Oh I am positive anymore my phone is just haunted. It's all good. Just got home, battery charger is here, battery is in it, let ya's tomorrow if works charging the phone when it has life in battery. I am sure it will work. So now I will have an OEM battery, and 2 aftermarket 2800maH batteries...

Exactly! I'll flash new build tonight, see how it goes. Replacement battery came in mail. It works and charges fine. Wall charger for the other battery should be here today. I'll update when I get it. Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

Since the latest build on Sunday I am not able to use/select search websites? Example: footlocker.com, in the search bar I type in a shoe and hit search on either the keyboard or button site. They both do nothing. This is happening everywhere. Anyone else with this issue or should I just take...

So then I just got to get the dead battery charged off the phone. That's what I was thinking since it was charging in the phone when it still had charge in it. Gonna order a charger thingy off of ebay soon...

I just read HERE that the batteries are different. The i777 has NFC, i9100 does not. The NFC antennae is built into the i777 batteries by Samsung. That really shouldn't make a difference on charging though should it?

I'm on the old battery. It charges fine. Maybe I should try it again. I didn't flash your kernel today yet after I flashed the ROM. "I've seen stranger things!" :D Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

But it worked for a few days til I ran it dead. Now it won't charge? Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

Everything I have ever seen says the i9100 and the i777 use the same battery (and most of the same parts) so thats why I got it. And in the listing, it said it was for both, but the battery says for the i9100 which is mostly the overseas version and the battery is made in Japan so maybe thats...

I tried a wall charger and 2 USB cables to my PC. They all did the same thing. Here's a pic of the battery... Now please dont tell me this battery won't work with the phone! Stock battery is 1650mAH, this is 2800mAH, hence why it was bought, nearly twice the power and the phone probably...

Well that "new" battery I got took a crap on me already! Phone went dead the other night and when I went to charge it, the screen was flashing the battery sign and the touch buttons were flashing alternately to the battery. Is there something I dont know about here or is it just a bad battery...

What EXACTLY is a clean install for a kernel? I got adaway. That's working fine so far and it doesn't show in my status bar! Happy Camper here :)! Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

Well I did a clean install 3x, updated BusyBox and nothing changed. Still says no internet connection (on wifi as well). I looked in the system/xbin directory and I got the wget file. I really want ad-block... I HATE ADS! :D Hopefully you can get this fixed. Thanks!

All the best to your son my friend! Still having major battery drain 3 weeks later. Got a new battery waiting in the mail at home. If that doesn't change things, think it's time to upgrade to an S4 or back to ShoStock. We'll see. Thanks for all your work! Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA...

I try to update ad-blocker in STweaks, and it says I have no internet connection... help?

The ST SGH-S959G version. I understand where you are going with this. It hasn't been the S959G since a week after I bought it. I know it probably matters but then its almost tomato / tomatoe! I went through mr cook's thread again... The apps disappearing is cured by moving them back onto the...

Yes I'm using the stock launcher. I said Dev Options cause I had this problem with Shazaam specifically doing the same thing on ShoStock JB a year and a half ago. The other app that keeps disappearing is XDA (on my home screen anyway). I know a bunch have disappeared on screen #2 but I don't...

It was there when I plugged a data cable into my laptop (also where I always charge my phone). On the lockscreen, the headsup notification had a box there saying dev options is on, so I turned it off. Now its no where to be found. I believe when I had it hooked to my laptop, when dev options...

1 - Where the F is Developer Options hiding? I turned it off earlier and now I cant find it to save my life? Been through settings like 5x with and without data cable plugged in to PC. 2 - Shazaam and other app icons are disappearing from the home screen. I know for a fact this has something...

I wiped everything 3x before installing the latest build. Battery seems to be much better. 3 hours off charger, lost 13%. That's a plus to me. Also, what's the difference between SlimSaber and SlimKat? Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

That's what I did. I always wipe EVERYTHING! I thought there might be more to it that I didn't know about? Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

Quick steps for a clean wipe before following installation of SlimSaber? (I'm on CWM 6.0.4.5) Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

Will try tomorrow after work. I hate setting everything back up. Annoying and takes forever! Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah I found the network traffic thing. That's good. Still nothing with my external sd card. New issue. Battery life is atrocious! Off the charger at 100%. In my pocket for 5 hours, not touched, down to 60%! I am running this room stock. No different kernel. Ideas? Sent from my SGH-I777 using...

2 questions, 1 of which is stupid I'm sure. 1.) (stupid question) How do I get my external SD Card recognized? I mounted it in recovery, nothing. I un-mounted it in recovery, nothing. And in the STORAGE section, the options to do this are not highlighted ever to mount/un-mount the SD Card...

Given my past camera issue which is I believe was in the vast minority... Anybody think that replacing the camrra.apk (version 1.5) with one of the newer camera apk's would cause any issue with the camera hardware causing a failure or what not?

So 4.0 is stable? Also I said this in the SGH-S959G thread... the stock Jeboo kernel included in Shostock3 runs about 40MB more RAM than the AJK 4.9ms kernel. How can I go about getting the original stock kernel from Shostock3 installed replacing the AJK 4.9ms? I am sure this is simple, but...

Exactly! Yes my apologies. I just saw that it did the other day after I installed it on my new S2. Sorry for the inaccurate response. (I edited my original post)

So I got my phone back. Straight Talk sent me a refurbished S2. I guess thats fine. It didnt have a scratch on it so thats a major plus! AND the camera works! So after a couple hours of getting it rooted and back on Jelly Bean, reinstalling all my apps etc etc.... I noticed this.... I...

Congrats mrcook! I cant thank you enough! You (and razen_kain) have brought from total noob to, well... noob, but a decent noob! But I know what I am doing these days for the most part. I cant thank you enough. You deserve the recognition. Thanks Alot! I would definitely try mrcooks ROM as...

To many quotes to bother but.... mrcook.... THANK YOU! You are the man for sure. My only regret is that I didnt have a chance to go and play around with it. I was in that much of a hurry. But I used your new tar.md5 file through ODIN and voila. Everything booted up like a champ and I left...

I understand nowhere in the instructions does it say to extract it. But ODIN doesnt recognize it as a .RAR file. so thats why I tried to extract it.

Back to stock 2.3.6 Ginerbread and stock modem but Stock 3e Recovery does not work? I downloaded it 3 different times and tried installing it 3 times and each time CWM Recovery says this: Finding update package... Opening update package... E:Cant open /sdcard/SGH-S959G STOCK 3e RECOVERY.zip...

Hope someone is out there and quick..... Gotta send in my phone to straight talk for replacement. I undertand post 1 page 1. I want to go back to stock out of the box... recovery, firmware and the modem (why not). Do I or dont I have to use ODIN? Also when do i flash the stock modem? Is...

Well some of you know about my camera issues. Finally got somewhere with warranty support. Straight Talk is gonna replace it for free. SWEET!!! Now my question is... ST told me that I have to send my phone in first, then they will send me a new one. Well I just called ST to switch my number...

I have installed this ROM 3 times now, 3.0.2 version, NOT because there was something wrong with Shostock, my camera has stopped working, and every time i have ads in the apps The Weather Bug and Sazaam and maybe others I havent gone through yet. Is this normal? I did not have ads in these...

Yes I understand. I read the changelog on the OP and then it all hit me. I get it.

Thats what i saw during my travels the last few days on the net looking for S2 troubleshooting tips.

How? If it in AdvanceS app, it has one screen. The options are HIDE ON CHANGE, WIDGET BUTTONS and WIDGET BUTTON ORDER. Or is there a way to get to it from Recovery? And also... if I want the black background, I can not have the centered clock?

in the "AdvanceS" app, there is no where to change the notification color from clear to black. I dont think I chose clear either as Teknodad1974 stated just earlier. Do you have to reflash the ROM to get to the changes for this? BTW, mrcook... that install package was SWEEEEEET! Still aint...

I am a bit bored and maybe someone else is too. Brain storming time! This camera is driving me crazy! If the camera works sometimes, but usually not... why? Hardware or software? After a fresh reinstall of a ROM, it works most of the time BUT for only a little while then crashes itself in...

Been having this problem for a month now. The screen shot below is of the fuzzy white lines, usually its just black with the side controls still intact. I have tried everything. I have and am running, Samsung Galaxy S2 i777, Shostock 3.0.2 ROM, AJK 4.7ms kernel. I did a factory reset a few...

So I just wiped the phone and reinstalled JUST Shostock3.0.2 and the camera worked. Hooked it up to LG wall charger and BOOM...Camera Failed! Wiped again, reinstalled SS3, camera works. A few minutes later, I got the OEM Samsung wall charger plug and USB cable.... before I plugged it in, I...

Nope. Barely touch STweaks. And the things I do mess with do not have slider bars on them. They scare me! :eek:

Camera is broke again? No idea why it stopped working again. Noticed it last night about 2 hours after it was working. After it was working all I used was MX video player, internet and Facebook app. Another possible cause is the charger I use overnight. It's an LG charger into a wall outlet...

Yes you are right. I mistyped in my post. I corrected it. I do have the "mic swap" version installed. Thanks.

So I installed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day. I been having the same issue as a guy did a few pages back with MASSIVE battery drain. So I just reinstalled SS3 AND installed AJK 4.7ms kernel and....MY CAMERA WORKS!!!! I dont want to get ahead of myself here but.....:victory:

Well I just got done with LIVE CHAT with Samsung... didnt go so well.... Here's the conversation if you want to read it. Basically they told me that they have NOTHING to do with Straight Talk phones and ONLY Straight Talk can deal with issues and repairs etc etc. Cant wait to have that one...

Well that I know...lol. This is what I am trying to avoid of course. Regardless, I am trying to buy my friends S2 that he bought on Straight Talk at the moment but the idiot forgot his security question and answer. NOT going there unless its guaranteed to be able to be switched to me. I...

How is that possible? (i understand Straight Talk cant) As soon as Samsung turns it on and sees Jelly Bean instead of Gingerbread, thats a sign right away, along with CWM! You saying that they wont care? I find that impossible to believe when its under warranty and they have to fix it for...

Is that section on returning to stock REALLY returning to stock? NO CWM or anything? Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 with NO signs of being f'd with? Just asking cause it is still under the one year warranty from Samsung, although I have already seen a problem on the Samsung website with requesting...
