this is only with the AOSP locksreen toggled on. Any other way, it doesn't happen. Baffled I am.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Always do a full wipe. The last install I did went as follows:

Fresh Download

Full Wipe

Format Internal Storage

Cook's ROM Wipe

Flash ShoStock

Cook's Kernel Cleaner

I've used ShoStock for a long time off and on. It's always one I keep coming back to, and I always keep it on my external SD. This is the first time I have ever had this problem with the ROM. That's why I'm baffled by it. Is there a way I could get a logcat of when it happens? I wouldn't know what I was looking at, but I'm sure I can message with someone who would know that might would be able to tell me.

I'm using the PIN unlock for now. I just like the AOSP for having the camera, SMS, and Dialer targets on it. So used to it now after running an AOSP ROM for a while.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't know how far you have gone yet, but if you haven't flashed stock yet, then you should just go into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset, and see if that doesn't get you to boot into system. If it works, then you can either stay with what you've got, or install the same or another rom in CWM.

If that doesn't help, then you should probably flash stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, UCMD8, which you can find in the Download Repository. You can find that link in my signature. You can root that with Framaroot and the Aragorn exploit, and install a custom kernel using Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin Pro. Then get back to a custom rom.

If you really want to go back to Gingerbread, then the link for the Siyah kernel is in post #2 in the thread that Cyril linked a single post from. Go to that post, look for the thread link in the upper right corner to get the complete thread, and go to post #2. But that post was all about helping someone with a failed power button get a touch recovery installed, and does not apply to your situation.

btw i tried triangle away but it does not work something about magic header should i flash the rom and kernel then try it or is there another way?

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
You could accomplish this by booting to recovery and simply performing a factory reset. If it were me, because I tend to do extra steps for "just-in-case" reasons, I would manually delete all accounts, then do a factory reset in recovery, but the first method should be enough for what you're trying to achieve.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] santiclaws:
Thanks, Steve. I don't exactly remember how to boot into recovery, although I am sure I can figure it out. I was looking at "factory reset" in the settings menu but I was concerned that would end up resetting the original factory settings. Can I use that reset or is booting into recovery a better option?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
To get into recovery hold both volume keys+power until the Samsung logo flashes, then let go. I believe it's best to do the reset inside recovery because what it does is remove all user data but will leave SHOstock installed, returning it to the way it was when you initially installed it, complete with setup screens.

The factory reset in the settings menu is less reliable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Option 1:

Reboot to recovery

Perform factory reset

Option 2:

Reboot to recovery

manually format /cache

manually format /data

Option 3:

...can be done while booted into touchwiz/android (something like this) but I don't have that firmware to verify at the moment

Just curious if there's anything special I need to know before flashing on the older Galaxy line. Had an S2 briefly (never flashed), then moved to the 3/4/5 and have been tinkering since but figured good to check here first. Everybody still happy with the performance?
