OK so have several backups of different ROMs. Is there a way to tell which one is the back up for this one?

Sent from my SGH-S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
No.

You should start naming them when you make them. I've been using "online nandroid backup" for a while. Before that I was using the old CWM app. Names make them much easier to keep track of.

Is there a way to disable MTP service permanently ? I got USB debugging enabled , but MTP always pop up when connecting to USB. It used to show USB mass storage .

PS: I also force USB mass storage mode in Stweak, but MTP still pops up , so weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
It shouldn't be showing up as MTP if you have it set as mass storage.

I'm guessing you have "Auto mount USB drives" checked right below where you selected to force mass storage. That will make it mount your sd cards automatically when you plug your phone into a computer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abced123:
I know, it was fine for months as USB mass storage. Yah, I also got the "auto-mount" checked, but the phone always shows as 2 drives in windows explorer when usb is connected ( as mass storage )

Anway, I got a new problem now, wonder if you know a way to fix :) I tried to fix permission, then reboot. The phone had bootloop at the 4 circles logo. Then, I did a nanddroid backup, tried both wipe /data and reflash. The phone works fine , but as soon as I did the backup from /data, it got bootloop again.

1) Is there a way to do a manual or partial back up from /data ? for eg. copying each app/folder back to the phone will work ?

2) Definitely, something broken in /data , but what is the culprit which could make the phone bootloop ? I thought /data cant mess up the system at all though.

PS: got it sorted out now, NandDroid Manager let me do partial/selected app+data back up from CWM backup files....I think it was Stweak problem, showed USB mass storage setting, but the actual is default (MTP); similar with cpu voltage.

Anyway, what is the best governors awake/sleep for this ROM ? zzmoove still gives me some random SOD or reboot, but it s smoother than others.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Nope. Seeing as you're the only one with this issue it's not being caused by this ROM.

It sounds like a bad charging port. But I would try a different USB cable first as it could be bad.

I've not had problems charging, but I have noticed that certain profiles will change the charging current, which could result in issues. I actually just installed this last night and I do love it versus stock JB. But I had to really mess with stweaks to get it where I wanted it. Anyway, all up and running good now.

Issues with charging ....

You should first try some of charging current app's from market and see what caused....issues. ...

This kernel support charging current application. ..

So your cable or charger is giving up....or you using 5.2 volts charger that will cause this issue:o

Battery

Hi,

With CM10 I used batteries from GT-I9100. With this ROM it is possible but it is impossible to charge battery when phone is off.

It means that when battery gone I cannot charge it within phone, must to take it to external charger.

My wife has GT-I9100, so it is inconvenient to have two sets of spare batteries.

Can it be fixed ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Don't think so; batteries for the i9100 aren't fully compatible with i777's, which is why you're having charging issues. There are a few threads in the 'Accessories' forum dedicated to batteries that will work for you - your best best is to search there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
He just mentioned he has used batteries for the i9100 on his i777. It is a TouchWiz thing. My phone says charging paused while on CM11, it doesn't give that message when my charger is connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ivbsd1:
As I said, I used I9100 batteries for more than one year without any problem with different CM versions. It means - it can be fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Of course you can use them, you're just not going to get 100% functionality (as in the charging issue he described).

What the two of you failed to understand is that I said "fully compatible". This means you're not likely to have everything go perfectly, regardless if it worked previously.

No matter, hope you find a solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ivbsd1:
What you failed to understand is that I said - I did not have this specific charging issue with CM and I9100 battery. My opinion, this issue is major.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Then use CM, and take your complaints elsewhere. This ROM is based on I777 software. It not being compatible with I9100 hardware is your issue not mine.

Hello, I have a quick question. Recently, my S2 has been performing not very well. Apps crush almost all the time, plus it gets frozen a lot, meaning it prevents me from turning it on to check if I get texts on the lock screen so I always have to take battery out of my phone and put it back in to "restart." It happens almost very everyday. Any helps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Well that doesn't sound very good at all. Can you maybe give us a little bit more information? Are you using this ROM? Is it the current version? Have you changed any kernel settings? Have you flashed anything "iffy" lately?

That is definitely not normal behavior as this ROM has been more than stable for everyone that I've heard from. Since nobody else has reported anything like this, it has got to be something wrong on your end. I'd be glad to help but more info is needed.

Sent from my SGH-S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheCam91:
Okay thank you for the response. I have been using this ROM for good several months, that's why I came here. I never did anything to the kernel settings and I haven't flashed anything as well. The apps that tend to crash on my phone are FB, Instagram and untappd. Maybe GS2 is getting old for those very recent updated apps which are updated for newer phones? In order to fix my phone, maybe I should clean the junk files from the previous ROMs I flashed and reflash Mr. Cook ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I don't know what to tell you. That should not be happening. I use this phone as my dd and my apps don't crash like that. Maybe wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions...?

I'm using v1.2, and the formatting of internal/external storage is not working through the Settings -> Storage menu. I do see messages that indicate they are being unmounted, but files I place there purposely to test remain after the format. Also, if I do this while plugged into Win7 (MTP), the folders for the phone never close, so I'm wondering if the unmount really happens.

I can format them through CWM which was flashed with the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
I would do a complete wipe and up date to the latest cooked its awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I don't think you're going to get much help from anyone here with such an old version of this ROM. Not because we don't want to but because nobody remembers and they're not downgrading just for that.

Free advice: If you're going to run custom development on your phone, stay up to date and keep up with the developer's forum. Otherwise you get this situation you have here. I don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful, that's just the way it is.

Upgrade to 2.2 and get back with us :thumbup::)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skaziwu:
No offense taken, but I would offer a bit of a counter argument. For various reasons, there will always be some people that will want to run stock. But, unfortunately, I don't think there has been any definitive proof that the latest Samsung ROMs don't contain the emmc issue in their kernels. Sadly, my phone is susceptible.

AFAIK, this is the only stock UCMD8 ROM with a safe kernel available. So, I'd be pretty surprised if I was the only person reading this thread using 1.2 currently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
1.2 is essentially 100% stock so this issue may be Samsung related. If you plan on staying on 1.2 I would recommend at least updating to the latest AJK NoSwap kernel. There were huge kernel improvements since v1.2 was released.

Sent from my SGH-S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skaziwu:
Actually, I'm a little confused by this. With this 1.2 ROM, the string I see in About Device, Kernel version is:

3.10.0-R93-AJK_v4.9_NoSwap-
root@DevDistro #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 26 06:13:21
EDT 2013

Which, I believe is the latest version. Prior to 1.2, I had flashed 2.2. Is it possible the kernel was not reflashed when I went to 1.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Yes it's very possible. In some of the early versions I had accidentally deleted the flash image from the ROM zip which was needed to successfully flash the kernel.

Is there a way to add ripple lockscreen to the fully stock one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
No, and maybe yes. It's a pretty simple mod to the android.policy.jar, and settings app. But to do the mod they need to be deodexed. Which then in turn would need to be "re"odexed for the stock version. I know that it's possible, but I've never looked into re-odexing anything. Plus I won't be able to test it (I'm not going back to the stock version).

It would be very easy on version 1.3. If I have some spare time I will look into it for version 1.2.

It's happened about 7 times (that I've noticed), always when the phone is asleep (again, I'm not watching it, so it could be as it goes to sleep).

If you formatted "system" that could be the reason it can't get the build.prop. You may need to actually boot and let your caches/data build before it can be accessed.

It has been working well. I also use the terminal simulator with su to delete the stuff in the /data/lost+found to release some memory. I tried ART, the free memory shrank from 1gb to 600mb, so I reverted back to dalvik. Once thing I am missing is the options of Trebuchet. I used to configure the home screen to 5x5 so I can put more icons on it. The option is missing from the cm11's Trebuchet. I am too lazy to install xposed, so just need to get used to it.
