My power button is broken and I just cant get to flash any roms :( need a touch recovery compatible with 4.4 ROMS :(

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

My bad. I'll download the TWRP version. Thanx rogers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WhatsT9:
Was running the 7/25 CM build and the current 7/25 Shift kernel. Went to install the new 7/27 CM, but during the nandroid backup to SD, the phone rebooted to the ROM. Skipped the nandroid this time and installed the new ROM by itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I've had that happen with TWRP before, and then it fail the restore of the data afterwards. I flash the older Shift with CWM to do backups, and then just flash the TWRP newest build back to it. A few more steps, but it works just fine. Just have to wipe dalvic/cache in between kernel flashes and everything goes just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desteele:
TWRP has been giving me fits lately on Nandroids...I'll make one and think I'm good, then try to restore and it basically presents me a clean install of the backed-up install. Vexing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Responding to [MENTION=4024855]WhatsT9[/MENTION] too. I was about to say what TGN here just said. I never run backup so hadn't noticed

That's a really strange issue tho. I have twrp but it's 2.7.2.2 on my note 2 and it's been through AT LEAST 150 backups. Seriously lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I've never really used TWRP until now except for my son's 1st gen Kindle Fire. But I've never backed it up. I only backup once a week or so, so switching back and forth isn't really a big deal for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I can't believe the last cwm I gave you didn't work. Same one from 1.1, no joke. I'll try again later tonight for you when I run a my 50th cortex test build haha but I love it. Haven't been a cwm fan in over a year. I used to love it..... Just feels cheap after twrp. From 2.6.3.0 on, TWRP has killed it and CRUSHED cwm. It really did used to be boss tho, it's a shame really
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I'm driving right now but while I'm thinking about it, anyway ANYBODY here can locate the twrp build source fur this device. If I/and you guys want even a shot at dual boot I have to actually build and mod the recovery. Hey [MENTION=4934593]mr-cook[/MENTION], anyway you could spit some of that dreadfully difficult baksmali/smali knowledge on adding a menu to a menu and how to make the strings call for the correct thing? It's my favorite feature and I have got to get something I really really like into this kernel. Eewww,I know I'm a pain and I'd DUI it myself if extract would work on my build box, but the tips AND a decompiled ajk cwm would help immensely. Just immensely
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
TWRP is definitely more refined than CWM and the UI is great. It's the backups thing that has me hung on using it completely over CWM. Plus, I'm one of those guys that sticks to what he knows best the majority of the time. I'm scared of change :silly:

And send any test build my way you want to. I need something to do during this week :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
TWRP source is in Slim's github.

Smali? Ohg, that sounds like a headache, but I might be able to look at it.

I will also try to look back of that error your having splitting kernels. I have to be missing something. It will probably be tomorrow morning though.

Sent from my SGH-S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Awesome on the source. I was teasing about the smali since we just have source. Ajk recovery just needs split. If I had to baksmali I'm not sure I'd ever actually get to it where as now I really want dual boot and I get to customize a recovery lol

Be updating at some point tonight. Cwm version will be included again as well as some new STweaks stuff. Inching closer to a massive amount of new settings, just not quite there

New builds are up and like I said CWM is back as well ... http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15966

Any issues please report as I want this to be 110% working. Intellidemand does NOT work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Setting speaker amplification to 1 turns speaker off completely on your slimkat 3.5 download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Other settings work tho? Other than 1 of course. That's odd. Don't think I missed anything but all testing was done on slim by razen. He's disappeared tho ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
The other speaker amplification settings are fine just not the 1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
?? that's crazy. I'll look into it. He probably didn't even test 1. I usually use at least 4. I tested old stuff while he tested the new. Thanks for the catch, I appreciate it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I've heard of this happening in other Slim forums not too long ago, but don't see how the rom would be a factor. It could be all in my head. :rolleyes:

Haha. Building AND testing was rough man, almost didn't make it. Plus side, ANOTHER release tonight or tomorrow before I take a much needed little break lol. That's like 3 in a week lol. Minor updates on this one but I'll be reworking STweaks some in preparation for the next installment which will be MASSIVE if I can ever get the damn thing working. Losing sleep and going gray lol. Have to work on porting this kernel to my phone tho and unfortunately I have some TouchWiz work that needs done. Gotta stick to aosp, what was I thinking
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Builds are pretty much ready, just working on a boot logo or animation of some sort. Actually turned out to be a fairly substantial upgrade when you see the things I added. I'm out right now but I'll try to get them up tonight. Be working on gesture support and touch sensitivity next. Been a headache
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
If anybody wants to take a shot at a "need for speed"boot animation for shift, please post them here

Do you have some suggested "defaults" for some of these settings? Not necess. to overclock, but to smooth things up even more?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I'm going to add a profile in the next build with everything I use. There is so much stuff it would be hard for me to tell you but give me until tonight and I'll try to figure out at least some basics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
When I get back this afternoon I'll take some screenshots and post what I use if you want to try them out. Mine runs smooth as can be and really doesn't overclock. My maximum cpu is actually set below the Samsung default. But they are just settings I prefer. Every device is different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desteele:
Thanks to both of you...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
These are the settings I use under the first tab. Everything else not pictured I leave as they are (save the sound tab). Keep in mind as well that I also use Seeder so I cannot say these will be smooth on your phone. I've never tried it without Seeder.

OK, new builds are up folks. Few more things in STweaks. I added my profile but for some reason it's not working at the moment but I'll work on it. I also fixed the twrp backup issue with data. This needs tested so please somebody report as I can't test anything i777 specific. THANKS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WhatsT9:
Just installed the 4.6 TWRP version, rebooted to recovery, and tried a full backup. The phone rebooted at some point (pretty quickly, too).Tried another backup, this time omitting the DATA partition, and also got reboot. Before the second backup attempt, I pulled the log file from TWRP, but I'm not sure that includes the content from the failed backup. The last thing in the log file seems to be the request to pull the log file. If you'd like, I can provide that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
That would be great actually. If things go my way tho today neither of these recoveries will be included anymore as it will come with only one BUT it will not disappoint I can assure you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WhatsT9:
Well, that sounds exciting. Here's that recovery log, for what it's worth -
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gabes Dad:
Installed the latest 4.6 build along with the CM 11 M 9 build. Everything seems to work well, except I needed to use a third-party BusyBox installer to update busybox so that the crontab tasks would work. Is this normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
No that is not normal. Ive tested these extensively and that's not happened to me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Thanks for the info. I'll update busybox to be safe but not happened to me either. Strange
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
There are new builds up. Some random fixes and twrp. I backed up data twice with it successfully. The first time I watched it completely. Second I didn't messing with the computer. It rebooted after awhile but still produced a successful data backup as I then restored both of them one by one. I have a new recovery for this as well that's available if you want it, just ask. I'll add it next time as it'll probably be what's included

Right on [MENTION=5294352]cyril279[/MENTION]. I actually did remove interactive and and I looked at another standard included one to remove as well but started having some crazy builds issues (unrelated) and reset --hard and then forgot to change it again because I had like 4 hours of work GONE and good work too, not some feature nonsense. I'll be sure to correct this tonight as soon as a get home and post the new builds. When I add the kernel to flash on my device WITH the kernel is when I encountered the issue since I have a separate partition so now I can effectively test. Thanks for looking out, for real. I did look around but didn't find much. Even contacted entropy512 for suggestions. Bet same damn issue messed up the new touch recovery I built from source specifically for this just so I KNEW the recovery was spot on and my twrp is from Mr cook and knew it was good too. Thanks a lot, that log showed more than mine did. Mine didn't have all that at all. Awesome. Just great looking out man

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Dual Boot support on the horizon.... Planned to be done but nothing goes my way with this thing. Very very close to having the recovery perfect, then probably have to integrate some kernel stuff to make it all work as should. Either way I'll release the recovery when it's the way I want it. It will be worth the wait I can assure you. Many aroma features built it and some other awesome recovery features

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
FINALLY. Builds are up. Take a few to set up the recovery under GUI settings as you'll need to I'm sure. Color, height text background, maybe some other stuff is there as well. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15966

Thank you very much. Compiled from source. Wasn't easy lol but gave me dual bout options with a hack from another developer. It's not working as of now but recovery working great.

Please forgive the newbie questions as I'm still new to this scene.

I just flashed this shift kernel onto the M9 build and I'm wondering if anything needs to be configured to get

the best battery life out of my phone.

I did find the "Extreme Battery" in the profiles of ST Tweaks , is there anything else I should set?

I also use Greenify and DS battery saver. Do I need these anymore with this shift?

Thanks!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
The biggest thing to know is that every device is different. What works best for mine may not for you and vice versa.

You can search the forums about different governors and schedulers and how they work, then just play with it until you find something that works best for you.

I still use Greenify mainly to keep unwanted background processes from keeping a wakelock and draining the battery. Not a bad app to keep around. Look into BetterBatteryStats as well. Good for knowing exactly what's up with your battery

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
Thank you sir for that info.

I will have to play around. I took off the ds battery and left greenify.

I'll see how that goes for now. I noticed DS had alot of wakelocks.

Kernel has a logger for BBS as well. Just tinker. Get a Boot loop just reflash the kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
This is my first time flashing a shift kernel. I usually stay stock and then over-load it with the apps I like to use.

I am liking it so far. did notice a performance increase right away.

Quick question, will the s2 kernel ever be updated to version 3.4 like the 2013+ phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Could be but Samsung will never release updated source for this phone making it extremely difficult and almost impossible and I for one will not be putting that kind of time into doing it. Device is too old for it to really matter anyway. Tell Samsung to give me the source and I'm on it LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Terr20114:
K bro, but lemme admit your kernel rocks, i just installed the latest one today and with s tweaks running at 1.3Ghz OC i got an antutu score of 1700+ (screenshot in next post) awesomeness.

Ill definitely be donating to this project
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Terr20114:
Here's the score. And don't mind the Gt-i9100 in my signature. Just using a Intl S2 rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
That's awesome man. Been meaning to add a link, just keep forgetting. That's a hell of a score tho. Always glad to see continued use. I knew when I started it device war older so less users but s2 community is just awesome. Needed an advanced KK kernel as well. Glad you like it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Terr20114:
The s2 has a great community, even the original galaxy S still has a great community. Keep up the awesome job, this kernel I'll recommend to everyone and trust me you'll have great support from us s2 users 100%

Hey... When I first saw this kernel name I thought of a car going fast and shifting gears, want me to do send artwork for shift kernel that you can add at the start of the thread? I'm a graphic designer.

That would be awesome. Hit me if you ever need help with the boot animation. Pretty good at after effects and autodesk Maya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
I just messed with the hue, hope you don't mind.

For a boot animation idea, use that picture and have a twinkle light go across all the letters of shift kernel.

Another idea, just have "loading..." Fade in and out on a space that won't block the graphic too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Yea well that would be great actually. I never mess with imaging really because I dont have the time and it's a little consuming. It's for my rom, it's cm11 based, just want to have it start exactly the same but then like poison gas swirls over it turning it green and the head into a skull with crossbones are something. Need 2 sizes tho, one for this and one for note 2 which is 720x1280. I'll eventually get to it just keep putting it off lol. Name from CyanogenMod to CyanideMod as well

Well the kernel actually only uses an image. It replaces the Samsung part of boot. The actual animation is ROM

Loading idea would work tho, just need to set aside some time. Wanna need with kernel anyway. Have new version that will boot but cm and slim ROMs so no need to have 2 different versions anymore. Also new version will have updated recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chowland1967:
new version of the shift?? gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!!! lol
