Never mind mistake on my end, I was just flashing the mods, I thought they would flash the ROM, I ****ing love the new ripple lockscreen, it's absolutely fantastic, thanks.

Edit: the ROM seems to be running noticeably smoother than v2.0 with AJK 4.9 and the same gov settings, I don't know what could be the cause but I sure don't complain.

Actually ever since the 320 they have been nearly unmatched on android (well the N10 had a more powerful Mali but only that device has it)

Now with the 330 they have clearly the best mobile GPU ever (sadly it's very likely that they'll be beaten when the new iPad comes)

And yeah it was really ahead of it's time, this device was so much better than anything the competition had to offer that it was ridiculous.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JediDwight:
I have been trying to troubleshoot what sounds like the same problem. My i777 works great usually for days. At some point after I sleep the screen by hitting the power button and look away, something causes the battery to get hot and the battery drains quickly. The battery drains and the phone shuts off without any warning beeps. Today I caught it quickly after it started and it only lost about 7% battery. It had a black screen and I had to hold the power button for 10 seconds to get it to reboot. Then it was bootlooping on the kernel splash screens: SGS II and "Google". Then I pulled the battery and got it to boot up normally, although the touch screen was unresponsive until maybe a minute after it booted up. And then it behaves just great? I've got this with Cooked 1.8/AJK 4.3ns Cooked 1.9/AJK 4.5ns and Cooked 2.0/AJK 4.8ns was today. I got a new Samsung battery off of eBay so I was worrying about that, and worrying about my USB charging board replacement being involved. But now I think maybe I will try a stock ROM like Cooked 1.2 to see how it goes. If anyone else is experiencing this I hope this helps with with the dialogue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Have you considered getting a logcat of this? It would be very helpful.

When you installed the rom, before rebooting the system, did you reboot the recovery and reset stweaks profiles followed by fixing permissions?

Have you made any adjustments in stweaks at all? If so, w what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JediDwight:
>Have you considered getting a logcat of this? It would be very helpful.

OK, I got LogCat Extreme from XDA and the SysLog app off of the Play Store. Does this LogCat have to be running logging constantly in the hopes my problem will pop up? I've also got BetterBatteryStats.

I'd tried looking for the last_kmsg file but it wasn't present.

>When you installed the rom, before rebooting the system, did you reboot the recovery and reset stweaks profiles followed by fixing permissions?

Yes, with each new Cooked upgrade I rebooted into recovery and reset the stweaks profiles. Fixing permissions was only indicated on the kernel install instructions, so since the kernel is included and that wasn't in the Cooked install instructions, I didn't do the fix permissions. I reinstalled all of my apps for each upgrade.

>Have you made any adjustments in stweaks at all? If so, w what?

No, and no overclocking, just stock behavior.

I'll look at this again tomorrow. I'm still going back reading about Cooked 1.2 and 1.3 for now.

Following up with my mysterious battery drain problem, I have been on the stock UCMD8 4.1.2 ROM for like 3 weeks and it has worked reliably. I love the customizations with Cooked, but it didn't quite cut it. (I miss the battery notification icon most.) I used Framaroot to root and despite the bloatware I ignore, hey, I'm running alright. I can't prove it was a rogue app doing this, so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
If there were any battery drain issues on Cooked then it would be affecting everyone who uses Cooked. Any issue will affect everyone, never just 1 person.

Cooked does not have any battery drain issue.

Please use the search function and find out how to use BBS (which is available for free here on XDA) and you can find your rogue app(s) within a day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Absolutely agree. Not only is there not an issue, this ROM gets better bat life than any other I've tried.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I cannot find anything that stands out to me as the issue. It looks like you removed an app and it screwed up your permissions. It seems a lot of errors are referencing "gallery3d".

If your phone is an I777 use the Mobile Odin app and flash this kernel-

AJK-4.9NS.tar.md5 - 8.01 MB

That is Aj Newkirks AJK kernel and it includes CWM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I took a quick look thru your log, and from my quick glance I see:

NFC is on at least some of the time - is that even supported in Cooked?

Many permissions issues of unknown origin but may be connected to Badoo(?)

Some issues that appear to be related to Badoo - this creates and/or mounts a secure storage container for some reason?

Some program(s) trying repeatedly to call home but is unable to connect.

This keeps system resources lower than normal and consumes memory & CPU cycles.

Some issues with a program called Viggle

If I find myself at home for some time this weekend then I will try to look deeper into this log.

Hi,

I installed this excellent ROM but i lost root.

I'm coming from PAC MAN ROM. I had originally rooted my phone way back using the Galaxy_S Unlock app by Helroz https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock

After i installed this ROM i can no longer use a t-mobile SIM in this phone :(

Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
Seeing that the phone is going on three years old. I would just call the service provider and have them unlock it for you. Also if you need a quick way to root just download Framaroot v1.4.2 apk from XDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:

Hi sorry, i typed "root" in error. I know i confused you. I did NOT lose root, i lost my SIM unlock.

I have the unlock code from at&t but it never worked for me. I'm guessing because i was already on AOKP ROM when i tried the unlock code provided by at&t. So i used the app mentioned above by HELROZ and it worked for me. It unlocked my phone immediately. My phone would remain unlocked even when i updated AOKP several times. It also remained unlocked when i moved to PACMAN ROM. When i installed this ROM i lose unlock.

I tried to unlock it again using Galaxy_S unlock by Helroz but it didn't work this time even after several attempts :(

Not sure what to do. I tried the code provided by at&t again just in case, but it didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
That code won't work unless you restore the original backup you made the first time you used the unlock app first. Search xda for GalaxSim Unlock. It's what is needed to unlock on stock based JB.

Hot boot will not work. The kernel doesn't support it. You have to do standard reboot

No it shouldn't. The battery stats could have just been off from sitting idle for so long. You may have had 10% battery left if the phone had stayed at idle with the screen off, but once you started using the phone that changed how much power was being consumed. But the battery thing is a very common issue with these phones. You should be careful not to let the battery fully discharge.
