Go in stweaks under the screen tab. Adjust the battery move filter E up from 12. Try it one increment at a time. I set mine at 15.

Be sure it is the bat move filter "E". There is another one that does not do anything.

This is in the op of the Ajk thread

This 1.8 + AJK is very impressive... even smoother than Task or slimBean with AJK ( only 2 I have used so far )

Btw, does anyone feel the brightness in this ROM is brighter than other custom ROMs, i have the same settings in Stweaks and auto brightness though.

[MENTION=873347] Cook[/MENTION] : can you add flashlight and screenshot support to power menu or pulldown widget as AOSP ROM... then it s perfect :p Also, is it possible to remove the notification when charging is full (cable still plugged in), it shows 2 power symbols left/right on status bar, just a bit annoying, but no big deal .Thanks

Anyone know how to turn on the auto, Autocorrect? so it automatically changes your misspelled or misstyped word to the first choice if the spacebar is hit and you can hit del to bring it back if you want? I have had that in Android since the beginning and you dont realize just how much you mistype things untill its gone... I did check autocorrect in the keyboard settings tab but it still does not do it... I scimmed all the posts I didn't see anybody else talking about it (maybe I missed it? Maybe Im the only one with this problem?) Even downloaded keyboards wont auto autocorrect...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Samsung roms generally won't include it, because they use their own keyboard. All AOSP-based roms have it.

I'm still running 1.7 (I'm traveling tomorrow and don't want to mess with things at the moment). I installed it using fresh wipe as specified. Twice in the last couple of days, my phone has gone off the deep end. It happens when I'm not even using it. It gets really hot and burns through the battery. When I finally notice, I have to hold the power button to get it to restart and it comes up with almost no battery. Has anyone seen anything similar to this? Is there any way to go look at what might be causing this after the fact given that I'm forced to do a hard power start? I'm a bit worried about having this happen while I'm traveling and away from a power source.

Thanks again for the great rom.

What are you adding after the fresh install? Sounds to me like something is going crazy on your phone.

Be sure that you go into recovery->kernel specific options and reset profiles as that may well be the cause of your problems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bartoss:
I ran into a few issues that I would like to address.

1st I cant seem to change the keyboard from sammy (stock) to google keyboard on a permanent basis. It reverts back to sammy after a screen timeout of longer than 2 minutes. I have changed it in lang &input and I feel like I have done all the necessary basic steps.

2nd my phone powers off every time i drop it. I have a pretty durable case so I dont worry about aesthetic damage but that issue has not popped up with any other ROM I installed and there has been plenty.

The dropping part isnt dire but the google keyboard is something thats crucial in my daily driver function.

I installed the ROM as instructed. Although, a couple pages back someone reffered to wiping preload as well. I couldnt seem to find that option in cwm and I assumed that it gets wiped automatically during new Rom installation. This is my second time I reinstalled the rom(to confirm) that it wasnt a bad install.. might be a bad download though so if anyone has some input please let me know.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Sounds like you don't have the Google keyboard set as your default, should be a simple enough fix.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bartoss:
I have set it to default routinely the past 2 days and hasn't stuck. It still reverts after a screen timeout. If no one is experiencing anything similar I guess I'll try a reflash..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I use Kii keyboard and it stays in default. Never had it do that with this version or any other

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

I would highly recommend to those having problems with this rom to reflash the kernel following the required install instructions from the op and the AJK thread. If the kernel is not installed exactly the way it says, AJ has specifically said you WILL have problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
The only way this could possibly be happening is either a VERY bad flash or if you have a 3rd party program that is doing things while the screen is off. Nothing in this ROM, including the kernel, has anything to do with switching keyboards when the screen is off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bartoss:
Yeah I think my download was warped in some way. Ran into a couple more issues including nit being able to "fix permissions" where it would turn off and go into boot loop.. redownloading and reflashing.. crazy thing is thst the rom worked well even with these issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Whizzpopper:
I always reboot into recovery after flashing any rom and reset stweaks and repair permissions as per AJ's instructions. This rom has a script that resets stweaks, but I did it myself anyway... This. might save a few of you some trouble.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I use Google Keyboard and haven't had any problems with it. Did you set it as default from the phones settings menu? Just selecting it from pulling down the statusbar won't set it as default. Also make sure you don't have Greenify killing it, or the kill background processes selected in the developer options.

That message always displayed for me after a clean thorough wipe. Don't be alarmed, it's normal.

As for greenify, do NOT greenify apps that are important like the keyboard or email apps that you need on a daily basis. Greenify YouTube and others, here's an example. 3rd photo shows apps I do not want Greenified since I still want my emails from Yahoo & Facebook notifications. I did not Greenify Google Voice either since I use it's voicemail feature.

I've noticed no notable difference in battery life with this rom as opposed to Shostock3. I watch my bbs stats and nothing looks different.

Thanks for a Great Rom Choice!

Thank you for this rom! :good::good:

I have been on Shostock3 for ages, but for the past couple of weeks was in CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies (which are really nice now btw). Still, I had to try this rom out and it is excellent!

I added back email from a TIBU backup and it works well -but I am getting the occasional error stating can't connect to MS Exchange (or something like that ;) Still emails in and out are both working

--I just read your recommended fix, Mr. Cook, and will try that in the morning.

Battery life is better than CM10.1, but I can't tell yet whether it is better than SS3 --need a bit more time on it. Anyway, I can tell battery life is good -regardless!

It is really weird seeing an ATT logo on boot up. . . that kind of scares me :)

Also, on bootup, I get the Samsung logo, then a small spinning circle which freezes, then I get AKJ's rom screen and then the rom starts.

I always felt 4.1.2 has a good feel on this phone and this is no different. The TW is ok, and I seem to be using it more than my old favorite Nova pro.

Not one problem with cameras, or file access, or USB access, or working any apps (aside from the email weirdness). G-R-E-A-T

Thanks Mr. Cook for a nice addition to our choices for great SGH-i777 roms!

I can't wait to see how this can be tweaked to be even better!
