You dont need a different CWM recovery. It will not effect the functionality of the phone when it is booted at all.

As far as data goes, thats really determined by area you live in and what tower you're on. You can flash the I777UCMD8 modem (in the op of the 959g thread) and that may help. Also on your straight talk apn go down to APN type and where it says "default,supl,mms" add ",hipri" (i assume it's short for high priority). Anyways make it say

default,supl,mms,hipri

with no spaces. Reboot. Im not entirely convinced that this makes mobile data faster but i can say that since ive been using that i have not been throttled once.

Dont worry about unlocking your phone unless you want to switch carriers to like tmobile or something. If youre going to stay with straight talk there's no need to do that.

Cyanogen 10.1 is a rom. Dont flash that if you want to stay on COOKED v1.4. IF you do then you would be running Cyanogen 10.1

EDIT:Just as a reference, my mobile data is usually around 2mbs on speedtest.net but it may fluctuate anywhere from 1-6 mbps. It just depends on the amount of traffic on your tower.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Thank you added the hipri. I use this phone more then my laptop now so data really gets used alot.

is there any way to delete the 2 apn's that come with this rom every time I restart phone it goes to the first one in the list? and if you hit the reset to default it deletes the one I create. Or a way to make the one you create the default or edit the first one maybe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I can't get them to delete. Idk why it would revert back to the first one on the list when you reboot. Mine does not do that... Let me tinker with it and see if i can figure it out

Edit: does your apn list look like this?

How is the GPS reliability & lock time on this ROM.. ShoStock 3.0.2 Jeboo 1.3b+. Is having issues with reliability and locking times.

I think the GPS issues must be hardware related. These phones seem to have random unexplainable GPS issues across all ROMs and kernels. I have not touched anything related to the GPS, it's just as it was from Samsung. The only real fix for it is to leave the GPS on all the time, and if it messes up try cycling it off and on, or a reboot.

great rom story continues

OK, a good long while on 1.4 and everything is working very well! -Still an excellent rom.

I have nothing to tweak or fix or ask about! :D

Battery life is very nice, my GPS works as well as any Samsung GPS will ever work (meaning generally great, but sometimes (rarely) requiring a reboot to kick start).

This thread is kind of quiet, which is the sign that a Rom is working well :laugh:

I don't know about others, but I am in that sweet spot where I am using my phone more than tweaking it!

It's a good place to be! So thanks again Mr. Cook!

Like it says in the changelog Multi-Window isn't working yet, but I didn't want to pull it from the release. It's easier to keep track of one version than to make a separate one for you guys. I will continue trying to fix it, but don't hold your breathe. Everything is way different than the I9100. This isn't just a copy and paste ROM.

I'm curious about the installation of this rom. After flashing should you reboot recovery reset profiles and fix perms or is this unnecessary? I'm confused about that...

And what if you're coming from say jeebo kernel. You would have to reboot recovery... Right?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I wouldn't think any of that would be necessary, as everything is wiped during the install. I believe the profile is stored in data which is wiped, and the permissions are set during the install. As far as coming from jeboo's kernel the install should be the same.

I know that's one he's working on along with several other features. This rom is a lot different from the ones that are just ported from the I9100. They're pretty much made to order but this one he is modified from scratch.

In the meantime you could download rom customizer. It's free and it has a nice 4 way reboot widget. Plus it's very handy for flashing and handling system apps among other things.

Does anyone have problem with tethering? I can't tether .So, I deleted the tethering provision.apk .Is there a way to get wi-fi tethering to work in this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] markbc01:
Hi

I tested my tethering and it's working fine. Actually, it did not start the first time I tried it after configuring, but restarting the service (turning tethering on and off) got it going perfectly. (I read & replied to your post on my KFTT using my phone tether!)

Not sure about deleting any app, I don't think you need any 3rd party tethering apps since (as you probably already know) tethering is built into the system, just go into system settings/more settings (below WiFi ) for tethering options.

Edit: just tried it again, while it shopping with the wife. initially I received an error message after first getting a "verifying tethering" message (which btw I don't recall receiving in other custom Roms ??). The message told me to call 611 to verify tethering (yikes that can't be good)! However, after restarting the tethering option again, it worked normally...

(These days my plan including tethering, but my older plan was...different. . .so I don't think this is Rom related....but the Rom does seem to feed into the authorized att network)

????? Oh, but I also have a question about NFC please!

I just searched this thread and it did not seem to come up with any mention of NFC! (or I may be getting lame in my search skills! ;). . .

Could someone please help tell me where is the NFC setting in the Cooked Rom? I fiddled with the phone in all the likely places, but the NFC setting is eluding me. Thanks in advance! (Today is the first day in a while I wanted to use one of my NYC tags!). Even without figuring out where NFC is, this is a really solid, (great battery life) problem-free Rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
That is a place holder for all your partial wakelocks. See what is causing them and that will go down.

As a side note mine also shows up fairly high on the kernel wakelock list but it is usually less than one percent which is very reasonable. It just looks bad because it's at the top and that bar is nearly full. That doesn't necessarily mean it's causing problems it's just the highest on the list compared to all the others.

I don't know how to troubleshoot this one. If it's an app-related issue, it's something that conflicts with this ROM as I pretty much have the same apps running under ShoStock and don't see any SOD.
